Physician in tit Louis Globe-Democra- t. Danger in Milk. ' Bnt probably moie danger lurks in ruilk thau in water. Milking is done very largely by men whose are uncleanly, and who have no proper ideas of purity and neatness. But if we can otico get it to thy house without its being cortmxiinatcd th-- re is no surety that it will remain safe for human use. It is quick to absorb impurities from the air, aad milk forms an adudrahie br eding numerous enemies to haltb. ii ia certain that many an epidemic of scarlet fever i:nd probably many a death from typhoid fever might have been pre-vented if the contaminations cf milk :iud tiieir easy traiispi.rta'.i.m h'uin house to hor.se had Iwen ileariy understood.

Scar-let lever is now, perhaps, the most dread- - e 1 foe of oar houstiholls, and is known to be communicated by means of minute panicles of the sloughed off skin of the patient. These infinitesimal particles are easily tdken in by exposed fluids. Cows alo are subject to this fever, and so the danger is vastly increased. Diph-theria has also been proven to bo earned about in milk, and, last of all, the bacil- - lus rubercul ia of consumption. ' Many physician;-.- , including Dr. Bis- - sell, believe that using milk from cows affected with lung di.seases is the cause fif a large proportion of the pulmonary j disease of human beings.

Another possible triumph of medical science over disease is suggested by a pa-per read liofore the Detroit Medical asso-ciation recently on "Alimentation in Therapeutics," in wJiich was announced an important disoovery by Signor Vin-cent. Marcano, of Venezuela, in regard to the pineapple. According to Signor Marcano there is in the common pine-apple a ferment or principle similar to pepsin, of such remarkable strength tint the juice of u single pineapple will di-gest ten pounds of beef. If this proves true a new and important agent in the treatment of dyspepsia has been discov-ered. As nearly all other diseases are directly influenced by the degree in which food can be assimilated, and aa millions of people have imperfect diges-tion, the possibilities of this discovery are almost limitless, if it proves to bo an represented. Cleveland Leader. KiikHkIi Women's Taste. Nowhere in tho world can so many handsome, tasteful women be seen us in London during the season. Of course some are foreigners, and Americans are generally among the most attractive, and it must be remembered that the British kingdom sends its fairest flowers to town at that time; but. the fact remains that many English women know how to dress well. Nor i;i it. true that small feet are an American monopoly. The model of Lady Hi Hand's foot is one of tho attrac-tions of Holland House. Sho is not alone in her beauty. English women have been careless in ihe matter of shoes, and shoes make a deal of difference ill the ap-pearance of feet. What 1 like in the English in that they can't bo bullied out of their convictions. Morris, Xlosselti, liuskin begin a crusade Against the Philistines, against stupid ugliness, against blind adoration of con-ventionality. Women join their ranks mid attempt to make poetry out of mil-linery. Some of their efforts are very ridiculous, but ont of these efforls have come Oainesboro hats and charmingcos- - t nines, malting the wearers look like fas-cinating old pictures instead of fashion plates. For the first time England is ex-ercising an influence upon France. Ksthetioism includes too much beauty to lw ignored, and Parisian modistes are taking lessons of their .despised neigh-bors. If I were asked which women to-day had the more taste in dress, Ameri-- i can or English, I should say tho English. because they are beginning to think, and era striving to be individual. In the chaff of affectation there is the grain of an honest ideal. Kate Field's Washing-ton, ; : WOMAN'S WORLD. TO SPEND WINTER EVENINGS PLEAS-- !

This honor is usually reserved for Catholic sovereigns. and it is needless to add that the gift of Leo XIII would be looked upon as un- - preeedented. So far it is certain that the Golden Hose has not yet left Home, while as a rule it is disposed of within a few months. It is probable that there would lie no ceremonial, but the mere giving of tho rose to the wife of a presi-- 1 dent of a European republic would bo most siguilicant. Paris Cor. London Chronicle.

