"Bacteriologists have SHOWN us
that ordinary butter is swarming with
germs" declares Good Health. "A
single teaspoonful of milk generally
contains from 100000 to 100000
germs. The number may even be
much larger than this.
I'm the removal of cream from the
milk the germs are taken with it and
in the process of cnurning the germs
are collected with the fat, SO in the
butter we have the coucentration of a
large Part OF t:ic germs contained in
the milk from which tie butter was
derived.
so in a pound of butter derived
from twenty pir:s of milk the number
of bacteria must be almost beyond es-

tanned in poun;, Of butter might easi-
ly reach the enormous sum OF i've or

Downing of ST. Louis.
when l first started to practice
law a Missouri editor came to me in
a peck of trouble to defend him
against a threatened libel suit grow
ing out of faulty punctuation. He had
not meant to give some innocent
young woman the slightest offense
when he wrote story about two young
men who went with their girls to at
tend lecture and after they left, the
girls got drunk Putting that misera-
BILE little comma out of it's right place

neat apology to stave off the damage

Electric Bitters never fail to destroy
them and cure malaria troubles.

The Early Military Band.

A little more than seventy years ago
there was no such thing as a brass
band in existence. The very first
band entirely CT brass dates, in fact,
no further back than 1885. Prior to
that time even our military music was
produced almost entirely from instru-
ments of wood, and as recently as
1888 full regimental band consisted
of two oboes, two clarionets, two
horns and two bosseons.
AS showing the important part play
ed by the sounding brass" in our
bands to-day, it is sufficient to men
tion that in an up-to-date first-class
band of say forty-two pieces there
there would probably be found from
eighteen to twenty horns, to say moth
ing OF saxophones, which are partly
clarionet and partly horn.

WATERPRooFiNG MATCHES.
Simple Method That May Be Of U.s.
to Campers.


to Campers.
Perhaps some of your readers
would be interested to know that l
have found a simple, inexpensive way
to waterproof matches.
Into some melted parafin (care be-
Ing taken that it was as cool as pos
sible) l dipped few ordinary parlor
matches After withdrawing them
and allowing them to cool it was
found that they scratched almost as
easily as before being coated with the
wax Several were held under water
for six or seven hours and all Of
them lighted as easily as before i'm
mersion. When the match is scratch
ed the paraffin is first rubbed off and
the match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing is required to
light, them than the ordinary match,
it would be practically impossible to
set them on fire by accidental drop
ping.

BIRDS ON MIGRATION.
Make Wide Circuits to Avoid Long
Over Sea Joyrreys.

Make Wide Circuits to Avoid Long
Over Sea journeys.
The great autumnal tz0lus of birds
Is nearly over. Fer weeks past it
has been going on, cuckoos, swifts,
f1ycatchers and nightingales leading
the way, followed by swallows, mar
tins nightjars and a score of others.
while the rear will Re brought up IN
about fortnight's time by the chif
chaff, which is always the first to
come and the last to go.
One very curious feature in this
annual migration is the fact that the
birds never fly straight from this
country to their destination in Egypt
of Arabia. They follow zigzag
course. First of all crossing the chan
mel at certain specified points, they
make for northern Germany, where
the great gathering OF the feather
ed clans takes place. There the
vast host breaks up into four di-
visions, the first flying southwest
through France and Spain to the
Straits of Gibraltar; the second due
oouIu luS NuIl vi NSuOct, anu IhChSC
across Corsica and Sardinia to Tunis;
the third little more to the east, so
as to pass down Italy and through
Sicily to Tripoli, while the fourth
goes southeast through Austria and
Greece, and so by way of Crete to
Alexandria, Then, On reaching the
African coast, they all turn due east
and fly straight on till they reach
their winter haunts.
The reason why the birds adopt
these strangely circuitous routes IS
simply that they hate crossing the
sea, and always prefer an overland
journey, although it may be very
much longer And their great idea IS
to make the passage of both the Eng
lish Channel and the Mediterranean
Sea at the narrowest points. So they
willingly fly an extra thousand miles
or so by land, both in autumn and
again in spring, in order to avoid a
flight of fifty or sixty miles across
the water And nothing will turn
them from these old ancestral "fy
lines" which seems to date back to
the time when the Mediterranean was
a series of lakes and Britain was con-
nected with Denmark by means )f
the Eogger Bank.

Omnibus Restaurants.

cially good for the other modes of
locomotion, recalls an attempt made
when the omnibus was in its infancy
of running restaurant omnibuses. The
idea was that of Viscount Bothered,
the son of a very rich diplomat. He
organized service of twelve omni-
buses wherein the passengers could
obtain a cold collation. and wine.
The experiment was not success,
and was only given up after the pro-
moter had lost something like G25,0OO.

Log Far Underqround.

Wood 404 feet underground in a
perfect state of preservation was
found at the Alabang stock farm last
week while boring for the second ar.
tesian well there. The drill had pene-
trated to a depth of 400 feet and had
just been drilling hard rock when it
suddenly struck log which was five
feet in diameter and in a perfect state
of preservation.
How log could be so far under
ground and underneath ledge of
rock in perfect condition is a ques-
tion that is puzzling the officials of
the bureau Of agriculture.

