Milk and Eggs.


Milk contains most of the elements
that go to make the egg. Its casein is
chemically the same as the albumen,
of which the white of egg is entirely
composed and which constitutes q large
part also of the egg yolk. But it is not
best for fowls to take their casein with
SO large proportion of water as is
found in milk. Heat the milk until
it is curdled, perhaps adding little
rennet to separate the curd from the
whey more fully, Then to further dry
it mix it with corn and oats ground
together, and it will be winter ration
that will not only re greedily eaten,
but will make the hens lay in winter
better than almost any other that can
be given to them.-Live Stock.

To The Dan,lelion.

Dear common flower, that grow'st beside the
way,
Bringing the dusty road with harmless gold.
First pledge of blithesome May,
| Which children pluck and full Of pride uphold,
High,hearted buccaneers o'erjoyed that they
An An Colorado In the grass have found,
| Which not the rich earths ample round
May match in wealth-thOu art more dear to me
Than all the prouder summer blooms may be.
Gold such as thine ne'er drew tho Spanish prov
Through the primeyal hush of Indian seas,
Nor wrinkled the lean brow
0f age to rob the lovers heart of ease;
Ills the springs largess, which she scatters now
To rlcll and poor alike, with lavish hand,
Though most hearts never understand
To take 1t at God's value, but pass by
The offered wealth with unrewarded eye.
Thou art my tropics and mine Italy;
To look at thee tnlocks warmer cline;
The eyes thou givest me
Are In the heart. and heed not space or time:
Not In mid June the golden-curass'd bee
Feels a more summer-likc warm rayishment
In the white llly's breezy tent,
His fragrant Sybaris, than l. when first
From the dark green thy yellow circles burst.
My childhood's earliest thoughts are linked with
The sight of thee calls ba the robins song,
Who from the dark old tree
Beside the door, sang clearly all day long,
And L, secure In childish pety,
Listened as II l heard an angel sing
With news from heayell. which lie could bring
Fresh every day to my untainted ears
When birds and flowers and were happy peers.
How like aprodigal doth nature seem,
When thou tor aii thy gold SO common art!
Thou teachest me to deem
More sac eddy every heart,
Since each reflects In Joy Its scanty CLEAN
Of heaven, and could some w0ndrous secret
/ show, :. y =
Did We but pay the love we owe,
And with child ilndoubting wisdom look
On all these living pages of Gods book.

is IT MALARIA OR ALUM?

From Popular Science Monthly.
Languor, loss of appetite. indigcs-
ton and often fcvershness are the
common symptoms of a physiological
condition termed malaria" All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t Obstructs
digestion, prustratcs the nerves. coag-
ulates and devitaliZes the blood. All
this has been made clear thanks to
physicians, boards of health. and food
commissions. SO highly injurious to
the health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University Of
PENNSYLVANIA, Dr. Baker, consider the
alum baking powders that no says
their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every house wife TO en-
ploy the very little care that is neces-
sary to keep 50 dangerous an element
from the food of her family
A pure cream of tartar baking now

be used ought to cost about A. cents
to so cents a pound. Therefore, if you
are paying much less, something is
wrong; if YOU are paying % cents or
less per pound. the powder is certain
ly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.

JOSEPH MEDILL's DF@x MESS.
Didn't Prevent Him frcs%aHearing
Things He Wasn't Supposed To.


From tho New York Herald.
Old-time printers whose Identities
We're merged into the Tribune would
relate with great gusto the circum-
stance that while Mr.. Medrl was ap-
parcntly dear at all times for num-
Der of years he yet always heard things
said which those about him might not
have wished TO reach his ears. Before
the time of the typc-castinG machines
disputes with the printers i'm the Tri-
hume office were frequent, as they were
i'm all offices. These disputes did not
appear To affect Mir, Medil very much,
but his brother Sam was much op-
posed 10 thom--thOuGht that a little
change in the policy of the manage
mCnt might prevent them, and did not
hesitate ~ say So
one night the printers were particu-
larly angry at some requirement Of the
paper. and sam Modul volunteered to
take IA delegation of them to Nh Me-
dills office and talk il oyer with him.
As the delegation entered the sanctum,
Sam leading, the latter turned to the
men behind him, and, SupposnG his
brother could not hear, said:
I'm do the talking To the blankcty
blankcty blank blank
Quick as a flash Mi. Mcdill whirlcd
i'm his chair and said;
What's that, sam? What's that,
what's that"
Very much startled, Sam said:
Il was just saying to the gentlcmon
that if they would permit me to in
tclligently explain the situation to you
| believed an anica blp and Satisfap-
tory understanding could be reached"
"Oh, yes" said MI Medill, and in
two minutes the trouble was over.

