IMPERFECT KNOWLEDGE.

In all manufacturing countries may
be found scores of workmen who have
but imperfectly learned their trade.
They infest shops, bother employs and
disgrace workmen. They are the w
grants of the trade. The country needs
skilled workmen. 1t is only at rare in
tervals that business is SO fiat that skill
is not in demand, but there are frequent
periods of sla kness when only skillful
ga reila1.la sSen $40 wanted. There is
no royal road to the position OF skilled
workmen. It must be reached by the
close, attentive, patient plodding of the
apprentice through the lane of learning
into the broad road of competent ac-
quiremcnt. The entire matter resolves
itself into the plain, old-fashioned rule,
of sticking to business. No looking
back after the hand is placed to the
pillow. There is hard work and unpleas
ant work to be done, but it must be
done else the apprentice never becomes
the workman. Serving one year, or two,
is not sufficient.

e. HOW FLOUR rs MIDE.

Flour was formerly made by simply
grinding wheat at one operation to the
finest possible -four, and then separating
by sleeves the flour from the bran. me-
cessarily grinding in much of the bran
with -four and discoloring it, while much
Of the very best material was separated
with the bran and lost The latter COM
mon method is to grind very coarsely
the wheat several times, using strong
blasts OF air between each grinding to
separate the bran from the granulated
interior portion, and ct last crush it to
the floor, relieved of all the bran. The
new electric method consists in passing
the middlings under revolving hard-rub-
Der cylinders, electrified by contact with
sheepskin. The particles of bran fiy up
to meet the rubber, from which they
are turned off in side channel, the pu-
rified middlirg, freed from ban, passing
through rollers to become fine -four.

urn n,scoyERrrs.

It is 1888 years since Christopher Col
umbus discovered the new or western
world. He is commonly mentioned as
the discoverer Of America, meaning this |
continent, and many intelligent persons
are under the impression that he was
such. But the well-known fact is very |
different. The first land that greeted
his sight Oct. Il. 1892, was one Of the
Bahamas, now known as Waiting island.
1t was long thought that he had land
ed on Cat island, but the latest mvesti-
cations show this to have been mis-
take. Columbus gave to the first land
he had found in the western hemis-
phere the name Of San Salvador, which
has since been officially SO called. After
discovering several others Of the West
Indies, including Cuba and Hayti (San
Domingo)-h christened the latter His
paniola-he returned to Spain, suppos-
ing those islands were on the coast of
India, and consequently named the ma
tives Indians. His second voyage made
him acquainted with the Caribbean
islands, also Jamaica and Porto Rico,
and he then sailed back; after founding
colony at Hispaniola, which he had
imagined to be the Ophir of Solomon.
His third voyage took him to the mouth
of the Orinoco, which he thought to be
the great River Gihon, having its rise
in the Garden of Eden; to the coast of
Para, to Trinidad, Margarita, and Cuba
qua. On his fourth voyage he merely
explored the coasts of Honduras and
Costa Rica, having been turned from his
original purpose to secure passage
uniting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by the mutiny of his crew, bent on find
ing gold, and WAS obliged by various
| disasters to return to Spain. He died
in poverty and neglect, and in entire
lsignoranee of the grandeur of his explor-
alton. He had no idea that he had dis
covered new world; the belief that
the places he had visited were part of
In,iia he retained to the last. The dis
covcry of the coast line of this continent
is generally ascribed to John. Cabot,
long resident of Bristol, and virtually
an adopted Englishman, though pre-
sumably a Venetian by birth. His son
Sebastian has often been credited with
the discovery, but on insufficient
grounds. 1t is remarkable that neither
john Cabots age nor the place or time
of his birth or death should be positive
ly known. A noteworthy fact is that
tho man who discovered the western
world, the man vino discovered North
America, and the man whose name was
given to this ontinent-Amerigo YES
pucci-should all have been natives of
Italy. Vespucci has been much mis-
understood and maligned. He has been
unjustly regarded as an unprincipled adj
venturer. But. he had many attain
ments; was an honest, conscientious
navigator, and had nothing to do with
the name of America, which probably
came from Germany, Martin Waldsee-
muller, of Freiburg, having called this
continent Aaeraci Terra as early 1907.
, Vespucci was close friend of Columbus
in the latter years Of Columbus life,
and evidently had no intent to rob his
friend of any honors that belonged to
linn.

SpeculatiOns as 10 the Future Life.

