This is not said facetiously, for while wc shall speak later of what is sometimes call; ed the baptism of milk we now alludfc only to the water which it contains as it comes from the cow. This wa ter, however, is 87 per cent, of the bulk, go that it can be seen at once that cow's mflk must be considered a highly diluted and therefore corres pondingly unnutritious food. The fundamental idea of dry milk' is simply to remove this 87 per cent, of water. The process by which this is accomplished i» very gimple- The milk soon a3 possible after it comes from the cow in most cases an hour or two—is passeST without pre liminary treatment, physical or chem ical, except straining^ over polished Ijoj oqj, ui*P U nl SJ8llOJ l»91s ers are heated to a temperature ol two hundred and forty degrees *ah renheit, and the milk remains on them only about two and one-half se conds. It comes off the rollers a dry powder containing l®sg moisture than flour, only 5 or 6 per cent. It is then packed in boxes or barrels and can be shipped far or near as required. Its ebgmical composition has been un changed and it will now keep for 4n indefinite period, &r Uflt.4 the re-addi tion of water. I, myself, have druiik milk more than two- years old. In the first fflace all ‘germs are killed by the temperature of two hun dred and forty degrees to which the milk is subjected- Tfte milk itself does not suffer any chemieal cfcapge, as ir, the case of sterilization, on account of the short space of time it is sub jected to this heat, only two and one-half seconds- instead of twenty or thirty minutes. Secondly, bacteria develop only fn the presence of mois ture. It haa be-ftfl appertained that there must he 15 per e§nt- mojsture for the propagation of gerafc. Mow, as dry milk contains only 6* per cent, moisture, any germs which may const quently get into, the powder cannot develop; hence the milk keeps infi nitely or until water is again added; We have therefore, ill $7? milk a food eight times as nutrition* ag or dinary milk in proportion to its welghi ttOd tvhich is absolutely free from bac ierla and will remain so—From "The Milk-Fed Etaca IlQrge,” b?

Great Salt Lake' Cut-off Runs over Deserted Waters. “Remarkable piece of work, that Great Salt Lake cut-off,’ said a New ark traveller to some friends at their club. “Harriman hag run his railroad right across the big pond over a tres ' tie twenty miles long. It’s a great sight you get from the car-windows when ^ou make the transit. The lake is surrounded by thundering big moun tains, some of them a hundred miles away. The mountains are beautiful, but dead—nothing but solid rock, not a tree or blade of grass on them, worth mentioning. The level land near the lake is desert, and the lake itself is dead. I looked for yachts, but what is there for a yacht fltH T thought there might at least be a fish ing launch or two in sight, but there is nothing for people to catch In that brine vat. The water is so full of salt of one kind or another that the ripple 3eem to stand still, they„move so slo ly. It was blowipg -a fifty-knot gale the day I crossed, yet the surface was almost smooth.” One of the traveller’s friends, who had heard that in Utah the air is al ways still, wondered if a fifty-mile wind wouldn’t make the operating of trains dangerous on the long bridge. “Not at all,” said thetraveller. on y a day or two before I crossed, one of the Southern Pacific’s largest loco motives was blown, off the track art -Midlake Station by a small tornado. Before' the epiash §vib§jdc.d the en gine came up puffing. The engineer stuck to the helm and the big mach ine just naturally swam ashore. That lake would float anything. The wonder is that Ilarriman didn’t lay hie track on top of the water.” The speaker’s friends thought it over. „< “About that locomotive affair,’ said one of them,-“you didn’t happen to meet the engineer, did you?” - “No, 1 didn't- You see, because- of the altitude of Utah the «vapqration of water is very rapid. When the lo comotive was about halfway to shore the engineer discovered that the boil er was going dry. The only water to j be had was out of the lake. Well, the boiler tubes weren’t’ made for salt water, the way a steamship’s tubes are, and just as the ^Qwcatcher touch ed dry land the engine blew up.” “Of course, and the unfortunate en gineer dived for his life and broke Bis neck on a wave.’* HEAT AND HEALTH. It will doubtless surprise a good many persons who have suffered more or less inconvenience from heat daring the last few days to learn that high tepiperatuie is beneficial rathdr than harmful to humau life. This is. the s vcr meet lately njade io a London newspaper by an Epglish physic ian, Dr. II. H. kiddie, fpd it is unquestionably supported by a vast amount ot careful statistics and an imposing array of scientific authorities. There is no foundation for the current opinion that the heart and the lungs bear most jof the stress of hot weather. The assumption seems to be based on a supposed analogy petweeo a dog, which latter notoriously pant** when over heated. - There is no such analogy for the reason tbat*humao beings rely chiefly on their per spiratory sytem to regulate th^ eonliOi of the temperature of the body. While the tfog not having perspiratory glauds comparable to ours, has to make greater use of his lungs in preventing his body temperature from being loo much influenced by outside conditions, the truth I.Si as experiments in India have shown, that the ordi nar? European’s breath rate is not iocreas< d, but ac ually reduced about one filth during bis first attempts to accommodate himself to the heat of that country. The ,^me ex pei imculs have show n that the heart’s action ajso is not aug mented even in tropical tejnpefa lures. The liver and spleen are the chief suffereis, bat even the congestion which may be caused in these organs by high tempera tures may be left out of aeeouut by those persorts who are careful about what they cat ami -diiuk.— New York Sun.

