supplied Immediately after the birth
of young. It may be that they are
present in larger quantities in the milk
of animals that have not been bred es-
pecially for milk production. 1t may
be, also, that the processes now ex-
tensively used by the so-called steril-
ization of milk destroy those sub
stances which nature has supplied for
the facilitation of digestion.
1t has been supposed that certain
changes which take place in milk and
cheese are due to bacteria. but Profs.
Babcock and Russell have shown that
these changes are partly due, at least.
to the presence of hitherto unknown
chemical ferments.
1t was the phenomenon of the "ripen-
ing" of cheese which first turned the
attention of the experiments to this
work. They have been advancing
steadily for the past year, and have
now established certain basic facts.
They are anxious to examine the
milk of great many different kinds of
animals. They have made their ex-
periments upon ewes. mares and
other domesticated animals milk. and
have even gone to the very topmost
flower on the tree of life.
1t is regarded by them as very i'm
portant TO make the range of investi-
cation as wide as possible, and for this
reason they are anxious to secure the
milk of various wild beasts. With this
end in view they have hoped to enlist
the cooperation of the superintendent
of geological gardens and menageries
throughout the country.
Prof. Russell said in reference to the
present brief notice of his and DR..
Babcock's work that he hoped it would
attract the attention of persons hav-
ing wild beasts under their care, and
thus secure for the experimenters the
samples of milk which they desire.
1t is curious to reflect that the inves.
legations referred to may have some
bearing on the strange case of the
woman who lived after her stomach
had been removed-a case reported
from Europe and widely discussed in
the papers of this country recently.
She was undoubtedly fed with milk.
and if it contains its own digesting
fluids, the case would be in measure
explained.

WILD GAME.


Incoming Nuisance in West virgin-
ia-Destroyins Farm Products.
Farmers and sportsmen in West Vir-
ginia find themselves in an unenviable
position at present. They have a game
law now which is anything but salts
factory Wild turkeys are eating every
thing left outside the sheds, while deer
are stalking into the barnyards without
any one to modest or make them afraid,
all this because of a misunderstanding
on the part of those who wanted to pro-
tect the game. C. NJ. Hostetter, who
has been in close communication with
many of the mountain people, spoke re-
Gently of the amusing predicament in
which they find themselves at present.
Said he:
Last year the West Virginia people
decided that their game preserves were
being used too freely by outsiders, and
they took immediate steps to have the
laws frightened up. As a result it was
made an offense punishable by fine to
shoot deer within the borders of West
Virginia until 1901 The killing of tur-
key, grouse and quail was also cut off
for some years.
1.-THE result Of this law has been most
alarming. Until it was made an offense
against the law to kill game the people
did not know how much there was down
there. If the people who had those laws
passed had their say now they would
send out special invitations to hunters
to come in and kill all the game they
could see. I have it from some of the
best people in the state that the tur-
keys have become alarmingly bold and
have had a great time eating up the
corn this fall. In some parts of the
state the deer have come up into the
yards and herded with the cattle, 50
fearless and contented are they. Game
seems to have really oyerrun the state.
i have it on the best authority that at
the meeting of the next legislature at
Charleston there will be a movement
on foot to repeal the game laws now in
force. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

MEXICAN ToBAcco CULTURE.
Many Cubans Have Gone There and
Are Raising the Plant.


Are Raising the Plant.
Mexican tobacco growers have high
hopes of profit from the misfortunes
of Cuba, and not from her misfortunes
alone, but from the exhaustion of her
soil. Great numbers of Cubans have
gone to Mexico, and in the Vale Ma
eional and the 0zumaein district they
are confident of raising the finest Ha-
Yana wrappers ON margin of profit
that makes the Klondike seem like
stone yard. The Mexican Herald says
that all the tobacco land in the Vale
Nacional and one-third of the tobacco
land in 0zumacin are now planted in to-
baeco. Wrappers that sell for so cents
to one dollar pound, and that some
times sell for $1.20, can be produced, it
is claimed, for 12 cents a pound includ-
ing interest on the capital The paper
quotes tobacco grower as figuring out
that rs acres will do for ,000, 900 plants.
SiXty-two and half pounds per 1000
plants and one dollar pound, and this
would make the proceeds of IS acres
come to $62, 500, from which it is not
necessary to deduct more than $500
for expenses; but If this allowance be
increased to $4,000, the rs acres would
afford net profit of $4,000. This
profit ought to satisfy the most exact
ing, but the area of choice tobacco land
is quite limited, and most of it is al
ready devoted TO that crop, so that
everyone should not rush Immediately
to Mexico to grow tobacco. Tobacco
is hard on the soil, and there is prob
ably truth in the complaint of Cubans
in Mexico that at home the soil is wear
ing out and requires expensive fertiliza-
ton, which is not now needed in Mexico.

