Bacteria In MIX.

Some very interesting experiments on
the subject of bacteria in milk have
been carried out at the Storrs Expert
mental Station by Prof. Conn, from
which it appears that extremes of both
cold and heat are alike injurious to this
minute life. Cold binders their develop
ment, while they are killed when the
boiling point is reached. They multiply
rapidly in milk and cream when ex-
posed to the air, causing milk to sour
and curdle. When the vessels contain
ing milk are not washed properly, they
lurlk about and multiply in the sides
and joints of milk vessels in the min
ute proportions of the milk left there.
The facts brought out show the inn
portance of keeping milk so far as pos
sible free from them by the greatest
cleanliness in the dairy, and of cooling
the milk immediately after coming

CHEAP RESTAURANTS.
Bedrock Charges Undoubtedly Reachs

Bedrock Charges Undoubtedly Reached
In the German Capital.
The cheapest restaurantsin the world
are undoubtedly in Berlin.
The effort TO introduce horse-fesh in
New York as an article of food has
brought all the facts concerning the
Berlin restaurants promptly to the
front. There are dozens of places there
where the meat Of horses is eaten regu-
larly, and they are Endorsed by the
health authorities of the German cap
ital.
These restaurants furnish meal Of
horse meat, bread and coffee for the
moderate sum of six cents.
This would seem to be the bedrock
charge for meal even in Berlin, but
there is still lower grade OF restaurant
Very few tourists visit the restaurants
on the outskirts and building districts
of the city where the very poorest Ger
mans buy their meals.
In these places there is long bench
placed in front of a table, in which soup
plates made of tin are sunk into the
wood. The plates will hold little
more than a pint of liquid. Opposite
each plate or pan is a tin spoon chained
to the table.
The prospective diner enters the res
taurant, places three cents opposite his
plate and then shouts ''thick soup" or
'thin soup" according to his epicurean
desire. Then the comfortable and in
variably very fat old woman who runs
the restaurant waddles forward with
steaming kettle in her hand, fills the
pan in front of the diner with soup,
seizes his money, waddles back to the
stove and then returning slams large
and square lump of black bread down in
front of the guest.
The description is not alluring, but in
reality every thing about these cheap
restaurants is so exquisitively bright
and clean, the soup is so good and the
bread is so nutritious that no one need
be afraid of it. Such places in the poorer
districts 81 London and New York at
the prices would be blessing during
the winter months.-N. Y. World.
