A New Food Pro,luct.

Professor w. Rehnstrom, dairy instruc-
tor and agricultural engineer of Sweden.
has invented new food product which
he calls lactoserin. Skim milk is curdled
IN the same way as commonly used in
cheese making, only that larger guam
tity of rennet is used and at a higher
temperature, so as to make the precipita-
ton complete To the whey thus OBJ
tanned is added an equal quantity of
skim milk, and the bulk, through sim
pie process of evaporation, is transformed
into solid cakes, which are afterwards
cut or ground and more or less roasted
to suit whatever purpose intended.

Awkward Left Hands.

How awkward most people are with
their left hands. There is no reason, at
least no necessity, for this, but it is true.
1t is partly due to heredity, and partly
to habit and practice, but it could be
overcome. The left arm and hand might
be cultivated to the same degree of dex.
terity, which literally means right hand
edness, as the right arm and hand. but
1t involves trouble, time and patience.
and therefore is neglected. The left arm
has good reason to complain of this in.

"Poor Mammal"

first getting into trousers. 1t is to be
doubted, indeed, if he is likely to find
muci. in his after life that will give ioy

Jamie, having reached the mature age q
"most five," as he put it, was given his
first pair of knickerbockers. the whole
family were naturally called upon to re-
joice with him.
1t was after his first transports of de-

come to his mind that his mother had

Smallest street in New York.

The smallest and quaintest street in
New York is located on the East Side,
within one-quarter of a mile of the
city hall. 1t is named Chestnut street.
1t begins at Madison street, just below
the junction of Madison with New
Chambers, and runs diagonally across
New Chambers and New Bowery
streets to Oak street. There was
time, before New Chambers street was
cut through, when Chestnut street de-
served the title of a thoroughfare. 1t
had some utility at that time, and
could have been found without the aid
of a microscope. But now it has no
utility and only one lamppost.
That portion of Chestnut street be-
tween Madison and New Chambers is
just forty-five feet long. 1t cuts off a
tlatiron shaped building, the walls of
which are decorated with announce
ments of the Soup Greens society and
the Swelled Heads Jrs
Chestnut street starts to cross New
Chambers and New Bowery, distance
of about 200 feet, but becomes lost in a
maze of street car tracks and Second
Avenue Elevated Railroad pillars
which traverses New Bowery street.
After crossing this wilderness of iron
diagonally Chestnut street enters into
another fifty feet of existence between
New Bowery and Oak street. Here,
also, it cuts off flatiron shaped build
ing used as a cigar factory. The only
possible utility that this portion of
Chestnut street can have is to permit a
short cut to the Oak Street Police sta
tion.-New York Journal.

TIE SCENE OF THE AGONY
A visit to sorrowful Gethsemnne In tns
Nineteenth Century.

A v,s,t 10 sorrowful Gethsemane In the
Nineteenth Century.
On the very lowest slope OF the
Mount of Olives. deep down and IN
seen beyond the inclosing wall OF the
temple area, lies the garden which is so
associated with the sacred story--Geth'
semane. the scene of the agony. Al
most opposite to it, on the other side
of the road which traverses the narrow
valley. Is what is now called the Golden
Gate, supposed to have been the beau
tiful gate of the temple. II would be
the natural and nearest way by which
to reach that sacred retirement BY
this gate no doubt the betrayer ana
his stealthy band would follow the
steps of the Lord to his favorite haunt,
stealing down under the twilight skies
to where the shade of the pale olives
sheltered his prayers and mysterious
anguish, and the troubled doing Oh
the disciples sleeping for sorrow, ;"
confused by the strange, uncompre-
hended tide of events which was draw
ing their feet toward something they
knew not what. And by this path
again, no doubt, they led their prisoner
back, avoiding the peopled way, hurry
ing him into the stronghold of his enc
mics.
1t is said that there exists Moslem
tradition that by this gate the Messiah
is to ride into the holy place, taking
back his kingdom, and consequently
the precautiop has been taken-a
curiously Intellectual one, considering
the greatness of the event-of building
up the gate. There is something even
in this superstition which is grateful to
the imaginative mind And the sin
gularly touching juxtaposition OF the
temple gate and the garden gate is still
more memorable. Gethsemane itself,
site about which there is no manner
of doubt, is now a garden of flowers,
protected by trim palings "a modern
garden, orderly and well cared for,
which gives a certain shock to the
mind, but rather for the first moment
than permanently. -Blackwood's Maya

one of almost total ignorance.

all alchemy was not the fraud that mod
