On the day Of his public reception in
Virginia he rode in an open carriage
without his hat, exposed to the rays of
a brilliant sun, bowling to the crowds
always ready to greet him. There
was some apprehension that sum
stroke might be the penalty of his po-
likeness; but the marquis was an old
soldier. Before leaving home he had
put a damp towel into his capacious
wig, and protected by this helmet, he
could indulge his French politeness
with impunity. French and American
revolutions and Austrian dungeons had
taught him the art of self-preservation

Preceding him into her living-room,

listened to the praises of her son poured
forth by the eloquent Frenchman.
Then she mixed with her own hands
cooling drink and offered it to the gem

Milk md Water.

Milk is an admira 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
and develops poisonous ptomaines must
be borne in mind. It is in this way a
ready source of infection even when
drawn from healthy COW, ard 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 digestib,e.. The
first action of gastric juice upon raw
milk isa similar to that produced by
heat, but it requires very active solv-
emit. Water is also familiar source of
disease, and all that is used for drink
ing purposes should be previously
boiled.--N. Y. Ledger. !.

The BurIington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the lst of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace sleep
inS-car, and two roolinina-chair
cars. The Observation-Disclosures
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line. 1t is veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, writlng-desk,
compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50
a. m. today ON one of them you
are landed in Chicago at 2:15 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-quarter
hours. Just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February 6, 1898.
