A "eeATEN" GROCER TALKS.

Tell White Lies.

An East Side grocer unbosomed him
self this morning TO a representative of
the EVENING JOURNAL on the subject of
Beats" A half hour after the worried
grocer began TO talk the reporter wished
that Just one customer would come in or
a cyclone would strike the place SO that
he could get away. He stood IL all how
ever and this is a portion Of the speech.
you ask what kind of beat Well,
we do not mean the honest beat of the
detective or patrolman nor the soul
stirring beat of the drum, nor yet the un-
certain heart beat, oh no. we mean the
sleek fat, bland beat, who beats the
storekeepers, milkmen, newspaper men,
landlords, collectors, coal dealers, doc.
tors, shoemakers, dry goods merchants
and druggists. We give him the male gen
der, although the female invariably makes
the bargains and carries away the goods
Very often, however, their offspring are
utilized for the purpose Of telling you
that pop is sick or nom has the head

sly beat is one who thinks that he has the

AgouT CREAM sEPARAToRs.

Rnlletiu No. II. Of the Delaware Col
lece Agricultural Experiment Station has

PENNY This pamphlet is treatise on
the subject Of Hand-power Cream sep
arators." The professor says, in part;
"The chief advantage offered by the
cream separator is greater economy IN
saving ths butter fat otherwise lost IN
the skim milk. Certain minor advantages
are that the use Of ice can be wholly DIS
pensed with OF muca lessenea

method over the cold setting method =

profit so wide as 20 make or break many
manufacturing businesses.
"Sklm milk by the cold settling process
sometimes contains aslittle as two-tenths
Of / per cent. Of fat, but very rarely
and only by way Of exception; il oftener
contains four tenth or six-tenths some
times even per cent or more. Probably
one half of per cent. is fair average

setting process Assuming the case OF
dairy that would average 100 pounds
Of milk morning and evening the year
through, the separator would save out
of each milking about one-tnird OK
pound of butter fat or two-fifths Of
round Of butter, or about $50 pounds OF
butter yearly which without any addi-
tional expense might well represent
clear gain of $40. With a larger herd Of
course the saving would be proportion
stely greater
"'rhe use Of hand separator on the
farm does not imply that the entire pro
cess of butter making must be carried on
there In many places cream already
separated Is sold TO the creameries, at
saving Of labor, time and trouble II the
cream is paid FOR, as it unquestionably
ought to be, on the basis Of itF percent
age Of butter fat, this would seem to be
as economical as the more common prac-
tice of hauling the whole milk to the
creamery, early every day, and hauling
back the skim milk The use Of a hand
separator ought not to be regarded as in
opposition to the creameries.

NEw CASTLE, July 14-The entire
family Of George w. Vantine Of Sixth
street, except Mrs Vantine, have had a
narrow escape from an awful death.
Mr. Vantine and four children were
poisoned by chrome yellow in cream
puffs, which they ate on Sunday after
noon, and until last evening the husband
and children lay in a critical condition,
suffering intense pain, with many anxious
friends watching over them.
On Sunday Mrs Vantine's sister came
down from Philadelphia for flying visit
and returned home that evening She
brought with her five tempting looking
and delicious cream-puffs for the children.
She had asked for a dozen at the bakery
where she bought them, but was informed
that there were only FIVE in the place
Had there been a dozen the whole family
might have been been killed.
During the afternoon the visitor passed
the m-puffs out to the children, who,

fifth one as his share He tested the
puff and liked it so well than he ate il.
Mr. Vantine became i'll early in the even
ing and the children cried out with pain
soon afterward. At 0 o'clock the father
and children were in agony and two
physicians were at their bedsides, while
neighbors were passing TO and fro, doing
what they could TO comfort the sufferers.
Mr. Vantine had a tough struggle
with the monster but he is now ON rue
road TO recovery. The only nourishment
that he has taken, however, was one soda
biscuit, which he ate last evening. The
children have recovered although the
physicians are still in attendance As
soon as possible the sufferers viii appear
before the Philadelphia Board Of Health
in an action against the chrome yellow
baker.

that the witness yawned, and he knew
he Was lying.
How did you known asked q Cur
ier-J ournai man.
"Well, sir, l have seen witnesses lie
and not yawn, but never knew one TO
yawn that ne was not telling lie."
Judge Sims. the member Of the leg
islature from Trigg. remarked: Eyes.
l always know . witness Is lying when
he yawns."
Senator Dave Smith said, "Is is al
most invariably the case"
Judge Wall, the senator from Mason,
came up and corroborated the state
ments OF the others, and just then
Judge Brent of the superior court
joined the group. EYES," he chimed
IN. "when witness yawns he is telling
. lie. and he knows It."
Several other lawyers were appealed
TO, and all bore out the statements
made. None, however, could explain
the phenomenon. Judge Yost was the
only one who had . theory, and thai
was that when fellow WAS swearing to
