Method Of Keeping Milk.

The souring Of milk is caused by
the change of the sugar of milk into
Tactic acid, under the influence ofthe
caseine or cheesy matter, which the
milk contains. Boiling, however, de
prives caseine of the power Of con-
verting the sugar Of milk into Tactic
acid. Now, if the milk sbe put into
bottles which, after being well cork
ed, are placed in can with cold wa
ter, and gradually raised to the boil
ing point, and after being allowed to
cool, be taken out and placed in a
cool place, the milk will keep perfect
for more than half a year. If the
milk be exposed to the air after boil
ing, the :caseine gradually RECEIVERS
it's power of converting sugar into
Tactic acid. In this case the boiling
has to be repeated every day or Sec
ond day, and milk may thus be kept
fresh for two months or more.-Hall's
Journal of health.

Not that Kind OF a Pot.
Boston Courier, J


1t was at church fair in Massa-
chusetts town which has given gov.
ernor to the commonwealth, and
among the miscellaneous articles for
sale on one of the tables was q patent
hook for lifting kettles from the stove.
The clergyman of the parish stood
accidentally beside this table, when
he was approached by Harvard stu
dent who was lending to the occasion
the light of bis countenance.
"What is that thing for ?" the stu
dent asked, taking hold of the utensil
mentioned.
II believe that it is pot-lifter," the
clergyman replied.
The youth regarded it curiously a
moment in silence.
"Will you kindly tell me-" he said
at length, chow you lift a jackpot
with it?"
The clerical gentleman blushed for
the want of reverence shown to his
cloth, and, then, recollecting himself,
said that he did not understand the
question.

LawIessness in the West.

A man has very little more to fear
in the west than in the east, in spite
ofall the lawless acts one reads about.
Undoubtedly long standing quar-
rel sometimes ends in q shooting
match and of course savage ARRAYS
occasionally take place in the bar
rooms, in which, be it remarked, that,
inasmuch as the men are generally
drunk, and, furthermore, as the re-
volver is at best rather inaccurate
weapon, outsiders are nearly as apt
to get hurt as are the participants.
But if man minds his own business
and does not go into barrooms, gam
bling saloons and the like, he need
have no fear of being molested while
a revolver is a mere foolish incum-
brance for any but "a trained expert,
and need never be carried.-Theo-

ST. Petersburg's Sidewalks.

One of the most extraordinary
things about st. Petersburg is the
unevenness of the sidewalks. 1t must
surely be accounted for by reac
ton against the prevailing fatness
OF Russia. Even in the leading
thoroughfares the sidewalks, instead
Of being made, as with us, as level
as possible, abound in the most
treacherous ups and downs. How
drunken men survive walk through
the streets is to me an unsolved mys-
terry. In Middlesborough it used to
be profanely said that the Quakers,
who laid out the town, purposely ell
evated the sidewalk couple of feet
above the roadway in some of the
streets in order to break the necks
OF drunkards. Possibly similar
benevolent motive prompted the con-
struction Of the trottoirs Of the Rus
sian capital. People get used to
anything, and after a week in the
city you become so accustomed to
the sudden shiftings Of gradient as
hardly to notice their existence

