PERFIDIoUS PUSSY.

The Government Biological Survey
states that the sleek highwayman"
known as the house sat destroys
more wild birds and young poultry
than all native natural enemies COM
bined. A cat has been known to kill
a whole brood of chickens in a day
feat unequaled by any predaceous
animal with the possible exception of
the mink. 1t is not uncommon for
cats to destroy whole coveys of quail
or grouse or nests full of young song
sters. In the New England states
alone, it is estimated, fifteen hundred
thousand birds are killed annually by
cats.
These facts are set forth in the
forthcoming Yearbook of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which adds that
in parts of ouN country where the eli
mate is mild and bird life abundant,
as in the chaparral region of Califor-
MIA, cats often revert to a semi-wild
state and never revisit their old homes
except for plumber. Sportsmen and
bird lovers should be ever on the
watch for marauding cats and destroy
them whenever possible.
One of the principal reasons for
keeping cats is their alleged value as
killers of rats and mice. AS a mat
ter of fact, it is a very rare cat that
brown rat; and it is not uncommon
to find houses in which cats are kept
fairly overrun with mice.

Grass Stains.

1t is very annoying to have a pretty
light dress ruined with grass stains.
This is the time of year when the
children are liable to have their white
dresses stained with grass, and if the
offending spot is not properly handled
at once it may not wash out, thus
running an otherwise good garment
Sometimes, if the stain is a slight
one, it will wash out with clear wa
ter and ammonia, but not usually. A
A simple remedy is to spread mo-
lasses, or a paste made of soap and
baking soda, over the spots and let
it stand for few hours before wash
ing out Another way is to keep the
stains moist and let it lay in the
hot sunshine until the spots turn
brown, when they can be washed out
with clear water. Grass stains are
soluble in alcohol, but it is not al
ways safe to use it on very delicate
cOlors.

FINDS IN EGYPT.

Prof Flinders Petrie recently gave
an account of the work of the British
School of Archaeology during the
past season at Thebes and Memphis.
The great result of this year at Mem
phis has been the. discovery of the
place of King Apries-the Pharaoh
Hophra of the Bible-who was con-
temporary with jeremiah. Hitherto
no place has been known in Egypt
beyond the tower at Medinet Habu
and some portions of rather earlier
date. The palace now discovered
is of impressive scale, about 400 feet
long, and half as wide. The Middle
Court is we'll over a hundred feet
square, and the painted stone columns
in it were more than 40 feet high
The stonelined halls, of which seven
remain, were over 40 feet long and
half as wide. The brick walls were
nearly as large and the walls were
about Is feet thick. A still larger
which lie capitals of columns which
must have been about so feet high.
The approach to the palace led up
through a large mass of buildings to
a platform at height of about 60
feet above the plain. In the ruins
scarse armor, hitherto rarely found in
Egypt, was discovered. Good bronze
figures of gods found What Prof.
Petrie described as the one supreme
piece was the fitting of palanquin
of solid silver, pound in weight,
decorated with a bust of Hathor with
a gold face, of the finest workmanship
of the time of Apries. The great
gateway and the immense walls de-
scending deep into the mound indi-
Gated that there lay there the ruins
of successive palaces built one over
the other and Prof. Petrie prophesied
that in six or eight years, if the school
received sufficient financial support,
they might dig down to the earliest
records of the Egyptian Kingdom. The
Temple of Merenptah occupied large
part of the work, some of the col
umns and bases showing that Pharaoh
was appropriating older work. The
Temple of Ptah and the desert village
or region were also explored during
the season.

situation here, such a solution
would be satisfactory. His attack
is rather upon the methods of
government by Congress, through
men who are responsible to con.

of miles from Washington. Mr..

FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS
Taxes Are Held Lien As a Result
of Decision of Court of Ap-
pedlS.

Many lawyers in Kentucky who
have examined land titles and pro-
bounced them good are in a guam
dairy as the result of the decision
of the Court Of Appeals, several
weeks ago, that the State has a
lien on land for taxes of a period
of seventeen years instead of FIVE
years as nearly every lawyer sup
posed.
The Court of Appeals has been
rrasked TO reopen the case of Frank
P. James, Auditor, against j. B.
r Blantou. on appeal from Frank
lin county, and modify the opinion.
Mir. James said that many lawyers
in Kentucky are worried over the
decisions as it means that lawyers
will have to pay some thousands of
dollars to the State for taxes on
lands which they have pronounced
of good title. but on which back
taxes were due.
Under the law lawyer who ex-
amines title and reports it good
guarantees that the title is good
and if there is any defect the own
er of the property, who had the
title examinations made, can 90
back or the attorney for the loss.
{ 1t was generally thought that the
State had lien on property for only
FIVE years and after that time a
suit by an auditors agent could
not be prosecuted to collect taxes.
In hundreds of instances in Ken
tccky lawyers examining titles
have found that unpaid taxes were
outstanding against a piece of
property but when the taxes were
more than FIVE pears past due the
lawyers would report to the pur-
chaser. for whom the title was
being examined, that the title was
clean and free from !eins. Now
that the State can collect taxes on
lands for seventeen years back
the lawyers who reported no liens
find themselves confronted with
claims for the taxes which the
purchaser of the property must
pay. He can hold the lawyer who
guaranteed his title and the law
yers have visions of having to
settle. They are trying to GET the
Court OF Appeals to modify the
decision so as to relieve them of
liability and petition for a re-
hearing of the case has been filed
ia the court at Frankfort.

