1t is proposed to start lactoserine fac
tory in tho United States to prepare the
new article Of food invented a year or 80
ago by Swedc, Wilhelm Rhcnstroin.
If the article comes into general use, and
if it is as good as it is believed to be, it
will do away entirely with the problem
what to do with the skim milk to make
1t pay. Mr.. Rhenstrom's process prom
isos to mako it pay almost as well rs new
mill; itself.
Tho Rural New Yorker sent a corrc-
spondcnt to Sweden to investigate the
properties OF the new food and the proc
ess Of making it. In Sweden there is
already factory for its manufacture.
! The Rural correspondent attended din
nor at which every article Of food into
whose composition milk enters was pre-
pared with lactoserine instead. He re-
ports that If there was any difference in
the flavor of the dishes it was in favor Of
lactoserinc as against milk. The change
the article will work for the better in
case Of persons too poor TO buy all The
milk they want can scarcely be rcckonod.
Mingled with cocoa lactoserine makes
q drink moro delicious than ordinary
cocoa or chocolate. Coffee prepared with

PHELAN AND FLEMING.

Just as the LEAF-CHRONICLE OBJ
served at first, Mr.. Phelan was sick
and irritable and did not know or re-
gard the code in sending Mr..
Fleming challenge to fight duel.
Col. Galloway, who is familiar with
the code duello, says no gentleman
can afford to challenge "a liar, cow
ard and scoundrel." We think he
might afford TO challenge coward,
but would let himself down by call
ing out the other two fellows. II
Mr.. Phelan had felt perfectly well
and been in condition to attend to
such business, his message would
have taken somewhat this shape:
Ny DEAR Col. FLEMING: Ihave
just read your spicy and entertaining
communication to the Commercial
with much qualification, and take
this early opportunity Of assuring
you, dear Colonel, that the very high
esteem in which you are held
prompts me in sending this message,
begging that / may indulge the ex-
qusite pleasure of drawing little of
your carmine fluid in token of my
sincerity in the above expression. /
will start Immediately on receipt of
your answer to Knoxville to arrange
preliminaries. Your most obedient
servant, JAMES PHELAN.
Then Col. Fleming would have re-
piled alter this fashion:
Hon. James Ptelan, NJ. c..
Ny DEAR JIMMIE: Your es-
teemed favor duly received. 1t
found me in bed very sick, and can
assure you that it afforded me the
greatest relief, serving as rich tonic
and restorative, and in appreciation
OF this kindly service, believing you
sincere, | accept your generous offer
to come to Knoxville and arrange pre-
liminaries, and most cordially invite
you to come at your earliest opportu-
nifty. In the meanwhile | will see
my friend, Pierce Dickinson, and
have him to drive us over to his
model island farm, assuring you that
it will afford me the greatest pleas
ure to paint the graveled streets of
his flowery home red with what lit
tie crimson you may have to spare
Very truly your humble servant,
JOHN M. FLEMING.
Now, such a correspondence as this
would have been in perfect accord
with the code, while it would have
exhibited the good breeding, educa-
ton and high moral courage of both
gentlemen, and fitted them for writ
ing two school histories each after
the duel was over. But due allow
ance must be made for bad health
and an unbalanced state of feeling,
which controlled both gentlemen.
They should allow the original cor
respondence to be withdrawn and let
this go to record as Il substitute for
what was written.

THE NEGRO AND THE HOG.

The negro and the hog have at last
locked horns in Congress, and if the
negro had half a showing by his
Northern Republican brethren, he
would get the hog down, but the hog
seems to be on top. 1t is the Conger
lard bill to tax out of existence COM
pound lard, which is made of cotton
seed oil, which industry has grown
so large as to offer serious competi-
ton to hog lard, and the Conger bill
is in the interest of the great Nor
thern land syndicate. Judge Nor
gan, of Mississippi, says that at least
60 per cent. of the cotton crop is
raised by the negroes. The colored
voters of the Sonth, whose votes the
Republicans are trying to control by
legislation, get their living out of
this business. Judge Morgan further
says it is a contest between the negro
and the hog, and if the negro goes
down in the fight it will be with the
Confederate brigadiers all on his side.

Ancient and Modern Chemistry.

Modern chemistry shows that the medical
lore of the ancient herbalists had a much
sounder basis than had been imagined. In
1897 water crosses were recommended for the
cure of scurvy and scrofula. Chemists now
say that the cress contains sulphur, phosphor-
us, iodine and circumstances that are known
to be actual antidotes to scrofula. In John
Wesley's Herbal, which he priced so highly,
wild carrots are recommended for asthma,
and we now hear that they do promote ex-
pectoration, and thus relieve that trouble
some complaint. Nettles are prescribed for
blood splitting, goose grass for cancer and
cobwebs for ague, and chemistry finds IN each
of these ''simplesn properties now recognized
as useful in the several diseases. Exchange
