Sterilization by Light.

From the London Mail.
Milk is now being sterilized in Paris by
submitting il 10 the action Of ultra violet
rays, thus avoiding the use OF heat or
treatment by chemical antiseptic sub
stances. 1t has long been known that
light without heat can destroy micro
organisms. and in 1893 II was proved that
from the ultraviolet part OF the spec
trum there proceeded rays that had a
bactericidal effect. II was further shown
that glass stopped these rays, which,
however. passed easily through quartz.
II 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,
sterllize 1S2 gallons OF water an hour
After much trouble the sterllizing OF
milk has been successfully accomplished,
although its opaqueness was at first
difficulty

For the Stove.

Try polishing the stove before the
backing is dry and see what great
gloss you get. For the fancy part use
one brush for applying and another for
polishing. The old discarded eiderdowr
dressing sack or pieces of an old elder
down coat make excellent polishers. Old
pieces of flannel are also very good.

Early Spring Saved Deer

A great falling off in the number
of reports of deer slaughtered since
March, when between So and &C
were reported, is due partly to the
passing of the snow which allows the
deer better chance of escape from
pursuing dogs, and in measure to
vigilance of game wardcns, as there
is a large reduction in the number
reported illegally killed. The whole
number reported for April and May
was 32. OF these, IL were killed by
dogs, one in Greensboro. two in
Middlesex, two in East Arlington.
one in Plymouth Union, one in
Weathersfeld, one in Stratton, one
in South Royalton, found in the
river; two in Waterbury, one in
Reading, one in Townsend, two in
Cavendish, and two in Pittsford.
Eleven deer were shot,-one in
Bralntree, one in Woodstock, shot
and leg broken, and killed by order
of warden; one in Chelsea, one in
Huntington, crippled and killed by
warden, one in Lunenburg, meat
taken; one in Brookline, hind quar-

TORE THEMSELVES AWAY.

II Was Hard For the Audience to Leavs
After the Lecture.
Gone of my most surprising ex-
periences," said lecturer, "was a
comparatively small thing that has
left an unforgettable impression. 1t
occurred in a small town hall that
had just been refurnished and re-
decorated. The seats were of that
collapsible wooden kind with leath-
er bottoms, and they had all been
freshly and neatly vanished.

lecture platform, my remarks went
off excellently. The audience was

they sat and looked at me. 1t was
a small hall, and there were only a
dozen or 80 rows of seats immedi-
ately in front of me. l could see
the faces of all the people, and the
expressions puzzled me. In fact,
each face wore almost the same ex-
preston of surprise, astonishment
and indignation. Here and there
one of them would start to get up
and then change his mind and re-
main, thinking it over. They SEEM

nished, and my entire audience was
stuck to them. / began to wonder
whether l should have to call for
the janitor and pry them off one
after another.
Fortunately one man, sitting in
the front row, had the courage to
meet the situation. He drew him
self together, made mighty eff
fort and rose suddenly to his feet.
The thing happened just as every
body had expected. There was a
tearing sound as he left the var
nish, but he was on his feet and
had set an example that the rest
felt they must follow or remain

successful escape of that one de-
termined man inspired the others.

ports, like a line of infantrymen

frances. But the expression with
which most of them looked back at
those newly vanished chairs was
something to remember. ."-Y outh's

by them while ploughing in a tietd

of ten years. The soldiers invited
him to join their ranks, but he
replied that he did not know what to
do with the horse, but on being told
to leave it he.very readily consented
to be one Of their number, and fell
into the ranks beside John Manney
of Randolph and was in his company,
Co. G, 9th regiment, for two years.
He first acted as servant to Captain
Livingstone of Montpelier and later
to Lieutenant William Holman Of
Randolph.
AT the termination ofMr. Holman's
service, he took Ben" back here with
him and gave him the advantages of
district school education, which he
improved SO that he acquired quite
an education, which made him capa-
