BILLY" Bismark, as he is known to his
family and friends, is one of the most
popular society men in Berlin. member
of many clubs, bit of bon yivant and
the very image, the older folks declare,
of Graf Won Bismark at hi. age. Count
Billy, who is about 8s, excessively bald
and with quick. keen face and an eve
that scarcely hides the merry twinkle
that betrays his innate love OF humor,
is governor Of the province of Han
over. He is man OF rare mental gifts
and with wonderful faculty of repair
tee. After leaving college, where he
studied law and passed the examination
creditably, he went into the service of
the government, where his ability, to-
gether with the influence Of the paternal
name, has pushed him forward to point
that is usually reached only after about
thirty years of civil service. Still, his
administration in Hanover ha. given
satisfaction, where his energy and un-
failing fund of amiability make him
very popular. Philadelphia Times.

Disgracing a Great Name.

George Hugo, the grandson of the poet
is IL very poor representative of the illus
trious family to which he belongs. He
is in appearance the heaviest dude in
Paris and dresses most extravagantly.
He never misses an opportunity to let
people know who he is. A lady told me
she was being served in a shop in the
Avenue de rOpera the other day, when
Hugo came in and insisted on being at
tended to at once. The shopman de-
INJURED, saying that he had the lady to
attend to, whereupon the youth cried
out: 81 suppose you do not know who l
am. am the grandson of Victor Hugo"
1t is a good thing that the old poet did
not live to see what the child about whom
he wrote such feeling verses has devel-
oped into.-Paris Letter.

Notes.
j. II. Brown, of Holland Patent, N. Y,
reports that in 1888 he made his dairy
pay him profit of $76.G0 COW.
The animal odor sometimes observed
n milk comes from retained perspiration
in the COW. 1t is thrown back into the
blood and so is absorbed in the milk
veins. Cleanliness and healthy skin
for the COW is the remedy.
All i'll odors affect milk. Henry Stew
art says: II once lost whole churning
of butter worth over $40 through the
negligence Of a hired man, who put a
load of frozen turnip leaves into the
stable, and left them there, covered with
other fodder, until the rank odor drew
my attention to it. 1t was too late; the
COWS had breathed the offensive air and
the smell was concentrated in the but
ter.
Oats, barley and rye cut green when
the grain is in the milk and cured like
hay make an admirable milk and butter
producing food in winter. 1t pays to
plant these grains for this very purpose.
1t is now conceded that creamery but
ter is no whit preferable to well made
dairy butter, and indeed many private
customers prefer the latter, But it must
be thoroughly well made. Farmers and
farmers wives must learn that the art of
butter making has been revolutionized
completely,
A farmer writes to Hoards Dairyman
that he has tried it and found he couldn't
make butter with beef machine.
Blue milk indicates that the cow has
consumption. The Rural New Yorker
says that cornmeal and good clover hay
are the best foods for producing richly
colored milk.

Station Master Raser discovered curl
Gus paper in a truck of a sleeping car ON
the limited train from the west He
picked it out and found that it was
bond and mortgage payable by the West
ern Farm Mortgage Trust company, of
Lawrence, Kan. The principal is $500.
Attached to the mortgage are twelve
coupons for the interest payable at the
Bank of the Republic at Boston. The Sc
ries is 90, and the number 1856. 1t is
duly signed and sealed, and signed by
the president and secretary The first
interest coupon is payable Aug. /, 1890.
1t probably is souvenir of the great
storm in the west, and was blown into
the truck by the wind.-Utica Observer.

1t is said that two extremely valuable
articles of food are now prepared from
skim milk by II new process. 1t has long
been known that skim milk was a most
useful food for fattening pigs. On the
same principle, perhaps, it has been util-
lied as food for human beings in form
which is claimed to be highly healthful
aud nutritious
The process used separates the solids
of the skim milk from the water, AMI
makes of them two food articles The
skim milk is heated and rennet mixed
with it, which separates it into curds
and whey. The curds are pressed an !
dried and cut into blocks. These blocks
of caseine are then mixed with bran or
meal and form ii most valuable food for
cattle. They may be mixed with linseed
meal or cOttonseed meal
Now for the whey. 1t is mixed with
IL like anount of skim milk. All the
water is next cvaporated from the mkt
ure. A solid, cheesey substance remains
1t is cut into blocks and roasted. This
product is what is claimed to perform so
important II part in human food To
the roasted substance is given the name
lactoserine, The way to use it as food
is to grind it and add it to coffee or
cocoa in the proportion of Il third or half
1t makes coffee less stimulating and more
nourishiny and digestible,
By the introduction of lactoserine into
coffee and chocolate these drinks will
become at once cheaper and more health
full. An excellent drink can be made
from the lactoserinc alone, by sleeping
and slightly boiling it, drink at once
delightful to the palate, and containing
the richest of food materials besides
Lactoserine, indeed, might to some ex-
