SHOPPING ORDEAL IN BURMA
Requires Great Effort to Get the
shop Women to Show
Their Goods.

You may walk through the muddy
old markets Of Rangoon for hours at
time or through the brand new bazaar
at Mandalay without any Of the sales
people taking the slightest notice Of
you aa a possible purchaser Of their
wares The dear little ladies sit cross
legged upon long tables in front of the
high cupboards containing their goods.
They are placidly smoking or chatting
or painting their faces or braidlng
their hair They are not attending to
business in the least.
If the European is conspicuously
dressed or presents a figure which the
Burman, with his finely trained sense
of humor, considers at all ridiculous
then gay ripple Of laughter passes
along the stalls, and then indeed the
would-be customer Is noticed; but
otherwise the tourist is an object of
no interest whatever
1t requires a great effort to get a
Burmese SHOP woman (they are near
ly all women) to show you her silks,
and when at last she has spread her
merchandise broadcast upon the table
and you are revealing in the Illusion
that you are living in the middle of a
rainbow. with a chance of holding fast
to some of its colors, she will ask her
price (which is seldom more than one
rupee too much} and will stick to it
like glue.

ways who loves a quiet life, and she
has determined that her most COM
Portable course IS not to haggle in the
market place So you may make up
your mind that bargaining and persua-
sion are useless arts to practice in
Burma. however valuable they may
be elsewhere. -Blackwood's Magazine

STRANGE Idea OF "Fun. &.

A new kind of fun making was
inaugurated when there appeared
among the Personals in each of The

which read: Am now in a position 10

the name and address of man who
was about TO be married to an estima-
BILE young woman who, according TO
the rumor, was the possesBor of a
substantial fortune. OF course the ad-
vertisement was inserted and paid for
by somebody who suspected that he
or she was q humoTist. and lit appears

frequently the cost of removing such
stumps exceeds $40 an acre
On clay lands, blasting stumps with

Pasteurized Cheese Uniform in Quality
During the past year the dairy de-
partment Of the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture has manufactured cheddar
cheese from pasteurized milk. The
early experiments in this direction
were quite unsuccessful. but more re-
Gently. the method of handling curds
made from milk heated in "continu-
Gus flow" pasteurizer to 155 degrees
has been SO improved by Prof. J. l.
Gammis. that excellent results have
been secured The cheese made has
been very uniform in quality. Of
clean, mild flavor, and an almost per
feet texture During the past sum
mer such cheese has been sold under
ordinary commercial conditions to
test its keeping quality. The process
of pasteurizing destroys the great ma
jority OF organisms in the milk, so
that the addition Of properly selected
pure cultures gives a degree Of uni
formity with reference to the types
of organisms present that renders
conditions much more uniform than
with the old process.

Surface ReappOinted
Economic ZOOlOgist.

Governor Tener has reappointed
Prof. FL. A. Surface as Economic
Zoologist in the Department of
Agriculture for the next four years.
Upon this subject the Williamsport
Sun has recently commented ed
itorially as follows:
"The reappointment of Prof. H.
A. Surface to be State Economic
Zoologist, for four years more, is a
matter of great satisfaction, as we'll
as of extreme Importance, to this
section of the State, which is Just
coming into real appreciation of
what Prof. Surfaces magnificent
work is doing, and what it is worth.
The information disseminated by
him for the benefit of fruit growers,
the methods of tree treatment
prescribed by him, and the care
and intelligence given all queries
submitted to his department., stand
both for value and appreciation.

to pass out of Harrisburg recently,

vania is concerned, is of more i'm
portance than the reappointment

Lightning Rods and Insurance.

All owners of buildings in the
state of Ohio containing properly
constructed lightning rods are in
insured at cheaper rate than
structures not thus protected. A
law in that state provides for an
expert inspector of lightning rods
and all of these conductors that
bear out his inspection give to the
bu ilding containing them the adj
vantage of cheaper insurance. 1t
is just little strange that Penn
sylvanians have not investigated
and adopted the Ohio plan. 1t
would not only be a great saving
to property owners, but to in
surance companies as well. -

New Milk Law
Fixes States Standard.

In an interview, Dairy and
Food Commissioner Foust, CON-
mented upon the new milk law,
know as House Bill No. GAG, which
was approved by Governor Tenor
on the eight day of June, A. d.
1911. This law, said the Com
missioner, marks great step
forward in the interest of the
householder and the honest dairy
man. 1t puts the pump out of
commission as a substitute for the
good old brindle COW, and gives
the town child a chance to get fair
food.
The law, the Commissioner adds.
fixes the standard for milk-fat 3.25
per cent and that for total milk
solids at IL per cent, these being
the percentages below which milk
sold for household use, and to be
served in hotels, restaurants and
boarding houses, may not go.
This is the first law enacted in
Pennsylvania in which a milk
standard for the entire State has
been fixed. 1t is worthy of note
also, said the Commissioner, that
the standard thus set is identical
with the National milk standard
governing the milk trade between
the States. This standard was
proclaimed by the Secretary of
Agriculture of the United States
under authority of Congress, upon
the recommendation of an expert
commission who had studied the
milk la ws of the various cities and
commonwealths of the Union, as
we'll as the composition of milk of
known purity from thousands of
dairy cows of all breeds and from
all parts Of the country.
1t inter feres, however, with
no fair trade in any wholesome
milk or milk product. Skim milk
when clean and wholesome, may
still be sold if sold as such, for
household use, and milk yielded by
cows of low fat strains may easily
be brought to standard by the use
in the herd of cows producing fat
rich milk, or may be sold to the
creamery at its actual analysis.
The Commissioner further states
that this law also improves the
standard for cream, bringing up
the require ment to Is per cent as
in the National standard, and pro-
hibits the sale as cream of a mix
ture of cream with evaporated or
condensed milk, or with any other
substance having the effect of in
creasing it's thickness or consistency.
The analyses of creams recently on
sale in the State show clearly the
fairness of this standard.
