3,500 MILES OX FOUR SHILLING Jew's Amazing Trip to Ober-Amme iiua?Winning a Wager. A tale of adventure and determin tion that suggests the Middle Ag< rather than our easy-going count] could be told by a young Jew who now probably somewhere in Franc without coat or hat. but with a se viceable cow-boy shirt to his back ar a dusty old bycicie to help him c his journey. His name is Harv< Loeb, and he is going all the wt from Philadelphia to Ober-Ammergi on four shillings. As may be guessed, the feat is b ing done for a wager, with a genuii self-help purpose behind it. Mr. Loe who is 21 years old, is the son < Russo-Jewish parents, who emigrate to America some time before his birt He has shown, it appears, remark; ble grit and initiative ever since h childhood. He has earned his ow living in every sort of way, from d' livering milk to sweeping out stable He has even started his own fath< in an aerated water factory. All the time, however, like Barrie John Shand, he has been "deserai for books." While keeping himse he has paid his own college fees i the Philadelphia school of pedagog: and it was here that the idea of tfc trip to Ober-Ammergau took shapi After a recent lecture on pr< Shakespearean drama, conversatlo happened to turn to the Ober-Ammei w" Passion Plav and the cost ( reaching the Bavarian village. Loe declared that he thought the journe could be done on next to nothing, an was prepared to prove it. His fellow-students thereupon "pt up" 100 dollars (20 pounds), whic was to be his if he succeeded in toui ing England, France and German: and in visiting the Ober-Ammerga Passion Play, without providing him self beforehand with any more cas than he had on him at that momoni His pockets were duly turned on and only 99 cents (4s) was founc None the less Loeb accepted th wagerer and started off forthwith. His journey has proved anythin but luxurious. He cycled to Bait: more, and from there got a berth a cattle tender on board a cattle shi bound for Liverpool. The work o board, Loeb confessed, was fearfull hard and rough?4 o'clock till o'clock at night?with food tha would have been "an insult to th fishes." Curiously enough he foun ? that no fewer than eight out of th nine cattle tenders on board were coi lege men like himself, working thei passage over to the old world. From Liverpool he came to Londo on his own bicycle?a 7-year-old ma chine, which he had managed to brin with him over the Atlantic. One nigh J5vr v > he spent in a hay loft, where he foun three Irish laborers, who sat up a] night with him while he told ther ^ ;\7 of glorious hopes in the land wher there was "bread and work for all. When he arrived in London he wa practically penniless, and mad straight for Whitechapel. A Jewis woman helped him to a night's she! ter at Rowton house, and the nex morning he reported himself, coatlej and hatlese, at the offices of the "Jew ish Chronicle," where his authenticit r. was inquired into, and he was helpe upon the journey to the continent. Both the directors of the "Jewis Chronicle" and from the officials c the Rowton house at Whitechapel, "Daily Chronicle" representativ learnt that there was no possibl doubt about the bona fides of Loe and his story. He is, it was averred, an extremel intelligent young fellow, full of plucl and bubbling over with vitality, a unmistakable Jew, proud of his rac< and with a strong American acceni As the "guest of Lord Rowton" h created a most favorable impressio in spite of his bizzarre attire. As a matter of fact little eccentr cities of dress and manner do nc startle people much at Rowton hous< where they are used to odd chara< ters. "Round the world is a commo enough tour with our guests," sai the manager, "and I dare say I coul find a few during the year who ar I* A doing it on even less than this youn fellow."?London Chronicle. The Blight of Luxury. "You don't want to elect that ma again," said the person who will stoc to any device. "He is wholly unfit 1 represent you. Why, I saw him ea ing pie with a knife!"

Little Howard came in the othi day crying and rubbing several bum] caused by a series of 'butts' admini tered by a pet sheep.

"CLEAN MILK IX THE HOMF " r- State Board of Health Issues Bulletin Valuable to Housekeepers. a- Under the caption, "How to Keep es Milk Wholesome,' the State board of ry nealth in its bulletin recently pubis lished on "Clean Milk in the Home," e, says that "immediately before milking, r- the cow should be curried and the id udder and teats washed with soap and >n water, rinsed and wiped dry with a ?y clean, dry, fresh laundered towel; a ty chain should be fastened across the ia stall under the cow's belly to prevent her from lying down until e- milked. le "The stable should be airy, should b, be of one story only, witewashed inof side as often as soiled and should Mi have a water-tight floor, preferably of h. cement, in the room used for milka ing. Previous to milking the floor and is walls should be made wet to keep n dust down. There should be no loft e- or anything else above the milking s. room, but the roof, during milking *r hours, and the doors and windows should be closed. 's "The milker should be free from te disease, particularly of the hands, If nose, throat and lungs; he should not it handle milk if he has sickness of y, any infectious nature at his home. ie "After cleaning the cow and e. sprinkling the stable, he should wash 3- and dry his hands, using clean water n and soap and a fresh laundered r- towel; not the one he wiped the cow )f with. b "Milking should be done with dry y hands and teats, nothing whatever, J d particularly milk, being used as a lu Dricant. it "Utensils should be the same as h those used by the best dairies.

Seamless, r, narrow top milking pails are the '< u best. t- "All vessels should be washed in h warm water and soda rinsed in boilt. ing water and set upside down under it mosquito netting in the sunlight or ' I. fresh air. Immediately before use e they should be rinsed with boiling i (not warm) water, g "The milk should be immediately i- removed from the stable to a closed, s screened room and strained through p cloths kept for that purpose.

The invenlt tion has just been explained before the National Association of Cotton ' Manufacturers by the inventor, James .S. Hope, of Rouen, France. The product of his invention is called "La Soyeuse." The wood is first reduced to cellulose and it is pressed through holes into threads which can be wound on spools or drums. It takes er dves verv well. What it will amount ps to in the end remains to be proven. gFrobably the product will be inferior ? to cotton and cost more. c~ _ 3o The Denmark Realty Company is j ' delivering the goods.
