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 a 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
its 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 its anatomy, and consti-
tutes paddles by means of which the Or
ganism can change it's 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 it's host There is
good reason to believe that this pike
louise" is not a 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

SCIENCE AND OLD AGE.
Only One Man In a Million at Pres
ent Dies in IA 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 Putnam's Magazine.
The fact is that only one man in a
million at present dies a natural
death. We should live till 14O years of
age. A man who expires at 20 or so 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 a 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
us one by one. The child cries for
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 ad-
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
days.

MILK MADE INTO POWDER.
Recent Invention of Which Swedish
Manufacturers Are Preparing
to Take Advantage.

An important movement appears to
De on foot in Sweden for the conversion
OF skinned or separated milk into a
dry powder, by means of a machine
called an ''exsiccator," invented by DR..
Martin Ekenberg. The price of one of
these machines to evaporate 528 gallons
OF milk in ten hours is stated somewhat
vaguely to be from G220 to G280. saws
the London Standard. 1t was recently
reported that ten sets of apparatus were
being erected in Swedish dairy facto-
rles 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,OO0,000 gallons, the supply Of
the powder from that country alone, if
1t proves a 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
it 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, a large quantity of it can be
transported in a small compass. 1t is
stated that the powder will keep good
for an Indefinitely long period.

ested in seeing the oyster interest
encouraged by legislation granting
leases to barren bottoms.
J. p. Wilson expressed great
interest in the subject this morning:
What property rights have people
along the water courses. Capt.
Sylvester stated that he had privi-
leges for a certain distance adjoin-
ing property, but not over the bay.
Henry Coudon recommended
that a committee of three be
appointed to draw up resolutions
recommending the improvement of
the barren bottoms. Henry Cou-
don, j. P. Wilson and Alfred Nc
Vey are so appointed.
On invitation Capt. Sylvester
spoke in behalf OF the Agricultural
College. Went to Guelph, Ont,
Canada, to investigate English
agriculture. The directors in con-
Quoting Institute meetings devote
the whole of June, each day by
separate sections. Six years ago
Dominion of Canada imported all
the cheese she used. Now she ex-
ports several millions of dollars
annually, and the same with stock
and other things, altogether from
efforts of Guelph College. In going
from Guelph to Michigan found
the same condition, and there to
Ithica, but none so complete as at
Guelph. He gave most earnest
plea for the betterment of the
Maryland College showing the ne
cessity of improving its accommo-
dations so to make its work the
equal to any in the country.
A vote of thanks was extended
to Capt. Sylvester.
The meeting then adjourned to
