How MILK Is Condensed.

When condensed milk was first intro
duced so years ago, the idea was laughed at
The inventor carried the entire daily sup
ply for New York city in a 10-quart pail,
delivering it personally to his patrons. He
died worth 81 ,o0o, 600, made out of the bust
ness, which has grown to be gigantic in
dustry. The processes employed are very
simple, the fresh milk being put into a
great copper tank with steam jacket.
While it is being heated, sugar is added,
and the mixture is then drawn off into a
vacuum tank, where evaporation is pro-
duced by heat. The vacuum tank will
hold perhaps 1900 quarts. 1t has glass
window at the top, through which the ope-
rator in charge looks from time to time.
He can tell by the appearance of the milk
when the time has arrived to shut off the
steam, and this must be done just at the
right moment else the batch will be spoiled.
Next the condensed milk is drawn into 40.
quart cans, which are set in very cold spring
water, where they are made to revolve
rapidly by mechanical eontriySaee, in or
der that their contents may cool evenly

The Tribune has found out somehow
that there are in the world SOC, 900, 600 of
fully clad people, 100000 of partly clad
people and 250,ooo,00o of naked people We
say that the naked millions have perfect
right to live in nakedness. They do not
need clothes for warmth or comfort, and
they do not think that they need them for
any other reason. They do not ask other peo-
pie to go naked, and the other people have
no business to ask them to wear things.
There are lots of respectable men and wom-
en- among the naked millions who mind
their own affairs. We do not suppose that
the men of the Niger and Congo would be
willing to live in this world If they had to
wear coats, vests, trousers, plug hats and
leather boots, or that the women would
find life tolerable il dressed up in gowns,
bonnets, shawls, hoopskirts and things.
Most of the nude and serninude people of
our race are in Africa, and they don't want
us to bother them. Most of the clothed
and serniclad people are In ASIA Europe
and America, and they ought to be willing
to let their African brethren enjoy the sun
shine. Yet the people who wear clothes are
perpetually urging the naked people to buy
person may be better and wiser than a
clothes wearer. He may be pious, virtuous,
sensible, industrious, brave and democratic.
Another thing is TO be said for the naked
millions. They drink very little whisky or
beer, smoke very few cigarettes and would
feel ashamed to be seen at n ball of the Ger

Though one of the most nervous singers
that ever went before an audience, Brignoli
in his way was one OF the most conscien-
tious. He refused to sing il be did not feel
that his voice was in n condition to do jus
tice to the song and to himself. He was a
firm believer in homeopathy, and was never
without two small walls, one containing
bryonia and the other spongia, which he
used alternately His body servant Bar
bagelata, usually administered the drug.
On one occasion it happened that Barba-
gelata gave him larger quantity of bryo-
mia than he had asked for; but, like the
faithful servant that he was, he informed
his master of the mistake. Brignoli was
furious. He thought he was a dead man.
He raved and stormed and swore as only he
could swear. Barbagelata, thinking to re-
lieve his mind, swallowed the entire con-
tents of the phial.
"You see, Signor Brignoli, there is no
harm in the medicine" he said.
"Ah, my Godl' cried Brignoli, forgetting
his own danger at once, you are dead
man. What have you done"
| All the doctors in the neighborhood were
sent for and all had to testify that the drug
was harmless before Brignoli would believe
that Barbagelata could suryiye.-New York

Among the queer forms of animal life
that inhabit Death valley is "A mouse that
has acquired such a taste for scorpions that
they form its entire bill of fare. The scor-
pion carries its formidable armament in the
end of its slender, elongaged abdomen in
the shape of an exceedingly yenomous,
hooked sting. When disturbed, it elevates
this in the mir and goes in search of its dis
turber. But 1t is comparatively slow in its
motions, while mice are proserbial for their
quickness the world over The mouse
learned many generations ago where the
scorpion carries its weapon, and when he
meets it he leaps at the uplifted abdomen,
takes off the sting at a single bite and pro-
ceeds to make meal of his helpless prey

Ialishes scorpions.-Sports Afield.
