A strileing artiele tn the otirrefl

disousses the conditions under whi
tuberculosis or consamption may 1
conveyed from cattle to man. T
writer, Mr. names Long, who is an a
thoriey upoz . t4 subject, does n
hesitate te express the opinion tha
In the United Kingdom, more lives a

fa en undisputed fact that the oat
disease, the technical name of whi
is, taberoulosis, is identical with co
aumption in man. The malady
caused by the organism blown
Kola baeillus, and. is eenumutticab
thteugh the medium of this organis
from animal to animal and from a
mat to man. When the bacilli este,
lish themselves in tlae body oE a cow
of a bunion being, the formation

It Is computed by the leading veteri
a
-ariana of F,ngitteid that 20 per ce
of the cattle In their country are
fected wtth the disease, a much high
proportion being shown by milki
cows whioh are housed in thickly pop
lated places. It used to be suppose
liowever, that Noch's bacillus was pre
at only in milk drawn from an i
wted udder. and, consequenLIY, th
iere was no aettied danger •te the co
u"mer of the milk et a cow affect
with the raalady in any other part

that there may be tubercle in an a
parently healthy udder.

One of the experimentupon wade
this assertion is based was made
tee Waited States by Prof. Ernst, w
seleeted thirty-six cows for exanain
Von There was no perceptible di
ease of. the udder In any one case, y
in the milk of twelve the tubercle ba
callus was disedvered. Prof. Theoba
Smith, of the 'United States Doper
merit of Agriculture, bas expressed t
(Onion that milk is free froni tabere
bacilli in the earlier stages of t
disease, if the udder is healthy, b
lm adds that, In more advanced stage
even though the udder be nermal, t
milk may contain the germ. We scare
ly need point out that if buberealo
"rthkminaded with milk free tro
thele, tto baeilli are propagat
with great regality, and the who

of. the milk retailed in our great chi

It appears that in 1895, the Roy
Commission on Tuberculosis, wide
bas been re -appointed by the presezi
Povernment, issued a report to t
flallo,ving effect: First, consumption i
man Is probably acquired from anitn
food in an appreciable degree; seconcil

begins with a sigh and ends with a

Again. Christian workers, Ike the
stars, shine in magnitude. The most
illiterate man knows that these things
in the sky, lookiag like gilt buttons,
are great masses of matter. To weigh
them one would think that it would
require scales with a pillar hundreds
of thousands of miles high and chains
huulreds of thousands of muls long,
-and at the bottom of the chains has-
.
ins on either side hundreds of thous-
ands of miles wide. and that then Omni-
potence could put the mountatns into !
the scales and the hills into the hal- l''
ance, but puny man has been equal to l
the undertaking and has set a little i

and Jupiter 89,000 miles in diameter,
and that the smallest pearl on the

to the magnitude of privilege and a,
magnitude of streugth, and a manna

joy, and the weakest saint in glory
become greater than all that we cam

As a scrldier puts on armor for defense

reason for tbe command, "Arm your-

Lord Cromer, in the course of a semi-
publie address which he delivered in
England just before his return toOn
- ,
Cairo to resume his duties as uonamai
Minister Plenipotentiary, but de facto
Governor-General, remarked that his
great aim throughout. Ms twelve

to bring "clean living Englishraen"
into tbe country, so that they could.
set a good example to the natives.
In making that remark, Lord Cromer
more or less wittingly bit squarely
.. . .
on the head the nail winch constitutes
the principal key to the success of
English colonial enterprise. Without
being in any way saints, there is no
doubt that Englishmen in oriental
countries lead far cleaner lives, mor -
ally speaking, than any °tiler Euro-
Peons. That is partly due to the fact
t het no matter what their age or what

1 Englishmen are not always liked by
the natives, but as a general rule they
are resaerted; and no greater contrast
oan be imagined than, that whith pre-
vaiLs between the British community;
say, at Bombay, and the French rem-
numity at Algiers or Tunis, inspite of
the fact that both of these places are
barely thirty-six hours' distance from
Paris, as against three weeks in tb.e
ease of Bompay. ff I draw attention
to this point it is because I never yet
have seen it set. down in blaek and