They type colored in red and black, both by line drawing and in wash. Some of them are covered with a stalaymitic lajer formed by water dripping for centuries. The most numerous representations are those of horses, but bison reindeer and men are also represented. “THE IRONY Jif MARRIAGE.” A partly caustic, partly humor-! dus t ook, enticed “The Irony of Marriage,” has aroused a good deal of interest iu England. The author, Mr. Basil Tozer, thinks fcbat; the' supr mely attractive quality in a wife is a sense of humor, as being not only delight ful iu itself, but as denoting a sympathetic nature. lie thinks that humorous women abound-w but not everybody agrees with him One eminent literary m^n told the author that iu the whole of his life, he had met only two women with a seflse of humor; “One,” he said, “I married; the other is still at Urge.” Mr. Tozer offers various unpleasant stories about husbands. Ifere |s qpe of them \ The scene is a ship eaught in a typhooD on the Pacific. A report I having been spread, that the. ship j issiuking, the man rushed-down to his cabin in search of a cork j jacket. Only one was there ^nd his wife had already secured it. Jn an instant, be pounced upon her, and in spite of her frantic struggles, wrested the jacket from her, and bound it about himself. But the ship didn’t sink. In point of fact, the danger- had not been great. To this day the story is related in the club at Yokohama^ and the “hero” ofit, who is in the , shippii g bgiimss, is known among I his acquaintances as “Lion Hearted j Peter.”—Hew York Tribune. - PEACE TO HIS ASHES. At the graveside, Col.* Watter {son again brands as wholly and l cruelly false those stories of “per ! sonal iueonsideration” one current about Mr. CieveJaud and claimed Watters on as sp user. # The Ken tuckian who knew Mr. Cleveland well, adds to his portrait as “a rough weather beaten all around man of all work, self willed'* strong minded and conscientious,,J another trait not so well known: •‘In point of fact, he was sympa thetic, .though rot an emotional of eff isive*man, and as sensitive as a woman.” lievelations l*y the few whom Mr, Cleveland admitted to his intimate thought* inform us that he was cot to the Jjuick by the aliehation ahd retftings of his party because of'his stand for hone-t money; and that for a time his faith in Dtmoeraoy itself was shaken, But if this was his inner mood, little evid- nee of it was permitted to appear on * he surface. He kept still and took his medi’ cine heroically. 4nd finally the mood of despair lifted and he came to realise that t »e mistak s of Democracy are but as shadows cast by clouds passing before the sun. For it came to Sass that many who once would ave stoned him returned to wor ship or to praise; and among ail there was at Last free acknowledg ment of his good motives and mag uifiqent pour age, the memory of which will constitute a permanent endowment of high example.

Jn Reaves from the Note Books of Lady Dorothy NeviU,” recently edited by Lady Dorothy'sson, Mr. Ralph Nevill, there is an amusirg story of an old peer whose consid erable faulty pride was agreeably tempered with humor. One day he was surprised to be told by his sister that she had con ceived a great affection for a well known although somewhat eccen trie man of science who, although generally esteemed, was of very humble Semitic origin. Not qnite determined as to what course of action he should take, he sent for the prospective bridegroom with the intention of talking mat ters over. After some conversation^ he said: _ ‘‘And now sir, I should like to know something about your fami ly.” “I think,” replied the other, that it will be sufficient to say ! that I am of the descent of the i illustrious blood of Abraham, i Isaac and Jacob.” 1 “Oh,” said the peer, “of course onr family t as nothing to compare with that.

We like to believe, however, tbat it is not going to make a vital dif ference to the country whether the | republicans or the Democrats wiu this year. Whoever is President and whatever he attempts to do, what we have ahead of us seems to be a period of comparative repose and readjustment. The tariff must be revised, the currency system so tinkered or-recast as to satisfy the experts, and those are serious duties. But for the rest we seem to have in store more trying out.of experiments now in progress than concocting of new ones. The people seem somewhat tired of ripping one another up; less disposed than they have been of late to the in spection of the entrails of the dis embowled, and more disposed to ward the bestowaL of attention upon feats of personal digestion. They have come to a different temper. Hear Mr. L;nceln Steffens. “We Americans,” he says, ‘'have been ont on a man hunt We are crying to nave somebody, put m jail; to make come individual suf fer, and we may, moblike, catch some victim some day, and we may wreak upon him our hate. I bate this hate and this hunt. I have bayed my bay in it, and I am sick of it. I am convinced that if I should follow far enough the hu man trail I was on I should catch myself.” The feelings that the eminent muckraker thus expresses are spread wide abroad jn the land. It is not that we are tired of being good and want to be wicked again, but that we want to have more peace inf our lives, and spend a little more of our strength in the profitable pursuit of honest indus try, and not quite so large a share of it in tumult and prosecution.— Life.

