THE ULTIMATE PASSION. BY Philip
verril Mighels. PIP 3G6. $1.50. Har-
per and Brothers, New York.
The very title Of this book aroused our
suspicion. The phrase, THE Ultimate
Passion" carries with It a vague air OF
spectous rhetoric, as of man more
concerned with the sonorousness OF words
than with their precise meaning, which
rang somewhat hollowly on our sensitive
ear; and we were not too greatly sur
prised to find much more or this same
sort OF thing through the pages OF the
book Mr.. Mighels is afflicted with q
singular infelicity In the choice and ar
.rangement Of words, and In the construc-
ton of sentences he Isl with equal un-
happiness drawn irresistibly to the aWk-
ward, the ineffective and the trivial
Here are u few sentences which Will help
to illustrate what we mean:

''He paced the walks of Central Park for
seven solid hours, wrapped IN storm

1T almost seemed ms If he imposed
cruelty, a tyranny upon the enslnved en-

cation to his fretted being, that no longer

grudging as to deny that Mr.. Mighels has
hit upon an absolutely novel phrase Tor
describing Shakespearean production.

How to Prevent Milk Infection.

g HOW to FreVent MIX 5lnfeCtlOn. 4
Thousands of children are annually ex-j
posed to unnecessary and perfectly
to provide for the proper inspection of
milk. 1t Is we'll enough to insist that
the chemical constituents shall be pres
ent in sufficient quantlty-or, in every
day Language, that the milk shall not be
watered. But there are many things
that can be done to milk with moro
harm than the addition of pure water.
The most ignorant would prefer an adj
mixture Of a large amount Of water to
a small amount of dirt, or that much
smaller number of disease bearing germs
that result from handling milk in unsan-
itary surroundings. 1t would hardly be
overstating the case to say that ninety
five per cent. OF the diseases contracted
from using milk come from germs which
have been allowed to get IN the milk
at or after the time of milking. To
prevent this and TO remove this source of
danger, every possible precaution should
be taken to insure the scrupulous clean
Illness Of dairy-the COWS, the recepta-
cles and the men who do the milking.
Regulation and inspection can do much
but the first and essential step would
BIO to make such bacteriolog cal exam
nation as to show whether any impurl-
ties, organic or inorganic. were present
TO this end, the Council should perfect
as rapidly as possible the whole system
of Inspecting and testing the milk sold
or used from private herds in this city
In addition. the cows which supply the
milk should be regularly inspected to
see that they are free from tuberculosis.

A Hint TO Tennessee.

we are having a fairly interesting and
lively contest for the United States sem
Atorshlp in Virginia, but If the prealc-
lions of the Tennessee papers count FOR
anything, 1t is nothing compared to the
lively Zine In store for the good people
of that State. Ex-Governor Bob Taylor
the man who once iiddled himself into
Congress, and who in later years, in one
of the most spectacular campaigns ever
known in his State, beat his own brother
for the govcrnorship, has announced HIM
self a candidate in opposition to the pres
ent senator, Edward Carmack, who
wishes 20 be his own successor. The Ten
ncssee Democrats may decide to follow
the example Of their brethren In Virginia
and have n senatorial primary election.
Quite likely they will, but whether they
do or not, Taylor and Carmack will stump
the State Concerning the coming con-
test, the Memphis Conmercinl-Appea
says:
what these two men do not know about
stump speaking has been left out of the
book. Bob Taylor Is dear to the heart
OF every Tennesseean; Senator Carmack
is admired for his brillancy. Bob lay
lor has pathos and humor; Senator Car
mack possesses lampoon and wit. The
people will walk miles to hear them. 1t
will be more entertaining than anything
that mere art may produce, blending the
comedy Of life with the severe and noble
ambition OF mankind. 81
1.-THE mere fact that Bob Taylor Is COM
ing to ask the people for some votes, and
that these votes must be against Ned
Carmack. llas set everybody and every
thing into a thrilling sensation, and the
prediction from all sides is that Tennes-i
see is going to enjoy herself and, then go
to the polls and vote against the first

permits himself to lose his temper