PROTECT YOUR CHILD
BY PaSteurizing Milk at Your
Home In Bottles.

bulletin of United States De-
partment of Agriculture, issued
October 10, 1909, by L. A. Rog-
ers, Bacterologist, Dairy Division.
Milk delivered in the cities in
the summer months frequently
contains bacteria in such large
numbers that it is not a safe food
for children, especially for infants
whose food consists entirely of
milk.
It is advisable to pasteurize all
milk consumed by small children
The pasteur:zation should be done
ia such a way thai disease pro-
ducing bacteria, as well as those
likely TO produce intestinal distur.
Dances, are destroyed without in
juring Che nutritive value Of the
milk. This may be accomplished
in the home by simple outfit.
Milk is most conveniently pas
teurized in toe bottles in which
they are delivered. To do this
use a small pail with perforated
false bottom. Al inverted pie pan
with a few holes punched il it
will answer this purpose. This
will raise toe bottles from the bot
tom Of the pail, thus allowing a
free circulation of water and pre-
venting Dumping Of the bottles.
Punch a hole through the cap Of
one Of the bottles and Insert a
thermometer. The ordinary fOat-
ing thermometer is likely to be IL
accurate, and if possible a good
thermometer with the scale etched
on the glass should be used. Set
the bottles Of milk IN the pail and
fill the pail with water nearly to
the level of toe milk. Put the
pail on the stove or over a gas
flame and heat it until the Their
mometer in the milk shows not
less than $50 nor more than l55
degrees Fahrenheit. The bottles
should be removed and allowed to
stand from twenty to thirty min
utes. The temperature will fall
slowly. but may be held more
uniformly By covering the bottles
with a towel. The punctured cap
should be replaced with a new one.
After the milk has been held as
directed it should be cooled as
quickly and as much as possible
by setting in water. TO avoid
danger of breaking the bottle bv
too sudden change of temperature,
this water should be warm at first.
Replace the warm water slowly
with cold water. After cooling,
milk should in all cases be held at
the lowest available temperature.
This method may be employd to
retard the sourin0 of milk or
cream for ordinary uses. 1t should
be remembered, however, that
pasteurization does not destroy. all
bacteria in milk, and after pasteu-
rization it should be kept cool and
used AS soon as possible. Cream
does not rise rapidly or separate
as completely in pasteurized milk
AS in raw milk.

TORPEDO BOAT
To Fight fast BattIeships of The
OreadnOught Type.

The feverish struggle for naval
supremacy centered upon the con-
struction of fast battleships of the
Dreadnought type, may shortly
veer to the problem of torpedo
attack as the next best method of
destroying the big vessels. The
present battleships will probably
be outdone in size by those now
being designed, but it is the opin-
ion of naval constructors that the
limit has been nearly reached.
There is still something to be
done in the way Of big guns. The
United States Navy is making
readyfor it's experiments with the
new fourteen Inch rife now doe at
the naval gun factory at Washing
ton, where it is TO be rifed and
where the breech mechanism is to
be attached. At steel plant
near Washington, the huge six
teen hundred pound projectiles it
will fire are being finished
The other method of penetrat-
ing a ships vitals by getting be-
low the waterline is the use of the
torpedo. The old type of torpedo,
which is she'll with quantity Of
guncottOn which explodes on con-
tact is not necessarily fatal to a
battleship.
Commander Davis, of the
United States Navy, conceived the
idea of putting gun inside the
torpedo which would, on contact,
fire she'll into the ship which
would penetrate the bulkhead,
bunkers ard whatever might lie
ia its path and explode in the in
terror of the ship. This weapon
is still in the experimental stage.
out the Navy Department will! be
ready for tests within a few
months.
In principle. the new Davis tor
pedo is practically a gun within a
gun. The torpedo is fired or
launched from the tube and in
turn shoots the she'll on contact
with the target.
AS its course lies under the sur
face of the water, the heavy armor
is useless in defense against it.
Moreover, the larger ships of the
DreadnOught type are giving so
much attention to big guns that
secondary batteries which would
be used against torpedo boats are
being cut down. The usual range
for torpedo at present is from
two thousand to three thousand
yards with fair accuracy. At one
thousand yards the PERCENTAGE of
hits is very high To get to this
range the torpedo boats and sub
marines must rely on stealth, as
the batteries of the warships could
demolish them at a much greater
distance.
