Microbes In Milk.

It will be readily granted that the
inspection Of milk and its sources of
supply is of even more Importance from
a public health point Of view than the
inspection Of meat, since milk is 80

Milk Immediately it is taken from

Hardly has the milk settled in the pail
than they abound, so many as 10, 600

presents itself is, "Where do they come
FRONT" From the soiled teats, from the
soiled hands of the workers, from the
atmosphere of the milking shed and
from the pals themselves. They pos

rapidly.

containing in one-quarter cubic inch

There is a small snail which Is 20
fond Of the sea that it never comes to
land and it builds such a capital boat
for itself and its eggs that while large
ships are sinking and steamers are un-
able to face the storm it losses about In
perfect safety.
The little snail is Of a violet color
and is therefore called ianthina. It has
small shell and there projects from
the under part of the body a long.
tonguelike piece of flesh. This is the
raft, and it is built upon most scientific
principles, for it has compartments in
it for air. 1t is broad and the air COM
partments are underneath, so that it
cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away its cargo, for the oldest eggs
and those which hatch the soonest are
placed in the center, and the lightest
and newest on the sides of the raft. The
ianthina fills its own air compartments
by getting globule of air underneath
its head, the body is then curved down
ward beneath the raft, and the head be-
ing tilted on one side, the air rushes up
and fills the spaces- 1t feeds on beau
tiful little jellyfsh, which has fat,
raftlike form with a pretty little sail
upon it, and they congregate in multi
tudes when the sea is calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed
| upon the northwestern coast Of France
and when they are handled they give
out violet dye. Press.

WILMINGTON MINISTER
BARRED.
New York Dispatch, 10Th.

New Ork Dispatch, 18th.
The committee appointed by the
congregation of the First Presby-
terrain church of this city to select
a successor for their late pastor,
DR.. John Hall, has eliminated the
most prominent candidate from
the list and the one who stood sec
ond in popularity. The latter will
undoubtedly be asked to take his
fathers pulpit, if his health will
permit.
The candidate who has given
the greatest degree of satisfaction
to the people is the Rev. P. H.
Hoge, now pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Whining.
ton, who has, however, destroyed
his own prospects for a call by
preaching an ante-election sermon
from his pulpit recently in which
be took the white side of the race
controversy in North Carolina and
declared in favor of driving the
negroes out of the State.
Since the election Mr.. Hoge has
discussed the issue again with
equal candor, and in his sermon
last Sunday justified the lynching
and declared that it should be re-
sorted to when necessary. The
good brethren of the Fifth Avenue
church are shocked at such doc
trine and Mr.. Hoge will have tx
remain in the South. He is &
nephew of the famous Rev. DR.
Moses D. HI &c, of Richmond.

VOTING BY MACHINE.
A BIIICT Box THAT DOES MOI
CHANGE, MIsCOUNT OR RE-
PEAT A EOTE.

An interesting feature of the
election was the thorough test of the
Standard Voting Machine at Roches-
ter. That city purchased seventy
three machines, and the experiment
seems to have been Thoroughly sue
cessful.
The complete returns from
Rochester were the first to be receiv
ed. They were sent in within half
an hour after the polls closed. This
mahine adds up the vote as the
ballots are cast, and as soon as the
voting ceases it is necessary merely
to refer to the totals to learn the
official vote.
The Standard Machine not only
seems to possess human intelligence,
but, which is more important,
| it lacks human fallibility. 1t refuses
to lie or to steal; it will not mislead
voter, stuff ballot box, or in any
way abridge the right of suffrage.
There may be other machines az
lingenius and meritorious as the one
used in Rochester. We can't have
too many of these devices for pre-
venting the errors and crimes Of
negligent and dishonest election
officers.
There is law authorizing the us<
for fairer elections if they were adopt
ed in every precinct in the State

How We Walk.

translation Of a review of Comment

M. Marcy, who wrote the introduc-

style Of walking that enables one, with
out excessive fatigue, to go distances Of
from 30 to IS miles in a third of the
time usually required. This may be 40
complished by walking with the knees
bent and the body inclined forward, q
method which has been observed in pro.

When the turkey comes in from
the market take a clean, damp
sponge and thoroughly wash it,
and then with a clean damp cloth
wipe out the inside until it is
sweet and clean. Don't, l pray
you, do as an overly particular
housewife of my acquaintance
does-scrub the turkey inside and
out with a scrubbing brush and
soap and lay it in strong salt wa
ter overnight. Not much taste
or juiciness left i'll the turkey at
ter such vigorous treatment,
warrant you. No, gentle but
thorough washing is all that il
necessary to insure thorough
cleanliness, and no meat should
ever be allowed to soak in sal
water overnight.
The filling for the turkey may
be either the plain bread filling, ;
chestnut filling or a filling made
Of oysters.
| BREAD FILLING.
The bread filling for a ten-poun(
turkey is made by crumbling
fve-cent loaf of bread (bakers
bread twenty-four hours old i
best). Put a piece of butte
weighing two ounces into a we'll
heated frying pan and whel
slightly Drowned add medium
sized onion cut into slices. Brow
this and when done add the breat

five minutes. Add one teaspoon
full of pepper and teaspoonful o
finely chopped parsley. Fill tn
space from which the crop wa
removed, as we'll as the space lef

CHESTNUT FILLING.
For the chestnut filling tW
quarts of roasted chestnuts ar
required. Remove the shells
mash the chestnuts and lay on
quarter of them aside for tn
gravy. To the others allow tw
ounces of butter, one teasponfu
of salt and dash of pepper. FIJI

For the oyster filling drain tn
