It Es QaAae am Important Event 1@
 the Dig Mills.
 The letters XXX which decorate our four bags are a source of mystery to the-aVerage housewife, but get there very naturally. In the largest -four mills several tests are given all -four sent out, but the final test Is the bak- ing trial In a kitchen attached to the flour mills, which is resplendent with shining pans, electric ovens and white cooling -boards, there are loaves of bread made daily from the different samples of -four which have just been ground, Cooks are kept the year round for this purpose, for as many as sixty loaves are made daily by one mill aleae.
 Exactly at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. after the bread Is done, the head mill- CTS file into the kitchen and cut and in- spect the different lOaves. No man knows which four has come from his vote Is taken on the best loaf, and the flour from which that was made is marked with the mysterious Ks. So great has this business of testing four become that one great mill has testing rooms to which samples of grain are sent from all over the United States and Canada. These samples are made into bread after going through minia- ture flour mill. After the bread has been made the package of grain is sent back to the miller who shipped 1t with full directions how to mark his flour, whether best or second best.

THE LAND CRAB.
A Mean Trick by Which Pacific Hs-
 land Natives Catch Them.

Mean Trick by Which Pacific ls-
 laAd Natives Catch Them.
 In Fiji and other Pacific islands the natives have an ingenious plan of cap- turing the male crab. The native goes out h the late night, and when he hears a crab at work up a tree he climbs up some fifteen or twenty feet the tree is generally a hundred feet high or mOre-and ties large wisp of grass round the trunk. The crab, hav- ing finished his work, hurries down to his partner for feed, travelling back ward, as usual. When he comes to the treacherous clump of grass, thinking he is once more on mother earth, he lets go his hold of the tree and of course goes down smash. breaking his legs and getting stunned, to fall an easy victim to the native boys who come round with their baskets in the morning. The whole of crabdom ap- parently regarded this as a mean trick when it came in first, and they are now very circumspect on their expe- ditions. so that few are caught in this way. .
 In his hole the land crab makes him. self a comfortable bed of cocoanut fiber, and he makes the material up so we'll that the native women burrow for it. as it Is found useful for many purposes pillow stufing, the making of chignons. pads and other modern toilet ''fakings" which they have now picked up from the mission stations and towns.

EASY WAY TO CURE CATARRH.
Breathe Hyomei and Kill All Catarrhal
 Germs. Money Back If It Fails, !"
 Says w. D. Heald.

Breathe Hyomei and Kill All Catarrhal
 Germs. Money Back If It Fails, ?
 Says w. D. Heald.
 There Is no dangerous stomach drug ging when using Hyomei. The healing and aromatic balsams which compose this wonderful treatment are breashed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every @1 outfit.
 In this way the germ killing and health giving HyomeI penetrates ths most re- mote cells of the lungs. It searches out and kills disease germs in the air pass- ages of the head, throat and nose, soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane, and absolutely drives cataErh from the system.
 Such remarkable results have followed the use of Hyomei by the best people in Stafford that W. D HeaId has the great est confidence in its power to cure ca- tarrh. He believes in it @ thoroughly that he will give his personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure, the purchaser to be sole judge .--..
 This Is an unusual offer, and the first time that any medicine or treatment for the cure of catarrh has been sold in this way If 1t cures, the expense is trifllnG, while if it falls, the cost is absolutely nothing.
 If you are fortunate enough not to be troubled with cntarrh, tell y6ur friends of Mir. Heald's offer and get them to take advantage of 1t.

His companion nodded "I know the feeling When I was little girl my mother gave me the task of sweeping the parlor. did not like 1t. and at first did it hurriedly, leaving unswept the places | thought would not be discov- cred. When mother came to inspect the room her tone of mingled reproof and surprise filled me with shame when she said, And my Ruth did not sweep behind the doorr That was all, yet whenever am tempted to shirk or do anything which is not right think I must sweep behind the door,
 Her naive simplicity delighted Cart right, and he led her to talk Of her home town, her friends and her daily occupations. Yet there was never q word of the ring nor the man who had placed it upon her finger, and Cart right respected the fine delicacy of her nature.
 Eyerything must come to an end, and this incomparabie day was draw ing to a close. With start of sur prise the girl noted the slanting sun. ''I had no idea it was so late" she said. s'How the time has flown"
 Cartnght helped her to her feet, every nerve thrilling at the touch of her httle hand.
 He held it between hiS own, and bent impetuously toward her. Need we say goodbyY' he said. May not call tonightY'
 She raised her eyes to his. They were both glad and troubled at his words, yet within their depths was an appeal he could not mistake-an ap- peal to his chivalry. "It must be good by," she said, and then, ''I am to be married in September"
 He dropped her hand. "And so am l." he replied gloomily. 'T suppose after the 12th of September must not even think of you any more."
 "Wednesday, the 12th? Why. that is my wedding day"
 "And mine"
 Miss Broadhurst smiled as she turn cd away. '-Mr. Cartright, there is the plot for your story" .+.. -.
 ''Need 1t be writtenY' he asked pas sionately, pleadingly. That story is 90 sad; the saddest have ever known"
 The sweet lips were tremulous, but the eyes were brave and steady now. 'It must be written" she said softly. "Your heroine was true and sweet Help her to sweep behind the door, to remain true to herself and her prom ise. And, oh, believe me, though they parted, those two in the story, she al- ways remembered him. and," breath lessly, was sorry, perhaps, that-that they were not to be together, nor even see each other again."
 And he-the man in the story-was more than sorry. He would have said much, yet honor forbade. She gave him a rose which he always kept And this is the end of the story"
 The girl unpinned a rose at her breast She kissed it and handed it to Cartright, and went her way unsee- ingly, for her eyes were filled with tears. She turned once and looked back. He stood upon the spot where they had parted. The rose he held to his lDS

