When the health sharps at the hearing seemed Incredulous the expert ex plained that to keep eggs for a few years is really nothing compared to the feats of the Chinese, who pre serve them fur Indefinite periods. He recalled that when Li Hunk Chang visited America he brought with him eggs a hundred years old because there were none in this country old erough to suit his palate. While the eggs have been ripening in storage In Jersey City the federal courts have been wrestling with the problem of their fitness for food. Judge Gross, of the United Slates district court, de cided that the government had not proved its case against the eggs. He was reversed by the circuit court of appeals whosn judgment was In turn set aside thy the supreme court of the united Males on tno ground mat it was without Jurisdiction. All that now stands between the eggs and the public is the want of an order of the state board of health releasing them from storage.

Never before has it been possible to go straight from Gotham to a region promising so great a contrast, not withstanding that settlement and en terprise Is pouring into the region to which the rails were laid. New York Is rapidly approaching a famine of domestic servants. Km ployment agencies llnd it Impossible to meet the demand for them. It is not so much because women who are willing to work as servants are scarce as it Is that so many of them are in-t competent. Every employment agii.!wf l1 h('vn n the 12 1-2 mile Rlmp- cy in New York has more applications for work from would-be-servants than It can fill, but there Is not (in agency In the city that would hot pla e 10J per cent more servants were the lat ter competent to fill the places. ne !

Another protest against the modern wriggling dances is Just making itself heard. Couriously enough, .however, It does not come from reformers or persons whoFe sense of decency is of fended by the terpischorean acrobat ics. Instead it e.manates from the manufacturers of playin? cards, for so generally have the tango and the turkey trot succeeded card 'playln? ; that last year showed a very serious falling off In the card manufa:turing business. As tthe new dances are formerly were card devotees the cast against such dances seema to be t clear one. What the falling off ac- j tually amounts to La atwmA tor the TIIE Old, Are in New York City fact that during the last fiscal year there wag a decrease of 778,231 pack! of cards manufactured, or nearly for ty per cent. Whether or not this Is to be looked upon as another crime to be laid at the door of the tango and turkey trot depends largely on the point of view as to whether the new dames or the bridge craze are the less to be desired.

Borough President Miller, of the Bronx, estimates that It may cost him as much as $30,000. The extra cost for the entire city will probably fee In the nlghborhood of $300,000. KKSISTANCE OF AIR.

This reunion Is now an annual af - fair, and It attracts a great deal of attention In Bermondsey, Each year some pirom'nent American resident In London delivers the oration. This year the lot fell to R. Newton Oane, an American Lawyer. Outside America there was prob ably no city that flew the American flag so prominently on the Fourth of July as did London. Arriving at Marble Axon on the way to the city on the morning of Independence day and looking down Oxford street one might have been forgiven for believ ing for a moment that he was on the other side of the Atlantic. From flag staffs of the tilg department stores that line the street from Just below Hyde park to the city bound ary, Immense American flags were flying, while many of the smaller .es tablishments also showed the Ameri can colors.

London never does very well In the matter of decor atlona, and those which did service during the visit of the French presi dent looked an though they were the remains of many previous festive oo- caslons. It was not o much this, however, that the writers of the let ter objected to as tha presence of flags of all nations, not only on pri vate buildings, tiut In the decorations put up by the municipal authorities. Down one Htreet there were so many American rings that one writer sug gested that they must have been sav ed since the day of Colonel Roose velt's visit to the city.

The a result of a conference of steamship , department haa established no abso and railroad companies to be held atul9 standards. It certainly has not Mowow the end of July. This will be done by bringing Into the regular passenger service the new Japanese railways in Korea In connection with a fast line of steamships to Japan. Passengers by the Trans-Siberian railway will, under this arrangement, travel through by rail to Fusan and thence by steamship to Shlmoncwtekl, a much shorter route than by way of tho South Manchurlan railway tol,oluU,,y lu afftty Thls nalur8 ()f th( Peking or the all-Uuselan route through Vladlvostock. The Japanese, Canadian and other steamship lines are expected to speed up communi cations for passengers across the Pa ct flo.

