THE MILK WILL NOT BOIL OVER.

Philadelphia Record. 1t is = simply
constructed rim. which must tightly fit
the pot in which the milk is to be
boiled. Upon the inside Of it is another
rim in which holes are cut even dis
tances apart. This pot needs no watch
ing. and if it does boil over no harm can
be done. as the overflow returns to the
pot through the small holes provided in
the rim sufficiently cooled off to pre-
vent it from boiling over any more. A
benefit Of this system is that milk can
be kept boiling for long time, and
thereby sterilized milk. forming nu.
tritious and healthy food for abies, can
be obtained.

STARVING TO DEATH.

Fer the First Few Days the Suffering 10
Said to he Intense.
For the first two days through which
. strong and healthy man Is doomed to
exist upon nothing his sufferings are
perhaps more acute than in the remain
ing stages: he feels an inordinate. un-
spcakablc craving at the stomach night
and day. The mind runs upon beef,
bread and other substances, but still,
in q great measure. the body retains it's
strength. On the third and fourth
days, but especially on the fourth, this
incessant craving gives place to sink
ing and weakness Of the stomach. &C.

sufferer still desires food. but with .
loss of strength he loses that eager
craving which he felt in the earlier
stages. Should he chance to get NOR
sci of food he swallows il with woltish
avidity, but ave minutes afterward his
sufferings are more intense than ever.
He feels rs IL he had swallowed liv-
ing lobster. which IS elawing and feed

existence.
On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly
appear hollow and sunken, his body
attenuated. his color is ashy pale and
his eyes wild, CLASSY and cannibalistic.
The different parts Of the system now
war with each other. The stomach
calls upon the legs to go with it in quest
OF food: the legs. from weakness, re-
fuse. The sixth day brings with 1t IN
tense suffering, although the pangs Of
hunger are lost in an OverpOwcring
languor and sickness. The head be-
comes dizzy; the ghosts Of well-remem-
bcred dinners pass in hideous process
sion through the mind. The seventh
day comes, bringing increasing LASH
tude and further prostration OF
strength. The arms hang listlessly;
the legs drag heavily. The desire for
food is still left to a degree, but it must
be brought, not sought. The misera BILE

snfferer is burden almost too grievous
