uflc statement of the extent to which the
public health Is menaced and the loss of
life in children greatly increased by the
unsanitary methods of the ordinary dairy
DIR. n. p. Wood, at the meeting of the
Franklin District Medical society pro-
ceeded to point out the duty Of the pro-
fession to aid in the common information
and to secure the use Of sanitary methods
in handling the milk supply.
What can be accomplished he showed
by the success of the city of Rochester
N. Y, where a city station was estab-
lished on dairy farm, put under the d.
recuon of a nurse and three assistants
and the product sold at a reasonable
price, the milk so produced having less
than 10000 bacteria, one fifueth of the
number found In ordinary milk The
result was that for eight years the loss
of life in children has been reduced to
S64, whereas 1t was previously 1744 in the
same period with a population smaller by
10000.
DR.. Wood described the methods of
milk handling. placing emphasis on the
Importance of cleanliness from the be-
ginning. He described the model dairy
as one where the cows are in good con-
dition, free from disease and frequently
examined by a skilled veterinarian who
removes any suspicious animals; where
none but wholesome food is used; where
the stable Is kept thoroughly lighted
ventilated and cleaned; where the cows
are kept clean and comfortable where
the attendants are healthy and scrupu-
lousy clean; where all utensils are steri-
lized daily and always after being used;
where great care is used to prevent the
milk from contamination; where the milk
is promptly cooled and contains less than
one thousandth part as many bacteria
as are found In much of the milk regular
ly sold in our cities and towns. The use
shipping of the milk on ice.
DIR. Wood charged the medical pro-
fession with not being as active in the
agitation for healthful milk as 1t should
be and closed his paper with the ques-
ton whether its members should be ex-
celled or led by the laity in the move
ment
Papers on professional subjects were
read at the meeting by Drs. Cram and
Canedy. The society dlned at the Man
sion House. There were present aside
from these, Drs. Holton and Bowker of

THE PADDLE ON THE WALL.

Wild winter night Outside a boet
OF boreal trumpets blow,
AND high above the window sill
Piles up December snow.
across the way the gasllght falls
Thro eddylng snow waves where
town-imprisoned, sapless tree
In anger falls the air.
Strange scene to rouse dormant peni
Strange hour to breed q sonRl
Strange that the chill and feathered gal,
Brings May and June along!
Yet, housed where glowing firelogs maxi
weird shadows rise and ebb,
l needs must weave q thread OF rhyme
In fancys airy web.
And as / take the shuttle up
The fields and forests call,
And 10! a halo gathers round
That paddle on the wall.
No longer Is 1t winter time,-
The feathered gale is still;
And squirrels whisk away the snow
That heaped the window sill.
Dear woodland haunts break into view,
And many a shaggy tree
In yearning spirit comradeship
Holds out its arms to me.
And once again my soul rolls OF
The man-made ills of life,
And Natures chorus swells above
Her basso notes of strife.
To thee, o wilds and cliffs and streams,
My unleashed spirit turns
And roams where Natures bosom hides
Beneath her laoe-work fernsl
Blow, Boreas, blow! l only hear
The hermit thrushs call,
And see the halo broaden round
The paddle on the wall.
And straightway memory takes flight
Nor folds her wing until
She spies a cabin nesting In
The shadow of Bald Hill.
'Tis loosely boarded. weather stained,
And light and wind sift through
The cracks and holes woodpeckers make
In beating their tattoo.
Beech, birch and maple, mountain ash,
That lovingly o'erlean,
Inweave with spruce and fir to stretch
A canopy of green
A swinging land Of refuge where
Tame birds and squirrels go,
When startled by some stranger from
Free rations down below.
Rage, winter storml Still do l hear
The wild swamp robin call,
And forty summers cluster round
The paddle on the wall.
Behold the timbers, trophy hung;
Hear boats and rods declare
With pipes and blankets and what not
That comfort reigneth therel
Aye here's the throne-this fireplace
broad
Now forging into view;
1t holds a five-foot log and lets
Bear stories up it's fiue.
A kitchen, too, where camp truck hangs
High as a man can climb;
1e godsi why can't Christian be
An 'Injun" all the timer
This broad piazza, facing west,
O'erlooks a conquest field
That never to n skillful cast
Refused a speckled yield.
moment let my glad canoe
Upon 1t lift and fall
So much in tribute pay unto
Its paddle on the wall.
Nor yet without a throbbing heart
May a wish forego
To anchor in 1.-The Channel where
Trout congregate below.
And oh, to drop my flies beyond
The bridge wood fairies tread
Those lily pads that idly float
Around 1.-THE Spawning Bed!'
So running through the storm 1 hear
The keynote OF a song
A song that bids the feathered gale
Bring May and June along.
Oh! lakelands Of the northern wilds,
Fast hold my heart in fee,
Nor let a storm swept soul forget
The wisdom drawn from thee.
Still, as / lay the shuttle down,
The shy wood pigeons call,
And brighter CLOVIS the halo round
The paddle on the wall.

been so improved that a degree of

The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur.

natural forces attending the formation
OF diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and SO far the diamonds

entists have been very small but still
they are positively identified as the

are remarkably clear and bright, and