He said hi opinion (Oontrnued cm Pare Plfteesv) for Inspection of Is Simply Working to Educate the Dairymen to Produce And Ship Clean Milk to Their Customers Outlines Policy to the Dairymen of the United States. WASHINGTON, D. C July 26. The department of agriculture today Issued the following statement out lining Ita policy In dealing with the milk situation In the United States. "It Is erroneously supposed that the department of agriculture haa es tablished absolute standards and bacterial counts to which all milk and will not establish any rule de claring that milk containing less than a certain number of bacteria, per cu bic centimeter Is good milk. Under such a standard, milk containing less than a certain number of typhoid or tubercle bacilli would automatically be passed, as coming up to standard. A simple count of the bacteria Ii not In Itself sufficient to determine ab- bacteria as well as their num'ber also must If possible be considered. The presence of only a few disease pro ducing baaterla might maka the milk dangerous, while several thousand harmless bacteria could be present without necessarily Indicating that that the milk was unsafe. Tha pres ence of even a few colon bacilli Is presumptive evidence that cow ma-; nure has been allowed to get Into the milk between the cow and the con sumer. Similarly a high count of the kinds of bacteria that normally are present In milk Indicates that the milk, la dirty, or that It has not been heM at low temperature or that It la old. "The department In Its milk activi ties Is carrying on an extensive cam paign of education to help dairymen prod u -e and market good clean milk. This work 1s carried on principally by the dairy division of the bureau of animal Industry. ; This division exer cises no policing function. It haa no power under the law to seize milk or to prosecute milk dealers. Its work Is purely educational. Thla division Issue many educational bulletins baaed upon Its experiment In the economical production of clean milk. It supplies farmer with these bul letlng and also sends men Into the field to show milk producer how to make change within their mean which will raise the quality of their milk and also Increase their profit. These demonstrator have helped milk producer who supply over 100 cities. In each city, these demonstra tors co-operated with th local health authorities, not to help ttem secure evidence or bring prosecution, but to Improve the local system of Inspec tion whereby, the Inspector can aid the milk producer of the territory to issTBrlnc their tntlk1 up tw the- u1iywii standard without being called upon to make excessive expenditure. "With the Inspector, tha dmon- tralora visit th tixx Imam i3 Set Milk of Country,1 friend of tha farmer, They mas show him that certain cow In till herd do not yield enough milk to pay for their feed. Or the demonstrator! may point out certain change In feeding which will greatly Increasa the yield. They help th farmer build n Inexpensive milk house, and show Mm how a window or two or a water proof floor for hla barn, or a llttl whitewash or mor frequent cleaning will actually Increase his profit Where desired, they explain method of pasteurization and shipping and handling of milk. Through thl bu reau, the department supplies tuber culin for testing herds. These dem onstrators have no power to comp the farmer to follow their advice they merely try to how him thai thejie measure are for hi own good., Thoy do not and cannot require th farmer to pasteurise hi milk. Wher they find a herd that I not tested for tuberculosis, or milk toeing produced In an unclean way, they advise that th milk be pasteurized, using any one of a number of competing ma ohlne or a home-made pasteurizer. At a result of thl work, thousand of former have Introduced new and sanitary method of producing ang hipping milk not because they Were forced to do so, but because they saw tha Justice of protecting their con sumers and found that they lost lesg milk and made greater prollts by foU lowing th specialists' advice. "The dairy division advises the pas teurization of milk unknown or of doubtful purity because in large measure It protects the consumer from danger that might be Incurred by using such milk In the raw tsta, Pasteurization Is not recommended a a substitute for sanitary precau tions but as an additional safe-guarfl where the Inspection Is not sufficient to guarantee the purity of the milk. - "The dairy division also 1 conduct lng an extensive campaign among consumer, In the first plae, It is trying t4 convince them that It cost more to produce clean wholeaoma milk than to produce dirty and dan gerous milk. In the second place, H aim to show the householder how t keep ml lit after It haa been delivered by the milkman. Clean milk. If air lowed to become warm, if kept In utu clean vessels, or If exposed to the dust of room or left within reach ol file, quickly deteriorate and may be come dangerous.
