FOOD VALUE OF MILK. Its Nutritive Substances, All of Which Are Digestible. In certain sicknesses, says a scientist, such as typhoid, life may depend on milk, which may not only postpone the final issue in certain kinds of senile decay, but may contribute to the stability of vigor in maturity. While the food value of milk is generally recognized, there is a popular ignorance of the exact nature of its nutritive properties. If a gallon of water is boiled long enough it is lost in steam. Milk similarly boiled leaves a solid residue weighing from twenty to twenty-three ounces. This substance chiefly consists of sugar, fat, the fat of butter, casein—a material with feeding properties resembling those of the white of egg, of the lean of meat and the gluten of wheat—and certain mineral substances which are essential in the manufacture of the bones and teeth. Unlike almost all other foods, these milk substances are all digestible, and, what is more, they exist in almost precisely correct proportion to each other. The once famous analyst Letheby demonstrated that whereas 100 pounds of quite lean beef without bone contained seventy-two pounds of water and twenty-eight pounds of feeding matter—not all of which is digestive—100 pounds of good milk contained fourteen pounds of feeding matter—all digestible. THE INCENSE TREE. It Is Squatty and Thorny, Like the Myrrh and Acacia. Incense is the restless gum that exudes from a tree found in British Somaliland from near Berbera to Cape Guardafah. Some incense comes from a region adjoining Maskat, near the Arabian coast. Inferior incense is found in India, but the best and greatest quantity comes from British Somaliland. The incense tree is squatty, thorny and unslightly, like the myrrh and acacia, and seldom reaches a height of fifteen feet. Incense is not only used in worship, but many orientals use it to sweeten the breath and burn it in their houses to kill disagreeable odors. The crop varies from 2,240,000 to 3,300,000 pounds and is gathered in the autumn and brought to market by the Somalis during the winter months. The price ranges from 2 to 6 annas (4 to 12 cents) per pound, according to quality. Incense is extensively used all over the orient, and last year 1,493,744 pounds were shipped to Bombay, which furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana.

THE FIRST SKY MAP. It Was Very Probably the Chart Made by Hipparchus. The Chalcens were probably the first to cultivate astronomy, which, with its sister science, astrology, appears to have been evolved independently by Egyptians, Chinese and Chaldeans, who had all distinguished the planets from the fixed stars and grouped these into constellations. Drawings of the heavens were probably common to the observers of all three nations, but owing to the wholesale destruction of records it is impossible to say whether any charts upon plane surfaces, which alone can strictly be called maps, were made by them. In more recent times the first to project a chart of the heavens was Hipparchus, who upon the appearance of a new star decided to record the state of the sky in his time and to compile a catalogue of all the stars visible above his horizon. He enumerated 1,080 stars and in order to fix accurately their positions invented the planisphere, a projection of a sphere upon a plane surface, which is for most purposes more useful than a globe. Just think of it! We are passing through this world, but we are not stopping here. Let us make the journey agreeable to each other—Schoolmaster. Separating Them. "In the old days, when the capital of Alabama was located at Tuscaloosa, there was a good deal of open gambling at that seat of legislation," said a southern man. "It was the custom in those times for men of all grades of society to risk their money at games of chance, and the lawmakers who gathered at Tuscaloosa were among the best patrons of the gaming tables. "The proprietor of one of those resorts, wishing to keep the state solons separated from the ordinary customers of his place, put up a big sign in the apartment devoted to faro, poker, roulette and the like, which read: "'Members of the legislature please take the table to the right; gamblers take the table to the left. It's hard to tell you apart.'"—Washington Post. Germany's First Windmill. The first windmill in Germany was built at Windsheim.

The Augustine monks at that place desired to build one such as they had seen in Italy, but the lord of the manor forbade them, declaring that the winds belonged to him. The monks applied to the bishop of Utrecht, who promptly laid down the fundamental principle that no one had any power over the winds of his diocese but himself. He gave permission to build the mill and it was erected in the closing years of the fourteenth century. With Humboldt's Notes.

The First Preaching In Maine. The earliest church permanently established in Maine is said to have been Episcopal. Services were held at Saco in 1637. At what is now Popham services were held frequently in 1607, the first instances of the performance of the rites of the Episcopal church in any part of the United States north of Virginia and the first Protestant worship and preaching by an ordained minister in any portion of this vast territory. The Death Penalty A little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignificant cuts or puny bolls have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy.

