Experiments That Brought It About
 Were Made By a Woman.
 How and when was condensed milk discovered?" said D. M Miedell. s.Well, that is an easy question, known to all vendors of the article.
 Ut chanced that i'll 1854 the journey from New Orleans to New York was a considerable trip. "A certain lady Mrs Albert Cashingor-had sick baby, and on account of that con densed milk was discovered.
 Mrs Cashingors baby was so il that she realized that it would be ne- cessary to make trip to New York to receive expert medical attention 1T she hoped to save the child's life. But to travel that long distance the child had to have milk Milk wouldn't keep fresh more than a few hours. So there she was, kept back from making the trip, merely because she could not sup ply the child with fresh milk.
 .In her despair she began to experi- neDt to see if she could not preserve milk the same as she did jelly or any thing else. She tried several differ ent methods and finally hit upon & plan which seeemed to give satlsfac- tion. So she preserved several big jars of the stuff, put it upon sailing vessel and made the trip. The child fed upon the milk and was nourished.
 Tn New York several men learned of her discovery. They tried to make some of the condensed milk in the manner that she had told them, but failed. They followed her to New Orleans and there she unwittingly un- folded her valuable secret. On the Island of Galveston these men started a small factory and there the first sal able condensed milk was made.
 "The woman died poor. The manu- facturers made fortune. Now con densed milk is sold ill every part of the world. ."-Louisville Herald.

IT. rigation projects and forestry schemes show, however. that we are changing all that.

THE sPR1TE.

and often bowling piteously Some times she would run up to "The Sprite' and throw herself on her back in front of him, just as some dogs will do when they meet any one they are pleased to see, or when they wish to be petted. When any of us went near, she dashed around the cage, stopping now and then to wag her tail, and expressing great delight At times the vixen would leap into the upper compartment of the den. and scratch in the bedding of leaves. Once, while she was there, piece of cloth was held out to her. She took it in her mouth and drew it in and then smoothed it out by poking and batting it with her nose to take out the Jumps. Then she covered the cloth over with the leaves which were in the, box, but for some reason the arrangement did not suit her, and she took the cloth in her mouth and flung out of the den.
 At half-past six the next morning, when we went out to see her, she jumped out of the den, yawning and stretching as usual, but without recog- nizing us in the usual way. Then she growled, dashed into the upper com partrnent of the den, and soon reap peared with a newly-born cub in her mouth. She dropped it on the ground, pushed 1t with her nose, and then picked it up again, and in great agi- tation carried 1t to different parts of the cage, as though looking for a safe place to deposit it. When we went away, she carried it back into the den, where she eventually discovered the whole family of five baby foxes. And since then, whenever disturbed she would pick up one of the little ones and carry it to new place. Finally, she made hollow in the leaves at one corner of the cage, and put all the babies into it. spread an awning over that part of the cage, and they have been there ever since. "The Sprite" showed great interest in the proceed ings from the first, and would un- doubtedly have taken part in them had the vixen allowed him to do so. But whenever he poked his nose into the den to have a look at the children, the mother snapped at him, and drove him away. But he seemed to take it all in good part. and when another chance offered tried 1t again. Once, when one of the cubs had been left on the ground and the vixen had gone for another one, "The Sprite" saw his op- portunity and made the most of it. He walked up to the baby, sniffed it, pushed it gently with his nose, all the while waggins his tail, and then he began to leap playfully over it, each time landing close to it. but never up on it. How long he would have amused himself in this way we shall never know, for in the midst of the sport the vixen flew at him and drove him off in hurry. Then she picked up the baby and carried 1t away.

Mrs. Powell on Trial For Murder at

 DOVER, Del, May 4.-With crowd ed courtroom and with public interest more intense than ever the trial of Mrs. Mary A. Powell for the murder of Estelle Albin was resumed in the Kent county court.
 James Hollinger. neighbor of the Powells, was the first witness for the state. He identified the prisoner at the bar as Mrs. Powell. He described the location of the Powell home and said that it was in North Murderkill Hun dred. It is sometimes said to be in South MurderkilI Hundred, so close to the dividing line does it stand, and this uncertainty may be made to play Il conspicuous part in the prisoners de- fense.

 AUSTIN, Tex, May 4.-This section and all central Texas was visited by a terrific cloudburst yesterday afternoon, the rain pouring down in. incessant tor rents for several hours. The streets were wrecked by the flood of water, and great damage was done to crops in the fields.
 A number of bridges were washed away during the storm, and country roads will be impossible for several days. It was the most terrific rain- storm that has visited this section in years.
 The trains arriving here from the north came through water six inches on the tracks, and the train crews had to clear the track of drift at many points. Three railroad bridges and much track are washed away.
