Pure Milk.

The difficulties to be surmounted 10
enable one to furnish city customers
with pure, rich, sweet and healthy milk
are much more numerous than is gen
orally supposed Many have an idea
that if milk fresh from the COW can be
delivered at the door of the customer
untampered with. it must be good when
it reaches the table; but unless all of the
conditions are right it may he entirely
unsatisfactory.
To have good milk it is necessary to
have good COWS; not those that give the
largest quantity of milk, but those that
give n fair quantity of milk that is not
much better than skim milk may be
eagerly sought for by the producer, but
her milk will never give satisfaction To
the consumer, and will always be looked
upon with suspicion. But one may
possess the very best herd of COWS i'll the
country, and yet so treat them that
their milk will be poor. Unless cows
are fed with good, sweet, nutritious food
it would be folly to suppose that their
milk will be good, and the best cows
will still furnish milk of an undesirable
quality unless great care is taken to
keep them perfectly clean, and also
particular attention paid to the keeping
of the barn clean and free from ohiec-
tiopable odors, and of vessels sweet and
clean; for there are but few, if any,
liquids that will absorb bad odors
so readily as milk, This is well under
stood by those who make the giltedge
butter, and no pains or expense is
spared by them to keep everything
about the barn and dairy perfectly
sweet and clean.
Having surmounted Ill the difficulties
III the way of producing good milk,
there are yet other difficulties to be re-
moved before it reaches the table of
the consumer. A considerable portion
of the milk consumed in the cities
passes through the hands of the mid
dle-men, who, whether honest or not,
have somehow got into bad repute, and
are looked upon both by the producer
and consumer with suspicion; so the
farmer, feeling assured that his milk is
to be watered, is not always us careful
to turn all the water out of the cans be-
fore he fills them with milk as he
would be if he felt positive that it
would reach the consumer without be-
ing reduced; and occasionally u servant
knowing that her mistress believes the
milk is patered, satisfies her thirst with
the fresh milk and makes up the defic-
iency with Massachusetts Plough
man.

An Uupronounceable Prima Donna.
New York Express

When Jenny Lind was making flu
rore in New York, there had Just been
born in Polish family in this city II
tiny mite of a girl ON whom her music
loving parents conferred the name of
Jenny Lind Jcrzvkiewicz. A few years
afterwards the childs voice gave prom
ise OF great power and sweetness, like
the voice of her illustrious nam esake ut
the same age. Miss Jerzkiewicz was
sent to Germany, where she studied for
eight years At Dresden, under the dis
tinguished direction of Professor
Thiele. She also studied operate parts
under Professor kranz. Her debut was
lately made i'll Dresden with such signal
success that the Dresden 4n.eiger SAYS:
Her method is perfect, her tones are
pure, and her prospects are the highest
and best. Several other German
Journals speak in equally high praise of
this new candidate for musical fame,
but none Of them mention that she is
by birth an Americana New Yorker
n rosebud on our own bush. But the
young American has returned to her
native country fora visit, and she is
now the guest Of IA family in Illinois,
who live on farm as large as an ancient
German principality Over twenty diff
ferent kinds of songbirds have built their
nests this spring in the trees and shrub
berry Of this farm, and the new prima
donna walks among them like Landor's
siren, singing song At the close of
the summer, when these green-groye
concerts are over, she will go to Italy
for two years of further and final study.
Meanwhile her friends believed that she
will prove, not only inname, but in fact,
n second Jenny Lind.

Population Of Africa.
Exchange.

