WHY MILK SOURS.

Perhaps you have often wondered
why it is that if you let milk stand
for short time. especially in warm
weather, it will turn sour and become
unfit to use in your tea or coffee, but
If it is boiled and then sealed up in
some sort of air-tight can or jar it
will keep for any length of time in
any weather
Many persons believe that thun-
derstorm will turn milk sour, and If
you ask them what the thunder.
which is nothing but noise, can do to
the milk. you will find that they have
no idea. but they Just know it is so.
So, there!
The reason that milk turns sour is
that 1t contains a small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar In the
milk. When the milk is boiled these
microbes are killed and the acid is
never developed. Warm air, and even
electricity in the air. is very favor
able to the rapid growth of these
microbes, which are really sort of
plant, and all plants flourish in
warmth.
The acid which is made by these
microbes in the milk is called Tactic
acid. and II the milk is good and clean
1t is none the worse for turning
sour, although it is not just the thing
to put in tea. For some persons sour
milk is much more wholesome drink
than sweet milk, and is recommended
by some doctors for the cure of GER
tain diseases. There is famous
Chinese statesman who believes he
will live to be $50 years old because
he drinks so much sour milk every
day

WIT AND HUMoR
Choosing His Passengers.

p. V. Daniel. Virginia Gentleman"
was one of the general officers of the
Did Richmond, Fredericksburg & Po-
.omac Railroad.
Even in those days before the Civil
War, the road was prosperous, and at
meeting of the board of directors
some progressive introduced resolu-
hon to reduce the rate for passengers
from II cents to IL cents a mile.
Instantly Daniel, who was chairman,
declared the motion "out of order"
"Why?" protested it's patron.
"Why!" thundered Daniel. "If you
do that. you will have every rag-tag
and bobtail in the State of Virginia
riding on our road. That's 'why'!"
The resolution was unanimously
tabled.-Everybody's Magazine.

to these matters In order to show how
dark and dismal is the outlook as 1t
appears to the black man, and who
while surveying all sides for some ray
or hope, is pondering seriously on
the trivial matter of self-preservation.
And the movement for the native to
become united in his own interest in
South Africa is the inevitable and
natural course which the native must
take everywhere, as being forced upon
him by the memorable conditions with
which he is menaced. Let US get
together" is the step suggested by his
awakened consciousness, and the
widespread character of which is de-
noted by a like echo from the gold
coast And while, as is accurately ex-
pressed by the editor of Tsaldea Be-
coana, "the native is not in any way
looking for antagonism," he desires to
get together in order to discuss the
outlook for him, social, political and
economic, and to render it possible
for the formulation by the native him
self from his own standpoint of the
stand he should take under the exigen.
cies of present-day life and activities.

A GLOBE TROTTIhG DOG
CANINE PET OF RUSSIAN AM.
BASSADOR'S WIFE HAS A
RECORD.

Nine. Bakhmetieff, wife of the Rus
sian ambassador, has pet dog, Rem
mey by name, and Remmy is a claim
ant for the globe trotting record. He
bars dogs that live on tramp steam
ships.
Remmey is French bulldog, five
years old. He was born in Paris,
where Nine. Bakhmetieff bought him.
Shortly afterward her husband was
made ambassador to Japan and Rem
mey was taken there, says the St.
Paul Pioneer Press. From Japan he
continued on right around the earth
and back to Paris, making one COM
plete circuit. Diplomatic entries
called M Bakhmetieff to the far east
once more and Nine. Bakhmetieff
accompanied her husband on another
complete tour of the world, taking
Remmey with her. When they got
back to Paris he had been around the
world twice. Since then the dog has
paid visits to many foreign countries.
At present he is making himself quite
at home in Washington. Whenever
he goes walking with Nine Bakhme-
tieff he wears a brilliant red collar
that attracts attention. Nine. Bakh-
metieff is a sister of Mrs John R.
Mclean and one of the most promi-
nent leaders in Washington society.

INTERNAL MACHINE FOUND IN
PRESIDENTS oFFlcE-QUlck
ACTION SAVES LIVES.
SIX POUNDS DYNAMITE
BOX CONTAINED SUFFICIENT EX-
PLosIVEs TO WRECK EXEC
UTIVE OFFICES.
western Newspaper Onion News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-An attempt was made
on the life of President Taft when
someone sent to the White House an
Internal machine addressed to the
chief executive. Had the machine gone
off, probably everyone in the office OF
the secretary to the President would
have been killed. AS it was, Sherman
Allen, the assistant secretary, was
hurt, and he only slightly. He re-
ceived burn on the hand when he
smothered the burning fuse which
greeted him when he opened the box
containing the machine.
Secret Service men were promptly
notified of the affair and the machine
turned over to them for examination
When they had finished they reported
that the machine contained six pounds
of highly explosive dynamite, power
full enough to have destroyed the exec
utive offices.
There is little chance of such an at
tempt on the life of the chief execu-
tive proving successful, for PresideEt
Taft never opens any of his mail or
express packages, every one of them
passing through the hands of one or
two secretaries.
Sherman Allen found the package
containing the Internal machine on his
desk when he reached the White
House Wednesday morning. When he
opened it and saw a burning fuse he
was quick to act, smothering the fuse
with his bare hand. AS consequence
he received a slight burn, but saved
his life and that of all his fellow
workers.
The matter was quickly hushed up
only a few persons knowing anything
about it. The Secret Service will at
once begin an investigation with a
view to finding put who sent the ma
chine.
This is not the first time an attempt
has been made on the life of the Pres
ident ty means of an internal machine,
but it is the first time one has come SC
near going off in the office of the
President.
Just how the internal machine got
into the desk of Assistant Secretary
Alien, WHOSe uutS IL 10 " oPSh al man
has not yet been determined. All that
Allen knows is that he found the
small neat-looking package, addressed
to the President of the United States
on his desk: that he never for mo
ment thought of the possibility that
there was anything wrong with it, and
that he opened it as he does all other
mail.
After removing the outer wrapper
he found a small box with a sliding
cover. This he slid back only to re
veal a fuse which had been ignited
by the movement of the cover Quick
er than the thought, he grasped the
fuse and jerked it out, at the same
time smothering the fire in the palm
of his hand.

Ritcbie never let up for second and was apparently in good condition at the end of the fight. The decision was left to the sporting writers of the local papers.
