"Hipho Game.

DR.. Wynter Blyth, the medical officer
of health for Marylebone, is the sworn
enemy of high game, on the perfectly
consistent ground that no valid distinc-
ton can be drawn between decomposl-
ton in the rabbit and the same process
in the hare. If one be injurious, he OBJ
served, so must be the other, and though
he does not venture to suggest the prose
cution of vendors of game under the san
itary laws, he does not hesitate to de-
scribe this culinary eccentriclty as
Filthy and disgusting habit" His argu-
ments, however, are double edged. Ad-
hitting that decomposing rabbit Is fully
as injurious as highly favored pheasant,
we are at liberty to argue that, as the
consumption of high game is seldom fol-
lowed by toxic symptoms, the proh1bl-
ton in respect of decompOsing meat gen
orally is unnecessary.
Common experience seems to show
that the products Of ordinary decompo-
sition, at any rate in its earlier stage,
are destroyed or rendered inert by cook
ing: otherwise the mortality among the
disciples Of Lucu1lus in the upper classes
would be phenomenal. The danger lies
presumably in the fact that decompos-
ing animal tissues afford a suitable me-
dunn for the autocultivation OF bac-
terra other than those of decomposition,
the toxic products whereof may resist
the influence of high temperature. We
are loath to believe i'll of a practice
which, if asthetically Objectionable, Is
hallowed by centuries of apparent i'm
punity.--London Medical Press.

Mississippi River Roustabouts.

The roustabouts' faults are excessively
human, and the consequence of a sturdy
belief that they need sharper treatment
than the rest of US leads to their being
urged to do more work than white
man. There were nights on the Provi-
dence when the landings ran close to-
eether and the poor wretches got little
or no sleep. They tote" all the freight
aboard and back to land again on their
heads or shoulders. and it is crushing
work. Whenever the old barbaric in
stinct to loaf or to move by threes at one
mans work would prompt them, one of
the mates was sure to spy the weakness
and roar at the culprits.
The mates showed no actual unkind-
ness or severity while [ was on that boat.
But they all-on all the boats-have
fearsome voices, such as we credit to
nitrate chiefs on .'low, rakish, black
boats" in yellow clad novels. Any one
of them would break up an opera troop.
They rasp at the darlCes i'll their bust
ness voices with Il run up the plank,

A wonan,s Wit.

The other day, says q correspondent
from Alsace, while I was on my way
from NJ. to T., found myself in COM
pany with four gentlemen, each of whom
was smoking. The train stopped at an
intermediate station, and lady was on
the point of entering it. Being nearest
the carriage door, and observing that she
carried basket, fastened to help her
in with it. "Take care" said the lady
81 have six pounds of dynamite IN that
basket, which 1 am taking to my hus-
band in stone quarry" The train then
sped on. Quick as lightning the gentle
men exchanged glances and threw thel1
cigars out of the window. All looked
horror stricken as they glanced first nj
tine frau and then at the basket.
My thoughts conjured up visions OF
the destruction OF the Cafe Very in Par
is. My nominations were suddenly dis
turbed by shout of "Station or yelled
out by porter. The frau rose slowly
from her seat and stepped out upon the
platform. a sigh of relief came from us
all. THANK heaven said one. l trem
bled as handed out the basket, with 1t:
dangerous contents. ''Thanks!" said the
woman. Thanks! You need not looA
so scared There are only some dainty
morsels of food inside for my husband
but your smoke was so vile"

But he is philosopher and great
man." sho urged.
The Boy looked straight into her eyes.
But he didn't know you, sweetheart,
he said, putting a strong arm round her.
Don't you know by this time that for
me all art, all knowledge, all philosophy
is bound up in a single word-you-who
are love and philosophy and all art and
beauty incarnate?'
There was q tremulous silence for few
minutes. Only Venus and l heard the
deep, quick breaths coming from the hud-
died little figure concealed behind pill
lar. The Boy and the fair girl passed
out, she leaning on his arm and looking
half roguishly, half tenderly up to him
1t was then that looked around for
the little gray student. She seemed
stunned. After a minute she pushed
back her easel, rose to her feet and came
forward, cropping with her hands in a
blind, bewildered fashion, then fell prone
at the foot of the Venus. And the sun
shine fickered lovingly down on the
shabby, gray linsy and the rich mosaics
on the floor.
Some one came in few hours later
and carried her away gently. She has
never returned.
No, don't blame the boy. 1t wasn't
anybody's fault in particular. He was
kind to her because he couldn't help 1t;
he was as sympathetic as the tenderest
woman, and much too good and simple
souled to play with her feelings. 1t was
Just one of those cases where nobody
knew"

good listener. Come again another day,

Science is pressing relentlessly on the
heels of the microbe. The latest method
of coping with this minute but potent
source of disease is to literally cast it out
of the abiding place in which it has in
stalled itself. Heterogeneous contain
substances for the most part heavier
than water, and this fact has led to the
introduction of method of separating
them from water, milk and other liquids
by centrifugal force. a speed of about
900 revolutions minute serves to clear
a large number of microbes from the
liquid and render it impid. --Exchange
