Emma Byers, q remarkable freak of
nature known as "fihe girl with a doll
baby in her eye" was born at Fair
mount, near Cincinnati, in February,
1882. The writer last saw her in May,
1888, when her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Byers, lived at Budd and Har-
rfet streets, Cincinnati. The eyes of the
child, Emma, so far as is known to the
contrary, are, or were, the most remark
able organs Of vision which uature ever
set in the head of human being. In
her left optic was the form Of perfect
doll baby, handsomely dressed, and with
features positively beautiful.
This wonderful freak was not dis
coloration of the iris. or anything of
that nature, but was to be seen in the
form of the pupil itself. The pupil Of
the right eye was also of the freakish
order, being in the exact shape of a

moon at about the time of its first quar-
ter. The image was not small or indis-
tinct, but could be plainly observed at
distance of or 10 feet When she was
first born her parents believed the child
to be blind, but subsequent events
proved her to be a child with remarka-
bic range and clearness of vision. st.

Ticket of Leave Men.

The ticket Of leave is, in most in
stances, only means to compel the un-
fortunate ex-prisoner to give facilities
to the police to throw obstacles in the
way of obtaining honest employment.
These obstacles may not be intentional
~ created by the police. In some cases
the reporting of the ex-convict may en-
able those whose duty it is to keep an
eye upon his movements to prevent Il
hopeless thief from palming himself off
for purposes Of theft upon some unsus-
pecting employer.
In very large number of cases, how
ever, it means that men who have been
in convict prison only once, and who
may have found their way there owing
to untoward circumstances, irtemper-
ance or temptation, and not through
calculated crime, are prevented by this
police surveillance from obtaining fair
play in their endeavor to throw off all
trace and suspicion of their past crime
and prison experience. Where the
ticket penalty saves one employer
from the risk of harboring an old Jail
bird in the guise of an honest worker, it
prevents 20 men who may be honestly
bent upon better ways from obtaining
the employment which would make
them independent Of criminal practices.

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

The Rolling 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 -four
possible ont of the wheat in one or two
reductions on millstones, the idea was
to make as little -four as possible on the
first production and leave large per-
centage of middlings afterward 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 to grind with length Of
rolls equal to 140 inches per unit Of 100
barrels of -four in "a hours and do good
work.
Recently the s'plansifter" has STEP
ped into notice and is used with very
great capacity both as a scalper and as
flour bolt. The purifier is greatly i'm
proved, varying in 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 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 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 a shorter road from the wheat bin
to the flour sack, and with a reduction
in the amount of power required to make
barrel of -four. A mill builder
states that in well planned 100 barrel
mill barrel of flour per $500 Of
horsepower is fair work, while in
1000 barrel mill it is at about the rate
Of 20 horsepower per unit of 100 barrels
daily capacity. Chicago Record.

Mr.. Feathers Learns the Secret of MIR.
Ginks' Attractive Assortment.
ST am somewhat curious by nature,
said Mr.. Feathers recently, and 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. / proceeded to
study them, and after a week or two j
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
a black Powered red ground affair would
creep out from his bosom, and then two
or three more combinations would be
worn. At last / could restrain myself
no longer, and l asked Ginks TO explain
to me his necktie system. He looked
mysterious and beckoned mo to "a Sc
cluded corner.
Mr.. Feathers, he said earnestly,

admired are five in number and are all

and then drop it in gasoline outside of
my window. After the liquid has evap-
grated tako the scarf in, and every sign
Of dirt has disappeared. BY doing this
in rotation with the five ties keep up
an appearance that would cost more
than l could afford if / depended upon
new ones
II thanked tho young man for his
very interesting information, said Mr..
Feathers in conclusion, land do not
doubt that many others like him know
tho value of gasoline as a cleansing ar
ticlo and put it to good use. hope
they all use it in the open air, however,
as it is a very volatile and infiammable
liquid and is liable to explode if exposed
