to us and published in our issue of the LIST inst.

GENEROUS MILKMEN.-Our attention has been
directed to the fact that some of the drivers of milk
carts not infrequently donate a drink of milk to ma

covers of the milk cans, from which the recipient
drinks, after which the cover is clapped on and the
cart again joys along. This practice cannot be a
very agreeable one for customers to think on, espe-
cially while syphilis and leprosy are not uncommon
