XVII -MAPMAKER AND KING OF KINGS
After Austeritz, Napoleon conceded
to tho Car Of Russia tho privtlcgc Of
retiring! Only month before, Alex
ander had been in Berlin. Out at Pots
dam, on the 3rd of November, no and
Frederick William had sworn a sccre:
mighty oath over tho tomb Of Frederick
the Great. This conjuration with the
Gar did not now seem to have been I'll
expedient thingl Frederick, supposing
that Napoleon WAS not informed Of his
perfdy, sent to the victor st AusterlitZ
a message Of hollow congratulation.
Ghe Emperor, on receiving it, said that
Frederick William had written the let
ter, intending it for the Car, but for
tune had changed the address to himself!
The treaty of Pressburg was another
peace that did not pacify. Europe was
PROSTATE before Napoleon as far as the
Vistula; but England covered all sea
coasts from the Adriatic to the Baltic,
and the whole Slavic race lay darkly
banked on the horizon of the Northeast.
The Emperor began at once, with in
credible audacity, to mako now po-
litical map for the European Powers,
and to support it with his under-kiugs
and princes, vassa]s of France. Influ-
enced by the recent Russo-Austrian
coalition, Italy, under the leadership Of
Ferdinand, king Of the Two Sicilies,
had hopefully sympathized with the al
lies. hstigated by his wife, Caroline
Maria, sister Of Marie Antoinette, the
Neapolitan king admitted into his do
minious division of the Russian army.
The cause Of otfenso was sufficient;
Napoleon, in January Of 1906, sent a
corps, under his brother Joseph, to CO.
cupy Italy. On the 10th Of February,
having entered Naples, Joseph was pro-
claimed king, and the Bourbon mon
archy was abolished.
Notwithstanding the intended treach-
cry Of Frederick William, the Emperor
kept faith with him, and delivered Han
over to Prussia The King was reluctant
to accept the gift; for Hanover was
and he would fain be at one
with England. Tho principalities along
tho right bank Of tho Rhine, oven from
Italy to Holland, were erected into the |
Confederation of the Rhine Fourteen
princes Of Germany voluntarily dctach- !
cd themselves from thoir Teutonic af- |
tiliations, and carried over population

protectorato Napoleon would thus con-
struct Germanio wall between Eastern
Europe and France, protecting the lat
ter against the further incursion Of the
Austro-Slavic races.
The next step was to convert Holland
into a sub-kingdom of France. On the
9Th Of June, 1906, Louis Bonaparto, to
whom, four years previously, Hortonse
Beauharnais had been married, was
proclaimed king of Holland Out of
Hesse- Cassel, Brunswick and parts of
Saxony and Prussia, the kingdom of
Westphalia was formed, and assigned
to Jerome Bouaparto MS king. To him
after Tilsit-was given in marriage the
princess Catherine Of Wurtemburg. In
the countries between the Rhine and
Poland, extending southwark into Italy
and northward to the Baltic, a great
number of dukedoms and municipalities
were created and conferred on the mar
shals of the Empire. Murat, husband of
Caroline Bonaparte was made grand
duke Of Berg and Cloves. Lannes be-
came duke of Monticello. Junot was
presently nominated duke of Abrantes.
Bernadotte received the title Of prince of
Pontecorvo. Noy got his hardearned
dukedom of Elchingen. Berthier was
made duke Of Neuchatel and Valangin.
Soult became duke Of Dalmatia. Mas
sena took his honor as prince Of Essling.
Davout, after little delay, was made
duke of Auerstadt. Bacciocchi, husband
of Elise Bonaparte, was created prince
of Lucca and Piombino. Eugene Beau
harnais was given in marriage Augusta
Amelia, daughter Of the king Of Bavaria,
and the title of prince Of Venice. The
process Of king-making and prince-mak-
ing was limited, not SO much by the
possibilities of territory as by the num-
Der of the Imperial retinue
Prussia now became scene Of stormy
agitation. The Inundated House Of
Hohenzollern looked in this direction
and in that The younger element Of
the people and the philosophical patriots
cried out against the domination Of
France. Meanwhile, strange and far
reaching contingency appeared among
the personal forces in Europe. Charles
James Fox, successor Of Pitt, became
Minister of Foreign Affairs, under the
premiership Of Granville. Fox would
tain have peace He was not devoid OF

