MIX and Water.

Milk is an admirable food, containing
all tho elements of nutrition in o form
capable Of ready assimilation. Contrary
to the universal opinion, however, milk
is not always we'll adapted to tho uso Of
tho sick. A very active condition Of tho
digestive organs is required for tho
proper conversion Of milk, and tho di-
gestive fluids Of tho sick do not con- up
to this standard. Moreover, the facility
with which milk absorbs gases and do
velops poisonous ptomaines must DO
borne in mind. 1t is III this way u ready
source Of infection even when drawn
from u healthy COW, and there is little
doubt that much of til, milk i'll uso is
not obtained always fro. healthy ami
mails. Heat is the most satisfactory Of all
sterilizers, and when milk is boiled it is
probably safe. Tho boiling also renders
it moro digestible. The first action of
gastric juice upon raw milk is similar
to that produced by heat, but it requires
a very active solvent. Water is also u
familiar source Of disease, and all that
is used for drinking purposes should DO
previously boilcd.-New York Ledger.

That Was Why.

ticed her husband throw a glance at her
and then look about tho ground in a
very decided manner, as though in

"What is tho matter, James?" she
inquired, beginning to feel anxious.
"Have You lost anything"
II am looking to see if I can find out
why it is" was his respease. "It is in

to have it explained"
"What is it," she asked quietly. She
began to grasp the situation. She had
had similar experiences and meant to get
even at the first chance.

Significance OF tho Noss.

Tho nose, the form of which regulates
tho beauty Of tho other features, is by
no means inaccessible to higher culture,
for wo have it on tho authority Of q
German physician that it is beyond dis
puto that during half Of an individual
human life tho nose is capable of re-
oeiving u moro noble form. Tho train
ing of tho individual, tho culture of his
intellect and character, has IL very coll
siderable influence not only on tho ex-
preston Of the face in general, but also
Oh tho bodily nature Of tho nose. Tho
characteristics Of tho various shapes Of
nose, according to ~physiosnpmy, are rs
follows: Tho small, fiat nose found
among women and called tho soubretto
nose, when occurring with an other
wise agreeable and fortunate build of
features, indicates % certain gracious
and cheerful naivcto combined with an
i~nconsiderato curiosity. Such u nose
seldom is possessed by men, and when
1t IL it denotes al individuality CHAR
aoterized by weakness and deficient s;l-
gacity. A nose thick and fiat is an uu-
favorable feature with men as we'll as
with women, usually signifying that
the character is predominntel by mate
rial and sensual instincts, while II turn
cd up nose, with wide nostrils, hespeaks
q vain, pulled up disposition. Especial
ly wide nostrils nrc signs of strength,
courage and pride; Enall nostrils, Of
weakness and ti,nidity. Noses large in
every respect arc found mostly among
men and arc masculine attributes

The State Enforcement league,
which was in session at Grand Forks
last week, saw ct in its wisdom to CEN
sure Attorney General Cowan "for his
persistent neglect and tacit refusal to
perform the duties of his Office" We
fail to see where the Enforcement
league has any grounds for its assault
upon Mr.. Cowan. If the attorney gen.
eral is to be held responsible for the
enforcement of the prohibition law,
then Mr.. Cowan should be given credit
for being q more efficient officer than
either of The three prohibitionists who
preceded him in the ofice-Goodwin,
Spencer and Standish. The law is
better enforced today than ever before,
and Mr.. Cowan has done his part to
bring about this condition of affairs.
The league gives Mr.. Cowan credit for
having closed the saloons in Devils
Lake. This is more than Attorney
General Standish did, and he is a
prohibitionist and is said to have been
present when the resolution. %censuring
Mi. Cowan was passed.

Lejeune, the brilliant aid.de-camp
Of the Marshals Berthier, Davout and
Oudinot, gives o very interesting ac-
count of his first achievement on the
field Of battle. The French army was
crossing the Alps and found itself COM.

