FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 188!) | hint unless he buys them llow many let I ters have you had from him?" "A hundred, more or less " "Aud how many things bad he slaugh- j lered iu themf "None, excepting his grammar aud his spelliug"?for iu truth Blazer's disdaiu of the elegances of style is quite as marked as his euthusiasiu for the liattuu and the chase. "Well," said Whipster, "I'll not make a bet with yon. I dou't believe in inveig- ling men into dead-sure things." A year bad elapsed since we had Blazer saudwiched between his gun cases aud ammunition chests ou the "Madagascar.' His final communication came from Mau- dalay, I believe, where he was having a glorious time; "finest climate in the world," aud all that. Of the forest nnd the jungle he had, however, nothing to say. If he had been sojourning in Loudon or iu Paris he could not have recorded a more uneventful and matter-of-fact exper- ience. Consequently, when a Custom House cart one day delivered at my d<»or a case which proved to be stuffed with tiger skins, lion fells, aud a choioe assortment of minor peltries, I was to be pardoned for experiencing a spasm of a*toni*hment. I had not yet recovered from it when Whip- ster arrived, with tho news of a similar consignment to himself. ' The beggar must have bought out the TUT UllirKlT, Lino ...\u25a0\u25a0l - "I'd give a pouy to kuow what he wilt tell us about thorn when he gets homo." It was a mouth or more before Blazer followed his souvenirs iu pers on. Theu came a brief note announcing that lie was back, aud that we were to diue with him that eveuiug, at his house in town. \Ye found hiui,iu nothing different from the old Blazer beyond a trifle of sunburn, al- ready unpacking his arsenal, while his mau burst the lids of the cases aud drew the uails. The hall aud the parlours were littered with the stock of a wholesale fur shop, and tho air was musty with the the odour of a menagerie. "Ureal collection, eh?" said Blazer,when be had greeted u* iu his best form. "That's the sort of thing that is worth a trip around the world, eht" "Rather," replied Whipster. "You must have bad great sport." "Royal," answered Blazer. "Just royal." "Nothing but big game, eht" Blazer smiled complacently and respond- ed: "Not a hair." "Now, that lion there," remarked Whip *ter, critically, "must have given you a \u25a0mart scramblo." "Seven shots," replied Blazer, grabbiug up the skin to show us the holes, through which he poked hi* finger with a contented expression. "Came across liiui one luotn- iug just after daylight. I only had my tiger guu with me, but my men peppered him with their Henrys till he caved in." "Oh," said Whipster, dryly. "And did you have your tiger gun when you bagged that Beugalf" "I was out for olephaut* that day," re- plied Blazer, calmly, "but uiy meu fetched him. There's eleveu holes iu his overcoat" Count 'em." "Never mind," said Whipster. "I'll take your word fur tile number of holes. Any elephants!" "Two. Got thoir tusk* iu that long box in tho hall." "And who shot theint" "Nobody. We trapped theui iu pits aud gave 'em poisou." "Well, by Jove!" cried Whipster. "Did you shoot anything yourse'ff" "Oh, yes," replied Blazer, placidly. "Two or three of uiy niggors, wasn't it, Simpsonf" "Seven, sir," answered bis man, griu- uing. "Yon hftd yuur nigger gun with you those days, I suppose," observed Whip- ster, sarcastically. Blazer surveyed him with a glauce com- bined of pity and scoru. "Ifyou were half a sportsmau, Whip," he replied, "you'd know that there i* con- siderable difference between meu and beast*. You can kill a man with anything, but if you don't kill a beast with the right metal it's not legitimate spurt."

A certain ovangelist in Western Virginia organized a Sunday School, and by dint of diplomacy obtained u good following of youngsters into whose uucoinbed head* aud pliant hearts he instilled the rudiments of religion. Neither did he spare the cor- rective rod iu case his charge failed to come to taw with the catechism. One Sunday a new arrival was discover- ed over in the boys' corner. He was call ed down betore the teacher aud cross-ex- amined with a view to learning his roligio.it* acquirement. "flow many §ati* are theret" asked the t«*cher, The boy thought a moiueut and ventured the assertion that there were two. "Wrong!" said the teachur. "Three!" "Ob! you must kuow better that that! try again. "How mauy gods are tberef" "Four!" whimpered the boy. "Wrong agaiu!" shouted "I will sive yot\ o.qe more chatico. fl yon don't ftn*y,;ex right this time I'll lau you. Now t fof the last time how uiauy gods are theref" "Five!" wailed the unhappy tow bead. Suiack! Tho teacher gave him a thorough dressing down aud sent hiui from the room in digracc. A belated scholar found hiui sitting by the roadside howling at the top of his voice. "Whayi m»Uor, Jackt" ?\u25a0"teacher licked me." "What fort" " 'Cause Ididn't know how many gods there were." "Huh! that's easy enough." "D'you know*" "flow are theref "One, yau rtupid." "One, eh! Well, you just go iu there with your little one god and you'll catch it.

