"'How can it do this!
".It is very simple. A hyena gets Its
living by digging up and crunching old
bones. Now, ii possesses in its snout
this peculiar virtue-that when its nose
approaches anything hard, such as
Zones. these tough substances instantly
grow soft and enable the animal to eat
them with comfort and benefit. So you
will find that if you keep this charm
hanging round your neck the proximity
of the hyena's nose, though dried up
and lifeless. will soften your food
however indigestible, 20 such an extent
that you will never again suffer from

Medical experts are calling the at
tention of the public to the Importance
of performing the nose blowing opera
ton in n scientific and hygienic manner.
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue VIC
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed Mt the
same time. If they are INSTRUCTED, as
in the case of n cold, the back of the
throat is filled with compressed air.
and this, together with the discharge
and the microbes which it contains,
may be driven through the custachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend Itself to those In
the habit Of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when IT is
necessary to blow the nose the blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

Germany the Modern Rome.

Let the German people keep n lesson
from antiquity before their eyes. Once
before an England and Germany of
no less different character have con-
fronted each other. They were Car
thage and Rome. And old Rome with
its policy Of force and power finally
conquered the cash politics of Carthage
and raised itself to the position of the
first power upon earth. We have his
torical example when we say that the
German people must return from the
imitation Of the unGerman Carthngin-
n-British finance policy and must 80
back to the Ioman-Gcrman policy of
power and might. In no other way
can really great Wcltpolitik be pro-
NOTED In tile hope perhaps OF making
ourselves ultimately the leading peg
pie in the world.-Berlin Grenzboten.

Why Thunder Sour. M,,h

10 many persons the curdling Of
milk in Il thunderstorm is mysterious
and uninteiligible phenomenon. Yet
the whole process really is simple and
natural. Milk, like most other sub
stances, contains millions of bacteria.
The milk bacteria that in day or
two under natural conditions would
cause the fluid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity
inspirits and invigorates them, affect
ing them as alcohol. cocaine or strong
tea affects men. Under the currents
influence they fall to work with amaz-
ing energy. and instead of taking Il
couple of days to sour the milk they
accomplish the task completely in Il
half hour. With an electric battery It
is easy on the same principle to sour
the freshest milk.

pupUlous Cheese.

A professor of the Swiss Dairy school
ut Sonntal has compiled statistics of
the number of micro organisms found
in cheese. His experiments lead to the
conclusion that every gram (one-thir-
tieth part Of an ounce) of fresh En-
mentllaler (Swiss) cheese contains be-
tween 10000 and 100000 living germs.
After two months the number has in
creased to 100000. Cream cheese con
tains Il still larger number of animal
culac, gram harboring after three
weeks 100000, rising to 100000 after
n month and II half. These figures ap-
ply only to the center of the cheese.
while close to the rind families mum
berine 5,5O00C0 bacteria may be found
In every gram of cheese. In about
ole and Il half pounds of cream cheese,
the professor estimates. there are as
many germs lis there are human beings
on the face of the globe. 1t Is sup.
posed that all or most of these mi.
crobes are friendly" ones and assist
in tie digestive process. We hope so.
