Value of MiIk Pasteurization Shown ia Officiai Report. Convîncing testimony as te the value, of milk pasteumization, as ad- vocated by Nathan Straus, of New York, is centained in a British Blue Book issued the ether day.. The -death rate for cbiidren under 5 has been reduced front 67.8 per 1,000 in 1857 to 40.9 per 1,00 in 1907. This decline is attributed te the administrative measures aed the greater attention given to the supply of milk. In ten towns de- pots have been opened fer the sup- ply of pasteurized rnilk for infanits. 01 alI Enropean countries enly Hol- land bas a loer rate of infant mortality than Britain.

IN AT TUlE DEATH. An old negro, known locally as "Uncle Abe," had be-en arrested on tbe word of a child of ten. "If the man is guilty of the crime, then by all mýeans let tbe law take its course, and let the punishment be the mose severe thatthe code 1of the State can infiet.- But let the >man bave a fair trial., Fair play's a jewel." Thus I expressed my views on the subjeet, and the person to whom I addressed myscîf seeming- ly a man of, refinernent and educa- tion-replied: Yov'-e a3rUttsher, aren tyou.'

In a few minutes yen will seýe how we punish sncb off ences as this nigger is guilty Seeing that rny appeal to the best instincts of the maddýned crowd had only the effeet of rousing him to anger, I thought it wise te re- refrain from sayýng anything te, the reýmaining portion of this represen- tativýe gathering of "the people," and, in silence. secureci a position on the b ranch of a tree wbicb over- looked the prison, and waited. AT THlE PRISON. There were 'about three or four thousand people, alI rnadly anxious te secure a place frorn wbich each conld witniess the horrible death agony of a poor fellow-human. Tbey snrged aronnd the prison, they feugbt for places vacated by tbe weaker, wbo fcll in the rnad rush for the prison gate, and their cries rent the air. iPresently I saw the prison gate opened. The "'people" had de- rnanded the accused negro, and the sheriff and warden had corne te tbe conclusion that the law must give way te force, and-it seened te me -they did net long besitatýe in cern- ing te the latter decision. Then two score or se of the men went inside the gatýe, and soon ernerged, dragging the terrifieid old man between. tbern. Hs appear- ance was the signal for a rush of the, people te 'a field about four hundred yards away. I watcbed the procession from wh.ere I sat, fascinated. But, hear- ing the poor negro speak, I climbed down, and fougbt rny wlay te bis side. "Oh, don't burn dis pore owd niggah !" be moaned.

'ere are no more successful reconomists than the King and Queen, for whilst they are never eextravagant, yet t-bey maintain the - dignity of their great position quite t a- regaily as the Czar, the richesi 1European Sovereign, and most pro - digal in his expenditure. - The secret of their Majesties' su, ýcessful management of their incomc, 1which, in view of the trernendou3l. ybeavy caîls on thern, is compara rtively srnall, is that they are nevei vwaýteful. For example, her' Ma jesty deerni $30 or $35 sufficient te fpay for a plain tailor-made yacht- sing costumne. There are many weal thïy *omen who pay $60 or $75 for the sarne class of dress. Thirty dollars is considered by many a mnoderate price for a hat. The Qucen, however, seldom paj s more than $15 or $20 for oee. I Maesty's boots, made of the be-u kid, usually cost about $10 per pair,1 a price very much below the figure which an extravagant wornan giv for a pretty pair of shoes. But noyalty always observe on,- golden rule of tbrift. What they purchase may be, and often is, plain and simple, but it mnust be absolutely the best of its kind. No muember of the Royal Family ever buys or wecars imitation material cf any sort. A celebrated Paris mod4iste announced a few montbs ago that no fasbioniable voman could dress on less tban $5,000 per annum. The Queen does not spend haif that sumn on ber ordinary at- tire, and yet ber Majesty is admit- tedly the best-dressed woman wber- ever sbe appears. It is weli known that neitber tbe King or Queen in- dulges in useless extravagances. Sorne littie time ago, a celebrated London tailor introduced a ne-i type of lining for rnorning and even- ing coats. It was a mixture of tbe finest linen and silk, and was made i n varions colors witb a delicate pattern on the surface. This lining becam e very fasbionable for a time, but the King refused to wear it for the simple reason -that it did net possess anysbtaia advan- tage over tbe ordinary si1lk lining, wbilst- it was far more ex-ýpensîv-.. PAY A FAIR PRICE. nu many ways, it is far harder for their Majesties to prýactise ,co- fory than it is for their subjeets. î 'Neither the Kin-g or Queen can ever "bargain" abo-ut anything tbey purchase. It, is, however, always understood that thecir Majesties are wil ing to pay afairan reasonable price for anything. Thie exorbitant trade3man wonld soon losýe Royal patonage.
