HEN DR.. Detre, a scientist
NV whose name is now known
in every civilized country
in the world, boarded the
railroad train that day, a year ago, in
Hungary 10 continue a visit Of scien-
thc research, he little thought what
fate had in store for him. He was
thiTty-three years old. and had gone
through his life without feeling serious
~ the pangs Of love. He had not only
worked up an enviable practice in his
home town. but held one Of the most
important professorships in the Uni
versity of Budapest.
For years DR.. Detre had made a
special study of tuberculosis. and had
determined that the resources of its
treatment had by no means been ex-
hausted. He persisted in his study
OF the disease and gave every mo-
ment of his time 10 enlarging the
scope OF his knowledge.
fNLi HIS must intimate ASSOC
ciates in the medical profession he
had not divulged the fact that he had
made a discovery Of a unique method
Of diagnosis. He delved deeper into
the mysteries of the disease, and
finally felt sure Of his discovery.
So one day Dr. Detre, full of en-
thUsiasm for his own work in the
cause of humanity. boarded a train.
IN the same car with him was
merry party Q f Americans. They were
on pleasure trip through Europe.
and were talking and laughing gayly.
They were having such good time
that everybody was attracted to them.
and in the course of the journey
DR. Detre became acquainted with
the party.

peculiar in the fact that il has great

AS the boys and girls all know, we
usually have a season of comparatively
mild, hazy weather some time IN NO
yember, to which has been given the
name Of Indian summer. Familiar as
the phenomenon is, however, few people
know what causes it, chiefly, perhaps,
because they never tried to find out
Most Of the scientists attribute the
mildness Of the air at that time to
change in the condition of the atlnos-
pllere, which confines in the lower
strata the heat radiated from the
earth's surface. This explanation Is
not wholly satisfactory to a layman,
but it seems to be the best that sci
entists can do for us. The hazy con-
dition Of the air at that time is more
easily explained. 1t is due to the de-
cav or the slow chemical combustion OF
leaves, grasses and other vegetable mat
ter under the combined action of frost
and the sun. AS to the name, Indian
summer - several explanations have
been given of that. the most plausible
being that the early settlers called it so
because they believed. that the smoky
appearance at that time was caused by
forest and prairie fires kindled by the
Indians. Some people think that the
name came from the fact that the In
dams took advantage Of that period

6ORAx is NATURES MINE OF PiiI
ITY FOR DAIRY UfENoiLo.

BoraX is first, a cl anser that re-
moves dirt and grease with surprising
ease; second, it is a sweetener that
makes fragrant any surface that has
grown musty or stale from neglect;
third, it is an antiseptic or destroyer of
germs. 1t prevents the development
of bacteria or mouldy growths. With
all this it is perfectly free from harm
in it's resulting effects.
The farm churn is kept free from
that stale odor if it is washed with
borax in the following proportions
one tablespoonful of borax to a quart
of water.
The dairy room has nothing about it
but the pleasant aroma of fresh milk
and cream and sweet butter if it is
kept clean with borax. There will be
no soapy smell and no lurking hint of
something gone wrong.
The cream crooks take on an extra
freshness when washed with borax and
water in the following proportions
ne tablespoonful of borax to quart of
w9ter. This preserves the fresh flavor
of the cream.
The farm cream separator can be
kept thoroughly sweet and clean by a
wash of borax and water in the follow
ing proportions-one tablespoonful OF
borax to quart of water.

COST OF LIVING IN VENICE.

Luxuries Are Cheaper and Necessi.
ties Dearer Than in United States.
The general impression Is that life
in the United States costs more than
elsewhere. Speaking generally, you
could say that rent In the city for
good apartments costs less than In
Europe. Service also costs less, while
light and fuel cost much more. The |
cost of food in Venice and in other |
parts of Italy as compared with the
cost of food with us may be summed up
as follows: What with us are luxuries
are cheaper in Italy; what with us
are necessities are dearer. Fillets OF
beef, the best cuts of roasts, sweet.
breads game, ETC., are all cheaper; the
poorer cuts Of meat are dearer. The
best chops, for instance, are Is cents
pound and the cheapest stew meat of
mutton II Or 13 cents. Nor do these
figures tell the whole story, for the
meat is trimmed very much closer, to
the advantage of the buyer of the finer
cuts.
The prices of fish vary more than
with us and are much more tluctuat-
ing than meat The poorer Venetians,
of course, are able to buy fish at q
price much below that which the for.
eigner must pay. As far as our expert
ence went only the very best poultry Is
procurable in Venice; the tough and
venerable rooster never appears in the
market and the fowls are all dry pick
ed and never kept on ice. This poultry
costs 3 or cents less pound than
poultry of the corresponding grade at
home. But there are no cheap meats,
such as corned beef or spare ribs or
pigs heads-dear to the poor house
| keeper of New York or New England
The consequence is that the poor Vene
tan rarely eats meat at all.
Neither does he buy refined salt; the
tax of the government is so high thai
he contents himself with rock salt
Flour is dearer: so Is cornmeal. coffee

pound. The fruit supply Of Italy II
superb, but the making Of preserves
either by the housekeepers or factories
is rare on account of the absurdly higl
price Of sugar. Butter Is 80 cents
pound. On the other hand, fruit ant
vegetables are cheap. There are in tn
market a great variety Of dried peas
beans and lentils, which are nutrition
and which. you may be sure, the Vene
tian knows how to use.
In spite of the greater cost of 81
many foods in Venice you can set a