Yeward Got Up a Riot In Paris For Any One Who Paid Him. Paris had for years a professional order of mobs, a man named Hayward, who would get up a mob and take a riot any time, for any purpose, according to orders, provided a sufficient amount of money was paid to him. He was employed chiefly by political leaders, and his services were great demand at election time. His regular business was peddling songs and novelties upon the street. Many of the songs were written for him, many of the toys were his invention, and he was a man of genius in some directions as well as a strong character—so strong that he was called the "Napoleon of the Camelots" and the "king of the Camelots." If he had any principles or opinions of his own he kept them to himself. He would break up a political meeting or create innovation and make a popular hero for fixed sum of money. He had under his command and subject to his call at a moment's notice, night and day, between 2,000 and 3,000 street hawkers, peddlers, newsboys and other gentlemen with lungs of leather and was in the habit of paying them from 2 to 4 francs each every time their services were required to raise a lot or give a triumphant greeting to any politician who wanted to convince the public of his popularity. With 500 or even 250 of his followers Bayward could raise an awful rumpus, and human beings, like sheep, always follow a leader. It was Mr. Pickwick, I believe, who said that it was good policy to shout with the loudest of the crowd, and no one could have collected such a band of howlers in Paris or anywhere else as the "king of the Camelots." He led the mobs and directed the riots in the interest of General Boulanger when the latter attempted to repeat the part of Napoleon I. and was the author of the Dreyfus riots, for which he was paid by a syndicate of army officers. The police knew all about him, but never interfered with his work because they had confidence in his ability to control his followers and realized that any interference on their part might demoralize them. So this professional mob organizer was allowed great liberties. He could not have existed in any other city in the world. Paris is the only place that could produce such a man, and when he died the newspapers contained formal obituaries, giving a detailed account of his operations for the purpose of influencing public opinion, MECHANICAL WONDERS. The Toys Louis XIV. Played With In His Childhood Days. An extraordinary piece of mechanism was constructed for the amusement of Louis XIV. when a child. It consisted of a small coach drawn by two horses in which was the figure of a lady, with a footman and page behind. According to the account given by M. Camus, the constructor, this coach being placed at the extremity of a table of a determinate size, the coachman smacked his whip, and the horses immediately set out, moving their legs in a natural manner. When the carriage reached the edge of the table it turned on a right angle and proceeded along that edge till it arrived opposite to the place where the king was seated. It then stopped, and the page, getting down, opened the door, upon which the lady alighted, having in her hand a petition, which she presented, with a courtesy. After waiting some time she again courtesied and entered the carriage. The page then resumed his place, the coachman whipped up his horses, which began to move, and the footman, running after the carriage, jumped up behind it. Louis XIV. had also an automaton opera in five acts, with fresh scenes for each. It measured sixteen and a half inches in breadth, thirteen inches four lines in height and one inch three lines in thickness for the working of the machinery.—Westminster Gazette. RESURRECTION PLANTS. The Curious Rose of Jericho and the Mexican Fern Ball. The rose of Jericho is perhaps one of the most familiar of the curiosities of plant life known as resurrection plants. It is said to be imported from the valley of the river Jordan and is the resurrection plant mentioned in the Bible. The plant when received from its native home is simply a bunch of leafless and seemingly lifeless sticks or branches clustered tightly together. When placed in a glass of water, however, the branches expand, seed buds unfold, and soon the green foliage starts out, and the plant grows. The Mexican resurrection plant is the fluffy, fernlike variety often noticed in saucers of water in the horist's window. When it is dormant it is a shrunken, rounded ball of tightly folded leaflets, dry and dead. It is dropped in a bowl of tepid water, and soon one frondlike tip curls slowly outward, then another and another, in a short time; there is floatation. WORLD'S FAIR EXCURSION RATE ST.

