"Hurry up there, and get your tickets,
gentlemen!"' shouted a limn in blue coat
and brass buttons, with l be company's
badge on bis coat.
There was a general scramble for the
head of the line, and a hurried falling back
to less eligible places by those who tailed
6 secure the first.
I never bad any luck in gaining a good
place in a crowd. A tall man, with a high
bat, always would go in between me and
what ever sight was to. be seen. If it
ra'ned at the circus, the inevitable at wo
man, with the green umbrella, always
bounded my horizon. In the ruth to hear
a popular preacher, I have been tortunate
enough to secure a camp-stool at the lat
end of the aisle, but most commonly have
had to put up with "standing room" in the
third or fourth rank, catching here and
there a word of the discourse, but Dot a
glimmer of the sense.
This time I fared as usual. Elbowed
out at every attempt to gain a better lodg
ment, I fouud myself at last at the extreme
end of the queue.
"Hurry up, 1 say!' kept shouting he in
brass and blue.
But in spite of all the line shortened
slowly. I was getting nervous. The
next day was Thanksgiving, which I bad
agreed to spend at Deacon Patchin's be
twecn whose daughter Polly and myself
certain tender negotiations were then in ac
tive progress. To miss the train involved
the choice of either giving up my visit or
waiting several hours piul arriving just in
time to find Polly in the pouts uid take a
longing look at the cold remains of that es
pecial turkey of whose growth in fatness
Polly's postscripts had kept me from time
to time advised.
"Hurry up! less than a minute till the
gate closes!', admonished the blueiand
brazen official as at last 1 reached the tic
ket window.
"Ticket to Huggiusport, I said, hurriedly-
"Two dollars," replied the ticket man,
slapping down his stamp on a piece of card
board with the heel of his hand.
"I've lost my pocketbook." I exclaimed
withdrawing the liaud sent in search of it.
Here was a fix ! I had started with a
liberal supply of the one thing needful for
Thanksgiving at least so far as material
pleasures go and here I was without a
penny to pay my fare, and not half
minute of spare time!
i looked around helplessly.
"i perceive your embarrassment, sir"
said a grave-looking gentleman, whose
white choker and a long skirted coat left
no doubt of his calling "I perceive your
embari assment, sir, and shall be happy to
relieve you of it- Get your ticket out of
this; ou can hand me the change and re
mit the rest,"
As he spoke he placed a twenty dollar
bill in my hand.
'But, my dear sir" I begun.
"Pray don't waste time in compliments.
My name is Hev. Speedwell i?prue, of
Cliapelton, to which address you can remit
the trifling sum advanced. I ask no bet
ter guarantee lhan your countenance."
"1 accept your favor," I replied, "with
warmest thanks." My name is ilodiah
Trimbley, white goods clerk Twist Sc Bob
bin, of this city,"
"Come sir, tlo yau wish the ticket or
not?"uemauded the man at the window,
with his thumb on the spring that held up
the slide.
I threw down the bill, lie hastily
counted out the change and banded me it
and the ticket. The former I passed to the
obliging stranger, whose hand I had bare
ly time to press in parting, as I left him
waiting for another train.
The gatemun was in the act of closing
the passage and the last bell was ringing as
I hurried through and jumped aboard, with
views of human nature considerably eleva
ted by the trusting confidence shown by
the liev. Speedwell Sprue theugh I doub
ted whether it would do to sell white goods
on the same credit system.
from Mr. Sprue and his chiidlike faith
my thoughts gradually turned to Polly
Patchin, and 1 had already laid the grouud
pians of several lairy cottages, in which,
with love and Polly to lend their charm, I
could have laughed at the proudest prince
in his palace.
"DickervLKe '." sang out the conductor,
as the whistle blew and the train slowed up
at the first stopping place.
Two men with lanterns--it was a night
train came bustling through the car,
scanning the passengers ciosely.
"Hal this looks like him," raid one of
then i, holding his lantern to my face.
"Fills the bid exactly !" cried the other
glancing troui me at a paper in his hand.
"Come, sir," he continued, placing a
band roughly on my shonlder. "If I am
cot Ciistaken it was you who bought the
lat ticket for this train."
"It was," 1 answered, looking up aston
ished. "And paid for it with a twenty dollar
bill," he added, "receiving the change."
I acknowledged the fact, but w ith no
abatement of surprise.
"That bill," he proceeded, "was a coun
terfeit, and we've been telegraphed to arrest
you."
I endeavored to expostulate, and ex
plained as well as my contusion would
permit the circumstances under which I
got the note.
"A likeiy story !" was the sneering com
ment ; -there's so many good Mr. Sprues
you see g 'ing about lending money to to
tal strangers. What did you do with the
change now f "
"Handed it back to Mr, Sprue,' I an
swered. "A clever dodge," said one of the men
as the two exchanged winks.
"Come aloDg!" they commanded and
without further ceremony I was hustled
from the train, dragged to a neighboring
calaboose and locked up.
.Next morning I was taken before a jolly-looking
Magistrate whose face was a
guarantee that I should at least have a fair
hearing.
"Well, young cntleman, what haveycu
to say to this?" he began.
I was proceeding with my story earnest
ly when to my great joy who should enter
but my kind friend, Kev. Speedwell Sprue,
in company with a stranger of a very dif
ferent appearance.
'Oil, Mr. Sprue, how g!ad I am to see
you!" I exclaimed. "A word from you
will clear up this unfoitunate affair."
To my great chagrin Mr. Sprue, instead
cf promptly answering my appeal, turned
aside and quite Ignored my presence. But
his companion promptly stepped forward.
"Do you recognize this?" he asked pla
ctae in my hand an article taken from bis
pocket.
1 do!" I cried; "it's my own pocket
book."
"Of which you were robbed by that per
son." he replied, pointing to the Reverend
Sprue, "who.-e real name is AJittb Dawks,
a noted thief aud forger, whom Pre been
locking for. X witnessed his performance
at the depot last night and saw h ) w. after
stealing your pocketbook, be made you the
instrument of putting off a bad note that he
might pocket the change. Though I'm a
detective, 1 didn't interfere, wishing to
follow Dawks to the den in which he works
and keeps his tools, and knowing the worst
thitt could hpen would be your temporary
deteLtion. This morning 1 hurried on,
with the double purpose of securing your
release and your identification of Mr.
Dawks."
I was too late to See the turkey in his
glory, but Polly, bless her I had Eaved
me a nice piece, and the story of my ad
venture was the event of that Thanksgiving
nignt. Everybody laughed but Polly, who
again blets her I was quite indignant
at the wrongs which I had suffered.