It is evident that many law suits and unpleasant business differences, aud con- siderable loss of money, could be avoided by cxplicituca* in asking and giving prices, iu ordering, aud in making statements, either oral or writteu, regarding the details oftrausaction*. Kick* and complaints are very common in the lumber business, says the Lumberman, and it applies equally to business transaction* of every kind. Tronb- le arises from misunderstandings that might easily have been averted by care- fulness at the outset of a deal, while iu other iustances definittness of statement on the part of buyer or seller, iu event of controversy, would have made plain the merits of u case that look* decidedly mix- ed because too much has been taken for grauteil. Inquiries often reach the J.um- ber ma it office regarding the right or wroug of a disputed poiut point involving a rule a or custom, but as a general thing a decis- ion cannot be uiado without going into de- tails that the inquirer omits to furnish. An ambiguous order should never bo given, nor should goods be forwarded ou the iitrongth of it. If there is any opening for a mistake us to the diuieusions or quality of stuff that is ordered, all the points should be definitely stated. Orders by telegraph especially are often too brief, are open lo iniscoustruetiou, or lacking in detail. If goods are so urgently wanted that they arc telegraphed for, it is certain- ly highly important that there should be nothing wrong ou their arrival. The gTQit aim of most porsons iu yriting out a message ss to save a few cent* by boiling it down?an economy that often loses dollars |for the sender. An order by telegram should be made to state exactly what is wanted, 110 matter how many words are required, and then in case of & depute the buyer will have more ground to stand on.

