the Province Of Pinar del Rio.
HAVANA, Dec. 6.-Senor Canaljas the
special commissioner Of the Spanish
has returned here from his visit 10 the
province of Pinar del Rio. He says
there are in the provice 10000 "con-
centrados." Peasants gathered in from
the country in the towns for protection
from the insurgents, or to prevent them
from joining the enemy, and that they
are all in want. OF this number $4,000
are orphans and the majority are chill
dren Of tender years.
The commissioner adds that the con-
centrados are badly distributed. At
Pinar del Rio, the capital, for instance.
there are only 300 Of these unfortunate
people, while at towns like Consolation
and Candelaria there are over 1000 o.
sufferers The municipal authorities Of
such places. the commissioner says, are
without resources and therefore unable
TO do anything to relieve the destitu-
ton.

REFLECTIONS In CHAPEL.
A Highly Polished Brass Gross Gives
Forbidden information.

Recently the governor of one of
our county prisons was greatly per-
picked by the discovery that the fe-
male criminals in his charge man.
aged in some mysterious manner to
ascertain the presence Of every in
dividual man on the other side of
the impervious dividing barrier
which separates the male from the
female worshipers in the jail chapel.
One of the women inadvertently
made an exclamation showing that
she had suddenly become aware that
her husband was within the same
walls, although his presence ought,
according to the rule, to have been
completely unknown to her. None
Of the officers could account for an
unpermitted knowledge, which was
found to be shared by all the other
women. At last very careful ex-
animation Of the chapel gave an ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery. Al
though strictly divided, as we have
said, both the male and the female
prisoners faced the altar in their
seats, and over it had been fixed a
very large brass cross against the
wall, 50 highly polished as to form a
very good mirror, and in its clear
surface the women saw the rehec-
ton Of every man as he passed to
lis place, and had enjoyed the spec
tacle with impunity till the wife's
affection overcame her discretion.
The brass cross instantaueously dis

GAZING FOR CREAM.
Some Very Valuable Suggestions for
Butter Makers.


Milk may be set for cream in vari-
Gus kinds Of vessels and under differ
ent conditions. The poorest method
Is to set IN shallow tin pans or
crooks on pantry shelves or in a
cellar. Mix thus set is exposed to
a greater air contact than when set
otherwise, and 50 is more liable to
be affected by injurious odors, by
diseases transmitted through the
atmosphere, and by heat and cold.
Milk so set will oftentirnas rapidly
sour, or in very cold weather may
freeze. II it sours badly in summer
when skinned, curds viii be likely
to get in the cream and remain
more or less in the butter. after
! churning, forming white spots,
thereby seriously injuring the
quality of the butter Or if the
milk or cream freezes, an inferior
grade Of butter will be made from
it.
If cream is to be secured by set
ting milk, the best plan will be to
set the milk in round tin cans, about
Is inches deep and inches in diam
eter. If the can is placed in ice
water or cold spring water. to the
height of the milk in the can, the
conditions for cream separation will
be greatly improved, especially if
inside refrigerator or creamer.
This method helps keep the milk
at uniform temperature and en-
ablos the cream to rise to best ad-
vantage. Such cans as these, open
at the top, are commonly known as
shotgun cans, and may be bought
Of dairy-supply houses, or can be
made by any good timer
These deep cans are skinned in
one of two ways-either by a con-
ical skinner from the surface or by
means OF a faucetor valve at the
bottom of the can, where the skim
milk is drawn of. In experiments
at the Indiana station, in COM
pairing these two methods of skim
ming, where the milk was skinned
from above there was an average
loss about twice as great IS ID tina.
skinned by drawing oil from be-
low. During 10 days in February
the average loss from surface skim
ming was "a per cent, while that
skinned from below showed loss
of but II per cent.
1t is important chat milk should
be set only in tin vessels OF good
quality. The cheap tin sold on five
and ten-cent counters is SO thin
wash that it is readily corroded to
the under metal, which gives a ruin
Gus flavor to the milk if it sours in
the vessel at all. Where used for
holding milk the tin should be OF
XXX grade. This is more durable,
sitter and less affected by the acid
in sour milk.
In general, persons striving to
make fine quality of butter should
have cabinet creamer In this the
milk may be kept to best advantage
and properly protected from OBJ
jectionable odors and dirt-Bulletin

Safe Blowers at Work.

7 Yesterday morning when Postmaster
Ballou, of Buffalo Gap entered his Office
he found much to his CONSERVATION that
safe blowers had been at work during
the night upon the government safe,
with the result that the door was blown
off. The would be robbers had also
pried open the money drawer with an
iron bar. The words would be rob-
bers' are used advisedly for that is just
what they were so far as the Buffalo
Gap post office funds are concerned as
they did not get a cent. This was not
because there were no funds, but be-
cause the funds were not there. 1t
seems that the morning before Mr..
Ballou saw some powder On the floor
near the safe which made him suspi
cious that some one had designs on the
contents of the safe. To avoid an I'M
pleasantness Of that nature when even
ing came Mr.. Ballou took home the
money. about 5000, which the nights
operations showed to have been q very
wise move on his part.N At last accounts
nothing was known of the perpetrators
of the act, though three rough looking
men with no known occupation were
seen in town during the day. The sup
position is that the job was attempted
the night before, but for some reason
abandoned to be resumed the following
night.-Rapid Journal 9Th.
