ALL ABOUT MUSTARD.


How the Seed is Made to Furnish Oil and
TIour-The Different Varieties.
"Where does mustard come fromm replied
n wholesale spice dealer to reporters in
ouiry. Most everywhere. 1t is of two va
rieties. One is white and the other is black.
The first is called English, and the other
masquerades under n score of other titles.
The English is full of flour, lacks pungency
and is seldom used alone. The other kind
contains a large amount of oil, said to aver
age 25 to 30 per cent. The best variety
comes from Italy and is known as Toieste.
There are many varieties of this kind grown
in California, of every shade of quality;
also in other states That known as Ken
lucky is very pungent."

most of it is not worth handling"
GLOW is it preparedP'
Usually by COMPRISING the seed to ex-
tract the oil, because the seed is much more
easily worked when the oil is out, and be-
cause there is now ready market for the
oil as salad oil, it being in many respects
equal to the best olive oil To extract the oil
requires very powerful hydraulic pressure,
and suitable press would cost from 81 800
to~S2 600. Large dealers in the principal
cities operate in the seed or crude stock and
press it and supply the trade with what is
known as mustard cake, formed by the pro-
cess of extracting The oil, and which contains
everything EXCEPT the oil-the same precisely
as lnseed cake. After this the pressed seed
is separated from the bran to extract the
flour. Pure mustard cannot be ground in
mills and unless it is very much adulterated
it cannot be ground at all, on account of the
oil retained in the cake. The usual process,
therefore, is to take say 100 pounds and put a
quantity of the broken cake in a pot or NOR
tar and pound and sift it so as to extract
about 50 per cent. The machinery used for
pounding the mustard is a simple contriv-
ance, called sometimes a stamp mill, being
battery Of FOUNDERS ranging in number from
two up to sixteen. The process is slow, but
very simple. After passing through the
Founders the mustard cake-now reduced to
the consistency of soft middings, is trans
ferred to Il series of sleeves, the fine falling
into a receptacle below. This bolted -four of
mustard is strictly pure, and is as pure as it
is possible to make it from the stock you
have used, whether it is good or bad."-New

The Burlington Hdtokeye remarks with
much wisdom and truthfulness, that no
one denies that newspaper is private
enterprise: 1.-THE business venture of
men who hope 10 realize something from
it, just as a grocer, or a dry goods mer-
hopes to save D. few pennies for rainy
day from the profits of his business; but
when it comes to the matter Of booming
town, the newspaper is expected to do
dead loads of talking and take its pay in
compliments-not cash. The newspa.
per is no more dependent upon the mercy
or charity of the public than the men
named or any one else, Like them, ii
pays for all it gets, and hopes by selling
its stock in trade to make profit. Like
them, 1t has goods that the people want
and must have. Like them, if it is hons
est and gives value received and conducts
itself decently. it succeeds, under normal
conditions. and like them, if il
keeps poor stock or charges
too much money and offends
its patrons in unnecessary and unwar
rantable ways. it fails. 1t is no more
benefited by boom than they are, but,
with marvelously few exceptions, it alone
is asked to put its hand down into its
jeans every day in the week and whoop
things up for everybody, while none of
its business compeers are called upon or
expected to make donations. The way
to boom a town is for every man in it
who can be benefited by such a state of
affairs to do something toward public
display, TO exert himself to advertise it,

1t is an erroneous impression that is in
vogue in certain quarters that the Romans
were dancers or encouraged dancing. That
was one feature of the Grecian civilization
that the Romans did not adopt. In fact,
dancing was always in disrepute among the
Romans, who were too practical people to
indulge in such fantastic recreation A Ro-
man historian refers to this fact in connec-
ton with the trial of Claudius, who was
charged with having fraudulently got him
self elected to the tribune. 1t was also
charged as a further allegation of Claudius'
bad character aud unworthiness that he had
been guilty of dancing. This charge, how
ever, is refuted by Clandius counsel in an
address to the tribune who stated that his
client had too much sense to be guilty of such
foolishness as hopping around on one foot
and then on another.--Father John N. Po-

The Germans have invented horseshoes for
bad roads This is how they do it. The
blacksmith, when finishing a horses shoe,
punches hole in the two ends. When the
shoe is cold he taps in a screw thread and
screws into the shoe, when on the horses foot,
a sharp pointed stud of an inch in length.
With shoes thus fitted the horse travels Sc
curely over the worst possible roads. When
the horse comes to the stable the groom I'M

several chances of hearing it play during his

his curiosity was aroused. He sought and

And behold the stars IN all their wido
Significance and glol+ous mystery,
Assured that those more distant orbs are suns
Round which innumerable worlds revolye,-
My faith grows strong, my day born doubts dis

And death, that dread annulment which life shuns,
Or fain would shun, becomes TO life the way,
The thoroughfare to greater worlds on high,
The bridge from star to star, Seek how we may,
There Is no other road across the sky;
And looking up, hear star voices say:

The preservation of forests from the depre-
dations of insects and aphides is largely de-
pendent upon the spiders that inhabit them,
more effective work of this kind being per-
formed by them than by the insect-eating
birds. Examinations of the viscera of the
spiders kept in captivity show them to be vo-
racious destroyers Of these creaturers, and as
they prefer dark spots in the forests, which
