choice, did her surroundings and chances

tourneying with her husband towards her
old home in Cleveland, Ohio, with all that
human desire needs for its satisfaction.
She was just then getting a glimpse of the
broader life ahead of her that was at the
moment reckoning her to its enjoyments

The EAnl.ting MILLS.

THE DEMOCRAT takes special interest
in the Development of the Knitting Mills,
having ad4oCated such manufacture long
before it was established.
Dropping in Saturday we found mana
ger Mcdowell and superintendent Holl-
iDeswor;h IN to their elbows IN work.
There are now about 20 'eratises in the
mill most of them being young girls.
Every body was busy and every one seem
ed to understand her business very well.
The mills have only been IN operation a
bout five moths, and the operatives have
developed into a wonderful proficiency
for that time.
New girls are coming evory week and
width additional machinery the mills
will employ many more operatives
The capacity of the mills now Is about
I25 dozon PAIR Of stockings day.
The travelling salesman has been on
the road since Jan. 1st, and has sent 1T
orders for four thousand dozen.

What CorunNun Is.

Corundum, as the reader probably
knows, is the oxide Of aluminium, the
crude form OF the sapphire, and on &C
count of its hard surface is used to grind
metallic surfaces, particularly tools. 1t
differs from emery in a greater freedom
from oxide OF iron, the latter containing
about IS per cent. of this impurity,
while corundun contains a much smaller
proportion. The larger part Of the corun-

Tho unrirht Pine Tree.

Let us take the nearest spruce or pine
tree as an illustration. The central shoot,
which finally becomes the trunk, rises ex-
actly perpendicular to the earth's center,
not deviating hairs breadth from this ex-
act line. So ii continues to the end, though
it may go on at foot year for 200 or 800
years. Our teachers taught that this arose
from the equal pressure of the atmosphere.
The growing point had to 90 on in the
easiest direction, It was said, and this WINS
upward under this lateral pressure on all
sides.
But as the students grew thet saw that
the same Norway spruce that sent its lead
ing shoot exactly perpendicular sent oct
its side branches at al angle Of Is dogs,
and that every series Of branches, one
above another, kept this angle. and conse-
quently the same relative distance from
each other.
Why were they not pushed mp 20 "a 20
assume the perpendicular by the circum-
ambient eirl Again the branches Of the
white pine and many frs proceed at a
right angle with the main stem, preserving
this horizontal direction through life
Why should the leading shoot 90 50 ex-
actly perpendicular, while the lateral
branches go out at various angles, but
