DANGER FROM ICE.
No Article of Food Is So careIessiy
Handled

| No Article of Food Is So CareIessIy
Handled.
A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
emphasizes one cause of the danger
| of infection from ice.
Scarcely another article of human
consumption receives so much direct
handling just before its use as does
| this food. Milk and water. tea and
coffee are poured. Bread. meat and
butter are cut. Bread. probably ham
died more than any other food on the
list. has Il hard crust which offers q
rather unfavorable lodging place for
germ life. Ice. on the contrary,
washes the hands of every person who
handles il and affords an ever ready
liquid medium for the immediate abb
SOrption Of the hosts of bacteria which
hands may carry. The carelessness of
the handlers of ice. their utter disre-
gard of the resting places where 1t
may receive infection, may be partly
due to their lack of realization that ice
is a food. as real a food as meat.
Whatever the cause, few substances
which pass through the digestive proc
esSeS of man receive such treatment.
Its surface contaminated by the pas
sage of men and horses in the cutting.
its sides and base fouled by muddled
platforms and Smirched straw. cover
ed with the filth of black ice cars and
dust swept freight stations. your cake
of ice commonly receives its only
cleaning just before it enters the ice
chest. So far as the iceman is con-
cPrned this is generally Il haSty brush
with time worn whisk broom well
filled with the dust of the street and
blackened with constant use. Accord
ing to the personal testimony of vari-
Gus icemen. not even the precaution Of
n mOmentary washing beneath the
faucet is ordinarily taken.

When onportunity Knocks.

A New Jersey farmer whose farm
is near a school for boys was greatly
annoyed by the depredations of the
youngsters. Finding two of the boys
helrinG themselves to his choice ap-
Piles. he ushered them from his prem
ises. ably assisted by the toe of his
boot.
The following day he found the
same boys lettering in the vicinity of
his orchard fence.

round here for?' he shouted. 81 told
you yesterday what you'd git If

MISSION OF THE LAND.
To Produce Commodities For the Serv-
ice of Mankind.

To Produce Commodities For the Serv-
ice of Mankind.
The mission of the land is TO pro-
duce and keep on producing food. live
stock. lumber and other commodities
for the service of man. He who owns
land and is Indifferent TO this is guilty
of Il moral wrong. and he who takes
good land out of commission and Suf-
fers it to lie unproductive and useless
is guilty of Il greater one. This is the
only criterion by which we can prop
erly judge of the right of an Individual
10 own land i'm large tracts.
The good results attendant upon
small individual holdings are natural.
The purposes of nature in the upward
evolution of man are usually better
carried ont in this way. and not be-
cause. as is so frequently argued,
every man has an inherent right to its
ownership. The lazy. the incapable
and the denscly ignorant assnredly
have no such right. and land is too
precious and its mission too high to be
thus wasted.
IL the owner of a great country es-
tate can farm his land as well as or
better than if il were in small hold
ingS; If. following the precept of Swift.
he made two ears of corn or two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before: if he supply his section with
better breed of horses. cattle or sheep,
well and good. No one with any
knowledge of economies could say he
was doing any injury to the world or
mankind Ii is not the amount of land
that he OWNS. but what he does with
it for which he is morally responsible.

RISEN FROM THE TOMB.
The Romance Of senedello Mareello,
the Venetian Composer.

the Venetian Composer.
Benedello Marcello, one Of the most
famous Venetian composers, fell in
love with beautiful girl named
Leonora Manfrotti. who married Paolo
Seranzo, q Venetian noble. She died
q short time after her marriage, a vic
tim to the harsh and jealous treatment
Of her husband.
Her body was laid out in state In
the church Of Wei Frarl, and her lover
actually succeeded in stealing the
corpse and conveying 1t to ruined
crypt In one Of the Islands, and here
he sat day and night by his lost love,
singing and playing to her, as though
by the force Of his art he could recall
her to life.
Leonora had a twin sister, Eliade,
who was so like her that her closest
friends could scarcely distinguish
them. One day Eliade heard singer
In a gondola singing so exquisitely
that she traced the gondola to the de-
serted island, and there she learned
later the fate Of her sisters corpse and
the identity Of Marcelo. Aided by a
servant, Eliade substituted herself for
her sisters body, and when Marcello
returned and called Leonora to awake
he did not ask in vain, for apparently
she rose alive from the coffin. Marcel

quite satisfied and married Eliade, but
his happiness was short lived, as he
died a few years decentralization

they beat any novel ever read or ex-

Whittier's Visitor.

Pilgrims used to visit Whittier con-
tinually. A typical one came from
Missouri. Though told that Whittier
had a headache, he forced his way
into the poets study, where he de-
clared that he adored all Whittiers
works, which he knew almost by
heart. He asked Whittier to write
his name several hundred times on
q large sheet of foolscap, so that he
could cut out and distribute the auto
graphs among his Missouri friends
In fact, 1t was all the poet could do
to keep the enthusiastic Missourian
from clipping all the buttons from his
coat as souvenirs.
"And all the time" so Whittier
would end the anecdote pathetically-
call the time he called me White
taker."-Exchange.
