The Dahl process ofpreserving milk
by sterilizing it and excluding atmos-
pheric germs is stated to have como into
use only in Norway, but efforts are now
being made to introduce it into England.
In this process fresh milk is placed in
cans, which are herme etically sealed and
then alternately heated and cooled until
every organ ism or germ is supposed to
have been destroyed. Milk thus treated
may be kept in the unopened cans for
an idefinite period, and has been found
after thrpe years to have the taste and
appearance of the best fresh milk.

Beauty of Spanish Women.

If were asked to state in one sem
tence wherein lies the chief advantage
of Spanish women over those of other
countries, and to what they chiefly owe
their fame for beauty, should say that
if Spanish girl has round checks, and
has medium-sized, delicately-cut nose
and mouth, she is almost certain to be a
complete beauty; whereas if an imeri'
can or English girl has good nose,
mouth and cheeks, the chances are still
against her having beautiful COM
plexion, and fine eyes, hair and teeth,
which Spanish girls are always endowed
with as q matter of course. But over
and above every thing else, 1t is the
unique grace and the exquisite fem
ininity, unalloyed by any trace of mas
culine assumption or caricaiure, that
constitute the eternal charm CT Spanish
wemen.-Scribner's Magazine.

MOTHERS HANDS.


Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They were not white nor small,
And you, know, would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be;
Yet were these aged, wrinkled hands
More beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Though hearts were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on
That children might be glad.
I almost weep as looking back
To childhood's distant day
I think how her hands rested not,
When mine were at their play.
But oh beyond this shadow.land,
Where all is bright and fair,
know full well those dear old hands
The palms OF victory bear
Where crystal streams, through endless time,
Flow over golden sands;
And while the old grow young again
I'll clasp my mothers hands

after lighting cigarette, CLOTHES re-

alcohol and ammonia in equal parts.
That will remove almost any thing with
out touching the color of the fabric.
Then trousers too are to be treated with
some consideration. They must be worn
carefully to prevent them from bagging
at the knees, and not more than three
days each time. They should be pressed
occasionally by tailor, but a trousers
stretcher is an abomination and men,

brushing is needed for felt hats, while
silk tiles should be brushed with stiff
brush and smoothed with piece of
'silkoline' manufactured for the pur-
pose. Shoes should be rotated just the
same way as clothes, and oiled OCCASION

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-The foot ball
game at Eastern park, Brooklyn, in
which the interest of and every lover Of

fought and the blue banner of Yale flies
proudly in the breeze while the orange
and black of Prince ton trails in defeat.

score being 0 to Yale's SO.
The game was witnessed by at least
80, 900 spectators.
About 1925 o'clock the crowds that
were seated on the free stands on the
eastern side made frantic endeavors to
get place of vantage. In the scramble
that followed vast throng of men
who were standing in front thought they
could see a way whereby they could
get seats in the rush. They crowded
onto the seats, which were ordinary
portable baseball seats, made of cast
iron with planks across for seats
The minute the rush began an omin-
Gus crack was plainly heard. 1t was
followed by crash, a roar, which was
soon drowned by the voices of men and
women crying out in distress The
north end of the eastern bleachers had
fallen and many were injured, and the
cheers and horns were hushed. 1t was
half an, hour before the crowd recovered
its wonted gaiety. They could not hold
off any longer, and as the time for the
beginning of the game was near the
shock of the accident was soon forgot