An extinct bird onco common on the Island of Mauritius, is tho hermit, so called liecanse it w;if found only in pairs, which "walked with such a mingling of pride, lieauty ami gracefulness that one could not avoid admiring and loving them, so that their good looks often saved their lives." Many years ago this same island was the home of remarkable birds which were called giants, their heads rising six feet high. Their bodies were no larger than that of a goose, but their legs and toes were very long. They were easily caught by dogs, because they required some timo to lift themselves from the ground. Thirty years ago the scientific world wa startled by the discovery of bird bones of gigantic proportions in the riv-ers of New Zealand. On being put to-gether the skeleton approached tho gi-raffe in size. It has Iwen called the and was known to the natives aa the 1110a. Its height, according to Rich-ard Dale Owen, was more than eleven feet, and his comparison of bones leads to the conclusion that the bird belonged to tho ostrich species. Among the creatures whose disappear-ance is very probable is reckoned a bird of Madagascar, exceeding the gigantic moa in size. As recently as 1851 enor-mous eggs were brought to France by tho captain of a merchantman, which were six times as large as an ostrich's, being equal to 1 18 hjens' eggs, and hav-ing a capacity of a gallon and three-quarter- s. The bird itself hits never been traced, although tho presumption is that it may still exist in solitudes that have not yet been penetrated by man. No bath is considered complete in which a bath bag does not float. Tho contents depend upon the resources of the bather.

What society young ladies cau do sometimes is well illustrated by the career of a Washington young lady. She had lived in Washington for a number of years. She has had in-dependent means, and has lived un-der the care of relatives and friends, having no immediate family. She was well known in Washington so-ciety. No one ever would have thought her capable of running a western ranch. To jump from the gayeties of Washing-ton to the back of a horse in Texas wa a long leap, and yet this is what tbiH young lady has done. When forced by circtimstaiices to go to Texas to look after her own affairs, she invested a part of her fortune in a Texas cattle ranch at a time when such investments were all the rage. She found some time ago that her in-vestment in this direction was bringing in nothing, and probably would be a loss. As she was a line horsewoman she made np her wind to utilize this practi-cal part of her education, and she left Washington to take charge of her ranch. She has just returned after having made a successful trip and demonstrated, after a year of trial, her capacity to run suc-cessfully a Texas cattle ranch. She spent hours out of doors every day on horseback, and for her pluck and cour-age she has had the hearty support of the neighborhood for, miles around her ranch. It is a novel experience for her, but as it has taught her tho most inter-esting lesson of independence, her story should make a good subject for a rlay. Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.

