PATENT FLOUR.

Almost everybody knows of patent
flour, but not every one understands
what it is. Stripped of technicalitie,,
this is about the story of its manufacture:
The best -four used to be made of winter
wheat. Spring wheat yielded either
much less in quantity or else so much of
the bran got into the -four in its manu-
facture that its color was intolerably dark
The wheat would be ground out ami
then boited. In the refuse-the braa
and middlings-would be included |.
large portion of the weight of the spring
wheat, and this would sell more partic
ularly for feed for horses. The best Of
-four, and the most expensive, is made d
this very refuse of the old fashioned pro
cess. 1t all came of the discovery of /
way to draw out the bran. Under thi
new process the wheat is ground abou
as before. The first result is an ordinar,
-four sold for expectation. Then the
remainder is taken and put upon hor
izontal sieves, and while agitation il
going on there an ingenious system oi
draft is rushing up through, and carries
off the bran. What is left is the glutin.

ductive, and out of this, purified now by
the drawing off of the bran, we get our
new process -four. The esult of the

STANLEY MATTHEW'S BROTHER.

In New York, Saturday morning, at
Jefferson Market court, low-sized,
shabbily dressed man, holding faded
soft hat in his hands, was brought to the
bar by one of the court officers. Instead
of addressing the Judge, the man took a
slip of paper from his pocket, and. writ
ing few lines upon it, gave it to the
officer to pass to the justice. The mag
istrate who sat on the bench and received
the communication was Justice Kilbreth
and, as he looked at the paper, he aud
bly read: 81 would like to speak with
you, judge, privately. Your old associ-
ate, Joseph Matthews!" repeated the
judge, as he lifted his eyes from the
paper and began to scan the shabby
mans face carefully. Then the writer,
stepping closer to the judges desk, said:
"Judge, do you recognize me? I knew
and played with you when was boy in
Cincinnati, about twenty years ago. 1
am one of the Matthew boys, who lived
just within a.block of your house" Judge
Kilbreth, leaning over and looking
straight into the mans eye, exclaimed:
"Do you mean to say you are Joe Mat
thews, of Longworth street, Cincin-
nati2"
II am, and brother of Judge Stan
ley Matthews, of the United States
Supreme court" replied the man.
After recess Justice Kilbreth invited
Matthews into his private room. Mat
thews said that he had been run down
from the effects of spree, and all he
desired was something to eat and bed,
until he could obtain work. Further
questioning established beyond a doubt
that Judge Kilbreth's applicant was in
reality the brother of Judge Stanley
Matthews. When asked why he did not
apply to his brother for help, Joseph
replied that he had done so too frequent
ly, and had received so much from
Stanley as brother that he felt he could
ask no more. Matthews was taken to a
neighboring restaurant, and given a
hearty dinner. Judge Kilbreth extracted
promise from him that be would not
touch liquor again, but. as soon as he
could get situation, would strike out
and endeavor to redeem himself. Upon
this agreement it was decided that Joseph
should write letter to Stanley, telling
him all that had happened. This was
done, and then Justice Kilbreth ordered
Court Messenger McAvoy to place the
man in comfortable lodgings and look to
his welfare until things altered for the
better. The man says: II wish it dis
tinctly understood that my brother
Stanley has nothing whatever to do with
my present condition. He has always
extended his hand to me, and 1 know
would do so now; but I am alone to
blame, and, although it's pretty hard to
do it, l must say [ acknowledge all my
faults to myself" When spoken to on
the subject, Justice Kilbreth said: II
am certain the man is brother to Judge
Matthews. I questioned him, and found
that he was one of the number OF broth
ers with whom I used to play with when
a boy. He is certainly run down some.
but with little rest and proper care will
be built up again" Judge Stanley
Matthews has been communicated with,
and says the man is his brother, and that
he need never want while he could help

A WoNDERFUL VAsE.-One of the
sights of London inst now is vase which
everybody is talking about. 1t is on ex-
hibition at Salviati's gallery in Regents

glass, standing on the back of rampant
horse, also of glass, the whole SO light,
SO ethereal looking, that one feels almost
afraid to move near it, lest it should be
broken by too sudden a movement on
the part of the astonished spectator.
This vase is the largest ever blown-at

FOUND AFTER MANY YEARS.

