milk, tifter passing among them, is al
lowed to stand for a day or two until
it begins to turn sour. It throws up
no cream but becomes compact and te
nacious and most delicious in taste.
It is not necessary that fresh leaves
should be used after the milk has once
turned, on the contrary, a small por
tion of this milk will act upon that
which is fresh, in the manner of yeast.

A Hint About Showing OCT.
A young contralto who is already
known for her glorious voice was en
gaged at a Handel concert which Sir
Joseph Barnby was conducting. At
the end of a solo she put in a high note
instead of the less effective note usual
ly sung. This innovation shocked the
conductor, and he immediately asked
whether Miss thought she was
right in trying to improve upon Han
del. "Well, Sir Joseph," said she,
"I've got an E and I don't see why 1
shouldn't show is off." "Miss ,'
rejoined Barnby, "I believe you have
two knees, but I hope you won't show
them off here." Weekly Telegraph.

With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness arc not due to ana actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who valne good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
.one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali

and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If

A New lllaealaaat.
A London correspondent of the Man
chester Coarier publishes a remarkable
account of a new illuminant, which, if
all that is said of it is true, will push
both gas and electric light very hard.
For its production no machinery is re
quired save that contained in a port
able lamp neither larger nor heavier
than is used with coal oil or paraffin.
This lamp, it is declared, generates its
owa gas. The substance employed is
at present a secret, jealously guarded
by some inventive Italians. Tbe cost
is declared to be at most only one-fifth
of that of ordinary gas, and the re
sultant light is nearly as bright as
electric light and much whiter. A
single lamp floods a large room with
light. The apparatus can be carried
around nearly as easily aa a candle
stick and seems both clean and odor
less,

To gain an idea of a billion of coins
place a 85 gold piece upon the ground
and pile upon it as many as will reach
twenty feet in height. Then place
numbers of single columns in close con
tact, forming a straight line and mak
ing a sort of wall twenty feet high,
showing only the thin edges of the
coin. Imagine two such walls running
parallel to each other and forming a
long street It would be necessary to
keep on extending these walls for
miles nay, hundreds of miles and
still be far short of the required num
ber, and not until we had extended
our imaginative street to a distance of
2,236K miles that we shall have pre
sented lor inspection a billion of coins.

The Atlantic Monthly for September
will contain tw.o important articles
bearing on the political campaign one
on "The Election of the President" by
the historian John B. McMaster, and
the other a very striking paper on "The
Problem of the West" by Professor
Frederick J. Turner, of Wisconsin. He
traces the apparent Eastern and West
ern sectionalism and maintains that
the true American is the man of the
Middle West. Tbe economic reasons
for a divergence of opinion, on the cur
rency question for instance, are so
clearly indicated that the article is par
ticularly illuminating as a study of
opinion as shown in the present cam

A Daasaay ta Carry Baby.
Aa English invention which ia etas
tined to relieve many a worn parent of
much fatigue and anxiety is a daataiy
figure which stands concealed freaa tha
baby's view by the side of tha cradle.
When, on a bitter cold night, tha
mother or nurse is disturbed by a vocal
demonstration from the cradle, aad
the owner of the voice cannot ba sat
isfied by any suitable form of nourish
ment, tbe victim may, by an arrange
ment of wires, set the figure in motion,
so that it leans down over the cradle,
lifts up the nuisance, and walks ap
and down the room rocking it gently
backward and forward, aad softly
hums one of those pacifying melodies
never heard outside of a nursery.
The Sssags DM It.
It is now asserted that Moody aad
Sankey'a hymns caused the persecatioa
of the Armenians by tbe Turks. "On

Turkish language, breaths a martial
spirit and is apt to be taken in a literal
sense as an exhortation to fight the
Turk. It is suggested as a possible,
explanation of the charges agaiast
Prof. Trouraaian that what was sap
posed to be his revolutionary laagaaga
was the quotation of some sach hymn.
