NEW USE FOR A cows MILK
ooo6 Buttons and Billiard Balls 1ade From
the Fluid


For q long time buttons and other ar
ticles for which bone is generally used
have been made from CONCEALED Blood
purchased by the button makers at the
slaughter houses and treated with some
substance that hardens ii to the suffi-
Client consistency. From blood to milk
Is long remove, but the same articles
that are made from blood can be made
from milk by process invented by an
Englishman named James Calendar
and soon to be introduced into this coun-
try.
The milk used is the skim milk that is
Of little use for domestic purposes and
,can be obtained very cheaply 1t Is the
milk that remains after the cream has
been SKINNED off. The process of turn
ing this liquid into buttons, pool balls
combs, backs of hair brushes and SINH
lar articles consists, first, of straining
the milk through a cloth in order to re-
move every vestige Of cream. and then
mixing it with a substance, the ingredi-
ents of which are a secret of the in
ventor. and COMPRISING 1t. At the end
of three days the substance is as solid
as celluloid and is ready to be cut and
shaped in any way the manufacturer
wishes.
At present a factory in Holland is en-
gagged in fashioning the hardened milk
into various articles, buttons being the
chief. The buttons made In this peculiar
way differ very little in appearance from
ordinary bone buttons. They are a
creamy white in appearance, but can be
colored black or red or any other color
by simply mixing the coloring matte:
with the milk before the hardening pro-
cess begins. They are said to possess
advantages over the bone and celluloid
article in being less brittle and less liable
to chip. For this reason the billiard
balls and pool balls which have been
made in England from this substance
have found favor where a cheap ball IL
required instead Of the expensive ivory
ones.
For combs the milk substance has
been found to be especially we'll adapted
| as 1t is smooth and delicate to the touch
I and derives from its creamy origin (
| glossy surface that is just the thing fo
! combs In the same way 1t is goot
, substitute for ivory in billiard and poo
| balls.
The great difficulty the inventor had tc
| overcome, and which he grappled witt
unsuccessfully for seven years before nc
hit upon the right plan, was to keep the
color of the substance Of uniform
| shade. According to j. X. Burdocn ol
Brooklyn, who has known the inventor
for many years. the early experiments
with milk buttons always resulted in the
I turning out of substance hard enough
| to be sure, but breaking out in spots OF
yellow, like freckles on country boy

DIED FROM FRIGHT.
A Lady Reads Note Threatening Her
Husbands Life, and 1t Kills Her.

Greenville, n. c., Jan. 22.-(SpeciaD--
Your correspondent learns of the death
Of n woman in this county which occurred
two days ago under very unusual cir
cumstances. The night previous some
one went to the home of Mr.. r. A. Par
ker, in Belyior township, and posted a
ing in substance, that if he (Parker) did
not leave the neighborhood in thirty days
he would be a dead man. Unfortunate
ly Mrs. Parker was the first to discover
and read this note next morning. She
was in a delicate condition and the
threatening note so alarmed her for the
safety of her husband that she was pros
trated. Commissions followed from which
she never recovered and during the day
she died
1t is thought that this note resulting
in such fatality to Mrs. Parker was due to
excitement which she had but recently
passed because of some trouble her hus-
band had had over his stock and his hav-
ing to appear in court two weeks ago as
prosecutor, causing her to apprehend
danger to him.
The particulars of the case are as fol-
lows: Some one had killed hog belong
ing to Parker and hauled the animal off
in a cart to the woods. The cart was
tracked from the field cf a neighbor, J .
A. Walston, to where the hog was thrown
out, and back. Upon this a warrant
was issued for Walston and he was ar
raigned before court. The evidence a
gainst him was such that the jury return
ed a verdict of guilty. Judge Robinson
ordered a suspension of judgment over
him upon payment of the costs.
Walston plead his own case before the
court, and after it had ended he told the
judge he was unable to pay the costs and
would have to go to Jail. His importuni-
ties were such that Judge Robinson order
ed the clerk to recognize Walston for the
payment of the costs, adding If he does
not pay it will pay it myself"

SUGGESTS A 6o-DAY SHUT DOWN

Providence, r. l., Jan. 22.-There has
been no concerted action as yet by the
Rhode Island manufacturers to cooper
ate with those of Fall River in the cur
taiIment of the product for the 13 weeks
beginning February /, by reducing the
running time of the mills from So to AZ
hours a week. 1t is the opinion Of several
manufacturers and cotton brokers, how
ever. that the proposed curtailment
would not be an effective remedy for
the present state of the market, which is
loaded down with the accumulation of
eighteen months, and complete shut
down for sixty days is suggested as a
better method The demand for goods is
increasing. The Rhode Island sales for
last week amounted to 2S0,000 pieces.
WON'T AFFECT THEM.
Woonsocket r. l., Jan. 22.--It is
doubtful if curtailment OF production
by the FAN River cotton mills will affect
this city seriously. There are 225,000
spindles in the eight mills here, three
ffths of which are in the three big mills
of the SocialCompany, which are running
full time on orders. Every other cotton
mill in the place is now running full time
for the first time in six months.
