MILK INSPECTION.

Now that the city has settled the
question of pure meat for her citizens
# is but right that the equally import
ant question of pure milk should be
Pure milk is about as important a
consideration for our civic welfare as
every year hundreds of thousands of
anfants are absolutely murdered by i'm
pure milk. This is a condition that
calls for immediate attention and is
one that every community in the land
should deal with rigidly. Impure milk
comes from a multitude of things,
among which are uncleanliness about
the dairy. taking milk from diseased
COWS, and contagious disease among
those who attend to the dairy. This
latter point is one that has already
demonstrated its power for evil in
Richmond Milk is a great germ car
trier and on one occasion, which is
we'll known in Richmond, typhoid fe-
yer germs were transmitted to families
living in this city by milk brought
from a farm on which a family lived
one member of which had the disease.
Conditions such as these could be pre-
vented by a rigid inspection of all
sources of the milk supply of Rich
mond and nothing but pure milk could
be allowed to enter the city. And ii
the city officials stick TO their present
plan there will be no difficulty in
bringing about proper inspection and
doing away with some of the dangers
OF infectious diseases. besides putting
"a check on infant mortality in Rich
mond

cry five minutes. it seemed. and one OF
the men became impatient. Finally
when the train halted for the engine
to get up steam the mans Impotence

"NOw. what do you think of this

Some Clever Animals and Wonderful
New England Nag.
In his letters to Lord Granville. pub
1fshed by the Royal Philosophical So
ciety. who was also greatly interested
in natural history, Smithson, the
founder Of the Smithsonian institution
in America. says London Tit-Bits, re-
lates how the horse of Alexander the
Great, Bucephalus, would at night on
hearing a blast of the trumpet from
the soldiers on guard showing the ap-
prOach OF the enemy. run at great
speed to his masters tent and with his
teeth grab the sleeping monarch and
shake him until he sprang into the sad
die and galloped toward the enemy.
Also that the great Caliph Haroun-
al-RasChid in the eighth century in
marching toward the forces Of Queen
Irene of Constantinople always had
n number of trained Arabian horses
direct descendants of the famous
horses owned by Ishmael 1000 years
ago. thrown forward as scouts. which
from time TO time returned to camp
and by n peculiar whinny and neigh
reported the proximity of the enemy.
Again, he relates the experiences of
the Portuguese explorer. Albuquerque.
who lived for many years in the six
teenth century on the island of st.
Helena, where he and the natives
taught the herds OF wild horses there
not only TO dig potatoes, but TO husk
corn, and these horses descended from
a herd taken there from Cappadocia
in the second century, as related by
the Greek historian. Philistorgius.
But. to come down to the present
day, it is related by a retired New
England clergyman whose sands OF
life had nearly run out that one day on
leading his horse down through a lane
to brook for a drink the animal sud
denly halted aud, turning its head
around, grabbed up with its teeth one
of its hind shoes which had just drop
ped off. and. holding it in it's mouth
with the nails dangling, 1t backed up
against a stone wall and clapped il OH
to It's hoof and with few violent
kicks nailed it on again.

Creates Much Surprise.

There was considerable surprise and
not a little amusement among the Of
ficers of the battle ship fleet, as well
as among the people of Rio Janeiro,
over numerous inquiries cabled here
from the United States during the day
asking for information regarding a re
ported disaster to the battleship Con
necticut, Admiral Evans'S flagship.
At first the inquiries were mystify-
ing to those to whom they were adj
dressed, as the rumor of mishap to
the Connecticut did not originate here
and at the time frenzied inquiries were
being telegraphed from the United
States all the ships of the fleet were
lying peacefully in the harbor in plain
view from the shore
Finally it became clear that the rIr
NOR of an accident originated in the
United States, and, having been wide
ly circulated, Occasioned considerable
alarm there.

Lieutenant Commander Cone re-

about January q.
The scene in the narbor was pic-
turesque. Never before We're so many
warships anchored in this port at one
time. Besides the great fleet of 16
battle ships swinging idly at anchor,
with their white sides shining in the
brilliant sunshine Of 4 perfect day,
there was the fleet Of Brazilian war
ships, the German cruiser Bremen,
and finally came the six American tor
pedo-boat destroyers, under Leuten-

great fleet.
Scores of small boats ran to and
fro between the warships and the
shore carrying thousands of the men
who had been granted leave for the
day, while the officers were still be