Fifty Kinds of Headache.

There are more than fifty kinds Of
headache" said a physician, ''and suf-
ferers from the common forms may
cure themselves accordingly. The
more frequent forms are a dull pain
across the forehead, due to dyspepsia;
a pain in the back of the head, due
to the liver; bursting pain in both
temples, due to malnutrition; an ache
on the top of the head, as though a
weight pressed on the skull, due to
overwork; an ache between the brows
just above the base Of the nose, due to
eye strain"

The Date of Buddha.

On the authority of the available
inscriptions and Of the tradition as
recorded in the Ceylonese chronicles
the date of the Nirvana of Buddha is
found by the latest writer on the SUBJ

assigns eighty years as the period OF
his life, he must be considered to
have been born in the year SGT B. G..

The good roads movement
grew apace, and as the demands
of the farmers began more and
more to be met, life in the coun-
try came to be better worth liv-
ing.
And then the rural telephone.
Because that little instrument
increased with such tremendous
leaps and bounds, especially in
the middle west, it's develop
ment is ever interesting.
Some figures from the latest
telephone census tell the whole
story. In the United States at
the close of the year 1902 there
were 266,966 rural telephone
stations, 4.8 per cent of all the
farms being equipped with Bells
invention. Five years later,
December 31st, 1907 to be exact,
there were 1, ,464,773 of these ru-
raj phones in the country. the
persentage' had jumped to 26.5,
and the percentage of increase
was 449. There has been no
official enumeration of the farm
telephones in the past year and
a half, but it is estimated that
the percentage of increase since
last census date has been even
greater than before. The state
ment is made by the Western
Electric Company, the largest
manufacturer of telephones and
equipment in the world, that
$4,000 of it's newest type of rural
phones have been sold in the
past six months.
just how strongly organized
are the farmers in the middle
west is shown by comparison
of the 1907 figures with the total
for the nation. The entire
group of north central states,
which includes the wheat and
corn region, had 1913 per cent
of it's farms equipped with tele-
phones when the census was TAX
en-. Ohio had 1879, Indiana 53.7,
Minnesota 34.1, Iowa 78.9, Mis-
souri, 41.2, South Dakota 43.4,
Nebraska 58.5 and Kansas 50.7.
The rest of the wheat belt states
are in proportion.
1t would seem, taking the tele-
phone as a basis for comparison,
that the real "hayseed" is to be
found in the east or south, and
not in the west, the nations
granary. For in Connecticut
but 1.6 per cent of the farms
have phones, and in Louisiana
IL.
There is no need to dwell
on the good a telephone does
the owner of farm. Rather
let the results tell the story.
And the result is the up-to- date
educated farmer who chats over
the phone with his neighbors,
tells them of his new high speed
motor car and lays plans to fool
the representative of the corner
in wheat. ,-

RISK IN MINING INVESTMENTS.


Mining, while it has returned mil
lions of dollars in profits 70 the pock-
cts Of investors. as il shown IN the
dividend tables published regularly,
has. il is true, more than its Just
share in most lamentable fnan-
cial fascos to answer Tor. so that
now any new and nnproven mining
venture is apt to be looked upon
with suspicion. says III Mining
World.
II is nat fair, however. 10 regard
mining as inherently tickle The fail
ures are usually due 70 iDexperience
or short-sightedness on the part Of
those responsible rather than 10 9TH
er causes. Deliberate fraud has been
the cause of some great failures. but
the proportion due 10 premediated
swindilng is small compared TO those
due to unwise management
4 mine cannot be made where
there is no ore. the f1rst important
step in mine making Il. therefore,
to determine the size and value of
the ore bodies and on the result of
this investigation should be based
the amount Of future expenditure
warranted. II is right here that the
amateur mining man. Is apt to
make his mistake. by assuming from
incomplete data that his property
containe an inexhaustible supply of
ere Of a certain value.
II is unfortunate for the mining
business that people will allow them
selves TO be blinded BY visions Of
quickly gained wealth rather than
lake the safe and sensible business
like course Of having the conditions
that govern the safety Of an invest
ment thoroughly examined into by
competent persons before making
heavy expenditures. There Is, Of
course. always some risk in putting
money into a new venture. Some
money is necessary 10 demonstrate
whether or not a new property has
ore in sufficient quantity. or of suf-
fcient value, to warrant further ex-
pendltures. This risk can not well
be avoided and investigation is the
only safe course TO follow. The fall
IRE to make preliminary investiga-
lion has been the cause of many
wrecks. Too often large sums Of
money have been spent on expensive
machinery and other equipment, only
10 md later that the ore reserves
or the value OF the ore were not
sufficient to warrant the expense
incurred. The result of such pro-
cedure is always the. samoa monu-
ment to folly in the shape of useless
and idle mills and equipment with
many of which most mining camps
are dotted
1t is the more 10 be regretted that
these wrecks are usually without
good excuse. as the true conditions
could have been determined for a
fraction OF the money thrown away
in unwise equipment.
There is something about mining
that seems to rob many investors of
