4 Few Suggestioas Conc0ruzaS the 1fooe
nest Of Obstinate Cream.

mest Of Obstinate Cream.
It Is several years since ] learned
by careful experimentation that there
may be two different temperatures In
q batch of cream, however we'll it i
mixed, and that the thermometer does
not always indicate the temperature
of the butter element in the cream.
When cream is hastily warmed OF
cooled, the fat or butter portion is Less
rapidly affected. while the watery
portion, which absorbs and parts with
heat more readily. gives to the glass
its own temperature, sometimes even
before the other portion is affected at
all. I have seen cream warmed by
pouring in hot water, giving it q little
stirring, and then testing it with the
glass till the standard was reached.
Such treatment may do for fairly good
cream, but it is far from being tenn
pering to be depended upon.
Obstinacy in cream results from
several causes, generally. but not
always acting in combination. There
is certain viscid condition acquired
by the milk and cream from cows long
in milk. The viscid element serves
as sort of lubricant which keeps the
particles Il suppose 1 must not call
them '.globules" any more) of butter
fat apart. so that no amount of churn-
ing will bring them into a cohesive
mass. A low condition of the cow. in
sufficient or poor food. and exposure
to cold, all lessen the proportion Of
true fat, and the attraction of the
particles for one another.
Now, the remedy for all these diff
culties seems to me to be exceedingly
simple, and as if in justification OF
this opinion, 1 have never known its
application to fail. To begin with. I
should raise the cream to a tempera-
ture several degrees higher than that
at which propose ultimately to churn
it. If it was the product of long milk
ing cows. whether going dry or far
row, in any considerable proportion.
I should dilute it freely with boiling
water in the operation. If the cream
is of a higher, finer quality, should
prefer to leave the water out entirely
until had turned back and began to
cool it, though do not know that the
judicious use of hot water is injurious
even in the latest cream. So much
depends, however, upon the exercise
of judgment and fine discrimination,
that it is exceedingly difficult telling
another how to proceed to make sure of
the best results. Churning at seventy
degrees if suspended in season. would
be easier and more effective than at q
lower temperature, and no injurious
results need follow. As soon as the
cream begins to break, cold water in
moderate quantities may be added
from time to time, and the churning
continued moderately till the proper
for finishing is reached.
I can take batch of cream at seventy
degrees. and finish it off in the granu-
lar form just as we'll as to begin at any
lower temperature. It will not re.
quire nearly as much work at the
crank. but the puttering binders so
that it probably takes quite as much
time. in any but extreme cases of OBJ.
stinacy. But it eliminates the ele-
ment of uncertainty from the opera
ton. n. Y. Examiner.

His Dignity Wouldn,t Wash.

He was a majestic man, with
whole car load of dignity resting on
his shoulders as he walked down the
beach to the edge of the water.
You can chaff some men as they
thus stand waiting. You can call 'em
old man, or old fellow, and ask if the
water is cold enough for them, or if
they don't want another iceberg in
theirs. No one attempted to chaff this
old Roman. His demeanor forbade it.
All the small boys stood back in re-
spectful way while he folded his arms
and gazed out across the heaving sea
as if he expected to see the coast of
Spain.
The great man finally entered the
water. 1t was beneath his dignity to
yell "ooch" as the cold water sawed
away at his ankles, or to pause in his
advance as he got started. He headed
right out for the breakers, squared
himself for the coming roller, and he
wouldn't have turned his side Or
jumped it for thousand dollars. The
roller came booming in, and while all
others ducked or dived his majesty
stood on his pins and faced it.
Next moment something came
ashore-something which turned over
and over as it came-something which
spit and gasped and clawed and
strangled as it struggled up. 1t was
his majesty. The wind had been
knocked out of him, and he had been
flung end over end and plowed along
the bottom, and his dignity was nil.
AS he got up there was general yell
of delight, but he did not hear it. He
looked neither to the right nor the
left, but marched away with stately
step to the bath house, leaving a drip
ping trail on the sands behind him,
and we never saw him again.-Detroit
Free Press.

Tor COpYinr Drawings.

