There Is no subject OF moro i'm
portance TO the health and life OF
human beings, and one SO little UNDER
stood, as the manner in which impur-
tiles get into milk. and the effect such
have upon the after products OF 1t and
the health OF the persons who consume
them. The theory that most diseases
may be traced TO germs In the atmos-
phere that all animal kind breathe,
the water they drink. or the food they
eat, is now generally adopted. and
upon this theory must be based the
precautions to be observed In properly
caring for the health OF man.
To have pure milk, the first reaui-
site Is a healthy COW. II is now be-
you'd doubt that an occasional COW Is
afflicted with tuberculosis, or cancer
GUS affections, and their milk manu-
featured into butter and cheese. and
then sold on the general market. IT,
deed, this has recently been observed
BY the writer; and is 1t not fair to pre-
sumo that these diseases in this man.
ner may be transmitted to the persons
who consume the products OF this
milkP Tho only suggestive remedy
for this state OF affairs is that ii be
made obligatory upon dairymen TO get
a clean bill OF health OF their cows
from competent veterinarian at
stated periods. The COW can also
contaminate her milk by drinking
flthv water from stagnant pools.
Surface water is generally unfit to be
taken into the stomachs OF any ami
mails. The earth beneath its surface
Is penetrated with streams OF pure
water. as the animal system is with
blood coursing through veins and
arteries. and common sense would
dictate that there is the place to look
for drinking water for cows. Cows
can transmit bacteria to their milk by
being compelled to smell putrid car
cases OF animlls lying in the pasture
field or other places, and by inhaling
the bacteria-laden atmosphere OF un-
savory stables. pig-pens and cesspools.

How PhiladelphIa Il Numbered.

Hum .7ous New York Bows.

The fence on the Eighth avenue side Of
the Manhattan Athletic club grounds, be-
tween Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh
streets, is always covered with theatrical
posters. For a few days large and high
~ colored picture representing the death
of the heroine in a melodrama attracted
the attention of passers by. The PROSTATE
figure of the woman in life size, and the
words ''She is dead" appear as coming from
the lips of a man who is standing over her.
One evening two small boys paused in
front of the picture. They were ragged
and dirty, but pert and quick witted, as
most New York gamins are. There was
an unbroken line of pedestrians moving
up and down the street. Suddenly, with
voices pitched in a shrill key, the urchins
began to cry. Each one rubbed his grimy
fists in his eyes and danced about as if in
pain. Louder and louder grew their yells
as their physical contortions increased in
vehemence. People stopped and gazed at
the boys in Amusement. Soon a good sized
crowd blocked up the sidewalk, and still
the urchins kept up their racket.
A sympathetic young woman touched
one of the boys on the shoulder and said:
Little boy, what is the matter? Tell me,
and perhaps l can help your"
mo yer can't" blubbered the lad be-
tween yells.
why not? What is itf" asked the SYM
pathetic lady.
"'Cause she's deadr' shrieked the boy,
pointing to the picture, and then he and
his companions gave vent to peals of de-
risive laughter such as only New York boys
can emit. The crowd speedily dissolved

Shotgun Shells.

A practical joke was played by an ex-
Confederate officer, Colonel Aylett, upon
some of his old companions in arms. He
had a company of friends at his country
place, near Richmond, and one evening a
display of fireworks was announced. To
ward the close of the evening Colonel Ay-
| lett called me and two or three other young
| fellows to him and said, 81 want you to
help me fool some of the old soldiers, if
you will"
OF course we jumped at the chance, and
asked for orders.
What l mean to do" he said, sis to
make these veterans believe that l am
shooting bombshells from my shotgun.
| Here are some giant fireorackers. Each of
you take two of them, go down into the
field yonder, spread yourselves out in line
about a hundred yards apart, and listen
for the bugle shall aim at you in rota-
ton, and as soon as you see the fash of the
gun, the one whose turn it is must throw
a cracker into the air as high as possible,
so that it viii explode before reaching the
ground"

shells from his gun.
The signal was given, and the gun was
fired. In a few seconds a bright fash was
seen in the air, and loud explosion fol-
lowed. The shots were repeated until six
had been fired.
We could hear the ordinations that fol-
lowed each discharge, and in a few min
utes were back again, mingling with the
crowd and listening to the comments of
the veterans.
1T reminded them of the war" they
said. Some of them could distinctly trace
the flight of the shell from the instant it
left the gun until it exploded"
We begged Colonel Aylett not to unde-
ceive them, but he declared that it would
be wrong to leave them under false i'm
preston. The whole affair showed what
strange pranks imagination will some
times play with sober reason.-Cor. Youth S

The Gorgeous Theater.

II is much to be desired that actors
should be duly protected against the laches
of INSCRIPTIONS employers, and against
the perils of insanitary dressing rooms and
of i'll constructed theaters; complaints
such matters are, unfortunately, only 6
well founded. There are, especially in
smaller provincial towns, numberlesS a
venturers, theatrical managers-Heaven
save the mark,-whosec capital consists of a
limited stock of picture posters, probably
obtained on credit, and unlimited stock of
innate efTrontery.
Small as are the salaries they covenant
TO pay their actors, they seldom diShurse
them in full, while an ingenious system of
proclaiming the end of a season in one
town, and inviting applications for re-
engagement in the next enables them TO
saddle their unhappy company with the
cost of any unusually expensive railway
journey.
Again, those who only play the part of
audiences in our theaters little know how
apt is sanitary and architectural reform to
stop short on their side of the footlights.
There are theaters, gorgeous as TO their
fovers and corridors with gliding and cleo
trio lights, whose sanitary arraD gements
behind the scenes would disgrace howell,
whose stages communicate with the street
bv passages so tortuous that strangers
chances of threading the labyrinth amid
fire and smoke would be well nigh hope
less. The bogus manager and the insani-
tary theater are certainly Ills which cry
aloud for remedy.-Saturday Review.

The Resurrection Bone.

Throughout the Middle Ages it was be-
lieved that there exists in man a bone i'm
ponderable, incorruptible, incombustible,
the necessary nucleus of the resurrection
body. Belief in a resurrection OF the physi-
cal body, despite St. Paul's Epistle to the
Corinthians, had been Incorporated into

time, and called the Apostles Creed, and
was held throughout Christendom, al
ways, everywhere, and by all"

Whistling for a Wind.

There is nothing so tedious, so aggrava-
ting TO the sailor as dead calm. Drift,
drift, drift, day after day, the great burn
until the eye becomes wearied with the
eternal brightness. The sailor goes about
mis- work listlessly. Not so the officer of
the deck. He PAGES the poop with quiet,
nervous tread. ''whistling for wind"
He is scanning the horizon north, south,
east and west, carefully noting every little
patch of clouds and whistling with all of
his soul for wind. This is one OF the old,
old superstitions Of the sailor, one of the
beliefs which has been traced hither and
thither, but never to the Precipitation Of
the gods. 1t probably had its origin in the
impatience of the mariner who, while his
vessel lay drifting idly in the Zone of
Gains" remembered with regret the
noarse moaning, shrieking and whistlinE
of the winds in the more favored spots on
the deep, and Involuntary tried 70 i'm
ltate. it.
And this superstition is strengthened by
the character of the whistling, for it must
be remem bered that the becalmed sailor
does not whistle Annie Laurie" or any Of
the popular songs Of the day. The Iona
some thrill Of his monotonous whistle is
a series OF polyglot sounds that would set
a maybe wild with envy. He does not aim
at rhythm, but elects his pufs Of air in
long and short notes, now high, now low,
like the sounds produced by the wind blow
ing through the ropes OF the riggiag.-St
