 CARE OF THE CHURN.
Should Re Thoroughly scalded After
 Each Churuluu


 One fruitful source of trouble Is the churn. An unclean churn is sure to turn out bad butter. although 1t may appear all right when fresh. says Creamery Journal. The germs are there and will get In their work, and the butter will "go off' in flavor in a short time. A blind man should be able to tell when the churn Is kept clean. There Is an odor which gives it away, and If he has also lost his sense of smell he can still distinguish, if he has the tactile sense. that of touch, de- gently developed. If he can neither see. smell nor feel. he is out of place in a creamery, and so 1t follows that any one fit to run creamery can tell whether the churn Is clean.
 One trouble is that the churn is not always scalded the last thing. It needs to be left scalding hot, so 1t will dry quickly. If cold water is even poured in and used for rinsing after 1t Is thor oughly cleaned and is not scalded after ward. the churn becomes musty and fit for the propagation of mold germs. Hot weather, dampness. lack of air cir. culation and lack of light favor bad flayors and bad odors, and the cream cry man who succeeds Is the one who guards against them, while he who makes firsts, seconds and thirds goes on and wonders what Is the matter. Hot water, the scrub brush and steam are the three guardian angels of the churn to drive away filth. Scald b,. conducting steam into the churn with the churn partially closed. not tight enough to spring the wood. but tight enough to force it Into every crevice. Use discretion. Do not continue steam Ing long enough to shrink and open the joints.

PURE AIR IN CHURCHES.
A Plea For the Proper Ventilation
 of the BuiIdInEs.

Of the Buildings.
 Considering the extent to which the benefits of fresh air have been exploit cd of recent years in connection par ticularly with the cure of phthisis, 1t might naturally be expected that in public places state of affairs would not now be tolerated which Is contrary to the recommendations of medical au- thority. We are all perfectly aware of the necessity for free ventilation. We understand why indlscrlmlnate splitting Is an abominable danger and how close rooms and stuffy omnlbuses and over filed railway carriages Increase the chances of infection even for healthy persons. Moreover, we know that in the presence of an infected person. as where one member of the family Is the subject of pulmonary tuberculosis, a constant supply of pure air in plenty Is I paramount necessity for the health of those who are bound to live under the same roof as the sufferer.
 So much. then. being matter of com mon knowledge. 1t Is little short of marvellous to see in what kind of at- mosphere this enlightened public Is content to confine itself at certain times A visit to the courts of law or to the churches of every denomination might well lead to belief that to these places resorted class of beings for whom fresh air was dangerous thing to be carefully excluded and that only In thick, carboniferous, organically tainted atmosphere could the brain of man discern truth through the maZes of legal bewilderment or his soul re- spond to the solemn claims of reli. gious service.
 There can be no greater mistake than to neglect the conditions of atmos- phere in which mental lahors, be they legal or of any other kind, are under taken. The wcar.ness. the headache. the indifference to food or Inability to assimllate 1t. that are apt to follow a day in the courts or few hours In church are often the result of n foul att mospherc. The theater and the church. viewed from low but practical stand point, have much in common. In mat ters of ventilation. however, the mod ern thcater has advanced In a way which religious communities might im- itate with advantage. There can be nothing unholy in pure atmosphere. The first clergyman who deyotes collection" to the construction of efti- cient ventilation for h.s church will de- serve we'll of his congregation and will most assuredly take an effective step toward increasing its members.-Lan- cet

Mirrors that one can see through are a new invention already coming into use. They are so called ''platinized glass;" being backed with a compound made of 95 per cent of silver and 5 per cent platinum, and, optieally speaking, they are exceedingly curious and in tercsting. Looking into glass of this kind one finds first rate reflection. It is a mirror and nothing more. At the same time a person on tLe other side can see directly through 1t.

,&RAXROADLM 1

An invention for supplying fresh ar for the inside of railway cars carrying fruit, milk or other perishable mer- chandise has been worked out on sim pie basis by Jerry Holly of Chicago. n retired railroad man. No assertion Is made that his invention will take the place of refrigerator cars. It Is ex- pected only to reduce the temperature to the extent that Is possible by pro polling drafts of fresh air through a car from large fans under the floor that are operated by power taken from the axle through cogwheels. The force Of the current of air will vary with the velocity of the car in motion.
 Mir. Holly asserts that the fans will drive out foul mir and keep constant current of cool. fresh air in a car In transit. which will preserve ripe fruit or milk for longer periods than they could te preserved In ordinary closed

With that word which has done so much for others I approach you today. Are you all right with God? No" you say, "I think not. I am sometimes alarmed when I think of him.

The longer you wait the farther on you are and the deeper you are down. Strike out for heaven.

A boatman from the shore put out for the rescue, and he had a big boat, and he got 1t so full It would not hold another person, and as he laid hold of the oars to pull for the shore, leaving hundreds helpless and drowning, he cried out, "Oh, that I had a bigger boatr' Thank God I am not thus limited and that I can promise room for all in this gospel boat.
