On the night Of September IL the Brit

an army of $4,000 marched silently and
in the dark toward Tel-el-Kebir. The

ing been discovered. There the lines
were formed and the battle began. The
English carried the intrenchments and
completely routed the Egyptians.
Thousands of the latter were killed
and about 5000 taken prisoners. Ara
bi Pasha was taken prisoner two days

A Summer Home for 7-esidenfs

Hotel men at Atlantic City have sus-
gested that it would be an excellent
plan for Congress to build at that place
n handsome cottage to serve as the
summer residence of the President.
There is no doubt that II Atlantic City
were made kind OF summer capital
the hotel men would be benefited con-
siderably. Real estate would be likely
to advance in value. There are many
men who would wish to build cottages
in the neighborhood of the presidential
cottage. But If Congress were to show
signs Of willingness to take up this
question other towns and other states
would present their claims. There
would be almost as much rivalry as
there was when the location of the fed
eral capital under consideration. New
York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,. and
other states have summer resorts
which would like to be the Presidents
summer headquarters. 1t is better to
let whoever may be President select
his own sumner home. and not attempt

More on kocb:s Theory.

AS those who have made a study OF
tuberculosis surmised, Prof. Koch was
by no means SO emphatic in his dec
laration that tuberculosis could not be
conveyed from cattle to mankind as
the first reports indicated. The basis
of his remarks was the fact that he
had failed nineteen times to convey
human tuberculosis to cattle. He
never has tried. and we believe that
no one else has tried. to convey bovine
tuberculosis to man. All, then, that
Prof. Koch really seemed to prove was
that human tuberculosis was not
transmissible to cattle-a fact of no
great hygienic Importance, compara-
lively speaking. These failures OF his
however, suggested to him the possi-
bility that the germ of bovine tuber-
losis were not identical. and that in
ferentially, therefore, bovine tuber-
culosis from man to man has not been
experimentally proved. and rests on
foundations hardly more solid than
those which support the belief that
bovine tuberculosis can be conveyed
to man by meat and by milk, one is as
much entitled to belief until the neg
ative Is proved as the other. No one
doubts the transmissibility of tuber-
culosis from man to man, and few can
therefore doubt the transmissibility Of
tuberculosis from cattle to man.

Buttermilk drinking, says the Chica-

transitory and irrational. Milk is the
natural diet of mammals. After the
digestive powers attain maturity sweet
milk, while always wholesome, ell
forces n slower process of assimila-
tiol than in infancy. Before it is COM

triton 1t must undergo changes which
may be wrought in the laboratory of
