rons that they will this hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the crop
is fully cured New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many mlers
of the opinion that it is already cured and in proper
condition for milling. WashburnCr Crosby Co. will take
risks, and will allow the wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail OF milling has
placed WashburnCrosby Co.'S flour far above other

In studying the service Of the an

ceremony which invested the meals OF
our f0rcfathers Is one Of the first
things which strikes us-a peculiari-

d for when we iecolect that, during

the feudal baron and his retainers
were accustomed TO eat together In

quette, says the Quarterly Review.
The ancient fashion of arranging
the tables for meal is still preserved
In college halls, where the high ta-
ble' stands transyersely on q raised
platform at the upper end OF the
room. 1t was the further sideof this
table Of dais' which at a feudal
feast was alone occupied, the master
Of the house and his chief guests
thus emphatically dining In public be.
fore his vassals. Everything pertain.
Ing to the service Of this table was
conducted with a ritual of almost &C.
clesiastical minuteness. At a time
when, from the crown vassal' to the
petty baron, a mans safety and con.
sequence depended on the number OF
followers he could muster, the greater
part of the revenue of an estate was
spent in the support of retalners and
hangers-on, and, There being thus no
lack Of service, the various duties Of
a household were much subdivided.
The modern term, "butler's pan
try marks the coalescence of two
Offices formerly distinct, when the
butler or "boteler" presided over the
buttery, or "botelerie," and the "pan-
ter" or "pantler," over tho pantry OF
bread closet The duties Of carver
and cupbearer were held to be very
honorable ones, and could be dis
charged by men of high rank. and in
great establishments the butler, tho
panther, the porter, and the officers
Of all the several household depart
ments had each his own contingent
Of grooms and women.

1t almost seems, from the way in
which scientific men arc in the habit
Of concealing their meanings from
those who do not understand technical
terms, that they were anxious to keep
the wonders of science to themselves.
During the reign of Emperor Napo-
Icon, Cuvier, the scientist, went to st.
Cloud to visit him.
The Emperor said: IN Cuyier, I
am very glad to see You. What did
you do at the institute last week."
"Wo studied the beet sugar ques-
ton.
"Ahl And what is the opinion of
the institute? Does it consider that
the soil of France is suited to beet
culture2"
Cuvier seemed to begin at the foun-
dations OF the earth, and work up in
his answer. He gave the formation Of
the earth, and the particular sort Of
protoplasm beets came from.
When he had finished, the Emperor,
who had understood none of his con-
illusions, said:
"Ah, NJ. Cuvier, and do you think
the soil of France suited for beet cul-
tur5?"
Cuvier, wondering little, began
his story all over again. After it had
reached its second ending, the EN-
peror, who was not always courteous,
said:
Il thank you very much, sir. Tho
first time 1 see your colleague Berthol-
let, shall ask him if the institute
considers the soil of France suitable
for beet culture. Atlanta Constitu-

1t is hard to fancy SO many silver

Mint who are busy just now counting
$50, 900, 900. One of the storage
vaults containing that sum, which has
been closed four years, has recently

that the bugs, in each of which were
$1,000, had rotted badly, and many
would not hold. So, knowing of the
danger if that tremendous mass Of
silver-should start to move, the men
built q strong dam ncross one end of
the vault for their protection, and thon
went to work, feeling quite secure.
While some of them, however, were
below the dam weighing the bags, and
others were on top picking them out,
one Of the top men stepped on rotten
