TREATED HIM LIKE LEPER
Characteristic French Method Of Pay

Made Him Forever Infamous.

Alexandra Dumas contributed to the
Curieux an anecdote told him by Henri
Didier, who was deputy, under the
Second empire. Didier's father was
secretary to the ministry Of the in
terror ut the time when the Duchesse
de Berri was arrested ut Nantes at
the end of her attempt to raise the
country against Louis Philippe and In
favor Of her son, the Count de Cham
bord. The traitor Deutz agreed to
sell to the government the secret Of
her hiding place for five hundred thou
sand francs, and 1t was the elder d.
dier's duty to pay the scoundred for his
dirty work. He took his son Henri
into the office and said: Look well
now at what passes, and never forget
II. You will learn what lache Is.
and the method Of paying him." Deutz
was then brought into the room where
Monsieur Didier was standing behind
his desk, on which were placed two
packets, each Of which contained two
hundred and fifty thousand francs. AS
Deutz neared the desk Monsieur Di-
der made sign to him to stop. Then,
taking a pair Of tongs, he extended
the packets, one after the other. into
the hands open to receive them. Not
a word was spoken, and, when the
transfer was effected, Monsieur Didier
pointed to the door.

SELLING CREAM FOR BUTTER
Fewer Cans Are Required for Hauling

Convenient TO Handle.


A good cream separator win skim

closely as a 25 per cent cream. The
only advantage Of selling cream for
butter-making purposes which tests
% per cent or less is the very small
amount Of mechanical loss. That is,
less will stick to the can and stirring
rod. But especially In warm weather,
when cream pours easily and me-
chanical losses are low, ricn cream
Is best. These are the reasons:
When cream is purchased on the
basis of Its test, nothing whatever Is
paid for any part Of It except the but
terfat. The richer you skim 1t the
more skim milk is kept on the farm.
A rich cream-One testing from 35
to As per cent-requires fewer cans
for hauling 1t in proportion to its
value, keeps longer in good condition,
is more quickly cooled and more
conveniently handled.
Transportation charges are less and
creameries prefer rich cream, so that
after the customary starter milk is
added, the cream will be Of about the
proper richness for churning. Every
cream separator has simple adjust
ment for regulating the richness OF
cream.

A Judge sitting as the juvenile court

through which they swim, and leave
the vat at the opposite end. The dip
