swiss Honey Always To he Found on tho
Breakfast Table.
One thing that travelled Americans are
likely TO remember. because it is the sole
article they ever get abroad without pay
ing for it. Is Swiss honey. AT nearly
every inn in the little republic honey is
always on the breakfast table, and you
may eat as much as you like without cost.
Generally strained, it Is frequently called
virgin honey. which it is not. Most of
our countrymen have always been taught
to believe that 1t is pure, the much
boasted but rarely discovered honesty
Of the Swiss being regarded as a guar
antee Of its purity.
1t - now declared, and is doubtless
true. that Swiss honey is almost invari-
ably made Of giycerine and pear juice
not so bad A. are many authorizations.
As Las has been one of the things in
which We have had complete faith.
the discovery will have a tendency to
,hatter the little confidence we have
left Swiss honey, however, is not in
Iurious, for which, perhaps. we should
be thankful. 1t is not like the famous
honey of 1%rebizond. which is positively
poisonous, causing severe headaches and
nausea. Xenophon. in his "Anabasis, -
describes it as producing the effect of
temporary madness on the whole army
Recent travellers in that valley have OBJ
served the same consequences, and
ascribe it to the rhododendron. Of which
the bees there are very fond. Swiss

1t il difficult for us Americans who
stay at home and ead rather humdrum
lives to realize the mighty changes which
are taking place in other lands. Here in
Africa, for instance, which is being at
tackled by ciyilizing influences from
every quarter. The English are hard at
work in northeastern and southern Az
RIGA, the French in north Africa, while
the Germans and Portuguese are pene-
trating that continent from the east
and west coasts. The Portuguese gov
eminent is building a railroad from Lo-
anda, IN the west coast, to Ambaca, 223
miles inland. Another road is soon to
he constructed to Congo land. In the
meanwhile white travellers, principally
Germans, are making themselves at
home in all parts of the interior. They
are welcomed everywhere, and oddly
enough their chief embarrassment is tho
desire of the African princesses to marry
them. One Serpa Pinto had to fly in the
night from an Ambuella princess who
offered him the alternative OF marriage
OF death. Herr Buchner had the utmost
difficulty in declining a marital alliance
with a sister OF Muata Yano, who offered
broad acres and herds of cattle if he
would only be her spouse. Herr Hopf-
ner has been adopted into an African
tribe as the kings son. John Dunno, =
Scotchman. is the most important chief
of the thirteen in Zululand. and there
are scores of other white men who are
becoming all powerful in the interior OF
Africa. The next century will see a
great change in the status of the Dark
Continent. -Demorest's Monthly.

all. the water is seldom at the boil

The duty OF self knowledge and self.
culture along some one definite line
should be Impressed VI every young per
son. 1t is not selfish; on the contrary.
it is what makes 1t possible to be of any
real good to others. For when any one
is doing his own true work in the best
way, he is also benefitting his fellow
men, whether he is conscious of it or
not. Beyond this, however, it is chiefly
through the discipline of this culture
that we come to understand others, and
to know how to help them. One who is
vigorously bending himself to his own
life duties is in a fur better position to
give intelligent aid to others in their
struggles than one who, having no pur-
pose, devotes himself to forming or
mending those Of other people.-Phila-

MILL FOR CHILDREN.
How 1t should he Used and Regulated
for tho Infant.


for the Infant.
Keep the child's milk separate from
that intended for the rest of the house
hold. Have ready a pan that has been
properly cleansed by being thoroughly
washed and rinsed, and rinsed again in
a solution of ~bicarbonate of soda. to re-
ceive the milk. In hot weather the milk
should be placed on the fire and the
temperature brought to a point just
short of boiling-do not let it boil. 1t
should then be put in a proper recepta-
Gle and placed in a coo place, or a re-
frigerator which does not contain veg
etables. 1t should then be prepared as
follows: Milk, one-half pint; pure water,
one half pint; powdered sugar Of milk,
one tablespoonful; phosphate of lime, ono
grain. Dissolve the sugar and lime in
the water and add the milk. This is
the nearest approach to human milk
that car be prepared.
AS the child grows. add less water.
A good rule is this. Until one month.
add two-thirds water: one-half water
until three months, one-third water until
the sixth month, o%ne-fourth until the
ninth month and one sixth until one
year OF age, when the child can take
milk clear, and often In combination
with some of the infant food upon the
market. The water should be boiled
and allowed to cool before using, as this
will purify it by destroying any germs
1t may contain. Some will no doubt
ask why heat the milk. During high
temperature. when the mercury ranges
from SO TO 100 degrees. there is rapid
decomposition of milk. the caseine Is
rapidly coagulated, and in this condi-
ton it eXerts a peculiar action (cataly-
tic) upon the other solids Of the milk,
particularly upon the sugar, forming
Tactic acid. The milk loses its alkaline
reaction and becomes sour. when it Is
not fit for further use. The heating OF
the milk retards this process.-Anti-
Adulteration journal.

Sweeps out the hills our love has known.

When bark the west winds herald cries,
And by his sweet persuasion led
Behold one far faint sparkle sped
Thro' rifted mists. | keep glad eyes,
Dream happy things Above are spread

Life, eager heart OF mine, is storm.

Closer and deeper phantoms form,
Thy near horizon wells In tears.
