Germany Wants to Know Why Our
Ships Never Visit Her Ports.
Berlin. March 30.-The decision of
President Roosevelt not to send the
United States North Atlantic squadron
to kiel for the regatta week is ac
cepted officially as being wise. though
Emperor William much desired the
presence of the American warships to
enliven the annual yachting season
1t is understood here that the Wash
ington view of the case was that the
visit of the squadron to German wa
ters would have been considered by
the European cabinets to be in the ma
ture of a friendly demonstration. un-
less the warships also touched at other
shores, and the United States navy
department was not willing to enter
upon prolonged social campaign.
The Germans added. however. that it
is not understood why American ships
consistently stay away from German
ports.
1t is remarked that the United
States squadron touched Italian.

Demand for Condensed Milk.

It is doubtless true that the de-
mand for condensed milk Is on the
increase. A good many families that
once used cows milk now use con-
densed milk. Recently the writer Wis
tied friend living in a small Michi-
gan town. and was surprised to see
condensed milk on the table. Cows
milk was also on the table, but the
family used mostly the condensed
milk. Taking all things into consid-
Grafton they regarded the condensed
article as cheap as the other, though
prices for the latter were very reas-
enable.
There a"e several reasons why a
large nup.ber of people prefer the
condensed milk In the first place,
they assume that it has been heated
to point that kills all germ life
which probably is not true. In the
second place, they believe that the
milk from which this condensed ar
ticle was made is cleaner than the
milk generally Northumberland this is
NCi tuibiy u ut. Hc udo WIN
in few years heard great deal
about the filthy conditions in which
many of our dairy herds live and
produce milk, and they are fleeing
from such milk 1t is also quite gen.
orally known that the condensing
factories are very eXacting in the mat
ter of the milk they use. A trip
among the suppliers of milk for con-
densing factories shows whitewashed
stables, well-lighted and well-ventilat-
ed, barnyards well-drained and clean
ly kept, milk cans perfectly clean and
bright, and cement cooling watts in
which is running cold water. The
milk inspectors do not hesitate to or
der the methods that will give clean
milk where ordering is necessary.
We have known the milk of farmers
refused because they would not put
in ventilator. For such reasons the
companies that make condensed milk
find the demand for their goods con-
stantly increasing. The census Of
1890 showed an annual production Of
37,926,S21 pounds of condensed milk;
the census of 1900 showed an annual
production of 1S6921,7S7 pounds, an
increase of nearly 500 per cent.

Chicano MILK Trade.

A report of the United States De
partment of Agriculture says that
Chicago uses daily 169,465 gallons OF
milk. There are 1929 firms engaged
in selling milk. Over $4,000 quarts OF
bottled milk come into the city each
day, but only two companies fill all
of their bottles in the country. There
are 80 dairy herds inside the city lin.
its, which have an aggregate of APO
cows. There are 1880 COWS kept pri'
vately. These city cows produce daily
$500 gallons of milk. There are 1000
dairy farms outside of Chicago that
send milk to the city, and most of the
milk goes in over 16 railroads. The
railroad charge is from s to 22 cents
per can. The largest haul is 142 miles,
but most of the milk comes from
territory within 100 miles of the city.
This milk producing territory includes
Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois
and Northern Indiana. There is no
uniform charge among the railroads
for hauling milk, but each road has q
tariff of its own.

Queer Freak of the Brain.

In England last year case occur
red in which a delrious woman rE-
covered her mastery of a language
which she had been unable to speak
for seventy years. She had been born
in India and the first form of speech
taught her was the native Hindostani
for her nurses. At the age of she
had been removed to Europe, living
in turn in France and Germany be-
fore going to England to complete her
education. Afterward she had re-
tanned her proficiency in French and
German, but all but few words OF
Hindostani had passed from her mem
O6y. In her delrium she talked fluent
~ IN Hindostani and friends about her
who knew the language were able to
follow her sayings to her nurses as
she recalled her conversations in In
dia of seventy years earlier. Then
the talk changed. She passed into
French and from that to German,
while when she was nearing recovery
her utterances changed to Englisk.
When she recovered all recollection OF
Hindostani had again left her.

Find Writ of George II.

A court document, issued in 1741 in
the name of King George II of Great
Britain. and bearing his seal, has been
unearthed in an attic Of an old house
in Sandwich, Mass. 1t is an execution
against one John Hyland, Jr., to salts
fly judgment obtained by James Otis
of Barnstable, father Of James Otis,
the American revolutionary piopeer.
1t appears that the principal saw.
Snills in this section were in those
days located at Scituate, and there
was much trading between Sandwich
and Barnstable. Private documents
and court records go to show that
James Otis bought lumber of Hyland
previous to 1877, and that when their
business transactions closed there was
balance of SO 9s. Cd. in favor OF
Otis. Failing to get a settlement, Otis
brought suit, and as the document just
discovered shows, was awarded the
full amount of his claim with an ad-
ditional allowance of 6 for costs OF
court and the writ.
In the writ power is granted to the
sheriff of the county or his under
Sheriff power to seize the body of Hy-
land. place him in the Plymouth Jail
and seize his lands, chattels and goods
until the amount and fees mentioned
are paid.

KITEa AS WAR ENGINES.
Used for Ships to Take Photographs
From Great HeiqhtS.