given to the Car. Dantzic was declared
independent. The province west Of the
Elb was coded to France. All tho Bona
parties were confirmed in their king
doms, and the Confederation of the
Rhine was recognized. The ports Of
Prussia were shut to English commerce.
Frederick Williams army was placed
at maximum of AZ, 900 men. To these
provisions was added large indemnity
to France from Prussia The map which
the Corsican had etched with his sword
point on the broken landscape of Europe
was confirmed by the agreement Of all
the Powers-save England.
For four years the sting Of Tilsit was
in the vitals of England. So powerful
was the Napoleonio influence that Den
mark leaned Franceward; and the Gar
smiled. 1t was suspected by the Gren-
vile ministry that the Danes would
close their ports to British trade. Under
this suspicion, Admiral Cathcart was
sent with his feet into the Baltic, de-
manding that the navy Of Denmark
should be surrendered IN pledge to Great
Britaini To this monstrous proposition
the Crown Prince bravely answered no.
Cathcart then proceeded against Copen-
hagen, and in the first week Of Septem-
Der bombarded the city. Three hundred
and fifty buildings, including the Uni
versity, were destroyed, and six times
as many houses rendered untenable.
About 2, 900 people were killed in the
horror, the like of which had not been
witnessed in modern times. Great Brit
ain was at peace with Denmark!

Dairy and Creamery.

The exceedingly stiff law against
adulterating dairy products in Califor-
MIA went into effect May 1. The state
dairy bureau appointed by Governor
Budd is composed Of practical dairy
men, every one. Under this law every
alleged dairy product not made from
pure milk or cream comes under the
head Of an imitation. It must have
plainly stamped across it the words
"substitute for butter, " substitute for
cheese" ETC. Under no circumstances
must the imitation product be colored
to resemble the real. Furthermore, the
words "butterine, ""dairy' or "cream-,
ery'' must not be used in connection
with the imitation product. Heavy pen
alties are affixed for the violation Of
this law. In the words Of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, ':that ought to settle
the fate of the substitute. -
Some time ago the creamery mems
association formed an insurance Of their
own. They mutually insure one another
for premium Of one-half OF per cent.
Thus for merely a nominal rate the
creaneries belonging to the Creamery
mems Mutual Insurance association will
be secure in case their buildings burn
down. This is much better than paying
high salaries to officers Of other insur-
ance companies. If creamery should
burn down the loss will come very light
on the fund of the united members.
The Lord helps those who help them
selves. The secretary and treasurer OF
the organization is Mr.. D. Woodruff,
81 Franklin street, New York city.
When dairymen kick against the rigid
inspection Of their COW stables and prem
ises by properly constituted authorities
those dairy1aen will be good men to
shun by the people who want to buy
milk. The right kind Of a dairyman is
the first to welcome and call for, close
inspection Of his premises and cattle.
Dairymen ought to be the very first to
ask for such inspection.
At a dairy farm in the suburbs Of
London the public is invited at inter
walls to make picnics to the grounds,
stables and pastures and see how sweet
and clean everything is and how shiny
and healthy and handsome the COWS are.
These dairymen are the right sort

that give rich milk, feed them album

the milk pure, sweet and immaculately

Milk is more nearly q perfect human
food than anything else. So:
Almost any part Of the south is good
for dairying. North Carolina, Georgia,
Virginia and Tennessee are particularly

and Courier especially commends the
billy portions Of the northern part OF
South Carolina as dairy region. Water

When milk is filtered through po!ce-
lain, a clear liquid called milk serum
passes through the filter, tho casein and
fat being left behind. In this serum
there is a certain amount of albumen
and usually part Of the cascin also,
which has been in solution in the milk,
but the fact that most Of the casein does
not pass the filter shows that it is not in
state Of complete solution. The re]a-
ton Of the soluble and insoluble por-
tions Of the casein is matter Of much

mentations. The coagulation of the ca
sein, or curdling, as the process is COM
monty called, is readily effected by rem
net and also by various chemicals, among
which are lead acetate, sulphate Of cop

