Utilizing Skim Milk and Whey.

Prof. Mueller, of Berlin, has recently
called attention in German paper to
the great Importance of this matter,
and has described some improved meth
DDS of preservation, devised for the pur-
pose of increasing the use Of skim-milk
and whey in that city. He urges that
the chief reasons why so little use has
hitherto been made of these products
in populous places are the ignorance
which prevails in respect to their high
physiological value as food; the lack of
practical knowledge rs to the manifold,
useful, and appetizing purposes which
they could be made to serve in cooking
and baking; and particularly the diff
Guilty of marketing such cheap and per-
ishable materials. q. c. of transporting
them cheaply, and of preserving them
effectively for periods long enough to
relieve both buyer and seller from anx-
iety as to the risk of spelling. With re-
gard to the trouble last named. he con-
siders it as good as proved that partial
concentration of skim milk. or Of whey,
by evaporating in vacuum pans, will
be sufficient for all ordinary require
ments. BY evaporating skim milk to
one fourth or one-fifth its bulk pro-
duct is obtained which can be kept
without special care for week or fort
night, according to the season and the
temperature. Whey concentrated to
Gue-seventh or one-eighth its bulk, or
still further, or even to dryness, If it is
to be carried far, is by no means an cas-
lily perishable article. 1t has, in fact,
long been prepared, in somewhat
crude way, in Norway, and in Switzer.
land. As regards the city Of Berlin at
the present time, the concentration OF
whey seems to BIO more important than
preservation of skim-milk, since the
common practice there is to sell, in its
natural state, as much skim-milk as
there is demand for, and to make cheese
of the remainder. The whey thus OBJ
ta1ned was formerly thrown away, be-
cause of the difficulty Of keeping large
number of hogs in the city. The con-
ccntrated whey has been found, practi.
cally, to serve an extremely useful pur-
pose in breadmaking. Prof. Mueller re.
marks that the quality of the bread Is
surprisingly improved, and that for this
particular purpose, whey Is decidedly
better than fresh milk.

The Russian Language.

The Russian language is peculiar

What strange SMILES people do make
use of, to be sure! They say that thing
is as black as the ace of spades, when
their comparison would be much strong
or did they say as black rs the ten
spades, which is ten times blacker than
the ace. A man tells you that he has
been working all day like dog, when
you know and he knows that dog
doesn't work at all. He tells you that
The sky last evening was black as ink,
leaving your mind in state of uncer-
tainty whether the sky was blue or red,
either of which it might have been ac-
oording to his smile. Then he tells
you that Soandso is as mad rs n halter,
as though hatters were more prone to
anger than the average. human. When
he says that somebody has been acting
like sixty, however, you know that he is
only speaking figuratively and of course
nobody can take exception to that

Prima Donna and their Clothes.

Emma Abbott, according to The 81.

she kept picking ut the waist of her
peasant dress until it was in ribbons,
and when she came off the stage took q
scissors and cut the front. She wouldn't
wear the same dress twice. Strakosch

cost her anything to indulge her passion
to destroy the garments. Cerbi said
Gerster was very sweet off the stage,

Lord. Rub the Rust Off.

DIR. j. M. Reid, Secretary of the Mis-.

himself Once, when editor, he was
invited to preach in Chicago. He was
taken to the church by q good brother,
who landed him there early, and no
one being present but himself, he took
a seat in the church alone to mediate

engaged in prayer service in an adj
joining room. He listened. Presently
loud, jealous brother engaged in
prayer. He touched upon vari Gus mat
tiers, and invoked the Divine blessing
upon them, including "the speaker OF

prayed very much as follows: 30 Lord,
bless him who is to speak to us this
evening; he is poor, weak man, but
make him power. Bless the message
that he shall bring. We know that he
is only an editor, and that he is rusty,
but, o Lord, rub the rust Off" DIR. Reid
said that the man prayed earnestly, oh.

listening; and, as an emphasis to his
prayer, he (the Doctor) uttered hearty

A Boarding School Story.

If any one ever wanted to laugh when
it would have been the height of impro-
priety to even have smiled, they may be
reminded of their feelings on such oc-
casions by the following good story: I'm
an Episcopal boarding school. a few
years since, the scholars and teachers
were assembled for morning prayer. The
reading and singing were over and all
were resuming their seats. when one of
the young ladies, of a very short and
thick stature, missing her chair seated
herself with a 'thud' on the floor. No
body smiled. All were too decorous for
that. The fallen one, embarrassed into
the momentary loss of common sense,
retained her lowly seat, opened her
prayer-book, and appeared to be earn
estly engaged in examining its contents.
This was almost too much for her COM
panons, and smile began to struggle
on many fair countenance, when the
rector rose and commenced reading the
first morning lesson. He read from the
fifth chapter of Amos, as follows: The
virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no
more rise; she is forsaken upon her land;
there is none to raise her up This was
too much; the voice of the rector trem-
bled as he looked up and saw the fallen
virgin; the scholars turned red in their
faces. and the exercises were brought to
a hasty close"

The Journalist,

There is no profession in which man
stands more supremely on his merits
than in that of journalism. In many
others promotion is more a question of
influence, Of good fortune, or of time,
than of actual working capacity. In
journalism. influence goes for little or
nothing, unless there be on the part of
the aspirant real efficiency to perform
the work that has to be done. There
never was greater competition in the
press than there is at the present day,
and that competition is more likely to
become keener than to diminish. 1t is
becoming more and more question of
the survival of the fittest, and special
eminence is ever more difficult to attain.
The incompetent and inexperienced,
therefore, must inevitably go to the
wall. chambers Journal.

