grand jury for the past two years was
removed by the board of supervisors
last week in order to make room for the

is competent stenographer, but had to
make way for the appointment of re-

In reply to the Journals query as to
whether democrat board would have

is fact that the board is now composed
of the same gentlemen who appointed
Mr.. Wood to the position last year.
Two or three years ago majority Of the
members of the board were democrats,
yet they appointed several republicans
to better paying positions than that of

THE OLD cow.
Medical Practitioner Tells OF DAN
gers that Lurk in Her Milk.

In my next talk l am going to speak of
the new COW, and I want to make a few
Introductory remarks concerning the dam
gers inherent in the old cow, unintentional
on her part and due to no fault of her own
but saddled upon her by careless owners
No one would think of employing a nurse
for child or a servant for a family with
out a recommendation for good moral
character and a clean bill of health AS far
as morals are concerned a cow is the TYNE
of innocence; that settles that part OF the
recommendation; but as for the cows
health, and as for the healthfulness of her
milk. that is quite another question She
is far, far away, and cannot speak for
herself. She can't even protect herself. I'm
scrupulous farmers Chey are few, let us
hOpe) don't spend much money doctoring
the poor COW, but they do save money by
doctoring the milk; in fact, they may be
said, in a way, to make money by making
milk
1t may be truthfully said that milk is the
universal food. for there is scarcely a ma
ton upon the face of the earth, even in the
remotest corner, where milk is not used in
some form. though ii is not always cows
milk; il may be goats milk or mares milk
With camel's milk, with mares milk and
with asses milk. we have but little TO do
but with cows milk we have much to do.
from the bringing UP of the infant in arms
10 sustaining the invalid, and feeding the
wOrkingman and woman, and nourishing
the aged. 1t is. therefore. of the utmost i'm
pOrtance that milk should be pure and free
from all germs of disease or Injurious
chemical ingredients. The examination of
cows for tuberculosis has done much good.
and even the people who have opposed it,
as some people do every innovation. as an
interference with personal rights. have
acknowledged the value OF this precaution
against the dissemination OF disease. Even
a casual observer. however, in a tour
through the country can but observe the
unkempt. often filthy and dangerous condi-
ton of the COW pasture. the barnyard and
the tie-up where COWS spend most of their
time.

sizes There are the huge Sambur OF the
hills, which correspond TO our red deer,
the beautiful spotted axis deer, which
takes the place of our fallow deer, though
it does not belong to that tribe, and the
small hog deer. There are no Sambur at
the Zoo. They do not do well in England,
though they have been kept for a time in
parks. Lord Powerscourt, for instance,
found that his Sambur deer would keep up
their Indian habits in Ireland, and retire
to the thickest cover In the day time, even
when it wet and damp. Hence they
suffered from the climate and died. For
some reason the Axis, or "cheetuT' do
very well here. Those at the Zoo have
horns reaching almost as far back as their
tails, and are in fine condition. At Woburn
Abbey they live out in the paddock, and
have a most brilliant appearance, their
bright chestnut fawn backs, white spots.

AMERICAN DEER
But America is the great home of large
deer. In the first place comes the wapiti.
Then come the mule deer, with very fine
head, the swamp deer whose ears are filled
with a beautiful arrangement of white hair
like silver lace, and the black-tailed deer.
while in the north are the enormous elk or
moose, and the caribou or American rein
deer: Both these last animals should be
carefully studied. The moose is quite as
remarkable in its way as the elephant and
suggests the same idea of belonging to an
other and more ancient world
The RENDERS horns are perhaps the
largest, in proportion to its size of those
of any deer. 1t has been proposed to use
them for drawing sledges in Scotland on
the moors, and it is quite likely that this
will be done.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about
the deer is the great likeness which the
members of the family have for each other
and the way in which they seem to occur
In all lands except South and Central Afri-
ca, New Zealand and Australia You find
them in islands like Formosa, in hot eli
mates and cold, from the arctic SHOWS TO
the equator, and in such out-of-the-way
places as the little Island of Tobago. All
are beautiful. all are swift of foot and all
are good for food. Consequently I'm most
civilized countries some species are found
half domesticated in parks One of the
rarest kinds Of deer is one kept in a park
by the Emperor of China.

Students and professors at the CI.. vers..y of th.cago held poetry quoting" contest q: the h me of Prof. $ arr the other night. Dr. Starr thinks that poetry contests should be pro- mo;ed as much as athletic competi- tons. He has two students in his c.ass who are noted rivals in quoting poetry. and fer three hours they we'd with each other in giving passages from ancient and modern poets. Prof. Starr was the umpire.
 Nelson C. Field, editor of a newsra- per in Glenwood Springs, la., was the winner of the unique contest by de- featng Mss Lima Nattocks, professor of English in Washburn college, To- peka. Kan. Mir. Field won the contest by score of points 10 3. Each com tes.ant was permitted 10 select five poets, either American or foreign, and then each poet was taken up in turn and the contestants alternately quot cd from his poems until one could quo:e no more. The contestant who first failed to respond with a quota. ton in h:s turn lost the point. Editor Field won on seven poets out of ten, defeating Miss Mattocks on two poets of her own choosing.
 The poets selected by the contest. ants were Goldsmith. Byron, Whitman, Lowell. Emerson. Tennyson. Lonrfel- low. Browning, Wordsworth and Whit. tier. In the contest over the poet Browning the contestants consumed more than an hour hurlin9 bits of verse at each other.
