IMPORTANT FOOD TESTS.

The official food analysis by the United

FATHERS DOMESTIC HgADsHlp.

No Outside Success Will Atone For Neg
ligence of His Home Responsibilities.
DR.. Charles H Parkhurst, D. D., in
Ladies' Home Journal writes concern
ing The Fathers Domestic Headship:"
While, perforce of ordinary circum-
stance, the fathers duties will hold
him considerably apart from the con-
facts Of home life, yet whatever success
es he may achieve outside will not atone
for any failure on his part to regard his
home as the prime sphere of his obliga-
tion and the point around which his de-
votements will cluster in distinguished
earnestness and constancy. Whatever
he may have achieved in his art, trade,
profession Or other engagement, the
man who stands at the head of house
hold has been in the broad sense of the
term failure if he has not been true
husband and wise, strong and devoted
father. 1t cannot be successful home
where the mother looks after the chill
dren and the father looks after his bust
ness. The most productive services rem
dered are always personal, and any
amount of exertion expended outside in
providing for the necessities of the home
will not take the place Of that tutional
ministry which comes only by the d.
rect and continuous contact of father
with child. However complete wom-
an may be as mother, there are quail
ties of character which the father will
communicate to his children that the
mother will be less able to do as well as
less intended to do.

"DlEo OF CHOLERA
The History of Eighteen Graves In the
Country Churchyerd at Sandy Hill.

The History of Eighteen Graves In the
Country Churchyerd at Sandy Hill.
In the old graveyard of the Sandy
Hill district, in the town of Dausville,
are IS graves, the time stained stones of
which, below the names and dates in
scribed thereon, bear tho words, Died
of Cholera. The time covered by the
dates is from Aug. "a to Sept. 8, 1884
la days. The settlement thereabout,
in 1884, was an isolated one among the
pines that then covered northern Steu-
ben county, and composed of not more
than threescore sou Is. The story Of how
it fell victim to tho scourge that carried
one-third of its population away is told
by an old resident.
Among the earliest settlers in the
Sandy Hill district was John Brazil, who
came with his wife and seven children in
1917 and began clearing up farm. He
was Pennsylvania German, eccentric,
but kindly and loyable. A physical Pc
culiarity of this pioneer was that his
teeth were all double, every enc of them
being sound when he died at the age Of
60 In 1884 great many Germans be-
gan settling in that part of Stenben
county. They came from New York up
the Hudson river to Albany, thence to
Buffalo by the Erie canal, and the rest
Of the way as they could.
In the summer Of 1884 five Germans
came to the Sandy Hill district, where
they had purchased land of agents and
~ R,.1il Dhar- l.ol
walked from Buffalo, where they had
left their families. In the kindness of
his heart Brazil sent teams to Buffalo to
fetch the latter in. He had vacant
loghouse on his farm. which he placed
at the disposal of the emigrants until
they could put up houses ON their land.
Mrs. Brazil helped some of the women
in washing clothes the day they arrived.
That evening she was taken violently
i'll and died III great agony the next day,
Aug. "a. Doctors had been summoned
from Dansville. They said Mrs. Brazil
had died Of cholera morbus. Some Of
her neighbors insisted that it was case
of malignant cholera and forbade q
public funeral Mrs Brazil was buried
Oh Thursday. On Saturday two of her
daughters were Frustrated with the dis
ease. One of them died the same night.
While her plain hemlock coffin was be-
ing made a brother was seized with the
malady and shut himself in the barn,
where he died while his sisters body
was being taken to the graveyard. One
by one the emigrants fell victims TO the
disease. A Mrs. Kerch and her children
died within three days. Between that
time and Sept. 80 eight others fell VIC
Tins to the plague. All were buried,
after the funeral of Mrs Brazil, with tho
clothes they wore or wrapped in the
bedding on which they died. 1t was
afterward learned that on the way from
Albany to Buffalo sister of Mrs. Kerch

An Arctic Rhinoceros.

A gigantic specimen of the arctic
rhinoceros has lately been discovered
frozen up in an iceberg which stranded at
the Lena delta. This specimen was seven
feet taller than the largest variety of the
rhinoceros of today and was armed
with two nose horns, the shortest of
which was feet 2 inches in length.
The animal doubtless belonged to an
antediluvian species of rhinoceros, and
his immense size gives some idea Of the
enormous and terrible beasts which in
habited this planet in the days when
the earth was Young. The creatures
body was entirely covered with very
long, thick hair, which proves that the
arctic regions were his natural habitat.
