Savannah Ga. March 19.-Capt. F. G.
Teasdale. of the British bark Diva. ar-
rived here Yesterday. He saw the ex-
plosion Of the Maine, and was witness
before the Court Of Inquiry His testi-
mony, he says. related to what he heard
from others and to the intensity Of
Spanish feeling in Havana against the
Maine prior TO her destruction.
"A slight indication OF this feeling -"
said Capt. Teasdale. ''was shown at bull
fight which l attended a few days before
the explosion.
"A Mexican bull was driven into the
ring. He was not sufficiently aggressive.
and was prodded and lanced and finally
harbs were planted in his body. When
these exploded there arose cries Of Give
IL to him, That's the Mainer These cries
were loudly cheered.
There is a deep-seated and scarcely
repressed hatred for Americans in Ha-
Nana, and the Maine explosion has not
improved it,"

MILK and Water.

Milk is an ad'mira BILE food, containing
all the elements Of nutrition in form
capable of ready assimilation. Con-
trary to the universal opinion, however,
milk is not always we'll adapted to the
use of the sick. A very active condition
of the digestive organs is required for
the proper conversion of milk, and the
digestive fluids of the sick do not come
up to this standard Moreover, the
facility with which milk absorbs gases
anddevelops poisonous ptomaines must
be borne in mind 1t is in this way a
ready source of infection even when
drawn from a healthy COW, and there
is little doubt that much of the milk in
use is not obtained always from healthy
animals. Heat is the most satisfactory
of all sterilizers, and when milk is
boiled it is probably safe. The boiling
also renders it more digestible. The
first action of gastric juice upon raw
milk is similar to that produced by
heat, but it requires very active solv-
ent. Water is also familiar source of
disease, and all that is used for drink
ing purposes should be previously
boiled.-N. Y. Ledger.

,,ow the Hardy Explorers Reached


,gbis Land Is "a Mystery.
How rsleolithic men got to this land
for il does not seem likely that;the
Genus homo was indigenous here--ls
Question that has puzzled. the wisest;
,,e,baps bv way OF Greenland, over the
i,ridring ice field which probably con
nec1ed Furope and America. However.
we know that he did get here, and, as
the first wandering bands Of these old
hunters came, we know, too, that they
found land Of snow and ice, of great
rivers and many lakes. 1t seems prob
able. from the finding of occasional i'm
elements III the older gravels, that the
earliest immigrants arrived while the
Glacier was at its maximum.
One unb1oken field Of ice had spread
over all the north, covering Manhat-
tan island 1000 feet and reaching to
within 50 miles of Philadelphia. AS the
years passed, more bands Of these hardy
explorers reached this land, and as the
second and later recessions of the ice
occurred, with accompanying flooded
rivers, it is likely that fairly dense
paleolithic population peopled our
river valleys. 1t was long time since
the first of their race came over the
ice: far distant past it must have
seemed-as it truly was to these later
day men.
To us the founding of Egypt is so far
away that it seems almost wholly myth
zeal; but the time which elapsed be-
tween the period of maximum glacia-
ten and the later days of the epoch
was possibly five times longer. Yet
this is one Of the short periods in the
Life history of the infant race. Such
was time in the observation-disclosures