We'll sit beside the river, son, and watch its rapid flow, Aud ifyou do uot change your mtud we rapidly shall go To where there liaugs a beateu strap with- in our humble call, Aud I shall gently take it down ?shall take it from the wall; And those who live within three blocks, ere we have done our quarrel Will tliiuk I'm simply pounding in the beading of a barrel; Aud if they any questions ask I'll say it'» just a lark With oue who wauts to spriug the gag * that sounded iu the ark. Why Some Mills Fail. The two chief causes of failure in flour mills at the present day are bad office man- agement aud wasteful milling. The manu- facture of flour is in different conditions from what it was ten or twelve years ago. Then u man of small ability and limited experience could run a mill with consider- able profit. But those times are, I believe, gone forever. Sometimes a mill started in profitably comes to a turning point and begins to lose moucy. Wheu this is the ease, it will not avail to curse the times and the fluctua- tions of the times. The thing to be done is, by means of frequent balauce sheets iu the office and frequent tests in the mill, to forret out the true cause, and then to apply the remedy. This may involve the dis- charge of a trusted wheat buyer, manager, or head manager, but it is the only thing that will save the enterprise from ship wreck. One of the gravest mistakes that can be made iu milling, and one that has more than once come under my observation, is that of changing, for the sake of a small apparent saving, to a poorer grade of wheat. Let a mill build up by steady ad herence to a high standard of product a profitable home demand amouuting, we will say, to a hundred barrels daily. Then let that mill begin to use iufcrior wheat, putting the product out under the same successful brand, aud iu thirty days its flourishing trade will be kuocked endwise ?just to save three or fonr cents a bushel on wheat. How 33,000 Pounds was Made a Horse Power. When uicu begin tirst to become famil- iar with the metbodsof measuring mochau- ical power, they often speculate on where the breed of horses is to be found which cau keep at work raising 33,000 pounds one foot per minute, or the equivalent, which is familiar to meu accustomed to pile driving Uy hurae power, 330 pouuds 100 feet per lainute. Since 33,000 pounds laised one foot per rniuute is called one bor*e power, it is natural for people to think that the engineers who establish that uuit of measurement ba*ed it on tho actual work perforniod by horses. But that was not the ease. The horse power unit was established by Wutt about a century ago, aud the figures were settled in a curious Watt, iu hi* usual caro- uiuuuir, proceeded to find out the aver- age work which tho horse* of hi* district could perform, and he fouud that the rais- ing 01 pounds one loot per utinnte was about the actual horse power. At this time he was employed iu the mauu- factnre of engine*, and had almost a mo- nopoly of tho engiue building trade. Cus- tomers wcrefso hard to find that all kind* of artificial encourageuieutJ were consid erad nccesswy to Induce power users to | buy KC«am engines. As a method of eu- eouraging buisncss, Watt offered to sell engines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds to a horse power, or one third more thau the actual. And thus, s*y* the Manufactur- er* Go tfltf, what wa* the temporary ex- pedient to promote buisness has been the means of giving a false unit of a very im- portant measurement to the world. The Lawyer and the Robber. A lawyer awoke at midnight to find a robber standing beside his bed and already in posessioit of hi* jewelry and money. "Why, Man!" cried the lawyer uftor a closer look, "are you nQt the rubber whoso case I ;u Court ouly two or three vlays wot" "The very same." "Aud my plea was so effective that the jury acquitted yout" "Tes." "And, alas! you now come V, itik me, ytiur benefactor'" ts business," replied the rob- ber. 1 hired you with cold cash to plead my case. 1 must now Hob to get hack what 1 paid you." ?'But I'll Send you to tot thin!" l,Ul 4 fcopo not. This time spoils enable mo to employ even a better Attorney than you ar««. Oood-bye, old lei?see you later!" iIOKAIj iUcutd always be douo for Hut thin saving ou wheat. I cau show, i.i uot actual. We will take a . r >,ooo bushel lot of good wheat, mill it into flour, and calculate the yieid. Next we will take 5,000 bushels of poor wheat and treat them in like uiauuer. Comparing results wo shall tiud, I am confident, that the first lot hu yielded uot only more ham-la of flour, hut a greater percentage of high grade than the second. I scarcely need add that sue cesal'ul milling to-day hangs on high grade percentage. Another important matter, olteu over- looked by millers, is the proportion of loss or waste to each barrel ot flour. There are mills in which tho total waste averages as high as four pounds to every barrel of flour manufactured, while others there are where it is kept down to one aud a half. Four pounds socui to me a good deal, yet some millers habitually allow for that aver- age of loss without special test. Others mill as though there were no such thing as waste or loss. There is no skill or cunning so great that it can for any long period foist a poor quality of flour upon the market without detection and loss. The public may bo fooled for a time, but sooner or later they will note the (li«?»\u25a0*»»<?«? «»>.i nnnUh th* ile ceit.? Roller Milt. Answered Correctly. A teacher iu one of the public schools of Detroit was giving a lewon on patriotism. The children seoined to know very little about Washington except the hatchet sto- ry and the fact that he was a ffreat and good Tnan, which they had read in the second reader. At la*t the teacher said: "You stay home from school on W ash- Ington's birthday, but you never do so on my birthday. Why not?" And with surprising emphasis came the answer: " 'cause he never told a lie." ?Mr. llitter, of South Bethlehem, thought marriage a failure and now he entertains the 6ame opinion of elopement. He deserted his wife for a charmer, who within six hours robbed him of SBOO aud put the police on his track. He i* now in jail. November.

The farm Journal says that a Veil raised pig of from 150 to 180 pounds, dress ed at 8 or 9 months old, is the best eating that can grow in that sort of hide, and that the days of the heavy pigs are nam bered.

