Lived on Milk.

One day, while dining at the house
of friend, the Rev. G. II. Spurgeon
was heard to say that he had lived for
three months on nothing but milk
This gave rise among the company to
several questions as to what prevented
him from eating solid food, from Whit
complaint he was suffering, how his
strength was maintained, what sort Of
milk was it, and in what quantity did
he take it. After everyone's curios-
ity was fully aroused Mr.. Sturgeon,
with a twinkle of fun in his dark eyes,
said, ASK my mother" which reply
was followed by roars of laughter, ev-
eryone feeling they had been taken in,
the time being the first three months
of his life.

tai narratives of the cavalry regi-

Tor villa, which have just been brought
up to date and submitted to headquar-
tiers, show in detail how near the
American troopers came to accom-
plishing the full purpose of their ex-
petition. They show that just after

month after the expedition had en-
tered Mexico and Immediately prior
to the order to withdraw nOrthWard

to earth, and had cut off every ave-
nue. of his escape to the south into
Durango.
When Maj. Frank Tompkins' hun
dred men were attacked at Parral.
Villa, disabled, had hidden at Santa
Cruz. Maj. r. L. Howe, with his hard
riding squadron of the Eleventh cav
airy, close on the bandits trail, had
run by his quarry. General Pershing
was at SatevO, directing operations.
Col. w. G. Brown, with five troops Of
the Tenth cavalry; Col. III. T. Allen,
with two picked troops Of the Elev-
enth cavalry; Major Tompkins and
Major Howe, four cavalry columns in
all, were between Villa and the haven
OF safety he was seeking in the Sierra
Madres, ready to beat the brush for
him. Wounded, virtually alone, he ap-
parently had little chance to evade
capture or death. Orders for with
drawal came, however, after Parral,
and the highwater mark of the ex-
petition passed.
From the beginning of the border
trouble it was to the cavalry that fell
the responsibility of dispensing the
Columbus raiders. That this task
was accomplished is evidenced by fig
ures showing that of the 4S5 men who
raided Columbus four hundred have
been killed, wounded or captured. Full
credit is given in the narratives for
the cooperation of other branches of
the service, notably in establishing
advanced bases and maintaining the
line of communication, but the fact
remains that it was the cavalry that
drove Villa in head-long, panic-strick-
en- flight into Durango, five hundred
miles from the American border, scat
tered his band to the four winds and
set new records for marches under
terrific handicaps. 1t also fought the
four engagements that had an impor-
tant bearing on the campaign :-Dodd
at Guerrero, March %; Tompkins at
Parral, April -; Dodd at Tomoche,
April q, and Howe at Ojos Azules,
May 4. 1t was the victim, too, in the
tragedy of April q at Carrizal.

sounds well to those who have not
tried it, but those who have expert
enced it know it's disadvantages. 1t
means one cannot have her meals at
all hours. 1t is not the bOarding-house
mistress affair if her business detains
her. If the girl hurrieS in to dinner an
hour late there's not Overmuch to eat
and she finds everything cold. The
annoyed waitress tells her there's not
anything left of this and that. She
often has the audacity to hint that she
saw her come in half an hour ago, that
she must have been in her room primp-
ing up instead of coming right in. Few
mattresses take into consideration the
need of bathing her face, brushing her
hair and dOnning fresh blouse.
Then the matter of entertaining her
company. The parlor is for all. There
are some girls just bold and heartless
enough to intrude themselves quite as
soon as her best young man is COM
fortably seated. She is obliged to in
troduce him. Each time he calls, they
are sure to come into the parlor

