an invitation TO Try fine Savannah CT.

Waste Moments.

All through life there are odd inter
walls of time not regularly allotted to
any particular duty or profession, that
if caught up and improved, would pre-
sent fair record for the great sum-
ming up hereafter
Take up some useful book, or dis
charge some little duty that has for its
end the happiness or well-being of
some one, whether friend or foe, for let
no moment be lost by sitting listlessly
with folded hands when there is too
much to be accomplished in our brief
seventy or eighty years.
1t is wonderful how much may be
done by this vigilant care that no time
shall be squandered in inglorious mac
tivity. See what Elihu Burritt did by i'm
proving those odd moments when a
poor apprentice boy. He always had a
grammar of some language fastened
before him on the chimney of the forge,
so that when he was blowing the bel
lows, he could catch up a golden
thought to enliven his toll and tell out
in the future the mighty work he had
wrought by improving every moment
of his time.
Ben Johnson, the great English poet,
was in early life poor brick-layer.
With book ever in his pocket, while
waiting for another to bring him the
brick and mortar, he CLEANED from its
pages useful thoughts and hints that
gave him immortality rs man of lore
and letters.
Let no one say he has no spare time
for study when such examples are be-
fore him, and so much has been achiev
ed by taking care to improve waste
moments. Much may be done by OBJ
serving a system in all we do, whether
it be in study sleeping, eating or re
creation of any kind. Try the expert
ment, and you will be surprised to fine
how much has been done by simply
devOting little intervals of leisure (
some useful and laudable end.

The General and the Army.

Genera Sheridan has shown signs
since he look hold Of the army of an
intention to pursue a vigorous policy.
For one thing, he has been astonish-
ing the army by ordering a series of
exchanges of stations between regi-
ments in the East and regiments in
the West. He believes that for their
mutual good and for the good of the
service exchanges of stations should
be more frequent.
An exchange means a great deal to
the regiments concerned One has
been perhaps ten years at some East
ern post-Fort McHenry, Baltimore,
for example. 1t has taken root. Sud
denly, often with very little warning.
it must go out in the Indian country to
resume routine life under totally diff.
ferent conditions. At the same time a
regiment which has been fixture fol
u decade in New Mexico or Montana
comes into civilization again. 1t is
often quite as disagreeable for the
Western regiment to come East as fol-
the Eastern regiment to 20 West
Why, sir" said an old army officer,
eff the regiment at Fort Blank, Dako-
tn, were ordered East to-day II would
bankrupt every officer on its roster
Every one of them has some local
scheme for making mOney-a farm, or
mine, or a herd of cattle, or some
thing that they could not give up with
out great loss. From time immemoria
army officers have always done little
mOney-making as they went along Out
on the plains. Take Dodge City
Kansas. That was built on town
site purchased by an army surgeon
from a squatter for a few hundred dol
lars, aud afterward sold by the army
surgeon for more than $4,000. That
one of numerous cases. Most of those
officers who have been long in tn,
West, where they have any shrewd
ness ut all, have some money laid M

rather at q loss to understand.
One would think Josephine never
had had an aunt, fresh out of Noah's
ark before" he muttered to himself, as
he took up the newspaper and went
out to the Vine-shaded piazza, there to
while away the time until such period
as lunch should be announced.
"Charlie!'
He had exhausted the paper long
but at his sister-in-law's summOning
voice he started to his feet and entered
the house.
Aunt Stephanie wants to thank you
for all your kindness to her this morn
ing" said Josephine.
"Confound AuntStephanie," j." thought
Mr.. Early, advancing drowsily toward
the front room, where, in a sort of arti-
ficial twilight, produced by satin cur
tains and Venetian blinds, he could
dimly descry figure.
| Suddenly Josephine threw back the
shadOwy draperies and there, instead
of a bent and crooked old woman
stood Il lovely girl Of eighteen, with
deep blue eyes and golden curls, set off
with white muslin dress, with abund-
ance of floating ribbons lOOped and
knOtted about it,
" "Stephanie Osbornew he calculated,
instantly recognizing his fair enchant-
ress of the seaside.
" "NO-my Aunt Stephanie!" inter-
rupted Josephine, demurely.
What mystery is this?" demanded
Early, looking with Il puzzled face
from one to the other. "Are you
" am the veritable old lady of the
railroad train!" laughed the golden.
haired lassie, with becoming glow OF
color in her cheeks.
Don't look so astonished, Charles

"And may l be your husband

"I-Tll think of it," said Stephanie
laughing and blushing. "At all events
Charlie, I like you ten thousand time
better since have seen how devoted
you were to the poor old woman in tn
snuff-colored cloak" :"

How Oatmeal is Made.

The first operation in the mSnufac-
ture of the meal is the removing from
the oats all cookie, small oats and for
eign seeds of whatever kind, for if any
of these remain the quality of the meal
is much injured. Black oats, even if
of good quality, give a bad appearance
to the manufactured meal, as it reap
pears in the form of black particles,
which to the tidy housewife appears to
be n something much more uncleanly.
After the oats have been properly
cleaned by sitting they are subjected
to the operation of drying This is
accomplished in dry kilns, with special
apparatus constructed for the purpose
This operation requires some care to
prevent the oats from burning. As
soon as sufficiently dry they are re-
moved from the kiln while still very
hot, and stored in such way as to
have them retain their heat; after
thus remaining three or four days and
hardening, they are ready for the she'll
ing operation. This shelling is accom-
plished by passing the oats through
mill-stOnes of u special pattern. The
product that comes from the stems is
groats, or the whole kernels, dust
seed, etc, and these must be separated.
BY means of a combination of sleeves
and fans the grOats are separated from
the other material, and are then ready
for grinding. For extra quality meal
the grOats may be shelled, and also
passed through brushing machine
The grinding of them must not be long
delayed, rs u few weeks exposure rem
ders them unfit for milling. In grind
ing the grOat, the great aim is to avoid
pulVcriZatiOn, and to have the granules
cut square and of uniform size. Oat-
meal is generally denOminated by the
cut-as pin-head cut rough cut,
medium and fine cut-thOugh these
terms have different meanings in diff
ferent districts. After the grinding
the meal is passed through sieves and
the siftings graded according to size.
