BITS OF Iron IN THE GRIST.

In a collar.box on the desk of
down town dealer in machinery for
-four mills were twenty seven bits
OF wire of various lengths and forms,
two barbs. one nail head, two small
lsth nails. two pieces Of larger
nails, one piece o. screw, and a
piece of sheet iron.
"How is that for a grist ~ he re-
marked.
"Have you machine to grind
such things as that?''
"NoU exactly, but millers run lust
such grists through their nillst0nes
every day in the year. Several
years ago the genius Of the reaping
machine man invented an at
tachment by which the grain was
bound into Sheaves as il was cut.
The binding was done with wire.
AS conss quence, when the wheat
was tbrashed a coed deal OF tha
binding Wire went through the
thrasher and dropped out In bits
into the wheat. Millers, partieu,
larly in the northwest, found SO
much in the grain that profits were
seriously cat by the injury done to
tho milstopes. Two or thee as
sociations OF millers in different
States resolved 10 buy no wheat
that had been bound with wire.
That wouldn't work, of course {;
and it was not long before milling
journal advised the millers to put
magnets in the spoutS through
which the grain was received from
the farmer. The miller found that
he accumulated not only p lot Of
binding wire, hut odds and ends of
metal thai he had never dreamed
Of. This lot in the box came from
grist OF fifty bushels. But the
magnets had their awbacks. They
didn't catch al the iron, and they
had TO be cleaned by hand.
Then Ian inventor devised
machine which consists of
hopper, into which the grain runs,
and from which it is fed in an even
sheet over a plate of sheet iron.
The plate serves as an armsture FOR
gang of horseshoe magnets be-
meath It, and, becom ng msgnetiZsd
itself. it holds all the metal that
reaches il with The gram. Once a
minute an automatic wiper clears
the metallic substances from the
shee, of iron. The machines are Of
various siZss and makes. ranging in
capacity from twenty-five to 300
bushels an hour. New York Sun,

SEARCHING: FOR A REBEL

How a Confederate Girl Guarded

kee Soldiers.

We laid over at Jefferson City 9
few days. These delays became
necessary to let cur supplies bs

that our wagon trains had hard WORK
to get through.
The rebels had made arrangements
to raise \ grand liberty pole at this
place. The pole an elegant piece OF
timber had been selected and
dressed with much care, and was on
the ground ready to be erected. But
the approach of the Union troops had
alarmed the rebels So that they had
skipped away leaving their liberty
pole lying like a stuck of common
timber on the ground. Finding il
thus We concluded to proceed with
the good work. Oar soldiers prom pity
and merrily erected the fiag.stag
and with a brass band playing a
loyal national tune. dedicated the
liberty pole for our secesh brethren
by running to its top a good Union
flag. where it waved for the balapce
OF the day. high over their heads and
in sight OF all the people Of the town.
The Johnny Rebs had not only run
away, leaving their flagstaff in the
dust. bat bad gone in such hot haste
that the cOnfedeate flag which was on
it, large One already made and
at han1, had also been left behind.
The fact soon became known to our
soldiers. Now for the flag. There
ls nothing soldiers will attempt with
more lively zeal than to capture an
enemy'e flag. To tell them where
one is to be found is like putting a
Jealous hunter upon q fresh deer

soon ilearned-ioo we'll learned. It's
location made its o~pture impossible

soldiers promptly came away, leaving

how anxious they were to capture q
