Most Primitive Still.

Probably the most primitive still in
use is that used by the Chinese In the
distillation of camphor, which is said,
however to be very effective. The
leaves are placed in a wicker basket,
which Is fixed over an iron caldron
containing water. On the top Of the
basket a basin of cold water is placed.
The steam from the caldron passes
through the leaves of the basket and
carries over the camphor vapor, which
is deposited in the form of camphor
on the cool under surface of the basin.

little milk girls they never went with

announced their arrival and for A
months they traversed all the streets
of the city. Many a time they were
taken by surprise by a storm of shells.
Three Of them had to be carried away
on stretchers, yet the others continued
on their route so that the children and
sick should have their milk all the
same. On February % we heard the
tinkling Of their bells for the last time.
The little milk girls were sent out of

there were no longer In Reims either

SONG FOR ALL ABLE TO HEAR
Trouble Is That All People Have Not
Properly Attuned Themselves to
Listen to II.

"There is ever a song somewhere,
my dear" sings the poet. Let us 90
a little further and say that there is
v a song everywhere-if We have
the ear attuned TO IL.
The cultured musicians will tell you
that what the masters sing In their
strange and complex studies is the
highest music to those who are trained
to catch 1t. But the simple heart finds
the harmony In the simple, lowly mel
odies.
What TO the one class is purest mu'
sic is TO the other meaningless noise.
If we Just knew how to listen we could
love the songs of each. To some the
jingle of money Is the only music In
the world. 1t deafens them to all 9th
er sounds. To some the melody of
their own names spoken In praise Is
the only music worth hearing. The
ears of these seem to open inward.
The greedy and the vain shrink their
whole world to their own size.
But TO those who raj hear IL there
Is a song in every phase of life. For
tunate is he who can hear more than
a very few.-Exchange.

Try New preventive for Rabies.

The production of a new serum with

immune to rabies may result from ex-
periments recently conducted by a
French scientist. The brain Of a rab-
bit which had died OF rabies was treat
ed with sulphuric ether and then
mixed with a special preparation,
forming an emulsion. BY injecting a
weakened solution of this emulsion un-
der the skin. immunity to rabies has
been produced which appears to be
both lasting and effective. No bad eff
fects. it is said. result from giving the
injection. The serum has, so far, only
been tried on animals.-Popular Me-

STILL HAVE BARN RAIsINGs
Good Old Custom Has Not Died Out.
Though the Conditions Have
Greatly Changed.

The Connecticut Valley Advertiser
tells its readers that on Saturday Of
hast week a barn-raising was held at
Hadlyme with about everybody In Had
lyme and East Haddon present. That
seems much like the old type of barn
raisings. but something new comes In
the statement that three kinds Of IL
guilds were to be had for the asking.
one being water and another root beer.
Formerly there were but two, one be-
ing hard cider and the other West In
dia rum.
From early times up to 40 years ago
dwellers In the country did not have
the knack of erecting a building with
no more timber in it than could be car
ried on a wheelbarrow; hence, to erect
the frame for a barn or house was q
work which taxed the strength of all
the men and boys In the community
and which brought the local carpenter
into a place of proud Importance. It
was considered altogether out Of the
question to do the work without stimu-
lnnts, and these were furnished gen.
erously, for, though a man might be
"~close" about many things, he could
not afford to ration those who came to
the raising If he hoped to spend the
rest of his life in the community.
Having this In mind. he bought rum
literally, while the sour cider was
brought from his own cellar. but,
though its ability was recognized. 1t
was hardly regarded seriously because
everyone had an abundance Of 1t at
home, while drinking rum at the ex-
pense of another was something alto
gether more important. 1t was hard to
raise a building without 1t, and, on
some occasions, fairly difficult to raise
n with 1t. Not ~infrequently 1t was
found necessary to continue the work
TO a second day because the spirits
from st. Croix had done their work
not wisely but too well. Changing man.
ners have modified the work, for the
Advertisers account says that the barn
was raised in a single afternoon. 1t is
a pleasure to know that the work was
done successfully and that this old
form of communal living survives