People who have forgotten their
school statistics may be surprised to
hear that the population Of Africa is
much greater than that Of North and
South America We are apt to think
of Africa as mostly desert and wilder
ness, with here and there II few tribes of
Arabs or villages of negroes. Beyond
the borderland with which civilation is
familiar, it is natural to think of the in
habitants of Africa rs few and far be-
tween, like our Indians. As II matter
of fact Africa is much more thickly in
hahitcd than America. Authorities
which set the population Of the latter
Mt 81, $4,000 give the former DOB 300
900. I'm the Soudan the population is
rated nj S0,0O0,000. one town on the
Niger containing 10000 inhabitants,
East Africa is rated mt 30,O0O,0OO and
equatorial Africa 1T 40N0,OoO souls.
1t is estimated that the members Of the
negro race number 130o00,OO0 which
fact shows that ii is II vigorous stock,
which has tlourished strongly even in
its barbarism Many Of the tribes, I
says our authority, ARE above the con
dition of Nvagcs They have fixed
habitations, though merely mud-huts,
defended by stockades, and have some
laws or customs favorable to commerce,
Among several tribes the native mer-
chant is greatly esteemed, and property
is safe even during war The land is
cultivated; the inhabitants wear dyed
cotton clothes; gold and iron are in
gcniously manufactured and II certain
kind Of intelligence seems 80 be slowly
surrounding.

TakIme Him at E5,s xor,,

The inhabitants of the north of
England are 4 matter-of-fact people.
The following incident illustrates
their shrewdness and ready resource.
In village of ono of the dales lived
a kindheaIted but somewhat hot
headed woman who entertained the
minister when he came to preach
there. On the occasion of the first
visit of one of this fraternity, she
deemed it necessary to ascertain his
preference for tea or coffee for
breakfast; so, as she was going on
with the preparation of the meal,
she went to the staircase and called
out the name Of her guest. But no
answer was vouchsafe her call.
WonderiHgly, she waited awhile,
and then repeating her call, she was
answered by, ''what do you want?"
in anything but gentle tone of
voice.
81 want to know whether you'll
have tea or coffee to your breakfast"
"I'lI have either, or both" was the
odd and singing reply.
You've got out on the wrong
side o. the bed ia MORN" said the
irritated dame to herself, ''but I'll
fit up yer order, my man. so saying,
she went to the cupboard, took
thence another teapot, and putting
therein equal quantities of tea and
coffee, she made strong decotion
thereof for the preacher. Presently,
he felt that he had a strangely
favored beverage before him, SO,
pausing, he asked, Whats this,
Missis? %
Its both, sir; and you sail either
sup it or gang without."a

A gentleman is always courteous,
modest, and truthful. He is slow to
take offense. as being one who never
gives it. He is slow to surmise evil,
as being one who never thinks it.
He subjects his appetites, refines his
tastes, subdues his feelings, and con-
trols his speech. He deems every
other better than himself.
A young man, when he first enters
society, should think much, observe
accurately, and say little. He will
thus learn far more than if he were
forward and talkative; and when he
does express his opinions, they will
have their due weight. 1t is, how
ever, probable that a few years will
show him the fallacy of nearly all
his first conclusions.
The Phoenix herald., 1880-10-22

The greatest man is he who closes
tue right with invIncible resolution;
who resists the sorest temptations
from within and without; who bears
the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who
is calmest and most fearless under
menaces and frowns; whose reliance
on truth, on virtue, on God, is most
unfaltering.
He who waits to do great things,
and despises little things, will nevt.
accom- lish. anything. Life is ma. e
up of little things, and not of great
exploits. Little kindness oft repeat
ed, fragments of time improved,
small savings accumulated, bits of
knowledge added together-these
make the great things of life, as the
atoms make the mountains.
1t is not what we read, but what
we remember, that makes us learned
1t is not what we earn, but what we
save, that makes US rich. 1t is not
what we intend, but what we do, that
makes Us useful. 1t is not few faint
wishes, but lifelong struggle, that
makes US successful.
A perfect gentleman is one who
has complete command over all his
faculties, and who always exercises
them in a beneficent manner This
involves q complete education, the
utmost goodness of heart and refine
ment of manner, superlative tact and
unwaverlng self-pessession.
Good breeding is the result of good
sense, good nature, correct training,
and little self-denial for the sake Of
others. Etiquette is the knowledge
and practice of the laws of society;
but true politeness must come from
the heart, from an unselfish desire to
please others and to contribute to
their happiness.
When people talk of themselves,
and of theiI own achievements, lend
both your ears, for they are sure to
expose their weak points. In this
way youcan learn human nature, and
observe defects in others which you
may prevent in yourself.