The Tarautula f puler.
This name is given to a large spider, ob
served at first in the neighborhood of Tar
entum, in Italy, and for the bite of which
considered poinonous, music and dancing,
were said to be the remedy. Certiin eongs
and airs were solemnly used for the occa
sion, and the tarantula itself danced to the
air of the "tarantella." The truth is that
the bite produced disorders of the uervous
system, with strong convulsive movements,
which was exaggerated into dancing. This
disorder seems to have occurred frequently
in the kingdom ot Naples during the six
teenth century, to have been nearly simi
lar in its character to the disease which was
originally called "St. Vitus' Dauce,""andto
that which has occasionally prevailed in
parts of Scotland, and has been called the
"leaping ague."
The patients, nearly all of whom were
women, soon after being bitten, as it was
supposed, used to fall into a stupor, from
which nothing revived them but the sound
of such music as pleased them, on hearing
which they had an irresistible desire to
dance. So long as the music continued,
and was in tune and sufficiently lively, they
would eo on jumping and dancing till
they fell exhausted, and all the time some
used to shriek, some to laugh and sing,
some to weep. When after a short rest,
they had recovered from their fatigue,
they would agaia begin to dance with as
much vigor as before, unless the music
were played slowly or confusedly, when
they would stop and grow anxious or mel
ancholy ; or even if the music were not
soon made agreeable to them, would.fall
into a dangerous-state of stupor. The dis
ease used to last about four days, and
seemed to be cured by the profuse perspi
ration brought on by the active exercise ;
but it often returned at the same time in
the following year, or even for a succes
sion of years, and on every occasion re
quired the same treatment. The nervous
affection was called the Tarantismus.
Since it has been found that the bite of
the tarantula can produce no such strange
effects as these, many have suspected that
the disease ascribed to it never really exis
ted, but was feigned for the purpose of ex
citing pity, or for the pleasure of d uicing.
There is good reason to believe that in
most instances it was merely counterfeited;
but ttere can be no doubt that such a dis.
eise has occurred, and has given occasion
to the practice of the fraud.
The habits of the tarantula are very cu
rious. Its jaws and feet are large and
strong ; its legs and feet are furnished
with long stiff spurs, with which the ani
mal seizes its prey ; and its foremost two
pair of feet are furnished with a down,
like a brush, which the tarantula employs
in making its toilette, and in crawling on
smooth surfaces; the fett are terminated
by two strong nails. When full grown,
it inhabits underground passages, forming
a burrow sunk to the depth of a foot be
neath the surface ; and this burrow not on
ly protects the animal from the pursuits of
its enemies, but serves it as an observatory
whence it may dart on its prey. At first
the hole sinks perpendicularly, then bends
and forms an almost horizontal elbow, after
which it resumes its direction downwards.
At this elbow the tarantula stands sentry,
lever losing sight of the doorof iud welling ;
aud here the creature's eyes glitter like
diamonds, rendered bright like those of a
cat, by darkness. Externally, the opening
of the tarantula's burrow is surmounted by
a funnel, constructed of pieces of dry wood
united by clay, and lined with a web spun
by the spider, which is continued through
the whole interior of the burrow. This
prevents the fall cf earth, and enables the
arantula by its clans quickly to ascend
cr scale its fortress.
M. Leon Dufour has described the mode
cf hunting the tarantula, mostly in May
and June, at Valencia, in Spain. The
Apulian peasants imitate at the mouth of
