The adulteration of milk by starch
may be detected by this simple meth
cd: Add q few drops of acetic acid
to the suspected milk; boil the milk
and filter the whey. If the milk con-

will give blue tint to the whey.
A new process for the manufacture
of armor plates, recently invented in
England. introduces steel into their
construction, whereas formerly they
were made wholly of iron. 1t is
claimed that the steel greatly increases
the resistive power Of the plates. The
war ships Of the present day are like
" to be clad with this new kind of
armOr.
Herr Lewisohn Of Stuttgart has in
vented a satisfactory method of taking
photographs on leather. A coating
of copal varnish is first applied 10 the
leather and allowed to dry well. A
second coating consisting Of albumen
and white lead is then added, and
when this is dry, the face OF the leath-
er is given the desired sensitive sur
face by being introduced into the sill
yer bath.
A cheap artificial leather is pro-
duced by a German inventor who uses
for the purpose q strong binding, wa
terproof, flexible glue, in a volatile
solution, which he impregnates by
heavy pressure. with flock of cotton,
oakum, finely ripped rags, scraped
leather, etc. He so spins and weaves
the fibre thus formed, or presses it IN
iron, that he can make from it water
proof cloth, straps, shoe sOles and
heels, book coverings and like articles.
A simple and interesting expert
ment in magnetism has been intro
duced by Professor Thompson. a
thin plate of hardened steel is written
upon with q magnetized iron style,
and the path traversed by the style is
thus magnetized. In order to read
what had been written, iron filings are
sprinkled on the plate, and the plate
is then placed in vertical position,
when, of course, all the filings fall off
except those which happen to fall on
the part of the plate magnetized by
the style, leaving the writing in re-

The Farmer-Sailors of Cape Cod.

a writer in the Century describes
"Cape Cod," and says of the inhabit-
ants: GA wood-packet runs regularly
from Cotuit to Nantucket. 1t is quite
common for the crews of coasting ve5-
sells hauled up in the winter to turn to
telling wood; in this as in everything
else, is seen a mingling of rural and
maritime pursuits. Every mariner
knows something of farming, and
every farmer is more or less Of a sailor.
They tell of an action against town
for injuries from defect in Il high
way, in which the distance of certain
hole in the road from the Travelled path
was in question. A town officer had
fixed the distance by actual measure
ment, and the only evidence for
the plaintiff was that OF
a man who simply gave his
Judgment. Nobody could gue:s
how the plaintiffs counsel would get
around the evidence of the town otii-
Ger. But he was undaunted. Gen

Feeding SEeep.

You must not collect large fucA
of sheep before you get something fol
them to eat, and that something must
be their natural food. That food is
grass-grass that is sodded and peren'
NAL. The stomach of a sheep is small
and he eats but little at time, and he
wants that little very often, say every
two or thre hours hence he should be
where he an gather his own food.
The tenden y Of all kinds Of gran and
dry proyender is to make sheep un,
healthy. a little rain before sending
to the shambles is useful to fatten,
but fat itself is disease and should
be avoided so far as possible in all
breeding animals Likewise should
the other extreme, viz, poverty-be
avoided. I have seen sheep degener.
ate from poverty more in one gener-
tion than they coull be improved in
TWO or three. T see much in the papers
about sheep loving bitter weeds, briars,
sassafras and the like. and they are
good scavengers for foul farm. My
sheep love the cultivated grasses best.
I remember once to have killed some
sassafras with sheep, but I also killed
some of my sheep. 1t was done by
con6ning them too long to the same
terrific y as well as to the same food.
Sheep need to have their pasture
cha iged at least once a month. And
this new pasture is as mu.h to force
them to sleep in new pace as it is to
give a variety of food. No sheep can
be healthy long that sleeps on thes same
place and over his own eXcrement
every night.-FGrming World.

The Flathead Indians Not Flatheaded.

About seventy miles from the north
ern boundary Of the United States, IN
the Territory of Montana, between the
western slope of the Rockies and the
more westerly chain of mountains
known as the Cpur dAlene, and, as
you travel further south, as the Bitter
Root, lies the reservation which has
been assigned to the tribe OF Indians
called the Flatheads; and probably no
tribe have adapted themselves more to
the manners of civilization at the en-
pense of their former customs and
habits than these. Why they are
called Flatheads no one in their part
of the country seems to know. They
do not fatten their children's heads,
nor is there any tra:e or tradition
among them Of such a custom having
been practiced formerly and as their
Indian name is Selfish, it is probable
that the name Of Flathead was given
to them, as often happens in this coun-
try, through the unaccountable freak
of some traveller.

Anecdote of Ouaen Victoria.

Gossips say that Queen Victoria is
growing morose, and that many of her
subjects have lost their enthusiastic
regard for her, and others are inclined
to manifest toward her feeling Of in
difference. "lf the master is morose,"
says the proverb "little wonder that
the servant is sullen." It is possible
that the gossips may bring true re-
port, for the queen belongs to a family
whose members have not been marked
in old age for cheeriness OF disposition.
II! the days, however, when he was
alive whom she calls, in her Highland
diary, "my nestimable husband and
frienl, my all in all" the queen was of
kindly and simple character. An
anecdote illustrates this:
Mr.. w, a p cturelover. was anx-
ious to see the great paintings in the
apartments OF Buckin.han palace.
His brother, a London carpet-merchant,
was ordered to put Gown new carpets
in the state apartments of the palace.
W. put on workman's blouse and
entered the palace while the royal fam
lily was residing in it.
Cnce in, he dropped his assumed
character and devoted hiUself to the
pictures. While he was alone in one
of tie rooms the QUEEN came tripping
in, wearing a plain white morning
dress. Two or three of her younger
children accompanied her.
".Pray, can you tell me" she said,
to the supposed workman, "when the
new carpet will be put down in the
privy council chamber?'
W, thinking he had no right to
recognize the queen under the circum-
stances, answered: "Really, madame,
I cannot tell, but will inquire"
"Stay p' she said, kinlly but
abruptly; "who are you? 1 perceive
that you are not one of the work
men,"
Blushing and stammering, he con-
fessed who he was, and the motive
which had led him to a sumo a work
mau'S dress.
The queen. appeased by his love OF
art, said, with smile: Il knew fol
all your dress that you were gentle
man, because you did not your
majesty me. Pray look at the pi ;ture:
as long as you will. Ciood-morning
Come, chicks, VIC must go."-YouthE
