will soon send to Havana a new disinfectiug steamer, designed under the supervision of its bureau.Says, the New York Post.The Sanator, ns the vessel is called, has just been completed in Philadelphia and is regarded abreast of sanitary science tn every particular.It is claimed for her that she Is the most complete floating disinfecting plant In the world.The value of such a floating plant is considered by physicians to have been nmply demonstrated.the latest demonstration having been furnished by the disinfect ing barge Protector of the marine lios- pital service, in disinfecting troops and troopships returning from Cuba In 180%, during our war with Spain.The disinfecting equipment of the Sanator 1s of the most modern and perfect type.It includes a formaldehyde apparains, sulphur furnaces and bichloride of mercury apparatus.The authorities of the United States marine hospital service are of the opln- lon that there 18 scarcely a harbor of the world where the services of sueh vessel as the Sapator are more urgently required than that of Havana, and they believe that the Sanator wi} be of great assistance In the efforts that are being made to make that city and barbor less

When Bir George White, with the tail of the reinforcements, arrived at \u2018Pietermaritzburg, war had practic- \u2018ally been declared, At that moment, | however much Sir George White may have desired a strategic withdrawal from Upper Natal, such a move was | impossible.Already three months {stores had been pushed forward.The jenemy had been allowed to take up such a position on the reverse of Langs i Nek that they commanded the situa- {tion on the pass.Consequently, if un- \u2018in\u2018erupted, the enemy would have ap- {peared upon the Tuegela before any definite orginization to hold the river \u2018line could have been perfected.This | being the case, Ladysmith forced itself upon the general commanding in Natal.And, as eveuts have turned out, it is probable that, with the troops at his command, no better move could have been made to prevent the enemy frem occupying Natal proper.It is {now accepted that at one period the Republics had over 30,000 men un- derjarms in the colony.At the most, Curing the first four weeks of hostili- tier, Sir George White had only 15,000 men to stem this tide of invasion, I hav8 no hesitation in saying that this [force was inadequate to hold the Tu- {gela.From the Drakensberg to the Buffalo River it would have béen necessary to maintain a line extending considerably over 100 miles.The i most that a general officer could have ldor.e\u2019under the circumstances would [have been to have held the principal | drifts as observation posts; and for { the reat to have trusted to the Boers {to throw themselves against his main position and for reinforcements from the seaboard.We now realize the extreme nobility of the enemy, and it is not too much to surmise that.if it had not been for the series of actions which opened the campaign in Natal and the subsequent concentration at Lady- smith, the Boers, at the end of October, would have been in position to cross the river in force at any place or places which they chosetoselect.It was not until November 9 that General Clery\u2019s reinforcements arrived in Natal.\u2018In these nine days the whole complexion of the campaign might {have been altered.If, when estab- | lished on the Tugela, the Natal Field Force had been worsted, it would have been forced to fall back along the railway line, possibly as far as Pietermar- itzburg.If this eventuality had oe- jcurred the enemy, in their mobility, could have operated on either or both :of the flanks of the retreating force {with the choice of ground and time.| Tuke for example the action fought \u2018outside Ladysmith on October 30.If | this engagement had taken place below the Tugela and there had been no | Ladysmith for the force to fall back \u2018upon, what would have been the result?The occupation of the town in the early stages of the seige not only cut the enemy\u2019s main communication with the south, but it caused them to deliberate upon the advisability of pushing seawards.It was this delay which saved the situation.Their conflicts with the garrison in the field had taught the Boer commanders to respect the garrison.It wasstill mobile, and, as far as the Boers were aware, was still well equipped and eflicient.It is not surprising that Jouhert hesitated to press forward while this considerable force lay upon his communications.It was during these days of vacilation and doubt that the Boers lost their opportunity.While they were placing heavy artillery in position round Ladysmith to incarcerate the garrison, and while they waited to intrench Colenso, General Clery and his three brigades were disembarking at Durban.Thus Pietermaritzburg was saved, though the enemy arrived within 40 miles of the town.THE POPULAR BOOK.Hundreds of Thousands Now in Canadian ;

