BLEACHING OF
FLOUR STOPPED
MiIlers Given Until June 1 to
Cease Improving
Process.

The millers Of Greensboro in COM
mon with rnillers all over the coun-
try have received instructions to
stop the manufacture and sale of
bleached flour by June /. The local
millers think that the order is I'M
just but will, of course, comply with
it.
Dr. Wylie, Of the pure food COM
mission, started the agitation against
bleached flour several months ago.
At first the movement was directed
against flour bleached by acid pro-
cesses and users of the Alsop meth
cd, which is electrical, felt safe. How
ever, DR.. Wylie came out later with
an assertion that all bleaching pro-
cesses have the same deteriorating
effect, and were, therefore, unlaw-
full. The pure food commission stood
by this decision, and despite their
contention that DR.. Wylie is crank
of the worst sort, the commission
decided that bleachers must go. In
compliance with this decision, Direc-
tor M. A. Scovell of the Kentucky
experiment station has sent out or
ders for bleaching to stop by June l.
The Alsop method was the one US
ed by Owensboro millers and its in
.stallation was expensive, the process
being considered best of the many
on the market and being covered by
a patent. Therefore, the removal of
these bleachers means considerable
loss to the local millers and as they
can no longer be used in the United
States they will have to 60 to Europe
before thy are of any value on the
market as secondhand machines

They had a concert the other night
at Pittsburg, at which only the old
songs were sung, says the Ohio State
Journal. It was q popular entertain

like the old songs--like them the best.
And they are very happy when the old
songs are sung by people who know
how to sing. They even like an old
song badly sung, but when It - finely
sung they are in raptures.

author Of a book on finance. It was
during the free silver excitement,
when every work on the subject OF

the only real money was paper Il. ..

Victorian days was ceremonious

"sir" and madam" and would never
have dreamed Of starting CONVERSE

In 1t. He came in to dessert, and was
given his glass Of wine on condition
that he made his grave little bow to
each of the company in turn, an object
lesson in precedence which was posi-
bly, useful to him In later years. but
must have been unspeakably trying at

A Wronu Attitude,

Hundreds of working girls to-day,
who are toiling to support aging par
ents, or to aid younger children, are
incomparably superior to many Of the
aristocrats of earth, because they are
developing character-which Ia the
only thing in this life that counts in
the great scheme.
But the working girl and man who
are filled with envy and hatred toward
the rich are not to be admired or re.
spected merely because they labor.
II you work only because you must,
and hate your work, and hate every
man who has wealth and leisure, do
not imagine your labor makes you
worthier than his wealth in the eyes
of the Creator, for 1t does not.
Whether you are poor or rich Is Of
small consideration in the long run
but what you are In character and
principle is of eternal Importance.

Public Opinion Mighty.

The only tribunal. save the battle
field, before which the acts of ma
tons pass in review is the court Of
public opinion. The sentiment of the
world will not tolerate acts which
would have been uncondemned 200
years ago, and those who are respon-
sible for government to-day would not
do such things. But this fact does not
make treaties to-day more binding
than old treaties. Although such agree
ments are too often broken, yet 1t Ia
well to make them and right to con.
denim nations for violating them; for
1t is in that way that the sentiment
grows which will In the distant fu.

Thoroughbred Horse Refused 70 Step
On Body In Roadway.

Stories Or the wisdom Of animals are
not few In the present day, when the
humane societies are doing SO much
to promote the rights Of our dumb
brethren, vet each new tale IS not
without its own peculiar interest.
The following true story concerns
horse belonging to man living in
Worcester, Mass, writes Mrs. A. r.
Knowlton, in Our Dumb Animals.
Prince was a thoroughbred, his nat
urally fine instincts sharpened and
rendered more acute by his training,
for he had known life on the race
track until some slight accident un-
fitted him for that career and trans
formed him into carriage horse.
He was being driven homeward one
evening in winter when dusk was fast
rendering even nearby objects invis-
ible. Suddenly he stopped short trem-
bling all over.
In vain his driver urged him to pro-
coed. Prince refused to stir, and the
Quivering Of his muscles increased.
At last the driver left his seat to dis
cover the cause Of this unusual be-
havior. 1t was soon explained. Just
In front Of the horse--in fact almost
beneath his appraised foot-lay WON.
an who had slipped, fallen and was
unable to rise.
To avoid doing her injury that
splendid animal had resolutely held up
his fore foot for more than a minute.
No wonder he trembled from the
strain Of his unaccustomed position.

ssrvian Proverbs.

Some Of the Servian proverbs arc
interesting. One Is: What is taken
by force or unjustly Is cursed"
Others are as follows: God does not
settle his accounts with men every
Saturday, but the day comes on
which he settles them;" THE devil
never sleeps" where big bells ring
the little bells are not heard" Boast
to stranger, complain only to a
friend" IF you wish to know what
a man is, place him in authority
who readily lies readily steals and
'Tn evil days the man shows what he
Is" Another of their sayings: "The
fools build the houses, the wise mef

pantzlc and Nuremberg.

In preserving the spirit Of the
renaissance, the city has done for
north Germany what Nuremberg has
done for south Germany. Nuremberg
built Its houses with greater pic
turesqueness and variety; Dantzic,
with greater durability, with more
unity Of style and grouping, and later;
and 1t has kept out modern discords
more successfully. The townsman or
dered his dwelling In the same lordly
spirit with which he ordered his
clothes. Brick would do for his church,
but stone was not too good for his
house. And these rich facades are al
most as surprising in this stoneless
country as facades Of silver.-From

The Revenge Of the Beavers.

At the reservoir at Saddleback pond
recently at Rangely beavers work In
dam construction was found to inter-
fere with the water supply from Sad
dleback stream. These busy en-
gineers had constructed a tight dam
which had retained considerable OF
the supply of the mountain reservoir,
and workmen each day tore out their
work only to find 1t rebuilt on their
next visit. Good-sized tree sections
had been hauled in and placed In the
dam by the beavers. After several de-
structions Of the beavers dams there
was again found to be stoppage In
the supply Of water through the main
pipes. The dam had not been rebuilt,
but on close investigation 1t was
found that these cunning engineers In
revenge apparently had built dense
screen across the strainer, which had
prevented the flow Of water through
the main pipe.-Kennebec (Me.) Jour

zone OF the most interesting things
to me In connection with this job
said the veteran keeper Of the Zoo, "is
the peculiar fascination women have
for certain animals and their lack Of
interest In others. OF course, as q rule,
men are more interested than women,
generally speaking, In wild animals
But the masculine interest lies In an
admiration Of the physical qualities or
a curiosity to find out at close range
how the creature lives. The woman's
feeling, on the other hand, nine times
out Of ten, Is one Of rapt fascination
impossible to overcome when she Is
close to certain creatures OF the
woods.
"This emotion never manifests itself
for the eaters Of grass. For the ele-
plant or deer the average woman
feels no real interest whatever. It Is
toward the devourer Of flesh, particu-
larly the felines, that your wife or sis
ter or cousin feels drawn In that mex
plicable way. You must spend days
in the lion house in order to appreci-
ate fully the way in which women
stand spellbound before these cages.
But the greatest Of all is the fascina-
ton of the reptiles. I have seen wom-
en- become absolutely unconscious OF
the outer world in their contemplation
Of motionless snakes. A few days ago
a woman stood for more than two
hours before the king cobras. She
looked like the wife of working man
who made fair pay. I'll bet that II you
gave her a book on snakes she
wouldn't read hundred words Of It."
