Filling a Barrel Of Flour.

A downtown -four dealer was past
ing a gaudy label on the head of q
flour-barrel, when young man stopped
by his side to watch the operation. As
the dealer gave the label parting wipe
he Strengthened up, paste-bru in
hand, and, looking sidewise at the label,
said: 'tIt is easier to fill barrel with
flour than to paste on the label.
The young man looked astonished,
and, seeing that, the dealer asked:
''How do you suppose barrels are filled
with four?n
s'ShoVeled with SCOOP"
That's where you are wrong. There
is four-packing machine. 1t would
be impossible to pack barrel of flour
by weight in the common four-barrel,
using only scoop. The flour-packer
consists of an upright shaft suspended
several feet above the floor On the
lower end is screw like propeller
wheel, or more like the cutting-blade of
post-hole augur. A tube of iron about
as large as the inside of barrel is sus-
pended around the Vertical-shaft, SO
that the bottom of the tube is on
level with the lower end of the shaft.
The barrel is placed on platform be-
low tie tube, and the platform and bar
rel are raised by coiled springs working
on shaft that winds up small chains.
until the bottom of the barrel reaches
the bottom of the tube. The -four is
fed into the tube from hopper, the
screw revolyes by steam, pressing the
flour against the bottom of the barrel.
AS the barrel fills it is forced away from
the screw. The tension of the coiled
spring is arranged to overcome the
weight of the flour, and thus the flour
is forced into the barrel under an even
pressure from top to bottom. y
{ How long does it take to fill bar
rel?"
about as long as it would take you
to wink. Sacks are filled in the same
way. Small tubes, according to the
size Of the sack, are used, and the coiled
spring is adjusted to suit large and
small sacks. There are several differ
ent styles, but they all cost the flour
packer a hundred dollars each. MY.

weak that they are afraid it might stop

Whats that got to do with Barnum's

Topnoody, striking out like a swimmer

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.


Corning, o., All Torn Up over The Recent
Expulsion of Andy AIcDevitt from the
TOwn-A WarOf Factions Likely to RESULT
COLUMBUS, o., March 6.
The trouble over the McDeyitt abduc-
ton at Corning is getting worse. Every
turn of affairs seems to irritate it, till there
is danger of violence. Andy McDeyitt,
who promised the mob last Sunday night
that he would never set foot in the town
again, returned Yesterday accompanied by
his friends carrying rifles. McDeVitt was
given a royal reception. Fully 1000
people met him at the depot and
escorted him to his store, where
he held an ovation during the
day, but did not remain in the town over
night. He and Father B. M. O'Boylan
have, however, not as yet been in the
town at the same time since last
Sunday. The reverend father left for
New Lexington on the train previous
to- McDevitt's arrival, expecting to re-
turn on the next train, but when he
saw the McDevitt party on the cars he
did not board it, and remained at the
County Jail with the members of his
congregation, who are under arrest. The
case of Father OF ylan was postponed
till Friday. The others win have.
no hearing till the Grand Jury
epeets next M6n9ay, as they waived
: n1liminary Summation. Andy McDev-

have Andy McDevitt indicted for killing

The other night a policeman who was

to a grocery and found the door UNI
locked and the key in the lock. He
sprung the bolt, put the key
in his pocket and . sauntered on,
and in the course of an hour found OPP
portunity to send word and the key to
the house of the proprietor. He didn't
expect any particular praise for his
action, but he was hardly prepared for
the storm which soon swooped down
upon him. The grocer himself, with
battered hat, torn coat and two fingers
bleeding, suddenly appeared before him
and said:
''If I've any influence in this town
I'll have you off the force inside of two

''Why, what's the matter?"

Our Young Readers.
NOTHING NE ".

You come to me, my little lad and lassie,
With eager, questioning looks,
To tell you something new, some curious
You can not find in books.
And you are eight and eleven, nowise
troubled
With wrinkles or gray hair;
And you have balls and dolls ana games
dozen,
Plenty to eat and wear.
And you have books with gayly painted pict-
ureS
Of kings and queens and slaves,
With stories of good people, wise and tender
And tales of wicked knaVeS.
And you can read of--oh! SO many countries
OF Unknown Gs people and their curious Gus
OF foreign fruits and trees;
OF famous battles fought by land and water,
OF ladies and brave knights,
GAY palace festivals with all the splendor
OF tossing plumes and lights;
And still YOU ask. my little boy and maiden,
For something new and strange,
All your young thoughts and eager RANGES
About Tt' the World for change.
Something you can not find in. .books or story?
Hidden away, to talk OF ana dream over,
When you are well asleep,
Hunting for fairies in some moon-touched
forest,
With these same troubled eyes
That lift to me- by day, their eager pleading
Fors new, sweet surprise.
And so you find in all your nursery legends
The things OF every day
Changed just little:-all the worlds new
people sA
Are going the old way
And TOO, you find that man to man Is brother?
That heart to heart is bound?
That all things answer, each unto another!
And that the earth is round?
To all the centuries, little boy and maiden,
You hold the thread and clew,
Beat lower, little hearts, and cease your ques-
lions,
know Of nothing new.

