An Early Mill.

The want of mills is everywhere a
great deprivation in a new country;
varied have been the devices for over
coming 1t. A substitute for a mill was
used in the early settling Of western
New York and probably to some extent
in Ohio. 1t consists Of a stump followed
out by fire as a mortar, with a log at
tached to the end of a young sapIing
bent over to act as a pestle. The process
was slow and tedious, it being II days
work to convert a bushel of corn into
samp.
The early settlers in western New
York when they owned {. few slaves,
which some of them did, employed them
in this drudgery, hence the process was
vulgarly termed lingering corn" Peo-
pie Of humanity in our time would not
pc guilty Of using such an expression as
this. No one thing shows tho general
moral advance Of the American people
more strongly than their treatment of
and increased consideration for the
humber classes among them. -Uowe's

Brilliant Flesh Tiuts.

He had conceived an idea for n grea,
classical picture, and he hired a stalwart
gentleman of toll to pose for the muscu-
lar figure required for the center Of the
picture. He painted for days and days,
and he thought whenever he had his
model before him that he had never seen
such rich flesh tints before. And he
studied those flesh tints and worked till
he had got them perfect. Then he called
his brother artists in and showed them
the picture.
"Those flesh tints don't seem quite
right. Where did you get themY'
"They rich, aren't they? But they're
from nature. They're from my model"
"Well, they don't look quite natural"
The last touches had to be given and
the model had come to pose for the last
time. When he stripped his torso and
took his position the painter stared
aghast. The brilliant flesh tints had
vanished and he was n plain, ordinary
flesh colored individual.
"IIow's this? What's tho matter with
your"
"What?"
You've changed your skin. 1t used
to be redder than that"
ooh, that was from the red undershirt
l used to wear, and | had a bath this

THE Fooled ELM.

The bold young Autumn anne riding along
One day where TN elm tree grew.
You are fair, he said, ~ she bends her head
Too fair for your robes duh hue;
You are far too young FOR a gar5 30 old;
Your beauty needs color and sheen.
Oh, | would clothe you in scarlet and gold.
Betting thy grace Of & queen.
For one little kiss on your lips. sweet Elm
For just one kiss-no more
| VIII give you, ! swear, a robe more fair
Than ever n princess wore.
One little kiss on those lips, my PET,
And 10! you shall stand, | say,
Queen OF the forest, and. better yet,
Queen Of my heart Away"
She tossed her head, but-he took the kiss
CTS the way Of lovers bold);
And a gorgeous dress for that sweet caress
He gave ere the morn was old.
For u week and n day she ruled a queen
In beauty and splendid attire;
For a week and a day she was loved, I woen.
With a love that is born OF DESIRE
Then bold eyed Autumn went on his way
In quest OF a tree more fair;
And mob winds tattered her garments and scat
tered
Her fnery here and there.
Poor and faded and ragged and colo
She rocked and moaned In distress,
And longed for the dull green gown she had sold
For a lovers tickle caress.
And the days went by and the winter came,
And his tyrannous tempests beat
On the shivering tree whose robes Of shame
He had trampled under his feet.
/ saw her reach 70 the knocking skies
Her poor arms bare and thin,
All, well-a~day, IL Is ever the way
With a woman who trades with sin

Mosquitoes.

The bill of a mosquito is n complex in
stitution. 1t has blunt fork at the head,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the angle of the fork, is q lance Of per
feet form sharpened with a fine bevel.
Beside it the most perfect lance looks
like a hand saw. On either side of the
lance two saws are arranged, with the
points fine and sharp and the teeth well
refined and keen. The backs of these
saws play against the lance. When the
mosquito alights with his peculiar hum,
it thrusts its keen lance, and then en-
larges the aperture with the two saws,
which play beside the lance until the
forked bill with its capillary arrange.

The saving process is what CRATES upor
the nerves of the victim and causes him
to strike wildly at the sawyer.-Hall't

. Whence Come the Flies?

From where do all the flies come? The
question is often asked, and seldom re
ceives as satisfactory an answer as has
been given by a contemporary: The com
mon fly lays more than 100 eggs, and
the time from egg laying to maturity is
only about two weeks. Most of us have
studied geometrical progression. Here
we see it illustrated. Suppose one fly
commences ito multiply and replenish
the earth" about June /. June Is, If all
lived, would give $50. Suppose seventy
five Of these are females, July l would
give us, supposing no cruel wasp n other
untoward circumstance 70 interfere, H.
$50 flies. Suppose $685. Of these are fe-
males, we might have July Is, S43,-
720 flies. For fear of bad dreams | will
not calculate what might be by Sept. Is.

1t is not generally known that the
term lynch law" originated in Camp
bell county, Va, before the revolution
DRY war. At hat period ,he country
was thinly settled and was infested with
Tories and Disqualification many of
them, apparently, for the local author
tiles to adequately punish. Col. Charles
Lynch, a distinguished officer Of the
revolutionary army, undertook TO rid
his country of the outlaws. He organ
iIed . force, arrested the outlaws, and
having satisfied himself and comrades Of
the guilt of the accused, executed them
without reference TO the constituted au-
thorities. While not altogether approx
ing of the desperate remedy for a des-
perate cause, the beneficial effect Of Col.
Lynch's action was recognized, and has
since been known as "Lynch's law" or
Lynch law"
Lynch's process of melting out speedy
justice extended to other parts of the
country, and is a well recognized form
of redress of grievances today, particu-
larly for that class Of offenses that are
popularity believed not to be adequately
punished by the statutes and courts Of
the state. Col. Lynch's brother gave his
name to Lynchburg, and left n son who
was subsequently governor of Louisiana

How They Were Made.

Among EXPLANATIONS in common use
"Halloo!" and "Hurrah!" have curious
origins attributed to them. 1t Is said by
the author of the Queens English" that
the people Of Carnwood forest, Leices-
tershire, when they desire to hail a per,
SOL at a distance call out not 'halloo!'
but "halloup" This he imagines is q
survival Of the times when one cried to
another: "a loup! a loup!" or as we
would now say; "Wolf! wolff" ''Hur-
rah!" again, according to NJ. Littre, is
derived from the Slavonic huraj, "to
Paradise" which signifies that all SOL
diers who fell fighting ~valiantly went
straight to heaven. "Prithee" is obvi-
ously a corruption Of II pray thee;"
whilo "marry" was originally a method
Of swearing by the Virgin Mary.-All

Foods for the Nervous.

Many brain workers and others of
highly nervous temperaments are trou-
bled with insomnia, nervous twitchings
and starting from sleepand sensations Of
falling. These symptoms indicate weak
nerves. The victim can very often indeed
cure himself by dietetic means alone.
The best diet is milk, and for a time it
would be wise for him to limit himself
to that. The quantity required by an
adult to support him well is one pint at
a meal, and four meals should be taken
daily. The milk used should be up to
the standard; if 1t is not, cream should
be added to it. People with weak nerves,
as a rule, drink but very little water,
whereas they usually require a larger
quantity than those whose nerves are
strong and not easily shaken .-Boston
Herald.