band in Chains,

AS the seven convicts, sentenced by Judge
Croft at this term of court, scrambled into a
buss at the back door of the county Jail yes
terday, a little woman about sixty years
old and dressed in a plain coarse dress, said
There is one who looks like a man that
came here about o year ago from Burlington,
la. His name was Wilson. l wonder what
that mans name ISL" On being informed
that it was Charles Wilson, the little woman
continued: 4
"That's him, then, and l don't care q cent.
He came to my husbands saloon here some
months ago and after hanging around there
for some time ran away with my daughter, a
girl eighteen years old. They went to
Hastings, Neb., and were there for some
time, and when they came back he said they
were married. We asked him to show his
marriage certificate, but he never could, and
l think if they had been married he could
have shown the papers,"
The woman was Mrs. d. c. Royce, wife Of
a saloon keeper In this city. 81 don't care q
cent to see him go to the penitentiary, I" she
continued, ''for there is not a spark of man
hood in him. He stole the things he was
found guilty OF stealing, and even when they
arrested my poor old husband for the crime,
Wilson did not have the manhood to 90 to
the Jail and get him out. l know he never
was married to my daughter"
The men, as they were chained in pairs to
be taken to Lincoln, were Charles McVeigh
and John Charles, alias "Black Jack; Charles
Ross and Charles Wilson; Frank Desmond
and Ed Wise. Wise will remain ten years
FOR burglary; Desmond, three years for grand
larceny; McVeigh, four years for larceny:
Charles, burglary, ten years.; Ross, four
years for larceny; Charles Wilson, one year
for grand larceny. George Cochran, the old
man sentenced for five years for stealing DIR.
Tilden's horse, was not chained or hand
cuffed, but was allowed to carry
his satchel in one hand and
his big bible under his arm
and follow after the younger criminals. He
is sixty-seven years old and it is believed by
many that he took the horse while in q tem-
porarily insane condition. He was a friend
of all the boys in Jail and took time to shake
hands and say goOd-by to all of them before
getting into the cab. Sheriff COburn, Jailer
Miller, Detective Ormsby and a number
of the police force accompanied the criminals

PROPERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT
Held in Adverse Possession to Which
it Has a Valid Claim.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-In response to the
senate resolution calling upon him for EVIL
dence in the treasury department relating to
the property Of the United States, and to
which the United States has a valid claim,
which is held in adverse possession, the sec
tary of the treasury to-day transmitted to
the senate the reports of the solicitor of the
treasury and commissioner Of internal rev.
enue on the subject. Ihe acting solicitor, in
his report, says that there is no personal
property now held in adverse possession to
which the United States has a valid claim.
Tbs commissioner gays that the only prop
erty in charge of his office is real estate ac-
CURED under the internal revenue law. Ac-
cording to a letter from Mr.. Littlepage,
lately employed as an agent Of the treasury
department, TO the solicitor of the treasury,
dated October 10, 1887, it seems that he was
employed to 'assist in the prevention and de-
lection Of frauds upon the customs revenue"
Continuing he says:
"After my several conversations with you,
/ infer that my especial assignment will be
to recover such properties belonging to the
late confederate states as have been fraudu-
lently or improperly diverted or concealed"
In concluding, he says: "Above all, / desire
that my special assignment shall be kept a
profound seceet."
In a letter dated November II, 1857. no
says that he went to his home in King Will
lam county, Virginia, to examine his old con-
federate paper, made and received while in Eu
| rope under the orders ofthe then confederate
states government, to obtain accurate data.
He found that in the winter of 1854. He was
ordered to the confederate ship Texas. This
vessel was built at Glasgow, and was to
have received her armament and equipment
while lying off the coast OF
England by another vessel. Cap
tain Henry Sinclair, of the confederate
| states navy superiptended the construction
of the vessel, her cost being 3 ,40o, 900, all Of
which was fully paid by the confederate gov
eminent. The vessel, he says, started TO
sea, but having been reported as "a confed-
| crate cruiser, was seized. Captain Sinclair,
rather than carry her through the courts, Sc
cured her release by guaranteeing that she
should not go into the hands of the confed-
eracy until they should be entitled to have
her. He then chartered herr and when, q
few months after, the confederacy collapsed,
| she was still sailing under the same charter.
He adds that this vessel was fully paid for by
the confederate government, and should be-
| long TO the United States. She is still valua-
| BILE and is now trading between Edinburg
and Copenhagen. He adds that there were
several other Clyde-built steamersOcon-
structed by the confederate government
similarly disposed of by their agents or cap
tains, which should now belong to the United
States. There were also two powerful rams
built by Laird a. Co. on the Mersey
ostensibly for the Chinese government, but

Hawkeye: "I1l bet I've got some Of

to 'em again!" and he chuckled with in
finite satisfaction.
"Well, sir" continued another, after
a pause, ''my wife has a worse neighbor
than that. She moved into our neigh
hood about u month ago, and in a few
days borrowed Il cup of sugar. When
she returned 1t it wasn't nearly so full.
After two or three such experiences my
