WAYS To<kILL MILK GERM.
There Are Many Of Them, But the
Bacteria Crushing Machine
II Last

Many ways Of killing the bacteria
in milk have from time to time been
suggested. A recent and ingenious
way Is to crush the bacteria to death
by pressure, as q man brushes an in
sect under the pressure of his boot.
"A notwithstanding machine" said
. chemist, mas been built and tried
with partial success. This machine Is
capable Of putting forth q hydrostatic
pressure Of 100000 pounds to the
square inch. MIX has been squeezed
under 1t till the bacteria howled for
mercy. Seriously, milk has received
at the hands of this machine q pres
sure Of 80 tons The effect Of q pres
sure so enormous was to make the
milk keep longer-it kept for I'VE, six
and seven days. This showed that
some Of its bacteria. the .fermenting
bacteria at least, had been killed. But
though the milk remained sweet II be-
gan to emit finally a strange, new odorl
and 1t had a strange. new taste. This
showed that other bacteria in Il had
not been harmed. Prof. Wiley's poison
squads tests have proved that preserv-
atives in milk are harmful. A pressure
OF 20 tons preserves milk for three or
four days and there is no strange odor
or strange taste. Maybe before long
chemicals as a preventative Of milk
will be succeeded by pressure"

the most spectacular performance that
has been witnessed in the halls of con-
gress for many years. There has been
no impeachment trial since that of Sec
rotary Of War Belknap, in President
Grants last administration. There has
been no impeachment of a federal Judge
since that Of Judge Peck in the famous
trial of 1880. The matter-of-fact bus!-
ness methods Of the present day con-
gress will rob this trial of its most SEN
sational features, as was shown when
the committee of the house notified the
senate the other day that the house i'm
peached Judge Swayne. This notifica-
ton required about three minutes and
created scarcely a ripple in the senate
proceedings.
Those who have in their mind the most
noted of impeachment trials-that of
Warren Hastings by the English parlia-
ment, will be disappointed in the coming
trial Of Judge Swayne; but there will
still be enough Of the unusual to attract
much interest and attention. In former
trials, in the early days Of the govern
ment, the senate chamber was appropri-
ately draped and the old eeremonials ad-
hered to. To-day the senate will handle
the case more as matter Of routine
business Judge Swayne will be present
either personally, or by counsel, and
there will be q committee Of managers
on the part Of the house, who will con-
duct the trial, much as q case is tried in
court.
Noted men were engaged In former i'm
peachment trials. James Buchanan, Of
afterwards president Of
the United States, was one Of the man
ayers on the part Of the house in the case
against Judge Peck. In the impeach-
ment proceedings against President An
drew johnson, James F. Wilson, Of
Iowa; Henry L Dawes. Of Massachu-
sets; Charles Sumner, Senators Conk-
ling, Morton, Ben Wade, Of Ohio; Ben
jamin +. Butler, and other Statesmen Of
Ireat fame were engaged.

BUSY LAKE SEASON ENDS.
More Trahhe This Year on Great
Bodies Of Water Than
Ever Before.

The great lakes are about to see
the close Of one Of the busiest seasons

captain in the Washington Post "A

were added to the carrying fleets this
year, but the increase in capacity was
not SUFFICIENT to meet the increased de-
mand. No vessel, no matter OF what
class ever had to be without q cargo.
One OF the big steel vessels Of to-day
carries as much as rs or 30 vessels of
the type in use q few years ago, and
they make their trips in about one

MUSIC A GOOD sTIMULANT.
Experiments Prove That Melody Acts
on Heart Thus Causing Rapid
Breathing.

The experiments Of Ginet and Cour-
tier were conducted with q view to de-
termining the effect of music upon
breathing and upon the action Of the
heart, writes Gustav Kobbe, in Good
Housekeeping. II was found that
lively major chords. without relation
to melody, quickened breathing. Mel
odies, grave or gay, caused rapid
breathing. the respiration approximat-
ing its time to that Of the music.
Rallentando and diminuendo effects
made the breath come more slowly.
Single notes without tune accelerated
the hearts action, but melodies quick
ened It still more, operate pieces re-
sulting In the quickest action. These
experiments would seem to show con-
clusiVely the stimulatiVe effect Of

HANDSPRING REVIVED.
All Kinds of Handmade Things Now
Much in Esteem, Especially
Fine Needlework.

Eeedlework as an art has long been
despised, but is now being revived.
The day will soon dawn when, once
more, a girl will blush to have 10 own
that she cannot stitch, sew, tuck, hem,
gather, whip, and fell linen into beau
~ and usefulness. Hand-embroidered
and crocheted, knitted or Melted lace,
lasts for years, and puts the machine
made limitations to scorn. With clever
fingers a very little money sufices to
render a house beautiful, and the
pleasure derived from the work of
ones hands is priceless. Curtains of
serge or velveteen may be trans
formed into splendor by embroidery
and stitchery. Tablecloths that would
cost ten times the money in a shop
can be made and embellished at home.
Pretty underclothing is a necessity to
every nice girl, and it is prettiest
when she makes it herself in dainty
shapes and with fine trimmings of
frills, lace or embroidery. A girl
never looks sweeter than when occu-
pied with q feminine handicraft- Then

Of the people buy cheaply good and

ladies' handicraft clubs. These clubs
are formed by number of girls who
meet one afternoon or evening at a
members house or the clubroom and
work for the poor. No garment or
article is given away. The workmen's
wives and mothers pay a low price
for each, covering the cost OF the
material. The club members give the
time and work. The garments are
simple, but beautiful In shape and
make, the aim being to show that
plain clothing need not be ugly or
gaudily vulgar. Handicraft clubwork
is not limited to the needle. Small
bookshelves and cupboards. fret work.
poker work, leather work, curtain
work, ribbon work, bent-iron, metal
and bead work, are all useful.

brated by dancing from time imme-
mortal In fact, the records show that
only at Washington's first inaugural
and at those of Thomas Jefferson, An
drew Jackson and r. B. Hayes, a ball
has always been given. Just prior to the
celebration of Washington's second in
auguration in Philadelphia the follow
ing card was issued which serves as au-
thority for this form Of inaugural func-
tons:
The members Of the senate and of
the house Of representatives of the Unit
ed States are respectfully invited to q
ball on the 4th of March, to be given by
the dancing assembly in honor Of the
unanimous reelection Of George Wash
ington, the president of the United
States; the anniversary of the present
form of government Of the United States
and a parting leave with the members
Of the present congress"
The first inaugural ball in Washing
ton was held on March 4. 1909, in honor
of President Madison. 1t was given at
Longs hotel and was a grand affair, at
tended by ex-President Jefferson and
the foreign ministers. Some 400 took
part in the ball, although Mrs Madison
did not dance. For many years the in
Rugural ball was held in prominent ho-
tells or public halls. Sometimes two or
three balls were given on the night of the
inauguration. Temporary buildings
