NEWS IN BRIEF.
A man has been heavily fined at Newport (Mon.) for selling milk containing formalin. The county analyst stated that formalin was a very powerful drug, and its effect on the while of an egg was to turn it into leather. It had a similar effect on the albuminoids in milk, and milk so treated was very injurious to children.
The war will have added many new words, just as the Peninsular campaigns did, with their- “va jnoosh” and other such adaptations. The latest new arrival is “jusquaboutist,” formed from the French motto “Jusqu’ a bout”;—“to the end.” A jusquamoutist,” therefore, is a person who is for fighting the war out to a finish.
A hailstorm of exceptional severity recently struck Kumagaye, ffapan. Hailstones over an inch in diameter fell for 13 minutes, doing serious damage to the crops. It is reported that no such storm has been experienced in that pax*t of the country since the Kumagaye Observatory was established, twentynine years ago.
