Here and There.

Port Arthur has at last actually sur
rendered, after siege marked by such
fierce and incessant attack and such
stubborn defence that it will go into his
tory as one of the greatest. The cost in
property and lives has been terrible, and
the conditions have more than justified
Gen. Sherman's famous but brief de-
scription of war. The fall of Port
Arthur gives the Japanese distinctly the
advantage of the situation. Russia, with
her immense resources, can prolOng the
war probably for years, until Japan is
exhausted, both as to men and money,
but she will have great difficulty in re-
gaining any of the ground which she has
lost. In the name of humanity it would
seem to be permissible for the powers to
do the utmost possible to end the war
and stop the slaughter, on terms which
shall be with honor to both parties.

costing what you eat without the

TESTING BUTTER AND MILK
Simple Methods Detailed by DIR. w. ID.
BigeIow of the United states
Bureau of Chemistry,

1t Is matter of common information
that oleomargarine is sometimes substi-
tuted for butter and that rancid and badly
made butter is frequently melted, washed
with soda, and churned with milk for the
preparation of renovated or process but
ter.
Methods are available which, with little
practice. may be employed to distinguish
between fresh butter, renovated or process
butter, and oleomargarine.
The spoon" test has been suggested as
household test, and Is commonly used
by analytical chemists for Distinguishing
fresh butter from renovated butter or oleo-
margarine. lump Of butter two or three
times the size OF pea is placed In a large
spoon and heated over an alcohol or Bum
sen burner. II more convenient, the spoon
may be held above the chimney OF an or
dinary Kerosene lamp, or II may even he
held over an ordinary Illuminating gas
burner. II the sample in question be fresh

fat will be turbid. while II genuine fresh

To manipulate what is known as the

OF sweet milk Is placed in a wide mouthed
bottle, which is set in a vessel of boiling
water. When the milk Is thoroughly heated
teaspoonful Of butter is added and the
mixture stirred with a splinter OF wood

VENTILATION IN THE HOME
Necessity of Pure Air and the
DiHicu1ty of Obtain


The last word on ventilation will prob
ably never be said while there are people to
live In houses And yet, important as ven
tilation is for the house IL Is rather it's re-
lation to public buildings to places of as
sembly, such as churches, schools, theaters
and other places OF amusement, to fac
tories and workshops--in fine, to any place
where large numbers OF people are crowded
together-that is considered, than its direct
relationship to the house, or the very i'm
portant part ventilation must have in the
dwelling; in no place is pure air more ur-
gently needed than in the home.
The breathing OF impure air is precisely
identical, so far as its effect is concerned
upon the human body as the drinking Of
impure water or the eating OF impure food
Both air and water are foods, foods OF such
abundance in supply and so readily OBJ
tsined that little thought Is given to their
getting. This is especially true OF air,
which is the single DEMONSTRATING element
obtained without cost or labor, and a gem
eral Indifference exists as to It's origin and
a quite profound lack of knowledge as to
its contents and qualities.
One of the newest OF the New York hotels
recently installed an elaborate and intricate
air-flltering plant, by which every pound
of air brought into the building was thor
oughly filtered and cleaned before reaching
the rooms 1t was not a new idea, but It
had not before been applied to a building
OF this sort and perhaps never before on
so large a scale. The results obtained were
little short OF startling, a very consider
able quantity OF dust, dirt and ashes being
obtained each day.
In the present state OF the ventiiatInE art
is hardly possible that air filters can

serviceable as such a device would be; but
the practical demonstration that the air OF
New York-and in an excellent locality, It
should be noted-is so foul as to yield ap-
preciable and even considerable amounts OF
refuse is an object lesson Of the utmost i'm
portance. e.-American Homes and Gardens.
