Steven's Itoller l'rocess Mills.
, On last Saturday we visited the
flouring mills of Mr. S. N, Stevens
on llomioy creek, about 4 miles
South-west of the city. Having
never seen the roller process' in
operation, we hid some curiosity
to know Just how flour was made
by that 'process. We were very
kindly shown through the mills by
Mr s 3terenB, Jr., and the ex
perienccd Miller, Mr. J. A. Hen-
drick. The wheat is first put into
a hopper, then nass tnrv igu iue
fixsf ;set of rollers, which barely
crack the grains. It is then taken
through another set of rollers.
After passing through the second
set, it is about ns course as fine
hotniuy grits. After this it is
passed through .course bolting
cloth, mis separates ine Draua
and finer particles Of the grain,
jwhich is then passed through two
other sets of rollers and thence to
the bolting cloths again. This
process makes the second, third
and fourth grade of flour, while
the coarser, or ceoirai portion oi
ihe erain is passed through the
burrs and is then taken through
I the fine bolting cloths, or meddling
machine, which makes the very
best roller process flour. The
j 1
machinery is 01 uie iaie auu ot

' . ' " '
addition to nis roner process uour
mills, he also makes an excellent
quality of corn meal.
Mr. Stevens, who originally came
from Charleston, S. C, has been in
the mill business about seventeen
years, though he has only been
using the roller process about
twelve months. Ho is doing a very
large business and is giviug great
satisfaction to , his ' customers and

'The citv has been Vi aeo2 the
tat week with the why and where-

from the postoflice. There should
be no such anxiety on the part of o
many persons to rend their linen over
the action of our postmaster. He
evidently understands that his com-

change, and in doing so gives the
people efficient service, whose busi-

The above editorial, which ap-
peared in the last issue of Town
Topics, is calculated to do Mr.
Moore a gross injustice, iu that it
leaves the impression that he was
removed for inefiiciency. Such is
not the case. Mr. Moore has been
in charge of the money order de-
or.
year gud we are informed that
there bas never ben an instance
wbere one of his reports was sent
back from the department for cor-
ration. This is certainly a very
extraordinary record for efficiency.

as we believe it is, the public gen-

This plain;1 from -El Me jdel (ancient
Magdala) fo KUari -Meiryeh. is one of
the most- highly favored spots in the
world from the -agricultural 'standpoint.
Well might Jose-ppus speak of it as "the
ambition .of nature;" there never was
more fertile j soil, and. copious springs,
send perennial; streams meandeiing in
every.. -direction.-. ' Tliis spot wilL be a
mine of gold to some wise capitalist- as
soon as a good gorernment will guaran
tee perfect secui-ity. ' The thorn trees
which we met at Jericho seem to thrive
along the whole; course of - the Jerdan,
and are every whore', the home of nu-
merous
eons.

Americans info:
mi us that about
220
species, of weeds have been, imported into
Iteefcr entjr, mostly froi the British
islands. In 1837 there were said to be
only J37. I ' The Icommon plantain is
knowi aming the Indians as ' the "Eng-
glishmah's foofr," as though following
the. steps; of- the white settlers. The
common yellow toadflax was, it is said,;
introduced by a Mr. Ranstead as a gar
den flower, and is now known as the
Ranstead tweed' In 1788, it had overrun
the pastures in .the inhabited parts of
Pennsylvania, and was the caude of bit
ter complainta, . ; 1 - ' N
Chick weed is said to have been intro-1
duced as bird-seed, and the Scotch this
tle arrived iu a bed tick filled with thistle
down. I Feathers being cheap, the bed of
down was replaced by feathers, and ( the
former thrown by ;the wayside. ' The
seed soon found a congenial home. There
is a ti'ouolesame American "water-weed,
however (Anacharis alsinastrum), which
has . avenged our transatlantic cousins
threefold by choking our ponds, , rivers
siiid canals. Another little intruder from
the cape (azolla pjinnata) may be trouble-J
some. : It is a charming little aquatic,
and most interesting under the micro
scope. Some one; had 'thrown a ' hand
ful of it on a ponjl we wot of, where the
common '' duckweed (lemna) flourislied;
but ! azolla quickly monopolized i the
whole surface an crowded out the duck
weed. Chamber s Journal, i I

Every ir.dhiuual must be regarded as
a very complex mingling . of widely dif
ferent bloods: Td q no farther back
than the grand parents, he j must Decom
posed of at least ( fourteen, d liferent na
tures. It i hot to, be wondered at -that
such & - multiplicity of ' combinations
should; lead to"! great variations. j,The
wonder seems raiher that ! members of a
family should resemble ; oiuj anoiher a
nrach as they undoubtedly do. Some
times hi fat, sometimes in form; fre
quently in the gait, gesture, and tone of
voice, family ;' peculiarities make them
selves apparent. -To m.any of these traits
Mr. Francis Qalon has devoted his at
tention. His latest interest ; has been
sliown in the color of the eye . The , tints
it the eye, for the purposes of hi3 in-
quiry, were divided into "light,'' "hazel
and dark gray and . aarfc, lne
