Cracking Wheat Into Flour.

Minnesota millers no longer "criud"
wheat into flour. They "crack" it, and
the people of the Northwest claim that
the new process makes their hitherto in.
ferlor wheat the most valuable in the
world. Burr stones are things of tho
past and Hungarian steel rollers have
taken their place. These rollers are
about thirty inches long and eight inches
in diameter. 1t takes five sets of steel
rollers to finish the flour. Each set of
rollers run closer than the preceding.
After the wheat passes each set of roll
ers it is bolted or sifted through coarse
cloth. This cloth lets the disintegrated
particles of wheat through and passes
off the bulky and larger pieces, which
sIs Tai through another aud u closer set
OF rollers and cracked again. The last
rollers leave little else but wheat hula
and waxy germs Of wheat, which do not
crack up, but smash down like piece of
wax. The germs of kernel of wheat ia
not good. 1t makes -four black. By
the old milestone process this waxy germ
was ground up with the starchy potion
and bolted through with the flour. By
the new system of cracking the kernel
instead Of grinding it this germ is not
ground, but fattened out and sifted or
bolted out, while the starchy portions of
the wheat are crushed into powdered
wheat or -four. All the big mills of
minneapolis now manufacture by the
new process.

How 1t Came About.

The recent decision of Judge Wither-
spoon that retail liquor dealers or bar
keepers can collect bar debts seems to
have created some surprise, which is not
astonishing, as the law making them col.
lectible is of recent date. Section Q of
the Act Of 1849 to alter and amend the
license laws Of the State is as follows:
THAT If any tavern keeper shall give
credit to any person or persons, for
spirtuous liquors, he, she or they SO
trusting or giving credit to any person or
persons, as aforesaid, shall lose the debt
and be forever disabled from suing for
or recovering the same or any part there
of Any note. bill, bond or other securi-
~ which may be given for any spiritu.
Gus liquors sold or drank in or at his or
her house shall be void; and if any tav-
ern keeper shall sue for any such debt,
the person or persons sued shall and may
plead this Act in bar thereof"
The Revised Statutes which were COM
piled by the Corbin Commission re.enact.
ed the above portion of the license laws,
but the compilation of the Simmonton
Commission, which took effect from May,
1882, repealed it. Hence any bar debt
contracted since May, 1882, can be col.
lected by law the same as other debts.
Some papers of the State speak OF the
decision rs nothing new. They knew it
all along. It strikes us as q right not
over year old.

Tie Lesson the Little Ant Taught.

A little girl, being given task in nee-
die work by her mother, took chair out
under o shade tree in the yard and pre-
pared to finish it. The surroundings out
there were very pleasant. The birds
sang merrily as they few from limb to
limb; inc air was mild and balH1y, and
everything looked cheerful and bright ;
yet she was unhappy and discortented.
She did not want to work, and while the
task was not hard, she imagined it was
and thought she was tired before she be-.
gan it. So, instead of beginning at once
and getting it done soon, she let her
work lie idly in her lap. Then her gaze
fell on bittle busy ant which was try
ing to drag along crumb of bread very
much larger than itself, but il came to O
twig which it found hard to crawl over
with its burden. The ant tried to pull
it over the twig, and after getting it up
little, tumbled off. Next It tried to
push the crumb over, and the burden
tumbled over on it. The insect could
have easily gone around the twig, but
did not think of this, and went on drag.
ging and tumbling in the same old way.
Finally il got over and proceeded on its
way. This set the little girl to thinking
and she wondered what made the ant do
as it had done. Something said it was
perseverance, and the birds seemed to
sing over and over again, perseverance, u
until she picked up the sewing and was
surprised TO find how soon it was finished
Often aherward, when tempted to neg.
lect or put off some duty. the little girl
thought of the ant, and whispering to
herself perseverance,, soon put the temp
ter to fight.

Eiia GTea. Bridge.