acid, sulphate of magnesium and the
mineral acids, but is not effected by

solution and seems to differ only slight
ly from the serum albumen Of the blood.
Considering the intimate relation which
the milk while III the mammary gland
must have with the blood or rather with
the lymph-i. O., the blood deprived Of
its red corpuscles-it is not surprising to
find one Of the constituents Of milk SO
similar to this. albumen of the blood.
We may probably look upon it as de-
rived directly from the albumen Of the
lymph. The presence Of this serum al
bumen is perhaps an important factor
in explaining the changes which take
place in milk upon standing.
Milk sugar exists in milk in state
Of complete solution. 1t may be OBJ
tanned by evaporating and crystallizing
whey.
The ash of milk contains potash, So
da, lime, iron and magnesia, in combi-
nation with muriatic, phosphoric and
sulphuric acids and other constituents.
These are all in solution except perhaps
some Of the lime compounds.
Besides the above mentioned onstitu-
ents minute quantities Of several other
compounds are found in milk, but these
have not yet entered into the study Of
milk lamentations and at present may
be neglected. Milk is a very complex
body, and a complete study Of its fer
mentations would, of course, take into
consideration all of it's constituents. At
present, however, our knowledge is con-
fined to the study of the lamentations
as affecting milk sugar and the casein,
albumen and fat of milk.
The organisms and substances con-
cerned il the fermentation Of milk may
be divided into two distinct classes
namely, organized and unorganized fer
ments. The former include the minute
living organisms (micro-organisms),
such as bacteria, yeasts, ETC., which by
their growth cause changes or fermenta-
ton.
The unorganized or chemical fer
ments, on the other hand, are sub
stances devoid Of life which are capable
Of causing certain chemical changes in
other substances without themselves be-
ing changed. Rennet and pepsin are IA

ments. Limited States Government Bull

Good For Boston.

An important meeting Of the butter
and cheese dealers of Boston was held
at the Chamber of Commerce to take
action upon the matter of spurious or
"flled'' cheese, which has within a
year or SO largely come into eastern
markets from the west. It was stated
that in consequence of heavy shipments
of this cheese to England and Europe
the market for genuine American cheese
there has been almost ruined. A resolu
tion was adopted almost unanimously
against this cheese and pledge was
presented and signed by nearly all the
wholesale butter and cheese factories Of
the city not to handle the filed cheese
at any price or in any form. A memo
rial will be sent to other large cheese
buyers and handlers in New York and
elsewhere asking them to take similar
action, and it is hoped that THUS this
spurious western cheese can be driven
from the market and the export trade
revived. .>.

Appeal For the Jersey.

Mr.. Valancey E. Fuller writes:
At the last annual meeting Of the
American Jersey Cattle club commit
tee was appointed to form state Jersey
breeders associations in every state in
the Union and to revive into greater
activity those which seemed to be lag
ging. This committee is composed Of the
writer as chairman and Messrs. J. J.
Richardson and William r. Weed. Two
meetings of the committee have been
held, and good, substantial progress has
been made.
Every Jersey breeder has al interest
in these matters. AS stated in the be-
ginning Of this. letter, the American
Jersey Cattle club has done it's work
nobly and we'll, and it now rests with
tho Jersey breeders Of the country to
show how far they appreciate the efforts
Of the club by giving all aid in their
power to attain the end sought. Each
one has personal interest; each one
ought to desire to see literature demon
strating the superiority of the Jersey
COW disseminated, in his immediate sec
tion of the country, thereby intensifying
the interest in the Jersey COW and add
ing to the value Of his own possession.
But appeal to the Jersey breeders of
this country on broader grounds. Tie
love for, the admiration Of and the COIL
fidence in the Jersey COW must, from
sheer merit, be present in tho breast Of
every owner Of a Jersey. We are all
proud of her and her achievements. We
all have common interest, the advance
ment Of the butter queen and the cham
pion Of the cheese vat and the pail.
Working for this common cause will
unite the Jersey breeders into closer
union and will create cohesion in COM
mon interest, which always results in
good to any cause
Iappeal to my brother Jersey breed
ers throughout the land without hesita
ton. know that you will do your part
in this matter I leave it in your hands
with perfect confidence.
Idesire to extend my sincere thanks
to those who have been good enough to
forward me names and render me assist
ance in the distribution Of my reports.
