Denton, June 30.-Dr. +. Nj. Taught
has been in Houston during the week
to learn something regarding our
school bonds. The comptroller refused
TO sign them. 1t seems our city au-
thorities did not know the cause of
such a procedure, and sent the doctor
to feel his pulse. II seems to us that
n little legal advice at home might
have given them some light on the
subject at less expense to the people.
Professor G. NJ. Savage. of Hender-

Bonham Adrocote Prof Monte,
a balloonist travelling with the auto
matte show, made an ascension at this
place last Monday. The evening was
a favorable one, being calm and clear,
and the balloon assembled 500 or 900
feet. immediately over Powder
creek it was discovered that the balloon
was on fire, and to the horror of the
thousands of witnesses the balloon be-
gan to rip. Fortunately the burning
side was up and the rent ON the lower
side acted as n parachute, and he de-
soended safely, not however before one
OF the trapeze ropes was burned in
two. He lit in a corn-field nearly
mile south of town, comparatively
unhurt, except his hands being badly
burned, II was an exciting spectacle.
and hundreds of people on foot, horse
back and in vehicles hurried in the
direction of where he fell, expecting
to find him dead. The balloon was
entirely consumed.

Science in it's last issue states. on the
authority of German scientific journal,
that milk preserved by what is known to
chenist as Scherff's process possesses
certain qualities which make it exception
ally useful for sick infants. This process
consists in simply putting new milk with.
out any addition into glass bottles, stop.
pering aud then heating by steam for one
or two hours to a temperature from 212 to
24S degrees under pressure of from two
to four atmospheres. The London Chem
icdl News, in announcing last year Marti.
ny's examination of the milk thus treated,
said : : The milk is thus not not merely
rendered capable of preservation, but the
caseine is peptonized, so that in contact
with the gastric juice it is converted into
fine, easily divisible and digestible 1Ocks,
as in the milk of non ruminant animal"
Another excellence of Scherff's milk is
that the virus of food and mouth disease
and tuberculosis, with all germs, is de-
strOy ed by the heating.
The caseine of human milk is slightly
alkaline aud cOagulates in light t1Occuli i'll
the infantile stomach, SO rs to be readily
acted on by the digestive fluids, while
cows milk, even when fresh, is feebly acid
and Is apt to form large and firm coaguls.
Cows milk treated by the Scherf process,
however, according to the German au.
thority quoted, is not coagulated by ron.
net, and even where acidified or allowed
to sour yields ''a fine granular coagulum'
which the infant can digest without dis.
tress. 1t is apparent that this new milk
is the nearest approximate now known
to natures food for infants; and when
the latter is wanting, and it too often is,
the former should bs the best substi-
tute.
The terrible infautile mortality during
the cheated term in our large cities is
undoubtedly owing largely to the inju-
dicious use of cows milk aud to the i'm
pure quality of the article. But the Sim
pie process of rendering cows milk harm:
less seems to offer summer diet tor
infants which, while not expensive, would.
if generally used, greatly reduce the death
rate. "The good results obtained by its
use for sick children" says this foreign
journal, 'are ascribed to the granular co
agulum which it yields in the stomach
and its freedom from germs."

p. d. Armour is Of sturdy Scotch Pres,
byterian stock. He was born in one o.
the central counties of New York, on a
farm among the hills. 1t was the highest
ambition of his boyhood days to earn
money enough to buy the farm adjoining
his fathers. When the gold fever
broke out be Was still a mere
STRIPPING but full Of youthful enthu
siasm, he started for California. driv.
ing wagon across plains and mountains.
He remained there three or four years and
in that time saved a few thousand dollars.
He had cash enough to buy that farm and
settle down. He had no sooner reached
home than he experienced a sudden revul-
sion of feeling. The streets of the village
looked narrow, cramped and dull. The
house appeared mean and dingy. He
only remained on tho farm two or
three days, and then took himself
to Cincinnati. Later he drifted to
Milwaukee, and at the ,lose of the war he
sold great lot of pork at $40 barrel,
and bought it again at $1S to $40, realiz-
ing profit of about million. TO day he
