MOST PERFECT FOOD.
MIX Contains All the Ingredients
Necessary for the Well Being of
the Human Organism.

Milk is the most perfect food known,
and the only substance provided by
nature that contains all the necessary
constituents required in the human or
ganism. No other single article of
food approaches it in this respect, and
upon no other substance can life be
81 aimed for so long period as upon
II. <. The first demand of the infant
is for milk, but the child is too often
brought to a realization of the deceit
fulness of human nature by being COM
PEELED to accept as a substitute wa
tered combination which gorges the
stomach, but affords little nourish-
nent.
Milk, to the infant, is in every re-
spect the staff of life. In old age there
is no other article of food upon which
SO much reliance can be placed to sus-
tain the diminishing strength of the
vital forces. Bread has long been re-
garded as the staff of life, but it falls
far short in fulfilling the requirements S
of human economy, when compared
with milk, though it supplies many of
the demands of nutrition in pleasant
and palatable form.
The use of milk is coincident with
the earliest history of man, and for
centuries was one of the principal
articles of food. When the children of
Israel were let out of bondage in Egypt
to Canaan, ga land flowing with milk
and honey" only milk was promised; /;
bread was not on the bill of fare. The
use of milk as food is universal; it
is demanded by people all over the
civilized world, therefore it's care and
protection against impurities and
adulterants, by which it is accident
ally or Intentionally contaminated, re.
quires stringent regulations on the
part of the authorities.-N. Y. Weekly

STRENGTH OF INSECTS.
Third of an Inch Long, Lifted
06O Times His own Weight.

Very few people have any idea OF
the strength of the little insects they
see every day. A series of expert
ments made to test the jaw force and
pulling and lifting strength of vari-
Gus kinds of insects gives some curl
Gus points for study. 1t has been
found that a cockchafer can draw IA
times its own weight and the COM
mon honey bee 30 times. From this
it may be argued that, weight for
weight, each of the above-named in
sects is IA and 80 times, respectively,
stronger than the horse, whose
strength as a rule is taxed to its ut
most in drawing it's own weight, as
dead load"
The writer once experimental with
small hard-shelled beetle by put
ting him under a common table tum-
bier. The little creature, not more
than one-third of an inch in length.
was able to move the glass in any di-
rection. After the experiment had
been satisfactorily made, both the
tumbler and the bug were weighed,
whereupon it was found that the lit
tie Hercules had lifted 960 times his
own weight. He did not carry the
weight, of course, but caused 1t to
make some lively motions.

THE CHILDREN IN THE DARK.

Why should the little children be afraid to
go to bed
When night has kindly spread its sable
curtain overhead,
To help the little lashes shield the tired
and drowsy eyes
And guard them from the staring light that
in the sunshine lies?
Go watch the little birdlings calmly sleep
In forests dark
Where all the night there comes no light
In tiniest speck nor spark.
Who ever heard OF animals who pucker lips
and bawl,
And with shrill shrieks of terror for their
mammas loudly squall,
Because when God has spread His veil of
velvet overhead
They fear when II is dark to shut their eyes
and go to bed?
Why, they enjoy the silence and the rest
fulness which seems
To pave their easy pathway to the pleas
ure-land of dreams.
, The night is just as safe as any burning
staring day;
THE stars as good as sunbeams, just as
beautiful and gay:
The softness and the silence help the little
folks to sleep.
And gentle angels DER them their loving
vigils keep;
Those little birds and animals should not
be braver far
Than little human urchins in the night and
darkness are.
Go watch the quiet slumber of the tiny red
papoose,
The animals from elephants to gopher and
mongoose,
The birdlings with their feather beds worn
snugly on each form,
And all from moles to monkeys fearless,
cuddlesome and warm;
Our hardy boys and girls should be
ashamed to kick and growl
With every little visage warped into a
wicked scowl.
Night is the time for sleeping, for nesting
snug and close,
Not for a rebel uproar and acrld face
morose;
Consider velvet darkness wrap which
God has sent
To shut you out from trouble and make
you more content
A civilized young urchin should tongue
and temper keep.
Thank God for sheltering darkness and
contented go to sleep.

