What is Filtration?

From the London Figaro.
What is Irritation? Really
How can tell you that?
But when she smiles / see It's wiles,
And when he lifts his hat.
IT'S walking in the moonlight,
It's buttonlng on a glove;
It's lips that speak of plays next week,
While eyes are talking love.
Ills meeting in the ballroom,
IT'S whirling in the dance,
'Tis something hid beneath the lid.
More than simple glance.
IT'S lingering in the hallway,
tbs sitting on the stair,
IT'S bearded lips on finger tips,
If mamma isn't there.
'Tis tucking in the carriage,
It's asking for a call,
lis long good-nights in tender lights,
And that is-no, not all
It's parting when It's over,
And one goes home TO sleep;
Best joys must end, ira la, my friend,
But one goes home to weep,

The Presidents Grim Humor.

Neo York Letter TO Cine nnati Inquirer.
congressman was lately telling me about
his visit to President Cleveland to have an old
matter reopened This congressman was re-
publican and rather well disposed towards
Cleveland because he expressed himself with
such aggressiveness towards fellow repub-
cans that he is in more or lesss hot water with
them. Expecting nothing from Cleveland, he
was surprised to find that he had a half-hour
given to him. After he had presented his case
he said:
Mr.. President. / would be willing to leave
the settlement of this case to a friend Of yours.
l suppose you have friend|'
He had said tins unconsciously He looked
up and Cleveland was smiling the grimmest
kind Of smile.
YES said the President, 81 think l might
be able to find one friend if tried"

Insuring Registered Packages

1t is not generally known probably that
the government does not make good the
value of registered packages lost or stolen
in Transmission. The loss in sucl cases is
borne by the senders. There is some pro-
lection to the sender, however, as u regis
tered package is much more easily traced
than one not registered and as in great
many instances the lost or stolen property
is recovered.
Beginning with Jan. l, New York in
surance company adopted the feature of in
surfing such packages. The insurance will
begin at the time the sender receives from
the postmaster a receipt for the registered
package or letter, and will end when the
package or letter is delivered to the person
addressed. If it should be stolen or lost in
transmission, an amoant equal TO its actual
value would be PAD by the company to the
sender.
This feature is not altogether new in in
surance, but heretofore it has been confined
within very narrow limit. 1t ought to
prove popular with business houses and in
dividuals, as doubtless a very great amount
of money and merchandise has been lost or
stolen while being transmitted as registered
matter.
Some months ago, it will be remembered =,
a registered package containing $40, 900 was
posted at an Office on the Pacific coast, and
was addressed to a New York bank. 1t
failed to reach its destination, and for some
time quite a sensation was produced
throughout the country. So far as has
been stated, it was not traced, and the
senders had TO bear the loss. This is only
one instance in many. though in the other
instances the sum transmitted was not
nearly so great
OF course the New York company ex-
poets to make money in the business, and
it probably will AT the same time it will
confer a benefit upon the public.

Gov. Hills Recommendation.

| Gov. Hill Of New York, made several
! important recommendation in his message
TO the legislature besides that relating to
ballot reform. One of them was that the
| legislature request congress TO submit to
the people an amendment to the federal
constitution, extending the terms Of Pres-
dent and Nice President from four to six
years, and making them ineligible for
reelection. Such an amendment was
extensively discussed recently by the press
Opinions with regard to it were obtained
from some of the leading citizens of the
country, and It met with considerable favor.
No doubt there is a very large number of
people in the country who favor it, but
congress has pursued the policy of going
very slow in amending the constitution,
and it probably win take the view with
regard to this that there is not a general
demand for it,
Gov. Hill thinks also that Immediately on
their retirement from the presidency, Presi-
dents should become life members of the
Senate, with appropriate salaries, and that
an amendment to that effect should apply
to all living exPresdents His suggestions
ex-Presdents very rarely become candidates
for any other public Office, and, therefore,
the country loses the services OF some Of its
most capable citizens.
Another recommendation made by Gov
Hill is that the New York legislature take
steps looking TO a conference of all the
states for the discussion of uniform divorce
laws. This recommendation is both timely
and wise Probably the divorce laws of no
two states are alike, and those Of nearly all
Of them need amendment. The rapid III
crease Of divorces and the ease with which
hey may be obtained in some states make
it absolutely essential to the well being of
society that something be done to check the
divorce evil, and there is no better way of
beginning this reform than for the different
states to confer together and, if possible,
agree upon uniform laws, which then could
be adopted by congress for the whole coun-
try, or by the legislatures for each state.

that many southern colored voters seem to
be drifting from the Republican party, but
he is thought to have avoided the tariff

to have escaped the notice OF the press

it covered too much ground. On the same

that Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew has signined

Mischjef-makers in Milk,

According to Prof. Vaughan. tyrotoXicon
does not develop below 60 deg. Fahr., and is
anaerobic-grows when air is excluded. Some
very simple measures. then, are preventive:
/. Scrupulous cleanliness. A little dry milk
on the rim of a can or vessel may breed the
germ which will find culture-ground in fresh
milk.
2. A low emperature-below 60 deg. Fahr.
3. Ventilation in an untainted atmosphere.
1t is but just to say that these precautions are
generally observed by careful dairymen and
to fear, however, that they are not generally
hands. Also, the slightest careIessness may
affect seriously that class of the community
which does not sLeak for tself-the very
youngest.
Statistics prove with increasing testimony
that all artificial feeding is rot only unnatural
but hazardous, and to be successful requires
the most intelligent attention. However. if all
mothers and nurses could learn that milk eX-
posed to foul or warm air for any length of
time may not only sour, but become the vehicle
of virulent poison, perhaps the summer
months would bear better health record.
One word of warning may not be amisS.
Whenever a young child is fed upon cows
milk and this causes symptoms of disagree
