But how can they 'agree among

That means, if it means anything,
that the "problem' of ratio" has no

who degraded it by placing aud keep

For mere politicians-anglcr for

COMPRESSED Flour.

The British admiralty and the war
department are testing, under various
climatic conditions the new method for
preserving flour. One objection to the
establishment of national granaries has
been the difficulty of storing grain for
any length of time. The grain germi-
mates and is ruined, and to keep large
quantities i'll sound condition has been
pronounced impracticable. Experiments
are being made with Il system of COM
preston into bricks by hydraulic pres
sure. The trials show that the flour so
treated is not affected by damp, even
under unfavorable conditions, and is
free from mold. The compression de
stroys all forms of larval life and the
flour is thus rendered safe from the at
tacks of the insects. The saving in stor-
age is enormous, as the cubic space oc-
cupied by 100 pounds of loose flour will
hold more than 300 pounds of the COM
pressed article. scientific American.

Missouri. The train upon which he
travelled stopped for dinner at DeSoto,
where a greenback convention was in
progress. He saw the situation in the

spoke eloquently Of the people, State,

money. AT last somebody shouted
How about greenbacks?
Mr.. Davis replied
As to money, my friends, if you want scrip
to trade with among yourselves you can
issue county or township scrip. 1t will be
good Just as long as you have faith in it, But
if you want to do business with the world
outside of yourselves you will find that you
