a new view of the matter. Where does
this wild horde. rampage and riot if not
among the herds? If there is disease
there must be sick animals, and good
luck could not even save them. If the
herds are saved by good luck there can
De no disease, at least except in the
brain where this wild horde alone ex-

ures, and says ''our present losses from
animal diseases of minor kinds amount
to $500, 000, 900 a year." 1t is no mat

round figures. They might as well have

Milk Diet.

T Milk should enter largely into the
diet of children. 1t contains caseine,
OR f1esh-forming material, cream and
sugar, which are heat producers; min
eral salts, for the bony structure; and
water as a solvent for all the other ma
terials necessary in nutrition. 1t should
be used with discretion, however; not
drunk immoderately, but taken slowly
asAfood, after the pattern given by
nature. Milk as taken is a fluid, but
as soon as it meets the acid of the gas
trio juice, it IS changed to a soft, curdy,
c~heese-like substance, and then must
De digested, and the stomach is over
tasked if too much be taken at once.
A large glass of milk swallowed sud-
denly will form in the stomach a lump
of dense, cheesy curd, which may even
prove fatal to a weak stomach. Under
the action OF the stomach this cheesy
mass will turn over and over like a
heavy weight, and, as the gastric juice
car only attack its surface, it digests
very slowly. But this same milk, taken
slowly, or with dry toast, light rolls, or
soft, dry porridge forms a porous lump
through which the gastric juice can
easily pass, and which breaks up every
time the stomach turns it over. Milk
should be slightly sailed, and eaten
with breadstutfs OF slipped by the spoon
full. Cows milk produces less heat
than human milk; a child would grow
thin upon it unless a little sugar were
added. Wheat flour has such IN ex-
cess of heat-producing material as
would fatten a child unduly, and should
have cows milk added to it to reduce
its fattening power.-PAi1adelphia CALL

A SEVERE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Buck" Buchanan's Dangerous MlshaP
While Stringing Wires.

A serious and perhaps a fatal accident
happened to Buck Buchanan, one Of
the employees of the Telephone company,
yesterday. 1t seems that on Sunday one
of the telephone wires running along the
west side of Themes street and to the
northwest corner of Themes and Eigh-
tenth streets, was thrown out of gear
and the circuit broken. Yesterday fore
noon Buchanan went over to Themes
street and nearly opposite Haas black
smith shop, for the purpose of repairing
the wire.
The pole on which the wire was strung
was an electric light pole and was there
fore somewhat shorter than the regular
telephone pole. The point at which the
electric wire is fastened to the pole is not
20 high by a couple of feet as the point
where the telephone wire is strung.
When Buchanan had assembled by
means of the climbers he leaned for
ward to catch the telephone wire. Ashe
did 81 his stomach touched the electric
light wire and he received
the full force Of the current.
Throwing his hands wildly into the air,
and swinging partly around on the pole,
he toppled over and fell nearly head fore
most, a distance OF about eighteen feet, to
the ground, striking with great force on
his head and shoulders. Charlie Goodsell
saw him fall and was the tint man to
reach him. Buchanan was apparently
l~ifeless, aud was carried at once into
Bovecs tent. which stands near the
corner. and medical aid sen. for In the
meantime his clothing Was torn open and
his body and head bafhed in cold water.
For the first FIVE minutes no signs of life
were apparent, but AT the end of that
time, DR.. Hunt having arrived und also
DIR, Corey. he began to show signs
of returning consciousness, At the end
Of fifteen minutes he had so far recovered
as to be able to speak. A hack was then
sent for and he was taken home.
There is no doubt that his injuries are
very serious if not fatal. The point at
which the wire came in contact with his
body was across the right side of the
abdomen, and it burned n hole Though
his clothing and into the flesh for an
eighth of an inch. 1t is probable that his
injuries from the fall are quite as serious
as those sustained by the shock. His
physician last evening while admitting
that it was a very serious case stated, how
ever, that he believed he would come out
all right eventually.

The writer believes that an adequate ex

the habits OF the Irish people. 1t is wei
known that all over the south and west of
Ireland thousands of the peasantry live in
mud cabins, which are for the most part
several feet below the level of the surround
ing soil, many of them destitute of windows,
doors and chimneys, the places OF which ars
supplied by simple holes. The cabins are
warmed by a peat-fre in the center Of the
burrow under the hole in the roof.
The fuel Is got from the adjacent
bog, and It's smoke would speedily

According to Marshall c'Human and Com

about six ounces of bread, or four ounces and

follows that, in order to support ths body at
all, enormous quantities must be eaten. The
stomach expands to accommodate the huge
bulk OF this inefficient food, the body becomes
