NECKTIES ALWAYS NEW.
Mr.. Feathers Learns the Secret of Nj
Ginks' Attractive Assortment.

Mr.. Feathers Learns the Secret of Mr..
Ginks' Attractive Assortment.
II am somewhat curious by nature,
said Mr.. Feathers recently, land some
time ago was struck by the remarkable
number Of new neckties worn by young
Mr.. Ginks, who sits opposite me at our
boarding house table. I proceeded to
study them, and after week or two I
discovered that they We're not only al
ways smooth and fresh, but that their
appearance was regulated according to
their hues. For two days be would wear
a black and gray tie, for instance Then
q black Powered red ground affair would
creep out from his bosom, and then two
or three more combinations would DO
worn. At last 1 could restrain myself
no longer, and asked Ginks to explain
to me his necktie system. He looked
mysterious and beckoned me to a se-
cluded corner.
Mr.. Feathers, he said earnestly,
I feel that 1 can confido in you thor
oughly. The scarfs you have so kindly
admired are five in number and are all
have. I wear one until it gets soiled,
and then drop it in gasoline outside Of
my window. After the liquid has evap-
Grated I take the scarf in, and every sign
of dirt has disappeared. By doing this
in rotation with the five ties I keep up
an appearance that would cost moro
than could afford if depended upon
new ones.
II thanked the young man for his
very interesting information, said Mr..
Feathers in conclusion, "and do hot
doubt that many Others like him know
the value of gasoline as q cleansing az
ticlo and put it to good use. I hope
they all use it in the open air, however,
as it is very volatile and inflammablo
liquid and is liable to explode if exposed
in a room where there is a gas light or
q fire. Washington Star.

FLOUR MILLING.
The Rolling Process Has Changed the En-
tire Means of OperatiOn,


In the roller process the whole prin-
ciple Of the manufacture Of -four was
changed Instead Of getting all the -four
possible out of the wheat in one or two
reductions ON millstones. tho idea was
to make as little -four as possible on the
first production and leave large per-
centage of middlings aftervard to be re.
duced to what is known as patent -four.
Nowadays the number of reductions Va
ries from four to eight or more. Millers
are now able 80 grind with a length of
rolls equal to 10 inches per unit Of 100
barrels of flour in 2l hours and do good
work
Recently the "plansifter" has step
ped into notice and is used with q very
great capacity both as a scalper and as
a flour bolt. The purifier is greatly i'm
proved, varying il size from eight feet
in length by three in width to three feet
square, with the attendant dust catcher.
Many mills creditable to the ingenuity
Of the builders have been devised to per-
form q number Of operations in very
small space, comprising rolls and sepa-
rators, and also several pairs of rolls in
one frame. In the wheat cleaning room
the tendency has been to use more ma
chimes than formerly and to clean the
wheat better. The flour as it comes
from the reels is now packed with great
rapidity and exactness, and the bran in
some Of the larger mills is compressed
into half the former space by a machine
that will pack 40 tons day.
In short, the whole improvement has
been on the line of smaller machines
with greater capacity, taking less room,
using shorter road from the wheat bin
to the -four sack, and with reduction
in the amount of power required to make
a barrel Of flour A mill builder
states that in we'll planned 100 barrel
mill a barrel of flour per 38-100 Of q
horsepower is fair work, while il q
1000 barrel mill it is at about the rate
of 25 horsepower per unit of 100 barrels
daily capacity. Chicago Record.

TO JOHN |. SLEEPER.

Why do you cling unto life, my brother9 Why
do You cling unto life, l say?
Why 90 You Weep when the yoke and letters Of
. i4esh from dear one drop away?
You know this world is a house Of sorrow, you
know this world Is house Of sin:
That pain Is the Dead sea fruit of pleasure and
VIII be ever, as it hath been.
Why, then, cling unto life, when over the blue,
transpicuous rim afar
Shlneth the walls Of the Wondrpus City, where
only blessings and blisses are?
why Go you beat your hands with passion and
storm the sky with your plea and prayer
whenever passes a stainless spirit forever out
OF your clasp and care?
hou say he goes to glad, brave kingdom,
over vague and voiceless sea,
Where never last goodby is spoken and never
and never grave shall be,
And where from rapture to perfect rapture,
with crown and Tyre, he scars and sings,
The chrism Of Christ upon his forehead, the
glory OF God upon his wings.
II thought as you think my brother, if be-
lieved in a better sphere
Beyond the grass and the golden lilies that
blossom over a dead man here,
/ would tingla with great strange gladness
whenever q friend of mine should die;
1 would robe him in festal raiment, and
would kiss him gay goodby.
And, oh. when unto me came the hour-the
miracle hour that comes to all
Never cypress branch nor blossom should
throw its gloom on my gorgeous pail.
At my funeral should be dancing and dainty
feasting at festal board,
Should be singing and iests and laughter and
gurgle Of wine in the glasses poured,
And jubilant bells should rock the steeples
when was borne to the gay, bright grave,
And rattle Of drums and trill of trumpets
blend in glad thanksgiving stavc.

