POISON IN MILK. .
On the Fourth of July at a pic
nic in Adair, a little town in Iowa,
a large number of people were
seriously poisoned. The matter
was referred to the state board of
health, and a thorough investiga
tion resulted in the conclusion that
the illness of the picnickers was
caused by tyrotoxicon, or cheese
poison, an acid fluid containing
microbes, which is developed in
decomposing milk or cheese.
This poison, which is a new dan
ger to human life, was discovered
by Professor Naughn, of Ann Ar-
Jbor, Mich., in 1883. Until that
time sickness that often-times at
tacks peoble at picnics and indoor
festivals after eating freely of ice
cream was generally supposed to
be caused by a paison developed
by contact of acid in the cream or
milk with the metallic vessels in
which it had . been prepared and
frozen. At this day, however, the
theory of the formation of the new
poison, under certain not yet clear
ly understood conditons, is gener
ally accepted, and, as a result, ice
cream is more carefully prepared
and miik is guarded more closely
against decomposition than forni-
e.ly.
A physician claimes that tyro
toxicon has undoubtedly been the
causo of thousands of deaths
among childred who have succum
bed to stomach and bowel com
plaints, incident to the summer
months. And the disordered con
dition of children which prompts
a physician to advise a change of
. milk may, in a large number of
instances, be traced to careless
ness with the milk on the farm or
dairy, or to the neglect of the lac
teal fluid by the parents of the sick
child.
Many physicians are abandoning
the "milk from the cow" theory,
on the ground that the average
Itealth of a herd of cows is better
than the average condition of one
animal. The one and only cause
. of the many diseases resulting from
drinking milk is that it has not
- been properly taken care of. The
exercise of a little more caution
will cause tyrotoxicon to fade en
tirely from notice.
4 NEW PLAN FOR HOME RULE.
A plan of home rule that is to
inclde England, Scollan d and
"Wales, as well as Irsland,-has been
Advanced by some of the leading
followers of Mr. Gladstone. It
proposes a Federal Union, with lo
cal governments in each country,
something after the plan of the
American Union. Each of the
countries are to be allowed to regu
late all matters of purely local
concern, while the crown would
have a general authority over
each, and - a general parliament
would legislate on mattes of con
cern to the whole empire.
Many things combined have sug
gested to the Gladstohians that'
thia broader plan for home rule for
Ireland is more likely to meet
with success. Among them is
the fact that the question of sep
erating church from state is rapid
ly pushing to the front in Scotland
and Wales, and with a local legis
lative government it could very
easily be settled This svstem, it
is claimed, would make less ap
parent the concession to Ireland,
and there would be no excuse for
the fears of the unionists that au
itoriamy would be followed by a
revolt of that country from all al
legiance to the empire. It is be
lieved tolbe true that if each of
these countries were balanced
.against each other, by local self
government, each would - be in
spired by a pride in maintaining
the integrity and dignity of the
whole, such as is the case in the
United States of America. Mr.
Gladstone has not yet given hi3
pinion regarding this plan, but
iteis said that he is considering it
very carefully -

.THE COST OF STIKES.
One of the notable features of
the recent report of Carroll D,
Dwight, United States Commis
sioner of the National Bureau ot
os Labor, is its statistics upon the
cost of strikes. The aggregate ex
peuse of these quarrels between
capital and labor during the last
six years has been the enormous
sum of $90,000,000, of which two-
thirds has fallen as a burden upon
labor.
It would seem that the labor
associations and theorists of the
country would perceive the folly of
strikes, and instaed of advising
them and aiding participants in
them, would devise some better
plan for bringing capital to view
the justice of their demands. Some
of the leaders of the laborers have
indeed learned this wisdom. Pow
derly has long discountenanced
strikes. Chief Arthur of the So
ciety of Locomotive Engineers has
stated that he wonid never sanc
tion another strike. When the
labor power of society adopts gen
erally this view of strikes the out
look for an amicable adjustment of
the wages problem will be more
hopeful than it cart be while the
danger of strikes exist.
Although he had an income of
$750,000 a year, in addition to a
couple of palaces kept up without
cost to him, the late Crown Prince
of Austria left debts amounting to
$2,000,000, all of which the em
peror has paid. .. " .
