1t is a terrible thought, nevertheless
a true one, that IL the cows milk fed tC
babies were only clean, thousands and
thousands of little lives would be spared
each year. But the milk, in the major
ity of cases. is not clean. To this fact
is largely due the enormous death rate
among children thus artificially fed
The uncleanness begins with the proc
ess of milking and continues until the
milk is swallowed as food. Is it not
strange that such simple lesson OF
cleanliness cannot be learned? How
many of those who do the milking take
the trouble to thoroughly cleanse the
hands before engaging in that process
How often is the udder of the COW care
fully washed before milking? To both
these questions the answer could be
truthfuliy given: VERY rarely in.
deed Yet these cleansing processes
should be rigidly insisted upon. Germs
cannat be removed from a liquid by

how fine its meshes may be-. Indeed
the question should not be how to get
the germs out, but rather how to keep
them from getting Unframed Moth.

Although the culinary has in the last
20 years made rapid strides, there is a
certain sameness about dinner-parties
which, to the habitual tliner-out, comes

lady In kcnsington originated the idea
of giving every year a memorial dinner
on the anniversary of her husbands
death. The dining~room was drapct for
tho occasion in mauve and Back.
The tablecioth was OF mauve silk, and
the only decorations used were vio.ets.
The ladies were gowned either in black
or mauve. and the footmen were
dressed in black hreeches and coats
and mauve silk stockings, On either
side of the hostess sat two black
poodles, exceilen,ly clipped after the
approved French fashion, with mauvc
colorcd bows on their neeks. The
menu was remarkable for the absence
of any color in the yisnds, save mauve,
the rest being either black or white.

The political sensation of the week is
the announcement that Judge Morton

that IL was formed by few pure

nous amount of lumber this is. Why.
il would build house around the globe
with main room ten feet high and a
large attic. ceiling up the inside walls
and roof with sweet, fragrant pine:
it would put down a matched floor;
and then. when the house was all COM
pleted. there would be left enough lum-
ber to build tight board fences on
either side of the house, 3k feet high.

Besides all this. there would be shingles
enough for good portion of the house:

This enormous quantity of lumber
represents merely the output of two
forests-one in the northwestern part
of the state of Wisconsin. and the other
in the northern part of the state of Min

lack Of work that brings the most mis-
cry to the people. it is the fact that few
people when prosperous have any
thought whatever OF the future.
Strikes as rule are made by men re-
ceiving from three to five dollars per
day for wages, and their families suffer
because the weeks wages have been
squandered before Saturday night.
Teach a school boy that however small
his income is that he should save at
least small portion oft for "rainy
day" and you win raise up man who
will succeed in business, while the
young man ut twenty five who has
lived up all his substance will at sixty
be laboring for his daily bread Next
to the vices the greatest evil of this day
is that the young men as a class are
living beyond their incomes. This is
no subject necessary for the imagina-
ton 10 play upon. IL Is Il vital reality.
Take for example The successful men
on Main street, and at twenty-five
every one was a painstaking. saving
young man. Are the clerks and en-
ployed Of today the same, or do not
their habits and mode of living require
them to expend all or more than they
earn With some exceptions this is
surely true.
What the country wants is not
misern nor spendthrifts. but class of
steady wage earners who care for their
substance and their families. II is this
kind Of people that makes a happy
community and prosperous nation.
TO encourage this kind of living there
is little doubt that the school saving
bank would be great institution.

BURNING WOMEN.
sattsfyinG the savage Human In
stfuct Of Cruelty.

stfuct OF Cruelty
The horrible punishment of burning
women alive seems to have existed in
Saxon. England, but perhaps only in
the case of slaves. says the Athenae um-
Under the Norman rulers, any cman,
bond or free. who killed her husband,
was burned alive. and the same punish
ment for this crime. and also for high
treason. and even for coming and other
minor offenses. continued or arose from
time to time through the seccnd and
third periods until it was abolished by
act of parliament; in 1870. the last actual
execution of this kind having, however,
taken place six years earlier. The whip
ping of women for various offerSes con-
tinued even later; public whipping
was not abandoned until iSi1, and cases
of private whipping occurred as late as
1890.
There can be no doubt. we think. that
the savage human instinct of cruelty
had something to do with the barba-ous
punishments above mentioned. As the
old Roman public lonved for the
carnage of the circus, as the Spanish
populare crowded to the auto-da-fe in
the fiourishinE days of the inquisition,
SO the lower tperhaps 10; only the low
er) strata of English nationality took
delight in witnessing tortures which.
in all probability, were devised and
kept up partly for their entertainment.

Jenreys. in sentencing woman TO be
whipped. is reported to have said:
'Hangman. | charge you TO pay par
ticular attention 10 this lady. Scourge
her till her blood runs down. II is