had sat there since the Freeport express steamed-out of the Central station at Chicago.\u2018Fur ten miles, with the engine screwed up to a fifty-mile-an- hour gpedd, his limp, dead hand had Jain powerless to avert disaster, his dead eyes had looked blankly out at the appalling danger ahead.Not one of the passengers or employes aboard the train suspected his own real peril.The roul story of the frightful trip and of how Engineer Joseph E Hoffman, one of the oldest men in point of service in the employ of the Illinois Central road, dled at his post is here told in full by Fireman Henry Murphy, who fed the big furnace while the dead man sat at the lever.THE FIREMAN\u2019S STORY, \u2018Keep the steam in the second 80s, Hank,\u2019 said Hoffman to me as we were pulling out of the Central station that night.\u2018I\u2019ve got a little one sick at home, and I waut to get in on time.\u2019 We had started at 10.35 p.m., five minutes late.\u2018All right,t Joe.\u2019 I said.\u2018We'll get in on time if we have a slippery rail and five minutes the worst of it.\u2019 In a minute the big engine was puffing and screaming on the hundred- aud- thirty mile run to Freeport.I am convinced that Joe died directly we pulled out.Before we had gone two miles we were running fifty miles an hour, double our usual speed.I could not see the engineer, for the boiler was between us.I thought he wanted to make up the lost time, and that the \u201clittle one\u201d was on his mind.On we went, humping and swaying around the curves and ignoring red lights.\u2018What on earth has got into the old man?I said to myself.\u2018I never saw him so reckless before.\u2019 You see, we'd get on a signal block with the danger light up ahead of us, but never a slow-down.In fact we were increasing speed all the time.Fortunately about the time we\u2019d reach the signal it would flash \u2018Clear\u2019 I grew terrified at these close shaves, and shouted: Joe, we\u2019ll get reported for this.We're running fifty miles sure.\u2019 I got no answer, and I supposed he was thinking of the \u2018little one.\u2019 Away we went, past Jackson Park, Hyde Park, Woodlawn, with no let-up inspeed.Isaw the danger and got sick with fright.* But I knew that Hoffman knew his business if anybody did.We ran past freight trains and past stations where we ought to stop.At last I stood up and looked over.Joe sat in his seat, his head out the window, but his hand was not on the lever.1 thought the man had gone daft, but I said, as calmy as I could: \u2018We are running too fast, old man.\u2019 He never noticed me, and I went back to my seat convinced he was crazy.As we drew near Hawthorne a red light gleamed on the main line a thousand yards ahead.Joe paid no attention to the signal.We had run two hundred yards when I yelled: \u2018Shut her down! There is a freight ahead !?Joe did not move.Iran from seat, shut off the steam, gave her the air and sand and brought the big train to a standstill not a hundred feet from a long freight train pulling in off our track on to a side-track.I was as white as a sheet, my heart was thumping and I Was all a tremble.I turned to Joe.His head was still out of the window.I put my hand on his shoulder and said: \u2018Are you sick, old man He was limp.Isat him up, and one look in his face told the truth.He was dead and cold.I held a lantern up close and took another look.There was no mistake.Poor fellow, he did not see the \u2018little one.\u2019 They called it heart disease.I took the train up to the Hawthorne station, where his body was left.In flve minutes nnother engineer was in the cab and we left on time.Few of the passengers knew of the narrow escape they had.As for me, I shall never forget that ride nor the fright I had.It was the most horrible experience of my life.CARD.1, the

proper cleaning (and this is too often neglected), while the cheaper packages 5 have not these objections.A correspondent of The National Stockman and Farmer says that if ah butter put on the market were branded the quality In a very short time would be improved, as each brand would then stand on the merits of the product It represents.So long .as good butter must be sold at an average price, so as to pay the groceryman to handle juferfor grades, making the profits on the best grades bear him out, there Is no incentive for the but ter maker to improve her quality of butter.1 use the pronoun advisedly.for the great bulk of butter is yet made by the farmers\u2019 wives.The person who makes a really good article need pot fear detriment to his trade to offer bis product for sale under a private brand.One butter maker who packed a good quality of butter ip firkins was allowed by her marketman 1 cent extra -on the pound for simply writing the family initia) in blue on the lid of each firkin.The customers soon learmed the bandwriting and knew It represented a good quality of butter.Anether woman molds her butter into pound blocks and Is allowed by the market- man 2 oeuts extra per pound.She uses a homemade butter mold, a ree- tangular box, which makes the block 5 inches long, 8 inches wide and 2 inches deep, containing 30 cubic tnrhes.The mold has a loose bottom.on which is carved an unassuming fern leaf, but which on careful seruti- ny is tbe family Initial.