French traveller among the Kurds states,
as the result of his endeavors to ascertain the
process employed by them in the manufacture
of their sword blades, that the manufactories
in which these blades are made are situa uated
at the declevity of mountain, near cascades,
the water of which, falling from rock to rock,
arrives in the most limpid state in the reser-
voirs in which the blades are tempered, these
reservoirs bsiDg also located where the air 10

and sibuitted to very high temperature, the

is at q white heat; it is exposed before fusion,
the fnel being placed on each side, and the red

clock tolled 7, and when It had finished she
turned to her father and aaid " Pa, will
never hear the clock strike again give me an
apple" The spple was given her, and after
eating piece Of 1t che began talking Of dying,
expressing great aversion 70 being pot under

MILK as FOOD.
ITS NUTRITIvE VALUE AND SOME STATISTICS OF
ITS CONSUMPTION.

The'nutritive value of milk, as calculated
from it's elements, Is very large, and its price
is low, as compared with meat. According to
the Kensingtou Museum Catalogue, one pound
of milk can produce at the maximum ounce
dry muscle or flesh, and if digested and oxid-
ized in the body, is capable of producing q
force equal to 800 tors raised one foot high .
One pound of lean beef is reckoned as o force
producer as 800 foot tons. Calculating the dry
muscles as moist flesh, 25 pounds of milk are
equal to pounds Of lean beef in nutritive
value, or in other words, 1 pound of beef is
equal in nutritive value to 80 quarts of milk.
Now, when milk Is z cents quart. it is cheaper
than beef at 81 cents pound We are lead to
these remarks by being reminded of the small
consumption of milk by an ordinary popula-
ton. From the best authority it is stated
that but osa pint day are used in the
asyluWs, schools, etc., in England 81 of o

a PLAN.

We heartily endorse the fol-
lowing suggestions from the
Dallas Commercial. A stimuli
taneous effort in behalf of the
yellow fever sufferers would
succeed in raising a much lar
ger sum of money than occa-
sional and spasmodic ones.
Let the Governor appoint a
day, the press make it known,
and a very large sum can be
raised. Such an action as that
of a State need not interfere
with any other means employed
to raise money. Let US have
such day by all means. This
is the plan suggested: at
has been suggested that the
Governors of Southern States
should appoint a day on which
the people should be asked to
give a nickel each for yellow
fever sufferers. 1t is believed
that the sum thus raised would
not be less than $4,000 and
probably much more. We
trust that Governor Hubbard
will at once appoint such day.
For there are yet weeks of suf-
fering to be borne in the stricken
cities and much help will be
needed. But in the meantime
let the Mayor of this city at
once appoint a day, say We'd
nesday or Thursday of next
week, when every man, woman
and child in the city shall be
called on to give nickel each.
The papers will do all they can
through there columns and by
posters to make a success.
They would give all an oppor-
tunity and would bring the re-
sponsible home to every one
whom God has blessed with
health and strength. Letus try
it"
