"CHEW,, YOUR MILK.

"Chewing milk" is not pastime
nor fashion nor yet commercial
enterprise. 1t is one of the newest
cures, or rather, means to one of
the newest cures, being the latest
improved, not to say approved method
of taking the lacteal fluid. 1t is
prescribed in all cases where milk is
the chief article of diet-such as
brain fag, nervous exhaustion and
prostration and the rest Of them so
common to America and Ameri-
cans that they all come under the
general head of "our national NAL
ady." Milk, taken regularly every
few hours, is, so the doctors say, the
best of remedies for all nerve troubles.
Few human stomachs, however,
whether because of the nerve troubles
or not isn't known-can digest milk.
If drunk in the usual way, and in
spite of all its other virtues, it is sure
to coagulate in the stomach into a
hard, well-nigh indigestible mass.
Chewing milk instead of drinking it
causes 1T to ooagulate in the mouth,
and sends itinto the stomach in small
pieces, more easy of diges tion than
the large mass. These are the prin-
ciples upon which doctors recon-
mend chewed milk for invalids and
they advise well persons not to
despise it. Already many persons
have become converts to the new
order of milk mastication. It's a
little awkward learning to chew the
liquid at first, but, once mastered,
"they say" there's quite fascination
in the thing. At almost every
restaurant, nowadays, are to be seen
a number of men and women with
tall schooners of milk before them
and a queer objectless working of
their jaws, which, if you didn't know
better, might make you think them
mildly crazy. But they're only
chewing milk.-Near York Sun.

Disguised as a Boy.

Several months ago Henry Boet-
cher, a small manufacturer Of brick
just outside of Appleton, adopted
fourteen-year-old girl and brought
her to his home. Soon after her
arrival she was dressed in boys
clothes and worked in the brick
yard handling brick with men and
boys.
The girls sex was not generally
known to her iellow-workmen for
several months. At last neighbors
reported the matter to Humane Agent
Wilkie, and Boetcher was arrested
and brought before Justice of the
Peace. He begged hard, and promised
to dress the girl properly, to send her
to school and to require nothing but
housework of her. Upon this plea he
was released with a nominal fine of
81 and costs.

sOne phase of the census taking
which all may not understand is
that the information taken is regard
ed as strictly confidential, and is not
impaired to anyone outside of the
census department. The enumera-
tor is not so much as allowed to tell
the number of inhabitants in the
district he canvasses. In fact he
is not allowed to tell the least bit of
information he obtains. 1t is for

THE CASTELLANES.
ExtravagaDt Prices Paid for New
WardrObes.

The Countess Boni de Castellane,
of Paris, France, known here as "L.a
Petite Could" has just paid $4,000
for pair of wardrobes which are to
grace her bed. room in the new Cas-
tellane palace in the Boies de Bou-
logne.
No such sum was ever paid for a
mere chest in which to keep the
clothes of young man and woman
but no such chests as these were
ever made before, nor is it likely that
any such will ever be made again.
They were made during the boy
hood of Louis XIV for the youth
tul king by order of the regent.
Cabinet making and brass work can
not so beyond this creation. The
decorations in brass, which almost
cover the tortoise shell venier of the
woodwork, are the most marvellous in
existence. There are Cupid's garland.
flowers and nude figures of many
kinds wrought in the highest designs
of the exquisite art of the period.
These marvellous wardrobes came
from the Talleyraud collection, and
were bought privately by the Uastel-
lanes. Paris is aghast at the price.
1t thought 1t had grown accustomed
to the extravagances of Count Boni,
but this late flight of the Gould mill
ions has utterly staggered it.
The next generation will see the
Gould fortune pretty we'll cut up,
there being so many heirs. The
richest of these will be Kingdom,
George Gould's eldest child. His
father is rated at $40, 100000.

WANT GERMAN PRoTEcroRATE
Object Of the Visit of Dr.. Lsyds TO
Berlin.

New York. Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: A re-
port is current in diplomatic circles in
this city that Dr. Leyds had for his
sole purpose in going to Germany, the
establishment of a German prOtectOraJe
over the Boer republic. The German
emperor. il is believed has been an
preached and asked to take charge Of
the BOer republic. The Beers. it is said
seem To realize that their defeat at the
hands of England will be the ultimate
result of the present war.
Rather than submit to subsection to
Great Britain, they viii voluntarily
come under the sovereignty of the Ger
man empire, under certain StipulatiOns,
which viii guarantee them local self
government
1t is stated here that President Kru-
ger, realizing THAI the liberties of his
people are in danger. and that the con-
tinuance of the republic is threatened,
prefers a German emperor rather than
an English ruler. The overture TO the
German emperor was made in the first
place, it is reported, with a view TO
creating a rupture between Great Brit
ain and Germany. This, however. was
avoided, as it is understood that Empe-
rOr William declined to consider the
proposition at least for the present.
According to the report, DR.. Leyds
before leaving Berlin, proposed a secret
treaty with Germany in which that
country was guaranteed certain rights
Although the text of the treaty is not
known. it is said to give the German
empire the greatest possible privileges
amounting almost TO ownership, in the
TransVaal republic.
