WOnnan'S World.
MILK FOR AN INVALID.
It may be ScaId-d, Frozen, Favored and
Disguised In many ways.

III many Why's.
Milk contains all the elements that
are required to sustain life, writes
Elizabeth Robinson Scovil in the
April Ladies Home Journal. 1t is
usually the chief article of diet when
solid food is prohibited
There are many ways of prepar-
ing it and these have three ends in
view, to render it more palatable,
more digestible and more nutritious.
After living upon milk alone for a
few days many invalids become ex-
ceedingly tired of it. The skillful
nurse will never permit this stage to
be reached. She knows that her
patient must depend upon this food
for nutriment, and she tries to give
it so that it will not pail upon the
tagging appetite. To secure this
she must vary the mode of present
ing it. 1t may be given just brought
to the scalding point, but not al
lowed to boil, and served in cup
like tea or bouillon. Ice cold, just
taken from the refrigerator in sum-
mer, or the cold closet in winter,
and served in glass. Frozen. To
do this have two tin kettles, one
much larger than the other. Put
the milk in the smaller one, and
stand it in the other; fill the space
with pounded ice and coarse salt,
two-thirds ice to one-third salt, well
mixed, In ten minutes, with a knife
scrape the congealing milk from the
sides of the can, and beat the mass
thoroughly. Repeat this operation
every ten or fifteen minutes, until
the whole is frozen. The beating
makes it smoother. Sugar and any
flavoring can be used if ice-cream is
desired, and water-ice can be frozen
in the same way. Favored: Add
sugar or salt, vanilla, lemon, rose
water, stimulant, as brandy or whis
key, when it is ordered; or, if per.
mitted, a little strong coffee or tea
to disguise the milky taste. Mixed
with lime water, add one or two
tablespoonfuls of lime-water to each
glass of milk. Vichy and soda water
may also be used. Peptonized: This
process partially digests the food be
fore it is taken, and relieves the
stomach of some of it's responsibility

The Chinese naval squadron is to
be strengthened. In the recent re-
assignment Of ships incident to the
breaking up of the naval review, the
Baltimore was assigned as the flag
ship at the Chinese station. 1t has
now been decided to have the gun
boat Concord accompany the Balti
more to the Asiatic station. 1t is
hoped to have both vessels under
way not later than July l. They will
60 via Europe and through the Suez
Canal.
1t is understood the gunboat Ma
chias, is also booked for the Chinese
station, but several months will
elapse before she is fitted out for the
foreign cruise The purpose of the
administration appears to be to
utilize a number of small gunboats
on the Asiatic station.
Officials say nothing is especially
significant in the proposed augmen-
tation of forces in the Chinese wa
ters. 1t is only carrying out the
unders 'ood policy of utilizing the
warships where there are large
American interests represented as
fast as they become available for
service and that the withdrawal of
some of the old vessels ON that sta
ton for repairs makes it necessary
for others to take their places. AT
the same time it is admitted that
complaints from Americans of actual
or threatened outrages are growing
rather numerous of late, and that
there will be plenty of work for all
the vessels that can be spared for
this station.

The Coyote Bounty.

The State of California will no
longer pay bounties for coyote scalps
unless compelled to do so by the
Supreme Court. The State Board
of Examiners, which hitherto has al
lowed claims of So for each scalp de-
livered to the proper county officials,
has set its foot down on the bust
ness, and the board now says that
the only power which can make it
audit the claims is the highest tribu-
nal of the State.
From the time of the passage of
the act by the Legislature of 1891
the State has paid out on account of
coyote claims something like $500
900, and at the same ratio, if the
State had not quit, much more than
that sum would have been paid out
by the time the next Legislature
met. The last claims the State paid
were for the quarter ending Septem-
ber, 1892, and since that time over
$50, 600 in claims have accumulated
They are stacked up in the Office of
the Board of Examiners and will re-
main there unapproved. AS the law
directs the examiners to take up the
claims before it every month, these
coyote claims will be taken up and
passed without approval from month
to month.
The payment of these claims has
made big hole in the State Treas
ury from the general fund money
which should have gone for other
and better purposes. Had the Leg
islature provided special appropri-
alton the examiners would be COM
PEELED to audit these claims; but in
asmuch as there is no special appro-
priation the Governor, Attorney
General and Secretary of State do
not propose to allow the general
fund to be raided in the manner it
has been.
Although the coyote act has been
decided constitutional by the Su-
preme Court the Board of Examin-
ers contend that, in the absence of a
special appropriation, there is. an
open question as to whether those
claims can be paid out of any fund in
the State treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated. Until this question is
settled not single coyote claim will
be allowed. The examiners them
selves will not bring suit to settle
the question, and some person inter
ested will have to do it.