the hole the humming of an insect by
means of an oaten stalk, and so lure the
tarantula to the mouth of the burrow, and
capture him. It is easily tamed. M. Du
r put two full-grown and very vigorous
'. e tarantulas together in a glass vase,
and then witnessed a combat fought with
Aondeiful strategy, until the ferocious
vanquisher mortally wounded his enemy
head and then devoured him.
Good Reliable Signs.
"Xo," said the vagrant with a sigh,
"times are getting better, they're not
what they used to be. A man's offered
more work that wittals."
"Haven't you signs amongst you so that
you kniw where to go, and how you will
be treated and all that sort of thing."
"Well, we each have signs of our own.
If I see big, powerful bulldog hanging
around the front door, I take that as a sign
meaning 'move on.' If there are a few
stout men in the next field to the house,
that means too much gristle and too little
meat.' - If large pile of cordwood stands
by a house with a bucksaw reclining
against it, that's sign for 'sawi-edga.'
Oh, yes, we have lota of signs good re
liable signs, too.1
AGRICULTURE.
High Grades Better max Scritbs
it onuta no more to keep a good am
mal than a poor one, and generally not
as much. A niga graue steer, lor in
stance, is ready for market from one to
two years earlier than a scrub. The
object iu raising a steer tor beef, and
now u gei nim w tne diock in the most
desirable form, from the butcher's
standpoint, in the shortest period after
bis birth, and at the minimum of cost
is the leading question for the farmer
or feeder to solve. The high grade
steer is ready for market from one to
two years sooner than the scrub can be
put into that form. The former more
easily digests and assimilates his food
than the latter, and appropriates more
of its nutritious principles. When
ready for market the grade turns the
scale generally at one-third more than
the scrub, the meat Is laid on where
the butcher wants It and Is far better
in quality, hence brings a higher price.
Here is the differe ace in the cost of keep
ing or from one to two years general
ly two and a third heavier carcass,
besides the difference per lb. in the
price of the meat. The truth is, it is
impossible for farmers in the older
Slates, not only in the .bast, but in tne
States east of the Mississippi river, to
raise scrub stock profitably. The
Western cattle-men, whose herds are
counted by thousands, are now ''bree
ding up" their native stock a fact
that makes it imperative upon bis com
petitor farther east, to raise cattle
that are well-bred, that inherit a large
capacity from consumption, digestion
and assimilation of food, and mature
in from two and a half to three years
at most.
The Wild raHsmp. We notice two
or three deaths have taken place
through tne eating or this root, there
fore we give our readers a few details
of the bulb. The botanical name oi
this same root Is pastinax satlva and
it belongs to the odor of umbellifem. It
is a relation of parsley, water hemlock
etc., and Includes several very poison
ous members in its growth. Whether
wild and garden parsnips are not one
and the same thing we are uuable to
find out; of one thing we are certain,
that a garden becomes deleterious the
second absolutely poisonous the third
year, it is this circumstance that
should make persons careful in buying
this vegetable, and in parsnip bedsol
old standing great danger is run, lest
one of the old roots should become in
cluded among the recent growths. The
only certain way is never to plant pars
nips onthesame ground twice running.
Care should also oe taken not to allow
cattle to stray on old parsnips bed, as
many have been killed by want of this
precaution. The treatment in case ol
poisoning consists of producing vomit
ing by means of sulphate of zinc or
tartar emetic together with large
amounts of tepid water as a dilutent.

