Now it is almost like sawdust. Bran, you know, is the outer shell of a grain of wheat. When wheat is ground the inte- rior pulverizes into flour. The shell don't The whole product is sifted in silk sieves oalled reels, and the flour passes out through the meshes of the silk. The bran which breaks but does not powder remains. In the good old days we hear about, bran was as*d for feed. It was good feed, too, be- oause a quantity of flour adhored to it ever with the most careful sifting, or bolting, oi It is called.\ \ Doesn't the flour adhere to the bran in the new prooess of grinding 7\ \ Of oourse it does, but a man in the western part of the State, having the love of riohes and a knowledge of patent laws be- rore his eyes, invented a maohine for taking the flour out of the bran. It consisted of »n upright oylinder of fine wire oloth, twe feet In diameter by four feet in length, properly supported by a frame on tae out side. Inside of the cylinder were placed hair bruahos about us long as the cylinder. They wore secured to a central shaft by arms long onough to make the brush come aut olose to the wire oloth. They were made adjustable so they oould bo shoved out as they wore away. They were revolved at from 250 to 400 revolutions a minute. The bran was fed in between the brushes and the wire oloth and the specs of flour were rubbed off aud out through the oloth in a Jiffy. A wooden oase kept the stuff from flying all ovor tho mill and a spout convey. •d it to n bin. An uutomntio knocker kept It from ohokiug up between the case and the wire oloth. After a time it was apppar- »nt that some kinds of bran made the oas* 1 well, and thoy made it an ironclad machine, and there it U oomplete as a bran duster.' 1 \Poor sort of flour oame from it, out' would think.\ \ It WM not genuine sea spray, of oourse but it was flour Instead of chicken feed.\ '' Did the inventor spend his few remain Ing years overcoming the prejudice of mil lers, and die of a broken heart and too mucL bran duster ?\ He didn't. He built his machine in as great numbers as limited means and a look of sympathy among fellow townsmen would permit. He took it to millers near about and said : ' This is a good maohine. It will pay for itsolf in six months, and will last for years.' Then the miller would feel sorry tor th* enthusiast and say he didn't n**d any new maohinery. The inventor had exp*ot*d that, and would say : ' I know what I am about. I will put the maohine ia th* mill at my own expense If you wil] sand to me sll th* flour you get from it dur Ing a year's work by running all yon/ bran through th* machine. I'll pay the freight! on the flour. You can send the flour to me at the end *f *ooh month.' That looked like a fair proposition, and the miller took it up nearly every time. By and by ths maohine was in place, and the bran was going In grsy and coming out block, whilt s smalt stream of flour was running awaj to s bin with m p«r*b)t«noy that in a day 01 two b«oame alarming to the miller.\ \ Why F\ \ Because it mode suoh a heap in the bin. The zuillnr calculated that the machine over ID the corner was making a pound of flour iry bushel of grain that ran through ' itonos. Where the miller turned ity-flve or one hundred barrels of flour a day, that w u quite a heap. A little figuring showed that tho flour at the end oi the month wonld pay for the maohine.\ 1 ' How much in cash was that ?\ \ From f>200 to $500, according to th« mpe/ilty. When he saw that he had agreed to pay twelve prices for the maohine, he rxtgan to pay attention to a postscript to the contract whioh said that if the miller wai to oMh up inside of thirty days he could do to. Jin oashotl up nvory time.\ \ The inventor had it all his own way \ Not oiftfitJy. There are half a dozen varieties of tho machine, owned by different rnanufAntiirnrs, and there is competition in live trade. HUH, the man I tell you of is a napiullat instead of a wage worker, and Umt'« morn than most inventors have ao- romplishnd.\ WOMEN SEA CAPTAINS. Mrs. Mary A.

One must hear Mr. Evarte to appredaU his peculiar style of oratory. He does not read nearly so well in type. The meaning of his many long and involved sentences are not so clear when read as when heard This is because of the difficulty of properly punctuating him and the absence of that emphasis and inflection whioh he makes so dear in the delivery of bis ideas. And to hear him at his best one should listen to him s» political topics rather than in a legal argument or an after dinner speech. I have heard many speak of him as if trader th* impression that he was a cold, grave, sedate, even austere man. On the contrary, he i* full of fun; has the finest sense of humor, and is altogether \ a feljow of infinite jest and most excellent fendy.\ In' a political harangue he has the best opportunity for the display of his fine wit and'his severe yet always good-natured satire; it crops out, of course, in every after-dinner speech, how- ever trivial or impromptu the oooasion, and It cannot be repressed by him even in a long and argumentative discourse -regarding the mental condition of a dead client, suoh at he has been delivering for a few days post before Surrogate Kollins. It is probably a willful waste of eloquence in whioh he hat been indulging, for the Surrogate doubtless long Binoe made up his mmd whether or not the late Mr. James Stokes was a competent testator; but it has, of oourse, to be made. Whoever \ stuffed \ Mr. Evarte for this oc- casion with hia foots and testimony did not suooeed as well as his associates usually do, and getting confused as to some evidence the ottter day he quietiy adjourned the court until he oould get the facts straightened ont I remember onoe seeing a witness do the same thing. He was 8amu«l J. Tilden. Judge Noah Davis was the sitting Judge, and the case was the People against William il. Tweed. Mr. Tilden had delivered, ia answer to a question, a long explanation of an elaborate table of figures showing how the ring divided the $6,000,000 Court House steal, aad the counsel then asked another important question. Mr. Tilden took. hU watch from his pocket, looked atitoudihen the court house clock, and sold, \This ia about our hour for recess.

Aocording to the report of several Eng. lish railway companies, recently published, there have been no less than $15,000,000 expended for legal fees and \legislation\ during the past year. That bribery upon a large scale is daily committed in the House of Commons is a fact suspected by every, body \ about town,\ exoept fools and pa- triots. Yet, with this grave suspicion hang- ing over them and the necessity whioh Ihe law places them under of having to go to the people for votes to elect them, the social abyss between these rich men, or these tools of rich men as the cose may be,' and. the poor electors who are not suspected of ' bribery and who have no suffrages to ask, is so profound that exoept on polling days - the olasses never meet There is not the remotest chance of a poor man getting per- mission to enter the galleries of the Com. mons. Out of th« 6,000,000 inhabitante of London there ore probably not five poor men who have* ever been within the House of Commons. Indeed, there are some parts of London where the poor are not allowed to use the street*, for fear that their wretch- ed apparel and appealing looks might affect the sensibilities of the noble residents there, on. Such is the case hi some parts of Bel. gravia ord between Oxford' street\and the northern railway station, where gates and bars, amenable to ^slightes t touch of the rich, are firmly closed to the passage of th* FARMING IN MEXICO. Very little progress has teen mode in it* methods of fanning in Mexioo, many of OM implements being crude and of a pattern in use centuries ago.
