Among the curious characters that lived in London during the early part of the eighteenth century was Thomas Britton. a celebrated musician and coal dealer. He died on Sept. 14. 1714. He rented-ta house in London. commenced business, and occupied his leisure hours in, learning chem istry and music. He became an adept in chemistry and music and exceiled in many curious arts and crafts. all of which he had acquired without neglecting his coal trade. During the day he was seen with his sack and measure, crying Small Coal" and in the evening conducting a concert at his house, where men of fashion and we'll dressed ladies of high rank as- ceded a ladder in order to get to his room, there to regale their ears. His death was brought about by a ven- triloquist friend of his, who during one of the evening musical entertain ments pronounced these words dis tinctly: "Thornas Britton. go home for thou shalt die.'' Britton. suppos- ing the voice to have proceeded from an angel. went home and to bed, where he soon died from worry.

THE MILK PLANT

AS a rule the milk arrives at the dealers plant by freight in cans or various sizes. Experience has taught that before this milk can be bottled and sold to the public it should be clarified, pasteurized and cooled. Therefore as soon as the milk ar rives at the plant it is kept flowing in a continuous stream. It first goes to the dump tank, then to the clarifier, hence to the pasteurizer, then over the coolers and finally into the bottle. By this process the milk is rid of ahy impurities and rendered safe from harmful bacteria. The bottled milk must then be put in the refrigerator and kept cold until morning wfaen the myriad of milk wagons arrive to take it to the consumers door.
 It can be readily understood that this all takes large amount of man and horse labor and large amount of fuel A competent office force must be employed to keep the accounts. Due to the competitive system the milk wagons must travel many miles more than is necessary; it being a very common thing for a three-famliy flat to be visited by as many different milk men.
 Bottles are always becoming lost and broken. It has been figured by the United States Department of Az riculture in Washington that the av- craze life of milk bottle is but twen- ty-two trips This means that with bottles at five cents a piece wholesale, one-quarter cent is added to the cost of each quart of milk sold.
 In order to supply the very fluctu- ating demand the dealer must always buy more milk than he can sell as milk This surplus as it is called, he must make up into products such as butter, cheese and ice cream, which makes it impossible for him to recov- CT as much for it as when sold in the form of milk.
 Bad bills are another item of cost that those who pay their bills are obliged to stand for.

KEEPING DOWN THE CosV
 OF WEARING APPAREL.


 A great problem has confronted the sotail dealers in mems women's, boys, and children.s clothing, this fall in keeping prices down and values up in face of the very marked advances all along the line in wools
 In talk with the manager of the Caesar Misch stores he emphasized the fact that quantity buying was more necessary nowaoays than ever. That the Caesar M.sch stores opera ting throughout New England were able to purchase tremendous Quanti- ties from the manufacturers and so could keep their retail prices nearer the same old level and give values that were every bit as good as it was customary for them to give in form CT years.
 The new fall ards early winter fash ions show very decided differences from thoses of former years so that this store at Main, Gold Hill and Mid dle streets is really at the present time vast exhibit of the greatest in terest to those who would keep in touch with the latest New York styles

OPEN COFFIN OF
 KING 200 YEARS
 AFTER HIS DEATH
Scientist Seek toLearn Whether Foe or Traitor Shot
 Charles XII.

Stockholm. Sept. 14-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press)--An autopsy on King Charles XII. Swe- den's warrior king. killed in battle almost 200 years ago, to determine whether the shot through the temples which. caused his death came from the enemy's lines or from an assassin among his own men, has just been made here In, an effort to clear up one of the mysteries of history.
 If the bullet entered the Tight tem- pie it would indicate that it came from Fredrickshald fortress, before, which the Kings forces lay intrench- ed. while shot from the opposite di- rection would show that 1t was fired by a traitor in his own ranks N
 The scientists who are conducting the investigation have not yet an- nounced their conclusions, and will not until they have made an effort to At together the pieces of bone taken from the wound; but the in- dications are that the bullet entered the right temple, and came. there fore, from the enemy. The wound o1 the right side Is comparatively small as if made by an entering shot, nile the left temple was blown entirely away and the left side of the skull shattered. as would be caused by the missile. as it emerged.
 The Kings body was examined in the old Knishtsf Church. where it lay in a simple scofin. It was covered w,th a linen shroud, with the arms a. the side, the fingers meeting across the waist, the hands encased in faded yellow g1ove$ On the head was a lanrel wreath. placed there in Janu- ary. 1719, the day he was buried. Those who viewed the dead King were struck by his masterfu1l counte- nance.Astill bearing through all the years the look of q leader of men.
 The wound, covered by patches of lineh. was found to consist of cleft in ths skun beginning at the left corner of the left eye. and extending at an angle of abont 45 degrees up. ward to the right for about three inches.
 AccordInR 10 contemporary ac- ed the trenches the evening of Dec 1. fz18. and went to point opposite where the Danes had battery. With him were the engineer wEo had planned the trenches, and SiQuier,, the King's -de-camp. As Charlea lay on the parapet of the trench, his head and shoulders exosed, an enemy cannon fred load of grapeshot and the King fell dead
 No question that a grapeshot was the cause of his death ever arose un- til a year later, when Siquier. while in delirium of fever. said he had murdered the King. When he re- covered he was mortified at his own rawlings and denied until his death that he had killed the King. He died in poverty
 vcltaire. who investigated the af- fair. reached the conclusion that the fatal shot could mot have been fired by siquier, and must have been grape. The murder theory. however, once started, has persisted down to the present time.
