TESTING DAIRY PRODUCTS.
How Impurities In Milk and Butter.
May Be Detected.

How Impurities In Milk and Butter.
May Be Detected.
The housewife has at her command
scent means for preventing food de-
terioration except by the free use of
ice. She may, however, by a very sim
pie test satisfy herself as to whether
or not the milk she buys contains pre-
servatives, says the Kansas City
Times. The directions for making this
test are given by DR.. w. NJ. Cross,
city chemist of Kansas City.
'The substance most frequently
used to preserve milk" said DR.. Cross,
is formaldehyde. This is dangerous
poison and even when used only in
minute quantities will injure the
health Of infants. It's presence in milk
may be detected by the following
means:
'Fill wineglass or other small glass
receptacle half full of the milk to be
tested Pour upon this a small guam
tity Of sulphuric acid-not the chem
ically pure acid, but the grade known
as commercial This acid may be
.foated upon the milk without their
mixing by slightly inclining the glass
and adding the acid gently.
''Then hold the glass Of milk and
acid to the light If where the two
fluids come in contact there is a violet
line, formaldehyde is undoubtedly pres
ent. If the contact line is dark brown
or black, it is safe to conclude that the
milk is free from the preservative."
The United States department Of az
riculture has made public method
of distinguishing genuine butter from
renovated butter or oleomargarine that
every housekeeper, not an adept at
judging dairy products, would do well
to remember. 1t is at once simple and
sure.
"In the kitchen the test may be con-
Quoted as follows: Using as a source
IF heat an ordinary kerosene lamp,
turned low and with the chimney off,
melt the sample to be tested-a piece
the size Of a small nut-in an ordinary
tablespoon, Fastening the process by
stirring with a splinter of wooG. Then,
increasing the heat, bring to as brisk
a boil as possible, and after the boil
ing has begun stir the contents of the
spoon thoroughly, not neglecting the
outer edges, two or three times at in
tervals during the boiling.
"a gas fame if available can be
used perhaps more conveniently than
a kerosene lamp.
"Oleomargarine and renovated butter
boil noisily, suffering, more or less,
like a mixture of grease and water
when boiled, and produce no foam or
very little. Renovated butter produces
usually very small amount. Genuine
butter boils usually with less noise and
produces an abundance of foam.
| 'The difference in regard to foam is
/ very marked, as a rule Rarely but
ter is found which yields an uncertain
result"

How to Clean SatcheIs.


Soiled and dirty looking satchels,
hand bags and suit cases are as readily
cleaned as a pair of shoes and by pre-
cisely the same methods and materi-
ais, says the Pittsburg Press. Take a
box Of russell shoe polish and a coarse
rag. and one has all that is necessary
to keep brown leather in any form not
only in good, clean condition, but so
that it's life will be almost indefinite
The so called gun metal polish for
shoes is the sort to use on black bags,
whether the leather be of the smooth
or coarse grain pattern. Wipe the bag
or suit case with a dry rag then apply
the polish as to a pair of shoes and
when the polish is dry rub the surface
briskly with a coarse dry rag. The
bag or suit case will be rendered prac-
tically new by this means, and by re-
sorting to this at frequent intervals
the bag will always have the appear
ance that causes the hotel help to re-
gard it's possessor as ''swell" The
whole thing is SO simple, so ef1cacious,
50 economical in keeping down ex-
penses and yet so little-so very little
practice.

She Deceived lbsen.

The late Henrik Ibsen upheld the
superiority Of women in his dramas,
but in real life he considered them in
ferior to men in many lines of useful
ness generally classed as feminine. For
example, his friend. John Paulsen,
In the London Times says that one Of
Ibsen's maXims was this: mo woman
can write cookery book, and no WON
an can sew a button on fast"
He lived up to the latter part Of his
dictum. When he detected loose but
ton on any of his garments he retreat
ed to his own den, locked himself in
and with elaborate preparations sew
ed the button on. He took as much
pains with the work as he would with
the final copy Of one of his plays.
Then he used to brag about the per-
Torrance, saying that he would not
put trust In a button sewed on by any
woman, not even by his wife His
wife used to laugh. She confded to
Paulsen that she secretly reserved all
the buttons that the poet had sewed-
sewed them as only woman can, she
said He always forgot to fasten the
thread "Put don't undeceive him, !
the faithful wife added appealingly
1T makes him so happy to think that
ne does it."

How to Protect Plant Bulbs.

To protect bulbs cover the plants be
fore the co1ning of cold weather with
ten or twelve inches of litter from the
barnyard. Let this extend well over
each plant If this covering is not
readily obtained, leaves can be used to
advantage. Take box a foot deep
and at least two feet square. Knock
the bottom out of it and place it over
the plant Then fill in with leaves,
packing them down WELL When the
box is full, nail the bottom in place to
shed rain. Bank up about the box
with soil from the bed. In spring do
not uncover ;lntil the danger Of freez-
ing weather is over-that is, weather
cold enough to freeze the soil to the
depth of the bulb

Injury to FOLIAGE.

Under certain conditions there may

from the use Of bordeaux mixture, the

Market Quotations on scales.

