AN EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIANITY.

AS an evidence of Christianity, in
Washington, D. c., the Caucasian citi-
Zens Of Bloomingdale and Reservoir
Heights sections Of that city, held a
meeting in Christian CD church,
Church of the Advent, corner of Second
and U streets. at which the principal
business was the consideration of the
question of ''protection from invasion
by colored persons" The newspaper
report ended with the following:
"The reading Of letter Of denial
from the A. F. Fox real estate concern,
and adoption Of resolution to at
tempt to preserve the section of the
city for white residents formed the
concluding business of the meeting.
The real estate company made de.
NAL of a report that it has ever know
ingly sold or rented real estate in
Bloomingdale or Reservoir Heights to
colored tenants. The dealers asserted
hearty sympathy with the idea OF
keeping colored residents out of white
sections The letter stated that in
some instances colored persons have
induced white men to make rea
estate purchases for them in places
where they thought they might be
barred, if it were known the propert,

1t is considered worthy of celebrat-

upon the tempestuous sea OF matri-

out When a couple happily sail for all
even dozen of years, it is often made
the occasion Of a big celebration
Such was the case WIKI Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry High, who celebrated their
twelfth anniversary, or "Silk and Lin
en- wedding" last Thursday evening
at their splendid home, 674 St. An
thony ave. "
Mr.. and Mrs. High have been prom
1nent workers in church, fraternal and
society circles for years, and count
their friends in large numbers, so it
was not surprising that those friends
took the opportunity afforded to show
their friendship and esteem as they
did last Thursday night by filling the
mouse to overlooking during the hours
OF the reception And, to use a COM
mon expression, it was "some" re-
ception if anybody should ask you,
The guests began to arrive about
$3.50 o'clock, and about half hour
later the wedding march was played
by Miss Albreta Bell, at the close of
which the following unique ceremony
was performed by Rev. E. II. McDon-
aid:
My friends, marriage is a funny
thing. Happy is the man that marries
"a woman, who has plenty Of money

poor fellow who marries a woman who

Wilt thou, Henry High, take this
woman who now stands by your side,
to be your lawless and extravagant
wife? Will you provide money for her
whenever wanted? Will you get up

(The groom answered, 81 wilt.'')
Wilt thou, Birdie High, have this
man whose arm you hold to be your
obedient, humble and faithful servant,
will you keep him working hard,
bringing in the money, as fast as you
can spend it, will you wash his clothes
and iron them, and will you comb his
hair-or his head? Will you cook his
meals, and have them ready on time,
will you prefer to be club woman or

QUALITY OF MILK.
1t Can Easily Be Determined by Using
the Candle Test.

the NanoIe ! est.
Here is a very simple way in which
10 test the quality OF the milk you
buy. First stir the milk with a spoon
in order to disseminate into the whole
liquid the cream which may have
come to the surface. Then one vol
ume of milk is poured into fifty vol
umes Of water-one fluid ounce to two
and a half pints. A candle is lighted
in a dark room. Take an ordinary
drinking glass with a tolerably fat
and even bottom and hold it right
above the candle at a distance Of
about one foot from it, so as to be
able 10 see the flame of the candle
through the bottom of the glass Then
po2r slowly the diluted milk into the
glass.
The flame becomes less bright as
the level Of the liquid rises into the
glass. The fame Is soon reduced to a
duh white spot. A little more liquid
slowly added. so as to avoid pouring
an excess. and the fame becomes alb
sOlutely invisible. All that remains TO
be done is to measure the height of
the liquid in the glass, this being most
conveniently ascertained by dipping
into II a strip Of pasteboard and then
measuring the wet part. 1t should
measure not over one inch if the milk
is pure. With good quality milk. Of
luted and tested as stated. the depth
will be about seven-eighths of an inch
before the flame is lost to view. A
mixture of one volume of milk and q
half a volume Of water should show
depth Of one and Il half inches. A
depth of two inches indicates either
partially skinned milk or a mixture
of one volume Of good milk and one
I Of water, and SO on.
The process is based upon the Close
relation between the opacity of mill
! and the number OF fatty corpuscIe.
/ contained in it. Both skimming and
/ the adding of water work in the same
/ direction - ma mely, to decrease the
opacity Of milk. The same cannot bt