An I'mbrella Saving Remedy. Habit sometimes acts as a cure or remedy for absent tnindedness. A New York lawyer, who in the course of a year scored a loss of elevon umbrellas through forget fulness, some timo ago began car-rying a cane. He grew accustomed, to having a stick ia his hand whenever he went on the street, and now when it rains is no more liable to leave his um-brella in an office or a restaurant than ho is his hat or coat. Miss Mabolla Young Low, a New York girl and college graduate, has pur-chased a nursery, and will devote her time and energies to the cultivation of roses and mushrooms. A Woman Designer. We have in Boston a young woman of the name of Miss Mary O'Connor, who at one time was employed on Broadway, New York. Sho was brought to the at-tention of Mr. Belcher, of the firm of R. H. White & Co., of this city, about, a year ago, and he at once recognized her ability as a designer. He offered her a place in his big establishment, which she readily acceptea. I he hrra sent ner to Paris and other Enropean cities for the purpose of studying up styles and becom-ing inoculated, if iossible, with the spirit of that creative genius with which the foreign atmosphere is charged. She de-veloped wonderfully sensitive receptive qualities, and when she retnrned home was running over with ideas. She be-gan at once to put them into practical use, and the result has been not only flat-tering to herself but a source of great profit to her employers, as well as awak-ening a sense of never-endin- g gratitude in the ladies she has served. Many of her conceits would fill the heart of a Parisian designer with the greenest kind of envy, and alarm him with fear for the future of his own city. Boston Cor. Cloak and Suit Keview. A Working Woman Appeal. The working girls' tdubs have been considering for some time the different reasons why people of leisure look down with a sense of superiority Um self sup-porting women. In Far and Near, the organ of the association of clubs, a work-ing woman, Lucy A. Warner, makes an eloquent appeal to the world for the answer of the question, which to them is hard to understand. "Is it because we lack natural ability!1" 6ho asks, and procc eds to call attention to the delicate and difficult work ac-complished by women requiring the help of eye and hand and brain, stating con-cisely: "There is no copyright on brains. Ood is no respecter of persons, ami so to us working girls ho has intrusted one, two, and to some even five talents, "Is it because we lack education?" she continues, and tells of many working girls who spend all their leisure in study because it is a delight to them. "Is it because wa lack virtue? A noted man once said, "Not oven the famed Hebrew maiden as she stood on the giddy turret more sacredly guarded h"r honor than does many a half starved sewing woman in the streets of New York.' We are proud of our honor, we are as care-ful of our reputation as our sisters who dress in purple and fine linen. It is true there are exceptions, bnt hfis not the im-moral working girl her rivals among women who should be her teachers in all pure and noblo living? "Is it because we work?" she cont hides, and speaks of the professional people whom tho world honors and yet who are all busy workers. Working women have discovered to their sorrow that therais a difference lietween brain work and manual toil. "The teacher considers herself sujicrior to the sewing girl, and the sewing girl thinks herself above the mill girl, and tho mill girl thinks the girl who does general housework tb her, and Mi.ss Flora McFlimsey, who toils not, neilher dot's sho spin, thinks herself superior to them all.

Just after New York city had recover-ed from the shock of the recent great snow storm which spread over Manhat-tan island a blanket of white, the resi-dents came to the conclusion that the blizzard in one sense was a blessing, for it brought them tho unusual pleasure and excitement of sleigh riding. For the first time in two years runners took the place of wheels on vehicles in the fashionable routes of Central park. Many were the stylish and costly turn- - outs to be seen whirling along the broad driveways liencath the leafless trees, but none of the equipages of wealth attracted half the attention liestowed upon the vehicle in which Judge Henry P. took his outing. JCDOE M'OOWAS'S ANCIENT SLEIOH. The judge held the ribbons over a pair of spirited black horses, and accompan-ied by three friends occupied a box pat-terned sleigh which bore on the back-board the legend 'S. B., im" This sleigh was built Pii years ago at f, r Judge McGowan's Benson. When first used it crcaVd a sensation equal to that which it excited the other day. Then the ncighlxirs declared that "the Bensons were putting on lots of style," but when McGowan appeared in Central park his friends wonderingly in-quired "where hn got that old tub." Judge McGowan. however, is loyal to the ancestral and apparently indestruct-ible relic, and declares that so long as he lives and snow favors Gotham with ita visits he will take his winter pleasuring in the homely hut sturdy and historic Benson sleigh.

An ingenious contrivance" has been di vised which, when attached to a vehi-cle, will stop a runaway horse or speed-ily arrest a vicious or frightened animal. It consists of a removable sleeve which acts in conjunction with a central pill ley and side levers, which are under tM immediate control of the driver, and by which an instant rearward revolution of the central pulley can be effected. A fcujstantial band, preferably of loathe.', s secured around the central pulley and vU':nls forward!)-- , its extremity having lateral straps attached to it, and also to the bits of tho horses, so that the revo-lution in a direction away from the horses will shorten the lwnd and pull the heads of the horser. downward ami rearward m a forcible manner, throwing the. animals upo.i their haunches and quickly arresting their forward move-ment. Provision is i.lso made for automatic-ally locking the central pulley, so that tfio tension of the horses will not be re-moved if they liack up. This pressure, however, can I readily removed by tho driver pressing with his foot on the treadle when it is desired to control a team of fractious horses with trammeled heads.
