Disease in Milk.

Recently some fifteen cases Of ty-
phoid fever were found in part Of
Washington Heights where the sewer
age and the water pipes were so well
constructed that it was deemed impos-
sible that the fever could have origi.
uated in any defects in sewerage; Meth
er could there be found to be any defect
in the water closets of the neighbor-
hood. Typhoid fever is usually found
ia places where sewerage is bad or
where filth it allowed to collect. After
a good deal of investigation it was
found that all the families affected by
the fever were taking their milk from
the same milkman. A physician in
terested in the investigation sought out
the source of the milk. Ii was found
that there was diseased COW there.
An order was issued that no more milk
should be served from that animal,
and since that order there have been
no new cases of typhoid fever. Wheth-
er the prevalence Of the fever in the
neighborhood referred to was really
due to the supposed cause or not, it
certainly behooves people living in
large cities to look well to the sources
of their supplies of milk. Then those
living in the country, receiving their
milk fresh from their own cows, should
bear Is naiNd the danger resulting from
placing their vessels OF milk i'll impure
refrigerators or in places where the milk
may gather up deleterious bacteria.
Set vessel of milk in refrigerator
where meat is placed and it will be
found that the proximity of the milk
will tend to the preservation of the
meat in consequence of its having
gre ater affinity for bacteria. Milk
should be set in pantries or closets
where nothing else is kept and where
the air is absolutely pure.-Dr.. Foote's
Health Monthly.

When the Years Creep On.
Ada A. Harper in Terra Hauto Mail.

Ada A, Harper IN Terra HaUtc Mail.
There is this consolation for plain
girls, they will not suffer the exquisite
torture of seeing their charms fade
away, one by one, before the remorse-
less approach of time; realizing the
hOpelessness Of wishing for beauty if
they will turn their attention to art, to
literature, TO domesti training, to some
OF the many occupations Which not
only are proftahl lie to woDi en-, but really
make them attractive, ant most impor-
tant of all, give them something to
think about besides themselves.
And when the years creep on and the
color leaves the cheek, the glossy hair
turns grey and the eyes lose their spar
kle, then, indeed, comes the great test
Of q woman's charm. Remembering
all our friends, those of youth, OF ma
turity, of old age, the ones who seem
most beautiful to us are the once we
love the best. They may not have one
line or lineament that would please the
artist or sculptor, but they are tran 90
figured in the eyes of our stf elton.
Every good mother is to her children
the most beautiful woman ON earth,
because they think only of her precious
love, her sweet devotion, and we have
the same feeling toward our friends who
are tried and true. The eyes may have
lost their brightness, but they shine
with the light Of resce and gentleness;
every wrinkle is line of kindness ana
good will; and we forget all imperfec-
lions of the face aud figure when we
think Of the generous, faithful heart,
the grand, selt-sacriicing soul. This
divine beauty outiives youth and toll
and sorrow, touches with tender grace
the aged face and rests like holy ben
ediction upon the brow of the dead.

Eureka (Ney.) paper: For some years
there has been an Indian called Tybo
Frank ranging about this section ef the
country. He was looked upon as a
terror among his people, and three
years ago killed one Of his tribe. He
also had longing for the horses of
white men. The Indians being greatly
annoyed by Frank, determined to get
rid o. him, and three weeks ago held a
council on Ruby hill TO devise means
for that end. -Four braves were ap-
pointed executioners. They invited
Frank 10 90 on hunt with them four
teen miles from Eureka. While sitting
around a camp fire one Of the braves
caught Frank by the hair and pulled
him to the ground, while another brave
with large knife jumped upon the
victim and cut his head tff The body
ana head we're thrown on the fire and
burned. The braves then made their
way to joe Allison's ranch, where they
went through the process OF washing
the blood from their hands. The father
and squaw of Frank were met a. the
ranch, but they were unmoved by the
particulars OF the tragedy"

Phrases About Women.

Wrinkles disfgue woman less than
i'll nature.
Woman is an idol that man worships,
until he throws it down.
There is no torture that woman
would not suffer to embrace her beau
ty.
Women love always; when earth
slips from them, they take refuge in
heaven.
The whisper of a beautiful woman can
be heard further than the loudest call
of duty.
OF all the things that man purposes,
women alone take pleasure in being
possessed.
Before promising woman to love
her, one should have seen them all, or
see only her.
We censure the Inconsistency OF
women When we arr the victims; We
call it charming when we are the OBJ
jects.
The highest mark of esteem a won
an can give man is 10 ask MS friend
ship; and the most signal proof Of her
indifference is to offer him hers.
AT twenty, man is less lover of wo-
man than of women; he Is more IN
love with the sex than the individual,
however charming she may be.
Men are go fearful Of Wounding q
woman's vanity that they rarely re-
member that she may by some posi-
bllty possess a grain of common sense.