A new method of copying drawings
which may be found of service in
architects offices, is given in the
Deutsches Baumgcwerbes Blatt. Any
kind of Opaque drawing paper in or
binary use may be employed for this
purpose, stretched in the usual way
over the drawing to be copied or trac-
ed. Then, by the aid of a cotton pad,
the paper is soaked with benzine. The
pad causes the benzine to enter the
pores of the paper, rendering the lat
ter more transparent than the finest
tracing paper The most delicate lines
and tints show the paper so treated,
and may be copied with the greatest
ease, for pencil, India ink or water
colors take equally well on the benzin-
lied surface. The paper is neither
creased nor torn, remaining whole
and supple. Indeed, pencil and water
color tinting last better upon paper
treated in this way than on any other
kind of tracing paper, the former be-
ing rather difficult to remove by rub
Der. When large drawings are to be
dealt with, the benzine treatment is
only applied to parts at time, thus
keeping pace with the rapidity of adj
vancement with the work. When the
copy is completed the benzine evapor-
ates and the paper resumes its original
white and opaque appearance without
betraying the faintest trace of the ben
zine. Ii it is desired to fix lead pencil
marks on ordinary drawing or tracing
paper, this may be done By wetting II
with milk anu drying in the air.

A Test for Ten.

A Russian analyst gives the follow
ing as test by which tea can be prov
ed to DO genuine or not: Take pinch
of tea in glass, pour upon it a little
cold water and shake it up well. Pure
tea will only slightly color the water,
while strong infusion is quickly got
from the adultcrated or painted leaf.
Now boil both sorts separately, and
let them stand till cool, and the differ
once between them will be most mark
ed. The false tea will become still
stronger after along standing, but
will remain transparent, whereas
pure tea will become muddy or milky.
This last appearance arises from the
tannic acid, which is O natural prop
erty in pure tea, but which in artiti-
-cial tea is entirely absent.--Hall's
Journal Of Health.

A Fearful Stroke of Lightning.

There was binding blast, q terri
bic crash, as if the skies had been set
on fire and the earth had fallen in
pieces. On Sunday afternoon the
people of East Point, village six
miles from Atlanta, were shocked
from a stroke of lightning the like of
which had never been experienced by
any of them before. About dusk a
gray cloud hung over the town. There
had been no lightning, no thunder,
nor any indication of an electric
storm. Suddenly flash and crash
came simultaneously and people rush
ed from their houses with blanched
faces. The danger was past, but the
brief experience was terrible There
had been an electric shower. The
lightning had separated into twenty
or more bolts and struck as many
places within a radius of quarter of
q mile. The air was filled with the
odor of birthstone and copper color
ed cloud floated northward from the
city. A windmill was struck and
damaged, the grass on lawn burned
up, q window in house was shattered
and the carpet in bedroom scorched,
u COW was killed, and tree split
open, and telegraph operator knock
ed from his chair. The most wonder
full thing about the electric shower was
the rolling of great balls of fire up the
railroad tracks. The small masses
went bouncing and CRACKING along
the rails to the terror of the citizens.
1t was certainly terrible bolt of light
ming, and those who were near will
remember it to their dying day.-Ma

the intelligence of tho brute crea-
ton was strikingly illustrated when .
dog belonging TO Samuel Green, liv-
ing on Sixth street, below Barclay,
saved a 2-year-old child from death.
About 2 o'clock Mrs. Green put her
little SON, Maurice, to bed, and after
watching him sink into a peaceful
siu,lber, sat on the step with her hus-
band. Two hours later Mr. Green
heard a noise like the sound of fall,
followed by the cries of child and
the subdued growing of dog, appar-
emily coming from the dining room.
Alarmed beyond expression, he
rushed into the house and saw a spec
tacle which held him spellbound for a
moment. About the center of the
long fight Of stairs leading from the
sleeping apartment was the boy Maui
rice, crying as if his infantile heart
was breaking, He was hanging over
the steps in a perilous position, with
his head downward, and the canine
prevented him from falling further by
clutching his little dress between his
teeth. The dog was growing at a
rapid rate, as if to attract attention,
and seemed to fully realize the dam
gerous situation. 4 glance sufficed to
show the father that his son, with true
juvenile independence, had jumped
out OF bed, and attempted to walk
down the stairs without assistance.
His foot had evidently caught in
the carpet, and he was plunging head
long down toward the door when the
dog rushed to the door and saved him
from possible death by catching him
by the dress and holding him there
until human aid arrived.
When Mr.. Green seized the young
ster, the dog jumped up and licked
his face and hands in order to mani
fest his approval, and in other ways
exhibited unbounded JOY. The child
sustained severe flesh wound ON the
forehead, but beyond this injury was
unhurt. Mr.. Green has purchased O
costly collar for the dog, and now
says that he would not sell it for any
money.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Cautious Prophets.

