WHERE PARCHMENT IS MADE.

A local paper gives an interesting account of the manufacture of parchment in the old-fashioned town of Steyning, in Sussex. Lying un- der the shelter of the South Downs, and not far from where the River Adur cuts through this range, the staple industry of Steyning is the conversion of the skin of the sheep into parchment
 Only a few of the skins brought to the factory are finally selected as good enough for parchment, the rest, it is said, being made into "chamois leather"
 The skin is split into two layers :; the outer one is made into leather and the inner into parchment. Un- der the name of Stanianges Steyn- ing is mentioned in Doolnsday Book. London Globe.

COMPLIMENT TO MISS c.

Years ago, while large water mains were being laid in Beacon street, Boston, it happened one sum- mer morning that certain Miss C., who was much admired member of the younger set, chanced to be pass ing near the open ditch. A gust of wind carried her parasol away, and it alighted on a bank of dirt.
 A young laborer, seeing the para sol, seized it and returned it to its owner, who thanked him. Looking squarely at her, he retorted with an accent, No thanks, ma'am; faith if ye were half as strong as ye are handsome ye never would have lost it."

MILKMAlD'S END IS NEAR.
Machines Destined to Replace the
 Girl with the Pail.

Must the milkmaid follow the spinning-wheel girl into oblivion, or be remembered only in the comic opera chorus?
 Prof. c. B. Lane of the United States bureau of animal industry, doubtless thinks so. He has been testing a machine whose operator can milk two COWS at once and save a lot of time. It costs $1,000 to equip dairy of 100 COWS with eight milking machines and a four horse power engine to provide suction.
 The milk is cleaner, according to Bacteriologist Stocking of the Con- necticut Agricultural college. Says he in a recent government bulletin:
 'In spite of the extremely high total number of bacteria in the ma- chine-drawn milk, the number of liquefying organisms is in nearly every case very much smaller than in the corresponding hand-drawn milk. It is this group which con- tains putrefactive organisms which get into the milk principally from the stable filth, and these organisms, producing putrefactive fermenta- tions in the milk, are believed to cause serious digestive troubles with children.

BE GOOD TO THEM.

The people who expect to share in the rich trade of the future in the Pacific world must be very careful not to quarrel finally with the Jap anese and the Chinese, who will be the masters of that world as surely as the sun shall rise.
 There may be no 'yellow peril'' in Europe, but there will be "yellow' mastery in Asia and the Asian oceans.
 Tokio and Pekin will be the two most powerful capitals in the Pacific hemisphere, with London as a pos sible third; and it will pay San Francisco and Victoria to quarrel with neither.-Montreal Star.

At this season of the year many of the citizens of Flagstaff are leaving for warmer cline. for a trip or for rest. It is vacation time for them. a little later they will be wanting to get back again.
