His First Experience.

John Smith was a clerk who had to work the telephone which had been new- ly fitted at his office. He will never for- get his first experience with the instru- ment. On hearing the clatter of the bell he took down the receiver and heard his employer's voice asking for informa- tion concerning business. John was un- der the impression that as his employer was two miles away he ought to put his hand to his mouth like an ancient mar- iner on the stage, who is paid sixpence a night to do ‘Ship, ahoy!” business, He accordingly thundered his answer into the transmitter. The answer came, “I don’t understand you at all.”

Smith essayed again and again, but with no better result. A happy thought struck him when he had recovered his wind after the tenth blast, and he softly whispered to himself, “I wonder if the old idiot is deaf.” His hair rose slowly on end as he heard the sound of his gov- ernor’s voice coming softly from the re- ceiver, ‘‘No, John, the old idiot is not deaf, and you can take a fortnight’s no- tice.” John now declares that telephones are frauds.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Kier Hardie.

Kier Hardie, the labor unionist mem- ber of parliament, is no fool despite his sartorial eccentricities and his dia- tribes against constituted society, His enemies tried to deposit him in a cavity not long ago by procuring a firm of clothiers to offer him a suit of clothes tree, calculating to expose the trans- action to Mr. Hardie’s confusion. That

gentleman, however, knew his men, and

in reply expressed his willingness to ac- cept the clothes if the firm would agree to pay its employees the union rate of wages in the future. That closed the in- cident.—London Letter.

Corduroy Portieres,

Corduroy promises to be a great fa- vorite, both for hangings and for the coverings of divansandchairs. In some of its newest forms it is strikingly hand- some, showing figures of a lighter tone upon a ground of the same color, and in even the familiar plain it is both good and desirable. For portieres it is espe- cially to be commended, as it takes rich, deep folds and gives just that sense of warmth and freedom from draft that is to be desired.

Too Much of a Row.

SirWilliam Fraser tells a good story

of Brigham Young and “The Lady of Lyons.” - Young took his wives to see a performance of Lytton’s play at Salt Lake City. When the agony was piled up, he rose, and, followed by his spouses, left the theater, exclaiming, “I won't

stand such an infernal row being made

about one woman!”—Argonaut.

He Picked His Men,

A prominent Methodist clergyman, who now resides in San Francisco, tells this incident, which occurred in a Pull- man sleeper while riding through Iowa. As the train passed over the state line into Iowa a seal was put on the liquor sideboard in the buffet, and the clergy-

man, wishing to test the enforcement of |

the prohibition law, called the porter and asked him if he could get a little whisky.

“Oh, yes, sah,” said the porter.

“And how about a little wine?” queried the minister.

“I think I can fix you, sah,” was the prompt and whispered reply.

“But,” continued the reverend gentle- man, “how about prohibition in lowa?”

“‘Oh,” said the porter, with a knowing wink, ‘‘we always pick-our men, suh.” —San Francisco Argonant.

A New Dessert.

A choice new dinner dessert to be used asa substitute for ice cream is made in this way: Whip a pint of cream to afroth, and color with vege-

table coloring either a very pale green |

or rose color. Soak a fourth of a box of gelatine in a quarter of a cup of cold water until soft, then set it in hot water until it dissolves. Stir three ounces of powdered sugar into the whipped cream, so lightly that you do not break the froth. Then strain in the gelatine and mix thoroughly. but very lightly. When the mixture be- gins to thicken, season gradually with four tablespoonfuls of sherry and one- half toa teaspoonful of vanilla. Add half a cupful of blanched almonds chopped very fine. Pour into small

cups or punch-glasses ready for sery-

ing, and serve very cold. If a more

elegant dish is desired, garnish the top

of each cup with candied fruits o tlowers in very small quantities.—New Vork Evening Post.

HOW FLOUR IS MANUFACTURED.

The Various Processes Through Which Wheat Passes In the Mill.

