WORK OF THE MILLS.
Bread Being Turned Out by the
Great Mills,

The Northwestern Miller makes the
statement that the flour mills have i'm
proved on their output, raising their
figures to an equal with those of the
same time a year ago. The aggregate
production of the seventeen mills rum
ming was 123,2O0 Notwithstanding 2O,-
533 barrels daily-against SO, 100 barrels
the week before, and 1890 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1889, and 1871
200 barrels in 1888. All except four OF
the twenty-five mills in the city are now
running, and the Lincoln at AnOka
makes the number eighteen. They have
good power. and are under full head
way, producing not Tar from 81, 900 bar
rels per twentv-four hours. This makes
the output the heaviest since last fall.
Orders, however, are not coming In as
freely as millers would like. and some
of the mills are fast catching up with
those they had booked ahead. Under
these circumstances there is more
or less talk about the necessity
of curtailing the production again
soon, if business does not improve.
There has not been much life to the
ness possibly being more pronounced
since Saturday than before. Prices are
about the same. Bakers and low grades
are yet in very good demand for export:
Patents are usually reported slow OF
sale, and, rather than accumulate this
grade for the sake Of selling bakers,
mills are not taking so many orders for
the latter. Pillsbury reports considera-
BILE sales of patents in Eastern cities at
top prices, but the majority Of mills are
apparently less favored. The export
shipments were quite large last week.

In the first place, take Congo tea. COM
monty called English breakfast. Take
the best quality. Do not use Japanese
tea, for it is not drinkable to well-re-
gulated palate. Oolong is good, and
so is Young Hyson, for those whose
nerves can stand green tea; but Congo
has an especially agreeable flavor. iced.
Having got your tea, the next thing is

as an earthen. Put the tea in the bot
tom of the pot, and pour bOiling-hot
water upon it until it is nearly filled.
Then let it steep a minute or two, but
don't, don't let it boil. That is fatal
error. Boiling gives even to the best Of
tea disagreeable, herby taste.
AS soon as the sleeping is done with,
strain the liquor out of the earthen pot
into any convenient receptacle which
has tight lid and put it into the re-

Crime in Other Days, and Its At
tendant Penalty.
All the Year Round.
Under Henry l. coiners of false money
were punished by the loss of their right
hands, and other mutilations of various
kinds were in common use. In the
year 116O we hear of heretics who had
refused to adjure their faith being
handed over by the church to the civil
authorities to be branded with hot
iron on the forehead, have their clothes
torn off from the waist up, and be
whipped through the public streets.
Boycotting was at that time legal
practice, whatever it may be now, for
The said heretics were not only for
hidden to worship as they desired. but
forbidden to enter the houses of Ortho-
dOX believers, or even to purchase the
necessaries of life.
The popular notion of the Crusaders,
as an army of Bayards- peur ct
sans reproche"-is hardly consistent
with the code of criminal law which
Richard Cpur de Lion enacted for the
special behoof of those with whom he
set out for Holy Palestine. If any one
of them were convicted of theft, boiling
pitch was to be poured over his head,
and he was to be abandoned at the first
port the vessel touched. Whoever
killed another on board ship was ito be
tied to the corpse and cast into the sea;
whoever killed another on shore was to
be tied to the corpse and buried with it.
A blow was to be punished by three
duckings in the sea, and the use of a
knife in quarrel caused the aggressor
to lose one of his hands.