The ground being kept dry, trees will endure the cold better. Wtdl-cured hay is nearly as concentrated as grain iu proportion to weight. Com contains about 10 per cent ot moisture and hay about 15 per cent, but hay eontaius three times as mnch mineral matter as corn and much more nitrogen llay. bow ever, cnutajiis ten times as much crnde fibre as corn and leas fat. Food i» best wheu it contain* a variety of constituents, Phosphate* supply the growth and waste of the bones, organic matter rich in gluten, albumen, legumen. etc., are the flesli formers, aud matter con laining sugar, xtarch or oil, supply the car- bon, or fat. The food, to be perfect, mnst contain all the elements necessary for the objects songht. Improved stock requires improved food That is, the beat stock is that which re- quires good care and management instead of being compelled to pick np a meal where it can be obtained with difficulty. Im proved stock, whether full bred or grades, give good results only when the opportun- ity for no doing is afforded. When tha scrub is abandoned the methods of keeping the scrub should be discarded also. Feed ing has largely contributed to the develop- ment and improvement of all classes of stock, aud judgment in that direction will still permit of further progress luporrAVCß or Xitbook* is Yioeta Tiosr. Scientists h tve long diligently worked over the problem of the fixation of nitrogen, which (to make plain to those who inay not hare given the subject con- sideration) means the procurement or utilization of the free nitrogen of the at- mosphere as food for plants. The air is composed of nbont four-fifths nitrogen, which is in a free or uncombined condition. If it could be cheaply combined with some other element it wonld provide all that the fanner conld wish ot that character, but as it seems to avoid combinations the free nitrogen of the atmosphere is yet beyond the utilization of agriculturists except *n far as the plants are able to appropriate ,t. The object on the part of scientists is to de- termine ifplants have the capacity to ap propriate free nitrogen directly from the air. La we*, Gilbert, lterthelot, Wilforth and Hcllriegel have made experiments extend ing over a period of many years, bnt they have failed to discover any evidence show ing that the free nitrogeu enters directly iuto the combination of any class of plants, lterthelot fonnd that free nitrogen was brought into combination by argillaceous soiUwhen exposed iu their natural condi turn, and that there was fixation dne to livingorganisms. These gains of nitrogen explain how argillaceous soils eventually become vegetable molds, and other experi ments made in France demonstrate that micro-organisms play an important part in such processes of combination, that elec- trical discharges in the atmosphere of cer tain temperatures effected the result, and that when the air is charged with electricity orgauk- matter absorlted nitrogen and oxygen and effected combination, but re suits were not favorable to the supposition that the plants themselves effected tiia tion. That combinations occur under favorable condition* are supposed by the gain of ni trogen in the soil, evidences pointing to two actions in the soil, one liberating nitro gen aud tho other bringing it into combi- nation. There are several combinations to be considered, and their sources do not de pend on the free nitrogen alone, as they already exist, among them being ammonia and nitric acid (compounds of nitrogen) and the gain of these substances may lie from the atmosphere and yet not from tree nitrogen, but it is admitted that certain plants and soils, under certain conditions, may avail themselves of nitrogen brought into combination under the influence 01' lower organisms. The farmer is interested in the studr of this subject for the reason the knowledge of the best conditions favor able, aud the action of certain plants on the soil, he will be better enabled to take advantage of such and increase the fertility of the soil by green manurial crops. Song of Ye Olde Pedagogue. 'Twas a Jolly old pedagogue. long ago, Tall and slender, and sallow and dry; _ His form was bent and his gait was slow, And his long thin hair was white as snow. Hut. a wonderful twinkle shone in his eye; And he sang every night as he went to bed. "Let us be happy down here below; The livingsboold live thongh the dead be dead.' Said tho jolly old pedagogue, long ago. ?jMinl Pome Delay always induces ultimate trouble and especially is this trne in its applica- tion to tho human system.

