A TRIBUTE TO GEN. sTERNBEPe

Sternberg is 10 be celebrated BY : COM

New York on June 12 General Stern
berg's services to the country and TO
the profession are too well known to
need detailed description. Entering the
army in 1851, DR.. Sternberg served
through the civil war. and rose by sue
cessive grades until, in 1893, he became
surgeon general, an appointment which
recognized the merits of his special ser
vices to the corps. In this office he has
borne great responsibilities and has i'm
proved in many ways the organization
of the medical corps, notably by the es-
adjustment Of the Army Medical
School. In the work of the general pro-
fession he has been deeply interested.
Not only have his contributions to the
science of bacterioIogy been important
and numerous, but in this country he
has, by strong personal efforts and By
active work in cur societies. stimulated
the scientific study of medicine and
fostered and encouraged those re-
searches which, in the case of malaria,
yellow fever. and other infectious dis
eases have proved to be of such enor-
nous value During a long series OF
years DR.. SteTnberg has been A warm
advocate Of all measures 10 promote
the public health. and has unseIfshIy
devoted much time to the work az ma
tional and local health societies and to
the establishment of efficient legislation.
His contributions to our knowledge Of
disinfectants are of special importance.

order Of the Sons and Daughters OF
the Revolution and b. other large and
influential organizations all over the
country. Especially has the Grand
Army been solieitous that work on
the bridge should be begun so as to
make it possible to lay the corner
stone during the coming grand en-
caInpmeni IN this city next fall. It IS
difficult to understand why, IN the
face OF the desire of men whose wishes
respecting any patriotic object should
carry much weight; there should be
reason TO apprehend the failure OF
the amendment IN question.
The Memorial Bridge is advocated
by the people and by the press of the
country, and it seems almost absurd

Of some obstrnetionists should be per
mitted to prevail against II.

them would give a tremendous velocity

deadly explosives known It would be
cheap, too, to build and operate, for
practically II would never wear out,
while the big guns of today have an
average life OF but 100 shots It would
be noiseless and smokeIess, and as

the most part, battery could operats

lessor OF physics at Christ.anfa, it may
be set down that the fr-ention is not a
able yarn. At any rate, we hope 1t
isn't. A gun that will shoot ninety miles

who make war-Congressmen and kings

HURRY UP THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE

4 provision has been inserted IN
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
now IN conference. for beginning the
work on the Memorial Bridge. APP
parently the Senate has appreciated
both the practical necessity and the
esthetic appropriateness Of such a
structure, and the impression prevails
that the sentiment generally of the
members of the other branch Of Con
gress Is not unfavorabIe to the pro
jeet. It Is all the more remarkable
and Gisquieting, therefore, to hear it
rumored that certain sinister infu-
ences are at work to Illustrate the final
adoption Of the amendment.
This alleged obstruction Is all the
more singular IN view Of the fact that
the building Of this bridge has been
urged upon patriotic grounds by the

HOW TO TREAT THE HORSE

should be free ventilation. Lime
spread on the floor neutralizes bad
odors, and for a protection from the
flies rub the animal with a cloth

walnut leaves is also effective.
Great care should be used to see
that the harness is perfectly fitted TO
a horse and that there is nothing to
cause irritation. In this way You will
avoid chafng and abra5ions. In case
an animal is CALLED, air-slacked lime
will be found a good remedy.

Frequent watering in small quantities

The ~sun-shades introduced last
summer by the society have proved of
great benefit by protecting the heads
of horses from the direct rays of the
sun. 1t is hoped that they will be-
come more popular this summer
When it is possible leave your horse
IN the shade. The whole question can
best be summed up by this golden
rule for horsemen: "Treat q horse in

CAPACITY.

A man who was called on TO address a
Sunday school in a Pennsylvania town
took the familiar theme Of the children
who Knocked Elijah on his journey to
BetheI-how the youngsters tainted the
poor old prophet. and how they were
punished when two she bears came out
of the wood and ate forty-two Of them.
"And now, children" said the speaker.
wishing to learn if his talk had pro-
duce5 any moral effect, what does this
story sbow?" Please. sir came from
a little girl well down in front. 1T shows

This strong desire for education Is remarkable and
must inevitably result in the upbuildng of the people

The South African Claimant.

! In spite OF solomon's assertion
| that there is nothing new under the
sun-and perhaps there was not in
his time-thIngs are continually
cropping up which are, if not new,
at least extremely novel. One came
to light in Great Britain the other
day, in the shape of letter to Mr..
Labouchere, of Truth. It pre-
sented a new claimant to the Eng
lish throne.
The writer of the letter was evil
IDENTIFY a Scotch Jacobite. for he
seemed to remember very clearly
the circumstances in which the pres
ent royal family of England came
to the throne, and he reminded the
public that this family was chosen.
not by the rule of primogeniture OF
ability, but simply as fulfilling the
conditions of the royal line aud the
Protestant religion He suggests
that the family can be set aside at
any time, and that a candidate can
now be named who is Protestant
and OF the royal line, and whose
election to the throne would give
satisfaction to some of the United
Kingdom and most of the United
States. This candidate is President
Kruger Of the TransyaaI Republic
President Kruger is descended
from Rob Roy. Rob Roy was de-
scendant. on his mothers side. Of Sir
Duncan Campbell of GIenorchy, who
was eighth in descent from Edward
III of England and seventh in de-
scent from Robert II of Scotland,
first of the Stuart kings. That
Kruger is a Protestant there is no
sort of doubt.
1t Is not known that President
Kruger wishes to pose as Mulberry
Sellers. If, indeed. he ever heard of
that parsonage. but if he does want
to play the role, here is his chance.
The advent of this claimant would
be Interesting from several points
Of view, not the least interesting
circumstance being the possibility
that the empire might become a re-
public or the republican an emperor.
One or the other would have to hap

to lose any sleep over the matter

ONE OF THE ESSENTIALS OF
THE PUBLIC FOOD SUPPL
By Senator WILLIAM M. STEWART of Nevada

II HERE IS no article Of food the
purity Of which is so difficult to
preserve as milk and cream.
Warm milk absorbs and conceals
impurities from its surroundings more
rapidly than almost any other sub
stance. and the color of milk conceals
dirt as completely as the liquid con-
ceals poison.
No examination of milk offered for
sale in the market will furnish even
reasonable Sc irity for the safety Of
the health of IN consumers The source
Of milk is the dairy farm. The stables
OF the dairy farm must be well venti-
lated, completely severed and con-
stantly cleaned and deodorized with
liEae or some other substance.
All unhealthy COWS must be removed
from the herd The breath and saliva
from sick cows fills the stable with
poisonous dust, which the milk alb
serbs. The cows must be well bedded
and cleaned, and they must have an
abundance OF pure water and whole
some food Any neglect in these re-
spects will contaminate the milk.
One Of the greatest inventions Of mod
ern times in the dairy line is the milk
separator. which extracts the cream
from the milk. but this is not its most
important function. Whether the milk
and cream are to be kept separate or
not. there can be no really pure milk
which has not been run through the
separator. 1t may then be run together
and remixed If desired