than not, she finds herself cut out with
her beau. She cannot take him out
for a walk, being often too tired. On
other occasions, it is stormy.
Thus she longs for a place of her
own, be it only a tiny lOW-priced fiat.
She finds this has its disadvantages,
too. She must arise an hour earlier
to prepare her breakfast of oatmeal,
boiled eggs, coffee and rolls. Dishes
must be washed and the place tidied
before she goes, the windows tightly
closed. 1t is hot, discOuraging place
to face when she comes home, extra
tired, after having spent more time
than she should in doing her little mar
keting Steak looks tempting. 1t is
quite another matter to brOil it.
Yet all this discontinue vanishes
when she finds the pOstman has pushed
q letter underneath the door. 1t reads,
81 am coming to take you out to dine
today, Jennie" She finds it quite i'm
possible to entertain the young man
in her fiat. They go to the movies or
some entertainment as the last resort.
A poor old aunt or relative is worth
her weight in gold, a godsend to such
a girl. They can make the place home
like and get up coy dinners to invite
a young man to so that the notion of
marriage is soon put in his head. If
a girl must live alone, hOusework is
usually too much care for her Shout
ders. Boarding, while it has it's dis
advantages, has more companionship
and less care for her.

DRESSES KEEP cows HEALTH
Experiments Have Proved That Pro-
tecting Animals From the Cold
Brings Good Results.

An authority on dress and It's cut
for dairy cows Is Sir Francis Webster,
q wealthy manufacturer of hemp goods
in Scotland and the owner of stock
range in Texas embracing 1,5OO,OOO
acres and thousands Of head of stock.
Sir Francis cows are dressed regu-
larly every winter in suits of hemp
cloth made at his own manufacturing
establishment, to protect them from
the cold and snow, minimize the dan
gers from tuberculosis, and increase
their daily yield of milk. Each COW
has two suits week.
They are not elaborate dress at
fairs by any means, with lingerie and
all that. 1t is a man-made dress of one
piece, or simply a coverall blanket that
fits loosely. This, of course, means
added expense, but the yield of milk
during cold weather is about p per
cent larger than from cows not SIM
ilarly protected.

acquainted with them it is more often
than not the shyest girl, the one who
can boast the least about her good
looks, who enchants him, touching I'M
erringly the silver chord that opens
the door of love in his heart.
Girlish beauty amounts to very little
If brains do not accompany it. The
spell it casts over masculine hearts
does not last for long. Like the ear
hest flowers that bloom it is the
soonest to fade. If her beauty is the
only hold she has upon the heart of
lover, or even a husband, woman
may well tremble with apprehension If
she contemplates the stretch of years
ahead when beauty is no longer her
priced possession.
To the woman whom the gods deny
great beauty, other more lasting and
better gifts are given to compensate
her. Beauty is fieeting. The girl who
is proud of it has crosses ahead of her.
1t is powerless to hold love.

FINDS BABY PARALYSIS GERM
Medical Achievement Is Attributed to
Or. E. C. RosenoW of Mayo Founda-

New York.-Medical men showed
keen interest when word reached this
city that DR.. Edward G. RosenoW,
head Of the meteorological depart
ment of the Mayo foundation at
Rochester, Mimi, had finally sue
ceeded in isolating the germ which,
Judging from the invariable results OF
many experiments, is the cause OF In
fantile paralysis.
One important result of Doctor
Rosenow's work here during the sum-
mer-he went back to Minnesota only
few days ago-was the discovery
that invariably the germ which he mas
isolated was found in the tonslls OF
children suffering from intantlle
paralysis. Doctor ROsenOw's expert
ments here showed that children SUI

DOES BEAUTY WIN LOVE?
Nought under heaven so strongly doth al
lure
The sense of man and all his mind pos
sesS,
AS beauty's lovely bait.

