SOMETHING ABOUT MILK.
When 1t Is Impure the Consumption
of 1t Is Attended with Much
Danger.

A strange fluid is milk. Pure, fresh
milk from a healthy COW is almost the
ideal food for young and Old
nutritious, palatable, and cleansing to
the system; but impure or contaminat-
ed milk is full of danger, and there is
no substance used for food which af-
fords a more fertile soil for the growth
of almost all kinds of disease-produc-
ing bacteria, says Youths Companion,
Not long ago medical society in
New York appointed q committee to
examine into the milk supply of that
city. What they found was startling
They began with the assumption that
good milk should not contain more
than 10000 bacteria in cubic cent?
meter (about Is drops), but the num-
Der found in many samples which they
100000 in winter, and from ESQ. 900 to
516,000,000 in summer. Fortunately,
most of these bacteria are not disease
causing. If they We're few of us would
be here to tell the tale; but even the
most harmless of them probably in
duce changes in the character of the
milk, so that it's consumption, at least
by infants, causes serious and some
times fatal disease.
So much has been said about DR.,
Koch's assertion that there is no dan
ger of passing tuberculosis from cows
to children by means of milk that
there is danger OF forgetting that
ut haI iii
be spread by milk. Many epidemics
of typhoid fever have been traced to
an impure milk supply, especially
when the ''cow with the iron tail" has
helped to dilute it; and it is believed
that diphtheria and scarlet fever are
also sometimes conveyed by it.
One cannot wonder at the presence
of SO many bacteria in milk when it is
remembered from what n distance it is
brought to a large city-sometimes
30 miles, and seldom not less than 20.
This means that the milk when deliy-
cred at the consumers house is from
one to two days old.
Many kinds of microbes increase
with great rapidity, so that the ele-
mcnt of time is most important: but
the presence Of bacteria in such num-
bers as were found in the milk in New
York city means that it was dirty from
the start, and that it had not been kept
cool during transit. The addition of
personalities to milk is merely an at
tempt to avoid one danger by the in
PRODUCTION of another. 1t is prohibit
cd in most cities, and ought to be in H..

NEGRO AND THE CHICKENS.
He Shared Them with His Old Mis-.
tress to Whom They Be-
lOnEed,

speaking of the old-time negro re.
minds me OF faithful fellow who was
in the service of my family up to the
time he died. said an Old citizen, ac-
cording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat. "We called him Big Foot
Pete, and his name was descriptive of
a physical fact, for he had the biggest
feet ever saw on human being. He
was q fellow of many virtues, and,
like all the darkies of the old stock,
he had his white folks, as he called
them, and from the latest arrival up
they were simply the salt of the earth.
Every old negro believed he worked
for the best people in the world, a
pride which is lacking in the servants
of the younger generation, and u
thing, too, which detracts much from
their usefulness. Unless the servant
takes a pride in the family there is no
pride in the work and conse-
quently the work is of Il poor kind. But
Big Foot Pete belonged to the old
school and he was one of the most
faithful fellows l ever saw.
HE was employed as cook by my
grandmother, and he thought she was
| the greatest woman on earth. She
lived in the country and raised nearly
everything that was needed on the
place, and always had the old smoke
house we'll filed with the substantial
goods of life. Big Foot Pete had free
access to the smokehouse, and the
trust reposed in him was never abused.
but he had one weakness. He could
not keep away from the henhousc. He
was fond of chickens and knew just
where to get them. Pete would get
down to the home of his old mistress
early every morning to cook breakfast.
Every two or three mornings he would
bring down with him half of a
| chicken, and he would broil it nicely
for the old mistress, humoring her
with the extra dish at the breakfast
hour. The other part of the chicken
Pete would eat before he left, or may
be the night before. ole miss, he said
one morning, I fotch yo' some mo-
chicken an Is done Drilled it for yo'
breakfuss.'
"This had been going on for some
time, and the old lady was little
suspicious. Look here, Pete she said,
good-naturedly you scoundrel, be-
lieve you are stealing my chickens
Pete shook with laughter. Lawd,
Lawd, old MISS he said. and that was
all he did say. He just kept laughing,
He had been stealing chickens from the
henhousc of his old mistress, but he
was good enough to divide, for he
never got anything in life that he was
not willing to divide with his white
folks, and he knew that no hair on his
head would be harmed if he stole the
whole henhouse."

NEW MONEY FOR OLD.
Afrominent London Bankers Collec.
ton of Historical and Curious
BanknOtes.

On Aladdin's principle of giving
new lamps for old, Mr.. Moberly Phil
lips, an associate of the Institute of
bankers, is preparing at any time to
give new notes, or their equivalent in
gold, for old notes which have some
interesting history attached to them.
says the London Chronicle. Mr.. Phil
lips is the only collector of bank
notes in the country, and probably
out of it, and his collection amounts
to 500, more or less. Some of the
more valuable of his specimens he
exhibited the other evening at q
meeting of the Institute of Bankers
IN the London institution. One of the
most interesting was note issued
by Maj. Gen. Baden-Powell during the
siege of Mafeking. It is numbered
766, dated March, 1900, and printed
IN green ink on an obviously print
tive machine. Another, with, if pos
slble, still more fascinating history,
was currency note, with Arabic let
tering, printed by Gen. Gordon when
he was besieged in Khartoum. OF
Bank of England notes, Mr. Phillips
has specimens of the face value Of
one pound not unlike in appearance
the Scotch 20-shilling notes Of the
present day.
In times of emergency, when coin
was scarce, paper money of as low
valEe as five shillings was issued
by traders. But there has been a
lower depth even than this, cards and
paper tickets having been resorted to
IN some places for as small sum as
one shilling. Another interesting
special issue, shown by Mr.. Phillips,
was that of the Birmingham work
house. These notes were circulated
by the overseers for various small
amounts, "for the convenience OF
paying the poor" and payment was
made when eight two-shilling six
pence or four tive-shilling notes were
brought together. In one corner
piece OF these notes is picture of
Charity nursing young children. AS
showing the length of time during
which notes may remain in currency.
Mr.. Phillips mentioned that he had
Scotch note for G12, dated 1881,
and the bank which issued it offered
to change it for him. Being col
lector, MIR. Phillips preferred to keep
his ancient bit of paper.
In the matter Of diminutive bank
notes correspondent sends an ac-
count OF curious note which he has
in his possession. 1t is card meas
uring two by two and one-half inches,
on one side of which is twice printed
the word "twopence," while on the
other side the sum is printed in
words and figures around the border.
In the middle is the following: az
promise to pay the bearer, on de-
mand, twopencc. BY order of the
Corporation of the City of New York,
Feb. 26, 179o.--D. Phoenix, City Treas