Women's Work Versus Men's. The reason why women are not paid as well as men for what seems to be an equal degree and kind of labor, says a woman writer, is in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred cases because the work is not as well done as a man would do it in the same circumstances. It is not so well done because, first, it is not the custom to train girls as severely as boys, and precedent and message are potent here; secondly and chiefly, because a girl considers her teacher, be it typewriting, bookkeeping, selling merchandise, dressmaking or teaching, as a raft that will float her and her fortunes until she is picked up near shore or far at sea—by the good ship Matrimony. Then the raft is abandoned and forgotten, so far as the can forget an unpleasant episode. The boy learns his business for a lifetime. That he hopes to marry somebody is but another reason why he should master the more thoroughly every department of his work and make himself the sooner indispensable to his employer. ADOPTING A BABY. Methods of the Society In Charge of the Tota in New York. It isn't easy to get a baby for adoption from the organization which has charge of them in New York. On receipt of the application a blank is sent back containing some twenty printed questions, to be filled out by the would-be parents and a request for three references. If the answers are satisfactory, further blanks go to the persons referred to, asking information on the applicant's character and circumstances, and reliable citizens of the neighborhood are privately consulted. Then the agent comes and inspects the family. 19 the home seems a good one, a baby as near the requirements as possible is sought. There is even an attempt to select a suitable temperament—a placid baby for a nervous woman or one who is not bored by attentions for the demonstrative. The visiting agent has to be something of a psychologist. Every one calls for curly hair of course, and blue eyes are much in demand, but the new mother generally forgets all her specifications when she is confronted with the living candidate. The baby is taken to the home by the agent, who leaves written directions about food and care and comes back twice a year to note progress. Frequent reports are encouraged, and even after the child is legally adopted live home is simply a bunch of leavers and seemingly lifeless sticks or branches clustered tightly together. When placed in a glass of water, however, the branches expand, seed buds unfold, and soon the green foliage starts out, and the plant grows. The Mexican resurrection plant is the fluffy, fernlike variety often noticed in saucers of water in the florist's window. When it is dormant it is a shrunken, rounded ball of tightly folded leaflets, dry and dead. It is dropped in a bowl of tepid water, and soon one frondlike tip curls slowly outward, then another and another, and in a short time there is floating in the dish a beautiful metallic green plant, a great, loose, expanded rosette of fine fernlike leaves, odd and beautiful. This experiment can be repeated many times, the plant curling together tightly when dry and expanding into new life when soaked in water—Young People's Weekly. GAS AS AN ILLUMINANT. China, It Has Been Asserted, Used It Centuries Age. It has been asserted, but never proved conclusively, that China used gas for lighting purposes centuries before its use in the western world. If this was so it was doubtless natural gas. Clayton, at the end of the seventeenth century, stored gas in bladders and played with it at times, and Lord Dundonald in 1787, in working a patent for coal tar, stored up the gas and occasionally used it for lighting up the hall of Culross abbey. It is to the genius of a Scotsman, W. Murdoch, that we owe our bright illuminant. In 1792 he was living at Redruth, Cornwall, and after experiments in gasmaking he lit up his own house, much to the astonishment of his neighbors. Called to Birmingham, he erected a large plant for lighting up the Soho works. This drew attention to the whole matter, and in 1803 London began street lighting. The Royal society in 1808 gave Murdoch its Rumford gold medal for his invention—London Standard. An Important Difference. Not long after a series of losses at sea on a certain steamship line two travelers were discussing transatlantic liners. One of the men preferred the C—line, the other the T—line, the one on which the repeated wrecks had occurred. "There's one important difference," said the first, "that you don't seem to have considered, but which weighs strongly with me." "What is that?" "Why, the C—line guarantees to take you across, but the T—line guarantees to take you only as far as it goes."—Harper's Weekly. Another Puzzle. Howson Lott—Here's a copy of the new time table.

How Nerve Energy Is Wasted. So many people needlessly and recklessly waste their nerve energy. They drum the chair or the desk with their fingers or tap the floor with their toes; they hold their hands; they sit in a county very attractive and geous for truck raising; they are on a small scale.

Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pronounced it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no desire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffering if they but knew of its value. Sunga Dunker Don't you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist today? WINE OF GARDUI Thus Adam looked when from the garden driven And thus disputed orders sent from heaven. Like him I go, and yet to go am loath; Like him I go, for angels drove us both. Hard was his fate, but mine still more unkind. His Eve went with him, but mine stays behind. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources of the Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, waluuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns $67.50 To St. Louis and Return May 11, 12, 17, June 1, 2, 15, 16, 22, 25, July 1, 2, 7, 8, 13, 14; August 8, 9, 10, 18, 19 September 5, 6, 7, 8 October 1, 4, 5, 0.

Hole, Los Angeles Nasal CATARRH PALACE LIVERY J. Hahn, Prop. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles .6577 895,063 Orange .2388 569,436 Riverside .2340 427,067 San Bernardino .2350 219,182 San Diego .2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles .85,044 Orange .41,549 Riverside .32,947 San Bernardino .37,877 San Diego .10,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9,000 more acres or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4,000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.