The noises on the inside of the mil] are deafening. One who has never been in a flouring mill of the largest size can- not realize what a peculiar lot of noises are made by the machinery. As soon as the wheat enters the machine from the long spout which brings it down from the upper floor it falls between two rollers of iron—‘chilled” iron they call it, and very hard iron it is too. One of these rollers revolves rapidly, the other more slowly, in order that the separa- tion of the coat, or bran, from the ker- nel may be more easily accomplished. The wheat first passes between rollers separated just enough to allow the coat to be crushed. It is then carried away to the top of the mill again, to a room where the sun vainly tries to shine in through the flour coated windows far above the city’s roofs. It next passes

| over a wire sieve which separates the

bran from the kernel proper.

This bran, which contains much of the | flour material, again passes down and is |

ground once more, this process being re- peated four times, making five grind-

; ings, each one finer than the one preced-

ing it. Each time the fibrous or bran portions are more completely separated,

| and at last the bran comes out a clear,

brownish husk with every particle of flour removed.

The inside part of the kernel has mean- while been going through an interesting process. After the first grinding or breaking it passes to a big six sided re- volving reel covered with a fine wire netting or sieve. Through this reel the finer portions of the kernels pass, com- ing out in what are called “‘middlings, a granulated mass which goes back to the rollers for another crushing. This process is repeated through five reels, all but the first being of silk. The last one has 120 threads to the lineal inch. The flour which co‘aes out of the fifth reel, while white in hue, is yet not of the fin- est or “patent” grade, but is classed as ‘*baker’s” or second grade flour.

The middlings above referred to are | | feel like one It is light, pliable, cool, and

purified by an interesting process. They are passed over a fine wire sieve, through the upper part of which a strong cur- rent of air is passed, pense the tiny portions of fibrous matter which may have been in the flour, an

at last, after this process of middlings purifying has been very carefully car- ried out, the flour appears a spotless, snowy white—the ‘‘patent” flour, as it is called, In the process of grinding in this gradual and repeated way, the germ of the wheat, a tiny particle about the size of a mustard seed, i8 separated from the white flour. It is what one might call the life part of the wheat. If it were ground up, it would not leave the patent flour so white and powdery, so it is sep-

arated in one of the sievings and passes |

into the darker or lower grade flour. It

contains, however, the best and most }

uutritious part of the wheat. The last thing that happens to the pul- s at

verized kernel before 1t is ready for | market is the filling of barrels or sacks. ! Down many stories through a smooth

tube comes the white or ‘‘patent” flour. Under the tube is the barrel or the sack. as the case may be, and, as it begins to fill, asteel augur just the size of the bar- rel bores down into the flour, packing it carefully and solidly beneath the broad blades.—St. Nicholas.

BREACH OF PROMISE.

HE SUED A WOMAN.

Novel Case in an Irish Court---Church Law and State Law Are Entire ly Separate-- The Jury Disagreed, The case of Tave:

Limerick,

> v. O'Sullivan, at freland, was recently men- tioned in these columns as a unique instance of a man claiming damages from a woman for breach of prom ise. Damares were laid at £500. The Limer- ick Chronicle contains an interesting story of the trial, from which the follow-

ing is taken: Counsel for plaintiff— Messrs George Wright, oc, ¢. Campbell, Q.C., and R G, Jefferson,

instructed by Mr. Beauchamp.

Counsel for the defendant—Messrs, D, LB. Sulivan, Q.C., Seymour Busha, Q.C., and H. C. Cullinan, instructed by Mr, G. Liston,

Mr. Wright opened the case plaintiff, and it appeared from his state- ment that the plaintiff is a Protestant and a native of Limerick He haa seen a chief officer of the Allan Line, and re- ceived a master’s certificate. He had been married to Miss Levan, of Glenbevan, County Limerick. who died in January, 1895, while he was returning from Japan to Liverpoul. While in Kilmallok he was introduced by his late wife’s sister, Misa Bevan, to Miss O'Sullivan, described as a’ good looking young lady, aged 30. They became engaged, and very affectionate letters passed between them. ‘The plain-~ tiff had a well secured income on prop- erty in County Limerick of £60 a year, and the defendant, a Roman Catholic, had £1,000 under her father’s assets.

