Money in Railroading.

A New York boulevard car was 60
ing north one day recently when, with
a sudden jar, the current was thrown
off and the passengers were bumped
rudely together. The car came to q
standstill. The motorman, says the
New York Times, threw open the front
door and ran back to the conductor
on the rear platform.
They exchanged a few words; then
both ran through the car to the front
platform. Every passenger sat mute
with surprise. Suddenly the car start
ed, and then backed. Then it started
again, and once more backed. Then
it stopped. Off jumped motorman and
conductor, and as the astonished pas
sengers looked out Of the windows
they saw the two men down on their
hands and knees, trying to crawl un.
der the car. Presently, with an ex.
clamation of delight, the motorman
covered with mud and CRIME, slowly
emerged. Entering the car and hold
ing up for inspection a ten-dollar bill
he said:
Excuse me. passengers, for Earring
you and keeping you waiting; but
came near running over this ten-dollal
bill, and I hated to do It and leave II

PETRlFlED MILK.

It 1s One of the Achievements of Mod
ern Chemistry.
"Chemistry is necessarily at work
to create new industrial values from
substances heretofore considered value
less," says Consul General Guenther
at Frankfort in a report to the newly
invented milk stone," or petri1ed
milk.
''It is a we'll known fact" said he.
quoting expert authority, that the
success of a creamery, where the chief
source of profit is, of course, butter.
does not depend so much upon the cost
of production and the selling price Of
butter as on the profits derived from
the skinned milk. The right market
for the milk skinned for the purpose
CT butter making is really the vital
question of the milk industry. Skim
med milk has been used for various
purposes-for the manufacture of SUI
gar of milk, as food for animals and
for milk champagne, which is skim
med milk mixed with fruit juices and
| impregnated with carbonic acid. A
rather large percentage of skinned
milk is also separated into its COM
ponent parts, which are then worked
up. The casein serves for the manu-
facture of cheese; also for glue, putty
and isolating substances.
| "But all these different uses Of SKIM
med milk did not solve the question
most favorably. This, however is
now expected from the newly invented
petrified milk. 1t is manufactured in
the following manner:
"By a chemical process the casein
IL precipitated as a yellowish-brown
powder, which is mixed with for1na-
line. Thereby hornlike product is
formed, called milk stone. This sub
stance, with various admixtures, forms
substitute for horn. turtle shell, ivory,
celluloid, marble, amber and hard
rubber. Handles for knives and
forks, paper cutters, crayons, pipes,
cigar holders, seals, marbles, stone
ornaments and billiard balls are now
made of SKINNED milk. The insolu-
bility of galalith, its easy working,
elasticity and proof against fire make
it very desirable. Already 10000
quarts of skinned milk are daily used
for this purpose in Austria"

'This travelling business is all right
as long as you stick to getting or
ders," said the young man as he wear
lily put down his grips and registered.
"But sometimes fellow makes fool
OF himself"
"Why, what's wrong?' asked tha
hotel clerk, as he wrote the travellers
name down on a little slip Of white
paper.
"You know Jackson-that grocery
salesman who stops here. I met him
on the train up in Wisconsin among
the inland lakes. Every time the train
stopped some prosperous-looking man
would get on with bunch of ducks.
By the time we head reached Oshkosh
jackson and 1 had it all fixed up that
we would go duck hunting. He said
he was born and raised in that part
of the country and knew Of an old
slough that the ducks simply couldn't
uass, and we could shoot as many as
the law allowed. It is fine to plan
hunting trip-better than getting Or
ders on the books.
1--WE rented a complete outfit, from
| suits to guns, and started early in the
afternoon. It was fine day for ducks
so the man said who rented us the
layout and held all the rest of our
money on deposit-in case we didn't
come back.
st don't want to be knocker, but I
really don't think Jackson knows much
about duck shooting. We sneaked
along the shores Of a small river, then
along a lake, crawling under barb
wire fences and over wooden fences
and making new trails through thick
underbrush. 1t showed most Of the
time and rained the rest. never saw
SO many ducks before in my life, but