AN KNULIMM fiKKTCB. '?lt is rather a large gun," Mid 1. "Ah!" replied my friend Ulater, iu tho*e accents of satisfaction that no effort of tha will can conceal, "thai is my gr'utlf bear gun. You want to nee iu/ elephant gun, dear boy." lie hail it in a leathern uaae iu the corner uudcr a rack loaded with fowling-piece*. All around us were racks aud case* filled with firearms of every possible model?- breech-loader* aud muzzle loaders, single barrels, double barrels, and inagaiine gnna, garnished with a ferocious trimming of re- volvers of all calibres and knives whose vicious glitter gave one a cold chill. And Blazer, moving among theao instrument* of destruction with the proud tread *f a master, had a poem to sing in praiso of each, and un epic to honour thoir exploits "The art of sportsinauship," said Hater, with a somewhat pedantic air, "is *i be- ing prepared for any emergency and equip- ped for any game. A good worknuu re- quires good tools, you know." "Quito true," I replied. "But way he not sometime* have so many tools that he finds it difficult in un emergency <o lay his hands on the right one?" "Pooh, Pooh!" returned Biajur; "that ia pure sophistry." He unbuckled U>» elephx<* guu Iu iw cose, and after a violent struggle, which tinted his face a fine royrt purple, he ex- tricated it from its stout invelpe, and set forth for we to admire. 1 say set it forth literally, lor he had to wst its massive stock upou the lloor while he pautod for breath. The barrel, of fine blue black steel, su which purple tiread* glistened, was of about the bulk of a weaver's beam. The breech block was a massive piece of uiutal, tempered to an iridescent splendor, aud when Blazer threw it back and reclos- ed it to demonstrate the operations of it* mechanism, it sounded likotlie shutting of an iron door. "That," said Blazer, iu a voice quivering with the triumph of possession, "is some thing like a gun, eh?" I suggested that it was more like a can- non, at which Blazer "pooh-potted!" agaiu, | and, having gained hi* second wind pro- ceeded to exhibit the management of his treasure at length. He went through the operation in dumb show of aiming and fir- ing, of recovering, reloading, and firing agaiu. The moisture of arduous labour Btood iu beads upon his brow. Hi* elbow* shook with the nervous strain, and hi* knee* quivered. 1 suppressed the expression of un opin- ion tbut it would require un elephant to carry thi* massive machine into the field, and a gun carriage to prepare it for its an- nihilatory use. It is well for friendship not to presume upou its privileges, you kuow, especially when a friend's wine is good, and his cook the possuewtr of a spec- ial gift. Coming fresh from the inspection of Blazer's armoury into the hall, it was quite natural that 1 should look upon a pile of game that his man was sorting over as a trophy of his prowes* in the preserves. The man noticed me watching him, while I selected a cigar from the box on the side- board, and grumbled something about the way thefce marketuicu do cheat a person, to be *ure. "Why, bless you, ajr," said he, "|ißlf these bird* isn't til for game *oup, aud I'll lay my head they'll be charged for as full feathers." "So you have to get some of your game from market," I answered. The man looked sharply at me and an- swered, with a shrewd twinkle in hi* eye: "Aye, sir, some." Whipster came over from hi* placo as wo sat with our cigar* iu the dining-room, and the subject of sport was renewed. Whipster went iu for a more mode*t game than Blazer. Hp cultivfttwl the «rt of the gentle o)d ".Complete Angler," and owned a private museum of rod* and gaff* and Unding-neta and an art gallery ol creel* aud flies. Where Blazer coverod hi* walls with game panel* and his floors with the fells of wild beasts, Whipster adorned hi* with stuffed and varnished salmon, por traits of gasping trout iu the grass, and greedy black bass rising to their simulat- ed prey, and matting woven of river reeds. "Saw you on tho turf ttya tflorniug," ob- served Whipster. "Have »uy'luckf" ?/Rose a woodcock," replied Bla*er, puff \m very hard at his cigar. "Good fellowt" "Regular beauty," puffing harder than ever. "Got him beret" 'Haw," replied Blfwer, toughing through «k fojj qf smoke. ''No. Fact i», I didn't have my woodoook gun with me." Whipster grinned and winked at me. "If it had beeu yesterday," said he "you'd have fetched him, eht" "You bet," returned Blazer, brisking up. "But, confouud it! when I went out yester- day there was nothing but snipe," "That'* the way with bim," said Whip- ster, a* he walked with me to the station. "He's got a house full of death, aud never kills anything. 1 Volieve ifhe met ft Uou aud bail only hja het*r gun with him, he'd himself be devoured rather than use it. He went out for woodcock yesterday and fuuud nothing but anipe. To-day ha went out for suipe and found woodcock. To- morrow he'll go out for grouse aud find plover." I believe I lauged over thi* idea. At auyrate 1 had forgotten all about it when a mouth later, Blaaer called ou me lu a cloth cap and a traveling suit. V\e an- nounced that his dqctPJ a long yoys£6 for tym M A restorative from tUe uitni'ou* strain of doing nothing, and that he was going on a trip around the world. ''With you were going along, old man," said he. "I'd show you *ouie sport. Egad! I'll wake 'em up, il the ammunition holds out. Come down aud see a fellow off." I fouud him in t. cabin with his annasrj iu covers, cases, aud boxes tbttt'lert tim just room to crawl to bed through. It was evident that ho would have to undres* outside or sleop in hi* clothes, but he was happy in the prospect of depopulating the preserves, forest*, (If?* erts and jungles of would fls iu the beat of spirit* when (he parting bpU wig. .'l'll aeud you a Bengal rug, old man," he shouted, "aud a lion skin fur your *mok- iug-room. Dou't you be astonithed when the box comes." 1 should have been astonished had the box come, but it did not. There came no end of letters from Blazer. Indeed, he almost milestoned hi* way eround tie world with theK; ti»t y&r«" 'purity jfaiiufiittra'uUl'curiously enough, contain- ed no allusion to hi* triumph* in the field.

