Some months before this time Henry
Midgely had lost his position as book
keeper on account of the failure of the
firm for which he worked They had
had no idea Of impending conditions
and were almost staggered by the
blow. The Midgelys had four growing
children and every month had lived up
to the salary. Mr.. Midgely had just
found another position. When Anne
wrote home she did not tell her family
of their loss, and she bravely set her
self the task of making up for the
months when debts had accumulated.
Christmas! That was the hard part
Nothing for the childrenI They had
had such jolly times before, with pres

work than ever to do and less time for

Judith arrived, her face shining with
happiness.
"As last I am here! Are you quite
well, Anne"
"Oh, yes, dear" Mrs. Midgely's voice
had a strange note in 1t. Judith looked
up quickly.

The children were delighted to have
their aunt with them. They had often
visited the pleasant old white house
that had been their mothers home. and
It was a happy party that surrounded
the dinner table that night. Mrs.

ducers simple homemade sterilizer,
costing not more than SIS, which IL
used on the farm will help guard the
milk against this initial and serious
contamination. HOW great a bearing
sterilization of milk utensils on the
farm has on the bacterial content
of milk Is shown by expert
ments which have proved that the
average milk can, when washed in the
ordinary way, may contain over eight
billion bacteria, and that almost every
milk can so treated harbors millions
Of bacteria which give a high bacterial
count and hasten the souring of milk.
The homemade sterilizer for dairy
utensils which Is to be demonstrated
uses steam as a sterilizlng agent. All
that is required to develop steam
enough to Sterilize the ordinary dairy
utensils is two-burner kerosene stove,
and there Is nothing about the device
which calls for special skill in its eff
fective use. The department has
twenty Of these sterillzers, described
in Farmers Bulletin 74S, and has Of
fered to supply an outfit for two
weeks demonstration to any local
health or dairy official who will agree
to show it in operation to the milk pro-
ducers in his section.
The effectiveness Of this sterilizer
has been fully proved both in the labo-
ratory and OH the farm. In one ex-
pertinent ten gallons of fresh milk
were divided into two parts. Five gal
Ions, passed through a separator into a
five-gallon can, both utensils washed
in the ordinary way, showed at the
end Of an hour 1,SS0,O0O bacteria per
cubic centimeter. The other FIVE gal
Ions, passed through separator into
can, after both utensils had been
washed and sterilized by means of the
homemade sterilizer, showed only "a
900 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
The device, moreover, removes foul
doors and leaves the utensils dry as
well as sterilized. Experience shows
rally reduced, while the producer finds
that his milk does not sour so quickly
and has an improved flavor.
The specialists of the dairy division
are hopeful that the device, wherever
1t Is demonstrated, will come into COM
mon use. 1t is believed that this ster-
ilizer will find ready adoption among
small dairymen because of its low cost
of construction and operation, and be-
cause Its use will tend to improve the
quality and increase the keeping char
acter of the milk.

OLDEST LOVE LETTER FOUND !
Been Written About the Time
of Abraham.

The oldest love letter in the world
has been found-and read by eyes for
which it never was intended. DIR.
Stephen Herbert Langdon, Museum of
Art and Sciences, University of Penn
sylvania, was the man to find this
billet doux, written on a tablet of ebay
about the time of Abraham. He also
has brought to life what is said to be
the oldest map in existence, drawn
about 1900 B. G. or another tablet of
clay.
Here is the letter, which, sad to re-
late, is partly selfish:
ITO Kalla and Mirslia say:
"Thus saith Sin-magir.
''NIay the Sun-dog give you good
health.
"How is this business?
''For a whole month you have not
sent anybody to ask about my welfare.
SNOW I direct Shamashepiri unto
you.
"Send me 80 pints Of barley meal
and ten pints of bean flour.
81 am in trouble.
"Give quickly.
"What you send deduct from your
tithes.
'As to the rest, send it according to
future Instructions"
Evidently the writer was fond Of
both Kaka and Mirslia, two sisters. Al
though the letter could scarcely be
called affectionate, as the present gen.
GRAFTON understands the word, it's
translator assures us that it is bona
fide cross-your-heart love letter.

NO TRUTH IN TRADITION
Old Legend of the Drowning of Prin-
cess in Petrograd Fortress Proved
to Be Without Foundation.

The fortress of SIS. Peter and Paul,
in Petrograd, has an evil reputation
as the former place of Imprisonment
of many of Russia's idealists, includ-
ing Prince Kropotkin and Madame
Breshkovsky; but one blot on its
'scutcheon is removed by an illustrated
article in the London Sphere. The
article reproduces a painting by the
Russian artist Flavitsky, showing a
beautiful woman standing on her bed
in cell in this prison, seeking to es-
cape the rising waters of a flood that
threatens her life. This was the Prin-
cess Tarakanova, who had incurred
the enmity of Catherine the Great. The
tradition is that she was drowned, by
order of the empress, during the in
undation of 1777. The Sphere, how
ever, shows that she died of tuberculo-
sis two years before the flood swept
through the fortress. Thus this gloomy
prison and the great empress are re-
lieved of one of the tragedies with
which they have been associated.

Hint to Mothers.

Let us never be like the mother who
said her boy was not interested in any
thing. For the boys teacher when
she called noticed that he had a box
which he seemed to take care of, and
1t was not long before she learned
that it was a collection Of caterpillars.
Yet the mother said that her boy was
interested in nothing. The teacher at
once showed her pupil that she, too,
was interested in his collection. She
learned from the boy great many
things about caterpillars that she did
not know, and in turn taught him
things he did not know. Teacher and
boy became great friends; through
this common interest others sprang up
and the boy changed from sullen
inattentive boy to a broad-minded,
wide~awake man. If the mother could
only have shared her boys interest,
how much more helpful they would
have been to each other.-Pittsburgh

membered expressions. Looking back
over our intercourse with our fellow

vainly that we had the privilege of

In Praise of Music.

Music adds nothing but good; SUBJ
tracts the evil; multiplies that which
we already have; discounts our all
ments and compounds all of our inter
est. If you believe this is true, "push"
music. Aid the choir, choral and or
chestral societies. Sympathize with
and in every way support public
school music.
A foreign traveller in our country
said he was deeply impressed with our
silences. He heard no reapers sing
ing in the field, he heard many a bird
carol, but no human songs. That re-
minds me of the old saying: blessed
is the man who sings at his work"
Take an interest in creating a must
cal atmosphere in the home, and soon
America will be singing and we shall
be able to take in music not only by
the small channel Of the ear, but
through every pore of our bodies
straight to the root Of our souls.-The
