CRADLE WAS EMPTY
Papa Walked tho Floor But Mamma
Slept.

Papa Walked tho Floor But Mamma
Slept.
The little white cradle with it's can
opy of blue was empty. The dOwny
pillow still bore the impress of the lit
tie head that once pressed it; tiny
shoe lay where it had fallen from the
dimpled foot; a discarded toy was on
the floor, and On the wall were the
imprints of those chubby fingers.
All these the wretched man could see
as he paced to and fro in agony OF
spirit
oh, if he could only once more see
that face dreaming in the cradle, or
even if he could only forget or blot
out even for moment the memory of
the last few hours!
But there stood the empty cradle,
with all it's sacred associations, bring
ing flood of recollections that prom
ised to crush him beneath it's very
weight
For a brief moment he was seized
with wild desire to wreak his venge-
ance upon the empty cradle, but the
imprints of the three dimpled fingeri
upon the wall seemed held up in silent
warning, anu he lSll 10 pacing ZIG
room again.
He turned his haggard face where
his wife lay dreaming with smile
upon her lips.
Oh, God How could she forget?
How could she lay there smiling with
that empty cradle so near?
The face that peered down at the
slumbering woman was the face of
fiend.
There was murder in his heart
Under the intense gaze his wife
moved uneasily, and finally, as II con-
scious of impending danger, she opened
her eyes and looked calmly and trust
ingly into the face of her husband.
John, haven't you quieted the baby
YETI"
With gesture of despair the wretch
ed man pointed to the empty cradle
and resumed his weary vigil.

IknnId Milking.

It is a common mistake to suppose
that the faster a cow is MIXED the bet
ter is the milk product drawn from the
ndder. 1t is certainly not so until prac-
tice has acquired, and the muscles CT
The hand have been trained so that the
teats may be compressed gently and
without apparent effort The pulling
Ind hauling worries the COW, and often
causes her to hold up the milk so that
no one can rapidly draw i. AS rule
cows should be MIXED always by the
same person. If change is made the
COW at once discovers it and makes theV
milking harder.
The operation of milking, if gently
performed, is pleasure to the cow.
This pleasure promotes milk secre-
ton, so it is not an absurdidity so say
that good mixer will get more milk
from a COW at the same milking than
an unskilful one could get, though each
secured all that the udder would afford
to him or her. The change from one
mixer to another is never made with
out some loss. Therefore where large
herd of cows have to be MIXED, and
several mixers are employed, each
mixer should have assigned to him the
cows he shall milk, instead of milking
one or another unfortunately. The
cow will discriminate, even If the milk
er does not.-American Cultivator. \

In the production of metallic films
by electro-metallurgy, it has been the
practice to coat the metal plate on
which the film deposit is made with
an insulation layer of an oxidizing
substance, or with an alkaline or
other suIphide. The film thus pro.
duced lacks uniformity of thickness,
while much of it is lost by adhesion to
the metal plate. In a new process of
making metal paper, patented in
England, the metal plate is of brass
or silvered German silver, highly po-
lished and freed from grease with
spirit and paste of lime; and this
plate is subjected to the electric cur
rent in bath prepared by dissolvlng
Ii pounds of sodium sulphantimoni-
ate in 5 gallons of hot water and
afterward diluting with 20 gallons of
water and filtering. The thickness
of the antimonY deposit thus made
varies with the time of the immersion.
When sufficiently thick the deposit
is given copper backing in bath
Of sulphate of copper, and is then
cemented to paper, cardboard, linen,
or any desired material. It is finally
drawn off from the copper after filing
the plate at the edges.

From recent statistics it appears

In English potteries last year, 40
per cent of the male workers and 12.4

ing. After investigation, Profs.
Thorpe and Oliver recommend that
the use OF raw lead in glazes and
colors be prohibited, and that young
persons and women be excluded from
work in certain operations. Expert
ments of the last few months have
shown that satisfactory leadness
glazes are branches of the pottery in
dustry, however, it might be difficult
to dispence altogether with lead com
pounds, and in such cases the risk of
poisoning could be greatly reduced
by using the lead in the form of
fritted double silicate. The
older factories, in which it is impos-
sible to introduce favorable sanitary
conditions, should be closed.

The process of purifying water by

proved efficient, and the method has
shown better results than any other
tried. All disease bacteria were de-
stroyed, few specimens of a harm

is so reduced that the water is much
less liable to subsequent pollution
than ordinary water, while the aera-
ton improves the taste.

The increasing use of cyanide of
potassium has added new danger
to gold mining. DR.. j. Loevy, in a
communication to the Chemical and
Metaliurgical Society of South
Africa, explains that the substance is
quickly decomposed by the aid of
the stomach. and the free hydrocya-
mic acid Immediately enters the blood,
causing poisoning, as it appears, by
a kind of suffocation, the tissues
being prevented from absorbing oxy-
gen. The only effective antidote is
peroxide of hydrogen, which in two
per cent solution, must be injected
into the blood at once. In recent
cases in Germany lives have been
saved by the prompt use of this anti
dote, and it is recommended that
wherever the cyanide of potassium is
a supply of peroxide hydro
gen be kept, stored in the dark in half |
ounce giass-stoppered bottles.
