For ages various cereals used in bread
making were ground with very uncouth
cOntrivances hardly deserving the name
of mill, as we understand it. They con-
sisted of two portable circular stones,
the upper being the smaller and turned
upon the lower and concave one by
means Of an iron or wooden handle, the
grain being placed between them. These
stones were usually obtained from a
quarry in the vicinity Of Babylon, from
which sufficient were taken to supply
all the eastern countries.
The grinding was usually performed
by two females, who sat opposite each
other with the millstones placed between
them, the upper stone being kept in mo
ton by the hands Of the operators. Very
often this tedious work was assigned to
prisoners, who considered it a most de-
grading. task. This fact is recorded in
Holy Writ, in width we are told that
Samson did grind i'll the prison house
Of the Philistines," and Jeremiah be-
walls the fact that the B~abylonians
took our young men to rind."-De-
trOit Free Press.

A Hon Picker,

The record of the fertility Of American
ingenuity has been increased by the ad-
dition of the invention of a machine for
picking hops. 1t is claimed this ma
chine will do the work as clean and
much more rapidly than it can be done
by hand. The apparatus is mounted on
a wooden frame, heavy enough to insure
stability, and is about 7 feet long by 5
feet wide and 4 feet high.
The branches Of the hop bine are fed
into a receiver and are seized between
two rollers and gradually pulled through.
The hops fall into an inclined screen,
and by their own weight fall into the
box prepared to receive them. The
leaves and bines fall On the same screen,
but are carried back by the returning
motion and thrown into separate pile.
It requires only n man to $lrn the
wheel and another to feed bines into the
rollers. -Boston Transcript.

Minneapolis Larger Than Paris.


The existing Paris covers 1925 acres,
or about thirty square miles, while met
ropOlitan London, with 1000, 900 popula-
ton, contains 118 square miles, and Chi
cagO provides an area about as extensive
for /, 100, 900. The average distance from
the center Of Paris to the circumference
is only three miles. Minneapolis, with
only 165 900 people, has a municipal area
more than twice as large as that Of Paris.
Almost the entire population of Paris is
housed in the flats of tenement struc-
lures averaging from fourto five stories
in height.
According to the revised figures of the
census of 1886 there were nearly -, 900
houses in Paris, and the average number
of people in a house was about thirty.
In the old ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the inner
Paris there are probably about 80, 900
houses, accommodating about 1000, 900
people.
For a total contrast in the plan of
house construction we have only to cross
the channel and to examine London,
where we find all average of about eight
persons to a house for the whole metrop-
oils. But the people Of Paris are better
housed, all things considered, than those
Of London. A population of $500, 600
within a circle whose radius is only three
miles is certainly very dense, but it must
be remembered hat Paris is a many
stored city.-Dr. Albert Shaw in Cen

SiChS on HriG~ps.

The front stoop offers facilities for
courtship, and among the young people
of Brooklyn the front stoop is a popular
summer institution. The Brooklyn bridge
is a bridge of signs. 1T the high bridges
over the Central tracks in upper New
York, however, that are most ardently
worked for this purpose.
An evening stroll that takes the OBJ
server over one Of these bridges will show
dozens of couples leaning against the
rails and apparently investigating the
myriad tracks and colored signal lights
and passing trains belaw. A manly arm
will be withdrawn from a slender waist
as you pass, to be stealthily slipped back
again within the moment. The skirmish
of hearts is going on there while you are
asleep or at the theater. 1t is the engage
mert ground of the poor and lowly who
live in tenements and have no front gate
and no doorsteps. For them the bridge
on these warm nights is a dish of ice
cream with two spoons init.-New York

Contribution to Science.

