SKIM-MILK FOR PAINT.
the Surplus Product Of
the Dairy.

A use to which skim milk, sour
milk, buttermilk or even whole sweet
milk is often put is paint making, yet
this product of the dairy. says the Sci
entific American, makes possibly one OF
the most enduring, preservative, re-
spectacle and inexpensive paints for
barns and outbuildings. It costs little
more than whitewash, provided no great
value is attached to the milk, and 1t :s
question whether for all kinds of rough
work 1t does not serve all the purposes
and more, Of the ready-mixed paint, or
even prime lead and paint mixed in the
best linseed oil.
1T Is made as follows, and no more
should be mixed than is to be used that
day: Stir into one gallon of milk about
three pounds Of Portland cement and
add sufficient Venetian red paint pow
der to impart good color. Any good
colored paint powder may be as well
used. The milk will hold the paint in
suspension. but the cement being very
heavy, will sink to the bottom, SO that 1t
becomes necessary to keep the mixture
we'll stirred with paddle.
Six hours after painting, this paint
will be as immovable and unaffected
by water as month-old paint. 1t is-a
splendid preservative, and have
known buildings which were painted
20 years ago In this manner, in which
the wood was we'll preserved. Whole
milk Is better than skim milk, as 1t con-
tains more OIL and this is the constit-
uent which sets the cement. With the
addition Of a small quantity of crude
carbolic acid, 1t makes fine disinfect-
ant and Is In every way suitable for
dairy work.

with radiator to the coil of pipes

Science in Buttor Making.

Our grandmothers never had to con-
slider the question Of thickness of cream.
To them It was all one whether the
cream was thick or thin. Since the test
has been brought into use 1t is discov-
cred that cream that contains about
35 per cent. Of pure butter fat is best
for buttermaking. The cream that is
only about 26 per cent. pure butter fat
often develops too much acid and makes
poor butter.

tore its way into the room and entered
her breast, killing her instantly.
Scarcely had the boys realized this
when they found the cottage to be on
fire over their heads. But they had
time to half-carry, half-drag Margot's
body to the street, and thence to the
house where 1t now lay, stretched
upon rough bench and covered by a
blanket. In this bare room, filled with
men. women and children whom fire
had rendered homeless during the
| night.
Outside. before the house, stood a
file OF soldiers in the uniform of the
Revolutionary troops, at whom the
homeless ones within stared appre-
hensively, as the sergeant in command
stood listening to woman who had
guided him and his men to their pres
ent halting-place
I'm there you will find them" she
said, in dull. apathetic way, pointing
to the door; "and with them is the
dead body of their mother, or whoever
she was
The sergeant thanked her; and,
after bidding his soldiers to stand
where they were, he went alone into
the house, the wretched occupants of
which shrank away from him.

stood in far corner of the room; and
near 1t. on the floor, Jean was
stretched asleep. with Pierre seated
beside him. his arms across his drawn
up knees, and his head sunk upon
them.
He, too, appeared to be sleeping.
But at the sound of the soldiers voice
he raised his head to look at him,
while a sullen light Of grief showed
for an instant in his heavy eyes. This.
however, softened into recognition. as
he heard the kindly tone and words.

Heaven and He'll. The man we all
love is thy good angel-Laro is thy
bad one; and betwixt the two art thou

piled. stroliing her cheek lovingly
He is now far-off over the seas. and
may never again see France nor

Il would be happier If were certain
of that" she said, taking up the candle
which was to light them to their cham
bers above.
They parted as usual for the night,
little thinking that this was to be the
last of earth's nights for one of them.
1t was the next morning-the morn
ing after the famelit, awful night that
witnessed the capture or Toulon by
the Revolutionists.
There is no need to repeat the story
which history has told of its horrors;
of the bombardment and assault; of
the unspeakable woe that was visited
upon those shut up within the doomed
city. The night was past; and now
had come the grief and sorrow of the
living, to fill the day with tears for
the dead; now had come the means
and cries of the mangled and dying.
In one of the lower rooms of a
small. partially burned house, not far
from the blackened ruins of her own
cottage, lay Margot, who had been
killed while she and the boys were
making preparations for flight to a
place of greater safety.
The three were in the living-room,
where her whirring wheel had filed

fore. She had made up the bundle

that Jean should conceal upon his per-
son the money intrusted to her by the
baron), when a large piece of shell

CHAPTER VI.

