BUTTONS FROM SKIM MILK.

EAsToN, MD., Aug. 24.-Mr.
Joseph b. Harrington, proprietor of
the Easton creamery, has put in a
plant for making dried curd ont of
the milk after all the cream and
butter have been extracted from it.
The whey and curd are separated
and the latter dried down by heat
and evaporation until the residuum
is left as a hard and brittle solid
substance in the evaporating pans.
When taken from them the cakes
are broken into pieces, put in sacks
and shipped to dried curd factories,
where the stuff is ground into a
powder and used in the manufacture
OF paints ard glazings. Buttons and
other small articles heretofore made
from bone or celluloid are now made
from this material. There are two
factories In the United States using
dried curd-one in Vermont town
and another in Philadelphia. The
product from the Easton creamery is
shipped to the Vermont factory.
Heretofore this skinned milk has
gone to waste and been a total loss.
except a small portion of it fed to
hogs. To solidify it's not an expen-
sive operation, nor is a processing
plant costly, and it is found that
there is a good profit in securing this
residuum. Nature abhors waste as
much as she does a vacuum and the
business tendency now is to utilize
In some way every particle of the
raw material and have no waste. -

An INTERESTING DISCOVERY.

A few days ago the Register noted
the discovery in the Forbidden City at
Picking Of ancient records showing that
Chinese missionaries visited America in
The wear 499 A. D., and sailing along
the coast, reached Mexico, where they
built temples, and it was inferred by
some OF more or less scientific and
archaeological turn Of mind that these
early Celestials may have been the be-
ginning Of the Aztec race who ruled
the land when Cortez came. However
this NAV be, there is an added interest
in the matter through important dis
coyeries Just made in the City of Next
co. Excavations were being made just
back Of the great cathedral for a sew
er. when the workmen discovered the
tons Of the towers Of two temples, dat
ing from before the conquest. The
work was pushed, and resulted in the
unearthing of idols Of various sizes,
some OF them richly ornamented with
gold. gold vessels, sacrifcial knives, in
cense, masks, stones bearing dates, and
various other valuables, including, last
but not least, beads of pure jade. 1t
is argued that while jaue is not strictly
confined to China, it is more plentiful
in that country than elsewhere, and
has been esteemed as particularly fitted
for jewelry and ornaments for many
centuries, and it is thus sought to boil
ster up the Pekin story with the claim
that the jade beads probably came from
me other side Of the Pacific.
This is a rather far-fetched conclu-
sion, and will not be accepted by any
one without much additional evidence;
N5ut the Mexican find is none the less a
most valuable one. 1t is thought the
two temples uncovered belong to a Sc

CURRENT POETRY.
NOBLE AND GENTLE TuovcHT

A noble thought comes in our daily life
AS some great guest where common
men oft met:
And hushed is all the noise of paltry
strife,
The strut of souls that idly fume and
fret;
And where was mesnest greed is now
high aim
OF httleness distinction takes the place,
80 sure IS thoughts nobility to claim
It's precedence Of grounding blood and
race.
A gentle thought that in our life is born
Comes as some kindly priest in sober
guise,
Gliding the cry of hate, the taunt or
scorn,
Teaching fierce souls how sweet is love.
and wise;
And in IFS path is peace and tenderness,
Where anger and unrest prevailed, but
So sure is gentle thought, the priest to
bless
The souls that to its benediction bow.