Down in Georgia an old darby call
ing himself the prophet Daniel induc-
ed three young men to walk into an
iron furnance. They did it Us easily
as anything you ever saw done. But
coming out again was part of the feat
that caught them cold, and they stay
ed i'll. The queer thing about these
religious lunatics is that God never
tells them to do anything of that sort
themselves; he always tells them to
get somebody else to do it. However,
ways large. We suppose you might
burn up couple of hundred of them
every day for six weeks, and then find
a good market for any kind of an
elixir you should advertise. --Burdctte

LITTLE WILLIE.

Poor little Willie,
With his many pretty wiles;
Worlds of wisdom in his looks,
And quaint, quiet smiles;
Hair Of amber, touched with
Coll Of heaven so brave;
All lynig darby hid
In a workhouse grave.
You remember little Willis:
Fair ana funny fellow! no
Sprang ike lily
From the dirt OF poverty;
Poor little Willie!
Not friend was w9h,
When, from the cold world,
lie crouchel down to die.
In the day we wandered foodless.
Little Willie cried for bread;
In the night we wandered homeless,
Little Willie cried for bed;
Parted at the workhouse door,
Not word we said;
All, so tired was poor Willie,
And Sc sweetly sleep the dead.
Twas in the dead of winter,
We laid him in the earth;
The world brought in the new year
On tide of mirth,
But, for lost little Willie
Not tear we crave;
Cold and hunger cannot wake him
In his workhouse grave.
We thought him beautiful,
Felt il hard TO part;
We loved him dutiful;
Down, down, poor hearth
The storms they may beat;
The winter winds may rave;
Little Willie feels not,
In his worlShouse grave.
No room for little Willie;
In the world we had no part;
On him stared the Gorgon eye,
Through which looks no heart.
"Come TO me-" said Heaven;
And, il Heaven will save,
Little matters though the door
Be workhouse grave.

William Drew Washburn, and now United
States Senator from Minnesota is a men,
Der of the famous Washburn family whose
genius for Office was lampooned so vigor-
ously by Ignatius Donnelly years ago in
Congress. when he said in debate with
Ehhu Washburn that the entire family
were born with the frank M. c." stamped
on the broadcast part OF their anatomy, but
that. broad as it was, it was not broad
enough to receive the letters 20. $. So by
which he meant that Washburn would
never be elected to the Senate, a prediction
that came true. The Minnesota Washburn
is the youngest of the family, of which
Governor Israel Washburn. of Maine, was
the eldest; Eihu B.. of Illinois, the second
son, and Governor Cadwallader Washburn,
of Wisconsin. the third. All the brothers
were born at Livermore, Androscoggin
County, Maine, in little stony hillside
farm, where existence was possible only by
the closest application to work and the
severest economy. The district school and
the village academy gave the Washburn
sons their education. w d. Washburn
was able by teaching and working on
farm to take himself through Bowdoin Col
lege. graduating in 1854 at the age Of twen-
ty-three For two years he read law with
his brother Israel and then moved 10 Mime
apolis, where he practiced law until 1861,
when he was appointed by President LIN
coin Surveyor-General of Minnesota.
Holding this post for four years. he be-
came acquainted with the best bodies of
pine timber liz the State, and by judicious
investments laid the foundation OF fortune.
He has been engaged in manufacturing and
railroad enterprises for twenty years past,
always with great success. He organized
and built the Minneapolis q St Louis rail
road, now the Rock Island route TO St Paul.
and made fortune out of it. During the
past few years he has been building the
