TESTING FLOUR AT MILLS.
Sample Is Taken and Made Up Into Bread as Soon as Grain
 Is Ground.

"ft IS surprising To note the dIf- ference that exists between the various brands of flour, said 0. D. Hutchinson, the representative Of oHe of the big mills in Minneapo- lis, Minn., reports the Milwaukee Sentinel. It all depends on how the four is miiled and on the kind of wheat from which il is made. Flour made from hard spring wheat will give from 70 to 40 more loaves of bread per barrel than that made from the softer winter wheat. It contains Il larger per centage of gluten and absorbs more water. The mills are ex- ceedingly careful about the kind of four they send out, and the testing department is one of the most important branches.
 After the four is ground comes the crucial test. \ sample is talk ell and made up into bread. We have four bakings day, and from 20 to 30 loaves are baked each time, each one representing d sample of four. After the test has been made the bread is turned over to the associated charities.
 You may have noticed that the color of flour is no longer a marble white, but creamy white. This comes from the fact that the rich portion of the grain, right under the woody coating, is ground into the flour. What is left can hardly be called bran, for it is only the coarsest part of the outer fiber."

Oranges in Jamaica.

An article in the Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Trades Journal, oi London, gives the reasons why Jamaica oranges can be had for nothing in Jamaica, and do nof pay for packing. A car of oranges from Kendall to Kingston t3o odd miles, costs G14 Gs; the same car laden with bananas costs merely fs. Orange marmalade made in Jamaica can be bought at 41d pound jar in Jamaica, so that il does not pay 10 make mar, malade and the demand for orange wine is small compared with the supply.

SHOWN BY FINGER NAILS.
S: SIS of Illness and Even Mental De- pression Easily Diseerned
 by Experts.

"One who makes a close study of finger nails will find many curl ous things about them 10 excite his wonder and interest," says an expert on such matters, but none more so than the stories of phYsic- al condition told in their growth.
 You Know the nail of d person in good health grows at the rate of about one-sixteenth of an inch each week-slightly more than many authorities belieYe-but during illness or after an accident or during times of mental dePres- sion this growth is not only af- fected and retarded as far as length is concerned, but also as re gards it's thickness.
 "The slightest illness will thus leave an indeIible mark on the nails which may be readily detect ed as tue nail grows out. If one has a sudden attack, such as acute rheumatism, which sends the tem- peratgre bounding upward to l04 or 105 within the space of 4Wo or three hours. it will be found on the nails, indicating the difference in thickness of growth between the time when heaIthwas enjoyed and the thin growth of the i'll period.
 If the illness is one Chat comes gradually, like typhoid fever. for example, instead of a ridee3 gen tie incline will appear on the nails. Should one have an arm broken the thick ridge can be seen on the fingers of the one hand. but in all cases of general sickness the ridge or slope appears au the fin gers of both hands. When one has passed through period of ex- treme excitement or mental de pression the fact will he imprint ed on the nails either with an ab rupt ridge or a gentle slope. ac, eording To the acuteness of the mental influence.
 Tn no instance can themarks of illness, accident or mental eondi. tion be clearly seen on tbenaiI un. til after the growth has carried the line beyond the white OF half moon portion of il. but q week or two subsequent 10 any of these things the ridge or slope may be found on the nails. usually readily visible 10 the eyes, but # not the mark may be found byrunnine the tip of the finger down any of the nails

GREEN DIAMONDS FOUND.
Klerksdorp in the Rand, South Africa, the Point of Recent
 Discovery.

Considerable interest has lately been aroused in Johannesburg by the discovery on a mining prop erty at KIerksdorp of a green dia- mond of about three-quarters karat.

IRISH CONTROL THE TRADE.
Horseshoers in New York City Are Still Principally of That
 Nationality.

In the last report of the police department, filed with the comp troller, there is given q full list of those who, during the quarterpre ceding, did horseshoeing for the department. Of the two dozen names on the list all but two are Irish, says the New York Sun.
 While in nearly every other trade in New York city there has been so lively q competition as practically to transform it, the ans cient and honorable calling Of horseshoer remains almost exclu. sively in strong Irish hands.

DUCK IN DEADLY FORM.
French Dish That Is Not Recom- mendable as Hot Weather
 Diet.

A short time ago the death was announced of Comte Leon de Lau- beskin from the effects of eating dish of duck Ia Rouennaise, states the Paris Messenger. Duck a Ia Rouennaise is considered very deadly during the hot season for the following reasons: In order to prepare the dish according to the recognized rules. the duck must be killed hy sa aation. It happens, therefore, that the blood coagulates in the body of the bird in such a manner that no amount of cooking sufiices to sterilize it. In hot, stormy weather, such as We have had lately, this coagulat- ed blood would decompose and contain sufficient poison to kill anyone eating of the dish. The moral of the story would appear to be: Don't have your ducks cooked Ia Rouennaise.