Improving Poor Laxos. How can
these old fields be made to produce
abundant harvest at a cost that will
enable the crops to pay a fair Interest
on the investment for the labor?"
This question Is a very important one
tor farmers as well as others. Land
has been neglected, and, worse still,
exhausted by repeated cropping with
scourging crops, till the average of our
wheat production has been lowered to
eighteen bushels, some of them to eo
low a yield as to be an actual loss to
(he farmer. There was some excuse
for the system of over-cropping when
the farmer bad to rely entirely upon
the wheat market; but now, with good
markets for meat and wood, butter and
cheese, there exists no longer a plea
tor an uninterrupted succession ol
;;raiu crops till the soil is thoroughly
exhausted. The farmer who would re-
tore to impoverished lands their lorui-
erproductiveness, must teed sheep and
tatten cattle on his land, iiut that
land is eo impoverished that live stock
would starve oa it. Let Lim, then.

the acquiring of a new farm that w ill

in the clearing.
Bbosze Turkeys. The bronze vari
ety of turkeys a cross between the
tame and the wild family is superior
to the corn -non turkeys in size, hardi
ness, and tenderness ot nesn the lat
ter a prevalent trait of wild game.
The male wild turkey, In a fully de
veloped stage, is an imposing looking
bird, often attaiuiug a weight of forty
pounds, or more. The general hue of
their plumage may be called black, but
is often lelieved by a strong bronze or
copper color, giving them a rich ap
pearance wneu tne sunlight falls fairly
upon them. At certain seasons of the
year the male of the wild turkey is full
of ( he fire of battle. Frequently the soli
tude ot the forest will be broken by the
sonorous gobble of defiance. Anou a re
sponse, equally belligerent, will be
heard. Guided by these notes of chal
lenge and acceptance, the parties ra
pidly approach each other, aud when
iu full view tbey rush together with a
startling shock, and the tug of war
commences, it is rational to infer that
an infusionof wild blood would tend to
hardiness, a characteristic in which the
young of the tame variety are greatly
deficient. A brief ramble in wet grass
usually sutnees to finish up a young
tame turkey, while a wild one of like
age will rarely succumb to a kindred
drenching. It is owing mainly to this
uaruiness. ot .constitution the bron

DOMESTIC.
To Mai Vinegar. 1. Boll either
corn, wheat, barley or rye, about one
pint of the grain to a gallon of water,
strain, and to the liquor thus obtained
add syrup or sugar until pleasantly
sweet. Let stand in a warm place.and
you will soon have good vinegar. The
stronger and sweeter the liquor the
stronger will be the vinegar and the
longer In making. 2. Pack In a jar
the skins and cores oi apples made In
preparing pies and sauce, and cover
with boiling water. When another lot
is made, add them aud more hot water
till the jar is full. In warm weather
set the jar In the sun, carefully cover
ed with a cloth ; In cool weather In a
warm place in the house. The apples
do not rot at all. In six or elabt weeks
the water is turned into excellent vin
egar and of an amber color. Xo yeast,
uor spirits, nor acids, nor sugar, nr
molasses are needed nothing what
ever but the skins and cores and water.
Beef brine is excellent for a sprain.
A piece of flannel wet in brine and

It should remain en all night. This
will apply to inflammation of many
kinds. A single drop of camphor on

Home-Made Cocrt Plaster. Soak
isinglass In a little warm water for
twenty-fours hours; then evaporate
nearly all the water by general heat;
dissolve the residue in a little dilute
alcohol, and strain the whole through
a piece of open linen. The strained
mass should be stiff jelly when cold.
Now stretch a piece of silk or sarsenet
on a wooden frame and fix it tightly
with tacks or pack thread. Melt the
jelly, and apply It to the silk thinly
and evenly with a badger hall brush.
A second coating must be applied when
the first has dried. When both are
dry, apply over the whole surface two
or tbre coatings of balsam of Peru.
Plaster thus made Is very pliable, and
never breaks.

