wall, where it is supposed to have
lain since the year PA B. c. Seward
Tabor, who carved the frame, found

How to Use Patent Leather.

Patent leather is very delicate, es-
pecially when new, and in cold
weather a very slight pressure will
crack it, so that before putting on
shoes of this leather they should be
placed before the fire, not too close,
for a short time, in order to make
the leather plant. Patent leather
shoes should be rubbed to the shape
of the foot with the hand and they
will not then be so liable to wrinkle
and crack when wearing. When
they are getting dull and losing their
gloss rub white egg on them.

LIKE THE MILLS OF HOLLAND.
Its Owners Notion About the Danger
of Admitting Others.

OF Admitting Others.
Near the village Of Minnesota
Lake, situated on the north shore of
the lake, stands an old-time wind
mill, which resembles in all its phases
the Dutch mills of Holland, says the
St. Paul Pioneer-Press. It is owned
by Gottlieb Shastag, an old German,
and was built by him some 40 years
ago, and used as a grist mill. For
the past Is or 20 years Shastag has
allowed no one to enter the building,
not even his wife or son.
His reason for this is a strange
one. 1t appears that, as the story is
told by an old resident, some evil
disposed person ''put the devil in
the mill, and for five years it caused
him a great deal of annoyance,
trouble and anguish of mind. After
repeated efforts he finally succeeded
in getting the evil one out, and he
knows this to be a fact, for he dis
tinetly saw him going out IN the
form of a rabbit. AS long as he al
lows no person to enter it will be i'm
possible for his Satanic majesty to re
turn and renew his direful work. He
is perfectly honest in his dealings,
and cut in the price of grist-grind-
ing by competitor worries him not,
for, as he says, "God makes de wind
blow, and when de wind blow l
grinds," and he has an advantage
over the competitor, as it costs him
nothing for fuel.
Xhe building being octagonal, its
dimensions are larger than one would
think at a casual glance. 1t has a
diameter of 40 feet, tapering to about
25 at a height of 40 The main
arms, of which there are four, each
35 feet in length, are of hewn oak,
ten inches at the largest end and
tapering to about six, and are firmly
fastened to an axle on top of the
mill, and to this main axle or shaft
the machinery is attached. 1t is
necessary, as is the case with mod
ern windmills, to keep the fans facing
that point from which the wind is
coming, and this mill is not so auto
matte in its construction as modern
ones are. AS the wind changes ii
has to be turned by hand. This is
accomplished by long sweep or
pole, which is framed into the roof,
extending to within few feet of the
ground, to the end of which chain
can be attached. The other end OF
the chain is attached to a capstan,
and when the miller finds the mill
out of wind he drags the capstan
ahead few feet, where it is caught
by anchor posts set for that purpose,
and with a lever draws the sweep
around until the proper point is
reached. ....
The arms, as they revolve to the
highest point, reach height of 90
feet, and although at a distance they
seem to be moving very slowly, in
fact they pass given point at the
rate of % miles an hour, with 80.
horse power. No one knows how
the machinery of the inside is con.
structed, but it is supposed, like
that of the exterior, to be counter
part of the mills in Holland. Wher
any part needs repairing Shastag,
unaided and alone, makes the change.

Rats as Scavengers.

Birmingham is overrun with rats
that are fed from the sewers. The
authorities have taken no steps to
exterminate them, because Mr..
Chamberlain, when mayor, declared
that rats were good scavengers, and
by eating up garbage prevented the
spread of disease.
