To give some idea Of the gigantic
nature of the business so successfully
developed by this company, VIC may
state that they daily support some s.
600 families with milk, which is guar.

tanned from perfectly healthy resour-
ces. Upward Of $4,000 gallons Of
milk are dealt with every week. being
the produce of nearly fifty farms in
some of the best of dairy counties.
To carry on this enormous trade
the company have in addition TO
their town premises in s.. Petersburg
place, Bsyswater. large factory at
Swindon and dairy at Bourton,
where all the surplus milk is convert
into cheese. The company can take
into their Swindon factory 5000
gallons of milk daily, which they bold
as it were, in reserve. In the sum-
mer-time, when the fashionable world
is seeking recreation in garden par
ties, and when strawberries and
cream and other such like seasona-
BILE delieaeies are in request, then the
company are in position to meet any
sudden demand. They p ssess every
modern appliance suitable for the
dairy, and have the power of setting
1880 gallons of milk in 500 square
feet of milk psns-tbe product from
which in ten hours time would be a
large quantity of cream. The cream
is daily sent to London, aud after the
orders are executed the surplus IS
made into butter, the excellence Of
which is such that the demand ex-
ceeds the supply.

Sailing over Buried Nations

The whole channel Of the Mediter-
ranean must be strewed with human
bones. Csthagenians, Syrians,
Egyptians, Sidonisns, Persians,
Greeks and Romsns-there they lie,
side by side beneath the eternal wa
tiers; and the modern ship that brings
freight from Alexandria, sails in its
whole course over buried nations.
1t may be the corruption Of the dead
that now adds brightness TO the phos-
phoreseence Of the waves. All told
me in the East that superstition ex-
ists on this subject, which represents
the spirits Of the departed as hover
ing, whether on land or water, over
the spots where the ruins OF their
tabernaeles are found, so that IN
blowing the Mediterranean. we sail
through armies Of ghosts more multi
tudinous than the waves. These
patient spirits sometimes ride On The
foam, and at other times repose 10
those delicious little hollows which
look like excavated emeTalds between
the crests OF the waves. 1t Is their
union and thronging together, say
the 0rientals, that constitute The
phosphorescence ofthe sea for where
ever there is light, the billOws fash
With the lumincusness Of vanished
generations, that concentrate, as il
were, the starlight on their wings

In bis paper on Village Improve

narrow roadways. He says:
The great expense of Macadamiz-
ing or Telsordizing puts these sys-
tens out of the reach of small CON-
mnnities. Wherever the original ex-
pense can be borne, the subsequent
cost of maintenance will be so slight,
aud the result generally will be so
satisfactory as to make it always a
good investment. The circumstances
under which these forms of construc-
ton may be adopted will be greatly
extended if we can overcome the
prevalent American prejudice in IA
vor of wide roads. Against wide
streets there is as rule no objection.
though exceptional narrow and WE'LL
shaded lanes have Q rural charm that
will always commend them to per-
sons of taste. "A wide street, that
is, broad spaces between fences, by
10 means implies Q broad roadway.
All We need in the principal thorough
fare of q busy village is such width
as will allow of the easy passing of
vehicles in the middle of the road.
and the standing of one vehicle a.
rest at each side. This will be sc-
complished even in the business stree,
Of village by width of roadway
OF thirty feet. Under mos: other
circumstances twenty feet of road
way will be ample. This will allow
of the moving of three vehicles side
by side and viii give q leeway of
six feet between two vehicles passing
each other.
In the island of Jersey, there are
many excellent roads only six feet
wide. These are provided with fire.
quent little bays or turn-outs to al
low teams 70 pass each other. AL
though such extremely narrow roads
are not to be recommended, the diff.
ference in comfort and economy of
between these and the
average American dirt road ia enor-
mously in their favor. The widest
roads in Jersey, leading from . busy
town of thirty thousand inhabitants
into . thickly settled farming region,
where business and pleasure travel
Is very active, and where excursion
cars carrying thirty or forty persons
are constantly passing, are only
