This is the wholesale way in which tilt largest creamery in the world turns mil 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 ble about eight feet in diameter re volving under two conical rollet-s, alsc 1 constantly turning, while between tin ! rollers and the table is an inch of but tjr flvnr An?h wnrlrpr la A rt:i.n nf ipii nd salt, to cool the eighty pounds ol butter on the table. There is a man ir charge of each worker, who works it the salt with a paddle and sees that the buttermilk and brine are thoroughly pressed out. 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 ' xaKen u coia siorao-e, auti, wnen reaav for shipment, is marked in the refng- eratorroom by the shipping clerk anql put into a refrigerator-car, thus reach ing Boston and other New England cit ies without any change of temperature. 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 sand revolutions a minute the buttei fat has risen into the neck of the flask, where the percentage can be read easily on a graduated scale The aver age of butter fat iu their milk is trifle under four per cent., but the ex tremes are 3.25 and 4.75.

There Is plenty ollnventlve lalleut at lsrxo In this country Deeding nothing hut encouragement tn produce practical results. That encouragement the Press 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 - ( A TEinPTINGOFIfilll.

"I beg yonr pardon, madam, this i Blinking to the fringe of your wrap." The speaker wai the floor-walker in one it the large retail stores of the oity, and the person he addressed was a fashionably-dressed lady. He had caught-her n the act of sooreting a cheap purse inder her wrap, and only took this neana of letting hor know that he had noticed her. The lady blushed, and murmuring something walked to another counter, but all the time she was in the itore sharp eyes were watching her. When she secreted some lace in her pocket nothing was said about it, but the amount was added to the bill her husband paid at the ond of tho month. "Are there many kleptomaniacs in this oity?" ftakud an Indianapolis Newt reportor of a detective. "About fifty," was the astonishing an swer. "They are well known to the merchants, and as soon as they step 'nto a store they are watchd, and no natter how sly they work, they are always detected. It is not very .if ten that, they a'0 called upon to dis gorge. If their husbands are not ablo to pay for the articles taken, the lady it jsked to atep into a private room, Mid there a female clerk relioves them 5f the stolen sroods. It is sohloru that any information concerning tho theft Is lodged with the police or gots outsido the store. The merchant never prose jutes them. To do so would ruin his business. The bill is always settled, 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.

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.
