TO PRESERVE MILK

The Proper Care of the Lacteal Fluid Haa Much to Do With Health. ▲ person who has had experience In the handling of milk gives the following ss the best rules for caring for it: “The first matter of importance is that milk shall be kept at a uniformly low temperature from the moment it is reoedved until it is need. 'lt is never safe to open milk or cream, and after removing part of it, leave the jar uncovered, expose the milk in open pitchers, or return any that has been exposed in pitchers again to the original Jar. “It is never well to keep milk or cream, that has once been opened, in a refrigerator that contains other foods. “It is never wise to expose any milk or cream to the usual air of the kitchen, the pantry or the nursery except for such time as is necessary to obtain what is needed for immediate use. “It is very unwise to put milk Into any vessel or pitcher that has been washed in dish water and wiped with a kitchen cloth. Vessels to be employed for milk should be boiled In clean water and left for use unwtped, with the mouths turned down, and in a clean place. “It is best and safest to use milk or cream at meal times from the original bottle in which it is received. “Never cook or boil milk, especially with cereals, in a vessel used for general purposes, but set aside a special vessel, and boil it in clean water before using for cooking milk.”

The City Man. The city man said he was stuck Upon the rural life, No longer wished to run amuck In noise and dust and strife. Said he: “I’d like to husk the eggs And dig the new mown hay, And monkey with the husking pegs And milk the cows for whey. “I’d like to pick the cream and chees* And dig the apple crop, And drive a team of pure white geese And feed the chickens slop. “It would be fun to groom the pigs And cuiry off the cows, And hitch the roosters into rigs And work the threshing plows. “ ’Twould be a treat to shell the oats And pick the buckwheat flour And gather whiskers from the goats And sort them by the hour. “I’d like to cultivate the bees And pump the pale blue milk. And pick th.e pumpkins from the trees And do things of that ilk. “I’d like to pick the little lambs And shear the gentle hens. And gatfier in the fresh smoked hams And put the wasps in .pens. “In fact I think the country life Would be the thing-for me, I do not care for work and strife, I need the rest, you see.” —Chicago Chronicle.

Putting Him to the Test., A stockbroker was telling the other day bow a girl, recently married to a colleague of his on the Stock Exchange, suspected that her husband had been indulging a little too freely in the cup that cheers. She determined to find out beyond doubt whether her suspicions were well founded. To a friend she confided the source of her trouble, and from this friendship learned that it had always been said that a man even slightly intoxicated cannot pronounce words of any length whereupon the young wife decided that that would be a good plan to tryi When next the friend met the young wife she was in a state of great agitation. Asked if the suspicions had been Verified, the girl burst into tears and said that they had. “I handed him this list,” she said between sobs, fishing from her pocket a paper which she gave to her friend and which contained the ..following words: “Phthisis, photochromy, gnomiometrical, hypochondriasis, parachronism, phlegmasia dolens, syncategorematic, antinomianism, pseudaesthesia.” “And," she continued, while her friends read the list, “he missed nearly half of them!" —London Tid Bits.
