This is the third time Messrs. Robbins AA p pie ton have received this distinction, which is not a barren one, for it mutt be evident to the most prejudiced individuals that the timekeepers supplied on the previous occasion must have given satisfaction, and answered the teats required of them. This is a mortifying fact for Englishmen, especially for those who believe that were msnttfactnrers here to show more enterprise they would be able to compete advantageously in the manufacture of all grades of watches.” —Boston Adtvrfiarr. Professor Otto Bollinger, of the University of Munich, read * paper recently on artificial tuberculosis as induced by the use of the milk of tuberculous cows. He endeavored to demonstrate that the milk of such animals has a contagious influence and reproduces the disease in other animals. Seeing the enormous mortality from consumption, Professor Bollinger believes it to be of the utmost importance to urge upon all classes, and particularly upon farmers, the absolute necessity of taking every possible means of stamping out the disease among cattle. Iceland Moss BlancMange.—Wash the moss thoroughly in several waters and soak it an hour. To a handful, allow a quart of rich sweet milk; put the moss in when the milk is boiling hot, let simmer until the moss is soft, then strain, sweeten and flavor with lemonjuice, and put into wet molds. Serve cold with cream and sugar. Iceland moss cooked in water instead of milk, and made thin enough to be taken as a drink, is soothing and nourishing, and excellent for colds and sore throats.— Prairie Farmer.
