The old country circus my boyhood days

In these days of three rings, of hippodrornes,

How fond recollection presents thee to viewl
For weeks, while the posters on fences and
church sheds
Portrayed TO roy young eyes the scenes that
should be,
No soft thrill of love. no throb of ambition,
Has since coualed the bliss l gained cream.

An Old Catch.

There is an old catch, so old that it is
doubtful If the boys and girls of today
have heard it, and it is better than
guessing the height of a man 8 silk hat,
which often causes so much amusement
at evening parties. 1t is thus: A man
went to blacksmith and asked him to
shoe horse. He agreed to do so if he
was paid cent for the first nail, for
the second, for the third, and SO on,
doubling the amount each time. How
much did the man have to pay? There
are 80 nails, so take a pencil and figure
it out. If you haven't heard the prob
lem, the answer will surprise you.

DISEASE GERMS IN MILK.
How They Mny Ee Killed by Pasteurizine
the Fluid,


The simplest way to pasteurize milk is
to place it first in clean bottles. Then
put the bottles into a largo kettle or
other metal receptacle. Pour cold water
into the kettle until the water reaches
tho level OF the milk in the bottles.
Now close the mouth Of each bottlo
with q plug of clean white cotton fiber.
Heat the kettle a.d contents to 1856 de-
grces r. Then remove from the fire and
cover tho whole affair snugly with a
woolen cloth to keep from cooling at
once. Leave half an hour, then take out
the bottles and keep them in runningI
water or in any cool place, leaving them
still stopped with the plug Of cotton.
The flexible wooden shoppers used
with some kinds Of patent glass jars
would answer in place Of cotton, thi
object being TO exclude air, dust and
germs. Be careful not to heat above 15t
degrees or the milk will not taste quite
right. In practice it will be found =
good idea to make easier the circulation
Of the hot water by placing a wire
frame an inch Or two i'll height in the
kettle beneath the bottles
Milk carefully treated by the above
process may be warranted free from
disease germs, and it will keep sweet
