Keep Stiff Upper Lip.
There has something gone wrong,
My brave boy, it appears,
For ! see your proud struggle
To keep back the tears.
That is right; when you can not
Give trouble the slip,
Then bear it, still keeping
"A stiff upper lip!''
Though you can not escape
Disappointment and care,
There's one thing you can do
1t is, learn how to bear.
If when for life's prizes
You're running, you trip,
Get up, start again,
Keep stiff upper lip"
Let your hands and your conscience
Be honest and clean;
Scorn to touch or to think
OF the thing that is mean
But hold on to the pure
And the right with firm grip;
And though hard be the task,
Keep stiff upper lip"
Through childhood, through manhood,
Through life to the end,
Struggle bravely and stand
BY your colors, my friend;
Only yield when you must,
Never give up the ship"
But fight on to the last
with stiff upper lip"
Phoebe Carey.

German Mode of Preserving MILK.
A German patent specification de-
scribes process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means Of the addition Of small guam
tity of ferrous carbonate. The process
is based on the fact that freshly-pre-
cipitated ferrous carbonate In the pres
ence of oxygen Immediately assimiiates
oxygen and evolves an equivalent guam
tity OF carbon dioxide. One part of
ferrous carbonate Is sufficient for 5O,-
600 parts of milk, and the properties
Of the milk are not altered in any way
by the addition, which should be made
before the milk is boiled.