HUMOROUS.
On Fourth of July Eph took a tea
box; upon Its green sides he plastered
the papers of Chinese fire-crackers,
exploded Catharine wheels, played out
nigger-chasers, the blank cartridges of
expended Roman candles. Great
king! it was a formidable looking
roachlne. Attached to a bole In the
corner was a foot ot fuse. Eph, after
the construction, took bis diabolical
looking affair out on the Bowery, and
placed It on the car track. He then
stepped back and warned off the first
car. One man Hopped; ten more
baited; one hundred came to a stand
still ; cars strung along for blocks ;
policemen arrived and beat back the
crowd; people rushed up stairs In their
houses, and raised windows in view of
the coming concussion. Once in a
while a stage driver, more venture
some than his fellows, held his head on
one side, shut bis eyes, opened his
mouth, trusted in Heaveu, and lashed
his animals past the infernal machine,
whose fuse burned slowly and surely
toward the dreadful engine of destruc
tion. For blocks the avenue was
crowded. "Fall back," shrieked the
police with uplifted batons. 'A-o-w-w 1'
screamed the women, with Augers In
their ears. The multitude surged
backward as the glowing spark crept
up. .A moment of awful suspense and
"ping!" went a little fire-cracker in
side that big, hollow tea-box. And
Eph, bowing to tbe immediate mour
ners, as If to say "the performance Is
over," picked up the box, and, amid
the execrations of thousands, took him
self and his hoax out of sight.
At Oxford, some years ago, a tutor
of one of the colleges limped in his
walking. Sloping one day last summer
at a railway station, he was accosted
by a well known politician who recog
nized him, and asked if he were not
the chaplain of that college at such a
time, naming the year. The doctor
replied that he was.
"I was there," said his Interrogator,
"and 1 knew you by your limp."
"Well," said the doctor, "it seems
my limping made a deeper impression
on you than my preaching."
"Ah, doctor," he replied with ready
wit, "It Is the highest compliment we
can pay a minister to say that he Is
known by his walk rather than by his
preaching."
A Detroiter has a bright blue-eyed
little niece of 4 years. Tbe other day
he paid her a visit, and she as usual
welcomed him with a fond embrace,
coupled with a smack which echoed
through the room. He presented her
with the customary box of sweets with
the question, "Do you love me little
one t" "Yes, untie, does always sure !"
she replied. After she had 'disposed
of her candy, she climbed upon her vis
itor's knee, aud fondling him for a time
she surprised him with the question,
"Do you love me, too?" "To be sure
I do," was the reply. The little one
paused a moment and then whispered
in his ear. "Well, If you like ue too,
give me all your money."
A lady was entertaining the Bishop

lust atier breakfast.
"Bishop," said he, "would you like
to look at my plggie Dookf "
"Why, yes," replied the church
dignitary, anxious t please the little
fellow.
"Well," whispered the child, "I'll
show It to you, but you'll have to look
at It on the sly, 'cause It's Sunday."
It was all the fault of the news

and he took two more glasses. Still be
couldn't see it, and after taking seven
glasses altogether, he fell down four
steps Into au area, and wis regarded
with a sight of the comet. Bu: he Is
positive that just as hecaught a glimpse
of the celestial visitor it burst Into ten

Artificial fJoaex.
The consumption of honey in
Switzerland is so enormous that gen-
nine bees' honey cannot be procured
In sufficient quantity to meet the de
mand, hence an artificial product,
called "table honey," is extensively
employed. In tin manufacture of this
artificial honey starch sirup and colo
nial sirup are chiefly employed. The
former is imported from France under
the name of "glucose crystallise, "and
is used for the finest quality of table
honey, while the poorer and cheaper
kinds are made by mixing It with cane
eirup or molasses. Water, flour, and
starch are seldom added becauss so
easily detected ; tbe sam Is true of
glycerine. A determination of the
amount of ash does not suffice to dis
tinguish it from real honey unless It is
made entirely from best beet or eane
sirup. The specific gravity furnishes
no better criterion of Its genuineness
Adulteration is more easily detected
by mixing it with alcohol. A solution
of 20 parts honey In 60 of water, when
mixed with alcohol, gives a heavy
white precipitate of dextrine, if glu
cose has been added, while natural
honey only becomes milky under the
same circumstances. The safest method
is to determine the sugar. The grape
sugar Is determined directly in
weighed quantity of honey; an equal
weight of the same honey Is boiled
with two per cent sulphuric aeid, and
the sugar determined after inversion ;
finally .the dextrine Is determined In a
third portion by precipitation with
alcohol. The difference in the quantity
of sugar found before and after Inver
sion Is so great as to furnish a certain
method for distinguishing natural and
artificial boney. He says that the
quanti ty of dextrine will be propor
tional to tbe difference in sugar found
before and after inversion, but this is
not always true, as some glucose con
tains no dextrine, and the composition
of glucose depends ou the method of
Its manufacture.

