The roller process is now used in the
enormous Western mills, the largest in
the world. 1t has apparently come to
stay in the case of all milling on large
scale; while in small places and in
mountain villages the millstones viii
remain.
The rollers have also displaced a
curious process of conversion known as
the ''cold-blast process" This con-
sisted in charging an immense air-gun.
or cylinder, with several bushels at a
time of wheat from which the outer
inert cOatingS of bran and other impuri-
tes had been removed. and then firing
the charge. by air pressure. at high
velocity against corrugated iron plate.
This crushed the grain and produced
an excellent whole wheat flour. to which
the name "cold-blaSt flour" is still
given, though the flour itself is now
produced by the other processes Titus

A Singular Custom in the Down Eas
State-Queer Colors.


State-Queer Colors-
While riding with friend through .
town in Lincoln County moi long ago.
we came upon small shop curiously
decorated with waves of paint of
different colors. The front looked as
though the occupant of the shop, when
ever he wished TO test a newly mixed
color, dipped his brush into it and then
wiped the brush on the outside of the
building. In this way or some other he
had produced rude rainbow. the hues
| dissolving into each other where one
brushful of paint encroached upon the
margin of its predecessor.
That is an undertaker's shop" said
my friend, land those are the colors in
which he paints his coifins. He splashes
those samples on the outside of the
building in order that he may see how
they look himself, and also that the
friends of the departed may pick out
the color they want"
What"
"Yes. Nearly all the people in this
town who have died during the past ten
years have been buried in colored
coffins. Light blue is the favorite tint
here for children, and orange the pre-
vailing shade for old people. You see
this is one of the most retired villages in
the State and he is the only undertaken
anywhere near here. The people have
got used to his notions, and now they
rather like the painted collins. One old
fellow got disgusted and took a solemn
oath thaf fhi- arf l-a,- chA,,lI
make a coffin for him. So he drove to
Augusta, while he was vet in the land of
the living, and had himself measured
for nice coffin. The coffin was made
and he carried it home. He tried his
best to induce his wife to have her coffin
made, too. She said it was ridiculous
the idea of having your coffin made
before you were dead! and plumply re-
fused to be measured. This made the
old man so mad that he threatened to
sue for divorce. and he and the old
lady had many jar after that. although
they had previously lived in peace and
content.
The old man put his coffin in the
barn and used it to keep his yellow eyed
beans in. In the course of time he died
and was prepared for the grave The
yellow-eyed beans were turned out of
the coffin. and an attempt was made to
put the old gentleman into it. They
found that his body had swollen so much
that 1t could not be squeezed into the
coffin. They had to patronize that un-
dertaker, in spite of the enmity existing
between him and the late lamented.
They tried to get him to swap one of
his collins for the old gen1leman's Au-
gusta purchase, but this the undertaken
positively refused to do. and ins sted
upon being paid cash down for the
collin

A Happy-Go-Lucky Yankee Farmer.

We ran across an old New Hampshire
farmer last week in one of our rambles
who has lived sixty-five years on the
farm he was born. He guessed" he
had about five hundred acres Of land,
large share of which is mountain pas
ture. A small brick cottage and two
barns were on the place. and he
wintered last year twenty-siX head Of
cattle. He sells milk to the Writings,
at present furnishing five cans a day.
But he could not say exactly how many
cows he has, how many be is milking.
or just how much he is getting for
milk. Nor could he say. more than
approximately. how much land he has.
how much hay he cuts. or how much it
costs him to make his milk He did
not believe he was getting what it cost
him the year through, but just at this
time. when paSturage is at its height,
and he feeds no grain, he thought he
was making something. He said he
thought the whole place was worth
5000. He had raised family of ten
bows and girls, all of whom are still
living. and he had twice served in the
general court, and always voted the
Democratic ticket Ii was fair Illus
tration of the happy-go-lucky Yankee
farmer, who seldom has any system or
INDUCES in any plans, and possesses
only such an indefinite idea of his buSi-
ness as wofd ruin a manufacturer or q

