There are many who desire q good
appetite for breakfast, and we are
afraid it is the minority who possess
it. 1t is to the latter, then, we
lhould like to offer a few sugges-
tons. For those who can control
their meal hours and who are not
obliged to retire so late az to make
late rising impeIativ attention to
two or three apparently triaing
things will almost invariably insure
a good breakfast appetite. Dc not
eat heartily very late in the even
ing. Rise half an hour or more be-.
fore the breakfast hour and drink a
glass of cold water. This helps to
dissolve and wash away the mucus,
and, by distending the stomach, pre-
pares it to receive food later on.
Engage, if possible, in some light
work in the few minutes before the
meal is ready. Observing these
simple things, you will find yourself
in Il condition to digest almost any
thing unless your system ia radical
ly out of gear.-New York Ledger.

Consumption IN Cattle Conveyed to
Man.

In the October number of the
Nineteenth Century is an interesting
article by James Long on consump-
ton in cattle, in which he discusses
the conditions under which tubercu-
losis or consumption may be con-
vcycd from cattle to man. 1t is well
understood, he says, that the cattle
disease known us tuberculosis is
identical with consumption in
man. The malady is caused by
the organism known as Koch's
bacillus, and is communicable
through the medium of this Or
ganism from animal to animal
and from animal to man. When
the bacilli establish themselves in
the body of cow or of human
being, the formation of nodular
growth or tubercles follows. 1t is
computed by the leading veterinar-
ians of England that 20 per cent of
the cattle in their country re.affected
with the disease, much higher pro-
portion being shown by milking
cows which are housed in thickly
populated places.
1t has generally been believed that
Koch's bacillus was present only in
milk drawn from an infected udder.
but MIR. Long asserts that there may
be tubercle in an apparently healthy
udder. Prof. Theobald Smith OF the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has expressed the opinion
that milk is free from tubercle ba-
cilli in the earlier stages of the dis
ease, if the udder is healthy, but he
adds that, in more advanced stages,
even though the uddcr be normal,
the milk may contain the germ. 1t
it is pointed out that if tuberculous
milk is mingled with milk free from
tuberclc, the bacilli are propagated
with great rapidity, and the whole
fluid soon becomes infected.

Library Administration.

One thing to be urged upon lib
rary officials and readers in every
town large or small, in our own
state and in every state, is to give
particular atten ton to the collection
and preservation of everything re-
lating to local history and local inter-
ests. The gathering of fragments
of carly and later history, as we'll as
the bringing together of whatever
may illustrate to the future genera
ton the events and character of our
own time and community, cannot
but prove, sooner or later, to have
been highly valuable work. The
local library, however small, can be
made the custodian of pamphlets,
broadsides, newspaper clippings
photographs, letters, etc., and may
enlist the active unpaid services oil
young and old in securing ample
material for the future local histor-
ian. There are numberless ways IN
which the local antiquarian and his
torian can do much not only to pre-
serve memorials and incidents of the
past, and of times that will soon be
of the past, but can also do not Il
little to stimulate the civic pride in
the rising generations. Let library
officials and the individual citizens
work earnestly together to preserve
all memorials of the locality where
they live, not doubling but that some-
time even the smallest item will
prove of use and value.

POOLING THE BIKE COPS.
1t Is the Ambition of All the New York
SCOrclcrs.

1t Is the Ambition of All the New York
ScOrchcrs.
There are few joys that bring
keener elatiop to the wheelmen and
wheelwomen than fooling Il bike
con. Since the policemen on whools
became recognized feature of tho
boulevard and the park drives the
ingenuity of Il certain class of bikers
has been taxed sorely deviSiny
schemes to beat them OF fool
'em. ;"
The man who looks uron any OFF,
Ger in uniform as his nat ural enemy
and who becomes belligerent ut tho
sight of brass buttons has invented
scheme of worrying a bike cop
which, while it is simple, must have
taken him a number of sleepless
nights to devise. Nothing will
arouse cop to action quicker than
lample>s biker scol ching up the
Boulevard after SHUTDOWN. The bel
ligeres,t biksr knows this, and SO he
has rugged UP shutter for his lamp.
1t is extremely simple and easily
worked. In the little groove be-
tween the wick and the bullscye
lens of the lamp he places small
card or piece of blackened paper
which completely shuts out any
light. To die top end of this he
fastens n small, thin wire, quite in
visible, and this lie strings through
the cover of his lamp and along his
handle bar. Then he lights his
lamp and staxts out to lay for the
cop.
"Stop and light your lamp!" is
the command of the first policeman
he meets, and it is the command he
has been looking for. He pays no
attention to it and scorches on his
way. Tie cop Is after him before
he has gone half block, and it is
never a question of more than three
blocks before he has caught him..
Didn't you hear me tell you to
light that lamp?' he pants.
"Of course / heard you, but can t
light it when it already lit, can | -
And then, just as tie bike cop is
preparing to cell him liar in Off
cial language, the jester pulls the
wire, and his lamp throws fierce
beam in The face of the cop. 1t is a
new game, and one that fools even
the Oldest and the foxicst of the
Boulevard finest.
The men who ride high gears,
anything about 70 or 72, have no
difficulty in violating the eight mile
an hour ordinance if they know the
trick. BY sitting UP straight man
with a study pair of legs has nc
difficulty at all in riding IL miles an
hour over the asphalt pavements.
There is HighbIidge bike com
muter who rides to and from his of.
flee every day, and while on the
bike thoroughfares he never makes
less than 10 miles an hour, and more
often is riding at the rate of 20
miles. He does 1t by sitting up
right and doing all the work with
his legs. When a cop is anywhere
within striking distance, the com
muter takes one hand from the bar
and, looking around leisurely as il
he were tourist, scorches past with
IMMUNITY and safety.-New York

For beauty knows no clan or cline

With sun tipped feet along the grass

And bloom wherc'cr the south winds 60,

To distant mountains in the skies,
And fair life angels come and so
Along the lofty paths of snow
And Lear to earth spring treasures
