A somewhat new and interesting
field OF inquiry has been opened up by
M. Lanquer. namely the composition
of the human fat. at different periods
Of life, and It's relation to health. These
investigations show that in newly-born
children the fat has particularly firm
consistence, constituting peculiar tai
low-like mass. with melting point of
45 deg. c. The fat Of adults, however,
separates at the ordinary temperature
Of room In two layers; the upper
layer is completely fluid. translucent
and of yellowish color, solidifying
only at temperatures under zero. c.,
while the lower layer is a crystalline
mass, having its melting point at Sc
deg. c. The fatty acids obtained from
the fat of newly born ehildren-after
precipitation with hydrochloric acid
we're found to melt at 81 deg. c., and
those obtained from the fat of adults
have q melting point of So deg. The
former was found also TO contain three
times as much palmitic and stearic acid
as the latter; the palmitic acid predom-
mated over the stearic in each kind of
fat, but much more in that of children
than OF adults, the proportion being in
the former four to one, but in the latter
nine to one.

Pedigree Of Cows.

Pedigree is a very essential element
in the value of cows. But it isalso true
and no less important to know that
grade animals in well-managed dairy
can be made, as q rule, quite as produc-
tive as thorough-breds, and often more
so. Yet this does not at all imply that
the latter can be dispensed with, for we
cannot have good quality of grades
without o good strain of blood to start
from. While it is conceded that pedi-
gree is one of the factors in the value of
good COW, ID is not by any means the
only factor. Maximum results in the
dairy are not the sole outcome of any
single condition. They depend not
merely on the capacity and breed of the
cow, but also and equally ON the intel
ligence aud good management of the
owner; and, what is equally true, but
seldom considered, even the capacity of
the COW is itself to q large extent the
product of human skill Harper's Mag
Gzine.

Industry's Reward.

The four Green boys, of Atlanta, Ga,
started a few years ago selling newspa-
pers. They made 10 cents apiece the
first morning they went to work, and for
two winters thereafter they went, half
clad, through the snow and sleet in the
freezing dawn on their morning rounds
From the very first they saved certain
percentage Of their earnings. which they
invested in Atlanta real estate. The
oldest of them is now eighteen years OF
age and the youngest twelve. They
have supported an invalid father and
now have property worth considerably
over 5000, houses from which the rent
is $40 a month, and $500 stock in a
building and loan association. They
have educated themselves meanwhile,
remaining from school this yearin order
to work the harder and build ahome for
their parents.

A resident of Park street had photo

purpose of taking q view of his resi-

just got in position when along came an

ready for inspection, and the old man
was one of the first. As the plate was
held up he giggled and tickled, and f.
nally burst into loud laugh. He had
lodged around the corner Of the house

War Anecdotes.

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press writes: You have already pub
Gshed so many accurate and admirable
war sketches, both from Confederate
and Federal standpoints. it may prove
interesting to your readers to peruse
the following anecdotes Of Dixie:
SOMEWHAT BADLY WOUNDED.
During tho battle of Shiloh, as the
First Tennessee Regiment OF Confed-
crate Infantry was advancing to attack.
lying on the edge OF tine battlefield,
some of the boys saw o big fat Colonel
badly wounded. He proved to be gal
liant Mexican and Confederate veteran,
Col. Matt. Martin, of the Twenty-third
Tennessee. AS the column came up on
the double-quick and, with yell, Col.
Martin lifted his head and roared out
in stentorian tones, ssGive 'em Goss,
boys-give 'em Hail Columbiar' The
regiment halted but a moment. and one
of the boys inquired, Colonel, where
are you woundedP'' He answered in d
deep bass voice. MY son, am wound
ed in the arm, in the Ieg, in the head,
body and in an anotk~r place, but don't
mind me; 60 ahead and give 'em fits!''
I And the truth of ii is. bio was wounded
in seven places, and besides limb had
fallen upon him, doubling him up on
his horse.