Starting with his theory that the en
ergy of a bar magnet acts along spiral
lines, Dr. Shettle surmises that tbe
energy proceeding from the sun and
striking the earth on the zone of the
ecliptic traverses tbe earth In a spiral
path, and finally emerges at the mag
netic poles. The spiral oi' energy is
"right-handed" at one pole and left
banded" at the other, like the magnetic
lerce in a magnet, and the electric dis
cbarge in Crooke's vacuum tubes. Like
to precession and nutation, be holds
chat these spiral paths are coastantlv
.lunging and producing magnetic
variations, and he su?iecM thit the
nagnetic poles will complete a cycle
corresponding to the period of preces
sion. Altogether.spiral energy is made
to play a most Important part by Dr.
Shettle. He holds that all bodies ex
hibit magnetic properties just in tbe
Jegree that they are capable of chang
ing the energy traversing them Into
;l:e spiral form. The solar radius on
bis hypothesis would not only be the
cause of terrestrial magnetism, but ol
gravity Itself, as well as a host of other
phcuomeiui, such as those of electricity
n.d those attending tornadoes, cy
clones, water spoutx, etc. Tbe doctoi

rrnjttfor E. C. Pickering, director of
the Harvard Observatory, lately made
i discovery which is regarded, says
the Scientific American, as one of the
nost Important of the century In stel
lar physics. In the ordinary telescope
the star appears as a point of light
brighter, but not larger, than when
looked at with the naked eye. Profes
sor Pickering finds that on plaeing s
prism between the object glass and the
ye-plece of his telescope, the light ol
-i stir Is drawn out into a continuous
band. When, however, the telescope
with the prism Is directed to a plane
wry nebula, the light is collected into
t starlike point with anv band, etia
ollng the astronomer to distinguish in
stantly between the star and a plan.'
tary nebula. This principle has al
ready enabled Professor Pickering to
discover several planetary nebu':. On
Ihursday evening, Aug. 26, an object
was observed which presented the ap
pearance ot two starliko points within
the baud in the modified tele
scope. It is di Here nt from any
hiug heretofore observed in the tele
scope, aud is regarded as an Important
object for investigation.

Among the novel applications of elec
tricty to the Industrial arts Is new stone
dressing apparatus, which Is worked
by a dynamo-electric machine, and
which, tbe inventor claims, will dress
millstones or other stones and drill
rock economically, with rapidity, pre
cision and dispatch. Tbe chisel em
ployed Is fastened to a spring arm
which protrudes from acase containing
magnets and armatures. This spring
arm, when the magnets are connected
with the dynamo-electrlo machine,
moves up and down with extreme ra
pidity, causing the chisel to strike a
blow at each descent. The Inventor
states that it can be made tostrike from
one to two thousand blows per minute.
WIrrs being used In place of steam
pipes, enables tbe apparatus to be
moved readily to any angle or worked
at any reasonable distance without
much less ol power; while not the
least meiitorious portion of tbe whole
invsntion is the borizotal frame or base
to which the electric apparatus is fixed.
This frame Is portable, and by the use
of screws can be so adjusted as to cause
tbe chisel to strike any portion oi a
circle with either a swift or a slow
motion, the number and Intensity of
the blows being regulated according to
the softness or hardness of ihe stone.
By the use of this machine it Is said
that a millstone can be covered in a
very short space of time with the ne
cessary grooves and furrows.havingthe
stralghtness, regularity and parallel
ism so much desired In good millstone
dressing. The apparatus can be work
ed either automitically or by hand, so
as io suit the varying natures of the
stone operated upon.
