Unless the farmers OF the United States
and OF Mississippi realize these con-
ditions, even in our republican form Of
government we. too. will be "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" to the
other weather. classes. who are better
educated and can cope better with ad-
vancing civilization and discovery. In
face Of all this many farmers are trying
to pull down the only College that can
elevate them in their industry. and are
content to see the other classes con.
tinue to be better educated, and conse-
quently reap the golden harvests- The
lack OF education in their business is
the cause Of trouble with the farmer.
Senator George says: 'The people
who, by their industry and skill create

How the Postmaster OF Magdeburg De-

The correspondent of a Vienna daily has
found new story concerning the first EN-
peror Of new Germany. On his way tc
Carlsbad one summer afternoon Emperor
William, then only King of Prussia, decided
not to allow the citizens to receive him pub
licly. He left the train at a small town
near the springs, took carriage, and was
driven to his hotel almost unnoticed by the
crowds which had gathered to see him ride
under arches, receive maidens in white, and
give the customary kiss 10 the prettiest girl
among them.
The next morning the news got abroad
that the King of Prussia had come Short
ly after daybreak hundreds of persons
stood before the hotel and along the prom
enade which led to his favorite spring. At
eight o'clock an erect man of military bear
ing stepped out of the hotel. He wore
ordinary black clothes and silk hat. He
had white side whiskers, mustache, and a
stride which betrayed, according to the
ideas OF the crowd. the presence of Hohen-
Eollern blood. 'sHis Majesty In civiler'
shouted patriotic Prussian, and the
crowd, convinced that the white whiskered
man In black clothes was the King, still In

A London correspondent of the Philadel-

the English capital, and which is shortly to
be extended to Paris, that it has for its OBJ
Ject to provide well-educated gentlewomen

can be absolutely certain. when she reaches
London, that she will find her apartments
ready, some one waiting for her, carefully
attendant upon her slightest wish, and
br1mful OF information upon any and all
subjects about which she might require to
be enlightened. The writer adds: .sThe as
sociation has an international bureau for
general inquiry, information and employ
ment, and its respectability is guaranteed
by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington,
the Earl OF Powis, the Marchioness of
Hastings, the Countess of Grosvenor, and
many more titled and distinguished people

TWO MEDICAL NOTES.
How Drunkards Are Cured in Norway
Sterilized Milk.

HOW Orunkard6 Are Cured I'm NOrWaY-
Sterilized Milk.
a Weu-known man, who has recently
been In Norway, describes, in the Boston
Globe, the treatment Of drunkards there
1t appears that drunkards are treated as
criminals, in this sense, that the inordinate
love of alcohol renders them liable to i'm
prisonment, and while in confinement they
are cured OF the propensity on a plan
which, although simple, is said to produce
marvellous results. From the day the con-
hrmed drunkard is imprisoned no other
nourishment is served to him or her but
bread and wine. The bread, however, it
should be said, can not be eaten apart from
the wine, but Is stepped in bowl of it and
left to soak thus for an hour or more before
the meal is served to the delinquent. The
first day the habitual topper takes his
food In this shape without the slightest
repugnance; the second day he finds
1t less agreeable to his palate, and
very quickly he evinces a positive aver
sion to it. Generally, the doctor states,
eight or ten days of this regimen is
more than sufficient to make a man loathe
the very sight Of wine, and even refuse the
prison dish set before him. This manner of
curing drunken habits is said to succeed al
most without exception, and men or women
who have undergone the treatment not
only rarely return to their evil ways, but
from sheer disgust they frequently become
total abstainers afterward
1t Is now recognized as imperative that all
cows milk given to young children should
be sterilized by boiling where it is not used
within three or four hours after it comes
from the cow. And when it is not known
that the source of the milk supply is abso-
lutely free from all communicating infiu-
ences, then sterilization should be invaria.
bly, practiced, no matter how fresh the milk
may be- Considering that this need is gen
orally recognized, it is surprising that some
enterprislng dairyman has not ere this be-
gun to furnish sterilized milk in bottles,
tightly corked. 1t would add but little to
his expense, and such milk would be in de-
mand, even at rate above the usual. Let
such custom become general and infant
mortality in towns and cities, especially in
summer, will be much lower than it now is.
