A Valuable Invention.

Herr Wenstrom, Swedish engineer,
has invented machine for separating
iron ore, apparently one of great utility
as an adjunct to the appliances of iron
furnaces and one for which use can be
found at rolling mills and engineering
works. A hollow cylinder is caused
to rotate horizontally by means of cog
wheels at its ends. In the center of
the cylinder is kind of drum of iron
bars which is made highly magnetic by
an electrical apparatus. Iron ores are
fed over the cylinder as it rotates, and
the fragments adhere to it so long as
the magnetic action of the iron drum
suffices to offer the necessary action,
but fall off on the reverse side in three
distinct heaps, according to their rich
ness. The feeding must be done very
carefully and the ores must first be
crushed. The power required is very
small. Forest. Forge and Farm.

How One Of Them Procured Meal at
Time When Ratfons Were Scarce.
During the war Ferd. Hamilton was
once assigned to duty as orderly to Gen.
eral Pagan. Hamilton's character is
study. War, pestilence, nothing could
destroy his peculiar Individuality. One
day General Pagan called on gentle
man who lived several miles distant
from the camp. Hamilton accom-
panied him. He rode at regulation
distance behind the General. AS they
neared the house. Pagan stopped at a
large. heavy gate, of course, expecting
Hamilton to dismount and open it.
Hamilton rode up and stopped. Pagan
looked at him; he looked at Pagan.
Pagan got down, without saying a
word, and opened the gate. Hamilton
rode through and waited until the Gen.
eral caught up with him. Pagan
htched his own horse and, taking a
seat on the gallery, began converse
ton with the man whom he had come
to see. Hamilton hitched his horse,
took seat near Pagan, leaned back,
lighted cob pipe and took an active
part in the conversation. Pagan was
strict dsciplinarian, but he had such a
sense of humor that, eXcusing himself.
he went behind the house and laughed
until he grew red in the face.
In the same command there was an.
other humorist, a practical joker
named Henry McNette, who is now a
pilot on the Arkansas River Just at
this time in the history of the Confed-
eracy, rations became scarce. Parched
corn and sweet potatoes do very well
once in long while, but are objection
able when taken as steady diet. Nc
Nette noticed that Lieutenant Nowlin
frequently visited farm house,
the elegant country seat of Judge
Beach. He had often seen the
handsome Miss Beach, and he knew
that Nowlin was paying special atten-
tons TO her. One day McNette went
to Judge Beach's house and rang the
door bell. When a servant appeared,
McNette put his hat under his arm and
asked if he could see Miss Beach.
The servant crabbedly replied that he
would see. Presently Miss Beach APP
peared.

asked, as he humbly bowed to the
young lady.

Lieutenant Nowlin, who is very ILL.,
ordered me to come over and ask you
to send him a broiled chicken and any
thing else that you think he might
relish"
"Well sit down there" said the
young lady. She would not allow any
of the servants to prepare the meal.
She broiled the chicken herself and,
nicely arranging the spread" gave il
to McNette, who again bowed humbly.
He went down into the woods and
feasted. There was enough for three
