usual silver argument that the silver in

that the free coinage Of silver would cure the
financial Ills that now beset the nation. AL

Hong Kong advices from Manila say that
the prospects are for long and disastrous
struggle. since it would require an army Of
thirty Thousand men to etfectually crush the
insurgents and these cannot be spared by
Spain. All that governor Blanco has done
so far has been to restore order in and about
Manila and to hold rebels in check at Cavite
until reintorcements arrive The arsenal
and ship slip Of Cavite are said to be in the
hands of lovalsts.

nation OF the Boston milk supply made
by w. f. Sedgwick and John |. Batch
elder, Jr. showed among other
things that the everage number of bac-
terra found IN ffty-seyen samples of
Boston milk as delivered IL the wagons,
in the spring of 1890, was 1855, 500
per cubic centirmeter, roughly equal
to small thimblefuI. In sixteen
samples obtained from groceries,
where older milk is usually

average number Of bacteria was 4, ,577,.

cleanuess and staleness, IN short, were
responsible for the extraordinary
abundance of bacteria IN Boston
milk, the former supplying the
seeds of decomposition, the latter
the time for their develop
ment A fluid widely different from
normal cows milk was thus produced,
which, while it might be drunk by
healthy adults with lmpunity, was Sc
riously injurious to invaids and in
iants. 1t was thus shown that, while
our public milk supplies might not be
legally watered, they might be, and
in fact often were, stale, polluted and
injected.
The discussion of the subject in Bos-
ton attracted attention elsewhere, and
in November, 1892, the Philadelphia
board of health requested the port
physician to prepare a report on the
relation of the annual mortality of the
city to the general milk supply, and to
say whether in his opinion any con-
/ siderable number of deaths we're at
tributable to the consumption of adul-
I terated or impure milk. DR.. Shake
spesre replied by showing that out Of
/ Is, 900 living children born in three
years 16, 900 died before completing
their first year, that the chief cause of
this high rate was diseases of the
digestive organs and that these pre-
vailed among infants pretty much in
the proportion in which milk fed by
hand constituted their food. The
causative factor of these diseases was
bacteria, and as these are most rapidly
propagated in summer, it is at that
season that infant mortality is highest
During the preceding year 81 percent
of all the deaths among children un-
der five years of age were due to dis
eases which may be conveyed by the
noxious elements in the chief constitu-
ent of their food. A very close causal
WAS thus established between the faulty
milk of Philadelphia and such diseases

The individual communion cup idea
which has been agitating the members
of the New Old South church since the
first of the year, is subject of the
comprehensive committee report
which has just been issued in printed
form, and will be considered at an
adjourned meeting of the church
to be held this month. The
movement originated at the annual
meeting of the church, Jan. IA, at
which time the matter was fully dis
cussed before being tabled. 1t was
laid over till the fall because the dis
cussiou demonstrated the fact that
comparatively little positive data in
regard to the advantages of and OBJ
jections to the doing away of the an
cient loving cup were at hand, and as
it was apparent that the members were
about equally divided, it WAS voted to
appoint committee to gather infor-
nation upon which to base recon-
mendation either for or against the
adoption of the Individual service.