miles north by northwest of Seattle.
This is the reason for its being chosen
as the point of beginning. From Ques-
nellie the line will run northwest, the
principal points on the route being as
follows: Fort Fraser, 135 miles distant;
Hazleton, 200 miles farther on; Tele-
graph Creek. 80 miles; head of Lake
Atlin. 24o; Teslin river, rs; Big Sal
mon river. "a; Little Salmon river. Sc;
Five Finger Rapids, SO; Pelly river, SO;
White river. 9G; Sixty Mile river. 81;
Dawson City, 45-a total of 1923 miles.
While the places mentioned are the
principal points on the line. Mr.. Hos
mer states it is the intention of the
company to establish stations every
four miles. The line will to a certain
extent be government affair, and it is
expected II will be utilized very largely
by the mounted police in their COM
munieations. In fact, the Canadian
government has really been acting in
concert with the company. and the Sc
lection of the route is in great measure
due to the preference expressed by the
authorities.
The difficulties of construction are
not so great with this line as might be
imagined Before making the selection
of route the knowledge of men who have
become familiar with the country was
called into requisition and combined
with the information furnished by
party of men who at the instance of
the company took a prospecting trip
some months before there was danger
of sources of knowledge being shut off
by winter. This latter party. Mr.. Hos
mer states. discovered that fairly d.
rect line could be built and still great
portion of the anticipated difficulties
avoided.
The route does not include the IA
nous Chilkat pass, but lodges the issue
by going to the east of this monument
OF death and despair. There is nc point
on the projected line, Mr.. Hosmer says,
where there will not be maintained
passable road just so long as "the
weather will permit" In fact, the con-
struction of the line really means new
route to the Klondike, and one which
is likely to find great favor with those
who prefer an overland journey
1t has been necessary in planning
this line constantly to bear in mind
the fact that the cost of maintenance
is likely to be great. Along some por-
tons of the route the snowfall is sim
ply tremendous-very like that in the
vicinity of Durango, Col, where the
people expect to be showed up for
weeks regularly every year. At every
station in the deep snow section it will
therefore be necessary to store a sufIi-
Gent quantity of provisions to avoid
any danger of starvation of the teie-
graph employees even under extraordi-
nary circumstances. This means a

QUEER FACTS ABOUT MILK.
what Two wisconsin Scientists Are
Finding by Experiments.
copyright. 1881


DR.. S. NJ Babcock and Prof W. L.
Russell, of the agricultural experiment
station of the University of Wisconsin.
are making an unusually interesting
series of experiments with milk. Their
purpose is to discover whether there
are present in re milk of various ani-
mails certain chemical ferments which
have the power of digesting the casein.
in which is the important substance in
milk as food.
The possible value of these investi-
cations is easy to see. They may lead
to the most important conclusions re-
garding the feeding of children. For
instance. the two scientists mentioned
have practically demonstrated that
cows milk contains certain substances
hitherto unsupported which make its
digestion by the human stomach easier.
This leads at once to the question
whether the amount of these sub
stances varies at different times. AS
they are evidently provision of nature
to assist the nutrition of the young. it
may be that they are more literally

More progress has been made by the
women of the little country ruled over
by the fractions Queen Wilhelmina in
the last ten years than perhaps any
other nation in Europe. In Holland
women have learned the advantage of
cooperation and organization, and in
stead of being divided against them
selves, as in England. they have worked
together with result that they are
winning all along the line. They have
formed a large number of societies of
a philanthropic character, thus show
ing the useful and practical side of the
movement. There is, for example,
society for assisting working women
to obtain homes of their own, society
for aiding the children of poor working
people, society for making flower and
vegetable gardens among the poor, a
society for the aid of sick working
women. a society for the insurance
of sick working women and girls
and society for the education
of servants. Practical work of this
kind among women is the best
earnest of the suffrage, which will sure
ly come. This year the government has
passed law comforting almost an equal
suffrage upon women and making thert
eligible to nearly all municipal offices.
Next year, in token of this progress,
Dutch women viii hold a worlds fair at
The Hague, which is to be devoted sole
~ to the exhibitions of women's aetig;-
ties and industries. Side by side with
tie progress of woman's work there has
been an advance in the political field

held him up. McQuillan argued with
him. and St Clair said he intended to
lock the guard up, and also Sheriff

bounced upon him, armed with knife.
The murderer recovered himself and
fired both barrels of the shotgun at Nc