The market price Of scalps, as agreed
upon between the early French colo
nists Of Louisiana and the Indians, with
whom they bargained to fight out
their battles with hostile Indians for
them, varied with circumstances. At
the time the French were at war with
the Alibamons a scalp of one Of the
last named when brought to them
was paid for at the rate of gun, five
pounds Of musket balls and as much
powder. ION the 18th of March"
Q704, writes De la Harpe, "a party
Of twenty Chicachos (Chickasaws)
brought in four Alfbamon scalps They
were given for each scalp gun, five
pounds Of balls and as much Of pow
der, according to the contract made
with them"

Ertlit In PACKAGES.

Plums, peaches and grapes are now
sold in packages much smaller than
those formerly used. This decreasing
of the size of the package in which
fruit is sold has enormously increased
the consumption of fruitwith all classes
of people. Many who could not afford
a barrel will readily buy a box or bas-
ket, especially since the box or basket
is light and portable and does not need
to be returned. Thus the gift package
In selling fruit has become almost uni
versal and, being made Of light wood
or veneer. it costs comparatively little
to the grower. There seems to be an
increasing tendency in the fruit trade
to sell fruit in packages that man can
take home in the hand-W. Ell. HUT.

GERMAN NOTIONS.
Square Tiles Like Painters Palettes
Used For Breakfast Plates.

square Tiles Like Painters PaletIeS
Used For Breakfast Plates.
For breakfast, instead Of plates, long
tiles are made in Germany, something
like a painters palette made square.
Instead Of a thumb hole there is only
a small hole in the middle Of one end
to hang this tile on a hook or peg.
These tiles are thick and glazed with
white, like any stoneware. One seen
was blue and white and one red in
pretty flowing designs
They are used for bread and butter
served with cup Of coffee. Doubtless
In Germany they are taken to the gar
den on bright mornings. Here they are
used as curios 1t is said that old gen
tlemen used to them would feel quite
''put OUT if given a round plate instead
of this tile, with good piece Of butter
on it, and a couple Of fresh rolls for
breakfast daily
German ways Of setting the table are
at variance with those of other coun-
tries. The knives for dinner parties
are arranged out at an angle into the
middle of the table. Knives and forks
are laid obliquely to the plate with the
tips touching it. Finger bowls have
spoons in them by which to dip the
water over the fingers This idea is
not out of the way

REAL BEAUTY SLEEP.
A Vienna Specialists Ideas on This
Fascinating Subject.

A Vienna Specialists Ideas on This
Fascinating Subject.
The old fashioned definition Of
beauty sleep was the sleep that is
taken before midnight. Beauty sleep
is the sleep a woman gets after she
has slept seven hours and before she
has slept nine, says a Viennese spe-
cialist
A woman needs all of seven hours
sleep for the building up of her sys-
tenn. Then she needs two hours more
for the recuperation Of her body and
the extra two hours will restore her
complexion, make her eyes bright, take
the wrinkles out of her face and keep
her form elastic
The woman who wants to derive the
fullest benefit from her beauty sleep
will compose her mind before sinking
off into slumber She will think
pleasant thoughts Worrying makes
burrows in the brow and sets lines
around the mouth A little light in a
bedroom is a good thing for some peo-
pie, for it will act cheerfully upon the
nerves and drive away nightmare.
Do not allow yourself to be awak-
ened in the morning If you mean to get
beauty sleep, or If you must be aroused
let it be ever so gently Do not wake
up with a start, with an alarm clock
or in consequence of a bell ringing,
for any of these sounds will jar the
nerves and destroy some of the good
the sleep has done you.

The CIadjoIus.

One of the most beautiful summer
flowers and one easy to grow is the
gladiolus. 1t belongs to the class OF
spring bulbs requiring to be taken up
in the fall Gilxe the dahlia) and kept
from frost until spring The flowers
are elegant in form and vary greatly
in color Some are white, some flesh,
yellow, pink, red, dark red, etc, while
others have these colors variegated.
They are borne in spikes eight to ten
or more inches in length, the single
flowers arranged tastefully along the
spike and opening gradually from the
lowest to the highest, says writer ia
National Stockman and Farmer.
The spikes are fine for indoor deco
ration, keeping a long time with the
stems placed in water and if the two
lower flowers are open when the spike
is cut the flowers will continue to open
gradually until all are out. It may be
said that only one thing is lacking
fragrance-to remind us that perfection
in earthly things is by no means easily
attained.

STOCK MARKET DULL.
Scrambled for Gold-Break in Price OF
Coppers.


Coppers.
New York, July 29.-There was little
disposition either to advance or depress
prices of stocks for most of the session
to-day and the market was excessively
dull. The indisposition to advance left
the market vulnerable to a dead weight
and caused the sagg ng tendency, which
led ultimately to the sharp break in the
final hour. The course of the trading
was the further outgrowth of the ten
denotes developed ever since the specu-
lation in the Hartman stocks was
checked last week. With the PERCEPTION
that the leadership of this group in
speculative movement was not to be
forthcoming for the present any con-
siderable operation for an advance
have been abandoned. 1t was obvious
to-day also that the uncertainties of
the money outlook bore heavier on SEN
timent. The Saturday bank statement
was partly responsible with its showing
Of the equal pace with which credit
expansion was keeping up with the re-
serve increase, in spite of the imminent
need of the crop moving demands. The
resumption of the gold export move
ment to France showed the manifold
demands for banking reserves. Still
more impressive was the scramble
which occurred for the $5,000,O0O of bar
gold available in the London market.
The urgent competition ran the price
up l Is penny and took all but $780,
600 against the efforts of the bank of
England. There was a withdrawal
from the Bank Of England for ship