But I still the ho'«e th"t t 4. tt 4 (<uiuey arotoifd' the world, tva 'rhigh>t! at leakt ou ime rfccamon, happen to have the right weapon in the right place. Whipster, however, was more scep- tical.

"A hundred, more or less"

"Aud how many things bad he slaugh-j lered iu themf

"None, excepting his grammar aud hisspelliug"?for iu truth Blazer's disdaiu of

the elegances of style is quite as markedas his euthusiasiu for the liattuu and the

chase."Well," said Whipster, "I'll not make a

bet with yon. I dou't believe in inveig-ling men into dead-sure things."

A year bad elapsed since we had Blazersaudwiched between his gun cases audammunition chests ou the "Madagascar.'His final communication came from Mau-dalay, I believe, where he was having aglorious time; "finest climate in theworld," aud all that. Of the forest nndthe jungle he had, however, nothing tosay. Ifhe had been sojourning in Loudonor iu Paris he could not have recorded amore uneventful and matter-of-fact exper-ience. Consequently, when a CustomHouse cart one day delivered at my d<»or acase which proved to be stuffed with tigerskins, lion fells, aud a choioe assortmentof minor peltries, I was to be pardoned forexperiencing a spasm of a*toni*hment. Ihad not yet recovered from it when Whip-ster arrived, with tho news of a similarconsignment to himself.

' The beggar must have bought out theTUT UllirKlT, Lino ...\u25a0\u25a0l -

"I'd give a pouy to kuow what he wilt tellus about thorn when he gets homo."

It was a mouth or more before Blazerfollowed his souvenirs iu pers on. Theucame a brief note announcing that lie was

back, aud that we were to diue with himthat eveuiug, at his house in town.

\Ye found hiui,iu nothing different from theold Blazer beyond a trifle of sunburn, al-ready unpacking his arsenal, while hismau burst the lids of the cases aud drewthe uails. The hall aud the parlours were

littered with the stock of a wholesale furshop, and tho air was musty with thethe odour of a menagerie.

"Ureal collection, eh?" said Blazer,whenbe had greeted u* iu his best form. "That'sthe sort of thing that is worth a trip

around the world, eht""Rather," replied Whipster. "You must

have bad great sport.""Royal," answered Blazer. "Just

royal.""Nothing but big game, eht"Blazer smiled complacently and respond-

ed: "Not a hair.""Now, that lion there," remarked Whip

*ter, critically, "must have given you a

\u25a0mart scramblo.""Seven shots," replied Blazer, grabbiug

up the skin to show us the holes, through

which he poked hi* finger with a contentedexpression. "Came across liiui one luotn-

iug just after daylight. I only had mytiger guu with me, but my men peppered

him with their Henrys till he caved in.""Oh," said Whipster, dryly. "And did

you have your tiger gun when you baggedthat Beugalf"

"I was out for olephaut* that day," re-plied Blazer, calmly, "but uiy meu fetchedhim. There's eleveu holes iu his overcoat"

Count 'em.""Never mind," said Whipster. "I'll

take your word fur tile number of holes.Any elephants!"

"Two. Got thoir tusk* iu that long boxin tho hall."

"And who shot theint""Nobody. We trapped theui iu pits aud

gave 'em poisou.""Well, by Jove!" cried Whipster. "Did

you shoot anything yourse'ff""Oh, yes," replied Blazer, placidly.

Be Explicit In Making Bargains.

