CHEERED CONQUERORS.
The Peace of 1814 was celebrated
with -terrific effect by the Go -com-
mon -le who decided at the same time
to celebrate the anniversary of the
accession to the British throne of
the House of Brunswie.k. St.
James', the Green, and Hyde Perlis
were thrown open to .the public, and
all London turned out to enjoy a
gigantic fete, at which the Prince
Regent and the Royal Family were
present. The evening rejoibings were
markedby balloon ascents, mid an
amazing display of fireworks and
illuminatious costing en011110US
0111310, A Chinese bridge was thrown
across the ornamental water in St.
Jeunes' Ptak, on the top of which, in
the centre, • was a loner pagoda,
which was so brilliantly illtuninat-
ed at dusk that it caught fire and
was completely. destroyed.
A. gorgeous. structure, cellos the
Temple of Concord, was erected in
the park. Tt had at first the ap-
pearance of a fortress from which
rockets ancl shells were projected.
At a given moment, however, it
was suddenly transformed and burst
into a blaze of light, representing
instead a splendid Temple of Peace.
The rejoicings over the Peace of
1814 lasted over a week, and were
marked by extraordinary enthusiasm.
The Peace of 1811 was celebrated
by the French in the original fash-
ion of entlursiastieally cheering
their conquerors' soldiers and sov-
ereigns as they entered Paris to dic-
tate terms of peace, particularly the
Cossacks of the Tsar. On seeing
their splendid uniforms, the Parisian
ladies rushed won the horses,
threw their arms around their necks,
and requested to be taken on their
backs by the soldiers. Others kiss-
ed the boots, sabres and trappings
of the horsemen, and otherwise be-
haved themselves in an extraordin-
ary way, seeing that the soldiers
were invading their country after
defeatieg their oNVn -troops. But
the French were a trifle mad at the
time, as they saw in the invading
army a final emancipation from the
hated Napoleon.
BURNT HIS OWN HOUSE,
After Waterloo, the celebrations
were equally extraordinary. Lovers
bereft of theit sweetheai•ts,
parents who had lost sons,
and wives and husbands,
forgot their trouble, ance joined in
the rejoicing at the final oVerthrow
of Napoleon. But the lam* for
originality on this oCcasion reet
with a Warrington gentleman who,
on receipt of the news of Welling-
ton's victory, comounced that he
should celebrate and add to the il-
luminations by blirning 1118 01011
house dONVii. This be actnally did,
but it appears the house was an old
ono, mostly wood, and that he had
previously contemplated destroying
it and building a new one, Piowev-
er, he was at first taken cmite sevi-
ously, especially by a political riv-
al who, determining not to bo out-
done, burnt down a whole tenement.
Unfortunately, a big house not con-

To avoid unnecessary contamina-

first step to take and this can only
be accompl shed through clean,
sanitary methods in every phase of

it is better to have milk -producing
cows On pasture tharononfined in

from any bacteria, being- well disin-

be heavily ehargee with spores end

it is a good plan to milk the cowe
out of doors. 'I believe this is one
reason. why wo hear so much about
bad milk nowadays, while our fore-
fathers _mode very few complaints.
The old-fashioned cow was g•enerally

