WORTH INVESTIGATING

The use of hand cream sep
arators is very rapidly grow
ing among farmers who milk
COWS for profit. Dairy men
prefer to purchase the cream
and be relieved of the work of
separating, and it is much more
profitable for the farmer to do
his own separating, for he
saves the skim milk on which
he can raise his calves, in addi-
ton to which he saves the haul
ing of his milk, which alone
amounts in many eases to the
monthly payments required to
buy a cream separator. The
best time to separate the cream
from the milk is while it is
fresh and warm. The cream
separates easier and a greater
percentage is obtained, and the
skim milk is left sweet and
fresh to be fed to the calves.
The U. S. Cream Separator,
sold by the Consolidated Wag-
on & Machine Company, has
geatest capacity, skins the
cleanest, works the easiest, and
lasts the longest. Agents

Reform in College Athletics.

The aim of the reformers in school
and college athletics should be clearly
and directly the betterment of condi-
tons, not the extirpation of the love
of combat which Is inherent in the ma
ture of mankind. The notion that
hard general work, resulting in full
muscular development, saps vitality,
weakens the organs and is a wearying
incubus to the individual is so illogi-
cal as hardly to deserve an answer. re-
marks the Boston Post But some per-
sons believe this Such should pity
the wild animals that, guided only by
an instructive physiological need, run,
jump, pursue and wrestle with one an
other, thereby using and developing
fully their whole bodies.

LOW WAGES IN SAXONY.
The Cost of Food Is Generally Higher
Than It Is in This
Country,

Coincident with the discussion of
the wage question in the United States,
Consul Pike, of Zittau, Saxony, writes
that the wage conditions in his dis
trict would make those of the United
States seem rather well off by COM
be found in the Trzebirge district, in
the lace, trimming, flower and top in
dustries. Although it Is possible in
some cases to find wages as high as
seven cents an hour, the usual rate is
212 cents, and there are many cases of
half cent and three-quarters being
paid. The workshop is usually in the
dwelling, and also constitutes the bed
room and kitchen of the family. The
working hours in many cases amount
to 80 hours a week, and every member
of the family, from the children to the
old people, take part in the work. At
the same time the cost of food is
higher, as a whole, than in the United
States. The following are some of the
retail prices Beefsteak, 26 cents a
pound pork, 20 cents; bacon, 81; ham,
49, veal, 10; mutton, IS, and butter,
80 cents a pound; chickens, SO cents
EACH eggs, 20 cents dozen; milk, FIVE

fee, 24.4S cents pound; flour, 1904 a
barrel; apples, 81, and potatoes, "a

PERFUME MADE IN GERMANY
Growth of Industry Makes That
Country Rival of France
and England.

Vice Consul Fuller writes from Han
over that the German perfume indus
try Is now one of the most important
and successful in the world, riyaling
that of France or England. He de-
scribes it in the following letter:
Some of the biggest factories are in
Leipsic, but Berlin, Carlsruhe and
Hamburg are important centers of the
trade. There has been vast increase
in the last few years in the diversity
Of essential oils produced from plants
and 40 varieties of those plants are
employed in the German factories,
which use as well such products of for
eign lands as nutmeg, cinnamon, cam
phor, balsams, pepper, musk and am
bergris.
The production of the essential oil
Is expensive, ranging from about 1927
a pound downward, according to the
scarcity OF the oil in the plant With
fresh flowers the distillatfon takes
place as near the place of picking as
possible, as the fresher the products
the better. The stills contain about
$500 pounds of flowers and the neces-
sary amount of water Great care Is
taken as to the amount of heat sup
piled and to its regularity, the process
being thoroughly controlled, an excel
lent product resulting.

