A Philadelphia "bacteriologist believes he has solved the problem of the sanitary delivery of milk by the invention of a paper milk-bottle which can bo sterilised, hermetically sealed, and made so cheaply that, it need be used but once. The bottle is conical in .shape, made of pulp paper, and - saturated with paraffin by being dipped in that substance at the boiling-point of water, which sterilises it. Hie sterile bottles and sterile caps are packed in nests and wrapped in a tigh. r/'ckage. In tests with certified milk the new bottles contained, on the average, only a fourth as many germs as did glass bottles, bad no leakage round the top, and kept tbo milk sweet two days longer than the old-style holders. A Scots labouring man who had married a rich widow, exceptional for her plainness, was accosted by his employer. “Well, Thomas,” ho said, “I hear you are married. What sort of a wife have you got?” “Wcel, sir,” was the response, “she’s the Lord’s haundiwark. but I oanna say she’s his maisterpiece.”
