POISONED MILK.

Editor Advertiser:-The Gangrega-
tienalist says: 1.-THE chairman of the
Board of Health at Haverhill, Mass,
reports that last year four deaths re-
suited from alcoholism in that city and
fortyeight from impure milk With
out diseouraging those who devote
themselves to prohibition, it is surely
worth while to stir up others to save
the children from death by drinking
poisoned milk. -
| hope there will be more than one
pure milk depot, So that old folks as
well as the children may be able to get
pure, unadulterated milk.

AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way Il Was Described by an
Educated Native.

c. J. Phillips. business agent In
Uganda Of the Church Missionary So
ciety. throws light upon the workings
of the native mind by quoting re-
markable letter In which native
member Of the katikiro's (prime minis
ter'sD party gives a description OF the
Uganda railway.
"My friend, | can tell you the Euro
peans have done n marvellous thing to
make the railway and the trains. They
fasten ten or fifteen houses together
and attach them to fireplace which
Is as big as an elephant. and the road
It goes on is as smooth as the stem OF
q plantain. II goes as fast as a swal-
low flying. and everything you see out
side fits past you like spark from II
fire. IL Il were TO drop of one of the
bridges not one In II would be saved.
for 1t goes dreadfully quick. The hills
1t passes are as high as those of kokl.
and they have bridged over great val
leys which are as deep as that you see
when you look from the top OF Nami'
rembo. so deep that you cannot see the
bottom when you are going over them"
Later there follows description Of
a ship: 1T is as deep as our two sto-
ried house and as wide as the kings
road in Mengo. and II Is as long as
from the katikiro's fence TO the gate
OF the kings Enclosure. II has three
tall poles In 1t and big throat out OF
which smoke comes. which is as wide
as the new drum In the church ut Ma
mircmbo. The rooms In II go down
three stories, and the boards of these
cannot describe to you. for such have
not been seen before. There Is n lot
of metal work about them. too. hut
these also ] cannot describe. for II Is
so fine. There are children on board
and flock Of sheep and places "a
wash In attached TO every place where
chief sleeps, such as even our kline
has never possessed. "-London Strand

Bismarck and 8.

Bismarck had an intense aversion to
l3, but veneration for the num-
Der 3. His reasons for his pre-
objection were that he ser, ed three
masters; he was responsible for and
fought In three great wars; he signed
three treaties of peace; he arranged
the meeting OF three cmperors: he es-
tablished the triple alliance; In the
Franco Prussian war three horses We're
killed under him; he had three names
bismarck. Schoenhausen and Lauen-
burg: he acquired three titles count,
prince. dukel; the ancient arms of his
family are leaf OF clover and three
oak leaves. His family motto. In
trinitate robur" cStrength In trim
ity'D. was surely In itself sufficient to
give n leaning in this particular direc-
ton. So closely were his feelings as
ISOLATED with the triple number that
the caricatnrists represented him with
three hairs OH his head He had three
children.

NESTS IN GULF WEED.
Breeding Place Of the Flying Fish In
the Sargasso Sea.


In the middle of the north Atlantic
there is an area Of comparatively still
water almost equal to continental
Europe in extent and more or less
covered with floating seaweed. II was
known as the Mar de Sargaco to Co.
Is the Sargasso sea OF modern geog
raphers.
The floating seaweed was formerly
supposed TO have grown near the Ba-
hama and Florida shores and to have
drifted TO its present position. II Is
now, however. known TO grow and
propagate itself where II Is found. In
1t are found globular masses Of weed
containing fish eggs and known rs fish
nests.
Investigations show that the floating
weed OF the Sargasso sea is the chosen
breeding place of species of flying fish.
The eggs found In the nests were at
tributed to certain species Of fish found
resting on them. but careful examina-
ton of the eggs shows that they really
belong to flying fish.
Apparently. however, the flying fish
do not make the nests themselves.
Each end of the egg Of these fish is
furnished with punches Of very long
Elementary tendrils, and by means OF
these the finely divided branches of
the Sargassum weed have been caught
together In globular masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own
nest.-London Field.

Old Book Terms.

The words folio. quarto. octave. duo
declmo and the like have almost II not
quite lost their original meaning. ~
first they had reference only To the
number OF leaves into which the sheets
used In making the books were folded.
Thus II these sheets were folded once
so as to form two leaves or four pages
the book was called folio; II the
sheets were folded twice so as to form
four leaves the book was called n
quarto; II they were folded four times
so as TO form eight leaves the book
was called an octave. and so on.
