that at the end of six months he de-

The old man was glad to see him and

how he liked his place and how he was

road with SO intense an interest that

preached. Certainly it was remarkable.

Milk and Germs.

DIR. Z. A. De Schweinitz, in his lecture
on The War With the Microbes, 3" says:
when milk and cream are first collect
ed, they are almost free from germs, but
exposed to the air they soon become filed
with those forms of life, which are perfectly
harmless. If placed under suitable con-
ditions with regard to temperature, they
will multiply very readily and the milk
becomes sour, due to the formation of lac
tic acid produced from the sugar in the
milk by one or more of these germs If
the germs present happen to be those Civ
Ing an ether and ester which have pleas
ant flavor and aroma, good butter results.
But If they give rise to the formation of
disagreeable THO others and esters or some
amines the butter is poor and bad.
"Now, by isolating different germs
found inthe milk, and cultiyating them
separately SO as to discover their own pecul-
lar product, it is possible to always make
butter of the same sort and flavor by first
destroying theother germs present by pas
teurlzationsand Misunderstanding the cream
with the particular germ desired. A num-
Der of germs have been isolated from milk
which will produce good butter, and any
one OF them is perhaps as good as the 9TH
er, the ethereal product being slightly diff
ferent and more palatable to different in
ulV1duals. OF course great many germs
have been found which produce disagree
able compounds, and it is not possible to
tell from their appearance simply which
is desirable plant But it is easy.to cul-
tivate themiin milk and note the results
and select the desirable plant cell. New

The Bullet that Killed jackson.

The bullet which, it was claimed !,
was the direct cause of Stonewa!l
Jackson's death, is now in posses
sion of l. B. Wheeler, of Highland
Falls, N. Y. Wheeler has docu-
mcn's which clearly prove the au-
thenticity of his claim.
Wheeler's cousin was on Jack
sons staff. Early on the morning
of May LIST, 1868, Jackson's division,
in accordance with the decision of q
council Of war, moved toward Chan
cellorsville. Lee had yielded to
Jackson's advice to flank the Union
forces. The stratagem was q COM
plete success, and Sickles' column
went to pieces under the terrific en-
slaugbt of $4,000 graycoats. 1t
was while accommodating in the
darkness that evening that Jackson s
own men, installing their leader
and staff for Union calvary, poured
a shower of bullets into their midst,
and although several pierced the in
trepid leader, it was the one in Mr..
Wheeler's possession that made the
fatal wound.
The surgeon wEo Gmputated Jack
son S arm threw the bullet against
and Wheeler's cousin picked it up
and carried it through the war. The
former Confederate died long after
the war, and Wheeler while GO
ing through his effects recently,
found the bullet and its history.

The indignant man stormed, raved
and finally challenged The correct

The imperturbable lady smiled.
The following afternoon, two min

presented himself, and calmly asked !:

MUSCULAR cRAMP.



Muscular cramp, muscular exhaustion,
or myalgia, as it is variously called in
common and medical parlance, is often
COMPOUNDED with neuralgia and rheuma-
tism. There are undoubtedly many In
stances of muscular cramp in which one
or the other of the last named conditions
Is present. But in these cases the exhaus-
ton depends upon the existing neuralgia
or rheumatic condition and disappears
under treatment of the original trouble
Myalgia-the word is derived from the
Greek, and means muscular pain-arises
from exhaustion of the substance of the
muscle. This loss of vitality is in most
cases the result of subjecting the muscle to
excessive or long continued activity under
favorable conditions.
The amount of vitality which a muscle
consumes when in action is, of course,
proportionate to the amount of work re-
CURED of it, and under normal conditions
the supply furnished by the blood is suffi-
Gent for the need. Under adverse condi-
tions, however, there is no opportunity
offered for the complete recovery of the
muscle from its labors, and strain is the
result. The muscle feels lame and sore,
and not infrequently one can almost i'm
agine that in some way it has become tied
into knots
Myalgia may attack any muscle, though
there'are certain ones which, by reason of
their location, are endangered more than
others. Seamstresses arc very liable to
have cramp in the muscles of the shoulder
on account of the steady application and
confinement necessitated by the nature of
their occupation.
A favorite seat for myalgia, as most of
US can testify from painful experience, is
in the calves of the legs. The pain is espe-
cially severe on lying down at night, and
may be so great as even to draw up the
limbs.
Massage offers the only certain relief
from myalgia. The rubbing should be
brisk to insure an abundant circulation of
blood to the distressed muscles, and for
this reason also it should be in the direc-
ton of the vessels through which the
blood flows
Liniments of various kinds may be
tried, or, what is better, the external appli-
cation of alcohol may be resorted to-
Cloths wrung out of hot water, with a
teaspoonful or SO of laudanum sprinkled
on them, and placed directly over the ach-
ing muscles, are useful to ease the pain.
When the trouble is in the muscles of
the leg, hot footballs may be employed to
restore the circulation in the limbs and to
draw OUT the pain. The observation of
general hygienic measures should not be
forgotten where there is tendency to
muscular cramp.-Youth's Companion.