their wits by exclaiming, "Come on,

Besides geographical and historical
questions he asked meanings of words,
had the pupils parse and spell, and
sometimes called for~the Latin deriva-
ton Of a word. When he had doubts
as to whether the children were going
to answer, he would give partial
reply himself, as, for instance, when
he asked, "What is the meaning of
volley?" Pause. what is it, sJessie?'
Anxious silence, which the master
breaks by saying, "a great many
guns" He fingered over every word
in the hope that the girl would catch
the cue-"going off at the same tt
'Time," says Jessie, quickly, and
that passed for an answer. The pupils
picked the final word of an answer
off the teachers tongue in that way
again and again, and he would dwell
on the first letter of the key-word as
long as he could, and lean forward in
keen anxiety that the pupil should not
force him to pronounce it all. Usually
his efforts met with a prompt reward,
and he could settle back in relief and
in pride over his pupils ability.

Master of the House.

A tale is told Of a family consisting
of two members, a middle-aged, under
sized man and his strapping, belliger-
ent wife, a woman whose temper was
worse than uncertain.
One evening, just at dusk. the neigh
bors were startled by hearing shrieks,
thumps and other unaccustomed noises
issuing from the house, and supposing
that the place had been entered by
burglars several persons went in at
the open door and proceeded to inves-
dgate.
The sounds came from an upper
room. Rushing upstairs, the tntruders
flung open a door, to discover the stall
wart lady Of the house brandishing a
rolling pin, while her unfortunate 9TH
er half, huddled against the wall under
the bed, was piping in a quaverins
voice:
II will be master In my own housel
I will be master in my own house,"

A HELPFUL TEACHER.

School life in Scotland seems not to
show all the discipline by which Scot
tish life has been stiffened for so many
centuries. Clifton johnson thus de-
scribes in "The Land of Heather"
little school in Scottish glen, when
the master put his children on exh1b1-
tion for the benefit Of his American
visitor:
"Stand, then," said the master.
The children stood up and repeated
the Lords Prayer in unison.
"Sit, then," said the master.
Usually the session began with the
singing of hymn, but the dominic ex-
planned that as several of his best
singers were absent, he did not feel
like having the singing before stran-
ger.
At the close of the prayer he asked
several pupils to repeat certain of the
commandments, and tell what was
| meant by them. The whole hour was
spent in these and other exercises of
religious character. The master said
it was the hour Of "the conscience
clause" Attendance was not compul-
sorry, and any parents who chose could
keep their children out till it was over.
But as a matter of fact, few of them
took advantage Of this privilege.
At 10 o'clock the master called off
the SO names he had on his roll, and
then he bade his oldest class read Sir
Walter Scott's poem, ''The Battle OF
Flodden."
This class Of seniors, which the mas
ter spoke of as ''the sixth standard" !"
recited sitting in the corner next the
platform, with their backs against the
continuous wall desk. Every child
kept the same key Of voice right
through, and only used punctuation
marks to catch breath. One would
think the poem itself conveyed no
meaning to their minds. and that they
were simply reciting a list Of words.
After the reading the master put
some questions to the class, beginning
with, "where is Floddenr II the
ones questioned hesitated, he FASTENED

chances of shooting any stray hunters.
81 got disguised and suggested going
back, but the grocery salesman said
we must go to that old slough where
be had never failed to get at least three
or four ducks with one shot We
dragged ourselves along another mile
or two, but felt repaid when we saw
a little bay half covered with ducks.
Jackson said they were mallards. We
crawled along on the wet ground until
we were within shooting distance.
Suddenly we heard people talking.
Looking up, we saw a new farmhouse
Just little back from the lake. Then
an awful suspicion flashed through our
minds at the same time. Jackson said
they must be tame ducks belonging to
farmer. They certainly did appear
civilized-didn't seem to be worrying
bit about being shot, and kept get
ting nearer and nearer. But we didn't
dare run the risk of shooting tame
ducks. We didn't care to run the risk
