The human side of 8 strike is the strik- CTS, says The Boston Record. The hard ships of man who cannot feed his family decently though he toll ever so hard al- ways appeal to us the hardships of dol lar that cannot earn its interest by the ut most sweat of it's metallic brow do not touch our sympathies. A Boston man who has just returned from New York was deeply affected by simple sort of av- craze story that street-car striker in that city told him. q was born in Vermont, ? said the striker, land came to New York fourteen years ago. soon got situation as driver on one of the lines at s. 50 a day. By prudence saved up $500. With this l furnished suite of rooms and then married a sewing girl. My wife did the homework and we got along nicely and lived comfortably. We have several chil- dren now, and, while our expenses have been increasing, my wages have been cut down until at last they reached $1. 75 day. During my fourteen years in New York I have never drank glass of intoxicating liquor, nor glass of beer; nor have | smoked cigar nor chewed tobacco; and to-day have not money enough to SUD- port my family month. For days I don't see my children. I am obliged to report at the stable at o'clock In the morning or lose my car for the day. We have but seven minutes in which to eat our dinners, and as the company provides no place for our dinner-pails, we have to take them along with us on our Car. Many a day this cold winter have eaten frozen dinner. We work sixteen hours day on an average, and often an hour or two extra on account of losing trip by delays. Gan you blame us for striking, sir? The Boston man who heard this story kept thinking about 1t, and the first thing that he did when he reached home was to raise the pay of his men, of whom he employs large number.

A MILWAUKEE SENSATION.

A Quantity of Dynamite Stolen From Stark
Bros Quarry-Fears For the Safety fthe
Court-House-Precaut Measures.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 7.-All sorts Of
rumors as to the disorderly and murder.
Gus intentions of the Socialists have filed
the air all day. Intense excitement was
caused throughout the city yesterday af-
ternoon by the repOrt-afterward con-
frmed-that large quantity Of dynamite
was stolen from Stark Bros quarry.
The explosive was used for blasting pur-
poses, and is known to have been at the
quarry in the morning.
When asked about the occurrence Chief
of Police Bless said he would make no
statement informing the public that the
mob was armed with dynamite. Itwould
only add to the excitement OF the hour
and do no good. The public had no pro-
lection against warfare by dynamite.
The authorities sent for the man in
charge of the quarry, and Mayor WalhGr
and Chief Bless were closeted with him
at headquarters to learn all the facts re-
garding the theft known to him. The
quantity of dynamite stolen is not to be
| divulged. Mayor Walber directed, after
the interview, that all valuable books be
removed from the Courthouse to place
of safety, and arrangements were made to
guard the building from attack by
| dynamiters.

replied.
The leg was amputated at noon, and
Flavin stood the operation quite well.
He also has bad bullet wound in his

his case avery critical one.
officer Nels Hansen passed q good

Officer Jacob Hansen it is feared will

How To Disinfect.

Clothing which requires disinfe citing
should be submitted for about three
hours to temperature of $50 degrees
in chamber charged with sulphur
fumes from large body of sulphur.
The chamber should be So constructed
as to prevent the fumes from passing
off. No germs can stand this.
After a room has been used by per-
son sick with any contagious disease, it
becomes necessary to disinfect it before
it is fit to be used again. This is done
by removing and burning the paper ON
the walls. removing the bedsteads and
other furniture, and exposing them to
air and wind, and giving them a fresh
coat of varnisb; by having the mattress
made over new and the hair boiled; by
burning in the room three pounds OF
sulphur, and by whitewashing, paper,
ing and painting the room anew.
Now that it is generally conceded
that consumption is caused by germs
which multiply IN the lungs, method
of disinfecting them, which shall be
harmless, has been sought for, but as
yet without avail. The vapor of creo.

Milk Drinking as an Art.

Milk should not be taken in copious
draughts. like beer or any other fluids
which differ from it chemically. If we
consider the use of milk in infancy, the
physiological indigestion, that is, of
food provided for it, each small mouth
full is secured by effort, and slowly pre-
sented to the gastric mucous surface for
the primal digestive stages. It is thus
regulated and gradually reduced to
curd, and the stomach is not oppressed
with lump of coagulated milk,
The same principle should be regarded
in the case of an adult. Milk should
be slowly taken in mouthfuls, at short
intervals, and thus it is rightly dealt
with by the gastric juice. If milk be
taken after other food, it is almost sure
to burden the stomach and cause dis
comft and prolonged indigestion, and
this for the oyious reason that there is
not sufficient digestive agency to dis.
pose of it; and the better the quality
of the milk, the more severe the dis
comft under these conditions.-Popu-
lag Science Monthly.

extent they may paralyze or stun the
germs and prevent their rapid increase;
but as the passages of the lungs are
delicate, and the vapor cannot be
brought very near to them without in
jury, the good effects are slight. But
there is one method which cannot fail
to prove beneficial, and that is the in
halation Of large quantities of fresh
pure air. This is worth more than any
disinfectant for the lungs, and eau do
no harm.
