Plugging Car H,oaas Of Wheat.

New York Sun.
Wheat is shipped to the western markets
in bulk, the grain being carried loose in the
cars as in a bin. Shippers sometimes mix in
ferior wheat with that Of good quality, put
ting it in the bottom or around the sides Of
the car load. Each load is tested with an in
strument little like sand pump, andif any
inferior wheat is found in the car the entire
load is classed as inferior. This penalty has
put dishonest shippers to their wits ends to
contrive ways of mixing poor with good
wheat, SO that there shall be the fewest
chances OF detection. An inspector Of grain
in Kansas City says that the most ingenious
plan for deeeiving buyers is to distribute a
number Ct bags Of poor wheat on the floor of
the car, standing the bags with their mouths
downward. When the car is filled up to the
level of the upper ends of the bags, the bags
are pulled out, leaving column Of poor
wheat here and there. The operation may be
repeated with another layer. The chances
Of the inspectors instrument touching the
inferior grain when it is thrust into the load
are much fewer than they would elf the
poor wheat were mixed in In any other man

"Who is it that COMES" said Washington man.
''TO visit our beautiful town,
With pleasant face, and mien of grace,
And cheeks that are ruddy and browns

Perhaps the head of a Ring;
He surely must be of high degree,

In Washington's huddle of men;
But cannot at all begin to recall
The how or the where or the when.
IA stranger, OF course; for straight he goes
To tbs White Houses door, declare!
He soon will appear with flea in his ear;
For nobody's now living there.'

The darby who walks apart,
And the rods and reels aud fiseing creels
SO dear to fishers heart.

That President Arthur is here,
And he means to stay, as the papers say,
