Miserable street Crossings

If the city sires could have heard tho
hundreds of pedestrians yesterday who
blessed them and the street crossings, what
few of the latter there are, they would, be-
yond doubt, to say the least of it, been
astonished. AS they plunged through the
mud, which was more than ankle deep,
they gave vent to their feelings in the most
emphatic expressions, and had the police
stood on these crossings so-called, they
could have arrested hundreds of the male
population of this city for using profane
language. The plank crossings are miscra-
BILE excuses and far in inferior to those
made of stone, and are soon covered with
mud. Winter is at hand, and Dallas stands
in need of good crossings more than any.

Festive Ninrods,

Rather rough story is told by one of
their friends on party of Nimrods who
left the city day or two ago for a hunt in
Denton county and who returned yester-
day, bringing home two ducks, three snipe
and two skins which they claimed were
taken from two huge fat bears they had
killed, The ducks and snipe were all right,
unto that of yearling steers, which the in
formant claims the party mistook for deer,
and discovering their mistake, they skinned
them and brought in the hides, passing
them off for bear skins.

How Condensed MIX is Made.


The manufacture of condensed milk is
thus described in the Scientific American:
When the milk is brought to the factory it
is carefully strained, placed in cans or pals,
which are placed in tank of water kept hot
by steam coils. When hot it is transferred
to larger steam-heated open vessels and
quickly brought to boi.: This
preliminary heating and boiling has
for its object the expulsion of the
gases of the milk, which would cause 1t to
foam in the vacuum pan, and also to add to
the keeping quality of the milk by destroy
ing the mold germs. A second straining
follows, after which the milk is transferred
to n vacuum pan, where alta temperature
below 100 degrees Fair. il boils and is rap
idly concentrated to any degree desired
The vacuum pan employed is close vessel
of copper, cgg-shaped, about six feet high
and four and one half feet in diam
eter, 1t is heated by steam
coils Within and by steam
jacket without, inclosing the lower portion.
In one side of the dome is small window,
through which the gas Eliminates the in
terror, while on the opposite side is an eye
glass, through which the condition of the
contents may be observed. The pan is also
provided with vacuum gauge and
test sticks, Much of the milk used
i'll cities is simply concentrated without
any addition of sugar. The process of CON
centration is continued in the vacuum pan
until one gallon of the milk has been re-
duced to Il little less than u quart-one vol
ume of condensed milk corresponding to
about four and three-tenth volumes of milk
Condensed milk intended to be preserved
for any length of time has an addition of
pure cane-sugar made toit during the boil
ing, and is usually put up in sealed cans
This sugared or preserved" milk, when
prepared, will keep for many
years.
