Kings Mspsenaers.

Though now only seven in number,
the British kings messengers are a
small body with much importance.
They carry letters and dispatches
from the king and foreign office to
ambassadors and ministers abroad.
and the railway and steamboat com.
panies make special arrangements for
their convenience. Each messenger
carries . six-inch silver-gilt badge and
number. The badge consists of the
royal arms and a motto in an oval sur
mounted by a crown. and from 1t
hangs a silver greyhound. which gives
the messengers their romantic title
of silver greyhounds." These are
often employed to carry personal mes
sages from the king and queen to
their relatives on the continent. In
Queen victoria's reign a messenger
used to call each week at Brussels to
receive from the royal kitchen tin
of biscuits which were fancied by her
late majesty.

The Town Cow.

It is surprising fact to many to
learn that there are very consider
able number of cows kept within
the limits of every great city. Cows
are \ familiar sight on the streets of
many small towns, but in our vast
congested urban centers the sight Of
one is very unusual. OF course the
number Of COWS here Il much small
or in proprtion to the population, and
1t is very unfortunate in many ways
that there are not more cows dwelling
in our midst. 80 to speak.
The city COW, when owned and man
aged by professional milkman, has
proved to be considerable menace
to health in the past, entirely due to
the way in which such animals have
been handled We do not wish to be
understood as advocating the opera
tion of commercial dairy herds under
urban conditions, but we do believe
firmly that 1t would be great agent
for the better health OF city children
II there were more city cows owned
by their parents.
Census figures show that the infant
mortality rate in large cities IL much
higher than among children Of the
same class, age, and mode OF life In
smaller towns or In the country.
While number Of factors combine
to bring about the early passing away
on comparatively large proportion OF
the little children who, are unfortunate
enough to be born in . large city. the
scientists who give their time and
thought to these serious problems are
almost unanimously agreed that the
greatest single factor behind these
atrociously high infant death rates Is
that OF impure milk.
Impure milk has. and still does. reap
terrible harvest, and among oose
who are least able to help themselves.

posed organic matter. it, NTH OF vari-
