form it without question or murmur.
But though this is true Of most Of our ordinary
acts, scarcely an hour passes without the occurrence
of cases in which q certain amount Of struggle has
to take place; various desires press conflicting claims
and choice has to be made. The struggle may
be SO slight as to be almost imperceptible or it
may be great enough to cause physical pain as
well as deep mental anxiety. But whether the
struggle be great or not, it is these moments
in which it occurs which form the character.

PRESERVATION or MILK.

A German patent specification de-
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of the addition of a small
quantity of ferrous carbonate. The
process is based on the fact that
freshly precipitated ferrous carbon
ate in the presence of oxygen imme-
diately assimilates oxygen and
evolves an equivalent quantity of
carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous
carbonate is sufficient for $4,000
parts of milk, and the properties Of
the milk are not altered in any way
by the addition, which should bs
made before the milk is boiled.
