Once in while have a call to go some.
where into the country and dress stone,
but it is very seldom.
"Most of the millstones iE use in this
country are, of French burr, a silicious
rock containing many small, rough cavi'
ties, and requiring less preparation than
perfectly plain stone. 1t squarrled in
the geological district known as the
paris basin." A quarry has been worked
for many years in the valley of the SaVan'
nah river, about 100 miles above the city
of Savannah, and the quality of the stone
secured is said to be almnst equal to those
produced in France. The lower stone
has generally smooth grinding surface.
The faces of both stones have to be cut
in straight grooves in direction inclined
.radii. The edges of the grooves are thus
given a cutting action sumewhat resem'
bling that of scissor blades, and a tendency
to force the grain outward toward the cir
cumferance in secured, thus acceerating
the feeding and avoiding choking. To
do this work perfectly il requires AL enor-
NOUS amount OF practice, and an appren
tice must serve for four or five years on
cheap stones before he isallowed to touch
the most valuable ones. Machines were
once invented to do the cutting, but they
were not a success. 1t was a hard busi.
ness to learn, and in its day was very
profitable. Modern innovations, however,
have no sympathy for workingmen, and
in ten years it is doubtful if there will be
q milestone in use in this country"

A Theft Extraordinary.

CHICAGO, January 23.-J. c. Talbert,
recently an employee of the Chicago
publiclibrary, was detected stealing bn"ks
from the library. Search of his premises
revealed about three thousand volumes
of stolen bnoks which were removed tn
the city hall.
To day The police authorities were
demoraIized by the discovery among the
buoks of several small boxes, which,
upon examination. proved to contain
explosives, and one contained an Internal
machine composed of some powder and
a pistol with q contrivance of dischurging
it. Another box contained quantity OF
dynamite.
The scheme of Talbert seems to have
been that whoever should attempt to re.
move The books from their hiding place
in order to prove his guilt, would set off
a small internal machine,- the explosion
of which would ignite the dynamite and
thus wipe out at ouce, perhaps himself,
certainly everybody within range, the
books and the buildings.

The New Process Flour.

A number of heavy white millstones
were piled up on one of the docks along
the river yesterday. They were consigned
To ,me interior town forty or Fifty miles
from the city. and were of style, make,
and finish so long in use. An old man,
with a sIouch bat pulled down so far over
his face that his small, blinking eyes
were almost hid from view, stood little
way back on the wharf and talked to a
Young man, whom he had asked for a
match. "Millstones have pretty nearly
gone out of date" said he, with half
mournful air. "and with them have gone

years. See here" and the old man
crowded his hat over the back part of his
head. and lifted his face for the 6rst time
into plain sight. 1t WAS pitted all over
with numberless ugly dimples, depres-
sions, and cuts, and looked as if he might
some day have had the small pox.
"Do you know how that was done? 2"
he said. The young man did not know.
"By picking millstones," was the quickly
volunteered information. "No one who
has ever followed the business of giving
those stones that keen cut texture that
enables them TO crush aud grind grain
can escape those cuts and scars Why,
my face is literally filled with the little
particles of steel and stone, and my eyes
have seasons of paining me terribly. But
the profession has run its race. In ten
years the dictionary makers will put the
stereotvped word Obsolete after the
noun 'millstone.' Modern inventions
have regulated the time'honored mill

been discovered for extracting -four from

no show"
The young man began 10 grow in

the doorway of little switch shan,y,
secured permission for the two to sit
down a moment before the fire, and
asked him to continue.
Nowadays" said the old man, "wheat

produced is much superior 10 the old
make. Then, too, the bran that was
thought to be almost worthless is now

We have visited all the schools east

.ers are doing a good work. Many ofthe
houses are in bad condition. Necessary
ventilation is indispensable, but it is un-
reasonable to expect child to study, or
q teacher, 10 do good work, when he is
ahiyering with cold. At Calhoun, Mr..
Bagwell has alarge school, and is an ear.
nest worker; but his patrons need not
expect him to be very successful so long
as>they force him to occupy the house he
is nov trying to teach in. The fact that
Senator Joe Brown and The late Judge

struction in that building does not justify
the presumption that it is good enough
