HE marvellous durability of mortar
IN Italy Is attributed to the fact that the
lime remains in q pit covered with water

II is commonly thought that the
freezing of water eliminates its impuri-
ties. Under some circumstances this is

the grosser impurities are often cap

A NEW method Of storing grain is pro
posed, in air-tight cylinders or bins of
sheet iron, to be sealed after a partial
exhaustion Of the air. It is said that
wheat, -four and bread so stored for
seven months, have been found in ex-
cellent condition, and that taking into
account the security Of the grain against
dampness, fermentation, attacks of in
sects and large vermin, fire and other
risks, when sealed in a partial vacuum,
the new plan is more economical than
ordinary storage in granary.
MINNESOTA millers no longer grind
wheat into -four, but "crack" it, and
burr mill-stones are things of the past,
Hungarian steel rollers having taken
their place. It takes five sets of steel
rollers to finish the flour, and each set
runs closer than the preceding. This is
q portion of the "new process" and en-
ables the miller to separate the germ OF
the wheat from the other parts, the
germ being Objectionable on account OF
the dark color it imparts to the -four.
For comparing the sensitivity of diff.

weights in ascertaining the facts he
wished to arrive at-the test being what
difference could be detected by the per.
sons handling certain weights. These
are his provisional results, subject, ot
course, to correction, but surprising
enough for all that: 1. intellectually
able men had more discriminating DOW
er on the whole than women of a Like
cast of mind. 2. Men, as rule, had 6
greater ability of estimating accurately
than women. 3. What appears strange
is that women of very sensitive nature.
did not seem to be more capable of dis
tinguishing between different degree.

What is stranger still is that the inves

FARIBAULT, Mimi, May 1.-THE
opening of the Brunswick was one
of the guradest and most notable events in
the history of Faribault. The hotel
Brunswick was built at cost of $4,000,
including furniture, on the site of the old
Barron house. 1t was built by Gordon E.
Cole, j. B. Wheeler and II. W. Pratt. 1t
has all the modern improvements, being
heated with steam, hot and cold water be-
ing accessible to all the forty looms of the
house. Messrs. Townsend and Patrick, of
Chicago, have leased the house for
term of years. The hotel was decorated
nicely and guests numbering some 400
of the wealth and society of the city, also
many invited guests from abroad. An
elegant banquet was provided by the hosts.
The Faribault band played at intervals,
and dancing was kept up until the small
hours, and it was merry as a marriage bell.
Long live the Brunswick, and the patrons
are always sure of the best accommoda-
tiOnS.

FILIAL OBEDIENCE.-One of my
greatest hobbies is the proper care Of
children. Dear little creatures. How
many of them receive no care at all.
How their little hearts must yearn for
the expressions of love and the earnest,
tender interest which is seldom, if ever,
given. Ny idea is that child's educa-
tiOn should commence as soon as it is
old enough to notice the things around
it. When its little hands begin to pull
mothers hair, just then it should be
taught that it is wrong. L have heard
mothers say: II would not scold the
little dear; it does not know any bet
ter" My friends, that is mistake.
When God gave unto them life, He
gave unto them, also, a mind capable
Of receiving instruction, and if
you take the trouble to teach them
they will soon learn to know better
There is one great principle which
should be instilled into children's minds
as early as they are capable of under
standing that is, true sense Of duty
to God, to themselves and to mankind
They must be taught the necessity and
great advantage of helping themselves,
and should not be permitted to depend
upon mother or any one else to make
everything smooth for them. Immedi-
ate and implicit obedience should be
required; not unjust, unreasonable or,
as is sometimes demanded, sinful obedi-
ence, but such as every parent has q
right TO expect from their children.
Make them know the immense value
of doing thoroughly, accordingly to
their ability, everything they undertake ;
and, above all things, insist upon them
being scrupulously truthful.

MONTREAL, May IA genuine specimen
on an extensive scale of Irish destitution
and poverty was witnessed here oday by
the arrival of 300 immigrants from Con-
nemara county en- route by the Grand
Trunk to st. Paul, MINI, with the inten-
ton of settling in that state. They were
accompanied by a young priest, to whom
they look for counsel and assistance, as
they were all in an impecunious condition
Their appearance was indeed miserable in
the extreme, each were poorly clad for
this climate, and great many were with
out shoes, They were mostly in families,
and seemed, care-worn and emaciated, no
doubt by the effects of hunger a home,
Even the train hands were afraid to enter
the cars until the Voyagers came out and
a hose was applied to wash out the interior.
The party is an installment Of those sent
out by the Tukes committee
It will take them considerable
time to recuperate their wasted strength
before they can go to work vigorously on
lands. These people make sad contrast
to the English and Scotch agriculturists
now crowding in at the rate of thousand
per day,en route through here to the north
west. Canada is also promised large share
of Tukes' immigrants. A good many of
those arrived to-day were anxious to stop
here if promised work. They received no
encouragement, as their coming was not
heralded, so they all went on. Owing to
their being for the states the Canadian
authorities did not provide them with
food as is done en- route with their own
immigrants. The local Irish societies were
not made acquainted with the arrival.
