Food Products.

There is danger that certain desirable articles among the raw articles of food will soon be unattainable. Some indeed have already become so. We hear the regret often expressed that the healthful properties of certain food products, as bread four, for example, are refined away in the modern mill process. Re- fnement is doing the same thing for cornmeal. It is bringing us something much more delicate in appearance, but not the ingredient called for by those ancient recipes for Indian pudding and brown bread which have been handed down from some colonial ancestor from generation to generation. The modern cornmeal will not produce the same compound, no matter how carefully the formula may be followed.
 A number of these old recipes call, too, for brown sugar, something almost impossible now to procure. An inquiry for the darkest brown sugar" at a grocer's will secure a moderately soft and pale yellow sugar; in some shops not even that, but only the moist, pure white o brand. can be had. In carrying out the directions of the recipe, little molasses will have to be added, and even then it will not be quite the right thing. Molasses, too, is not to be had as dark as formerly, and the rich brown ginger cake of today has to take on an added and not desirable dose of spices to get its color. New York Post.

The Growth of Flowers.

It has been noted that a large number of species of plants have their flowers bending to the southeast when opening.
 The well known compass plant, Silphi- um laciniatum, is one of this class.
 Some 30 years ago paper was present, ed to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, showing that all the growth made ill the flowers of the com pass plant was made within two or three hours after sunrise All growth after this was at a standstill until the next day. It has since been noted that the flowers which turn toward the southeast in opening, as already referred to, are those which choose this particular part of the day as their growing time. It is just possible that the the heat and light after the rising of the sun has an influ. ence on growth at that time, and this may be the reason for the turning in this particular direction All plants have a specific time of growth, some in the morning, some at midday and some at evening or night Growth is not contin- uous in any plant. .-Meehan's Monthly.

HE FoREeAw THE FUTURE.
James G. Blaine's Prophetic Words About
 His Political Career.


 His Political Career.
 first made the acquaintance of MT. Blaine during the congress session of 1865-6. He was then beginning his sec- ond term in the house. At that time l owned and edited a country newspaper in General Garfleld's district One day in the fall of 1865 Garfield wrote me to come up to his hilltop home in the little college town of Hiram. He told mo that he thought it would be good thing for q young newspaper man to study nation al politics ill Washington and get ao- quainted with national men, and that he would undertake to get mo clerk ship in the Eouse of representatives. In due time he spoke to his old friend, General Robert c. Schenck, who was chairman of the committee OH military affairs, and the result was l was given the clerkship of that committee
 Colfax was speaker of tho house, and for some reason or other he seemed to have little liking for the ambitious young member from the Augusta dis trict of Maine, for he appointed Blaine to position near the foot of that com mittee. Now, Blaine had not served in the army and had no knowledge of mil itary legislation and no taste for that kind of work. He useI Go be a country editor himself, and be appeared to take a fancy to the young clelk from Ohio He would often drop into the committee room, and, standing before the wood fire, would talk freely to me about his newspaper and political career and his plans and hopes for the future.
 remember that he said one day: II do not like this military committee business ant ought not to bo here. Next congress am going to be on the com mittce on appropriations or ways and means. Financial questions will soon be the dominant ones in congress. Two my committee. Then think l shall be speaker of the house and after awhile l hope to go to the senate"
 Everything came about exactly as he planned. He had wonderful precedence concerning his own future as well as in relation to political events. When he was a acandidte for the presidential nom- ination i'll 1880, he said to me: My ca recr has thus far closely paralleled that of Henry Clay. He was speaker of the house and then senator. His party re- fused to nominate him as long as it had any chance of electing president When it had no longer any chance, it gave him the nomination he had so long sought. l believe that is going to be my fate "-ChiCagO Times-Herald

countenance as the prosecuting attor-
ney outlined his case. When he had
concluded the taking of testimony be-
gan.
Twenty witnesses were summoned
for examination, and the district attor
ney took them one by one ust as the
finding of the different portions of the
body opened up to the public the fact
that terrible crime had been commit
ted. The four witnesses were the boys
who, while swimming in the East
river, had found the upper portion of
the severed trunk, and then followed
the policemen who were called to the
scene of the finding, and they in turn
were followed by witnesses who testi-
fed to the bringing of that part of the
body to the morgue.
The discovery of the lower part of the
trunk, from which the legs were sew
cred half way between the thighs and
knee was then taken up, and every
person who handled it, until it was de-
posted with the morgue keeper was
examined, and each one in turn identi-
fed the paper, Oil cloth and cheese
cloth in which the part was wrapped.
The rest of the session was taken up by
the description of those who found and
inspected the bundle found floating at
the Brooklyn hayward, and, as in the
other two instances, the carrying of
these limbs was followed from the
navy road cob dock to the New York
morgue at Bellevue hospital.
Mrs. Augusta Mack has confessed.
She will go on the stand today, in the
trial of Martin Thorn, her accomplice,
and tell how they murdered William
Guldensuppe, cut up his body and dis
posed of the mutilated remains.
