MILK FOR NEW YORK. ! Germs Found Ewarmi:j la the J City's Purest Supply.

Report ; Tht Crramrrln Supplied VViib , Fertiliser I'or Botllti or Cn j "Were Hurfl, loaml-Orlilirnlloii j Claimed as One Solution fai-Hy ' Tbe Uwkcfolkr Institute For Med leal Itpscarcb has Issued a report of the investigation iuto the milU supply of New York city carried oil by tbe institute with the co-operation of Professor William Hal link Park, says the New York Tribune. Tbe bacteriological work was done at the laboratory of the health department. The report ays: "The milk delivered to New York mounts to over 1,51)0.000 quarts a day. This comes from five different states and forty-four counties. Much of It is brought 200 miles and some of Jt over 300 miles, aud its production oyer such a wide area of territory has made anything like a genera! supervision impossible. "The work of the institute was be gun last Jane and has been continued up to the present time. The scope of the work planned included observa tions OH: "First. The sanitary condition of the farms and creameries supplying the city with milk. "Second. Railway transportation and city delivery. "Third. The condition of the milk on delivery as to the number and vari ties of bacteria present. "Fourth. The effect of milk of vari ous degrees of purity upon the health of infants and young children in insti tutions and tenements during the hot weather. "Fifth. A more definite study of the cb an pre occurring in milk which cause disease. "Sixth. To what degree both the dealer and the farmer could be de pended upon for voluntary co-opera tion in improving the milk supply." It jroes on to tell of the inspection made at the farms and creameries by Jdr. Burnett and . Dr. Sarah Belcher. Most of the milk for the city is collected at creameries, which each receive the milk of from twenty to fifty farms. Many of the farms were ex amlncd. According to the report, tbe cow barns were in fair condition, and the cowa were generally found in good health, but almost no pains were taken to keep them clean. There was no pretense at personal cleanliness made by the men. Two examples of bad conditions are then cited. The in epector sucgestetLimprovements at the various farms. "At the creameries themselves very frxeat improvements were suggested. It was found very rarely that a creamery was supplied with a sterilizer for bottles or cans, and those in charge were often itriiorant of the simplest matter ri-i.itfntr to milk contamination and Xii'w it xv.-'s to be avoided." The rcMir? t 'ien deals with e subject of bacteria in milk and the resultant diseases. It says: , "The chief dangers in milk are due to the bacteria which it contains. Milk is the only article of food in which nearly all bacteria grow rapidly, and In it they multiply at a favorable temperature i. e., about blood heat in an almost incredible manner. "The mtmtier of bacteria is the best means of determining whether the milk Is clean and fresh and whether it has been properly handled, and It tells with certainty the story of mistakes and neglect. "Milk from carefully groomed cows In clean stables when taken under the best precautions now possible, cooled Immediately to below 40 degrees F. and kept at that temperature during transportation by proper icing and sent by express trains to the city, although bandied with every precaution against contamination, contains when it reaches the consumer from 10,000 to 100.000 bacteria in each teaspoonfuh This for the best milk. "Now, what of the worst milk? During last summer tbe milk sold in the groceries of the tenement districts contained, as shown by the examination made by the bacteriologist, from 4.000.000 to G00.000.000 in each tea spoonful, and Just such milk as this was fed last summer to many infants in New York. "During the latter part of June three jroups of infants living in different sections of the city and fed entirely upon cow's milk were selected for observation. In each section a portion of tbe Infants were left upon the grocery milk which they were already using, while for the remainder special milk was furnished. Comparatively little serious iilness occurred among tbe In'fants fed on the special sterilized milk. The children who received tbe grocery -milk did much worse in similar surroundings. " The report advocates two requirements for the purity of milk a sterilising apparatus at every creamery where bottling is done and great care Sr. keeping milk at the proper tempera ture. It asks for better methods ot .transportation from the country disjtriets. Tbe local delivery methods or also found to be at fault, tbe milk be jiag permitted to stand on the statior platforms for six hours at impropei .temperatures. The report ends by say .Ins: t "Milk certification at the present t!m , seems to be a solution of some of th jitlieu!ties mentioned in connectior ! itn this problem. It seems to bt j isccessary. t have a bird ptrty com

