MARKET FOR OUR CORN.
Possibilities Attending It's Introduc.
ton in China.

Mr.. y. Burlingame Johnson, United States
consul at Annoy, China, has written to the
State Department at length regarding corn
meal in China. He says:
1T is interesting to American corn grow
ers to know that for the first three months
of 1893 there was imported from foreign
countries and coast ports u monthly aver
age of IA, $40 piculs Q927O,577 pounds Of
rice TO supply the demand for cheap bread
stuff for this port and adjacent cities.
The average price was above az cents
Mexican (24 cents gold per pound.
"Cornmeal. grits and hominy could be
laid down here al a price which would
undersell rice during more than half the
year, II is only necessary to introduce the
corn products in an intelligent way, so as
to get the people to understand their use.
A good dema I'd and an eYer-increaSing out
let for the surplus corn Of our western
states would be created. 1t would require
only few hundred dollars to do this, yet
10 mill has been found willing to bear any
portion of the expense. One of the largest
concerns in the west, when the proposition
was laid before it, said it had nothing
to give away, and if Chinese wanted the
meal, they could have it by paying cash
Flour has been introduced here, in the
beginning not at a profit. Its increase in
consumption is marvellous. During the six
months ended June 30, 1898 2s,345 piculs
t,i 5000 pouiiusl were consumed, as
against 81, 446 picuis III, 27S,6 52 pounds) for
the same period of 1899, an increase of
7,jOS, 1873 pounds for the half year. This
too in the face of the fact that -four sells
for double the price of rice, while corn
products could be sold at less than the
average price Of rice, thus commencing
them to the thousands of people here who
must be daily supplied with food stuff i'm
ported from foreign countries.
1t would be worse than folly to dump a
cargo of the cornmeal on this market and
offer 1t for sale as miliers have suggest ed
1t must be introduced by first teaching q
number of cooks (who are all organized In
a guild, or unionb how to prepare it. and
then giving away a limited amount of the
cooked product through the public restau,

sizes of the "Wheeler Gravity Cream
Separator" were made at the Vermont
station. The Gravity Separator left in
the skim milk l3 per cent of the fat of
mixed Jersey milk, 40 per cent of the fat
of Ayrshire milk, and II per cent of the
fat of stripper mills, mostly Jersey. The
centrifugal separator left in the skim
milk between aud . per cent only of
the fat. The centrifugal separator,
moreover, was able to extract cream from
the diluted skim milk from the so-called
Gravity separator"
These result speak for themselves.
The cans are less efficient than centri-
fugal separators, less efficient than the
best forms of deep setting apparatus, and
no more efficient on the average than the
old fashioned shallow pan. 1t does not
seem as if the convenience, simplicity
and cheapness of the apparatus compen-

ought to compete successfully with a
centrifugal separator. The latter costs
more, but 1t saves more of the butter fat

Regardless OF Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
\ majority of the ills all citing people
to day is traceable to kidney trouble. 1t
pervades all classes of society, in all
climates, regardless of age, sex or
condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sleepessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid. or brck-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-flled blood Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube
casts (Wasting of the Kidneys are found
in the urine, which if neglected will
result in Brght's Disease, the most
dangerous form of kidney trouble.

CREAM RAISING.

Revival of an Old Method Criticised by
the ENperim mt Station.
There are places in the state where
there has been a good deal of talk of late
about "new" method of raising cream,
says recent report from the Vermont
Experiment station. 1t is sometimes
called the dilution method.
The process Is an old one which has
fallen on a new lease of life, largely
through the efforts of several concerns
which are selling cans specially devised
for the purpose. These cans vary more
or less in minor details, which, however,
do not appear to affect the character of
their work. The process is the same in
each case. The milk is diluted with an
equal or with greater bulk of water !;
the mixture is allowed to stand two hours
or more and is then skinned milk. The
advantages claimed for the method are
reduced cost, lessened labor, durability
and the DEVIATION of ice storage and use.
Incidentally 1t is stated that the cream is
got cleaner than with the creamery, and
that If the separator is rightly managed
all the cream will be obtained.
Some interesting tests of this method
have been reported recently by the Yer
mont Experiment station. This "new''
dilution method, as anyone can see, re-
quires more tank room and depreciates
the value of the skim milk. Besides this
the experiment station tests show that
the milk does not cream so well.

because it accomplshes in every instance

The MoIP's Ewes.

The mole has been supposed to be
almost destitute of eyes. either through
disuse or because it has little need of
such things in its underground habita-
ton. The new idea is that it burrows
in the ground to get out of the light. Its
eyes are so constructed as to receive
only the impression of light, and that
impression is painful or annoying to-
the animal, which dives underground
to get rid of the disagreeable sensation.

days encourage getting well. Nervous
diseases are less stubborn and debility
yields more quickly now than at any
other time.
1t will astOnish every one who knows
Paine's celery compound only by hear
say, to try it now and to see the change
from yellow, sallow, complexion to
fresh, healthy color; headaches will
wholly cease; sleep will refresh and the
mind grow clear. By means of this
great modern remedy the liver that has
been sluggish all winter becomes active,
and bilious attacks and the poisonous
headaches and the diseases akin to rheu-
matism which are its result, are cut
short.
If it were possible to make a house-to-
house canvass of families where Paine's
celery compound is being used during
these early spring days, an overwhelm-
ing amount of evidence would appear
showing the implicit confidence that is
placed In this greatest of all spring

FAMOUS SOUVENIRS.
RELICS OF CELEBRITIES WHICH ARE
NOW WIDELY DISTRIBUTED.

The Cradle and Sleigh of Napoleon
Prince Charles Walking Stick-Em-
press Josephine's Piano and the We'd
ding Dress of Marie Antoinette.
An interesting relic is the cradle in
which the Emperor Napoleon Bona
parte slumbered in his infancy. 1t Is
put to a pleasing use by its present
owner, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger.
Standing in a corner of her drawing
room, it is heaped full of flowers at
most times of the year. Mrs. Cruger
picked up the cradle in Paris at an auc-
ton. 1t is of dark wood and without
any particular ornamentation.
America possesses another relic of
Napoleon Bonaparte-the sleigh in
which he escaped from Russia in 1872.
1t belongs to a Chicago woman, and
has been in her husbands family for
fifty years or more. A parchment
certificate dated April I, 1916, and
signed by Bonaparte of Silesia-testi-
fies that this is the sleigh in which the
Emperor of the French made his es-
cape from Russia. The harness is a
wonderful piece of workmanship.
Queen Victoria treasures among her
relics Prince Charles walking stick,
the one which was mislaid by him on
the morning of Culloden and afterward
found in his bedroom. The handle of
the stick has carved upon it two heads,
one representing Wisdom, the other
Folly. The Queen got it at auction for
G160.
The Empress Josephines piano is in
a London showroom. 1t was made in
1903 by order of Napoleon and present
ed to the Empress. 1t was stolen dur
ing the sacking Of the Tuileries and
afterwards sold at public auction. The
