New Shore Railroad.

There have been rumors for several
weeks past that the Grand Trunk peo-
pie have bought, or were about to buy,
the Cincinnati, Saginaw & Mackinaw
railroad, but nothing has been known
for certainty, outside of official circles
until now and the Press presents its
readers with full program of the
work that will be done by the Grand
Trunk people in the Saginaw valley.
One of the first moves which will
be undertaken will be the relaying Of
the track, putting in all steel rails
and preparing it for the very fastest
train service in the country. A fast
train will be put on between the Bay
Cities and Detroit which will make
the run in three hours. A sleeping
car service will be put on between
here and Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo.
The trains leaving West Bay City
will connect at Durand with fast
trains for Chicago, Detroit, Toledo,
Grand Haven and all other points.
West Bay City line will probably be
made a part of the Detroit, Grand
Haven and Milwaukee system, and
West Bay City will be the head
quarters of the division. The Grand
Trunk will replace large amount OF
the force now operating the Cincinnati,
Saginaw and Mackinaw with men Of
their own system, and in every way
strive to make this first class road.
Among other things a ticket Office
will be established in Bay City and
every effort made TO secure passenger
traffic. 1t is part of the program to
complete the line through to the
northern peninsula, probably by way
IF Alpena, and West Bay City will
undoubtedly get the car shops for
this section Of the road. The Grand
Trunk has wanted to get foothold
in the Saginaw valley for several
years. but has had no good opportu nj

How Brooms are Made.

Doubtless you have noticed the
fassel on an ordinary corn stalk.
What the tassel is to the edible corn
is found in the wisp that grows from
the top of the broom corn, which bears
no ears at all. There are two kinds
Of broom corn, roughly speaking
the coarse sort for ordinary sweeping
and the fine dwarf sort for "parlor
brooms" and whisks. The fine stuff
is plucked by hand, while the coarse
variety is cut with knife. To begin
with, the wisp tassels cut from the
corn. tops must be assorted rs to
length. This process is performed by
an expert who takes the wisps from
the bale and distributes them among
a series of compartments. The broom
wisps thus assorted go into the hands
of man who holds the broomstick in
a revolving wise with Its end project
ing-the end, that is TO say, which is
to be the broom. This operator first
passes a fine wire through the hole in
the end of the broomstick and by the
aid Of treadle makes the length of
wood revolve until it has taken up
three or four bindings of the wire
from a great coil below. Then he
grasps a number of wisps of long

stemmed broom corn, to serve for
what is known technically as "handle
stuff" fastening them To the stick high
up with windings of the wire. All
the time the wire is wrapping the
straw upon the stick it is made to
bind more tightly by blows from
the hammer. Next is bound around
the embryo broom what is called the
shoulder stuff" with shorter stems.
which, as was the case with the handle
stuff, is trimmed of close above the
wire binding with a sharp knife.
Stalks yet shorter, from which the
stems have been cut off entirely, are
finally wound upon the outside with
more wire, and the whole business is
clinched and fastened where the
broom meets the stick with strong
belt of timed brass, its corrugated
edge bound down with the wire so
that the straw is made as much part
of the broom handle as if it grew upon
it. Now the broom goes to the sewer.
who passes flaxen Irvine around its
middle, and pierces the substance of
the broom through and through with
needle provided with similar Aaxen
cord. so as to bind the straw together
closely. Now it only remains to chop
the straw ends of the brooms off even
with q sort of cleaver knife, and to
comb the seeds out of them with a
revolving machine armed with teeth,
in order to make them ready for
market. Broom corn that is slightly
green is much better for the purpose
than the ripe material, because the
latter is brittle, and, on this account,
to deceive purchasers, it used to be
the custom for manufacturers to tint
their material green with the fumes
Of birthstone. At present the same
effect is more cheaply obtained by
soaking the stuff in colored mixture

north. He at once pulled out his
watch, looked at it, and pointed to
the north. asked him whether he
had compass attached to his watch.
All Watches he replied are compass
es.' Then he explained to me how
this was. Point the hour hand to the
sun, and the south is exactly half way
between the hour and the figure XII,
on the watch. For instance, suppose
that it is o'clock. Point the hand
indicating A to the sun, and II on the
watch is exactly south. Suppose that
that it is 8 o'clock, point the hand in
dcating 8 to the sun, and the figure
X on the watch is due south. My
American friend was quite surprised
that | did not know this. Thinking
that very possibly l was ignorant of a
thing that every one else knew, and
happening to meet Mr.. Stanley, l ask
ed that eminent traveller whether he
was aware of this simple mode of dis
covering the points of the compass
He said that he had never heard of it.
l presume therefore, that the world is
in the same state ofignorance. Amalf
is proud of having been the home of
the inventor of the compass. l do
not know what town boasts of my
American friend as citizen"
