HOW MILK IS ANALYZED.
4 Process That Is Neither Difficult Nc Complicated.

4 Process That Is Neither Difficult Nor Complicated.
 ' The chemical analysis of milk is not complicated nor difficult. First the chemist weighs a small dish, cup or saucer, and carefully notes down the result in ounces, grains and fractions of grains. Next he pours in some milk to be analysed and again carefully notes down the result. By subtracting the weight of the, dish from that of both the weight of the milk is found and recorded. Next, the receptacle is placed over steam jet, which evGpo- rates the water of the milk, leaving only the residue or solids" Again the dish and its contents are weighed, and by simple calculation the percentage of solids is found.
 The solids" of the milk has been found by innumerable analyses to aver age about 13 per cent, and, while the fat varies in milk from different cows, the solids left after extracting the fat is found to be very constant quantity, seldom falling below 10 per cent. or over 14. This gives the chemist posi- tive basis for his calculations and en- ables him to state with great certainty whether or not the milk has been wa tered.
 The fat or oil in milk is determined by dissolving it by means of ether, the .'esidue remaining after such test being ermed ''solids other than fat" The av- .rage fat or oil found in milk from cows is per cent. md any amount less :han per cent. indicates almost to q ccrtainty that the milk has been skinned. If analysis shows decrease of fat, it indicates that the milk has teen watered, while if fats and other solids together are low you may infer that the skinner has done its work.

A JAPANESE kumANcr.
The Love Story of Count Ito. Told by Sir
 Id.sIa Arnold.

The Love Story of Count Ito, Told by NIT
 Ed.gla Arnold.
 Of Count Ito. the distinguished Jap anese statesman, Sir Edwin Arnold gives us this interesting incident: Il sat at the table with the cx-prenlier md his wife and children. The countess, quiet, gentle. n-otleriy aid wearing s2ectacles, carving the tai aul the kasno with such matronly se~cE-- / had yet history o5 romance and de votion which could tnaxc the widest 6ctionist's fortune.
 Long ago, in those dark and bloody days when the minister WAS her lover and fugitive from his enersies, there came a tire when they had tracked him to her house and lad chosen band Of Soshis to assassinatc him. The noise Of their clogs and the rattling of their scabbards were heard and tic count, trapped like . stag in his mountain plcasancc, drew his Bizen blade and prepared to die, as Jap anese lord should, amid circle of foes. But while he nur,nurcd 'Saganorer and knitted his fingers around the shark skin hilt of his sword that brave lady whose guest l was whispered: Do not die; there is hope still upon which she removed the hibachi, or frcbox, over which they were sitting, and, lifting up the mat ting and blanks beneath, induced her lover to conceal himself in the hollow space which ex .sts 1ndcr the floor of I'll Japanese lo.nes. The murderers broke into the room, ferocious band, just as the Grebox had been replaced and the countcss had assumed 2 posi- tion of nonchalance.
 "They demanded their victim and when she protested against their in- trusion and bade them search if they wanted Ito, the wretches dragged her around tie apartment by her long, beautiful black hair-now touched with silver-and gricvously maltreatcd her, but could not shake her resolutc fideli- ty. Thanks to this Count Ito, the hero of many another strange adventure, escaped from the chief peril of his career and has lived to give his country a new constitution and to be one of the foremost and best respected states men of modern Japan"

A WILDWOOD SCHOOL.
How a Raccoon Mother Gave Her Young
 Ones Q Lesson il Crawiish Catching.