The Submarine Boat.

One of the earliest suggestions of the submarine was that of q British snug gler, Johnson, who invented a boat that was to travel under or above wa ter. With this vessel he proposed to carry Napoleon from St. Helena, but the emperor died while the boat was under construction. The adherents of the emperor promised Johnson $2OO,- OOO on the day the boat was ready to start and an immense sum if 1t proved successful. Some years later Johnson built boat with which he experiment. ed in the Thames for the British admi- ralty. In this connection 1t may be mentioned that one of Napoleon's mar shals, Massena. began life as a snug gler on large scale. and Commodore Thurot of the French navy of that time obtained his knowledge of the British coasts while in the employ of a Smuggler.

They Are Harmleas In ahe Daytime.
 hut Vicious at Wight.
 In the daytime, when sunlight stim- ulates their nutrition. plants can do no harm in bedrooms, for then they give off oxygen and are useful in ab- sorbing from the air the carbon which is injurious to animal life. The free use which Is made nowadays of flow CTS and plants In our hospitals Is in it. self sufficient proof that this Is Il whole some means of mInistering mental cheer and comfort to the sick and suf- fering.
 At night the case Is different Then all plants and flowers are removed from hospital wards, because they ex- hale the carbOnic acid which they have gathered from the soil and air and thus give off by a process similar to respiration q gas which is injurious
 We may therefore conclude that dur ing the hours of darkness. when the respiratory process Is active and the nutritive Is at standstilI. plants should have no place in our bedrooms. What Is prudent in spacious wards is imper- atfve in smaller chambera

June 1a. 1874.

Patrick Doolan has commenced work upon a new house upon his lot at Foxville.
 John Brown is erecting building adjoining his block, designed as a re- pository for the sale of carriages.
 The sum of $SS was raised by col lection in the Methodist church on the 7th inst, and forwarded to aid the sufferers by the Mill River dis aster.
 E. l.. Dimock is about enlarging the building next west of Browns block, which he will make higher, wider and deeper, giving a large store on the lower floor, with a versnda on three sides of the house.
 Main street is being graded nesr F. A. HarwoOd's store, by cutting down the summit of the sharp rise at the turn of the street, and filling in at the foot. The street is also being im- proved farther north, and work is about being commenced where the new sidewalk is to be made. Wm. J. Aborn, the late purchaser of Andrew Whiton's place in the west part of the village, is making decided improvements there. Fire was discovered under the roof of Breed & Wightman's carriage shoT at the Hollow Saturday morning about o'clock. Water was handy, the roof was reached by ladders, and the fire, which had burned a large hole, was extinguished, after most strenuous exertions upon the part Oi the citizens and citizenesses, tho latter deserving a large part of the credit, as has been the case at previ ous fires in that village. It was for. tuGate that the fire was discovered iI time, as the building is 24 stories, o considerable size, and Brown Bros store and perhaps other building could hardly have been saved had tho carriage shop been burned. wor, was sent to this village, and Torren Engine Go. was soon on the roas with their apparatus. but were met a Glynville with the glad news that they were not needed.

Et I@ Possible to Make a Palatmble
 Loaf From Savvdust.
 As long ago as 1884 Professor Aute- rith of Tubingen succeeded in making a tolerably good quartern loaf out of a deal board. Everything soluble was removed by maceration and boiling: the wood was then reduced to fibers, dyied in an oven and ground, when 1t had the taste and smell of corn flour. A sponge was then made by the addi- ton of water and the sour leaven of corn flour, and 1t was baked and found to be better than a compound of bran and corn husks.
 Wood flour boiled in water forms also nutritious jelly, which the pro- lessor found both palatable and whole some in the form of gruel, dumplings and pancakes.
 Professor Brande has also recorded the making of bread from woody fiber. He says: Before me is specimen inn ported from Sweden. Seeing the close relation between the composition of starch and hgnine. the conversion of the latter into bread does not seem so remarkable" He also cannot praise the quality oe such bread. 4a
