For to everyone that goes the pace that kills and keeps at it there is a prize -the prize of sheme, disgrape, demorelieation, cleeth. There is no need. et preacleiug about it. For centuries) good men have inveiglied against, it from the pulpit and the rostrum. Learned scientiets have written, endlees beaks against it. Saintly women have let- tered their most devout prayere against it, And yet it goes ea and will go on. There is a germ of degenerany in mankind that de- velops metier all conditions, and for which no remedy can be found. Its development is sometimes fast. Bat 'unless a cheek is put on it in itS early stages the end is always the same -the madhouse or the morgue.

It is grewsorne fruit, and, lying there one above the other in the compartments of the morgue, each corpse is the dumb witness of some life tragedy, some tiriviag on to death from which in the end there was no escape. If one were to take from this granary of the dead in- dividual cases anti trace them through all the steps that brought them to the morgue, one would find that directly or indirectly the end was due to the pace that kills. The same is true of New York City's 10 - 000 insane people and. of its count- less feeble-minded idiots and epilep-, tics. Somewhere at some time some- body. has gone the pace that kWs, and not only has plunged himself into destruction, but has carried others with him, or has left seeds of dissipation that have sprung up af- ter him. never go through the raorgue but, that I feel thin, above its door should be written: : THI1 WAGES OP SIN IS DEATH. : I never visit the idiots, the feeble- minded, the epileptics and the crip- pled children ia me- department • but that I am reminded that the sins of the father shall be visited upon. the child. I never see decent old women come weeping to the almshouse but that I ani sure there is a relentless fate that mixes up the lives of men and makes the innocent suffer with the guilty. But while the germ of degeneraey may not be eradicated or even regu- lated, there is no doubt in my mind that its effect can be minimized and that through the active agencies now at work it is being minimized. There is always the fool to be parted from •his money .and there is always tbat inapetuousity of temperament that raust be periodically appeased wheth- er it manifests itself in drink or gambling or any other form Of dissi- pation. But statistics will show, I believe, that urban people are better to -day than at any other period in the world's history. The pace that kills is a vice that comes with civili- zation and its accumulation of wealth and its prevalence of poverty; for, as the fortunes of a few men in- crease the fortunes of many men de- crease, and the fool without money goes the pace quite as disastrously to himself as the fool with money. Some men go it because they are rich and some becuase they are poor, some because they are well and some beemse they are sick, some be- cause they are happy and., some be- cause they are unhappy. Their atti- tude is much the same as that of the man who drank in cold weather to keep himself warm and in warm weather to keep himself cool. As I said before, the germ of de- generacy works in all kinds ot peo- ple and ander all kinds of condi- tions. But with the advance of civ- ilization there has come a convic- tion on the part of students of muni- cipal government that in municipal government attention is given rather to effect than to cause. New York city speeds princely sunis of money 1 M taking care of eriminals and paup- ers. It should pay more attention to the causes of crime arid poverty.

The portraits are the result of much travel and study by Mr. Forster in England, and he has omitted no detail of study which would assist in assur- ing 'accuracy of detail in tbe pictures and of likeness.

It was from the tombstone upon this grave ; of his father that John Wesley, when refused admittance to the church, delivered his sermons.

It occurred to an alchemist one day that it would be a fine thing to take sulphur, saltpetre and dried toads, pound them all to a- powder and "sublime" them together in an tdem:ble, which he carefully luted and set on the furnace to heat, says a writer in Ainslee's Magazine. He poked up the fire and waited around, thinking what he would do with all his money if this would turn out to be the powder of reduction that would burn base metals into gold, when, bangl went the alembic and the windows blew out, and the door ripped off its hinges and fell down, blain! The alchemist .scurffied out from under the ruins of the furnace, shook a red-hot coal or two off out of his shoe and the ashes off him- self, and vrondered what had struck him. He tried it again and again, and each time with the same result.; and then it dawned on him that he had • discovered a fair article of blasting powder. Since then about all that has been done to his recipe has been to put in a little better grade of charcoal, say that of willow twigs, instead of toasted toads. Little did tle old alchemist dream what potency was in that "powder of reduction." For such it was. Al- os though it never yet has turned lead new into gold by its mere Touch, yet when a small, round piece of lead is put with the powder into a round tube of ancious workmanship and fire laid thereto it is possible lo con- vert another man's gold into the possession of him that has the iron ' tube of curious workmanship, and Stain Quo.

Sendergaard at the Minnesota butter and cheese makers' meeting; All but- ! ter, even the very fineet, is alore or leee apt to lose its nelicate flavor and by !, this some of its value, for every day It' gets older. The keepiiag quality of but- ter is therefere a very important mat- ter to dealers as -e'en as coneumers. It! is a fact that butter witla a high flavor ; bee for a good many years been the : leadeein the Americen butter market. r; Close study, however, proyes that the . demand. bas been moviug constantly irt flee direction of a milder, sweeter and ' More delicate flayored article. Whethe er now this movement of the demand is „due or not "to the fact that butter with a comparatively mild flavor Proves to be a better keeper, one thing is sure, that a number,of creameries and deal- ers also have already established a, rep- utation by this grade of butter. It is very evident, providing tho milk in right and all other processes are cor- rectly carried out, that flavor in butter depends largely ell the degree of acid- ity of the cream when churned. Tee the species or kinds of bacteria, the Mission of 'which is to carry out the fermentative cbanges, are surely fac- tors Qf AQ less importanee ia obtalning a high or rand flavor. The science of preducing a certain desired, flavor is firSt to develop the desired bacteria /con eterter and then to protect there against ad the 'undesired* WU'S tending strictly to cleanliness and regu- lating the temperature. Whether it le certain bacteria or a chemical peaceas thee gives butter made from ripened cream its delicete aroma, OW) thing ifi known, that 213 goon ae the lectic acid bacteria have produeed a certain qual- ity of lactic acid, the limit of their AO - time has been reached. They do net die, but simply disceutimie their action. Tide is the danger peint la the ripening process. Front now on there is nothing to keep the undesirable bacteria In cheek., and as some or these foreign or- ganisms develop very rapidly it re- quires hut little to affect the butter by giving It a streng or unclean flavor. This Illustrates clearly why Itis so dangetees to ripen ererau above Its proper degree in order to gain a high flavor. It also glees us au idea of why butter with an, abnormally high flavor .n mast cases turns rancid In a fele" days. The undesirable bacteria, having just commenced their action in the cream, continue their work of destrue- tion In the butter. Wo learn not only from experience gained in our dairy schools and a few creameries, but also from what has become customary 1. ether countries, that by takiug up the Pasteur system we would be able to PrOdUee a much healthier, more mil - form and especially a better keeping quality or butter. What bolds us back' is not a, lack of knowledge of the re- sult, nor is it because our crearaery dustxy or our butter makers are not up to the high level of other countries, but merely because the preseet demands ot the Araerlean butter market do not favor the mild flavored butter roade from pasteurized cream.