The kite, which used to be regarded
as a mere toy, is now in constant use
for making meteorological observa-
lions in the upper regions Of the at
mosphere.
But the kite used for scientific pur-
poses is a very different instrument
from the fiat linen arrangement which
is often such source of sorrow to
over-expectant boyhood. The modern
kite will sail at distance from the
earth of a mile or more, and requires
small engine to coil up It's metal
string and bring it back to terra firma.
A number of kites have been or
dered by the admiralty for use during
the summer maneuvers. and 1t is the
intention, we understand, to arm these
kites with cameras so that views may
be taken from great heights.
Photography for purposes OF war
fare is not a new idea. AS long ago as
the year 1877 the late Mr. Woodbury.
patented an aerial camera which he
constructed for the purpose. 1t was
carried up in the air by small bal
loon, and the necessary uncovering OF
the lens of the camera was operated
by electricity through the medium OF
wires woven into the string which held
the balloon captive.
Kites as now made are capable OF
nearing considerable weights, and they
are obviously more convenient in use
than lloons.-Chambers' Journal.

WASHINGTON Dairyina.

The number of creameries in the
state Of Washington in 1901 was 249,
an increase of So over the preceding
year. The amount of butter manu-
featured was Assesses pounds, an in
crease over the preceding year OF
l,l50,141 pounds. Last year the num-
Der Of creameries was 345. and the
manufactured butter product amount
ed to 5,8S3.251 pounds, an increase
of 996,423 pounds over the preceding
year. The report of the State Dairy
commission shows that the average
wages paid buttermakers is S66.66 per
month and the average wages paid
assistants was $40 per month. The
average value of each creamery plant
Is estimated at $500.
There are Al cheese factories in the
state and their product last year was
1.128,735 pounds, an increase of 22,S02
pounds over the preceding year. The
average value of the cheese factories
is $1,000. The local creameries and
cheese factories are not by any means
supplying the state, even with the
help of the farm dairies. Millions of
pounds of butter and cheese have to be
imported to make up the deficiency.
A part of the butter made in Wash
ington is shipped to Alaska, where
the price is very good During some
years the amount shipped reaches
nearly million pounds.
The law relative to inspection 10
poorly enforced on account of lack of
appropriations Preservatives in milk
are used to some extent; but the users
when discovered are prosecuted and
fined. Formalin is the most common
preseTvative used as it can with diff
Guilty be detected after the milk be-
gins to sour.
The average price of butter for ten
months during 1902 was four cents
per pound higher on the Seattle mar
ket than on the Elgin market. There
are $4,000 mich COWS in the state.

Sesame Oil and Maruarine.

1t is declared that when less than
ten per cent of margarine is mixed
with butter it is impossible to detect
its presence. Several foreign govern
meSts have therefore passed laws
compelling the manufacturers of mar
garine to mix with their product a
very small quantity of sesame oil,
which can be readily detected on an
alysis, but. which does not affect the
flavor of the margarine. So far Ger
many, Austria and Belgium have
made this rule. Now the French min
lister of agriculture has introduced a
bill into the national assembly max
ing the use of sesame oil compulsory.
The bill provides in addition that
henceforth no oleomargarine can be
imported into that country that does
not have some sort of ingrSient in it
that will make it's character easy OF
detection.

Cut Hair While Asleep.

Miss Blanche Pacetti, pretty girl
of Savannah. Ca. is in Mysteries over
the loss of her hair which, it is said,
was the most beautiful in the state.
While in a somnambulistic trance the
other night Miss Pscetti sheared away
her tresses. Her hair reached to her
feet and was of fine color and silky
texture and was the pride of herself
and her parents.
She retired in the evening in perfect
health. She has not been somnambu-
listic and she knows no reason why
she should have arisen in the night.
While asleep she walked TO a table,
got her mothers scissors and cut off
her hair close to her head, leaving the
coil on the table. The scissors she
took with her and placed them on the
floor by the bedside.
When Miss Pacetti awoke in the
morning she noticed a strange light
ness about her head! She raised her
hands and was Mortified to discover
she had lost her hair.

KILLED BY A LAUGH.
II Set OF Some NltrogIycerln, and
Bio Explosion Followed.

An accident, one of the most ex-
traordinary on record, has just oc-
Cured at some new oilflelds In the
Baku district of Russia, on the Dor.
ders of the Caspian sea.
One of the big "gusher" oil wells be-
came choked, and, with a view Of
blowing it clear, number of iron
drums full of nitroglycerin were
brought down from Derbend and de-
posted overnight in large shed
which was used by the men as sort
of canteen.
The steward of this establishment, a
Greek named Darios, opened one Of
the drums for some reason best
known to himself, and "decanted" a
small quantity of the dangerous liquid
into long thin glass for mixing vod-
ka. This he placed on shelf behind
the bar.
Shortly afterward there entered a
workman named Borkovitch, who was
famous for the boisterous hilarity Of
his manner, and especially for his
loud, resonant laughter.
The sight of nitrOglycerin in vod-
ka tumbler so excited his visibility
that he gave vent to series of stem
torian outlaws. This set the half-f1lled
glass ringing" and the treacherous
contents exploded.
The conclusion sufficed, in its turn,
to explode the rest of the stuff in the
drums. entirely demolishing the shed
and killing FIVE persons, all who were
in it at the time.
The barman escaped through hav-
ing gone down into the cellar just
previously, whence he distinctly heard
the laughter, followed by the musical

Side Shows at Fairs.

strong condemnation and energetic
protests. From year to year we have
noted a steady improvement, till in
most cases the really Objectionable
features have disappeared The prin-

shows are mostly worthless. They
neither instruct nor entertain. The
