Where tuberculosis Breeds.

tuberculosis does not find Its vic.
tins among the scrub COWS that
browse the roadside in summer and
find shelter behind straw stacks in
winter; nor among those who roam In
wide, well-watered pastures and are
housed In barns through whose cracks
the SHOWS and winds of winter s!ft.
1t is among the herds whose winter
quarters are basement dungeons where
little air and less sunlight finds en-
trance, and those that are warmly
housed and highly fed on rations cal
culatei 70 force the secretion OF milk
to the utmost limit, that the severe
losses occur, says Farming. 1t Is par
ticularly disease of pampered ami
mails. The highly bred animal is not
essentially more susceptible; the
fault Is with the man who should be
ahead of the COW" instead of behind
her." There are the extremes OF the In
human stables of the ignorant. and the
unnatural conditions maintained by
tho Scientific breeder The latter
class will be the first to realize their
mistake and rectify 1t. The former will
need deal of education and demon
stration in the line of sanitation.

Fine silver Service for Cruiser.

One thousand five hundred ounces
of metal will be used In the silver SER
vice to be presented to the new ar
mored cruiser Washington by the
people of the state after which the
ship is named. The service is COM
posed OF So pieces. and will cost $6.-
900. The chief piece Is the punch
bowl, in the shape of gallot, orna
mented with a figure representing
Triton. the trumpeter of Neptune.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually peces-
sary to use SO much starch tha. the
beauty and f1neness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. rs 1t can be applied
much more thinly because OF It's great
er strength thar other makes.

ports as follows: so you continue

little thought of the startling sur

of you, unseen. may be what the bal
loonist calls Il hole In the air. re-
sembling the vortex of maelstrom,

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice Of Starch a mater of great I'M
portance. Defiance Starch. being free
from all Injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

Starch necessary. with the result OF

THE AGE OF CLAY.
Rapidly supplantina Iron and Steel for
Many Uses.

In spite of the fact that the largest
corporation in the world Is devoted TO
the exploitation of iron and steel the
people VINO like to look ahead ale al
ready prophesying the end of the iron
age. 1t Is pointed out that we can al
ready compute the amount OF iron ore
still in sight, and the number of years
which II will require to exhause these
deposits.
The question which arises Is what Is
to be the substitute for iron. The ex-
perts have an answer ready. We Will
return to the age OF clay.
Iron, according to the late Professor
Shaler, is first to go out Of use for re,
tanning vessels. After a while there
will be no more iron buckets and bath
tubs anil boilers The retaining ves-
sells OF the future, like those Of our saw
age forbears. will be made of clay. AL
ready new spirit Is entering the pot
terry OF the world, and the ceramic in
dustry is recovering the lost glories
of Its antiquity. Sheet iron will be-
come too expensive for roofs. and tiles
will be more used. Even now they
are regaIning vogue in American
country houses.
Iron for structural purposes will fol

stone, New York is steel city, a
masked dream of the iron age, metal
skeleton, incased. Sometime its steel
skyscrapers and Its steel bridges will
be curiosities. The houses and bridges
of the future, many of them. will be
built of cement Many of them are be-
ing built Of cement.
The cement house Is n modified vcr-
sion OF the adobe dwelling of the In
dians OF the Southwest. 1t Is the clay
age reass erting itself In novel form.
In this form indeed that age IS al
ready on the scene, shouldering out
the iron age in thousand places.
America produced only about mil
lion and, n half barrels of cement In
1897. Last year the output was 26,
100000 barrels. The supply Is practl-
cally inexhaustable. 1t is claimed for
the cement house that 1t can be
erected In half the time of another
house and at much less expense.