How a Raccoon Mother Gave Her Young
 Ones Q Lesson in Crawiish Catching.
 A correspondent of the Chicago News describes wildwood scene which he aptly terms the counterpart of boys school. He was one day sitting quietly on d log near creek, when there came pacing down Q little path an old mother raccoon with five young ones. The little fellows were about as large as half-grown cats, and no kittens were ever more intent on mischief. The mother had apparently brought them to the water to teach them to catch crawfish
 She first got her family in line at the waters edge; then she pcrched herself upon {. rock and gravcly reached down into hole and brought up crawfish. While she was washing it Q little coon broke ranks, dartcd forward and seized the prey from beneath his mothers nose.
 This started a row, and all the little fellows were badly mixed, while the old one was administering bites and cuffs indiscrilninately among the scholars. She finally succeeded in restoring order, and then sent one of the little coons to try his luck in another hole.
 Here the fun began in earnest, and all the lnischicvous boys that ever made a teachers heart ache were angels of goodness when compared with these little coons. They pinched each oth- cr's tails, nipped each others ears, bit each others legs, and worried the old coon until she turned to and gave them a general cutting all around.
 It seemed to me that each little coon knew his lesson perfectly, and was de- termined to get all the fun possible, for when the mother coon became so angry that she made her bites felt, the little fellows caught, washed and ate their crawfsh with all the ability of veterans.
 The comically grave faces of the little fellows as they reached down into the crawfish holes and groped about for the fish were too much for my disabilities, and 1 gave such a hearty laugh that the school was instantly dismissed.

BLUE RAYS KILL GERMS.
It Is Shown That the Upper End of the Suns Spectrum Does tho Slaushtering.

It Is Shown That the Upper End of the
 Suns Spectrum Does tho slaushtering.
 Although investigation has not been idle, eXperimcntcrs have not been wholly agreed as to the exact property or field of the suns rays which is most efficient in action on bacteria and fungi, says Popular Science Monthly.
 The inquiry has been continued by Prof H. Marshall Ward, to whom the thought occurred in the course of his work that the most direct answer to the question: (Which rays are the most effective oncs?" might be best attained by shining the solar spectrum directly upon the film of spores and making it record the effects by their subsequent behavior, according as the different groups of rays fell upon them-in other words, by obtaining a photograph of the spectrum in living and dead bac- teria.
 The results showed exclusively that the rays that kill the bacteria are the blue and violet ones. An observation was made during the investigation which may go far to account for the unsatisfactory character of the deter minations of former experiments.
 The chief difficulty to be overcome was the great weakening of the in- tensity of the dispersed rays of the beam of light decomposed to form the spectrum-a weakening caused by the distribution of the incidence of the rays over a larger area and by their ab- sorption and reflection in passing through the lenses and prisms.
 It was found, also, in working with the electric light, that the power of the blue and violet rays was further im- paired-in other words, that they were stopped-by the material (glass) through which they had to pass.
 The effect of the glass was practical ly the same Gs that of mist or haze in the atmosphere, which so filters out the blue-violet rays that the light of Q dull day was of little effect in the authors experiments.
 These difficulties were overcome by using quartz instead of glass, with which it was possible to obtain very pure spectrum sufficiently rich ia Glae and violet rays to lz;,l the spores ia a few hours. The euthar found it easy to obtain satisfactory results in the summer with solar rays, even with glass lenses, mirrors, etc., and cx- posures of five or Gi-; hoCrs, but in win ter the exposures required to be so long as to be almost ic2practicable.

 Snag Finnerty was a lad with phil osophicaI mind and a broken tooth, saws the New York World. It was this "brsted toot.~ as he called it, that gave him this pretty little pet name of "Snag.7
 T,.ey were standing on a corner one day when hot->aIaale nan passed. ''I wonder" said Sncg, whatever made 'era call dem tings tomales?" Don't you lSnow?- asked Mickey.

Gull had der price, so he gets gay and says come on and drags her intcra rcsterant and sits her down ter table. Up cones der waiter and says: What q dyousc vant?" Der gals name was Mollie and she says she wants CT nice hot sausagc an CT cup CT coffee. Gull says he wants 2 cold sausage and CT bottle of beer. Der mug wants to git dat order straight, 50 he says: sJist say that agin.' So Gull says: Der hot ter Mollie and der cold ter Gully, seen Well he goes away saying to hisself: Hot ter Mollie, cold ter Gully so at hell git it right. When he comes back with it he says: Here's yer hot ter Mol lie.'"
