BORAXINTHEDAIRY

The problem of keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling and butter
making has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize that the
slightest faint or hint of staleness left
in a can, tin or churn may ruin whole
output; that the faint that is left is in
form of bacteria which grow and multi
ply in milk or butter, producing disas-
trous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of it's own which is, if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and there has been constant
clamor for dairy cleanser and sweet
ener that will meet modern require
ments.
A few of the largest creamery estab'
lishments called experts into consulta
ton on this problem, and these scien
tific aids decided unanimously upon Q
product of nature which exactly fills
the biIl-BORAX.
Scientists have long known borax as
cleanser, a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths that destroy all that is harm
full, preserves freshness, sweetness anC
purity, and relieves the dairyman anC
dairy housewife of drudgery and o
needless work and worry.

CHINESE DIPLOMAT
PORTRAYS KAISER

Berlin, September 26-An interesting
Chinese view of the Kaiser has been pub
lished in the Pekin Gazette from the pen
of Yu Shihmei, the Chinese statesman
who was sent to Europe on special mis-
sion to report on the different forms of
constitutional government.
Yu Shihmei was received by the Kaiser,
and in describing the audience and the
impressions the great German war lord
made upon him, he says
1.-The German Emperor entered by the
upper left-hand door and faced northeast
standing sideways.
I'VE all faced southeast, standing in Il
row according to rank and saluting in ac-

Emperor wore military dress and his

hand took over in person, respectfully

and then in accordance with practice pro-
ceeded to read my formal address, which
the interpreters at once rendered into
German. The German Emperor, in his re-
ply, said Un general terms) that he would
be very pleased TO aid where he could in
the object of my inquiries, but that con-
stitutional questions were always of a
very complex nature.
1.-The Emperor is some so years of age
and of middle height. He has a yellow
ish red tinge, and the ends of his
moustache turn upward. The eX-
preston of his face is remarkably alert,
and his gait Is very active. He can
undergo a great deal of hard work.

vince-say, two small ones, somewhere

story:
1.-THE relations between William and
his mother, the Emperor Frederick be-
came, at last, so bitter that William
placed spies about her-even in the
bedroom of his invalid father.
Through one of these spies William
learned of the existence of a journal
which his father had kept for some
years. Frederick had taste for writ
ing, and the fact that there was cold
ness between him and his son led Will
liam to fear that this secret journal
might contain some criticism of his
conduct.
''rhe Empress, however, was clever
enough to conceal the diary before her
husbands death. Eluding the surveillance
of her son, she sent the papers to her
mother, Queen Victoria or to her brother,
then Prince of Wales-I don't remember
which.
Hardly had his father drawn his last
breath when William, over the dead
body, performed his first official act.

BEATRICE MILLS

London, September 26.-Everybody here
expects very soon the announcement of
the engagement of the Earl of Granard
to Miss Beatrice Mills.
Lord Granard is very poor. but he is a
serious-minded young man, with political
aspirations, and by a sequence of remark
ably lucky episodes he holds the high
position of master of horse at King Ed
wards court. This, of course, Is a gov
eminent position, and Granard succeeded
to it when the Earl of Seton quarreled
with the liberal party last year.
Granard was captain in the Guards
three years ago, when the late Premier,
Campbell Zimmerman, was forming his
government and was at his wits end to
find among the few radical peers men
eligible for the posts at court that must
be given to the House of Lords Gran

SNAKES AT $50 A FOOT.
Big Ones Consequently Come High
Some Snakes Sold by the Pound.

Big Ones Consequently Come High
some Snakes Sold by the Pound.
Shakes" said a dealer In wild anil
mails and reptiles, increase in value
out Of all proportion to their size So
while you could buy a seven-foot py-
thon for S12, you couldn't begin to buy
one OF twice that length for twice that
price. A fourteen-fo6t python would
be worth $3.50. And python twenty
i've feet in length would cost $500.
Some sorts OF smaller snakes are
regularly sold by the pound, and we
sometimes buy big snakes in that way
Of sailors that bring them in on ships
coming from snake countries. We
weigh the big snake in q bag and pay
so much n pound for 1t.
But big snakes are not sold in that
way by dealers, nor are they sold by
the foot, though. OF course the length
governs the snakes value. But of two
snakes Of the same length one might
be worth more money than the other.
For snakes vary in their physical char
acterIstics just as human beings do,
and their prices vary accordingly.
"Of two big snakes OF the same
length and the same thickness one
might weigh fifty pounds more than
the other. And then OF two big snakes
of the same length one might be thin
and spare OF body, while the other was
thicker and bulkier. and as between
these two, other things being equal, the
bulkier snake would be worth the more,
because 1t would make the more strik-
Ing and imposing show.
Thus, while the length does gov
ern, II is not the only thing to be taken
Into account, and 80 big snakes are
sold neither by the pound nor by the
foot. but at prices 1xed on each indi-
vidual snake.
big snakes and little ones are sold
to geological parks and to show people
all over the country. For the very
largest snakes the demand is greater
than the supply"

woman who writes to the American
Magazine about race relations In the
South touches on this point to say that
the dangerous negroes are dangerous
to all women and girls. white or black
that the negro children go to school In
groups. as the white children do; and
that the negro women. like white wom-
en-, In the South recognize that 1t Is
not safe to go far from home unpro-
tected. This statement has probability
In its favor, and for various reasons
sounds true. 1t was worth making I;
the more so that we do not remember
to have seen 1t In print before. We
have all along known and deplored the
peril to the white women and chill
dren. but no one before this has thought
it worth while to mention that the
negro women and girls were In any
danger. The reason why this ought to
be known Is that a common danger Is
a strong tie, and the blacks and whites
in the South are developing antag-
onisms so fast that no tie that remains
ought to be ignored. After the Atlanta
riot decent people. white and black, got
together to discuss preventive meas
ures. That was the right way. Shot
gun methods will only increase their
perils.-Harper's Weekly.