Arabia's Contribution to Science.
Rome boosted thai she dispensed with
native physicians for the first GOO years
OF her existence. Whether this was the
result Of her unusual vigor is not re-
corded. In the days of her prosperity
and success she developed considerable
ability in the medical line and gave to
the world the distinguished physician
Galenus. For some time after the fall
of Rome the treatment Of disease was
chiefly in the hands of monks. In con-
nectlon with the monastery there were
frequently the well managed hospital
and garden filed with plants noted for
their healing virtues.
The Arabs of the Middle Ages were
devoted students Of science and particu-
larry of medicine. When they came in
contact with Christend0m they made
two important contributions. They gave
to the church the writings Of Aristotle,
which, in the hands of st. Thomas Aqui-
mas, saved the church from a crude ma
terialism.
They gave to the medical world the
wealth of heir scientific researches, es-
pecially in the line Of chemistry, and
substituted nilder remedies in place of
the terrible hellebore and other drugs of
Hippocrates. Averrors and Avicenna
were the leading Arabian scientists, and
Dante has given them a place in that
honorable circle of the Inferno" which
contains the leading physicians of hea-
then imes.-Chicago Herald.

a Mine in Ancient Greece.

At Laurium are found 1900 ancient
shafts, with their connected galleries.
These shafts average about two meters
square (the round shaft is almost I'M
known) and are sunk from 20 to 100 me-
ters in depth, but never below sea level.
The galleries open into ancient chambers,
sometimes 30 feet high and $50 feet wide.
According to M. Cordella's estimate the
ancients extracted from these mines a
mass of mineral amounting to 105, 000, 900
cubic meters and yielding 2,10O,084 tons
of lead and 8,400 tons of silver, or a value
of 4, III, 378, 900 drachmas.
The work employed steadily about TO-
GOO laborers-3,000 in the mines them
selves-almost exclusively slaves. The
earthern lamps, water jugs and picks
found in our day in some Of the low, tor
tuous passages through which a man
must work his way on hands and knees
have a pathos of their own. Slaves were
cheap and the labor problem easy at first.
PrOprietors worked their own slaves or
hired other peoples at an obol per day
say 50 drachmas q year "a saddle horse
in Athens now brings 900 drachmas per
month)-and the price of slaves ranged
from As drachmas upward, according to
quality.-Engineering Record.

How to Get Ink Out of Clothes.

Nearly every ~housekeeper has many
garments spotted with ink. Here is a
good way to get the ink out. Ink spots
may be removed from linen with tart2ric
acid while wet. To remove ink from
cotton, silk or wooden goods, saturate the
spot with spirits of turpentine and let it
remain several hours; then rub between
the hands. 1t will crumble away with
out injuring the color or texture of the

THE OLD THING.

The Sacramento News has the
following:
Assemblyman 4. J. Bledsoes
letter published 10 today's Nems
has minor key f sadness in it,
indicating q tinge Of bitterness
born Of unexpected and unpleas-
ant experience. During the last
legislature Mr.. Bledsoe stood vir-
tually for what he thought was
right, disdaining all opportunities
to join the boodlers. Today he
sees those criminals luyuriating in
prosperity, they having received
their share of the plumber, while
he eats the bread of poverty, strug-
CLING desperately to establish him
self as an attorney at-law in the
metropolis or the coast, and eking
out livelihood by writing news
paper letters in the time that he
can spare from the bedside of
members OF his family stricken
with illness.
The Neus only points out a long
standing condition Of things. 1t
was always thus with public serv-
ants. The men who serve the
people are always repudiaued by
the people they serve.
Bledsoe was one of the few hon
est men in the last legislature Of
California, bat he will never get
there again.
The people never reward honest
public men. The rascals are the
ones who get the full vote of the
masses.
A man may be a known petty
larceny thief, and yet he can be
elected to the legislature by a
good majority.
Under these circumstances the
public ought not 70 kick when Il
large assemblage Of thieves make

HAS 1T COME TO THIS?

How frequently do we hear the

"Can't say, guess no will ask for
the nomination, and if he don't
get it he's all right anyhow, for he
has nice little ranch in Califor-
MIA, and if he don't get the nomi-
nation he'll go down there and
live"
If the man in question gets the
nomination he hangs onto the pub
lie teat a couple Of years more
and sends his salary regularly to
California to improve his farm, so
that when he finally has to let go
he packs his little grip sack and
lights out.
1t seems to be one of the quail
tlcations OF office holding that a
man must begin to improve Cali
fornia land before the public will
pick him up and elect him to any
thing.
Now, what will all this end in?
Ii the defeated candidates for

down while holding office and slide