\u2018There is a plain band ope-half inch wide around the outside of this bottom \u2018ptece.This fs lowered to the depth of a quarter inch.The fern leaf is lowered scarcely n quarter inch.When tbe block of butter Is finished, tbe outside band rerves as a protector for the fern leaf when it becomes necessary to pile one block on top of the other.Food Injurious to Butter, In the spring and summer cows will often wander into low fields and swamps and eat weeds and wild plants that affect the taste of the butter.says B.P.Smith in The American Cultivator.There Is sometimes a strong odor to It and aghiv a decidedly bitter taste.This Is tirst noticeable in the milk and cream, and the process of churning does not eliminate the trouble.The only sure way to prevent such odors and disagreeable taste in the butter in summer §8 to root out all weeds and noxious plaots from the pasture.If the latter 18 in a run down condition, where weeds thrive apd grass dies, it will be pretty hard to make the food of the cows good enough to produce excellent milk and cream.It will pay better in euch cases to rent more and better pasture flelds and sow the old one with new seed and fertilize it well.Most tainted and bitter summer butter comes from farms where the cows are pastured oD worpout gransfields, 3 : question arises: ble to color inferior butter to resein ble! ed in congress, but its fate is uncer ! taîn.RS SHRINKAGE IN SUMMER, Milk Decreases In Quantity and Quality Dorinz Mot Weather.The shrinkage of milk in summer, says Honrd's Dalryman, is an important question.In tlie hot,dry weather of July and August not only do the cows decrease greatly in their flow of milk, but also the quality of milk decreases\u2014 that is to say.It takes more pounds of milk to make a pound of byjter or cheese, C.L.Fitch, superintendent of the Hoard creameries, furnishes the following data on this subject: \u201cI find on referring to our dally reports dur ing August, 1890, that, for instance, ur Koshkopong creamery dropped In milk supply Aug.1-30 from 6.000 to 4,500 pounds daily aud in Lutter yield from 4.90 and 5.05 pounds per 100 pounds of milk on the Ist and 2d to 4.30 and 4.18 pounds per 100 on the 30th and 31st.Besldes this fall in quantity and per cent of fat, the losses in the skimmilk largely Increased in spite of afl the skill and care the Lutter maker could put forth.Our losses of butter fat In the buttermilk ave al ways larger in the hot weather of suw- mer than in winter.\u201d All this shrinkage in yield of both: Diilk and butter fat, also the loss in skinning and churning iu such weather, can be almost wholly remedied it the farmers will put up suuimer silos; and as soon ns the first show of shrink.! age of milk appears open the silo and\u2018 feed the cows ubout 15 pounds uight Note that the Pennsylvania leglslature (at intervals or Irregulariy.and warning.This Is a cheaper and 7 Few movements for the betterment I that body dwelt upon this feature of the ROAD INPROVEMENT.WHAT 18, BEING ACCOMPLISHED \u201cTHIS DIRECTION.IN General Demand From the Public For Betterment of Higbwaye\u2014lte- cent Legislation\u2014\"Visconsin Farmé ers llelp Themselves, of existing conditions lu this country appeal more strongly to the intelligent and progressive elements of the community than that directed to the improvement of the public roads.The popularity of the bieyele and its vapid: ly Increasing use by all classes of people have given a great stimulus to publie thought on the good ronds question, and the wheelmen's assoclations throughout the United States Lave doubtless done more In promoting and securing legislation on this subject than all other agencies put together.At the recent annual meeting of the National League of American Wheel men in Philadelpbin the president of league's activities and announced thant more effective work bad heen done the past year in the direction of Food road legislation than in any previeus : year: that the \u201cstatute books cf nearly | a dozen states may be sald to bear | \u201celoquent testimony to the fact that our lawmakers are at last responding to the ery of good ronds.