Goats Milk 10 Favored.

Everyone who is at all acquainted
with the milk goat knows Of the value
of the milk for infants and invalids'
use-one Of the first points about the
milk goat that presents itself, asserts
u writer. The goat is practically free
from tuberculosis. According to the
annual reports of the bureau of animal
industry (U. 81. covering federal In
spection Of animals slaughtered for
food, there were inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914, inclusive.
579,617 goats, of which not single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
losis. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument in favor of the
milk of the goat. The cream glObules
Of the milk of the goat are smaller
than those Of cows milk, and because
of this milk being condensed the cream
globules are contained In II more per
feet state of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument in favor of ster7-
ilized milk is that authorities agree 1t
Is actually more easily digested than
Is the fresh milk, this referring to
goats and cows milk alike.

UNLucKIEsT CITY OF WORLD
6a0dad, Where British Are Now Firm.
ly Established, Has Been Drenehed
In Blood Of Citizens.

Bagdad, where the British are now
firmly established, has well earned its
reputation Of the worlds unluckiest
city. according to writer In Pear
sons. Not square inch of the soil
on which it stands but has been soaked
with the blood of its citizens.
When the Mongols, under their ter
rible Chief Hulaga, took the city in
1858, 100000 Of its inhabitants were
put to death. Worse still. Hulaga
ruined the whole system Of irrigation
canals which made Mesopotamia per-
haps the richest country in the world
thereby destroying the work of 300
generations In as many hours"
In 1893 Timur the Tartar sacked the
city. He killed all its inhabitants,
"save only the holy men," and 10000
skulls were piled up in pyramids be-
fore the walls.
The Persians, under Shan Abbas,
captured Bagdad in 1923, after a des-
perate resistance, and in revenge he
ordered 500 Of the principal citizens
to be tortured to death in public, the
executions lasting over an entire week.
Three hundred others were executed
by hanging them head downward in
the city's 800 wells, thereby poisoning
the water supply.

swaaaer Stick BETRAYED.

A discussion, which began with &C
tual preparedness in America and
which has continued now and again,
here and there, pro and con, was re-
vived, writes New York correspond
emf. with the arrest Of fictitious army
officer, who. let II be known here, car
ried swagger stick. The question.
"Why. oh, why, do they carry them2"
was intensified by the fact that one of
the detectives asserted In English that
had II not been for the swagger stick
he would never have suspected the
camOufiage captain. Luck was with
the detectives, and when the prisoner
was taken to police headquarters he
admitted he was not captain at all,
but bold, bad young man who had
been telling naughty lies and stealing
automobiles and other knick-knacks
ever since war was declared. However,
he Indignantly asserted that he was H.
legally arrested to begin>with, for the
reason that army officers do not wear
swagger sticks right now. He seemed
to think that his arrest shouldn't count,
inasmuch as the detectives were mis-.
taken in their first and most important
clue.

HAVE APPETITE FOR PRAISE
Everybody Graves Words Of Approval
and comment-Effect Of the Time-
ly Kind Attention.

1t Is n human frailty to want praise.
We begin young to crave the approx
Ing notice of others. "There is mono
like to me-" says the cub in the pride
Of his earliest kill. But the Jungle Is
large, and the cub he is small let him
think and be STILL" Children brought
up in school can generally be told
from those who have been trained SOL
itarily, says II writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, for the children thrown
much with other children are less like
ly to develop arrogance, selfishness
and conceit. They do not find their
schoolmates in frame of mind to put
them on pedestal or crown their
brows with laurel. They are not re-
garded as little tin gods on wheels;
they are lost to sight In the shuttle Of
the classroom and the playground. No
body defers to their opinions; nobody
minds when they stamp the foot and
shout angrily.
Children of larger growth ofteA
crave an admiration which they do not
get. They think to draw an audience
by harping on the theme of self. and
kind of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the 81"
out Of ones conversation is not neces-
sarily to make 1t interesting. Many
times narrative loses greatly in pith
and pungency by the impersonnlity In
which 1t Is couched. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense of the
first-hand participation of the narrator
in the incidents he describes. When
the first person is introduced for the
sake of the edification of the reader.
there need be no apology; when 1t Is
introduced for the glorlfication of the
speaker. 1t is odious altogether.
A man must do his work as well as
he can. whether he is praised for 1t or
not. The taste of publicity is likely to
be what the taste of blood Is to tiger
or lion; it whets the desire for moro
of the same thing. There are some
who rarely do good deed without
rushing to neighbor or newspaper to
let 1t be known. To others the "free
advertising" is abhorrent. They are
made happy by glowing conscious
ness that the right thing was done, and
that autO-satisfaction of virtue is their
reward. But most Of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle whereon
we can abide serenely independent of
what others think or say. We want u
kind word now and then to keep us
going. We hunger for appreciation.
even when we tell ourselves we are
not worth it. Who has not known the
lift letter Of encouragement, SEN
tence of commentator, has BROUGHT
The day is brighter for 1t, and we feed

who speak In time the heartening.

japanese ScuIptury.

When the MOmbusho Fine Arts ex-
hibition opened In Tokyo, 1000 per-
sons, including many. notables, were
present. A statue Of nude woman
by FumiO Asakura was removed to a
private room in the Tokyo Academy Of

because the police objected to 1t. A

BANK EXCHANGE IN ECUADOR
Rate ls Established by President,
Who Alone Is Empowered to
Make Such Ruling.

A recent law promulgated in Ecua.
dor attempts to regulate the bank rate
OF exchange as regards drafts to and
from foreign countries. 1t provides
for an advisory board to the president,
presided over by the governor of
Guayas and composed of delegates
from the chambers Of commerce Of
Guayaquil and Quito. the Agricultural
association, each Of the banks Of issue,
and the national bank inspector. The
recommendations made by this board,
according to Commerce Reports, may
or may not be acted upon by the pres
ident, who alone is empowered to es-
tablish the legal rate Of exchaI ge
and any person selling at a higher
rate Is liable to prosecution, with a
penalty of ten times the excess
charged.
Export duties, including all sur
charges. may be paid by checks or
sight drafts on foreign markets where
the goods are exported, taking as a
basis the valne of the pound sterling
in the New York market. The drafts
mentioned must be sold by the customs
collectors at the prices paid for them.
The purchase Of foreign drafts is
at present very materially restricted,
owing to the scarcity of funds In other
countries; and 1t is generally believed
that the present law will increase the
difficulties.

How to Grow
a Diamond

STALLMENTS-At traveller on a Pull
man sleeper hears a man make the
assertion that he knows how to grow
diamonds. A skeptical friend accuses
him Of either being real genius or
a liar. Insists on Rowing the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Jim tells him that the method
was given to him by prominent
Richmond jeweler. The jeweler had
formed diamond-growing club,
wherein the members would start by
buying a small diamond and later
have it exchanged for a larger one.
In every exchange the full price paid
for the last diamond bought was to
be allowed. Jim joins the club and
invests $40 in a very small diamond.