July 2nd, KiMBLEB. AS A FOREIGNER SEE US. Francoois Dejeune, advocate Oi Paris France, tells the Washing ton Herald some of his observa tions in this country. Monsieur Dejeune is a lawyer and is travel ing in this country for pleasure. He observed, he said, that per sonal liberty in America was only a meaningless idea. “You have laws—in America preventing a man from taking his regular glass of wine on Sunday at his tavern. This law prescribes what he may,not drink on Sun day. The law also prescribes that he may not enjoy himself at the theater on Sunday or at the concert gardens. In some of the States the law even forbids the sale of news papers or soda water. What does this mean! Is there any' harm in these innocent little amusements, or are Americans so weak minded that they cannot control them selves and overstep the limits of public decency and morality. If that is the case, and the laws were framed on that account, it is in deed a self confession of lack of character and strength of mind and will power. “Another observation I have made since I have been in this country is the line of demarkation between the various' classes cf people. To say that alt men are free an4 equal is only empty words in your ca^e. You have your aris tocracy and yoar poor. The aris tocracy is just as exclusive and more so than our European classes. You have your societies whose sole aim is to cultivate class spirit. Where will it end! Is that true democracy! Is that -aecoiding to the ideals of a Jefferson! Is that true Americanism! I say no, a thousand times no.” WILL BEGIN LAW PRACTICE JAN. ISt. A. W ilstoa Macnair, who was recently graduated with high honors from the law department of Georgetown University, Wash] iugton, D.

That but 3 per cent of all the people are free from tuberculosis is the theory of Dr. Thomas G. Cos grove, of Philadelphia, who is at the New Willard. “Tuberculosis is essentially the disease of child hood,’’ said the physician. “The coughing member of the family is responsible for its spread. The bacilli enter the body through the tender skin of the child. Where ever moisture expelled in coughing falls upon the skin of the child, tubercular conditions begin. The bacilli enter the glands through the blood after piercing the skin. “Tuberculosis is the most ner vasive disease in the world. In my opinion,.the bacilli remain latent for years after entering the body. There is a well defined theory that heart disease, Bright’s disease, cancer and other diseases are man ifestations of tubercular conditions. It is not hereditary so far as adults are concerned. Hereitary tubercular children die in a few months. The theory of heredity is founded on the fact that so many offsprings of tilbercular parents die of the disease. The fact of the matter is that these parents inocu trte their children by coughing. Tuberculosis ot the lungs begins only when the bacilli find a low yitality to fight. Modern treat ments for tuberculosis embrace fresh air and nourishing foods to raise the vitality, and give a chance for the patient to down the bacilli. It is but rarely that persons more than forty years of age are attack ed by tuberculosis of the lungs. The tubercular conditions at that age lead to other diseases —Wash ington Herald. MECHANICS OF THE STOMACH. It has been discovered by Von Mering, and by Cannon of Har vard, that the stomach is not a pouch, but is divided into two chambers, during the process of digestion, by the constriction of "a circular band of fibres. This prac tically divides it into two separate compartments, a large first pouch, which is, for the most part, alka line in reaction; and a smaller second, or a right hand pouch, where the food is acidulated, pep tonized and passed on to a small intestine, Salivary or starchy di gestion is, therefore, not confined to the time that the food remains in the mouth during the process of mastication, but may go on for from twenty minutes to an hour in the firsts or left hand pouch of the stomach. For the*eecond import ant new distJtfvery we are chiefly indebted to Canuon. The cupful or# so of dissolved an<J acidulated food matter, when it has reached the pyloric pouch, is rapidly churned about in it and made still more acid by the secretions of this part of the stomach wall. Then, when a certain degree of acidity has been reached, the valve like ring of muscle the pylorus, which shuts off the stomach from the intestines, relaxes, the mouthful of food is Bquirted through it into the duod enum, and the pylorus promptly closes behind it. How this mechan ism was carried out was for a long time a puzzle. The answer now turns out to be dramatically sim ple—that while the pyloric valve relaxes under the influence of acid secretions on the stomach side of it, it as promptly and certainly contracts when acid secretions are thrown into the duodenum on the intestinal side. This throws a flood of light upon a number of puzzliDg eruditions of so-called “obstruc tion of the pylorus,” )‘Paralysis of the stomach,” etc., many of which were found to be due to ulcers and other inflammations in the upper part of the small intestine, which*, by keeping the secretions of this part of the canal acid, absolutely prevented -the pyloric valve from relaxing.
