A "SstiouaI RoUuuet,"

Among the many suggestions concern
ing q national flower, one which comes
from Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that we
shall not attempt to settle upon aa-
t;onal flower, but let each state choose o
state flower, and have a national bou-
quet," composed Of all the state flowers.
Already certain Of the states have en-
bloms which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nosegav,
Massachusetts psople prefer the trail
lug arbutus fer an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as its state flower. The cedar sprig Of
Vermont and the pine branch Of Maine
would contriihhrr..tta tta Il needed tinge QT green
to the nosegay, while the oEas5o blossom
of Florida would lend its fragrance, and
the mountain laurel Of Alabaama would
esown il tesplendentlF,
The goldenrod and the aster would bo-
long to the first state which should for.
mally adopt them, and SO would the
graceful shooting star Of the central west
and the prairie rose. There are flowers
and trees enough to ''go around. "
A bouquet composed Of ell these state
flowers and tree branches woull grace
all formal occasions and would typify
the union of the states. 1t would say
"E pluribus unum" to the ordinary in
telli2ence more plainly than the Latin
motto does. Youths Companion.

the lamp Eook Of Asia.

On the shores Of Lake Rangkul, in
the Cashgar mountains, in central
Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock of
Asia, which is SO called from cave in
its side from which constant stream
of pale, greenish light is emitted. Ney
Elias, the English adventurer, who pass
eli it in 1885, thinks it possible that the
light is due to some phosphoresu6nt
mineral in the sides of the cavern near
it's opening, The natives Of that section
have never attempted to investigate the
matter, each seeming content with the
story told by his father, which is this:
"The cave is tho dwelling place of
demon, who guards vast treasures stored
there, and the light is from a diamond
worn in band around his forehead

a Distressing Picture.

real estate man in this town from South
Dakota farmer who had written that he
was going to sell out and come to Yak

how highly they are favored. 1t really
seems as though farmers had not white
states. They may work as hard and as

DISEASE GERMS IN MILK.
How They Nay BE Killed by Pasteurizins

How They Nay BE Killed by Pasteurizing
the Fluid.
Tho simplest way to pasteurize milk is
to place it first in clean bottles. Then
put the bottles into a large kettle or
other metal receptacle. Pour cold water
into the kettle until the water reaches
the level Of the milk in the bottles
Now close the mouth of each bottle
with plug of clean white cotton fiber
Heat the kettle and contents to 1855 de-
grees T. Then remove from tho fire and
cover the whole affair snugly with q
wooden cloth to keep from cooling ct
once. Leave half an hour. then take out
the bottles and keep them in running
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. the
object being to exclude air, dust and
germs. Be careful not to heat above l55
degrees, or the milk will not taste quite
right. In practice it will be found o
good idea to make easier the circulation
of the hot water by placing wire
kettle beneath the bottles.
Milk carefully treated by the above
process may he warranted free from
disease germs. and it will keep sweet
about "a hours Many 4 milkman could
get up fancy trade at advanced prices
on milk treated in this way. For ship
ping milk long distances none of the
methods. except by icing. has been yet

An ohio Road scheme.


A novel and extremely interesting
experiment is soon to be tried in Ohio.
1t is a new departure in road improve
ment, which is claimed by its author
to have points of marked superiority
over the building of macadamized
roads. The plan is to extend the cleo
trio railway tracks from cities and
towns into the surrounding country,
and to construct the roads in such a
way that they can be used for wagons
and carriages drawn by horses rs we'll
as by cars. OF course there will be a
great saving in horse power wherever
such roads are used, since far heavier
loads can be drawn on steel tracks
with the same force. In two counties
in Ohio trial will be made of this sys-
tenn the present year. 1t need hardly
be said that the result will be awaited
with much interest not only in Ohio.
but in other states. The question OF
road Improvement is filing q large