THE CITY OF COLUMBUS DISASTER.
Captain Wright Deprived of his License as
PLASTER and Pilot for Neglect of Duty.
pncrpA MAsc Maroh K

Captain Wright Deprived of his License as
PLASTER and Pilot for Neglect of Duty.
BosToA, MASS, March 5.
The local inspectors who investigated
the wreck of the steamer City of Column
bus, with the loss of seyenty-five of her
eighty-fve' passengers and twenty-eight
of forty-fye in the crew, report that the
backing of the engines after the ship
struck was fatal mistake. The report
goes, on to say: When the last course
was given Mate Harding by Captain
Wright, the ship was where any ordinary
landsman could have taken her past the
fatal rocks without the chart or compass.
We cannot help believing that had
special pilot been on duty no such disas-
ter could have happened on such night.
The immediate and direct cause of this dis
:aster was the neglect of the man or men to
watch the ships course. Captain S. E.
Wright was the only legal pilot on duty
at the time of the disaster, and for two
hours Immediately preceding, and for at
least one hour before she struck was not
at the point of duty of pilot attending TO
the actual duties and as master. For
illegally delegating duties of pilot to those
unauthorized, and for inattention to his
duties as pilot, his license as master and
pilot is hereby revoked.
Officers of the steamer who sighted the
wreck and who did not go to it as they
did not think for a moment of any one
being on or near the wreck are not sub
ject to any penalty.

PROGRESS in japan,

The Manchester Guardian says: For
about sixteen years-thatis to say, from
the restoration of the Milado to his an
Gent power in 1868 and the firm estab-
lishment of centralized government
Japan has steadily followed the path of
reform and progress pointed out by the
west. The feutlal system has wholly
disa ppeared. They have gradually as
simulated the laws, methods of admin
istration and political ideas which gov.
crn in Europe. They have created not
only an army and navy-these, indeed,
they do not by any means regard as the
chief of their advances-but q trained
judiciary, fiscal system and police and
prison organization, which place them
on level with the most enlightened
nations Of the globe. Nor has progress
of other kinds been wanting. Tele-
graphs now connect every town Of note
in the empire; railways arc
being made as quickly as circumstances
permit; the Japanese postal system will
bear comparison with that of any Euro
pean country, and native steamship
companies do most of the carrying trade
along the coast and a large share Of that
with the neighboring countries, China
and Corea. Every village has it's school,
and in the larger towns are preparatory
colleges for the central university in the
capital. Also large numbers Of stu
dents have been sent abroad to England,
France, Germany, the United States
and elsewhere, and have fairly held
their own against their more favored
competitors. Only the other day we
heard of a Japanese having been select
ed as chief assistant to the professor Of
anatomy in the Berlin University. In
short, the statesmen of Japan have
frankly adopted progress along west
ern paths as the text of their policy"

A Lucky Pool.

About the first of March twenty -sev.
en- workmen at the West Milwaukee
shops of the St. Paul road, nearly all OF
whom were employed in the paint de.
partment, conceived the idea of trying
their luck in the forthcoming drawing
of the Louisiana state lottery. With
the exception of one Oh two, who took
two chances, the men each contributed
one dollar, which was invested in tick
cts and a pool formed. The drawing
took place at New Orleans on the 18th
inst, and few days afterwards Henry
Rivers, foreman Of the railway company
paint shops, who had been iutrusted
with the matter, received advices from
MI. Dauphin, president of the Louis
lana lottery, that ticket No. Il, 467 had
drawn the first capital prize Of $75, 900,
one-ffth of the ticket being held by the
Milwaukee pool, emitting the members
to $15, 5000. Last week (Tuesday) the
money was paid to Mr.. Rivers through
the Marine and Fire Insurance com
pany's bank. The windfall has been
divided among the fortunate investors,
each receiving $555.55. The men were
highly elated over their unexpected
good fortune, and the promptness with
which the money was paid by the lot
terry management. Nearly every cent OF
the money has been invested in home
steads. A Wisconsin reporter made a
search for the names Of the lucky men.
but several who were seen refused to
talk about their lucky streak. Milwau-
kee (Wis.) Wisconsin, March, 31st.

The "Clay-Eaters."

In some sections of our southern
states, as in certain other parts of the
world, a peculiar buttery kind of clay
abounds, which the lower classes of
whites learn to eat-and the eating be-
comes confirmed habit. Captain Geer
of Ohio gives a graphic description of
the "clay-eaters" as he saw them while
a prisoner in Macon, Ca, during the
war.
One morning as stood gazing at the
guards about our prison, I was forcibly
struck with their appearance. They
were new set of men, who had relieved
our old guards, the latter having been
sent to Richmond. They were all tall
and ungainly, and in speaking always
said char" "sar," "whar" and "dar.
Their favorite exclamations were
"tarned Jerusalem" and II golly."
As I was thus surveying these men, I
heard one of them say
=. "Tom, what d you allus go to old
Sanders mill for? Why don't you go
to Mike Adams mill? ?"
II "Why," was the reply, "don't you
know there's great deal better clay up
at old Sanders than there is at Mike
Adams ?'''''. :
AS we were at this time under the
charge Of Captain Collins, who was more
,indulgent than any of our previous
keepers, we were allowed to converse
with the guards. I resolved to settle
this matter of clay eating; so I asked
one of the fellows to whom I have just
- l. Il ,&o1 l.
the clay he got at the mill. TIL.
"Why!!"s he shouted, "don't you know
snothin'? He wanted it to eat !" -. ':'s IS
1t. would be impossible to. describe
+ the personal appearance Of these wretch
ed :clay-eaters better than BY the re-
smark Of an Ohio lady, made on seeing
them IN oil their glory in Georgia.
Said she, They do not. look like fresh
dead men, but men who have been dead
some time. Beyond the Lines,