Some ten days ago Mr.. James Miller,
a resident of Chicago, telegraphed to the
police in this city inquiring if young
woman named Ida Miller was living in
Council Bluffs. He was informed that
no one answering the description given
in the message was known to be here,
but few days ago the woman in ques-
ton, it was learned, was residing in the
city, and Mr.. Miller, in Chicago, was
notified. Yesterday he arrived in the
city, and finding officers Morse and
Cusick stated that he was brother of
the young woman, Ida Miller, and said
that the two were separated by the death
of their parents when the sister was
about three years old, and he had long
since lost track of her until recently,
when he incidentally learned that she
was supposed to be in Council Bluffs.
The officers found the long lost sister,
who is a woman now 25 or 26 years of
age, and conducted her to the hotel at
which the brother had stopped. The
meeting between the two was very affect
ing and touching, and neither brother
nor sister could possibly have been more
happy then when they met after twenty
years separation.
For some time past Miss Miller has
been earning livelihood by working in
different families and taking care of one
of the school buildings in the city. She
is kno wn as an industrious and respect
able young woman. The brother is a,
well-to-do business man of Chicago, and
will take his sister there to reside with
him.

A DEAD WOMAN's HEART.

In o law Office on Jefferson Street, rot
a mile away from Fifth. yesterday after
noon, the proprietor sat with volume
OF legal lore on the subject of damages
opened before him, and c slip of paper
containing number of references by the
side of the book. From time to time
he read paragraph or line, and then
lay back in his chair with thoughtful
and rather puzzled look, as though he
was endeavoring to make certain facts
square with the statements which he had
made. In this situation a reporter of the
Courier Journal found him. Said he in
response to an inquiry: 81 have had a
peculiar and unusual set of circumstances
submitted to me with view to having
suit for damages brought, and I am at
a great loss to determine whether an
action can be maintained at law. A few
days sgo lady in this city died suddenly
of heart disease. Two well-known ply
sicians made a request of the family to
hold an autopsy, and as the friends of
the dead woman were not adverse to
having positive knowledge concerning
the cause of her death, the request was
complied with. They went to the house
and. excluding everybody from the room
where the body lay, proceeded with the
dissection. The heart was removed, an
examination made of its condition, as
we'll as the surrounding tissues, and
when their explorations were concluded
they apparently made a proper and
decent arrangement of the woman's
mortal remains, and left. Shortly after
their departure the discovery was made
that the heart had been stolen. The
scandalous action aroused the deep in
dignation of the lady's family, and they
at once came to me to see if the daring
doctor who had done it could be made to
compensate her representatives in money
for the outrage. I am now looking up
the question, but have as yet come to no
fixed conclusion. If woman's heart is
stolen during life she has no remedy but
to pursue the depredator and regain it,
or establish partnership with him for
the joint employment of the treasure;
but in case of dead woman the sub
ject is altogether different, and, no
principles having ever been established
that am aware of, it is time for some
thing to be done to settle the question. T"

A Dollars Worth OF knowledge.