Tending.
Young Lejeune. who was anxious to
participate in the engagement, was
greatly disappointed when he was or
dered to remain at his post in the g
When the firing began, his heart beat
furiously, and rs the attack progressed
he felt that he could not remain passive
while his fellow soldiers were perform
ing deeds of yalor.
Believing himself rnnoticed, ho hur-
ried forward, forgetting that tho SOL
dier's first duty is obedience, and just
where tho fray seemed to be thickest he
found himself face to face with his COM.
handing officer. 1he general looked ut
the rash young soldier coldly.
"Since you have quilted your post"
he said. "you may take this order and
recall that company that has Como into
. bad position"
Lejeune heard tho order with u
strange sensation, for this was an er
rand from which he was not likely to
return alive. There was no escape, how
ever, and touching his cap he started OH
his perilous mission with q quaking
heart.
For some distance no crept along be-
hind u pile Of rocks that protected him
from tho fire Of tho enemy, but ut last
this shelter came to an end. Before him
there remained 100 steps to DO taken
under tho fro Of 200 guns pointed
straight Mt him.
To go forward was, no believed, cor.
tain death. To go back would 10 etcr-
nal disgrace. Tho whole army seemed
like an M%nphitheater around him.
Should he prove himself u coward or u
hero?
IF I die," thought he, lit will DO
only tho just penalty of my disobedi-

MUCH of the bitterness in evidence
election day was directed against Chief
Of Police Hurst, who mayor may not
be reappointed. The trouble with Mr..
Hurst seems to be that he has done
his duty as an officer. He has been
.vigilant and efficient and there is a
semi, lawbreaking class which always
has it in for such an official. Mr..
Hurst has made a most excellent chief
during the past two years and the
INTER OCEAN believes that the business
element Of the city favors his retention.

Ramsey County Girls.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, correspondence in
ST. Paul Dispatch, April 9: Last even
ing Miss Anna Gilday, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. B. w. Gilday, of this city.
departed for North Dakota, where she
intends to locate q l60.acre. tract of
government land situated twelve miles
from Devils Lake. This young woman
hes definite plans and furnishes o
splendid example of American pluck.
After filing q claim for the land men,
toned she will remain for five months
with relatives in Devils Lake. At the
end of that time she will build-a small
house on her land and make her home
there for eight months. She will have
the required number of acres plowed
and make such other improvements us
are required by the homestead laws
and will live on this land until she
receives a deed for the same from the
government.
Miss Gilday is prompted to this
strange venture by the success of her
sister Susie, who preceded her, going
to Devils Lake, N. D., two years ago
and remaining there ever since. Dur
ing her residence there she heard of a
l60-acre tract that had been deserted
by its original claimant. She accord
ingly built q house on tho land and
lived on 1t all alone the eight months
required by law, five miles from town.
At the end Of that time she secured Il
deed for the land from the government
and only last week sold it for Sl4OO in
cash.
But she did not propose that her
enterprise should rest here, and has all
along been on the lookout for good
government land. Only a short time
ago she located a fine quarter section
of government land about twelve miles
from town. AS she had already fully
availed himself of the benefits Of tho
homestead law she could not obtain
the land us the first piece had been
secured aud she accordingly sent for
her sister Anna, who left last night as
above stated. Miss Anna Gilday is II
young lady Of pleasing manners and
address. She seems to possess the
same degree Of nerve and pluck us her
sister has shown and fully expects to
realize the same success.

corn fields are so steep that they can,
not be cultivated by q pillow, but with a

and desolate, the scenery is grand
The road bed curves through the
valley Of the French Broad. crossing
the river in many places. The great
gray mountains, half clothed in hem.
lock aud cedar and in some places
looking like great masses of raw
copper, rise on every side. Until we
reached Ashville the track ran in the
valley, afterwards it ran high up on
the mountain side. From above the
valleys were SO beautiful that it would
have taken very little persuasion for
me to have turned Cracker" to have
dwelt in the little valleys all my days
like they do.
When l first arrived the weather was
so. cold that it froze my marrow, but i,