Life Among the savages of the Island
| An Interesting Account.
The Init in which l found myself, and
it was fair sample of the rest, was OF
the rudest possible description. The
doorway was so small that it was a task
to get in; the walls were composed Of
| the branches of trees stuck into the
ground little apart, the interstices
being filled with bits Of chopped wood;
the roof was thatched with grass. Three
sides were occupied bv raised bamboo
sleeping platforms, some fifteen inches
above the ground; there were no win
dOwS. At one side was a slight de-
preston in the ground. which served as
fireplace, logs of trees being laid over
it, end to end, and constantly pushed
farther in as they gradually consumed
away. All the village crowded in
women, young girls and children of all
sizes; but the male savages. with the
exception of those referred to, were all
absent on hunting expedition. having
been gone several days. From the roof
were suspended various requisites of the
chase-bOwS. arrows and deer skins
besides Sundry articles of domestic use.
all OF the rudest kind. Having had some
thing to eat, l strolled out amongst the
other hutS. and everywhere was well
received. What particularly struck
me was the fearleSsnesS of the
women and girls and the frankness
of the children, who were most interest
ing They came close up to me, ex-

eyes, pulled my whiskers, and were
never tired of looking at my watch.
They are bright, and | should say in
telligent, and incOmparably more inter-
esting than Chinese children-so sim
pie, natural and unsophisticated. All
smoke. from the youngest to the oldest
of both sexes, and it was truly ludicrous
to see tiny mites of certainly not three
summers stark naked-with pipes in
their mouths. The women and girls
carry their pipes of bamboo stuck in
their hair. somewhat in the style of the
iang-pat' on head dress of the Peking-
ese ladies, and keep the tobacco bags
hung round their necks. They at once
offered me a smoke. Some of them
were playing upon a curious kind of
Jew harp, made out OF a slip of bam-
boo with threads at each end, whilst
one girl, OF about sixteen, danced.
The dance was neither fandan-
go nor bOlero, nor yet Il minuet, but
bore some resemblance to all three; it
was so intensely grotesgue that
laughed uncOntrOllaby. No sooner had
she finished than the girls came up to
me, and offering me jews harp, made
signs to me to dance. The harp alone
was a sufficient mystery to me, but
when the minuet was added the tableau
was complete; the audience threw them
selves down and screamed with laugh
ing. From this performance 1 passed
to a scene of somewhat different char
acter-a few yards along a path, a step
to one side, and stood before a scaflold
of camphOr branches on which rpposed

High English Authority.
Englishmen to their own women are
both helpful and protecting, if a little
more masterful than some of those
women like; generous and giving. if al
ways more than little Overbearing to
all creatures that are weaker than them
selves. When the ladies of party are
their private friends, or belong to their
own special family, they may rely on
being treated with consideration and
protected against the consequences of
their own comparative weakness. When
they are strangers. and without private
claims, they will find the tables for the
most part turned, and. in the manners
of the modern young man will be as
much consideration as there is likeness
between a bear and poodle-a crab
apple and a Newton pippin, They are
no more unselfiSh than the ordinary
foreigner, and they are not so polite.
And if you have Your ears boxed. Won
might Us well have it done pleasantly
as brutally. To illustrate this selfish
ness:
The other day a young and very
pretty woman, with eyes of the kind
supposed to be able to melt the typical
ice, was on the point Of stepping into
an omnibus where only one seat was
left. A well-dressed. uell-got-up man
of about thirty pushed her rudely aside
as he sprang UP the steps and took the
vacant place. At another time, on,
coming cut of the theAter, while the
people were waiting inst inside the
door for their carriages and cabs,
man lighted a cigar and blew the s,noke
into the face OF lady standing A,ere
witk q friend She made a gesture of
repugnance, when the man said. Gen
tlemen NAV smoke here" '.Yca, may

tleman if you do" said the lads-one

Ihe annOyanceS to which Young
Eomen travelling alone are often sub

an ordinary young Englishman who does
not know her, she meets sorse one who,

and who does not 90 out cs his way TO
show her any. If she be pretty he
stares at her, perhaps smiles, perhaps
speaks; if she be of mo- personal at
tractiveness. and has only her woman
hood As her claim, he leayes her emphat-
fcally to herself. Whatever she NAV be
about to dO-tO pass through a door

omnibus, or lift, he pushes past her,
though no one is hurried for time, and
lets her follow meekly after. The elder
men are more courteous They retain
still certain flavor of the stately old
times when manners were part of a
gentleman's education. and politeness
was one of the points of distinction be-
tween a courtier and a boor.-Londos