The New York and Brooklyn Bridge,
which YVES open to the public on the oath
of May, Is unquestionably the most mag
nificent structure that human skill ever
brought to triumphant completion. It
is too grand an object to be limited to a
local pride and praise. It has a national
relationship, and the whole nation is
proud Of this achievement of beauty and
grace, of grandeur and inconceivable
ponderousness, and everlasting solidity.
Few people who gaze with admiration
and wonder upon this structure, have
any conception of the magnitude of the
work in detail, or Of the difficulties that
had to be overcome, from the laying of
the deep foundations of the towers to
the completion of the beautiful serial
span that unites the two cities. A full
description of the bridge would require
an extended space, hence, only q men
ton OF some Of the prominent features
can be made. The illustrious engineer,
Mr.. John A. Robeling, who was ap.
pointed to conduct this great undertak.
ing, did not live to see the accomplish.
ment of his plans. Fortunately lie was
succeeded by his son, Washington A.
Robeling, a man of great engineering
ability, who had been associated with
his father in many of his principal works.
The work of preparing the site Of the
foundation. of the Brooklyn tower was
commenced. in January, 1870. The
towers are built at the extreme wharf
line in deep water. The depth to the
solid rock bed below the river bottom
rendered the task Of laying the founda.
ton OF the towers O most arduous and
difficult one, and the engineering skill
inyOiyad in this rvnrb fu tr,Iy r,,rColn,.
The total length of the bridge is $3.50
feet. The length of the aerial span
from tower to tower is nearly 1000 feet.
the central altitude of the span being
1876 feet above mean high water mark.
The immense steel cables rest on the
top of the tall towers and are not fas-
tened to them, but are anchored inland
at distance Of $50 feet back from the
towers. The anchors are of solid ma.
sonry and weigh about 10000 tons each,
sufficient beyond all measure to resist
the pull on the cables. The weight OF
the central span-that is the suspended
structure-is 6,740 tons. The four large
| cables are 15i inches In diameter and
are constructed of wires in parallel form,
| and bound together by continuous
wrapping of wire. Each cable contains
10 strands Of 278 wires each.
There are five avenues on the bridge.
The two outside ones, nearly 10 feet
wide, are foI the use of vehicles. The
central avenue, used for d foot way has
a width of 154 feet, and Is l2 feet higher
than the side avenues. The cost Of the
bridge is sI5,6OO, 900. The view from
the bridge is very fine, as it takes in

Anecdotes OF Twins.

Two twins were fond of playing tricks,
and complaints were frequently made !;
but the boys would never own which was
the guilty one, and the complaints were
never certain which of the two he was.
One head master used to say that he
would never fog the innocent for the
guilty, and another used TO fog both.
No less than nine anecdotes have
reached me of twin seeing his or her
reflection in a looking glass and address.
ing it in the belief it was the other twin
in person.
l have many anecdotes of mistakes
when the twins were grown up. Thus
Amusing scenes occurred at college
when one twin came to visit the other,
the porter on one occasion refusing to
let the visitor out Of the college gates,
for though they stood side by side he
pEofessed ignorance as to which he ought
to allow to depart.
Children are usually quick in dislin.
gushing between their parents and his
or her twin; but havo two cases to the
contrary. Thus the daughter of twin

larity Of their voice. features and man.

| have also German letter, written in
quaint terms, about twin brothers who
married sisters, but could not easily be
distinguished by them.
In the we'll known novel of Wilkie
Collins of Poor Miss Finch" the blind
girl distinguishes the twin she loves by
the touch of his hand, which gives her q
thrill that the touch of the other brother
does not. Philosophers have not, I be-
lieve, as yet Investigated the conditions
of such thrills; but I have a case in
which Miss Finch's test would have
failed. Two persons, both friends of q
certain twin lady, told me that she had
frequently remarked to them that kissing
her twin sister was not like kissing hel
other sisters. but like kissing herself
her own hand for example.
1t would be an interesting experiment
for twins who were closely alike to try
