There is much to be learned about
American customs and characteristics
from the Spanish newspapers. One Of
them. published in Barcelona. says:
The average height among the Ameri-
cans is five feet two, and they have
never produced an athlete. This is
due to their living almost entirely upon
vegetables. as they ship all their beef
out of the country. so eager are they To
make money. There is no doubt that
one full-grown Spaniard can defeat
any three men in America

Ate the Card In a Ham Sandwich.

On Sunday evening a party of
poker experts were seated in prom
inent up town hotel lobby, and some
good stories were the outcome. One
of the veterans at thumbing the
pasteboards related an incident in
his own career where he had been
dealt six cards.
1T was at critical stage of the
game" said the old sport, land
when I looked at the cards they
were of the most needful variety"
What did you do with the sixth
cardi" queried an attentive listener
II ordered ham sandwich, was
the reply, land, concealing the card
between the bread and meat, ate the
whole outfit.
When the laugh over this story
was ended, another member of the
party told of jack pot which was
opened on a pair of mines. In the
draw the holder of this pair took in
another nine spot and cleaned up
the table pretty thoroughly with
three mines. When it came to show
down, the query was made, "What
did you open WITH"
lnnocently enough the holder of
the big hand acknowledged pair
OF mines. His hand was claimed to
be foul one, and the pot was di.
vided among the players according
to their bets. This procedure did
not suit the jack pot opener, and he
left the table, denouncing all pres
ent as sharpers and swindlers.-

Cattle Utilized For Smuggling Opium.
Some of the shrewdest tricks
ever played are by the smugglers of
opium, said H. A. Tanning of Seat
tie, Wash. "A very unique snug
Cling scheme was unearthed few
years ago by United States secret
service officers in North Dakota. It
was noticed that an unusually large
number of cattle were being driven
across the line to the North Dakota
markets, and the secret service men
planned an investigation. For some
time their work was in vain, and
they had about given up hope of
discovering any unlawful opera
tions when an accident revealed the
fact that the nostrils of the cattle
were stuffed with opium wrapped
carefully in tinfoil. In this way
each steer was worth twice its nor
NAL value. Hundreds upon hundreds
of animals had been driven across
the border with their nostrils loaded
with opium, and it was estimated
that the smugglers had cleaned up
profit Of s25, 900 before the discov-
cry was made. But the smugglers
were sly, and they escaped and were
never captured. Louis Globe

CONDENSED BY FREEZING.
A Process by Which Milk May BE Pre-.
served Indefinitelu


served indefinitely.
Considering the wide and extend.
ed use of condensed milk products.
the method of manufacturing it by
freezing instead of heating proc
ess, as carried out at Cattaraugus.
N. Y, is importa and interesting.
The first treatment consists in plac-
ing the milk in vacuum chamber
to rid it of animal gases and atmos-
pheric air dissolved in the milk.
which appear at the surface in bub-
bles, and thus escape. This re-
duces the volume of the milk about
one-tenth. The milk leaves this
chamber at the proper temperature
for the removal of the fatty con-
tents by means of cream separator
which is set to run heavy cream.
During this process any foreign
matter, such as solid particles,
which are always in evidence, is
removed, and the cream is added
subsequently to the finished prod
uct.
From the separator the fat free
milk is run over a bank of copper
pipes, through which ice water cir
culates, reducing the temperature of
the milk from so degrees. After
passing over these cooling coils it is
placed IN refrigerating chambers
and constantly stirred. In about
nine hours the whole bulk of milk is
converted into mass of icy crystals
and milk sufficiently thick to form
into hummocks. This is again
placed in a centrifugal and the milk
reduced in volume about one.half.
An average sample of the ice, which
looks very much like snow, gives
on analysis only about two-tenths
OF l per cent of solid matter. The
now thick milk is returned to the
freezing closet, and in about seven
hours more it is reduced to dense
mass of crystals, which, after CEN
trlfugal treatment, measures only
one-quarter of the original bulk. A
third freezing of AZ hours and a
centrifugal extraction reduces the
bulk of the milk to about 10 per
cent of its original volume.
The final step of the process is the
admixture of the heavy cream in
proper proportions to the fat free
milk. This final product, or con-
densed milk, is fair representation
of milk minus the bulk of it's water,
Moreover, it is free from foreign
tiavors and has an aroma which is
true to the milk from which it is
prepared. 1t mixes readily with
water, forming milk from which
cream will separate as from IN
treated milk. To show the great
concentration of the milk, it may
be stated that, taking 100 gallons OF
milk as unit quantity, this would
reduce to - gallons in the end. In
other words, the 81 gallons of water
in the milk are formed into ice,
leaving an unfrozen balance of very
thick milk, which represents in
milk sugar, oasein and inorganic
salts fully nine gallons of solids.
The fat equivalent added by the
heavy cream removed in the first
operation is adjusted in the final
treatment to represent q dilutiou
with water three parts and con,
densed milk one part, a proportion
OF 3 6-10 per cent of milk fat, which
is the normal proportion in the
average milk. 1t is stated that con-
densed milk prepared in this man
ner will keep indefinitely, as the
micro organisms producing fer
mentation are destroyed Phila-