If nine out of ten women were asked
what gifts of the gods they craved
most they would answer unhesitating-
ly, "Love, happy heart and con-
tented home" The tenth woman would
declare she would ask for beauty only,
for with that one power she could
win all the rest.
While it is undeniably true that the
beautiful woman arOuSeS the admira-
ton of men it is not true that she can
touch the love chord in every maScu-
line heart at will. Every woman should
make the best appearance possible. No
one thanks her for looking her worst.
If she sees she looks better in pic
ture hat than in a poke bonnet why
persist in the bonnet to make herself
more unhandsome than nature intend
ed her to be-
1t is the trick very young girls resort
TOTO make themselves appear beauti-
ful-which should be cried down.
When a girl in her teens gets herself
up by the liberal use of powder and
rouge to look like Il wax figure in a
hairdeSserS window, she does not go
to all that bother to excite the Won
der of other girls. No, she does it
with the fixed purpose of winning the
admiration of the young men and
catching beau.
It's a great pity these bepowdered
girls cannot see themselves as others
see them. Any man with but one eye
or half an eye in his head can see
paint on girls face as far off as she
comes within range of his vision. The
average young man is sure she must
have a notify complexion or face
covered with blotches or pimples. else
why should she be obliged TO coat it
over with chalk or whiting paste? He
also suspects her of being years older
than she really is, probably wrinkled,
else she would have no thought of q
false complexion to befool people.
Youth is always lovely in its own
way, quite independent of makeup.
That should be left for the older WON
en- whose youth and good looks have
slipped by on the tide of years. When
young man is introduced to bevy
of young girls his eye may rest for tbs
moment on the maiden with the pref
test face, but as he becomes more

Unpremeditatcd Hoax.

The measles were making their an
nual round of the Juvenile population
Of the community, and FlOssie was
very vexed because she didn't catch
them. She felt that nice little vaca-
ton was being denied her. One day
she came rushing into the schoolroom,
clapping her hands with delight.
"Oh, Miss Nichols! They're coming
down the avenue"
"Who?" asked the teacher, hurrying
to the window and looking for-she
knew not what.
"The measles! Bessy Tubbs, right
on our corner, has just got them, and

It is many parents boast that they
have shielded their growing daugh-
tiers from every care. Their soft, white
hands bear evidence of their useless
ness. Their conversation evinces the
fact that they know much of pleasure,
but are strangers to useful knowledge.
Of course, young girls must have
their frolics or amusementS to make
life worth while, but, at the same
time, they should be made to realize
that girl chums, pretty clothes, dane
ing, sports and beauX should not fill
all their thoughts and occupy all of
their time.
A clever mother who has family of
few interesting daughters hit upon
plan to make them useful as well as
ornamental and be the means of bring
ing out the best Of all there was in
them of each girl in the village. She
encouraged her daughters to get up a
'Know Something club" This was to
be held once a week at their home.
For the first hour Of their meeting,
the only subject to be discussed was
some useful knowledge for the home.
Girls wheedled their old aunties and
grandmas into telling them how they
used to get along with their few ad-
vantages. No idea was too homely to
be listened to and jotted down in the
note book of the others.
The girl who first told that she had
IL n 10 drix
pet looked affrighted, thinking she
would hear screams of laughter. In
stead, every girl looked the interest
she felt at learning that by spreading
a damp cloth Or towel over the spot
they inhabit and ironing the cloth the
steam would kill the eggs and worms.
Thus emboldened,y another girl, who
had father who was physician, re-
marked blushingly: Father says tell
the girls if they know of anyone who
is bedridden and sores have appeared
therefrOm, that the white Of an egg, a
tablespoonful of spirits of camphor
and teaspoonful of pulverized alum
will cause them to disappear. One
miss told her companions that per-
spiration from clothing could be re-
moved by soaking the garments in
strong salt water before laundering.
She also added that old linen hand
kerchiefs should not be flung away.
They were Of great use in hospitals.
The smallest girl in the room said all
she was able to find out was that
irons would never stick to the clothes
if half a teaspOonful of lard or kerO-
sene was added to the starch while it
was hot.
Such a fund of useful knowledge
was unfolded! The girls were heart
lily applauded. A dainty little lunch
con of sandwiches, ice cream and cof-
fee was served. knowledge books
were soon filed. Young men pleaded
so hard to come and listen that they
were allowed that privilege once a
fortnight. This put the girls on their
mettle. Every mOney-Saving device
from every source was dug up.
The young men were so delighted
with all they heard discussed, proving
the thrift of the girls, that there was
scarcely a single maid in the village
at the end of the year.

In Japan devil-fish weighing up to

These fish are amphibious; they are
often seen wobbling on their tenta-
cles like giant spiders, in search of

water they are caught in jars low
