1T don't believe there is a man living who is without his pet superstition, ," remarked a secondhand furniture man. We constantly have people who sell us articles of household use and come i'll after few weeks-sometimes only days and try to buy them back again, with the explanation that they have had bad luck ever since the sale was made and never would have good luck again until the bargain was undone.
 "One woman who had sold us her grandmother clock fairly wept be- cause it was gone before she could buy it in again. This idea is not confined to unedueated or ignorant people by any means.
 "At this very time I know Louis vile business man of great culture and refinement who is vigorously pursuing an old wooden desk which he owned many years ago--a desk on which he made an enormous amount of money by a few lucky strokes of his pen. The desk passed from hand to hand and out o6 his possession He is now earnestly endeavoring to trace it and purchase it, believing that recent business reverses and hard times will flee away if he can only stretch his legs once more under that same old desk.

NECKTlEs ALWAYS NEW.

Mr. Feathers Learns the Secret of NIT.
 Ginks' Attractive Assortment.
 ''I am somewhat curious by nature, I" said Mir. Feathers recently, land some time ago was struck by the remarkable number of new neckties worn by young MT. Ginks, who sits opposite me at our boarding house table. proceeded to study them, and after a week or two discovered that they were not only al- ways smooth and fresh, but that their appearance was regulated according to their hues. For two days he would wear black and gray tie, for instance. Then black lowered red ground affair would creep out from his bosom, and then two or three more combinations would be worn. At last I could restrain myself no longer, and I asked Ginks to explain to me his neektie system. He looked mysterious and beckoned mo to a se- eluded corner.
 MT Feathers, he said earnestly, I feel that I can confide in you thor oughly. The scarfs you have so kindly admired are five ill number and are all l have. l wear one until it gets soiled, and then drop it in gasoline outside of my window. After the liquid has evap- orated 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 more than could afford if I depended upon new ones.
 1T thanked the young man for his very interesting information, said MT. Feathers ill conclusion, "and I do not doubt that many others like him know the value of gasoline as cleansing ar- ticle and put it to good use. hope they all use it ill the open air, however, as it is a very volatile and inflammable liquid and is liable to explode if exposed in q room where there is gas light or a fire.

THE PARIS BouLEvARps.
Kaleidoscopic View of Life to Re Found
 Nowhere Else.

4 KaleidoscopIc View of Life to Re Found
 Nowhere Else.
 In no other streets in the wide world can one see such varied types as on the grand boulevards of Paris. Why, trip through them, on top of an omnibus, from the Bastille to the Madeleine and it takes perhaps an hour-will give you a kaleidoseopic view of life to be found nowhere else. At the Bastille, tho Boulevard des files du Calvaire and du Temple, you meet the laboring classes, on Sundays in their "bestest best'' and on weekdays in white blouses and cotton jackets. Beyond the Place do la Republique the picture changes. Here are the little merchants and shopkeepers and some large ones too. Farther on, up near Rue Vivienne, new blood enters this great artery of Paris-it is tinged with golden sheen, for we are in the heart of the exchanges, among brokers and coulissiers-aye among just such types as Zola drew from for his book entitled Money '' Now the shops are becoming moro gay and beautiful, the cafes more elegant, and the siron voices of Paris make it's joys even more alluring and more tempt ing To appreciate it you must do more than view it from an outsider's stand point. You must take part in 1t, live in it, and for the time being forget that you ever were anything but confirmed and hardened boulevardier.
 There, follow my advice, and will guarantee that you will see Paris as Paris is and not as tourists see or de- a'ribe it. Sit down with me at the ter fasse of yonder cafe and watch the stream of humanity as it flows by. What cosmopolitan throngl Rich and poor, merchants and clerks, unmistaka- ble Britishers, blase journalists. fetch ing looking actresses, chic little Pari siennes of the petite bourgeoisie. news boys and beggars-aye, and Americans, too-all touching elbows" as the French say. Is it not dizzy to look upon, ill it's whirling activity, its abandoned merrymaking?
 See that young exquisite with pointed patent leather boots? Poor fellow He has mislaid his brain and might find it there. He is one of the society men of the boulevard. -F. R. Layland ill Home and Country.

FLOUR MILLING.
The Rolling Process Has Changed the En.
 tire Means of Operation.

Ahe tsoiling Process Has Changed the En-
 tire Means of Operation.
 In the roller process the whole prin- ciple of the manufacture of flour was changed. Instead of getting all the flour possible out of the wheat in ono or two reductions on millstones, the idea was to make as little flour as possible on the first production and leave large per centage of miudlings afterward to be re. duced to what is known as patent flour. Nowadays the number of reductions va ries from four to eight or more. Millers are now able to grind with length of rolls equal to 40 inches per unit of 100 barrels of flour in 24 hours and do good work.
 Recently the 'plansifter" has step ped into notice and is used with very great capacity both as scalper and as flour bolt The purifier is greatly i'm proved, varying in size from eight feet in length by three ill width to three feet square, with the attendant dust catcher. Many mills ereditable to the ingenuity of the builders have been devised to per form a number of operations i'll 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 machine that will pack 40 tons a day.
 In short, the whole improvement has been on the line of smaller machines with greater capacity, taking less room, using q shorter road from the wheat bin to the flour sack, and with reduction in the amount of power required to make barrel of flour A mill builder states that in well planned 100 barrel mill barrel of flour per 38-100 of a horsepower is fair work, while i'll a 1000 barrel mill it is at about the rate of 25 horsepower per unit of 100 barrels daily capacity.

Count. DOrsaY.

The most splendid person I ever re- member seeing had q little pencil sketch in his hand. evidently intended for publication through Thaekeray's good offices, which he left behind him on the table.
 It was a very feeble sketch. Itseemed scarcely possible that so grand being should not be a bolder draftsman. He seemed to fill the bow. window with radiance, as if he were Apollo. He leaned against his. chair, with one ,el- bow resting on it's back, with shining '%studs and curls and boots. - Chapters From Some Memoirs, Mrs. Ritchie.

 Why. responded tho wife, who had got used to it, ''it's nothing but your imagination. .
 Well, guess not, " he said indig- nantly If had an imagination that smelled like that. I'd take it out and have it disinfected at once. "-Detroit Free Press
