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.

To avoid unnecessary contamina- tion or source of infection is the first step to take and this can only be accompl shed through clean, sanitary methods in every phase of mirk productioe, leirst, if poseible it is better to have milk -producing cows On pasture tharononfined in barn. The pasture is naturally free from any bacteria, being- well disin- fected by nature's sunshine and weather, while the barn is liable to be heavily ehargee with spores end other minute dust, mo•tleles carrying germs o/ various. Miles. The milk pails can bo so covered as to pre- vent the entrance of much material that would naturally fall from the udder and sides of the animal, Bet- ter still, if the flies are 110t too bad. 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 inilltect under 'a large tree or 10 a rail fence corner, where stable fumes were unknown. A certain amount of souring bacteria. lodge within the lower elect of the teat and if the first Iwo Or three streams he milked upon the ground or in a separate vessel, a large amount of the con- taraination will be removed. leit this 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 time milk naturally will aour, but' of course, it should not sour too soon after milking, Milk handled in 12 eloan, sanitary way from healthy 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 milk, that is, cooled and aired at once and kept cool until it is allow- ed to ripen for churning. • The se- parator itself will largely betiefit the crectin, but still not enough to make aerating unnecessary. Much has been said and written regarding the care of milk, but I fully believe that not half as much of this urging has been done as, 8110111d 130 or perhaps will be, before the proper methods are ueed.

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 at the trail of the gun.

To this may be added the militie and volunteers of Great Britain and .1.reland, also the very large native army in India, and the militia and volunteers of Can- ada, Australia ancl other colonies. So that, taking 11.11 things into Consideration, the ariny of the old flag was not so badly taxed as some have imagined. Another quarter of a million of men could have gono into some other quarter of the world had it been noceseary.

There is ale ways wild emulatiom in this matter ' between our big warships. Every- one turns to and helps, from the ollicers downwards. Just a Yeer ago 12.341.8. Mars took in 1,070 tone of coal at the Tate of 208.8 tons Pei' hour. Her best hour's work was 288 tons, or nearly four a min- ute. But the Mars did not hold the coaling record many months. let M.S. Prince Coorg.e, at Portsmouth, recently got in 1,200 tons at the re- naarlcable average rate of 226 tons an hour, Last year saw two other amazing 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 bringing up 11,000 cubic yards of stuff within sixty minutes. Mr. Brock possesses many records in his special department. Ceetain- ly no other firework manufacturer ever equalled in rapidity a commis- sion which this celebrated pyrotech- nist ouce executed for the Portuguese Government. Thirty-five tons of firewoeks were ordered for a display on the Tagus at one month's notice. To give some idea of the enormous amount of work this implied it may be *mid that the line of ships on which they were displayed was a Mile long, and some of the set pieces were 250 feet long and eigh- ty high. Temporary decks, jury masts, and all sorts of precautions against fire had to be provided. Yet in three weeks all was ready, and the program went off WITHOUT A HITCH. 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- ever, milked seventy-nine cows twice daily for a whole statelier, and Ole - livered each. clay 2,000 pints of milk at the butter factory near by. .So loag ago he 1811, Sir John Ihroginorton, a Berkshire letaclown- er, wagered a thousand guineas that he would sit down to dinner at hall - past seven in a well -made, woven and dyed suit the wool of which had been fleece on a sheep's back at five o'clock the same morning. The test took place on June 28th of that year, and the baronet won the wag- er easily, his suit beihg ready by a quarter past six. Some years af- terwards a Millocvner at Galashiels, Scotland, beat this record, the suit in this case beteg ready within eight hours. TINCIINE BUILT IN 01.