way it has been found that milk will
keep from one to two or even five
hours longer than where
ALL TIIP3 ATILE IS SAVED.
After the Milk has been drawn
from the eow, 'two legiennate meth-
ods remain forelceeping it, as fol-
lows Heat, and cooling and aerat-
ing. With heat wo have pasteurizing
and sterilizing, which nye all right
and most, excellent methods, but not
always practicable nor desirable.
Where milk is obtained from a good,
healthy enimal, it is better to keep
it by airing and cooling than by
pasteurizing and sterilizing ; that is,
for milk consumption. For butter or
cheesemaking•, pasteurizing will do,
or. where the milk is known to be or
thought to be infected it would be
perhaps well to pasteurize.
The quicker the milk is cooied Mid
aired, the better it will be and keep.
There are on the market many good
coolers end aerators, which answer
very well. Homemade coolers are
often met with and roe perhaps
somewhat cheaper than those on Um
arran
market. Any gement whereby
the milk will Row in a thin sheet
over a cold. surface will answer the
purpose of a cooler and aerator. It
is important, however, to have all
parts with which the milk comes in
contact so arranged. that they eau
be washed readily and disinfected
with scalding water. Coolers con-
nected with cold water sbould he so
arranged that the water will flow
through them rather than stand, but
where ice water or ice is used this
would not be necessary.
MANY CONSUMERS OF
are careless with their preduct. hr
allowing it to stand in warm rooms
or in close vessels or in refrigerators
containing other material, such as
onions, with strong odors, etc., and
thus spoiling the milk after it has
been deliveted to them in good con-
dition by the milk producer. This
perhaps causes more trouble and is
e, greater influence to promote
drugging milk than any other source.
For example, a milkman leaving a
bottle of good, pure milk at such a
place will toe° his trade for the
reason that his milk "soured," while
it was perhaps not his fault. Thus
a good many milkmen are driven to
drug their milk in order to hold
their trade, by a class of people who
are careless in handling the milk
after delivery,
Every milk constnner should knolv

of course, it should not sour too
soon after milking, Milk handled in

cows should keep from 24 to 36
hours at a, temperature of 75 de-
grees. 'Where milk is produced for
the creamery or cheese factory or
for the production of butter, ie is
quite important to have .it well
cared for . from the start, When
separated immediately after milking,
the cream should be 'treated as the

RESOURCES OF THE FLAG,

Now that the war in South Africa.
is itnished, it has bee31 considered
advisable totake a look at the re-
sources of the olcl flag and find out
what portion of the regular army
was required for the task. Taking
the army state for the first day of
Syne, 190:3, eve find that there were
exclusive of depots, 2 regiments of
Life Guards, both in England; 1
regiment Royal Horse Guards, in
England; 7 regiments of Dragoon
Guards, 5 in South Africa; 21 regi-
ments of Dragoons, Hussars, Lanc-
ers, 3.3.2 .in South Africa; 10 batta-
lions of Foot Guards, 6 in South
Africa; 156 battalions of infantry,
78 in South Africa.; of the 197 regi-
ments of cavalry and battalions of
ilifantry 105 wore in South Africa;
28 batteries of Royal Horse Artil-
lery, T in South Africa; 151 batter-
ies of Royal Field Artillery, 89
South Africa; 10 batteries of
Mountain Artillery, 2 in South
Africa; 105 compaeies of Royat Gar-
rison. Artillery, 7 in South Africe;
76 units of Royal Engineers, 28 in
South Africa; 66 companies of Army
Service Corps, 61 in South Africa;
28 companies of Army Ordnance
Corps, 9 in South Africa.
It will be easily seen that the ar-
tillery was not in this to any extent,
but what was there kept up the re-
cord of the corps. It is made up
of a elaSS of men who always sur-
render wben the last man is dying

pieces of sea work, At the Dover
National Harbor Works, one day
last summer, no fewer than forty
of the gigetntic concrete foundation
blocks were laid between eight in
the morning and five at night. These
blocks weigh forty tons apiece, oo
the amount of stone laid during that
day was 1,600 tons. About the
same time the enormous dredger
Samson had an official trial in Bris- •
bane Harbor, and broke the world's
record for this kind of work by

Farmers can point with pride to .
kilns startlingly rapid pieces of
work. Ono man, with the assistance
of two "shockers," and using throe
horses' and a six-foot binder, last
year cut and bound forty acres of '
wheat in two days. This record
was achieved by an American near
Decatur, in Illinois, England's har-
vesting record belongs to Mr. Pros-
ser, of Erdington„ who converted
growing wheat into bread within
eight hours. A record of this kind
is, of course, only possible during
an exceptionally dry season. At
Blockley, near Moreton -in -the -Marsh,
Oxfordshire, a somewhat similar ex-
periraent was successfully carried
out lest year.
For actual work these achleve-
meats cannot, however, compare
with the really amazing performance
of a Plains settler in New Zealand.
a Scotchman by birth. He and his
wife, without any assistance what-

daily for a whole statelier, and Ole -
