SUFFER FROM PARASITES.
Some of the Affections of the Flesh
to Which Animals Become
Subject.

All animals, both great and small,
suffer as severely as mammals in the
matter of parasites, according to Les
lies Monthly. The parasite of the os-
trich is formidable looking example.
The most interesting Of the pigeons
parasites is the one known as the slen-
der pigeon louise, which is supposed to
do good service to the bird by thinning
it's body plumage as the weather grows
hot. Fish also have parasites. The
legs of one variety which inhabits the
carp and pike are attached to the pos
terror part of It's anatomy, and consti-
tutes paddles by means Of which the or
ganism can change its host and depart
to pay it's attentions to another fish.
Two dark spots in the forepart OF
the creature represent the first pair Of
legs, which have been converted into
suckers, by means of which the organ
ism retains hold of its host. There is
good reason to believe that this pike
louise" is not parasitic torment, but
rather a desired attendant. In all prob
ability it derives it's nOurishment from
the mucous products secreted by the
skin of the fish. And when it has sat-
isfactorily arranged the toilet OF one
fish it abandons it for another which
needs its help.

SCIENCE AND OLD AGE.
Only One Man In a Million at Pres
ent Dies in a. Natural
Manner.

From 20 to so man should live for
himself and his family; from so to 100
for science and humanity, and after a
hundred for the state Honored, USE
full, in full possession of all his facul-
ties at six score years and ten, the
graybeard of the approaching future
will be among the most enviable of
mankind. For the fear of death is an
alteration, says Prof Ellie Metchnikoff,
in Putnams Magazine.
The fact is that only one man in a
million at present dies natural
death. We should live till 140 years of
age. A man who expires at 70 or 80 is
the victim of accident, cut off in the
flower of his days, and he unconscious
ly resents being deprived of the SO
years or SO which nature owes him.
Leave him little longer and in due
time he will desire to die, as child at
dusk desires to sleep. The sandman
will pass! All our instincts drop from
mothers milk; the idea of such an ALI
ment is repugnant to the adult The
desire for sweets, for play, for love and
love-making, for. long walks and adj
ventures are all impulses that have
their day and pass. And the wish to
live is an instinct which fails also with
safety. Only at present none of us
live long enough to be satiated with

MILK MADE INTO POWDER.

An important movement appears to
Of skinned or separated milk into a
dry powder, by means Of machine
called an "exsiccator," invented by DR..
Martin Ekenberg. The price of one of
these machines to evaporate 52S gallons
81 milk In ten hours is stated somewhat
vaguely to be from ego to ESQ, says
the LONDON Standard. 1t was recently
reported that ten sets of apparatus were
being erected in Swedish dairy facto-
ries and that inquiries about the ma
chine from butter makers in Sweden
and foreign countries were numerous.
The powder, when dissolved in prop
er quantity Of water of the right
temperature, resumes the appearance
and other characteristics of milk. AS
the annual output of separated and
skinned milk in Sweden is estimated at
over 15S,O00,000 gallons, the supply of
the powder from that country alone, if
1t proves commercial success, will be
very large, and in all other countries
where butter is extensively produced
the difficulty of finding a profitable use
for this product is felt, as the return for
1t when it is used as food for calves or
pigs is small. Although separated milk
is almost devoid of fat, it's alimentary
value Is considerable, and, in the form
of powder, large quantity of it can be
transported in small compass. 1t Is
stated that the powder will keep good
for an Indefinitely long period.

The importance of the communication,
II 1t accurately reflects the attitude OF
the Chinese government, is fully realized
in Washington. However, impressed
with the heretofore expressed willing
ness of China to open Manchurian ports,
reinforced by the assurances given to
this government by Russia along the
same lines, the officials continue firm in
their belief that the situation ultimately
will be clarified and the efforts OF the
United States be rewarded. In some
quarters the objections urged to the
opening of ports in Prince Ching's COM
munication are regarded as a mere
diplomatic bubble designed perhaps to
placate Russia No matter what fresh
obstacle may intervene our government,
firm in the conviction that the princi-
pie of the open door in China should be
enjoyed by all nations, will continue to
exert It's influence in that direction.