posed of some body of persons who stand between the dealers and the public and who are able to give some son of an assurance to tbe public that ml!U has been handled and produced uudr pnicr hygienic condition. Kucb an assurance Is now provided in a certificate issued by the County Medical so ciety. which is given in two forms This sH-iety has appointed a couimis sion to pass upon the miik supplied hy

different dealers. The coaun:s,iun is j composed of professional lu-n of the 1 highest standing, who. v i:h lie reports' furnished by the Inspector and the ! teriologist. are cjunlifed to ;rti;' in ; these matters. When they tird it - : sible to nssure themselves that milk . produced under wholesome conditions, they grant to such a dealer pcrmiss'c: to employ a label. "Inspected by the Milk Commission of the Me-Heal Soeie ty of the County of New York." It is therefore now possible for any one in New York who is wi:l;ng to pay a proper price not only to obtain, but to know that he obtains, a pure and safe milk. "This movement for pure niilk will become general and extensive if It la sustained by public opinion." THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET." lorrora of Siodera Srirne WnTf4 A rmmmd ike Well. The truths of science are not often expressed In verse, and this fact serves to emphasize the few instances where rhyme has been employed to convey fact, says the St Louis Post-Dispatch. The following parody on "The Old Oaken Buc-et," which is not only amusing, but contains some valuable points In sanitation, is by Dr. J. C. Bayies. formerly president of the New York city health board, and was read by him at a meeting of the Academy of Medicine. We quote it from the columns of Engineering News, which says that the sanitary science conveyed In the verses may seem elementary indeed to our readers, yet it needs but the slightest knowledge of conditions about the average farmhouse and country village to realize that millions of people are living amid just such unhenlthful surroundings in entire igno rance that they have anything to do with causing disease and death. The parody is as follows: With what angruloh of mind I remember my childhood. Recalled in the light of a knowledge since sained. The malarious farm, the wet fungous grown wlldwood. The chills then contracted that since have remained; The scum covered duck pond, the pigsty close by It. The ditch where the sour smelling bouse drainage fell. The damp, shaded dwelling, the foul barnyard nigh It. But worse than all elite was that terrible well. And the old oaken bucket, the mold crusted bucket. The moss covered bucket that hung in the welL Just think of it! Moss on the vessel that lifted The water I drank In the days called to . ..... mind: Ere I knew what professors and scientists gifted In tbe waters of wells by analysis find: The rotting wood fiber, the oxid of iron. The algae, the frog of unusual size. The water. Impure as the verses of Byron, Are things I remember with tears in my eyes. And to tell the sad truth though I shudder to think of it I considered that water uncommonly dear. And often at noon, when I went there to drink tt. I enjoyed !t as much as I now enjoy beer. How ardent I seized tt with hands that were grimy And quick to the mud covered bottom it fell: Then reeking with nitrates and nitrites and slimy With matter organic It rose from the welL Oh. had I but realized in time to avoid them The dangers that lurked In that pestilent draft I'd have tested for organic germs and destroyed them With potassic permanganate ere I had quaffed. Or perchance I'd have boiled It and afterward strained it Through filters of charcoal and gravel combined. Or. after distilling, condensed and regained tt In potable form, with Its filth left behind. How little I knew of the enteric fever Which lurked in the water I ventured to drink. But since I've become a devoted believer la the teachings of science I shudder to think. And now. far removed from the scenes I'm describing.. The story of warning to others I tell. As memory reverts to my youthful imbibing And I gag at the thought of tfcat horrible well. And the old oaken bucket, the fungous grown bucketIn fact, the slop bucket that fauns in the welL Haatlasr far a Capital. It has been arranged that at the end of January the mem tiers of both houses of parliament of the newly or ganized commonwealth of Australia will set out in search of a site for tbe permanent Australian capital of the future, says the Chicago News. Melbourne, as agreed at tbe time of the federation, la only the temporary home of the government The excursion has been mapped out by the government leaders and will probably extend over a fortnight Eight or ten sites will be carefully examined, a start being made at A 1 bury, a beautiful border town among the vineyards between Victoria and New South Wales. The late governor. Sir Hercules Robinson, afterward T'rd Rosmead. once delivered f famous oration on federation at Al bnry and designated the place as the '"lure metropolis of united Australia. That was twenty years ago. but Albury's chances are not now considered as good as those of Bombola and Orange, while several other available sites still bare fair chances of beinf selected. . -c

