Sterilization by Light.
Milk is now being sterilized in Paris
by submitting to the action OF ultra
violet rays, thus avoiding the use of
heat or treatment by chemical anti
septic substances. 1t has long been
known that light without heat can de-
stroy heterogeneous, and in 1898 it
was proved that from the ultraviolet
part of the spectrum there proceeded
rays that had a bactericidal effect. 1t
was further shown that glass stopped
these rays, which, however, passed
easily through quartz
1t has taken over seven years to turn
this knowledge to general use; but
now, in Paris, an apparatus has been
made by which ultraviolet rays,
through quartz, sterilze 1872 gallons of
water an hour.
After much trouble the sterilizing
Of milk has been successfully accom-
plished, although its opaQueness was
at first a difficulty.
Eggs n PAurOra.
Melt one tablespoonful of butter in q
frying pan and mix in one tablespoon
full of flour, rubbing the two together
until the mixture is thick. Then pour

tablespoonful of vinegar in the water
! used for washing the silverware and

A Sick-ROOm Hint.
Ice can be kept from melting a long
time in the sick room by the following
method: Take an ordinary porcelain
pudding dish. Over the top tie a
large OF clean, old, white flannel. In
side the dish let the flannel bag down.
so as to nearly touch the porcelain
bottom. Set as much ice as will be
needed for time into this flannel
bag and cover il by throwing back the
long points hanging outside the dish
and cut tiny hole in the bottom of
the bag that the ice may drain quickly.
mus, suspended and covered, a piece
OF Ice melts very slowly even in a
warm room. When a feverish patient
demands bit every few minutes, a
neat little homemade device for crack
ing silently little Jumps of ice, as they
are required. is made by inserting the
head of NO. 8 needle into a good
sized cork. By merely pressing stead
lily the needle against the ice, it will
quickly split it apart.
Does a Man Realize2

copies their ways, apes their manners
and modes of speech to a greater or
less extent, according to the strength
OF the initiative faculties. We seem to
realize this everywhere else better