A Shaking Mountain.

About three months ago number of
miners from San Francisco explored Ell
Monte Amargo, the Bitter mountain. in
northern Chill. Near the top of the
mountain they found something of
which they had heard marvellous stories
the Eye of the Gold. This mine Of
poetic name was examined to the disap-
pointment of the whole party. Even
ing had crept on and it was too late to
descend, so the Colifornians lighted a
fire under q rock near the summit,
there to pass the night. A furious wind
was blowing from the neighboring des-
ert of Atamaca. Suddenly the wind
dropped; an unnatural calm and silence
followed. Then came confused MUIR
muir as from q distant, angry crowd of
people, swelling to grinding, crushing
sound. A slight shiver ran through the
solid mountain, succeeded by more
positive, rocking motion. The men got
upon their feet as quickly as possible,
but in another moment all were shaken
down. One of the prospectors says that
the mountain seemed about to sink be-
meath them. A horrid roar pervaded
all space, and Monte Amargo beloved
like the wind-stirred surface of the
ocean. The men were seized with
dreadful nausea and an indescribable
feeling of despair. The frightful phe-
nomenon lasted less than half minute,
and when it was over earth and sky
were as peaceful as ever. They had ex-
perienced "A trembler," said to be
worse on the Bitter mountain than at
any other known place.

coat made OF cat skins. and accordingly
advertised for cats, promising to pay
20 cents apiece for all that should be
brought to him on q certain day. The

twenty-five boys, each with from one to
four cats. All hands with all cats re-
paired to the barn. ii said, where with
clubs fearful slaughter began. A eats
life is proverbially tenacious of its earth
ly tenement. and the Doctor and his iu-
venile assistants had no easy task in
their crusade of determination. The
feline host was finally laid low, however
and in due time Doctor Easton appear
ed on the street in his greatcoat of va
riegated cat skins. The season was
winter, and as the Doctor. who was u
large, venerable gentleman with snowy
hair, rode about in his cutter making
his professional visits. he might easily
have been taken for Santa Claus. AS
he passed, occasionally boy would ex-
claim to his companion, "There, do
you see that white one on the shoulder
That's the one / got for him." The
Doctor seldom passed a crowd of boys
that some one of them would not point
out to the others the particular cat skin
or skins which he furnished. The cat
skin was the envicd as well rs the most
conspicuous article of dress in town as
long as the queer old doctor lived.

strenuous efforts failed to reach the nest.

Female Gymnasts.

The rage for physical development
among young women is increasing.
Glasses are forming in gymnasiums
where young ladies' and girls are taught,
and also small clubs which receive in
struction in private houses. One OF
the latest phases of this mania is an in.
satiable desire on the part of many
young ladies to learn fencing. 1t has
become fashionable accomplishment
in Europe, which is quite enough to
make girls here ambitious TO acquire it.
Last year there were only few classes,
and they were small. This year there
will be scores of young women poking
swords at each other. One of the best
known gymnasiums in the city is
within q stones throw of the Windsor
Hotel.
The young ladies who go there for
instruction and practice have little re-
firing rooms, similar to bath houses.
When they emerge they have q Co.'S
tune consisting of basque or jacket and
trousers. The agility, grace and skill
they show at the various exercises is
astonishing. They are quicker to learn
than boys, am told, and much more
graceful at everything they undertake.
AT first they are made TO make certain
movements with their fingers, hands
and arms. Then they are taught TO
swing dumb bells and clubs, keeping
time to music. AS the average young
lady does not straighten out her arms
properly when in the first stages of her
training. the wooden dumb bells have
little brass bells on them that Jingle
when the movements are made with
proper forte,
One of the exercises they are put
through is that of marching, with
sticks for guns. They like this very
much, and carry their heads with q
jaunty air. What young Chap is there
that would not pay good fee ut the
door to see them going through evolu-
tionsP But the Professor vigorously
excludes spectators. The advanced
classes are required to practice on the
horizontal bar. Beginners at this ex-
ercise have great difficulty in swinging
their feet over. but some of the perse-
vcring ones go through great variety
of movements with the grace of an
acrobat. Swinging in rings suspended
on long ropes is favorite exercise.
In one corner Of the room there are
several poles in an upright position,
and others inclining at an angle. 1t is
almost incredible, but nevertheless O
fact, that young women will spend
hours climbing those poles. The most
popular exercise is that Of mounting
and vaulting over wooden horse.
They make rush Mt this and spring
into wooden saddle, and after much
practice they go over almost without
touching. The private classes usually
meet in n garnet SO many times week
for lessons and practice. When young
lady who has the physical develop
ment craze Is detained ut home by a
rainy day, she goes up to the garnet and