Wouldn't Imperil Sinless Life by Power
of Attorney.
II have run across curious people Of
many sorts,' said the observant Jersey
man the other day, but l had an expert
ence with person recently who seemed to
me the strangest Of all. l was engaged in
settling up an estate in which there was
likely to be litigation, and had conclud-
ed to get powers of attorney from as many
of the heirs at law as possible in order to
save expense and expedite matters. came
to New York to see one of the heirs and
found him a grave and able business
man. When L explained the situation, he
readily agreed that the course l intended
to pursue was the best, and promised to
assist me in it,
Then, said 1, 4 suppose you will sign
this power of attorney and l laid the pa
per before him. No, he answered decid-
eddy. And why not?
Upon religious grounds, he said.
For many years have been endeavoring
to live life that should be free from NOR
tai sin, and so far believe have escaped
any act that is beyond forgiveness. But l
could not think Of putting my name to
paper which authorized any one to act in
my name for fear that the person might
do some act which my conscience could
not approve, and which, being done in my
name, would everlastingly condemn me.

A Ghost Story.

The truth of the following story
is vouched for by London paper:
A young lady arrived late at
night on a visit to friend. She
awoke in the darkness to find a
white figure at the foot OF her bed.
Vale she watched, the bed clothes
were suddenly jerked off and the ap-
partition vanished.
After an anxious, not 10 say chill
ly night, the visitor went down to
breakfast. AT the table she was in
PRODUCED to a gentleman. very old
friend Of the family, who had, she
learned, also been sleeping in the
house. He complained Of the cold.
Il hope you will excuse me-" he
said to the hostess, "but | found it
50 cold during the night that, know
ing the room next TO mine was un-
occupied, took the liberty of going
in and carrying of the bed clothes
to supplement my own"
The room, as it happened, was
not unoccupied, but he never learp-
ed his mistake.

for the error which has necessitated
the calling of a special session of the
legislature has been located. 1t falls
upon Miss Margaret Williams, a stem

state house offices. She wrote the word
provided" instead of prohibited" in
the proposed anti-gambling constitu-
tional amendment in the bill providing
for special election next September,
at which the people were to vote on
the question. Miss Williams is much

Liberal Victory in Canada.

Montreal, May 12.-The Quebec pro-
vincial elections took place yesterday,
and resulted in the complete overthrow
of the Conservative party. In the last
Legislature the parties stood: Con-
servatives, so; Liberals, &c. These fig
ures have been reversed as a result of
yesterdays election, the Liberals hav-
ing elected so members, with a prob
ability of SO, and the Conservatives
about 20. Among the prominent Con-
servatives defeated are G. A. Nantel,
commissioner of public works, and
Louis Beaubien, commissioner of agri-
culture. The Liberals fought hard for
power telling the voters that a victory
for their party in Quebec would
strengthen the hands of the French
Canadian premier, Wilfred Laurier.