It is evident that many law suits andunpleasant business differences, aud con-

siderable loss of money, could be avoidedby cxplicituca* in asking and giving prices,iu ordering, aud in making statements,

either oral or writteu, regarding the detailsoftrausaction*. Kick* and complaints arevery common in the lumber business, saysthe Lumberman, and it applies equally to

business transaction* of every kind. Tronb-le arises from misunderstandings that

might easily have been averted by care-

fulness at the outset of a deal, while iuother iustances definittness of statementon the part of buyer or seller, iu event ofcontroversy, would have made plain themerits of u case that look* decidedly mix-ed because too much has been taken forgrauteil. Inquiries often reach the J.um-ber ma it office regarding the right or wrougof a disputed poiut point involving a rule aor custom, but as a general thing a decis-ion cannot be uiado without going into de-tails that the inquirer omits to furnish.An ambiguous order should never bo given,nor should goods be forwarded ou theiitrongth of it. Ifthere is any opening fora mistake us to the diuieusions or qualityof stuff that is ordered, all the points

should be definitely stated. Orders bytelegraph especially are often too brief,

are open lo iniscoustruetiou, or lacking indetail. Ifgoods are so urgently wantedthat they arc telegraphed for, it is certain-ly highly important that there shouldbe nothing wrong ou their arrival. ThegTQit aim of most porsons iu yritingout a message ss to save a few cent*

by boiling it down?an economy thatoften loses dollars |for the sender.An order by telegram should be made to

state exactly what is wanted, 110 matter

Why Some Mills Fail.

The two chief causes of failure in flourmills at the present day are bad office man-

agement aud wasteful milling. The manu-facture of flour is in different conditionsfrom what it was ten or twelve years ago.

Then u man of small ability and limitedexperience could run a mill with consider-able profit. But those times are, I believe,

gone forever.Sometimes a mill started in profitably

comes to a turning point and begins to losemoucy. Wheu this is the ease, it will not

avail to curse the times and the fluctua-tions of the times. The thing to be doneis, by means of frequent balauce sheets iuthe office and frequent tests in the mill, to

forret out the true cause, and then to applythe remedy. This may involve the dis-charge of a trusted wheat buyer, manager,or head manager, but it is the only thing

that will save the enterprise from ship

wreck.One of the gravest mistakes that can be

made iu milling, and one that has more

than once come under my observation, isthat of changing, for the sake of a smallapparent saving, to a poorer grade ofwheat. Let a mill build up by steady adherence to a high standard of product a

profitable home demand amouuting, we

will say, to a hundred barrels daily. Thenlet that mill begin to use iufcrior wheat,

putting the product out under the same

successful brand, aud iu thirty days itsflourishing trade will be kuocked endwise?just to save three or fonr cents a bushelon wheat.

How 33,000 Pounds was Madea Horse Power.

When uicu begin tirst to become famil-iar with the metbodsof measuring mochau-ical power, they often speculate on wherethe breed of horses is to be found whichcau keep at work raising 33,000 poundsone foot per minute, or the equivalent,which is familiar to meu accustomed to

pile driving Uy hurae power, 330 pouuds

100 feet per lainute. Since 33,000 pounds

laised one foot per rniuute is called one

bor*e power, it is natural for people to

think that the engineers who establishthat uuit of measurement ba*ed it on thoactual work perforniod by horses. Butthat was not the ease. The horse powerunit was established by Wutt abouta century ago, aud the figures were settledin a curious Watt, iu hi* usual caro-

uiuuuir, proceeded to find out the aver-

age work which tho horse* of hi* districtcould perform, and he fouud that the rais-ing 01 pounds one loot per utinnte

was about the actual horse power. At

this time he was employed iu the mauu-factnre of engine*, and had almost a mo-

nopoly of tho engiue building trade. Cus-tomers wcrefso hard to find that all kind*of artificial encourageuieutJ were considerad nccesswy to Induce power users to

| buy KC«am engines. As a method of eu-

eouraging buisncss, Watt offered to sellengines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds to a

horse power, or one third more thau theactual. And thus, s*y* the Manufactur-er* Go tfltf, what wa* the temporary ex-

pedient to promote buisness has been themeans of giving a false unit of a very im-portant measurement to the world.

shall tiud, I am confident, that the first lothu yielded uot only more ham-la of flour,hut a greater percentage of high grade thanthe second. I scarcely need add that sue

cesal'ul millingto-day hangs on high gradepercentage.