AN INTELLIGENT CAT.

one of the brothers raises his hand
in joke toward his sister Pussy will
growl like a dog and, jumping at his
feet, will catch hold with her teeth
and claws. She is jealous of any at.
tentions paid to the members of the
family, and if her mistress calls one
of them Pussy scrambles to get there
first and offer her services. If a
stranger is in the apartment work
ing she will sit right down beside
him and refuse to take her eyes
away from him until he is outside the
door.
Pussy sits beside her owner at
table, and dainty bits are given to
her. If she is occasionally forgotten
she will touch her mistress arm
with her paw, but she is too polite to
''mew" at table. Every morning she
has a drink of lemonade, and she is
so fond of raisins that she will pull
open a bag to get at them.-N. Y.

A KNOWING PUSSY CAT.
shows Extraordinary Devotion for
Her Young Mistress and Is with
Her whenever Possible.

The first days of Pussy's life werc
passed in n grocery store, where n
bag of flour supplied a comfortable
bed. She looked intelligent, but
there was nothing about her to indi-
cate that she would develop into a
regular "watch cat" as she is now
known by her many admirers.
When Pussy was two weeks old she
was presented to her mistress, and
was taken in a tiny basket to her
new home, where she soon appeared
wearing blue ribbon with tinkling
silver bell attached.
Pussy at once developed the most
extraordinary affection for her young
mistress, and determined to get all
of her society that she could. She
promptly let it be understood that
she had firmly decided to sleep on the
foot of her mistress bed, and that
she considered ten o'clock. quite late
enough for anyone to sit up. She es-
tablished custom of calling her mis-
tress at that hour, and continues it
to this day. When the clock strikes
ten, Pussy walks up to her mistress
and, standing in front of her, utters
"meows" of entreaty, then walks to
the bedroom and back again.
One day recently, when all the fam
lily had gone out, her mistress re-
turned and rang the bell. Pussy, who
recognized her special ring, rushed
10 the front door and made frantic
efforts to open it. She had often
watched the servant unfasten tho
chain, and, thinking that was the OBJ
stacle, she jumped up to it, and her
young mistress could hear her swing
ing from it and humping against the
door in vain efforts to open it.
Pussy will not allow any roughness
of tone or manner to her owner. II

It's body is covered with hair, which
holds the air like drops of water, and
when the body is charged with these
air particles, the spider dives down
under the surface, forming a bubble
which it holds between the hind legs
and carries with it. 1t is only in this
manner that it can furnish air for
the interior of its nest, keeping it dry
until the eggs are hatched.
First, of course, the mother spider
builds her nest. This is placed some
distance down in the water and is a
sort of cell spun in the shape of an
egg, having an opening on the under
side. When this is completed, she
rises to the surface and there
charges her body thoroughly with
air. Then once more she dives under
the surface, the water forming a
bubble which gradually swells out
from the body. This she skillfully
holds between her furry hind legs,
firmly, and yet gently, so that it
won't break and escape.
Swimming to the nest, she dis
charges the bubble In it. This, of
course, crowds out some of fhe wa
ter, leaving the top filled with air.
AS the nest is large, requiring a great
deal. the spider makes another and
yet another trip, until the whole in
terror. is free from moisture. By this
simple process she keeps the eggs dry
and furnishes air for the young un-
til they are large enough to swim
out and get it for themselves.
But, as much as this spider lives
under water, it is always dry. No
matter how long it may have been
swimming around under the surface,
the moment it comes to the top there
is no trace of moisture on it. The
reason of this is that the air par
ticles that cling to it's hair keep off
the water and prevent it from soak
ling through the skin. Another
strange thing about it is that it can
swim with great speed, in spite of it's
balloon-like burden. The best way
to watch the water spider is to place
one in vessel filed with water and
containing some water plant. There
it will quickly spin its web, and, II
fed on flies and bugs, lead its aquatic
existence.
The eggs of this spider are laid in
cocoon, shaped something like the
ton of a round dish. 1t generally
contains 100 or more eggs, each one
of which is separated from the 9th.

tered young student whose face he
recognized dimly, having seen it
every day for some weeks in his

hailed his pupil, who was wading
across the street through the mud,

THE WATER SPIDER.
It's Nest Is Kept Thoroughly Dry, Al
though Located Some Distance
Below the Surface.

1t seems strange that a certain
kind of spider is capable of forming
a bubble, taking it down through the
water and discharging it into its nest,
so that the eggs, and later on the
young. are kept dry and given air.
Yet this is what the water spider
does.
Although this spider lives on land,
where it needs plenty of air to
breathe, it is really hatched under
the water and spends a great deal of
its time there beneath the surface.
