DISEASED MILK.
DIR. Price Working to Prevent Its
Sale.

DR.. Price, assistant health inspector,
is anxious to secure the passage OF a
= law forbidding the sale of milk from
diseased cattle. He sets forth that, in
the best regulated diaries, at least 5
per cent Of the cattle are diseased; in
the worst, even SS per cent. AS the re-
suit Of impure milk, so per cent of all
children fed on the bottle die before
their fifth year, and 20 per cent OF all
the people born. in large cities die dur
ing the nursing period. Experiments
will be made soon, at the state expert
mental farm, to verify the extent to
which tuberculosis prevails among cat
tie well-fed and well cared for.

Extravagance In slippers.

A fashionable shoemaker of Paris
mentioned the other day what amount
might be spent upon pair of slippers.
He said several ladies of the aristocra-
cy were rather extravagant in the mat
ter of their footwear. and gave two
striking examples. Not long ago a
countess whose name is on everybody's
lips had pair of ball slippers made,
which were covered with embroidery
in gold and set with rubies, emeralds
and . diamonds The slippers were
charming, but they cost 200. An
other lady, widowed countess, who
lives in London, and was invited to a
bal masque at the duke of Manches-
ter's, appeared there as Cinderella in a
somber and unassuming garb, but her
slippers were covered entirely with
diamonds worth about 100000. The
bill for the setting and the make of the
slippers amounted alone to $780,

Williard's parents were among the
pioneers of the great northwest, and
brought up their daughter with very
strict, not to say narrow, views as to
the use of liquor and tobacco. Miss
Willard prepared herself for teaching,
and while pursuing her studies met a
young man who was studying for the
ministry and who gave promise of at
tanning great prominence in his chosen
calling. Their common love of study
attracted them to each other, and the
young man felt that in Miss Willard he
had found the one woman who, as his
wife, would help him upward and
would gracefully share the honorsN of
the lofty position at which he was
aiming. Nor was Miss Wizards heart
untouched, and the young mans
matrimonial hopes might have been
realized but for the discovery that he
was addicted to the use of tobacco, says
the New York, World. She very
promptly told him he could choose be-
tween tobacco and herself, and to all
his pleadings opposed the one cry:
''If you love tobacco more than you
do me find some other woman who will
tolerate such a habit"
At length he ceased to urge her, and
they went their separate ways, she to
remain single and become president of
the National Wonrarfs Christian Tenn
perance union, and one of the best
parliamentarians in the United States,
and he to marry some one else and be-
come one of the most prominent
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church

At the graduating exercises young
Bismarck scored hit with his bella

Reasons why Europe exerts pre-
dominating influence in the world. :"
Both of these treatises are written with
that keen, intuitive appreciation of
facts and of those imponderable ele-
ments which the man, later on, knew
how to weigh and value so well. In
arrangement, treatment and style, too,
they betray that limpid logic for which
his diplomatic notes were so famous.
On leaving this school young Bis
rnarck received the following report:

Bismarck participated in the instruc-
ton in English while at this school,
and with eminently good results, as
his friend Motley in later years had
occasion to observe. Among the studies
in which he was verbally examined
during the concluding examination he
distinguished himself by his transla-
tions from Tacitus, and to the ques-
tions put by Prof. Hemsius Gin philoso-

proficient pupils in his class. OF the
