Personalities in En- gland.

1t is entirely probable that law
will be passed in England at an early
date permitting the use of boraX In
butter TO the extent of one-haf or one
per cent. The same law will prohibit
the use of any preservative in milk.
On January 10, 1899, Parliament
passed law creating a commission to
investigate the harmfulness or harm
lessness of personalities in butter and
milk. This commission has been at
work for over two years collecting evil
dence and making experiments. 1t
has sought information not only In
England but in foreign countries. Inc
report that it will make to Parliament
is known and it is believed the re-
port will result in the law mentioned.
The important thing about 1t is that
it will prevent the use of preserVa-
tives in milk. That is the substance
largely used as food, especially by In
valids anG children. No person eats
enough butter at any one time to be
greatly harmed by the one-half per
ceat of borax in it. But with milk it
is entirely different. 1t is far more
likely to spoil than butter and this
fact induces recklessness on the part
of people using preservatives in it.
It's use in butter should not, however,
be encouraged. Butter can be kept
without it, provided it was made in
cleanly manner and from clean mate
rails. Perhaps the English favor for
conservatives in butter is due to de-
sire to encourage the import OF butter
from the colonies, especially Austria
liza and New Zealand. Those countries
cannot ship butter to England with
out the use of some other preservative
than cold. The Danes have been urging
this as a reason for the purchase OF
Danish rather than colonial butter.
We believe, however, that the Eng
lish people will still prefer to buy but
ter without any preservative In 1t.

THEIR DIGESTION is GOOD.
Boys Sometimes Eat as Much as
Dozen Grown Persons.


Dozen Grown Persons.
. The appetite of the average small boy
.Iz. one of the marvels of the century.
An English school-master who has
-laza q special study IF the gormandiz-
l1E capacity OF his pupils -s3stifies that
whsle he found Il sHPetaoandance of
capacity. there was actually little or
no limit. Perhaps, after rich cake,
both fruit and plain. the first favor,
according to the schOol-nastar, is con-
densed milk. This is often eaten with
out spoon by simply making TWO
small holes in the top of the can and
placing the lips against them. Then
after this came chocolates, chocolate
cream, chocolate candy, chocolate
cake. ct may be thought l am ex-
aggerating," he says, when l say that
1 have seen a boy of ten. years eat
in a single afternoon enough food to
satisfy an adult party of twelve per-
| sons l have myself known little,
| frail boy to eat portion OF a rlch
| cake, a third of a one-pound can of
condensed milk, four ounces of mixed
chocolate, a handful of assorted
| sweets, two oranges, one apple, four
| gingerbread cakes, dozen Brazil nuts
and two large pieces of peppermint
candy. Did it make him i'll? Did he
lie down and await the coming of the
medical man with the stomach pump?
Not he; he just had one or two faint
symptoms of uneasiness which he
quickly dispelled by few well-drawn
| gapes, much after the manner OF
sleeping baby. Then he walked about
| for a time and presently accepted an
invitation to join in game of ball.
| The school-master's observations have
led to the very natural deduction that
| a boys condition is in many ways
different from that OF the trained
strong man The latter could not eat
the things that a boy could because
his fitness is mainly muscular, While
the boys is, in addition to being mus
cular organic. The man may have a
sluggish liver, or faulty kidneys, and
still be a strong man. but the boy
who runs and romps and turns somer-
saults and shouts and laughs and
twists and turns and shouts hasn't a
single blemish.-Chcago Chronicle.

WAFER FOR THE HOLY CITY.
Jerusalem Il Now Supplied by a System
of Modern Designs.

Jerusalem
of Modern Designs.
The Holy Land has it's railways,
electric lights and American wind
mills. and now Jerusalem is about to
get a supply of good drinking water
In ancient times the city of David
was we'll supplied. The remains OF
equeducts and reservoirs show this.
But since the Turks day the people
OF Jerusalem have been dependent
on the scanty and often polluted &C
cumulations of rain water in the rock
hewn cistern beneath their feet. Even
this supply has recently failed, says
a correspondence the London Times,
owing to want of rain. Distress and
sickness became so general that the
Turkish governor has at length been
induced to sanction the purchase of
iron pipe to bring water from Ain
Salah, or the sealed fountain" at
Solomon's pools, about nine miles
south of Jerusalem. A pipe six inches
in diameter will bring 5000 skins
of water a day for distribution at
fountains supplied with faucets.
Solomon, in his famous Song speaks
Of this secret spring, now turned to
use. my beloved he says, as quoted
by the Times correspondent, is like
a spring shut up, fountain sealed.
1t is deep-down subterranean spring,
which has, from the time of Solomon,
flowed through the arched tunnel built
by him to the distributing chamber
or reservoir near the northwest corner
of the highest of Solomon's pools.
Half a century ago the location of
this hidden" spring which was still,
as in Solomon's time, flowing into the
reservoir mentioned was unknown.
The tunnel is rooted by stones lean
| ing against each other like an inverted
| V, the primitive form of the arch,
| which is also seen in the roof of the
queens chamber of the great pyramid.
! The entrance to this tunnel from the
| spring is one of the oldest structures
in existence. The piping is to be laid
along the old aqueduct which former
| ly, from the time of Solomon, brought
| this same water to the temple area.
| There are eleven or twelve ancient
| fountains here and there in the city,
| long unused, but now to be utilized. and
| from which the water may be drawn
| free to all, several taps being attached
to each ountain.-Baltimor Sun.

Eyaporation from Eggs.

The evaporation from eggs during
incubation is a factor that has been
little studied, though it is evidently
of great Importance. The observations
that have been made have shown the
evaporation to be comparatively great
and surprisingly uneven. Why one
egg should evaporate SO per cent more
water than another is hard to under
stand. The Rhode Island station In
one of it's reports on this matter says:
The average weight of the three eggs
from which goslings were Matched was
6.0O53 OF. at the beginning of incuba-
ton, and the average weight OF the
goslings when hstched was 3.s913 o.,
showing an average loss of 2.114 OF.
during incubation. The individual
losses were as follows: Egg No. lost

Trouble with Ducks.

From the Farmers Review: What is
the matter with my ducks? had ffty
Pekin ducks. They were all right In
the summer. About one month ago
they began to give out in their legs.
Their wings droop and they cannot
walk. They eat all right, but after
time they die. I have lost five and
think that another will die. The last
one that died had some fever apd
low quack. I have fed mostly corn,
but am feeding bran and beef meal
in the morning and corn at night. l
keep the ducks in part of the hen
house, on the ground floor.-Fred King
Lake County, Illinois. VIII
some of our duck raisers throw some
light on the problem? We believe the
trouble was due to the excessive feed
ing of corn, and now that tie feed has
been changed the trouble should disap'
pear.