4 Long Life.

Sir Benjamin Richardson, NJ. D., of
England, thinks that the normal period
Of human life is about 10 years, and
that seven out Of ten average people
could live that long if they lived in the
right way. They should cultivate a
spirit of serene cheerfulness under all
circumstances and should learn to like
physical exercise III scientific way. No
man, he says, need be particularly alb
stemious in regard to any article Of food,
for the secret Of long life does not lie
there. a happy disposition, plenty Of
sleep, temperate qualification Of all
the natural appetites, and the right kind
Of physical exercises, will insure Ion
gevity to most people. New York

TIN CANS AND OLD SHOES.
They Well Reward the Italians Who Rake
Them Out of the Ash Heaps.


On every dumping ground where the
city contractors Of Brooklyn place their
ashes ono may sec constantly Italians

load after load is deposited, and care.

castoff pieces of tinware in piles by

among tho ashes for this insures care
full leveling by the Italians at the
dumping grounds at no expense to the
contractors. The revenue from these
cans that are collected by the hundreds
and thousands is q matter of surprise to
most persons. A two horse load brings
from Sc to IS. 1t takes several days of
hard work to get big wagon load, but
the Italians don't seem to mind the labor
Of it, for there is money immediately in
sight as the piles Of tin cans grow.
They watch jealousy their picking
grounds and sometimes make special
arrangements with the contractors for
the privilege of scraping and raking the
ash heaps over.
The tin cans are sold to men with
furnaces, who place them in a big cal
dron, and under slow fire melt the tin
and solder and run that part off for fu-
turo use and sale. Almost all the tin
and solder is saved by this process and
is salable for use in making more cans
for preserving vegetables. The heat is
then made intense, and the iron that re-
mains is melted and cast into sash
weights. The demand for these old cans
is said to be greater than the supply,
and ono Of the most valuable of the
scavenger privileges that the Italians in
large cities assume is that of working
over an ash dump.
The Italians also collect odd bits Of
leather in heaps. Old shoes of large
size are always a special delight to
them. Awagon load Of them is always
salablo for use i'll making lampblack.
There are other sources of profit in ash
heaps but the chief sources Of revenue
to those who pull them to pieces are the
cans and tho shoes. New York Sun.

The lives lived by the 8Tools alc,
without perhaps any exception, the
most procarious and miserable that can
be imagined. The poor man is thrown
into prison for sums he never possessed
and can never pay, the rich to be
squeezed of oil he possesses, while those
only can hope to escape who are NOM
bers of families sufficiently powerful to
arouse the fears Of the local governor
should he attempt extortion and not
sufficiently powerful to stir up the jeal-
ousy and avarice of the sultan.
Even the governors Of the provinces
suffer themselves as they mako others
suffer, for just as they squeeze tho agri-
culturist and the peasant so are they in

presents to maintain q good opinion at

$4,000 FIRE.
Fine Saw Mill Of |. S. Lyon De
stfoyed by Flames.
Caught from Defective smokestack and aid
the Plant Low.

Readers Of the journal will reco,, ~
Item In yesterdays issue stating that
bright light, indicating fire, was see,
about A. M, in the direction Of Read
Held. The light was caused by the burn
ing OF l.. S. Lyons saw mill, situated q,
she Mount Vernon road, about tbre
miles from Augusta.
Inc fre caught 1t is thought, from
the smoke stack, which at times BEGAN,
niied with SCOT and burned out. Tbi
time, 1t in all probability burned through
and caught upon tho roof of the mill.

awoko and noticed very bright rellec
tion In the room. SO got I'D and went &c
the window, when to his great surprise he
saw the mill enveloped In flames. Hur.
riediy dressing himself, he rushed out and
fastened to the mill, hoping to be able to
get inside to blow the whistle, but found
the interior of the mill filled with smoke.
steam and fire, SO that all he could DOS.
sibly do was to rush to the house of Mr..
Lyon and inform him of the disaster.
Not having apparatus to extinguish the
lire, the men stood powerless while the
flames swept on in their mad havoc.
When the blaze died away all that was left
OF the once prosperous plant was heap
of blackened ruins.
The value of the mill was about $4,000
and was insured in Downing's agency of
Augusta, for $4,000. 1t was built about
eight years ago and surrounding it was a
tract of woodland, which Mr. Lyon pur-
chased and was clearing. The loss Is q
sad blow to this Industrious man, but he
will probably rebuild. The mill had
fortunately never caught before during the
years which 1t had been running, and the
season was about at close Most of the
saving at this mill was done in the fall,
winter and spring.
1t was very lucky for Mr.. Lyon that
previous to the fire and during it's progress
the rain fell freely, as by reason Of this
the dwelling occupied by Mr.. Pinkham,
his foreman, and other outbulldings were
not burned. Adjoining the mill was the
dry house, in which was about 5000 feet
of lumber used for laying floors, and in
the mill was about $500 worth of lumber
for making boxes, all of which is now in
ashes. The size of the mill was 80 by 40.
In the winter Mr.. Lyon employed about