Yesterday afternoon seedy-lookine
individual in winter clothing walked int
a beer saloon on Third Avenue. neal
1Wenty-first Street. He called for !.
glass OF German MILK and AS tn,
1roth showed its way to the top, he re
marked to the bartender This is 8
good summer for flies, and [ am elac
of it." e">
The bartender eyed the stranger fo,
a few seconds, and replied Yaas, 'tis
good summer for flies, but why should
you be glad p''
make my living out of flies," an.
swered the funny-looking man ; I'm
the man who can bring flies to life after
they have been drowned'' The beer.
Juggler had his opinion about the Gus
toner. Hes a little off" he exclaimed.
addressing several young men who dis,
played big shirt collars, and were talkino
about baseball matches. The "fly $
resuscitator became angry because his
abilities had been laughed at. I" Gimme
glass of water he cried, land I'll show
you how quick | can bring fly to life
after it has been drowned.'' t,..tI
The glass of water was produced, and
the man scooped fly with swing OF
his hand on the bar The fly was doiised
in the water. He kept it below the sur.
lace with wooden cigar lighter. 1t was
fully five minutes before thesiflv folded
It's wings, and bobbed up to the top to
all appearances dead. The stranger
picked it up gently and placed it on a
table, while crowd gathered about him.
. You all see." said he, " that that 'ere
fly is dead. Now watch me bring him to
life: Say bartender, give me some salt.'
The salt bottle was handed him, and
he covered the dead flv with salt and
offered to bet dollar "that the fiy would
waltz out alive in five minutes.'' The
bet was taken by a young man, and the
pile of salt was gazed at intently bv
twelve persons. Suddenly there was an
upheavel of the salt, and grains were
scattered about the table. The appar
entity dead fly struggled through the
covering, paused for a moment on the
heap to perform its toilet, and then
buzzed toward the lunch counter.
The fly resuscitator pocketed the dollar
ana went out saying: eta, ia, bows
you can get even on some other fellow
some other day. Now you know how to |
bring drowned fly to life.''
After his departure several flies were |
drowned and resqscitated, and the youne
man who paid dollar for this really old |
information went into neighborinsg
saloon, and was heard to say: s.rll bet
dollar that l can drown fly and bring

Dick Benbridge's Catfish.

"Two weeks ago, Mr.. Smith, living {
few miles from Calhoun, Ga.,, on The
| Costanaula River, lost heifer about
| three years old, and, as it was fine stock
made diligent search, but could not find
| It, A few days ago party of young
men fishing on the river were attracted
by the smell of adead carcass, and upon
examining the cause, 10 and behold! they
found a monster catfish, which had
swallowed the calf, and the horns of
the calf, becoming entangled in the oils
of the fish, had drowned the fish. The
fsh measured exactly twenty-three feet
and seven inches in length, and was five
feet eight and one-guarter inches across
the head, and, from the length of the
whiskers, was supposed to be III wears
old. .'-CaMoun Ga. Times. I,Uu. 3as
A Times reporter on Thursday last
read the foregoing extract to Captain
Benbridge, the celebrated mud-cat fish
erman OF this city, for the purpose OF
learning whether in his opinion the story
was worthy of credence. Captain B.
listened attentively to the reading, and
then unqualitiedly stated that he had no
doubt the catfish had swallowed the
heifer as related, and cited several in,
stances coming within his own experi-
ence to demonstrate the voraeityA1
''gaminess, the Captain termed itEof
the mud catfish. '.In 1882 said the
Captain, 81 was fishing at Goose Island,
in the Wabash, with my younger brother
Tom and Jay Mix, when Tom accident
ally lost his footing and was immersed
in twenty feet of water. As he was
good swimmer, however, I had no fears
for his safety, when suddenly, to my
horror, observed terrible commotion
in the water, and instantly saw Tom dis
appear within the jaws of an immense
catfish. Knowing that this species of
flsh had no lacerating teeth, / calmed
myself with the thought that, if could
manage to capture the monster, the
safety of Tom would still be assured, as
| should find him alive and well in the
catfish's belly. Jay and |, therefore,
captured one of John Rodefer's sheen
which was feeding on the island, through
which we run Iongitudinally boat
hook. to which we attached our painter
or boat-repe. With this immense bait
and tackle we commenced fishing for
the catfish, and in less than ten minutes
had him landed high and dry. and found
Tom safely ensconced inside. as safe and
and sound as if in a feather-bed. We
measured his finny highness and found
him to be nineteen feet long-one of the
largest ever caught. o yes, said the
Captain in conclusion, ..you may rely |
upon the Georgia catfish story as being
strictly true. .n-Lafayette (Iaad.J Times. |
