few evening, ago pretty girl got
on an Indiana avenue ear at Twenty
fourth street. In one corner Of the car
sat a bibuiuus freshman, in the senti-
mental stage Of iutaN.cation He was
singing softly to himself There's Only
One Girl in The World for Me" and
lurching back and forth without regard
to the comfort of the passengers near
him. The man who sat next TO the
sentimental freshman got up and Of
fered his seat to The pretty girl. She
hesitated aDd tLen said. NO, thank
you; I'm only gong few blocks"
The intoxicated Individual stopped
as short in his song as if he had run
ngains, rope lie braced up stifIly
and his face took on look of disap-
pointment and injured innocence as
he broke out with:
"She t-hic-she won't set down

PRESERVING MILK.
something About the Use of BOracic
Acid In This Necessary
Matter.

A scientific journal states that bo-
raric acid is an excellent and harmless
preservative of milk, and that in guam
utles necessary to preservation d. e..
according to the length of time for
which 1t is desired TO preserve the milk
its presence cannot be detected either

grains to the gallon Will preserve the
milk from one to three days, accord
ing TO the care exercised in the cleans
ing of the containing vessels and the
temperature. 1t is somewhat surpris-
ing that the mnocuous substance
should have acquired an evil reputation
in the public mind. 1t is stated on good
authority that, although vague state
ments about ii OF an injurious nature
have from time to time been spread by
Ito opponents, not a single instance OF
injury to health by boracic acid has
been substantiate6.
Within the last few months DR.. C..
Liebreich, director of the roval
pharmaceutical institute, in Berlin,
said, at the instigation of Prof. Vir-
chow, he had carried on long series
of experiments with boracic acid, and
had convinced himself that it was ad-
mirably adapted as food preservative
and in the quantities necessary for that
purpose 1t was quite harmless. He
added that neither in actual practice
nor according to authoritative litera-
ture had case been known, so far as
he was aware, in which food prepared
or preserved with borax or boracic
acid had exercised deleterous effect
on the health of any individual.

One by one the old superstitions are

suffer no evil consequences. Friday is

sitting down to game OF whist, he
thoroughly shutIled both packs Of
cards. and happened to notice that the
two OF spades was the bottom card Of
one of the packs.
This ought to bring me luck" he re.
marked to his friends.
He then took up the second pack. and
was astoui>hcd to find that the two Of
spades was also at the bottom of that.
Words failed TO express his amazement
when, in drawing for partners and deal
the cards had beer shuflled again-he
once more drew The two of spades.
The odds against this triple event oc-
curing must be enormous. but more
waste follow. The deal fell to the writ

BAZIN'S ROLLER SHIP.
cost over One Hundred Thousand
Dollars to DiSprove New Idea
i'm Navigation.

Bazln's roller snip which cost over
100000 to test an entirely new idea in
navigation, has recently been sold at
Hull, England. and will be dismantled
and broken up, according to the Sketch.
Bazil's central iGea of facilitating the
ships progress by rolling over the wa
ter instead of forcing passage through
1t was just ore Of those problems which
can be solved only by full-sized trial,
and the maritime world is indebted to
him for definitely setting at rest for
all time the impossibility of attaining
any notable improvement in speed or
stability by the adoption of the roller
principle. Tie six hollow rollers are
about IS feet in diameter and u feet
thick; the shape closely resembles two
saucers having the edges Joined to-
gether. About one-quarter of each
roller Is submerged; no part of the
hull Of the vessel touches the water.
The deck, about 1870 feet long and "A
feet wide, is elevated considerably
above the water line and carries the
superstructure devoted to passenger
accommodation and machinery spaces.
The method of propulsion is the usual
screw, rotating in an inclined position
between the rollers and driven by a
6Oehorse power engine; the rollers
also possess independent motive power
In the form of smaller engine con-
nected to each pair. Unfortunately, on
trial the ship hardly realized half the
speed anticipated.

Anti-yemltes Want to Force Him Out OF
the Presidency.
Paris. Feb. 19.-Altogethcr 100 ar
rests have been made in connection
with to-day's disturbances.
There is every sign of campaign
against President Loubet similar to
that which drove NJ. Casimir Perier to
resign. Clearly La Patre Franchise
will leave no stone unturned to achieve
this object. it's chief ground of objec-
ton being that the president is a
Drcyfusard. The street demonstra-
tions which have occurred have not
been spontaneous. but We're evidently
organized. and SO far they have been
easily suppressed.
1t is affirmed that the Dupuy cabi-
net will net energetically TO maintain
public order.
The keynote OF NJ. Loubct's policy
may probably be found in the follow
ing conversation with n. Burgeoise.
leader of the Moderate Radicals, who
came to offer 10 the new president the
support OF his party. Before accept
Ing II NJ. Loubet said:
You are doubtless aware that one

of mine will be stringent law to stem
the current OF insult. infamy and defn-

fear that perhaps legislation of this
kind will scarcely tally with the Radi-
cal ideas"
NJ. Bourgcoise's answer was a cheer
full acquiesccnce. Herr Frischauer. the
correspondent here OF the Neue Freie
Presse. has been expelled from the
country.
Police measures for the maintenance
Of order have been taken on an extcn-
sive scale. and the city is quiet. NJ.
I.oubet did not quit his residence at
the Luxembourg until. o'clock this
evening.
The newly elected President re-
turned to Paris from Versailles this
afternoon by train. He is the first
President who has done 80. He
ordered an open carriage and pair to
await him mt the station, instead of a
carrlnge and four. He was well re-
ceiyed by tremendous crowds. He ar
rived by daylight and had an escort
Of cuirnssiers. The entire absence Of
haughtiness In his demeanor was
fayorably remarked. NJ. Loubet paid
visit to Madame Faure on his way
home and saluted the corpse of NJ.
