Many people are surprised TO learn
that milk which is liquid has d larger
proportion of solid contents than have
many articles of food. Milk averages
IS per cent. of solid matter, Of which a
considerable part is albumen. 1t is this
which coagulates with heat, and still
more when rennetis used. Potatoes are
30 per cent. moisture, though when the
potato is cooked the starch in 1t ex-
pands, making it seem much heartier
food than it is. The solid of the potato
Is mainly starch. That of milk is di-
vided between caseine, butter fats and
sugar, the last of which is found in
whey, which, even though 1t be soured,
shows by that fact that 1t has had some
sugar in it.

Walter T was six years old. He
never had seen the ocean. We were
to spend the summer at the seaside
and Walter had new bathing suit.
Every boy in the block was invited
into the house to see him try 1t on, and
one day we discovered him in the bath
tub surrounded by an admiring group
of juveniles, to whom he was discourse
ing about how he would dive from the
end of the iron pier when he reached
the ocean. When the young man, how
ever, saw, the ocean with the great
waves rolling on the beach, he could
not be induced to go near it, and posi-
lively refused to put on his bathing
suit. One day his father offered him
80 cents If he would put on his suit
and get wet all over once. He wanted
the money very much, and he finally
consented. Clasping his arms around
his fathers neck like wise, the great
undertaking was begun. After much
shivering and trembling he was wet
about two inches above his ankles,
when he exclaimed: Papa! +

same hymns were sung, and the sermon that
the Rev. David I. kimball preached that
morning was preached by Rev. Edward Con-
stant. 1t was Il peculiarly interesting and
unique service. and, although the streets
and roads of the town were almost impas-
sahle-absoutely so in some places-the
house was filled.

on the day of the dedication, so years ago,
the following are now living Mrs. Hannah
Haskell, Mrs. Ella Newman. Mrs. Caroline
L. Hodgkins Miss Eunice StanwOod, Miss

""Ten or fifteen years ago." says a
business man quoted by the Phila-
delphia Record, "the canned meats
put up in square tins by American
houses were sold in great quantities
in Samoa. 1t was not long before
Australia and New Zealand packers
saw that they were missing u good
thing, so they sent out agents who
circulated o story among the natives
to the effect that cheap American
meats were composed in part OF human
flesh. They said that in the process
of preparing the bones of dead China
men for shipment to the Celestial EN-
pire from San Francisco the meat was
canned and labelled beef for Pacific
island consumption. The story gained
credonca to such an extent that the
natives summed the square tins and
could only DO induced TO buy the
round, fiat tins put out by Australian
and New Zealand houses. That pre-
iudice exists to-day to such an extent
that United States Consul Mulligan
has mentioned it in his report to the
State Department.

Nantucket Harbor Filling With
Sand-3OO,O Tons Sifted In.

NANTUCKET, Mass, Feb. 9-Unless the
Congress now in session acts promptly re-
garding the breach of the sea at Wauwinet
beach, the harbor Of Nantucket, upon which
the government has expended nearly half
million dollars, will either be entirely de-
stroyed or, at least, filled up so tina. none
except the lightest draught vessels can en-
ter. The cut in the beach which WAS made
by one of the heavy storms OF last month
was carefully examined by a government ex-
pert during the recent hurricanes, and
a report of the observations was sent to the
engineers at Washington.
The recent gale has widened the cut to
1.600 feet at high water and at least 800
feet at low water with minimum depth Of
six feet, and, while the northeaster was at
its height. it was impossible for any of the
fishermen to leave the harbor through the
cut.
Already there has washed into Wauwinet
harbor, at the southwestern angle, some
what over 200, 900 tons of sand, and at the
northwestern angle about 100, 900 tons, while
a stratum of line blue clay at the bottom
of the cut, the thickness of which is unde-
termined, is all that keeps the sea from
rushing clear to the wharves of the town.
Another northeaster will probably rip up
this bar.

1t is probable that General Azcarraga, the
Spanish minister of war, will be sent to Cuba
as Captain General Weyler's superior officer.
Azc irraga is considered one of the shrewd.
est diplomats and intriguers in all Europe.
He and Campos have been political enemies
for years, and the downfall of Campos was
brought about by the Vaccinations of his
enemy. 1t now seems probable that the
Cuban campaigner will yet have the pres
ent war minister's portfolio, in which
case Azcarraga may expect to be sent to
Cuba. Azcarraga. it is said, will not repeat
the atrocities of Weyler, but will begin oper-
ations by releasing all American prisoners.
Should he fail in his work, the vengeance Of
Campos would be complete. The ups and
downs of political life are many, especially
