This is the wholesale way in which tilt

the golden product that melts with do
licious flavor on your hot tea biscuits,
says the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press.
Within a radius of twenty-six miles
from St. Albans are forty-four separate
stations, where the dairy farmer leaves
his milk for the Franklin County Cream
ery association. After the cream if
separated from the milk it is shipped by
rail in special cars to the creamery ai
St. Albans, and by undergoing various
interesting processes is transformer
into butter. -
When the cream reaches the cream
ery it goes into a receiving tank on thf
first floor; from there it is pumped int
storage vats in the second story, where
it is "cured." Then it is ready for the
churn, and it is sent through a pipe intc
the churning-room, where ten square
Blanchard churns are almost constant
ly at work. Each churn churns five
hundred pounds of butter at a time.
When the butter is taken from tht
churn it is sent to the working-room
where four power-workers are revolv
ing. This is a novel sight a round ta

Then it is taken to the pacitlng-rooir
and put into different sized packs, from
one-ounce prints to flfty-pormd tubs, as
the trade demands. The mittor is next

There is a fascination in watching the
work of the chemist, by which he tells
how much the milk of the rlifTercn!
herds is worth. At the various stations
are cases of pint jars, each jar having 8
tin tag with two numbers, one to desig
nate the station and the other the
farmer. Four times during the week
the man in charge of the station puts
in the patron's jar a small sample ol
each herd's milk, and at the end of the
week sends tiie jars to the laboratory
for analysis.
The chemist carefully measures 8
small quantity of the milk into a
flask, adds acids to take out the curd
and puts it into a centrifugal machine
to bring out the butter fat. After rc
volving for a few moments at one thou

Claims Company propose to give.
NOT ftO IIAHD AH ITHEETI.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. Tht Idea It that an In-
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he must devote years to delving in i
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a clear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive Inventions that bring the best return
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that Reem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison fays that the protHs he has received
from the patents ou all his marvelous inven
tions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fort urn
out of hiB scheme. The modern sewing-machine
is a miracle of ingenuity the product
of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through
a hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the ueedle at the point i.i
Htead of at the other end.
THE MTTU: TIIIX; TE1K HI (1ST
VAI,l Alfi,l
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, atone time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought,
"Why don't the milroad company make its cur
windows so thAt they cuu be slid up and down
with jut breaking the passengi-rs' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road 1 would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook, "Ho never
httd to work over a Rtove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!'' growls a man
who is late for breakfast. "If I were In the
business I'd inuke buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of in
neck."
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
veiiient opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, KRiu-epans and collar buttons intu
practical hapc, and then apply for patents
they might tin d thcinselveB as independently
wealthy as the mau who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
the fifteen ptmle. s - (

ind that ends it. A flonr-walker told
;ne recently that when tho theltof an
irticlo is noticed a bill for double the
value of the article is made out and all
bove tho selling price of the article
toos to tho person who detects the theft.
In some stores young ladles are om
Dloyed who aro ready detectives, and
whose business is simply to watch for
pilferers.
"There is a woman hero who every
Wednesday puts on an old sun-bonnet,
nd taking a basket goes out bogging
tor bread. If she eau titeal a loaf, or an
5ar of corn, or any trivial thing, she will
lo ao. Yet this woman is far above want
in a financial sense. Another reoently
itole soventy-flvo yards of silk. Anothet
took two hundred yardn of lace. An
other will pink up buttons and all sortr
af insignificant articles. They do this
believing themselves unnoticed, and
take risks that a professional thief or
ihop-lifter would not think of taking.
One ladv has such a rjenchant for nilfer-
Ing that she hah a conuiunioa with Irar
tafl times. This companion sees thai
itolen artloles 'aro oither retimed oc
jid for. Whenover a now store atrike
'own the'klops' all flock to it, but then
'a generally soce one employed whr
itnows these people, and they do not g'
art ay with very much before thoy arr
oaught."
Major Carter, of tho Socrot Service
relates this instance: "At a countrj
church down South a gourd was used a'
the fountain. An old lady walked up to
the fountain, took a drink, and, in thr
presence of tho entire congregation, se
cretcd the gourd under her shawl and
walked back to her seat, f.illy satisfied
that no one had soon hor take tho
gourd. That is the worst oaso of klepto
mania I ever heard of.
Scientific research has as yet failed to
fully explain the reasons and oauses ol
this peculiar disoaso for a disease It
surely is. It is one of the mysteries of
poor human nature. "Every locality
has its full share of kleptomaniacs,"
said Dr. Karp. "It is not infrequent
that Homo o' them receive sentence in
)k.) icfi courts, while a large majority of
them in the higher walks of society are
protected by friends In order to
pare the feelings of their rela
tives, and it is often understood that
settlement will be mado for goods
purloined. These persons are more
often women than men, which is un
questionably due to- the peculiarities of
tho sex, prone to conditions that invite
strange domuanor. They are not gen
orally known in a community as lnsanr
pet-sons, and yot there sometimes seemi
that tendency. Insane persons havedo
fectfve power of the will. If it bf
mental aberration in the same degree
oases occur whore there la a perversion
of morality, Intense jealousy, iuspioion
which may, if not at the time, eventual
ly lead to a disturbance of the Intellect.
Ve t it would be extremely unfortunate
if the kleptomaniac was considered ir
reKpousible for all his acts, tinoe 14
wuuld easily establish a precedent foi
the protection of the criminal classes.
"Tho morbid disposition which leads
the individual to the act of Incendiarism
s akin to the same category, yet these
persons are of a lower social standing
ind tho sa're clemency is seldom ex
tended to them. T hese ardent morbid
li sires which constantly baffle control
uirnly furnish a chain of circumstanoei
hat speak strongly In extenuation."

The boat was pulled by a couple ot
boys and was headed for the Whit
Hquadron, says the New York Com
mcrcial Advertiser. It was about the
hour when tho gentle gurgle from s
five-gallon milk can, an its contents are
scooped out Into pails, resembles the
melody of "The Old Oaken llueket."
In the sternshects sat a living picture
of "your Uncle Reuben." The swash
from his coat tails hid a clean-cut trail
through the blue waters, and his
whiskers were filled with suit.
Swiftly the boat swept by the Chica
go, Newark and Boston, but was almost
swamped by the old man's efforts to
"gee" alongside the Concord.
The marine on duty ordered the boat
to keep away, giving as his authority
the general order that no visitors were
to be allowed aboard. The old man
carefully luid a big piece of tobacco on
the gangway grating and said:
"Young man, you want to make
bee line for that big fellow iu the white
panties with a sword on his port quar
ter. You tell him his father is gutting
bis constitution ruined waiting to ace
liiin, and if there nre any fences in the
way I advise you to ctiinb them un
less you want to hear from old New
Hiimpshire."
In less than fifteen minutes the old
man txxik possession of the entire ward
room, and the oflicvr were proud of
their guest.

The uses made of the refuse of Parii
streets are numerous. Little wisps ol
women's hair are carefully unraveled,
and do duty for false hair by and by.
Men's haireollected outside the barbers'
serves for filters through which sirups
are strained; bits of sponge are cut up
and used for spirit lamps; bits of broad

to the restaurauts for spruadingon hams
or cutlets; sometimes they are carbon
ized and made into tooth powder. Sar
dine boxes are cut up into tin soldiers or
into sockets for candlesticks. A silk