MORE FACT THAN FANCY.
Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company
Contemplates Many Changes in
Its Operating Policy--Secret
of Surveys at Lebanon.

There is more fact than fancy in
the story reprinted from the Lebanon
report in yesterdays Tribune about
the surveys that are being made at
Lebanon by the Lackawanna Iron and
steel company with Il view to estab-
fishing a large plant there for the
manufacture Of steel billets. 4 radical
change Of operating policy has been
contemplated by the company for some
time Just what form the changes
will take is secret that has been
guarded with the greatest care.
For the last few years some Of the
largest steel manufacturing plants of
the country notably those controlled by
Carnegie have been reducing operat-
ing expenses, and the cost of manu-
featuring steel in its various forms to
the lowest possible notch with a view
to forcing out of existence the weak
est of it's competitors. In some in
stances this policy has been successful
one of the concerns it was very
much desired to force out of the steel
rail business is the LaCkawanna COM
pany. of this city, which, by virtue Of
its capable management, is able to sue
cessfully compete with the largest
steel rail establishments of the coun-
try.
For some time the directors of the
LaCkaWanna company have been look
ing for a means of increasing their
advantages as manufacturers. Car
neSic, for Instance, has his mills To-
Gated closer to the territory from which
the bulk of the rail orders come, the
middle and far west. He is interested
in the famed Lake Superior ore mines
and the company brings the ore to
Buffalo over a railroad that is largely
a Carnegie property. In the matter of
coke which now enters largely into
the production of steel Carnegie is
equally well provided for by the prox-
unity of numerous coke ovens owned
by him.
The LaCkaWanna company must buy
it's coke in the market and pay the
freight e. this city. At Lebanon it
owns extensive ore beds, but has to
pay large freight rates to get it to
this city. 1t was to cut down these
freight charges that the company
some time ago began to manufacture
pig iron extensively at Lebanon. 1t
is stated that the company is neGO-
tiating for some coke properties and
that in the near future the coke it will
consume will come from its own plant.
Those who have watched the growth
Of the business policy that has been
forced on the company by changed con-
ditiOns are inclined to the belief that
if the company can get a suitable site
and proper natural advantages at
Lebanon it will construct a plant for
| the manufacture of steel billets and
use it's mills in this city largely for
rolling purposes,

NEW DRESS OF AN OLD IDEA.
Fakir Arrested for Exploiting It on
Lackawanna Avenue.

A fakir giving the name of Frank
McCloskcy and claiming to hail from
Philadelphia was arrested on Lacka-
wanna avenue last night for vending
without license. lie was warned to
quit by Sergeant RdReway, but when
the officer got out of sight the fakir
resumed his occupation. Later, Pa
trolman Neuls also warned him to quit
and when he found him half hour af-
forwards still doing business at the
old stand he was taken into custody.
He was selling a chemical match
novelty that lights upon ice or lemon
juice being applied to it. He sold tho
match for five cents and gave to each
purchasers three blank slips of paper.
lie would not say what the slips or
paper were for. but i'm mysterious and
moianngful tones info med his hearers
that the slips were presented with the
match and not sold. Above all things
It must he understood that he was
not selling the slips Of paper lie
gave them away and every purchaser
Of one Of the matches was entitled
to three Of the slips Of paper.
At the station house he freely adj
mttcd that the slips of paper were
nothing but a "catch.' people will
bite at anything mysterious like a
hungry trout at a Fat worm" he said
"They buy the match just to get those
mysterious three slips Of paper and
then stand around waiting for the time
to come when | will explain the mys-
terry. or redeem those mysterious slips
with $50 gold pieces or some such thing.
When I sell all my matches and pack
up my box there is always a crowd of
jays waiting to inquire what those slips
Of paper are for. There is where have
my little joke"
McCloskcy says he has frequently
been arrested, hut never has been held
for court, as he can not be charged
with auv crime