\u201d In this connection it Is gratifying to\u2019 has appointed a good ronds conmis- HOW WORRY KILLS.Effcct Upon the Drain and Nutritive Center of the Body.Modern science has brought to light nothing wore curiously interesting than the fact that worry will kill, More remarkable still, it has been able to determine from recent discoveries just how worry does kill.It is believed by many scientists who have followed most carefully the growth of the sel- ence of brain discase that scores of the deaths set down to other causes are due to worry and that alone, says The Journal of Health.The theory is a simple one\u2014so simple that any one can readily understand it.Briefly put, it nmounts to thls: Worry Injures beyond repair certain cells of the brain, and the brain being the nutritive center of the body the other organs become gradually Injured, and when some disease of these organs or a combination of them arises death finally ensues, Thus does worry kill.Insidiously, like many another disense, it creeps upon the brain in the form of a single, constant, never lost idea, aud as the dropping of water over | years will wear a groove In a stone so: does worry gradually, imperceptibly, but no less surely, destroy the brain! cells that lead all the rest\u2014that ave, so to speak, ;

case also the summer silo helps great- Ix, giving the fresh cows a good start with Just the food they need to enlarge the milk flow.11 a curious thing how slow and re- | tuctant the dairy farmers are to avail themselves of the splendid advantage of the silo for both winter and summer; production of milk.There are such a great number of them who think a pas ture is just the thing.no matter it the cow has to work herself down to shin and bones to get a starvation ration \u2018out «of it.Butter Coloring.The chiel reason why the question of coloring butter artificially is being 80 much discussed is the advent of! margarine as a competitor of butter, says a correspondent of the london Live Stock Joarual.Margarise, as many of us are fain to believe, stand a puor evouzb chance in the, mrirket amunst butter if it were Dot\" «colored in imitation of batter.is this fraudulent point in margarine that has made people critical as to the: moral right or wrong of coloring pale butter to make H look rech, Granted that it is a fraud on the public to color wargarine to resemble butter, How far ts it defenxi- superior butter?And out of this arises the further question: How can we fair- Iy demand that margarine people shall desist from using coloring matter while butter makers are allowed to use it as freely as they like?This, indeed.seems to be the crux of the whole thing.so far as rival disputants are concerned.\u2018The problem might be linal- ly solved perhaps by prohibiting both parties from using such artificial color.but what would the dairymaids say to that \u2018That the margarine people have no moral right or claim to.use it may be taken as clear enough.but.then, what about the right of the butter wakers?There can be but little doubt that parliament would far wore easily see its way to prohibiting the use of artificial color in margarine if only the use of it in butter did not stand in tbe way.Kansas Cows, H.M.Brandt, one of the leading creamery men of Kansas, said to tbe state board of agriculture tbe other day: There is nota farmer in Kansas or elsewhere, if he knew what could be dove with a good cow.but who would be à dalryman, There is not a more Lonorable way of making a cou- fortable living, Show we a farmer who las insisted on raising grain for the last six or seven years exclusively, keeping very little dairy stock, if any, who bas made any money nod kept his grocery bills and incidental expenses paid up without going in debt and | will show you two wbo with 10 or 15 cows have, nside from raising a wheat crop.raised enough of corn.oats and other feed crops and fed them to the cows that paid off mortgages on their homes, paid living expenses on half the acreage, were happy and had mosn- ey in the bank.We have the disagreeable things to eontend with, we admit, in Kansas as well as elsewhere, but I have yet to see the day or month but that there was plenty of feed that would make milk.What we need is men that will persist in learning the most profitable way to farm.and we will soon see the gow In her proper place.No man has a right to call himself a farmer unless he is a worker, a wanager, n financier, a business man.and.last but not least, he must be a lover of cows If be would succeed.Adulterated Milk, At Des Moines the other day Judge Bishop decided that If a person buys milk with the knowledge that it con- talus boracic acid or any harmless article put in it for the purpose of preserving the milk, there is not ndultera- tion and that the statute does not apply.but that if a barmful article sbould be added or If horacic acid was put in and the milk sold without giving notice of its use it would amount to adulteration in the meaning of the statute.In the case under consideration the purchasen had.full knowledge would {ter roads was held in Albany and it;
