Malta's celebrated goats are likely
soon to be only memory on the his
toric island, for 1t has been found
that banishing goats milk means an
end to the ravages Of Malta fever. The
commission appointed in 1907 to trace
the origin of the. fever in the garrisons

covery that the germ of the fever was
present in the milk of the goat. Wher-

Lucky Herdman.

A curious legend attaches to the
discovery of the marble Of which
Ephesus was built. The rams of a
herdman named Pixodorus fought
whilst feeding on the hill One Of
them-in the contest-with his horn,
broke the crust Of the whitest marble.
The peasant running to his Ephesian
fellow-citizens with the specimen, his
prize was resolved with applause, and
his name was changed to "Evangelus
Oliver Of Glad Tidings." and the
stone being excavated for Diana's
Temple divine honors were subse-
quently paid to him!

Military louic.

But experience teaches that there
is no stopping the flow Of military
logic. From its own point Of view II
is quite reasonable. The security of
one range of hills requires the occu'
patton of the next; and the retention
Of that second range requires the con-
quest of a third. So 1t goes on. AS
