Hot-Weather Danger

Ptomaines are poisonous products formed in fish. meat, milk and other ar ticles of food by process of decompo- sition that leaves little other trace of its action. Bacteria probably promote their formation. but on that point ther. remains some douht. says the New York Tribune. The taint develops in consequence of failure to cook the food properly. At this season the dufy of promptly reducing the temperature of milk at the dairy farm from which if is derived is often slighted and as a result the fluid may come to market in what is dangerous condition.

The big farms absorb the smaller ones and there are fewer farmers but more wealth. says the New York Times For many purposes human labor is increas- ingly unnecessary and farm laborers find their occupation shrinking.

 The incident which caused this pas slon for revenge occurred late one night about year ago, when four biigands, masked and armed to the teeth, with Berdan rifles, rode into Fiadikavkaz and robbed Morosoff of 1000 roubles. Morosoff headed a band ei armed men who pursued the baniiis and ultimately captured three of their number These. on their masks being torn away, proved to be young Crcas- san women. The leader of the band. also a woman, communicated to Mor- esoff that before a twelvemonth had passed she would be amply revenged.

CLUB NOTES

One of our exchanges gives the fol- lowing cure for insomnia:
 T suppose all of us are suffering from the invasion of electricity. My old friend Bounce. who was a victim of insomnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps now better than any other man on earth. He lost his way in the Adj rondacks and stayed overnight in the cabin of forester His sleep was the deep sleep of a jus, man made perfect. and in the morning he found that he had not moved an inch all night.
 " It's the insulation the forester insisted. You city folks are killing yourself with contact If you'll break the contact you'll be able to sleep and get your nerves back
 This matter of contact was finally explained to mean that our bedposts are in contact with the floors. the floors with the walls and the walls with mother earth. s3 that whatever per Sonal magnetism a man has in him goes away in the night time. leaving him like a log on his mattress. The forester had obtained four glass insu- lators from telegraph poles somewhere and screwed them on the posts of his guest bed. so hat the electricity could not run away. Bounce, the very day he got home. insulated his bed and from that moment to the present his in. somnia has been banished." {"
 have frequently recommended the insulation of the bed for insomnia as we'll as for other forms of nervousness Try it.
