MILK M
Recent Invention Of Which Swedish
Manufacturers Are Preparing
to Take Advantage.

An important movement appears to
be on foot in Sweden for the conversion
of SKINNED or separated milk into a
dry powder, by means Of machine
called an "exsiccator," invented by DR..
Martin Ekenberg. The price of one Of
these machines to evaporate 52S gallons
of milk in ten hours is stated somewhat
vaguely to be from e22O to 6 2SO, says
the London Standard. 1t was recently
reported that ten sets of apparatus were
being erected in Swedish dairy facto-
ries and that inquiries about the ma
chine from butter makers in Sweden
and foreign countries were numerous.
The powder, when dissolved in prop
er quantity of water of the right
temperature, resumes the appearance
and other characteristics of milk. AS
the annual output Of separated and
skinned milk in Sweden is estimated at
over 158,000,000 gallons, the supply of
the powder from that country alone, il
it proves commercial success. will be
very large, and in all other countries
where butter is extensively produced
the difficulty Of finding profitable use
for this product is felt. as the return for
it when it is used as food for calves or
pigs is small. Although separated milk
is almost devoid of fat, it's alimentary
value is considerable. and, in the form
of powder, large quantity of 1t can be
transported in small compass. 1t is
stated that the powder will keep good
for an Indefinitely long period.

AMERICANS NOT ECONOMICAL.
Such Is the Opinion OF q French Jour
naIist Recently Visitor in
This Country.

There is no country in the world
where people are less economical and
work harder than in the United
States"
This is the proposition laid down by
Jules Huret, the Paris journalist, who
has been seeing Yankeeland through
French eyes, reports the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
I'm France" he writes, zone sees all
over the streets the sign, Repairing
done here" In the United States they
do no repairs. When clothes, shoes or
furniture have served their time they
are thrown away. Machines ten years
old are sold for old iron, houses are
torn down to make room for more
modern ones"
He notes the wide use Of silk in
America among all classes, and re-
marks the privileges granted by the
United States to the silk manufactur-
ers, their exemption from taxes for
certain number of years, etc.
France, he says, would do we'll to en-
ulate this example and not permit her.

Way down in what might be called the
subterranean depths Of the building in
which a large part of the interior de-
partment effects are located, is a room

perhaps, but it's a condition and not a
theory, and that difference between the
two floors had to be guarded against.

UNLUCKY ROYAL NAMES.
Conspicuous Tor bringing
Misfortune.

The Christian name of Peter has never
been fashionable among royalties. This
country has never had monarch bap-
tized as Peter, and in other countries the
Peters have been unlucky, says the Lon
don Chrtnicle. Peter, or Pedro l., EN-
peror Of Brazil, abdicated after an un-
easy reign, and his son, Pedro H., was
driven to Europe by revolution. ana
died in Paris in 1891 Pedro, the Cruel,
of CASTLE and Leon, was slain by his
brother in single combat. Peter the
Great, of Russia, was guilty of frightful
excuses; his grandson, Peter H., reign
ed only three years, and died of smallpox
at the age of Is Peter III was de-
throned and. strangled by conspirators.
Peter l., of Servia. has already brutal
massacre behind him John is another
name avoided by royalties. We had
only one John, and the experience was
unhappy. IN Scotland such was the pop
ular repugnance to the name that when
the son of Robert II assembled the
throne he changed his name from John
to Robert Few of the Jameses died IN
their beds, and the alteration to Charles
was not a successful experiment Ed
ward, George, William and Henry have,
on the whole, been fortunate names for
our soyereigns to bear.

Leave him little longer and in due

SPOOLS MADE FROM PULP.
Material Now Used in the Manufac-
ture of the Reels of Larger
Size.

The process Of making spools from
pulp has been In course Of develop
ment for the past two years, and many
obstacles have had to be overcome be-
fore the spool was perfected. 1t was
comparatively easy to mold the spool
into the proper form, but after it had
become dry and hard the difficulty was
to grind or turn it into the proper
size to hold the required amount of
thread. This trouble has now been
overcome, reports the Hartford Cou-
rant Pulp will be used only for the
large size of spools, as 1t is not prac-
teal to ma Ike the smaller spools OF
that material.
Many of the large spools are nearly
four inches in diameter and up to the
present time they have been made of
wood. When they were first made they
were turned from a single piece OF
wood. but it was discovered that in
many cases the pressure of the thread
as it was wound on the spool would
push the head off the barrel, although
it was the same piece of wood. In or
der to remedy this difficulty, it became
necessary to make the large spools
from three pieces, the barrel and the
two heads, and when the heads were
closely fitted to the barrel and glued,
they were found to remain better than
when they were one piece Of wood.

SHERIFF SAVED THE DAY.
In Order to Prevent BlOOdshed He
Was Compelled to Do Some
killing.

Opie Read, the novelist, was telling
of his experience as a journalist in
Kentucky some years ago, says the
New York World
There was a good deal of news" he
said, "such as shootings and knifngs.
but this news was not regarded as i'm
portant and little attention was paid
to it. l remember once when a local
feud broke out atresh, when members
of the opposing sides met at the coun-
~ seat.
There were hot words, blow was
struck, and weapons were drawn,
when the sheriff interfered. He loudly
announced that he would not tolerate
any violence, ordered the parties to
separate, and when his orders were
not obeyed he began shooting.
81 forget whether he killed eight or
nine, but l know that in describing
the incident in my paper l commended
the sheriff for his prompt action and
bravery, and added the paragraph:
There is no doubt but for the prompt
action of the sheriff there would have
