The following process for the detec-
ton of added water or of SKINNED
milk in ordinary milk is more aecu-
rate thap the simple use OF the lac
todensimeter without the creamome-
ter check The whole test can be
made in Ave minutes The result
does not show whether the adultera-
ton consisted in the addition of wa
ter or In the subtraction of cream, but
as a rule this matters little to the con-
sumner What he wants to know is
whether or not he had what he paid
for,
The suspected milk Is stirred with a
spoon, In order to disseminate into
the whole liquid the cream which may
have come to the surface. Then one
volume of milk is poured into fifty
volumes of water, Zone fluid ounce
to two and half pints) A candle
is lighted In a dark room. The expe-
rimenter takes an ordinary drinking
glass with a tolerably fiat and even
bottom. and holds Il right above the
candle, at a distance of about one
foot from It. so as to be able TO see
the fame of the candle through the
bottom of the glass. He then pours
slowly and carefully the diluted milk
into the glass.
The flame becomes less and less
bright as the level OF the liquid rises
into the glass The flame Is soon re-
duced TO a dull white spot. A little
more liquid. slowly added so as to
avoid pouring an excess, and the
flame becomes absolutely invisible
All that remains to be done is to
measure the height of the liquid in the
glass. this being most conveniently
ascertained by dipping into it strip
OF pasteboard and then measuring the
wet part

In Early Days
Republican Simplicity" Vas BY
No Means the Rule During
the Regime Of Washington

president WASHINGTON never
went to congress on pubic bust
ness except in a stage coach drawn
by six cream-colored horses. The
coach was an object which would ex-
cite the admiration OF the throngs
even now In our streets. 1t was built
in the shape of hemisphere, and its
panels were adorned with cupids sur
rounded with flowers and fruits. The
coachman and positions were arrayed
In gorgeous liveries OF white and
scarlet.
The Philadelphia Gazette. govern
ment organ, regularly gave out court
news for the edification of the citi-
zens. From this journal the people
were permitted to learn as much as it
was deemed proper they should know
about the presidents movements. and
fair amount of space was also de-
voted to Mrs. Washington, who was,
however, not referred to as Mrs.
Washington" but as "the amiable
consort of our beloved president"
When the president made his appear
ance at a ball or a public reception a
dais was erected for him. upon which
he might stand apart from the throng,
and the guests or visitors bowed to
him in solemn silence.
Republican simplicity" has only
come In later times. Very few per
sons presumed to shake hands with
General Washington. One of his
friends, Governor Morris. rashly
undertook, for a foolish wager, to go
up to him and slap him on the shout
Ger. saying: my dear general, | am
happy to see you so well. At least
there is a tradition to that effect. The
moment fixed upon arrived, and Mr..
Morris, already half-repenting OF his
wager, went up to Washington, placed
his and upon his shoulder and ut
tered the prescribed words. Wash
ington. as the story has it. stepped
suddenly bach, fixed his gaze upon
Morris for several moments with an
angry frown. until the latter retreated
abashed and sought refuge in the
crowd. No one else ever tried sim

The boy set to work. An hour or
