Proctor's Calculations.
From the Detroit Free Press.

According to Mr.. Proctor, if from a
single pair for 5000 years each husband
and wife had married at 81 years of age
and there had been no deaths, the pop
ulation would be 2,199,915 followed by
al ciphers. It would require to hold
this speculation number of worlds equal
to 3, 1876, 526 followed by 1875 ciphers. A
single globe sufficient to give standing
room to this population, ten to the
square yard, would have diameter in
proportion to that of the earth as seven
followed by forty-three ciphers to one.
Surprising the furthest star visible in
the great Rosse telescope to lie some
thirteen or fourteen millions of miles
further from us than the nearest, which
lies about 10000 times further than
Neptune, the distance from that star, to
travel from which light would require
about 40, 900, O00years, would be but the
100000, 900, 900, 600, 900, 900, 900, OOOth
part of the radius of such a globe as
would be required to hold the popula-
ton we are considering. A sphere hay
ing radius equal to 100, 900, 900 of years
Of light journey would not suffice to
contain so many human beings. At this
rate the universe itself would begin to
get crowded without even the services
of commission of immigration.

How Dat Meal is Made.
From the American Miller. |

The first operation in the manufacture
of meal is the removing from the oats all
cookie, small oats, and foreign seeds of
whatever kind, for if any OF these re-
main the quality of the meal is much in
iured. Black oats, if even of good qua
lily, give bad appearance to the manu-
featured meal, as it reappears In the
form of black particles, which to the tidy
housewife appears to be something much
more uncleanly. After the oats have
been properly cleaned by sitting, they
are next subjected to the operation of
drying. This is accomplished by dry
kiln, with special apparatus constructed
for the purpose. This operation re-
quires some care to prevent the oats
from burning. AS soon as sufficiently
dry they are removed from the kiln
while still very hot, and stored il such &
way as to have them retain their heat;
after thus remaining three or four days,
and hardening, they are ready for the
Smelling operation. This Smelling is ac-
complished by passing the oats through
millstones Of a special pattern. The pro-
duct that comes from the stones is
greats, OF the whole kernels, dust seeds,
etc., and these must be separated; by
means of combination of sieves and
fans the greats are separated from the
other material, and are then ready for
grinding. For extra quality meal the
greats may again be shelled and also
passed through a brushing machine
The grinding of them must not be long
delayed, as few weeks exposure rend-
ers them unfit for milling. In grinding
the groat, the great aim is to avoid pull
verization, and to have the granules cut
square and of uniform size. Dat meal
is generally denominated by the cut-as
pin-head cut, rough cut, medium and
fine cut-though these terms have differ
ent meanings in different districts. After
the grinding the meal is passed through
sieves and siftings graded according to
size. -. -----

of doing SO, and. suddenly the dull eyes
frightened with momentary CLEAN of

Yes, yes and God bless you -
And I too was thanking heaven for

and it was only the work OF moment

With Mrs. Cecil came the housekeeper

The old mans arms had been lifted

died.

Undisturbed Equilibrium.

Nothing IS ever lost by being pleasant
and agreeable. You ask for two pounds
of steak-no more, no less. One butch
er groWls that he cannot cut off two
pounds, and you leave him thoroughly
vexed. At the next stall the man hears
your request with unrufied visage, cuts
off pound and half, slaps it on the
scale and out again in double quick time,
rolls it up neatly, and says with sweet
smile, "Just two pounds, ma'am." He
is the man who succeeds and makes
double profit in these frozen-meat
times.

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THANKSGIVING.
BY B. H. sToDDARD.

If gracious smiles are met with smiles,
(And who would meet them otherwise?l
And tender words persuade the heart
Till tears, kept back, unbidden start
In dry and unfamiliar eyes
IL acts of courtesy like these,
The common coin of every day,
Pass current everywhere, and make
So many richer for their sake,
For none can be too poor to pay.
What shall be- can be said for those
Who greater gifts their whole lives long
Receive without Acknowledgement
Receive, perhaps. with discomfort,
Without thankful word, or song2
Time was they were not, now they are;
A Power by them unseen, unknown,
Produced them-not to die like flowers
Poor pensioners of summer hours,
For they remain, though years are flown.
From nothingness to conscious Life,
That teels Itself if nought beside,
And straightway all it sees demands,
Perpetually puts forth its hands
To take, and viii not be denied;
That such a creature, selfish, frail,
One-half whose days are passed in sleep,
Watched over by maternal eyes,
Which, when It's small breath comes in signs,
Tremble. and ready are to weep.
hat childhood should il, manhood end
Is strange as childhood just begun.
Why did be live? He might have died,
What made Deaths arrows glance aside?
The Power of Life and Death is one,
This he perceivcs not, or forgets,
For now because he lived he lives;
He has his raiment, and his food,
Accepts what comes, and finos it good,
And never thinks Of Him who gives
Something he sought be may have missed,
Or in his heart or IN his brain:
Fame, power, wealth, love. If 50, what then!
Blot all these from the lives Of men,
Still Man, and Life, and Earth remains,
The sun still rises as of gold:
The stars and planets shine on h1gt;
The great sea laughs: clouds come and go;
Rains fall: birds sing; the sweet flowers blow;
And fragl ant is the west winds sigh.
o Earth, though art goodly world!
And who deny, if such there be,
The Power that placed them here, should own,
Thou symbol of that Power Unknown,
Their endless gratitude totheel
They breathe the air that stir thy trees:
Thy sunshine is their constant light;
Without thy haryests they would die,
Their sustenance and sole supply;
They lie, and slumber in thy night!
But say thou art no more, o Earth!
Than we behold from day TO day,
An inn, We travellers, thou at least
Has spread US many bounteous feast
And comforted upon the wayI
We thank thee, and through thee the Host,
Who has provided of His best,
And housed US we hate to go;
For we can never hope to know,
More watchtul care, more perfect restI

INDIAN SUMNER.
BY ANDREW B. sAxToN.

After October's biting frost it seems
That summer days return. The partridge Wflirs
noisy wing to ambush in the frs;
And for while the retriCks his beams.
1t is an autumn that of spring-time dreams.
The warm breeze comes and softly stirs
The silent tree-tops, and the empty burs
Which, oosened, drop into the leafclogged streams
All! dear, this tardy sunshine, and the last!
80 shall we fnd-our summer being past,
And hoar-frost with us-for little breath
80 fair country, such genial air;
And shall forget our woes and unaware
Step over to the border-land of DEATH
