Milk In the SickrOOm.

Milk is the chief article of food and
nourishment in every sickroom and
hospital, and every physician and
nurse should know the source of sup.
ply, its purity. before ordering it in
any form for invalids and GONZALES
cents. 1t is not enough that it comes
as Country milk" There must be in
tegrity and experience back of it. 1t
has been scientifically demonstrated
and proved that pure milk products
are the most nutritious, economical
and easily digested foods when the milk
is obtained in all its purity and kept
so from pasture to consumer.-Charles

TYPHOID FEVER.
Sources of This Dangerous and Pro-
tracted Disease.

tracted Disease.
Although there Is always more or
less typhoid fever in most of the larger
cities of this country, the late summer
and autumn are the seasons when it Is
most to be feared.
The disease is not so formidable, as
regards the mortality, as some others,
but its great length and the evil conse
quences which sometimes follow it in
the form of weak heart, weak spine or
nervous disorders make it quite as Sc
rious as some which are more fatal, but
far less protracted.
Unless one knows how the disease is
usually spread one cannot hope to
avoid it, and so it may be useful to
consider in what ways the germs of
the malady find their way into the sys-
TEN.
Water is the usual vehicle for ty-
phoid germs, as Is well known, and
probably all great outbreaks of the dis
ease in cities are due to an infected
water supply. This has been strikingly
shown in Philadelphia, where some
parts of the city are supplied with FL
tered water and others with unfiltered
or mixed water. Comparing two parts
of the city in which the conditions, ex-
cept as to water supply, are almost the
same, 1t was found that In the one sup
piled with filtered water the occurrence
rate OF typhoid fever was one In five
thousand, while in the others, in which
the unfiltered water was drunk, 1t was
one in sixteen hundred.
But a city with an ideal water sup
ply may be scourged with typhoid
fever, although less severely, through
the medium of imptRe ice, and 1t is al
most as important to know where the
ice is cut, or with what water 1t is
made, If artificial, as where the city
water comes from. Not long since
number of officers on one Of the United
States ships in the Mediterranean
squadron were taken down with ty
phoid fever. When the source Of the
infection was traced it was found to be
some ice bought at Athens, the ice ma
chine on shipboard having broken
down.
Another source of infection Is found
in oysters that have been fattened in
streams contaminated with sewage.
Not only has typhoid followed the eat
ing of these fish, but the typhoid bacilli
have been found in the stomachs of the
oysters.
Raw vegetables used for salads may
have been grown in soil contaminated
with Stops used as fertilizers or may
have been washed in infected water.
Unless water supply is above sus-
picion all that used for drinking, tooth
cleaning and in the kitchen should he
boiled and the drinking water cooled
by putting vessels containing it on the
ice, not by putting Ice in the water it.
self.
Finally, great care should be taken
to screen all food from flies. for IL
there is case of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood flies may become most
active distributors Of the poison

A WOOD SAVING FLY.
The Tool with which 1t Makes q
Cradle For It's Young.


1t is marvellous how many Of the tiny
creatures in the insect world conceal
and preserve their eggs. Some will
deposit them in extraordinary places;
others will insert them in the skins of
living animals; others, again, deposit
their eggs where the young grub, after
coming from the egg, finds food close
at hand.
Among these last mentioned are in
sects who bestow great labor in the
cradle of their young. The place they
select is a hard part of leaf or the
woody branch of a tree. In this they
saw out hole large enough to contain
their eggs, whence their name, saw
flies. For this purpose they are pro-
vided with an oviposltor of peculiar
construction. 1t consists Of two long
pieces closing like a sheath over
third.
In the tenthredo this third piece con-
tains two little saws. each of which has
been compared to the tenon saw used
by the cabinetmakers. The tenon saw
is single, but that of the tenthredO Is
double, consisting of two distinct saws.
The insect in using them throws out
one saw and while it is returning
pushes out the other.
This alternate motion Is continued
until the cut Is made, when the two
saws, receding from each other, con-
duct the egg between them into its
place. Not only is the edge Of the saw
notched into teeth, but on every tooth
a number of smaller teeth appear.

Few Of his friends had escaped the
lash of his tongue, and he had victim

fact, he never lost an opportunity of
being funny. One day he met friend
whose name was Stone, and naturally
a name like that was too good a chance

Good morning. Mr.. Stone" he said

"Oh, quite we'll, Mr. Wood" was the

BOston's Name.

Boston owes its name to Roman
Catholic saint. Early in the seventh
century a Catholic monk named Bo-
tolph founded a church in what is now
Lincolnshire, England.
AS the years went by a town grew
up around the church and was called
Botolphstown. This was shortened for
convenience into Botolphston, then to
Botoston and finally to Boston. John
Cotton came to America from that
town and named the New England
capital after his native village

Canals and Roads In France.

1t is curious that the French, who
have done more than most nations to
cultivate the gssaees of life, should be
the people to boast the most perfect
system of canals and roads in the
world; more curious still that, when
most practical, they are still careful
not to sacrifice the purely graceful or
decorative. The roads and canals are
built for use. but between their serried
ranks of poplars they become so many
stately groves and avenues. crossing
the country from end to end Century.

For some time after the word papa"
was taken into the English language

and was common even among adults.
Long after 1t had become childish it
was still accounted genteel. Hood
wrote of che who was "genteelly
taught to say, not father, but papa"

it is as old as Homer. Nausicaa in

Him and me used to work

Gently, land I recollect once see
ing him do the gamest thing a man
ever done. The sun was just going
beneath the hill tops, and the boys
of the outfit we're seated around
the chip fire waiting for cooky to
call supper. Only one more member
was to come in-Bud Kimberling,
and we could see him rising and fall
ing as the horse loped toward the
camp. When about half mile away
the pony stuck his foot in a doghole
and went somersault. When it
got up Bud was hanging from the
stirrup by one foot. The horse
bucked, jumped in circle, kicking
like HI all the time at the twist
ing, dangling thing that moved,
contracted and grabbed at the under
parts of the saddle, only to be kicked
and Strengthened out to drag again.
Every one of us by this time was
mounted and squirting to the rescue,
but before half the distance was COW
cred Buds scared pony was running
straight streak across the plains.
Every few feet old Bud would draw
up and apparently grab at the girth,
then stretch out with his head be-
meath those murderous hind hoofs.
At last we saw the pony stagger and
fall. We raced our horses to the
now quiet horse, which lay on top of
poor old Bud. The horses entrails
were strung our for so feet. We
rolled aside the carcas and found
Bud alive, but unconscious. His
head and face had been kicked and
trampled into a bloody pulp. His
open pocket knife was still clutched
by the CORY fingers Then we knew
the game fight he had made for his
life during those terrible moments
while dragging. He was trying to
cut the saddle girth, but falling
there had disemboweled the pony"
