HOW STARCH IS faALE. Process by Which It Is Washed Out or the Potato Pulp. The amoi;::t of sLirch obtained from a bane . ol p.iaioes depends upon the wa.- e in them. One fac tory in Maine is turning out an average of eight tons of starch every twenty-four hours, running two shifts, seven days in the week. The potatoes are hauled into the upper story of the plant and dump ed into bins. In a passageway be tween the receiving building and the machinery building a man sits and feeds the potatoes with a wood en paddle into the long chute from the bins behind him and round him. The potatoes are carried through a revolving tube under a heavy pres sure of water from three streams pumped from the brook. They re ceive a thorough washing before they pass on to the grater. The grater is a cylindrical tube of iron with a casing of wood, forty two inches long, twenty inches in diameter, over which are nailed thin strips of iron, perforated, mak ing a surface like a file, which, pass ing very close to the falling pota toes, grinds them as the cylinder revolves. From the grater the potato pulp passes over a constantly moving screen, upon which three streams of water fail, the starchy material being washed through the screen, and the waste pulp is shaken off the screen into a trough, whence it is carried away. From under the screen the starch and water is car ried through a network of troughs of several lengths and levels into four large vats. The irregular starch granules sink to the bottoms of the vats, forming a white, sticky paste. The full vats are left until the next morning. When the starch has settled the water is drained off into the smaller vats, where it receives an agitating and then is allowed to settle. It leaves a small deposit of starch. The starch is now shoveled from the large vats into the small vats and agitated a given time by the watch in fresh water, allowed to set tle, and the water is again drained off. The starch is then shoveled up in baskets and drawn up to the second story. Tn the second story it is hauled in large wheelbarrows across the Overhead bridge to the second story of the drvhouse. Here it is spread out n.aon a floor of slatwork and as ral e< over until it falls thrmigh th' 1 slat f-rovi n ?s upon the H'V'Lr 1 “I ( )'\ . jj FlO'i «hovelo:] inlo great beans n:r;l the building is full.

L The Mighty Amazon. he estimated length of the Ama zon. to where it debouches in a mouth forty miles wide into the At lantic is 4,000 miles. The story is told of a wrecked vessel which was drifting, with her crew on board suffering intense torment for lack of fresh water, which entered the mouth of the Amazon and the suf ferers could have had fresh water simply by putting a bucket over the side, but did not know where they were until they got in sight of the land. This mighty river, up which the tide goes 400 miles, is known in the upper part of its course near the Andes as the Maranon, then in the middle course, from Tabatinga to the mouth of its chief affluent, the Rio Negro, as the Solimoes, while for the rest of its course its name is Amazonas or Amazon. A thousand miles from the sea it is four miles in width. Fitz Gerald’s Vision. Edward Fitz Gerald, who was among the least superstitious of men, once had a similar experience to that of Captain Marryat. The in cident is recorded in “Tennyson and His Friends.” Fitz Gerald “told a story of a vision; how he had one day clearly seen from outside his sis ter and her children having tea in his dining room. He then saw his sister quietly withdraw from the room, so as not to disturb the chil dren. At that moment she died in Norfolk.” Restlessness. Mere restlessness is not a matter for which physicians are often con sulted. It is on the face of it an unimportant malady, but when it exists in sufficient intensity to form the subject of complaint and to in duce the sufferer to seek advice it is usually found to be the superficial indication of a grave underlying condition. —Hospital.

Fire at Mr. Culpepper's. A fire originated on the roof of Mr. M. N. Culpeppers's home, on South Green street, Monday after noon, from sparks blowing onto the roof. The fire company responded promptly and soon had the blaze under control. The house was damaged about $5.00. Back After Vacation. Miss Maude Whelchel has re turned to resume her duties at the Newman - Frierson - McEver Co's store after a vacation of two months. Miss Whelchel will be glad to have her friends call and see her at any time. Real Heroism. To live well in the quiet routine of life; to fill a little space because God wills it; to go on cheerfully with a petty round of of little duties, little avocations; to smile for the joys of others when the heart is aching—who does this, his works will follow him. He may not be a hero to the world, but he is one of God’s heroes.—Dean Far rar. Kind of Boy He Liked. Mother —Is James a nice boy for you to play marbles with, sonnie? Sonnie —Sure.