John L. Osmond was killed by
electricity shortly before noon of
June II, at Sing Sing, N. Y, for the
murder of his wife, Mary, and cousin,
John G. Burchell, in the apartments
of the latter in New York City in
October, 1891. Jealousy was the
cause. Osmond had an opportunity
to escape on the night that Pallister
and Roehl got away, but refused to
take advantage of it.

CLEAN UP,
Keep a Plentiful Supply of Lime, Potasl
and COpperas on Hand.

The sanitary condition of the
household is subject on which one
should never weary of expatiating.
At this time more than usual care
needs to be exercised, for as the
warm days come the disease-germs
propagate with great rapidity and
before long will get the upper hand
of the careless housekeeper. Look
to the cellar, see that there are no
vegetables or fruit in half-decayed
state, clear out odds and ends of all
sorts, sweep, scrape, scrub, if neces-
sary, brush out, dust all ashes from
the heater that have accumulated
during the winter and hang around
on cobwebs, for they are nurseries of
disease. Dark spots on the wall
should be cleared off and white
washed.
Keep a can of potash on the shelf
over the kitchen sink, drop few
crystals into the sink and let the
water dissolve it and run away
through the pipes; watch all damp
corners; if the walls are watersoaked
and paper falls off, leaving colony
of well-developed fungus-growths in
various shades of blue and black,
scrape the walls, get little Port
land cement, mix il with water and
put it on with a whitewash brush.
Work rapidly, mixing small guam
tity at time, and this will not only
give the walls hard finish but will
make them as waterproof as china
cup.
Lime is great purifier, and cop.
peras water is invaluable for killing
disease germs. Two or three pounds
of copperas dissolved in half a barrel
of water and used with a sprinkler
around drains and low places where
the water settles out-of-doors, may
save doctors large bill or break
in the family circle. Pour few
pailfuls of copperas water down the
sink and through the pipes, deluge
water closets with it and scatter il
in all places where there are bad
odors.

THE NO FENCE LAW.

Banner Democrat: Soon after The
WHY crevasse occurred the Hon. Police
Jury passed the "po fence law" This
was done with the best Of intentions,
the object being TO assist stricken
people in their efforts to make por-
ton OF \ crop under CRATE difficulties.
Very little attention seems TO have
been paid 10 this law for various.reas-
ons. Some thought the law could not
be enforced, others thought il was too
hard and injurious to the poor people !;
but most of the planters concluded
that il would be easier aud cheaper
and much less trouble 10 repair Their
fences. aud this has been done to such
an extent that there is very little dill
ference between the condition Of plan-
tation fences now aud just prior to the
| overflow.
AS no planter will undertake to
make crop without fence protection,
and as this law is working great hard
ships Just now il some few instances,
il should be repealed ut once.
The people are 80 poor. and this in
cludes whites MS well as coiored. that
to be deprived of milk is a great hard
ship, aud that would be the result just
now OF All attempted enforcement OF
this law. The most Of our citizens,
thanks 10 their kindness of heart and
the spirit of charity abroad in the land,
do not insist OH The enforcement OF
this law, aud this calls especial atten-
lion to other instances where the very
poorest people have been compelled to
pay entirely too much to get posses.
sion of their cows--and worse than
that, il is intimated that some have
worked this as new scheme for max
ing money. Let charity aud kindnes'
and forbearance prevail, and let thu
poor people keep their cows.
Ii seems to be the general opinion
that this very uncertain law should b
repealed by The Police Jury At its FIRE
session, as all crops will be harvested
! by that time. and then after matnr
4 deliberatiou. a fence law could be en-
J acted which would be much more &C
: : ceptab,e to the whole people.
