THE MILKMAN's MATHEMATIcs.-When
Thomas drove up to the house on Elizabeth
street yesterday to deliver the usual quart of
mixture, the gentleman of the house kindly
inquired
Thomas, how many quarts of milk do
you deliverT
"Ninety one"
"And how many cows have your"
"Nine, sir"
The gentleman made some remarks about
the early spring, close of the eastern war
and the state Of the roads, and then asked
Say, Thomas, how much milk per day do
your cows ayerage2'
"Seven quarts, sir"
"Ah-um,' said the gentleman, as he
moved off. Thomas looked after him,
scratched his head, and at once grew pale
as he pulled out short pencil and began To
figure on the wagon cover.

st. Julien's Wonderful Performances.

WHEN horses trot as fast as St. Julien
or Maud S., they need to be up to con.
cert pitch to do their level best, and
when in the slightest degree off, their
supreme efforts are impossible. In view
of the fact that St. Julien has been suf-
fering with the epidemic for several
weeks, his recent trials, especially his
2:12 "a at Prospect Park, are very note
worthy and creditable. Before he made
that effort, those who visited him in his
stall, and saw the epizootic fluid fairly
streaming from his nostrils, did not ex-
pect from him a mile better than 2 :15,
and his driver conceded in that view.
He would not run the risk of urging SO
sick horse, and yet he trotted in 2:12
81, absolutely on his courage! 1t was
tremendous performance. Since he
left California he has travelled over 10,-
900 miles in railroad cars, has under
gone numerous changes of climate, yet
never has he failed to give a fine exhi-
bition of speed, and never has he made
a break. A brief summary of his brilli-
ant compaign will be interesting: June
10, against time, at Detroit, best time
2:17 IA; June "a, against time, at
Ionia, Mich, best time 2:1S 1-2; July
8, against time, at Detroit, best time,
2:16 IA; July %, at Chicago, free for
all, best time 2 :16 1-2; July 20, at Cleve.
land, free for all, best time 2: Is 81;
Aug. 8, at Buffalo, free for all, best time,
2:l5 IA Aug. ~, at Rochester, against
time, 2:11 "a Aug. 10, at Springfield,
free for all, best time, 2:15; Aug. q, at
Hartford, against time, 2:11 IA; Sept.
II, at Minneapolis, against time, 2:13;
Sept.25, at Boston, against time, :13 IL;
Oct. 8, at Washington, against time,2:1a
Ia; Oct. Is, at Prospect Park, against
time, 2:12 "a. This far surpasses any
trotting campaign ever made by another
horse, and speaks no less for the aston
ishing speed of St. Julien, than for his
splendid constitution and indomitable
courage. The Clay blood does not seem
to make him quit. He will soon be
shipped to California, and in that genial
CLINE may astonish the trotting commu-
nifty again before the year Closes

A Fine Old Legend.

The poet, Longfel!ow. puts into
exquisite verse a medieval legend Of
fine significance. At the hour of
noon it was customary in the old
monastery for the neighboring poor
to receive aims at the gate from the
monks, who took the service in sue.
