Probably in 110 department of re search is a greater amount of investi gation going forward and valuable data and actual discovery being made than in dairy science; and while some ol the discoveries have been of little or lio value, a wonderful amount of use ful and practical material has been placed in the hands of the dairymen, says Mark Lane Express. Among the new things announced, since it has been shown how nearly ferments and flavors in butter are associated, is that if certain acids are added to sweet cream it is not mvessary to wait for the development of lactic acid bacteria in the cream, but that it could be churned at once, and churned quite readily, and the true flavor secured, investigators have been at work on this problem, and an announcement of the results has been made. The most satisfactory result fame from using hydrochloric acid diluted in twice its bulk of water, and adding this in small quantities to the sweet cream. Every thing was satisfactory, except that the butter had no aroma, though it was pronounced fair and good by the judges. The butter kept well, and had a water content of 12% percent.; but the low flavor was against it, though not a trace of acid was to be detected, or found by analysis. About the most important thing brought out was that butter seems to bt* fully dependent upon bacteria for true flavor, rather than the food, pro»ided that the latter is wholesome and not of a character to impart obnoxious flavors to the milk, which after all could not be called butter flavor in any sense of the word. The cow that is kindly treated and quietly handled gains what is known in human society a.s an "elegant repose of manner" that, in her, tends to agood flow of wholesome milk.

At Lant There Has Horn a New Fell tare In trod ueed Into I'ncle Tom's Cabin. There is a now wrinkle in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" theatrical companies. One of thein, which is ransacking the state of New Jer sey for audiences, has hit upon the device of buying a refrigerating machine and using real blocks of ice in the scene in which Eliza, pursued by a pack of barking mongrels, crosses the river carrying in her arms a stuffed doll. The icemaking machine has proved an enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera house, where the ice machine played a few evenings ago, a frantic crowd fought its way through the doors. At the first perform ances the ice machine was kept in the back ground. Several cakes were manufactured before the performance and placed on the green baize river. They were carefully sand ed on the surface, so that when Eliza made her grand dash for liberty she would not turn undignified somersaults. The ice ma chine, however, had been so largely adver tised that yokels wanted to see it. They sat in their places after the curtain de scended upon the solemn death of Little Kva anil howled for the ice machine to come aut and show itself. The stage manager and a couple of deck hands had to carry it down to the footlights. Then they turned the handle and, amid uproarous applause, the machine produced a cake of real ice. Since then a part has been written in the play for the ice machine. When the river scene opens a couple of southern speculators are discovered experimenting with the machine. They produce their ice, and not iiaving any immediate use for it turn it into the river, and it sits upon the river surface it proper intervals to accommodate Eliza's footsteps. A colored man conies out and sprinkles sand over the ice in full view of :lie audience. —Chicago Chronicle. DRAMATIC CRITICISM. "Eaut I.ynne" an Reviewed by ■ Wild and Woolly Toyota Reporter. The reports from those who attended the production of "East Lynne" in all its gor ' geous misconception the other night unite in pronouncing it a little the worst show ! that has ever cracked 14 square yards of 1 plastering off the ceiling of tne opera house in this city. Lady Isabel was about as be witching as a sun-kissed maiden of Sene gambia, and a man who would fall in love with her would fall into a coal pit through a two-inch guard rail. When she returned from the mountains of Germany as Miss Vane to play the nursery maid to her son she looked as though she had played hookey from a smallpox graveyard. The special scenery where she met Sir Francis Levison and made a post-mortem contract to run away with him looked like a cross between the malaria-smeared hills of Arkansas and a diseased vermiform appendix.

Carlyle had a voice which had to be raised with a derrick in order for the people in the back part of the audience to hear it, and then when it was at its highest pitch the tackle would break or some one would knock the blocking from under it and it would fall like the price of steers during a democratic administration. Barbara Hare looked as though she had been left over from a bargain sale and didn't care much whether her insur ance ran out or not. Aunt Cornelia had a voice that sounded like a cross between an army mule with a ringworm and a cross-cut saw, and was built a good deal like an Okla homa cyclone on stilts.

Mrs. Ada Brown Talbot, of New York, ed itor of the Clubwoman, says that the most extraordinary club she ever ran across is conducted by a demure and dignified little woman of seven, the daughter of a club president. The editor called one day, and was received by her little friend witn open arms. "At last I've got a chair," she sairl. "I am very glad," my dear," said the ed itor. "1 hope it is comfortable and i»rettv." "Oh, it is not for me; it is for my club." "I didn't know you had a club." "Of course I have—just like mamma. My dolly is president, and I got the chair for her. You see," she explained, in a whis per, "there's only dollies in it, and the dolly that makes the most noise is president, just like mamma's club. That's my dolly. She talks when you push her back. I broked the sprir.g, and now she talks till she is lurincd down. So she's president. Don't you think that's nice?"

Palace on Wheels is a somewhat hackneyed term as applied to railroad trains, but it accurately describe* the Alton Limited, the newiy equipped day trains of the Chicago & Alton K R. Co. which were placed in daily service between Chicago and St. Louis, November 16, 1809. The equipment consists of standard Chicago & Alton passenger locomotive; United States postal car, sixty six feet in length; combination passenger and baggage car, combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi cago Si Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buf fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa tion car, each of which is seventy-two feet j six inches in length. The framing of all | these cars is Pullman standard with Kmpire ; decks, wide vestibules, standard steel plat forms and anti-telescoping device. All of j the cars are lighted with electric lights ex eept the mail car and combination passenger coach and baggage car, which are lighted with Pintseh gas. The windows throughout the entire train are of uniform width, the Gothic lights above being of the new Pull man standard. The ornamentation is of spe cial design, the color scheme being maroon. Great care has been used in the selection of plushes and woods for the interior, and the lamps, metal furnishings, etc., are of special design, it is claimed that there has never been built in America a train which has re ceived as much attention as to constructive details as has The Alton Limited. An ex amination of this superb train certainly j bears out this claim. ! "Oh, yes, he hates all women." "I won- I der what particular woman he began with?" j —lndianapolis Journal.
