Missed EN- Seven Times.

As reporter passed a North Hill
schoolhouse yesterday, says the Burling-
ton Hawkeye, a studious-looking lad
emerged from one of the doors with a
worried expression of countenance and
ambled round to the rear of the build
ing, closely followed by a companion
who popped from behind the fence. The
two sought retired nook where the
studious lad backed up against the wall
and reaching his hand behind him into
that department of a boys clothing
that is patched next after his knees, he
drew forth heavy buckskin init and
again another. As he readjusted his
deranged garments he WINGED trifle,
and rubbing little lower down on his
anatomy gave vent to the remark,
They're pretty good, Jenny, but he
missed 'em seven times"

to put it on the stove. Then, when the
milk gradually approaches the boiling
point, she must pour into it the acetic
acid and the alkali, and when these in
gradients are thoroughly mixed, she will
find that the milk has separated into
coagulations of Olein and casein. If the
milk is pure, no water to speak of will
be found in the can; but if it has been
watered there will be large deposit of
water. Thus she can infallibly tell if
the milkman is honest, or if he is addict
ed to adulterations, and in the latter
case she will of course have nothing
further to do with him. This plan is so
simple, and so perfectly satisfactory,
that Professor Doremus deserves the
thanks of the public for bringing it to
their notice.
Still it may occur to some persons
that when milk has been submitted to
the acid and alkali test it will not be in
precisely the best condition for use. Our
curiosity as to its degree of purity will
be satisfied when we see it separated in
to coagulations of olein and casein, but
when we proceed to make coffee with
olein, or to mix pancakes with casein,
the result will be decidedly unsatisfac-
tory. 1t is very delightful to be told
how to separate milk into cOagulations,
but it still remains to be told how we
are to reconvert the coagulation into
milk again. 1t is by no means certain
that milkman, whose can of milk we
may have thus separated into its COM
ponent parts, may not insist upon dam
ages, while if we buy milk of him first,
and test it afterward, we accomplish
nothing, except the mere qualification
of our curiosity. The more one re-
fleets upon Professor Doremus' test, the
more evident does it become that its
employment necessarily spoils the milk,
whether the latter be pure or impure.
But it would be unfair to find fault with
him on that account. All he intended
to do was to supply us with an infallible
test of the purity of milk. UnquestiOna-
bly, he has done so, and it is not his con-
Germ if people do not like to have their
milk brought on the table in the shape
of coagulated olein and casein.

The Adverse Fortune of q Miner.

John Travis, miner in this coun-
ty, is an Austrian who settled here four
years since, and had, by working for
wages, accumulated $1,000. With this
he started to return to the home of his
youth, carrying most of his gold in a
belt around his person. The journey
across the continent and across the
ocean was made in safety, Hamburg
was reached, and a plank laid for the
passengers to pass from the steamer to
the wharf The plank was at once crowd
ed with those eager to touch the soil of
the Fatherland. 1t broke, and twenty
or thirty poor wretches were precipitat-
ed into the water. Travis was one of
these, and though good swimmer, felt
that the weight of gold in his belt was
dragging him to the bottom. He lOOs-
ened and dropped it, and was one of the
rescued, five being drowned. Then
came the search for the lost treasure,
but it could not be found. Travis then
counted the means he had left-it was
enough to take him on home, or bring
him back to California. And back he
came, and is now again a miner in Am
adOr -A1nIdOr (Cll) LedQeT.

Couldn't Spare Him.

My friend, Col. Richard Wintersmith
says the Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer, was walking
up the Avenue, one day, accompanied
by Mrs. w. and another lady. The
sidewalk was icy. Just in front of
them perambulated perfumed attdche
of the French Legation. Suddenly the
high diplomatic boot-heels struck upon
a particularly smooth spot of ice; there
was a flash of feet in the air, and a
whack of q head with hair parted in the
middle upon the cold and unfeeling
bricks; then a frantic getting up and a
hasty glance around to see who was
laughing. 1t happened that the risibili-
ties of the ladies who accompanied Col.
Richard Wintersmith were excited.
The furious Frenchman produced a
delicate piece of pasteboard from the
pocket of his silk vest, and prOffered
the same to the martial Kontuckian.
"Sare, re ladies you have re honare
to protect. have offer me lie gross ensult.
| sail look to you for re satisfacshong. ="
The Colonel bowed with that peculiar
grace and empreSSenlefn which would
with envy hundred times day, were
he alive to witness them, and respond
cd:
"My dear sir, am very sorry that
you take that view of it, but, if you in
sist on satisfaction, permit me to make
suggestion which have no doubt will
commend itself to your judgment. My
wife has two brothers, either of whom
she could spare more conveniently than
she could me, for | am the only hus-
band she has, and she never could get
another like me if | should be slain. If
it is all the same to you, please hold one
of Mrs. WIS brothers responsible in
this matter"
And the Colonel bowed another of his
overwhelming bows, and passed on,
leaving the astounded little Frehchman
absorbed in blank stare at the nearest
lamp-post.

A New Milk Test.

Professor Doremus demonstrated the
other night, says the New York Times,
that the lactometer is entirely ly useless
for its professed purpose of testing the
quality of milk. That perverse and
mendacious instrument asserts that un-
adulterated milk with its normal guam
tity of cream is less pure than skinned
milk without any cream whatever, and
when an instrument impudently at
tempts to disseminate so monstrous
doctrine, the sooner it is contemptuous'
ly discarded the better.
But Professor Doremus does not come
merely to destroy our faith IN the lac
tometer. He also brings US really IN
fallible test, which will do Just what the
lactometer fails to do. His process !:
so simple that every one can use it. L
the housekeeper wishes to know if th'
milk which she buys is pure, all she ma!
to do is to lay in stock of acetic aeI'
and common alkai. When the milk
man comes to the door, she can ask hin

A VERMONT editor says that man in
Procterville caught pickerel the other
day weighing two and half pounds,
inside of which was another pickerel
which measured nine inches IN length,
and inside of this was still another, five
inches in length. We don't tquestion the
truth of this story. The only remarka-
BILE thing about it is that the man didn't
90 on finding ''inside" pickerels as long
as the inches held out.
