How to Drink MllIt.

The proper way of drinking milk Is little understood. Thousands of people drink glass of milk without remov- ing the receptacle from their lips No sooner does this mass Of milk reach the stomach than the gastric juices curdle 1t and form masses of hard, tough and impeneuable curd. If the digestion is sufficiently vigorous it may be- taken care of. but few have such digestion. If the milk were drunk slowly. at the, same time piece of bread being taken. 1t would be finely divided and the curd would be broken up and the processes of digestion would proceed readily. However. 1t is an evident rule that milk should never be taken rapidly In any considerable quantity, but should be slowly slipped or taken with a spoon or in connec- ton with bread or some dry cereal

HOW TO SWEEP A ROOM.

Work Can Be Made Easy by Proper
 Methods. #"#
 In the first place, supply yourself with sweeping sheets. Many times the soiled sheets from the bed are used for this purpose. but that is not exact ly clean methodv If you do not have them already buy the coarse, un- bleached cotton cloth, double width. and bind with turkey red Make the sheets big enough to cover the largest piece of furniture you wish to protect The next thing Is to dress properly for the work. Have a cotton frock which fits easily in the waist and sleeves SO that your arms may move unham- pered. easy shoes, sweeping cap and a pair of loose old gloves Carry from the room all small objects which you cannot lay on couches or chairs that can be covered Dust them before you lay them aside. Then move out of the room all small furniture which can be taken from the room easily, dusting it carefully also. Now cover with the dusting sheets all the remaining pieces of furniture. using the smaller sheets for the pictures. Remove rugs and the like. Have ready the damp tea leaves or shreds of paper. for if Is not wise to do dry sweeping. The dust will fly DO matter what you may do. The damp tea leaves prevent 1t flying about and settling down again in the crew. ices and corners. Sweep from the cor ners toward the center of the room.

struggle of our boys in laying those bridges under the sharpshooting fire. You crossed similar bridges and you had a chance to see the havoc of war as it was told by the effect on the city. Houses and churches were riddled. It was a hospital city. The wounded from the battlefield of the Wilderness were brought there. Youmarched up through the city. You will remember the pits dug within the city, especially in the upper part, where ltIwould have been hot work to have carried those works if there had been any force to contend with.
 You halted for the night on the heights above the city, and had & good chance to look around You visited "Marye's Heights" where Sedgwick made that desperate struggle to carry them. It was a sight to see these works. where our forces surged back and forth. But the battle of Fredricksburgh was a failure and has gone down into history as such.
 You will remember that you had a chance to go over the heights very min utely, You remember the stone wall below the house on "Marye's Height, " how it made an impregnable defence, and history tells you, that the boys were thrown against these defences four diff ferent times but meeting with terrible slaughter each time. If the general or dering that charge could have seen the utter hopelessness of carrying that work as you saw it, no charge would have been made at that point. But it has gone down in history as one of the bloody angles" of the war.
 You lay above the heights, on the ground, the night of the 18th of May, and slept very soundly. In the morn ing you got your breakfast and then started on your trip for the army of the Potomac, and passed many landmarks ofinterest, particularly the Massaponax church, brick structure in the woods These churches were scattered about in Virginia without regard to being in csn- ters of population, but at cross roads where they were easy of access. Dur ing this day you crossed four small streams, each named after a syllable of the mattaL ony river, viz Mat -ta. pony" |" These rivers you usually forded. and then out into the sandy roads, much to the discomfort of your feet, as we'll as the destruction of your poor shoes, which were made like Hodges sell. |" As for shoes, you could get others but but feet, no, and you found these ap- pendageS very necessary in the business before you, and sand and water were not always mixed in proportions to your comfort.

How to Avoid Any Danger From Eat
 ing MolIusks.
 Authoritative confirmation iS given in a British expert report 10 the tneo- ry. which has Seen disputed In this country. of the trHnsmission of dlsease through the medium of shellbsh and particularly, for obvious reasons. Ot those varieties of shelltsh which arc often eaten uncooked The report is made by Dr. Bulstrodo for the London local government board, and after cit ing in detail n number of well uttested cases of illness arising from the con sumption of shellhsh 1t says:
 "Fron. tue foregoing illustrations. which could be supplemented without difficulty, 1t will have become apparent that circumstantial evidence approxi- mating as nearly to proof as is pracu- cable in investigations of this nature points to the conclusion that numer- ous outbreaks of enteric fever. of gas- tro-enteritis and of obscure intoxica- tons are to be attributed to the con- sumption of certain shellfish toysters. mussels and cocklesl"
 1t would be foolish to become fright ened and abjure all the delicious and nutritious forms of food which mol lusks supply. Despite the numerous" outbreaks to which pr. Bulstrode re- fers and which have been perhaps more numerous here than in England, probably not more than one shellnsh in a million of those consumed has done its consumer harm. Yet it would also be foolish to incur needlessly even SO small risk as that propor- ton suggests. For it's avoidance pr. Bulstrode prescribes two courses. Ono naturally is to cook thoroughly all shellhsh before eating them. The oth- CT and much the better, since mul- titude of persons want them raw, is to prevent the gathering of edible shellfsh from or the storage of them in contaminated water. New York Tribune. ..#