Owing toa difficulty about the mar- riage in the locality on account of the difference in religion between the parties it was arranged that they should be mar- ried in Liverpool, and a dispensation was being goton behalf of the defendant. The defendant wrote on 4 Friday in Oc- tober, stating: ‘‘I must tell you I felt stunned when my clergyman asked me if you were a Freemason. Why were you not honorable enough to tell me this at first, as if I had known this I would never have entered into an engagement with you? There is not the slightest chance of getting a dispensation either here or in Kngland owing to this fact,’? She added that her faith and belief in her religion were far dearer than either life or happiness, and she was sorry thig upset had occurred at the eleventh hour, but better now than too Jate. Plaintiff replied that he had not gone to a lodge for twenty years, and said that there Were plenty of her religion Freemasons, He thought she had known that he had been a Freemason. Counsel said his cli- ent had been worried and victimized, and he asked the jury to give him reason- able compensation.

Mr. Sullivan, Q.C., stated the defend- ant’s case, and said that the plaintiff en- tered into this engagement when his wife was only a few months in the tomb. Tha defendant met him onthe 11th of July; the engagement took place on the 27th of the same month. She entered into the engagement subject to obtaining the sanction of her church. Her brother ap. plied to the Bishop for dispensation, which was absolutely refused. When the Bishop refused, the defendant wrote to his Holiness, the Pope, explaining the circumstances of this engagement. There wasa statement in a letter that the Pope's consent had been obtained. He did not know how the mistake arose. She knew he was a Protestant, but did not know he was a Freemason, and she Was willing and ready to marry him un- til prohibited by the ordinances of her religion. Counsel submitted that the ob- taining of the dispensation wasa condi- tion of the contract. Plaintiff would not have the gratification of torturing the defendant in the witness box, as the his- tory of the case was contained in the let- ters, and it was not necessary.

Mr. John O'Sullivan, J. P., brother of the defendant, was examined, and said that Captain Taverner entered into the contract of marriage at Adare on the 27th of July, 1895. He waited on the Bishop of Limerick, endeavoring to get his con- sent, but his lordship finaliy and defi- nitely refused. That was abcut the Ist of October. On October 3rd he learnt for the first time that the plaintiff was a Freemason, and did not know that at the time he gave bis consent.

Rev. Dr. Thomas 0’ Dea was examined as to the canon laws of the Koman Cath- olic church, but his Lordship refased to aimit such evidence, saying that the law of the church and the Jaw of the land wers two entirely distinct and separate things. He added: ‘We have nothing to say to that; that isa matter for her con- science. We cannot consider any penalties that her religion may impose on her. We cannot receive evidenea of canon law. He would direct the jury that on the evi- dence and the letters there was this un- derstanding, that the marriage would not take place without the dispensation.**

Mr. Sullivan asked witness whether a Catholic could marry a Protestant in England without a dispensation.

This question was also disallowed.

Mr. Sullivan—Wovld a Catholic girl marrying a Protestant without a dispen- sation, be, by the laws of her church, liy- ing in sin?

His Lordship disallowed the question,

In charging the jury his Lordship said, with regard to the plaintift’s proposal to change his religion, there was n thing in it to taunt him with. A great many men have changed their religion, and althouzh adetective was put on the plaintiff’s track in Liverpool, nothing had been dia- covered against him. His character re- mained unimpeached, It was for the jury to say whether the sixponce lodged in court was enough to satisfy or com pen- sate this man for the admitted breach of contract that had besn entered into with him

After an hour and a quarter's delibera- tion, the jury returned into court, the foraman announcing that tie jury could not agree to a verdict.
