PRESERVING MILK,

If milk is heated to the boiling point
it kills all ferments which it may con-
tain or which may have been absorbed
from the air, and if then it is excluded
perfectly from the air it will keep
sweet and sound for an indefinite
length of time. 1t is only necessary
to heat it and seal it up while hot to
have it keep just as well as berries and
fruit do that are soft and perishable,
and for precisely the same reasons,
viz: killing with heat the ferments,
which consist of living organic germs
that either exist in the fruit or milk,
or are taken into them from the air,
and by sealing to prevent the intro
duction of any new germ by absorp-
ton. The contact of air even does
not ipjure or prevent milk from keep
ing, provided the air is pure and free
from any infectious agency. Pure air
is rather a benefit than an injury to
milk. Experiments by German chem
lists have demonstrated that milk, af-
ter heating to PIP degrees, may be
kept in contact with the air and re-
main sound any length Of time, pro-
vided, only, that the air admitted to it
shall have passed through some alb
sorbent or filter that will keep back
any and every infectious germ it may
contain.
These facts have long been known
to scientists, and it seems strange that
while they have found very general
application in the case of soft, pulpy
fruits, they should find so little appli-
cation in the preservation of milk.
Only now and then a man, scattered
here and there over the country just
often enough to demonstrate its practi-
cability, can be found who has rem
dered the easy way Of preserving milk
available. 1t should be more general
ly understood that milk can be pre-
served just as well as pulpy fruit if
treated in the same way. There is
no good reason why the delicious milk
of June, or the rich milk of September
and October could not be put up for
the winters use, to extend that luxury
through all the year.

SHE GOT HER POSITION.

The session of the legislature in
every State brings to the capitol ret
inue of applicants for every position
from clerk of the senate to assistant
fireman. This year there has been an
unusually large number of people out
of work. In one of the States, where
the number Of employees for the 60
days session has been limited by law
200, there was no less than $500
needy applicants.
The day before the opening Of the
session shy girl knocked at the door
of the attorney generals office.
SIS the attorney general in ?" she
asked timidly.
Yes" said the clerk. "He will see
you when he gets through this long
line of job hunters. Just have seat"
In the numerous chairs, on the Office
lounge and standing were 20 or more
waiting for turn to press some claim
for position.
The attorney general was rather a
gruff looking man, and he dismissed
each with the remark : II can't do
anything for you. Sorry, you know,
but there are hundreds of applicants,
and each officer, every legislator, has a
dozen begging for each position"
When the timid girls turn came, she
handed the impatient looking officer a
letter. She said nothing she hardly
looked into his face.
"I'm sorry, Miss c., that can do
nothing for you. 1t was foolish for
you to come here expecting to get
work. I'd be glad to help you if I
could; but, you see, it's this way-I
have no influence to get you aposition.
am very"
I'VE were speaking of that at home,
but I thought it would do harm to see
you," she interrupted. "And we were
saying what pity it was that you
had lost your influence"
The State official WINGED. He look
ed as if something hurt him.
Brown" he said, turning to his
deputy with unnecessary abruptness.

in the enrolling department. See that
there is place for her if you have to

\ SLIP OF THE PEN.-Mrs. s., a
widow Of two years standing, drew a
a check for $50. Presenting it for
payment, she observed an amused ex-
preston on the face ofthe paying teller
but she received her money and de-
parted. A month later her book was
written up and her vouchers returned.
and the amused expression on the face
of the paying teller was explained.
Her check of month previous read ::
THE Blank National Bank will pay
to Bearer One Husband and Fifty Dol

The lady is thinking of suing the
bank for the balance due, for, as she
says, she certainly has not collected all
that the check called for.-Boston

GCYING THE GUYER.

There was once a Harvard student
that had a sister at Bryn Mawr, the
girls college, near Philadelphia. The
young man was unwise; he wrote her
letters, poking fun at the college, and
she read them to her classmates.
They determined to inflict punishment
by 'iguying" him, method of tortur-
ing in which girls are experts. A Chi
cago paper describes the subsequent
proceedings:
The sister, who was one of the con-
spirators, invited her brother to visit
the college. He came, sent IN his
card, and was ushered into large re-
ception room, where he waited tor
half an hour, during which time Il
girls came in and looked at him.
They came in pairs.
A pair would turn the corner of the
room, and on seeing him, start and say
"Oh !' in a surprised way, after which
thew would look him over very care
fully and say "Ohn ~ again but in so
queer a tone that the Harvard man
found himself wishing that he hadn't
come.
This ordeal being over, his sister
came in and took him to her sitting
room.
"I've invited some of the girls to
meet you," said she. eff any of them
should come in while I am gone, you
entertain them. I'm going over to
Denbigh for minute"
Scarcely had she left the room when
dozen girls came trooping in. The
Harvard man arose but they took no
notice of him at first. After distribu-
ting themselves picturesquely in
groups, they fastened their eyes on
him, and one of them began:
"Rather nice-looking fellow, isn't
hep"
eyes" said another, rather, but his
nose is too big. He doesn't look bit
like Edna"
"Poor fellow! Isn't it too bad that
he's so deaf ?"
"Oh, well, it serves to make him
quiet. Most Harvard men talk too
much"
"Freshman, isn't hep"
81 believe so. He looks young"
During this conversation the SUBJ ject
of it turned more colors than prism
exhibits. Presently one of the girls
marched up to him and yelled in
stertorian tones, "How do you like
Bryn Mawr?"
"B-b-b-beg your pardon" suffered
the visitor, finding his voice. "lt's a
m-mistake you know. I'm not deaf.
You've got the wrong man. 1 can
hear perfectly we'll, really"
"We are delighted to hear :" pro-
claimed the girls, in measured chorus.
Then they all came forward and shook
hands with the youth, solemnly con-
graduating him on his excellent
hearing; but his face was too much
- them, and the continuation of the
farce was spoiled by gale of laughter,
in which the victim finally joined.
Thereafter in his letters to his sister,
he never again referred to Bryn Mawr
as lighthouse for the forcing of in
cipient blue-stockings."
