The Swiss Fourth of July.

Aug. l is the Swiss Fourth of July.
the national fete day. \ traveller tells
how he helped to celebrate it one year
at one of the climbing centers in the
Valais by eating the sumptuous dinner
provided by the hotel without extra
charge, applauding the fireworks dis
play and a bonfire lighted high on the
mountain side and shouting "IIOurra!'
at the end of patriotic speech extoll-
ing the ancient military glories and
present republican democracy of Swift
zeTIand. Next morning came the
strange sequel. The orator of the oc-
casiOn, the most distinguished native
visitor in the place, was appealed to
as one who would certainly know the
name of the Swiss president, but even
he could not remember it. Nobody
ever can. The name of that unaSsum-
ing functiOnary is always less familiar
in Switzerland than that of the lieu
tenant governor is in Illinois. He is
merely the democracy's temporary Of

MILK In Turkey.

In Turkey there is a great consump-
ton of the milk of the buffalo. the
common COW. the goat and the eve.
but it is hardly ever used in a natural
state. According to a paper read at
the London Academy Of Medicine, the
milk is considerably reduced. After
slow cooling the milk is treated with a
ferment taken from the previous days
supply. In few hours a curd forms,
which is called yaghoun. The prepa-
ration is preferred to milk, and it has
a pleasant, clean, acid taste and is of
course nutritious.

CRYSTAL Sky Columns.

An explanation of a curious optical
phenomenon, sometimes witnessed OF
frosty nights. which is called the ''pseu-
do aurora" is offered by a scientist
The phenomenon takes the form of
beautiful columns of silvery light
standing over electric are lamps and
other bright lights and sometimes APP
pearing almost to reach the zenith.
The scientist says that sometimes the
evening star has bright shaft below
as well as above, while the rising moon
stands in Il broad column of light.
These appearances are due to floating
frost crystals which keep their reflect
ing faces horizontal On examination
he found that the crystals concerned
in the exhibition were thin six sided
plates Of ice. never more than one mil
limeter in diameter When the wind
blows. these little plates are upset. and
the columns Of light caused by rehec-
ton from their surfaces disappear.

The yo1tnire of the Enst.

Omar Khayyam was a famous Per
sian poet and mathematician in the
twelfth century. who was employed by
the Sultan Malik Shah in revising the
Astronomical tables and in making a
thorough reform of the calendar. He is
better known to us as the writer of
some 500 epigrams in verses of four
lines which are unsurpassed in their
pure diction, fine wit and crushing sa-
tire. These clever and fascinating
Quatrains were put into English by
Edward Fitzgerald, who in 1859 pub
lished The Rubaiyat Of Omar" u rem
dering marked by exquisite melodiOus-
ness and by poetic insight and power.
Omar has been called the Voltaire of
the east because of his brilliant and
pungent wit, while his depth of tender
ness and profound thought and his de-
nunciation of the fate which doOms to
decay and death what is best and most
beautiful in the world reveals much
that reminds one of Byron, Swinburne
and sometimes SchOpenhauer.

Certain Death.
Half of the people dying from desert
thirst perish in thrty-siX hours, quar-

all others Of which the history is known
within eighty hours
The phenomena of desert thirst may
be arranged in three stages-namely,
normal thirst, functional arrangement
and structural degeneration. These
three stages are made up of five phases
the clamorOus, cotton mouth phase.
the shriveled tongue. the blood sweat
and the living death. There is hope in
saving the lives of the victims whose
thirst is diagnosed in the first three
phases, bet for the fourth and fifth
death is certain.
The clamorCuS phase Of desert thirst
may be relieved by water. or in some
instances fruit acids or similar sub
stances. The second. or cotton mouth.
phase should be treated by giving the
victim quarts of water taken in small
sips and flooding his body. Practically
the same treatment may be applied to
the third, or shriveled tongue. phase,
with the addition of medicine to
counteract the fever and tonic for the
heart. Water would only prove Il
damage in the fourth, or blood sweat,
phase, and even if it were possible to
satisfy the thirst Of the victim his