Years ago, in the days of Bishop But
Ter, very much stress was laid upon the
,analogies in nature illustrating, and sup
porting the idea of future life, and the
treatises then written were models of in
tellectual power and patient research. A
great impression was produced, not only
upon uneducated but educated minds.
Since that period science has progressed
with giant strides, and at every step has
SO largely added to the list OF striking
analogies or incidental proofs, that the
illustrations of early date seem few in
number and dwarfed in proportion and
force. The idea Of all unseen immateriai
existence involves, also, the idea of IN
seen activities and correspondence in the
rayless realm. The most stolid of us can
not fail to be impressed with the beauti-
full analogies which recent scientific dis
covery affords Do we not every day
converse with unseen friends long dis.
tances away, do we not recognize their
familiar voices, Ill homes separated from
us by rivers, woods, and mountains?
These voices come out of the darkness,
guided by frail wire which science pro-
vides as pathway. Even when the cur
tain OF night is drawn about us the
voices are heard, and we have not
the shadow of doubt of their integrity
and identity.
And further, have we not analogies Of
sight which startle us by their signif.
canoe? Is it not true that when abroad
we are open to the view of unseen OBJ
servers long distances from us, and our
every act and movement known? The
excellence Of optical instruments is such
that we have seen the motion of the lips
Of persons in conversation. while sitting
on house balcony three miles distant,
the observed, of course, wholly uncon-
scious of being seen by any one. If our
friends in this life, dead to us hidden as
they are by the shroud Of space), can be
seen, and we can hear their voices, their
shouts of laughter, the words of the
hyn s they sing, the cries of the little
ones in the mothers arms, is it very alb
surd to anticipate time when those
dead to US by the dissolution of the
body may, by some now>unknown tele-
phone, send us voices from realm close
at hand, but hidden from our mortal
eyes.
We have no proofs to offer that this
realm of the departed, this home of the
soul, is close st hand but it is certainly
more reasonable and sensible to adopt
this hypothesis thaa the popular one Of
material wori, or Place, somewhere
afar off in the depths of space. Ono
view seems possible, The other absurd

USEFUL HINTS.

LAMr-saApns Of ground glass should
De washed with soda and water, which
will not discolor them.
STRAW mating may be cleaned with
large coarse cloth dipped ii salt and
water and then wiped dry The salt
prevents the straw from turning yellow.
TEA leaves, used for keeping down
the dust when sweeping carpets. are apt
TO stain light colors; salt is the best In
the winter and new-mown her in SUM
mer. 49,
THE best known preventive for falling
, hair is American petroleum. 1t should
be rubbed on the head quickly with the
palm of the hand. In oil it should be
three days.
To MAKE SHOES WATERPRooF.-A
coat OF -copal varnish applied to
the soles of boots and shoes, and re-
peatsd as it dries until the pores are
filled, and the surface shines like pol
isllod mahogany, will make the soles
waterproof, and make them last three
times as long.
To REMOVE GREASE STAINS FROM
Woop. Spread some starch powder
over the grease spots, and then go over
it with hot fiatiron till you draw the
grease; then scrape with glass or a
proper scraper, and repeat the starch
powder and hot iron. Ammonia liquor
may be used as a finish, if the starch
does not take oil the grease out.
To REMOVE freckles from your face,
ko1r of L,k@ar -, Ia,
ounce Of barley-four, and sufficient
quantity of honey; beat the whole into
a smooth paste, spread it thinly on the
skin at night, and wash it off in the
morning. 1t is frequently possible to
remove freckles without decomposing
them, by merely stimulating the alb
sorbent vessels of the skin.
THE following Is said to be a cheap
and true barometer Put small guam
tity OF pulverized alum in long half
ounce bottle, and fill it with spirits of
| wine. When the atmosphere is clear
and dry the spirits will be as clear as
q crystal. but on the approach of rain or
bad weather the alum will raise in
the form of a spirit cloud, which is
an infallible indication of rain or bad
weather.
How TO CLEAN HAIR BRUSHES. is
best to clean two at time, in this way !:
First, comb them well, to remove the
loose hair or dust, then dip the bristles
only in very warm water, sprinkle each
brush with plenty of powdered borax,
and rub the two together after they are
cleansed thoroughly, have pitcher of
hot water, and pour it over the bristles i;
keep the back Of the brush as dry as
possible. Shake the water well out
dry quickly in the sun. Brushes
washed in this way will retain their
stiffness.
| BLEACHING Flannel which
has become yellow with use may be
bleached by putting it for some days in
q solution of hard soap to which strong
ammonia has been added. The best
proportions are one pound and a half of
hard curd soap, fifty pounds of soft wa
ter, and two-thirds of pound of strong
ammonia solution. The same object
may be attained in shorter time by
placing the flannel for quarter of an
hour in weak solution of bisulphate of
sodium, to which q little hydrochloric
acid has been added.