Another important matter, olteu over-

looked by millers, is the proportion of lossor waste to each barrel ot flour. Thereare mills in which tho total waste averagesas high as four pounds to every barrel offlour manufactured, while others there are

where it is kept down to one aud a half.Four pounds socui to me a good deal, yet

some millers habitually allow for that aver-

age of loss without special test. Othersmill as though there were no such thing as

waste or loss.There is no skill or cunning so great that

it can for any long period foist a poorquality of flour upon the market withoutdetection and loss. The public may bofooled for a time, but sooner or later they

luporrAVCß or Xitbook* is YioetaTiosr. Scientists h tve long diligentlyworked over the problem of the fixation ofnitrogen, which (to make plain to thosewho inay not hare given the subject con-sideration) means the procurement or

utilization of the free nitrogen of the at-

mosphere as food for plants. The air iscomposed of nbont four-fifths nitrogen,which is in a free or uncombined condition.Ifit could be cheaply combined with some

other element it wonld provide all that thefanner conld wish ot that character, but as

it seems to avoid combinations the freenitrogen of the atmosphere is yet beyondthe utilization of agriculturists except *n

far as the plants are able to appropriate ,t.

The object on the part of scientists is to de-termine ifplants have the capacity to appropriate free nitrogen directly from the

air.La we*, Gilbert, lterthelot, Wilforth and

Hcllriegel have made experiments extending over a period of many years, bnt theyhave failed to discover any evidence showing that the free nitrogeu enters directlyiuto the combination of any class of plants,lterthelot fonnd that free nitrogen wasbrought into combination by argillaceoussoiUwhen exposed iu their natural conditurn, and that there was fixation dne to

livingorganisms. These gains of nitrogenexplain how argillaceous soils eventually

become vegetable molds, and other experiments made in France demonstrate thatmicro-organisms play an important part insuch processes of combination, that elec-trical discharges in the atmosphere of cer

tain temperatures effected the result, andthat when the air is charged with electricityorgauk- matter absorlted nitrogen andoxygen and effected combination, but resuits were not favorable to the suppositionthat the plants themselves effected tiiation.

That combinations occur under favorablecondition* are supposed by the gain of ni

be considered, and their sources do not depend on the free nitrogen alone, as theyalready exist, among them being ammoniaand nitric acid (compounds of nitrogen)

and the gain of these substances may liefrom the atmosphere and yet not from treenitrogen, but it is admitted that certainplants and soils, under certain conditions,

may avail themselves of nitrogen brought

"The art of sportsinauship," said Hater,with a somewhat pedantic air, "is *i be-ing prepared for any emergency and equip-ped for any game. A good worknuu re-quires good tools, you know."

"Quito true," I replied. "But way henot sometime* have so many tools that hefinds it difficult in un emergency <o lay hishands on the right one?"

"Pooh, Pooh!" returned Biajur; "that iapure sophistry."

He unbuckled U>» elephx<* guu Iu iwcose, and after a violent struggle, whichtinted his face a fine royrt purple, he ex-

tricated it from its stout invelpe, and set

The breech block was a massive piece ofuiutal, tempered to an iridescent splendor,aud when Blazer threw it back and reclos-ed it to demonstrate the operations of it*mechanism, it sounded likotlie shutting ofan iron door.

"That," said Blazer, iu a voice quiveringwith the triumph of possession, "is some

thing like a gun, eh?"I suggested that it was more like a can-

non, at which Blazer "pooh-potted!" agaiu, |and, having gained hi* second wind pro-ceeded to exhibit the management of histreasure at length. He went through theoperation in dumb show of aiming and fir-ing, of recovering, reloading, and firingagaiu. The moisture of arduous labourBtood iu beads upon his brow.

1 suppressed the expression of un opin-ion tbut it would require un elephant tocarry thi* massive machine into the field,

and a gun carriage to prepare it for its an-nihilatory use. It is well for friendshipnot to presume upou its privileges, youkuow, especially when a friend's wine isgood, and his cook the possuewtr of a spec-ial gift.

Coming fresh from the inspection ofBlazer's armoury into the hall, it was quitenatural that 1 should look upon a pile ofgame that his man was sorting over as a

trophy of his prowes* in the preserves.The man noticed me watching him, whileI selected a cigar from the box on the side-board, and grumbled something about theway thefce marketuicu do cheat a person,to be *ure. "Why, bless you, ajr," said he,"|ißlf these bird* isn't til for game *oup,aud I'll lay my head they'll be charged foras full feathers."

"So you have to get some of your gamefrom market," Ianswered.

"If it had beeu yesterday," said he"you'd have fetched him, eht"

"You bet," returned Blazer, brisking up."But, confouud it! when I went out yester-day there was nothing but snipe,"

I believe I lauged over thi* idea. Atauyrate 1 had forgotten all about it when a