IN CANDY BUSINESS
NO WASTE AS SCRAPS ARE AL
WAYS MADE USE OF.
Seasoned CONNECTIONS Considered the
Best-Maker of the Sweets
Must Be an Ar
fist

There is this similarity between the
candy business and the iron business
the scrap is not allowed to go to waste
An observer who had an idea that
candy manufacturers must have 70
stand lot of loss because candies get
stale, took the trouble to Investigate
and learned that his idea was wrong
says the New York Sun.
The big candy makers ship to their
agents throughout the country at stat
ed intervals usually of week, their
standard CONNECTIONS, and all not sold
at the expiration of the interval are
returned to the factory as scrap. AS
the candy Is mostly sugar, and sugar
Is as indestructible as iron, 1t is only
q question for the candy maker of get
ting the sugar value out OF the scrap
1t Is impossible to work over the
candy in its original form, but 1T can
be used in many ways. For example,
the chief use to which stale chocolates
are put is in making caramels and 9th
er chewey confections.
It's a mistaken idea that candy must
be fresh to be good. One manufacture
er who makes only for the trade and
confines himself chiefly to high-class
chocolates and honbons said that candy
wasn't fit to eat until it had been sea
soned for at least ten days. For his
own use-and he is a great lover OF
candy, despite the general belief that
no cook cares for his own messes-he
keeps chocolates about month before
eating them.
This man has no patience with those
who assert that colored candy is poi
scnous. His argument is simple. AS
he puts it:
Whats the use of putting poison in
candy when natural and harmless col
oring matter costs less? Who'd put
opium in cigarettes when tobacco is
cheaper than opium?
Its the same way in my business
| can turn out bonbons in any shade
you want-from the greenest of Gods
green grass to the pinkeSt PINK OF q
hunting coat, and do it all without the
aid of any ingredients but pure vege
table colorings.
II have no patience with those pure
food advocates when they come nosine
around the candy business. Few OF
them know what they are talking about
and the others have taken few spo
radio cases of children poisoned OF
merely made i'll by overindulgence in
cheap candies and condemn the lot OF
us.
THE candy business demands an ar
fist these days, when you have to make
displays of form and coloring to keep
in the forefront of the business"

FIND HEART OF RAME SEES,
Vital Organ of Great Egyptian King
Preserved in Vase for
3,l64 Years.

A recent issue of the Complies Rem
dus OF the Paris academy contains an
account OF the successful Identification
or the heart of Rameses H., the Sesos.
iris OF the Greeks, after having been
preserved since 1858 B. C. in soda and
reslnoid antiseptics.
Some months ago, says the New
YORK Times, the council of the Ma
tlonal Museum of the Louvre acquired
possession of the four vases In blue
enamel which contain the viscera and
heart of Rameses H.. and bear large
medalllons representing the names and
attributes of the king.
The directors of the Egyptian muse
UNI desired absolute confirmation as to
the contents OF the vases and intrusted
the examination OF their contents to
nj. Lortet, who, with his colleagues,
Professors Hugounenq, Renaut and
Rlgan, made careful physiological ex-
animation. Three of the vases con-
tanned bandages of linen tightly COM
pacted and hardened by the carbonate
or soda and aromatic resinous SUBJ
stances OF reddish color, which had
been employed as antiseptics and had
probably contained the stomach, intes-
tines and liver of the great king. These
viscera, however, were only found to
be represented by :. quantity of granu-
lar matter, mixed with large proper
ton of powdered carbonate of soda
and so could not be identified.
The fourth vase, which was fitted
with a lid or cover adorned with the
mead of jackal proved to contain the
heart This organ was found trans
formed into kind of oval plate, eight
centlmeters long and four centimeters
wide. The substance of the heart was
hornlike and the saw had to be used in
obtaining sections of it for examination
and finally the razor, so as to reduce
these sections to the attenuation neces-
sary for microscopic examination.
Under the miscroscope these sections
gave unmistakable evidence of the mus.
cular fibers peculiar to the heart, espe-
cially characterized by being arranged
in bundles of such fibers, crossing each
other Since this special muscular
arrangement is not found in any other
part of the body except the tongue and
as the mummy of Rameses H., which
is preserved at Cairo, contains the
tongue intact, the experts have nc
doubt whatever that the vase actually
contained the heart of Rameses II. fiat.
tened and transformed into hornlike
substance by its long sojourn in the
soda preservatives.
King Rameses II. died 1858 years be.
fore the Christian era and hence somt
1854 years have elapsed since his heart
was first embalmed