The races inhabiting the w lau'lof the tropical Pacific are almost alone iu having t;o idea of the loom and thr various ai ts of the spinner and weaver. This lack is undoubtedly due to the natural provision of material which renders a woven cloth unncessary to this primitive jteopie. The only fabric used iu that part of the world is a crude, tough paper made of bast The tree from which the material is derived is the pajx'r uiullierry. or Broussonetia papyrifera. which is grown in plantations under the sole charge of women and is also found wild In all parts of the islands. In archipelagos so highly advanced as Samoa and Tonsa. where women have none of t!:e coarser work to do. the entire care of the mulberry plantations rests with the women of each village. The trees are planted closely to Insure a spindling growth without lateral branches. The plant will grow from seed. In such a climate there 1 no difficulty about getting things to grow, but experience has shown that better results follow the planting of twigs from the sturdier wild trees. In about three years from planting th tree will le in the best condition for the clothmakers. In that time it will attain a height of twelve feet or more, and the trunk will have a uniform d! ameter of rather less than two Inches. Alout four feet of the trunk Is wastr and not available for the particular ptu'itose for which the tree is grown: the first two feet from the base Is too tough to work well, and the two feet at the top is too soft. If the tree is properly grown ami left to mature, there will be available for the elotomaker a stick of eight feet in the clear and as straight as a measuring roil.: without knots or branches and of uniform girth throughout.

December, so called from being the tenth uiMtith when the year began in March, has probably had more names conferred upon it than any other of the twelve into which our year is now di vided. Among the early Saxons it was called Winter Mouat. or winter month After their conversion to Christianity they called it Ileligh Monat or holy month, in honor of the birth of Christ In later days in Germany it was ea!!et! Christ Monat for the same reason Fires used to be lighted for warmth It: this month, and the want of chimneys used to cause a too obvious Inconvenience, which led to its being called Fu mosus. or smoky. It was also dubbed Canus. or hoary, from the snows oi hoarfrosts which then generally whit ened the higher grounds. The Foree of Cyclone.

It is now an established fact that the Olympian games of l'.XH will lw held in Chieaco. and the committee in charge of the preparations is already deep in Its voluntary task of promoting the event. One of the latest features planned to add interest to the athletic games anil gymnastic contests Is a museum of athletic apparatus, chronologically arranged so as to show the improvement in the instruments of all lines of sports. The congress of the Olympian committees of all countries will be held this spring at Bruss Is. aud the importance of the meeting has been increased by the announcement already made that King Leopold will preside. The following men have been appointed a committee on finance for the games: Benjamin Rosenthal, chairman; II. N. HiginiMithaui, ex-president of the World's Columbian exposition; James II. Eckels, ex -comptroller of the treasury; Orson Smith, Clarence Buckingham. Charles L. Hutchinson, aud Otto Young. Mike Owyer's Tearllari. Although the well known name of M. F. Dwyer has not been seen on the race programme during the past season, it is said tbe "white, gold tassel." will again be seen on the turf nest summer, as he has ten yearlings now quartered at the Gravesend (N.