II was the night of December 10,
1893, with cold storm of wind and
rain making still cosier the living
room OF the cottage, where, not far
from the flames of the wood fire that
made more ruddy the neatly kept red
oil the brick hearth. Margot sat spin
ming, while Jean, curled up in a big
chair opposite, watched idly-as many
times before-her deft fingers smooth
and twist the fax.
Hast thou heard aught of Langue-
doc since we left?" he inquired.
Wondering what new mood had TAX
en- hold of the boy. that he should
bring up matters of which she had
never ventured to speak, but relieved

part to him information she had re-
ceived some time before, Margot re-
piled, Yes. The chateau has been
closed since the month after we left,
with only Tatro there as keeper; for
Monsieur Etienne has returned to
Paris. where he is in high favor with
the Great Committee.
'Peste!" The word, half sigh and
half hiss, was full of vindictiveness.
Then the. dagger did but slight injury,
after all, for all the rust on it's blade,
that would surely have poisoned bet

Jean, Jean, do not speak so. cried
Margot. looking aghast. Surely thou
couldst never really wish to kill thy
brother! always claimed that the
act was only because of thy mad
dened brain; and with good cause, as
any one with heart and feeling must
admit"
He is no brother of mine!" de-
clared the boy, his face kindling into
a fury of rage. Never you say such
a thing again, Margot. My name is
not his, nor is he any kin of Jean La
fitte'
She made no attempt to calm him;
but her face was troubled as she re-
sumed her work.

"Hark to the wind-how it pipes!
Sacre! What a STORM" exclaimed
Pierre, rousing again from his book,
as there came dash of rain upon the
windows. while blast roared over the
cottage and sent brisk puff down the
chimney.
"'Tis indeed a dreadful storm" Mar
got agreed; as she now drew her wheel
, farther away from the fireplace. But
there is one good thing to it."
What good can there be in such
a storm as this?" queried Jean, who
was hoping it had not reached far
enough westward to affect the comfort
. of her whose beautiful face was SO
often in his thoughts.
'.It will put stop to the bloodshed
for time at least. The best and
bravest soldiers would scarce think to
fight in such weather as this" replied
Margot, showing rare ignorance of
facts.
Little would they heed, so that it
did not wet their powder" asserted
Jean, assuming an air of superior wis
dom.
; She looked at him thoughtfully for
moment before she said, in voice
whose yearning seemed tinged with
hope, "If thoult grow up to be good
man, Jean, thou'lt' some day make
brave soldier"
"One can be brave without being
good.' answered the boy, his natural
waywardness asserting itself. although
he met her earnest eyes smilingly.
Your little colonel. whom we all
love-he has the bravery l mean.
Surely thou must own It's well to be
such man." she insisted.
Aye the boy said with defiant
smile; "but will be more like Laro."

tience now giving place to anger. "The

AMERICA TO SEEK

United States Will Take the Lead
at the Second Hague
Conference.

New York, May lon the eve of s
his departure for Brussels to attend
the session of the executive commit
Congressman Richard Bartholdt made
public today plans which are consid-
cred Of vital Importance in the move
ment for international peace. 1t is
planned that American leaders shallss
take the initiative at the second Hague !.
welt. Congressman Barthcldt, who is
president Of the 1nterparliamentary
union, says:
1t is the Interparliamentary union
which inspired the car to call the first
conference at The Hague and it is due
to it's action that President Roosevelt has y
called the second Hague conference. We
are on the eve of conference of nations,
in fact this is the time for moulders Of
public opinion to speak out as to what
should be done to bring about change insf
the method of settling international diff
culties, to evolve a method more in ac-sa
cordance with the requirements Of human &
civilization. g
Three Propositions. d
The American delegates to the next CON-
ference of the Interpariamentary union
to be held at Brussels in August, and s
whichc will largely devote itself to pre- e
| conference, will present three propositions =
The first is to bring the Central and 5;
| South American republics officially into $
| the peace movement, and this merely re-ss.
| quires the initiative of an invitation, be- Z
| cause these countries have really set the &
world an example in advancing action
along these lines.
The second proposition is to formulate
a model arbitration treaty in which the
subjects to be arbitrated shall be speci-s
| fed This demand results from the re-fC
| cent controversy between the president
and the senate, and it is to obviate theF
necessity of the president obtaining the
II consent of the senate in each case. 1tS
will enable the senate to confer on the /
president detailed authority in whole-I
sale treaty and thus save the real bene-ss
fits of arbitration
The third proposition is to fix the basis
of representation in a permanent con-
| gress of nations.
Can't Abolish War.
I will say that we-and by "we'' I mean
the active friends of peace and the mil.
lions behind them-are not so foolish as
to imagine that we can abolish war alb
solutely. For the present We do not even
| oppose appropriations for the necessary:
increase Of national Defense. because Wa;
know that as long as arbitration has
not been universally accepted as means
Of settling controversies between nations.
such defense will be essential to our ma
tional security.
We do not for the present advocate dis
armament, being absolutely certain that
a. permanent congress of nations and this
general addition of the people arbltratlon
= by the leading nations of the world will
be followed by disarmament as surely as
l. the dawn of morning will follow the dark
| ness of the night.

THOUSANDS COMING

week from Great Britain and the CON
tinent is the biggest crowd of immi-
grants ever scheduled to enter during
such period. The horde numbers nearly
$4,000. At Ellis Island, arrangements
have been made for their prompt
handling because the detention of any
part would at once tax the facilities Of
the immigration station far beyond its
limits.
Figures for the week that has just
closed were close to $4,000; showing
that the rush has been kept up for
longer period than ever before, and it is
likely that the total immigration for
the Spring will far exceed any previous
wear.
