BENEFICENT BACTERIA.

The marvel of the trained fleas is
made to appear in the light of very
ordinary performance by the latest
accomplishment of the psychologists,
The point has been reached in the
work of these manipulators of the
microscopic organisms, where all
army of germs can be made to march
up and down the interiors of mankind,
watching for undesirable microbe cit
liens and prepared to annihilate the
invaders. This means that germs
have been discovered that prey upon
other germs and are now being en-
ployed in the laboratory to eXtermi-
nate the naughty microbes. There is
also a detective force of germs that
is employed to locate the bad ones of
their associates and to bring them to
Justice. There is something about
this work that seems uncanny; but it
is being performed with great practi-
cal benefit. The infection of milk,
the contamination of water supplies,
the carelessness of food-purveyors-
all these problems are traced out to a
successful conclusion by the marvel
Gus work of the bacteriologist 1t is
wonderful achievement by science
but it is passing from the speculative
stage into the realm of certainty and
this makes it all the more remarkable.

A MODERN CRUSO.

H. L. Dikeman lived for "a years
within IL miles of Anacortes and last
week was the first time he deigned to
visit that prosperous little seaport.
Mr.. Dikeman is 70 years of age and
served two years in the U. S. Navy,
1S47 and 1S48.
In 1875 Mr.. Dikeman came to Skagit
county, locating on Lopez Island
where he has a 20-acre ranch. His
farm houses are unique, being built
of upright, second-growth timbers in
the rough and covered with cedar
shakes. For the last fifteen years he
has been away from Lopez Island only
once and never once over night. He
is now planning to go to California
to spend the coming winter
Mr. Dikeman is an eager reader of
current literature and a regular sub
scriber of seven standard magazines,
including the Century, Review of Re-
views. Cosmopolitan, American, Ma
tional and Saturday Evening Post.
Physically he is a marvel of rugged
age, tall, lean, bronze, short gray
beard, keen brown eyes-and only
two teeth. For 60 years he has been
immune to illness of any kind. Last
winter he sawed, split and piled rs
cords of wood without whimper.-

THE MEN OF IRON.

| sing of the Men of IRON
Who in the days gone by
Full fifty years and more ago,
Through winters numbing, drifting
snow,
And then when summer sun was high,
Bravely built the iron highway,
Over the Indian trail and byway
Over the wilder West,
over the mountain crest,
over the rivers breast.
Aye, sing of the Men of Iron
Young men who dreamed the dreams,
Old men who saw the vision grand
Of Western empire mighty, spanned
BY engine travelled trail that CLEANS
From where the lakes and streams
On to Puget Sound,
90 on the bound
Over the Main Divide,
Over prairies wide,
On to the oceans side.
Yes, sing of the Men of IRON
Undying be their fame
For many a graceful, arching bridge,
And many a conquered mountain ridge
And many a city bears their name
Empire builders they of old
Poets, prophets, princes bold;
Men of Iron-strong,
To you shall e'er belong
glad triumphant song.
Harold B. Crozier in the Bellman.

THE HOME Mis-. a. za Ct. a sn

demonstrated that bran is better.
Have large fat cushion, filled with
bran, to fit tightly just under your
box-lid, and now your cooker is ready
for the fuel-saving business.
Of course, the food must be started
to cooking on a fire in your kitchen
range. AS soon as the pots begin to
boil take quickly from the fire and
put into the cooker without removing
the lids. Then place the fat pillow
on top and put the lid down tight
1t will need no more attention until
time to dish up the dinner, and besides
the great saving of labor and fuel,
the food is richer in flavor and more
nutritious, for nothing is lost in gases,
as in the old way of cooking. The
earthenware cooking vessels are
incest though granite, porcelain or
iron will do.

Cottage Cheese.-Take a pan of
thick, firm sour milk and set at the
back of the range where the heat is
very temperate. After a time turn
the mass over very carefully with
spoon, that both sides may be heated
alike. Remove from the fire before the
curd becomes hard, and drain carefully
from the whey. Work fine with the
hands, and season with salt, pepper
and liberal quantity of sour cream.
For a change some finely chopped
onion may be added and is a great i'm

CARE OF METAL DISHES.

Tin is very easily acted upon by
acid and in no case should acid foods
be allowed to stand in tin. To clean
the blackened surface of tin rub it
thoroughly with common baking soda
which has been mOistened; rinse thor
Oughly and wipe, then polish. Zinc
may be cleaned with vinegar and salt
or with whiting. Aluminium darkens
quite easily and should be washed as
soon as possible after use. Nickle
and silver should be cleaned with
whiting or prepared chalk or allowed
to stand in a weak solution of am
monia and water, after which it should
be washed and wiped Granite and
porcelain should never be scraped but
soaked in weak solution of soda wa
ter, then washed in clear warm water,
not hot water, and wiped. Soda may
be used to clean all dishes which con-
tain grease The alkal in the soda
unites with the fat forming a soap.
Heat aids in the formation so it is
wise to set spiders, kettles, etc., on
the stove as soon as the soda is added.
Milk may be sufficiently paSteuriZed
in the household by setting the bottle
of milk in a vessel containing water,
and heating the water until the milk
reaches a temperature of about $50
degrees. 1t may then be removed
from the stove and allowed to stand
for twenty to twenty-five minutes
The temperature of the water will be
above that of the milk, and while it
slowly cools the milk will be thor
oughly heated 1t should then be
chilled at once and kept until used.
