Milk Supply for Cities.

A correspondent of the New England
Farmer contributes very interesting
article ON the milk supply for cities,
wherein he describes the manner in
which London is furnished with milk,
and also makes some comparisons, not
at all favorable to the United States,
of the quality Of the milk furnished in
both countries. In England legislation
is not only directed against adultera-
ton, but also against indiscriminate
licensing, for license is necessary in
order to retail milk. When license is
applied for, the milk inspector makes q
thorough examination OF the drains,
water supply, and other sanitary arrange.
ments of the premises, and the result is
that one never sees the milk can in close
proximity to cabbage, cheese, fish, eto.
The correspondent says that nine-tenths
OF the stores licensed in the United
States would never be licensed in Lon
don. The police are also authorized to
take a sample for analysis from any
milk cart on the route. The officer fills
two bottles and seals them, one of
which he keeps, and returns the other.
If adulterated, the dealer is soon after
summoned to court. 1t would seem that
the distribution of the milk in a city Of
the size of London would involve great
deal of labor, but, according to the cor
respondent, a very simple system is in
vogue. AS an illustration. he describes
tho workings of the Aylesbuiy dairy
company, probably the largest dairy
company in the world. The company,
although not owning single COW,
every day distributes the yield Of oyel
5000 cows, from more than eighty
farms. The company contracts with
the farmer to deliver the milk twice Q
day at the depot nearest the farm, nc
two milkings to be mixed, certain
quantity to be sent every day, and fixe.
price for summer and winter. The ac
counts are settled weekly. Upon arriv
ing in London, sample Is taken to tn,
laboratory to be tested for adulteratioI
and richness, record of which is kept
Every six months the company offer
prizes to the amount of 5000, to be dis
tributed to the three farmers who's,
average record is the best.

He also startled them somewhat in

Hear what the unjust judge saith in
Hungary: Some timer ago man died
bankrupt, aud though he did not leave
his wife a single penny, be bequeathed
very large unpaid bill at local pub
Iic-house. His creditor did honor to
bis memory by bringing an action
against his widow for the payment of her
husbands drinking account. She prov
ed that she was absolutely penniless,
but the judge condemned her to pay the
bill with costs, on the ground that by
her evidently capricious and impractical
BILE temper she had driven her late hus-
band to the public-house, in order to
find there the comfort and peace which
were denied him at home.

Loo'i slca'i., at Il 5iislt object,
keep tl,e eyes ininOvallv On it for a
short time. aud then close them. An
image OF the O, icct remains; il becomes,
in fact, visible to the closed eyes. The
vividness and duration of such impress
sion vary considerably with different in
dividuals, and the power of retaining
them may be cultivated. Besides this
sort of retinal image thus impressed,
there is another kind of visual image
that may be obtained by an effort OF
memory. Certain adopts at mental
arithmetic use the "mind's eye" as o
substitute for slate and pencil by hold
ing in visual memory pictures Of the
figures upon which they are operating,
and those of their results. In my youth
full days was acquainted with an eccen-
trio old man, who then lived at Kill
burn Priory, where he surrounded him
self with curious old furniture reputed
to have originally belonged to Cardina
Wolsey, and which, as L was told, he
bequeathed to the queen at his death.
He was the then celebrated but now
forgotten "Memory Thompson" who
in his early days was town traveller
flor brewery, if remember rightly
and who trained himself to the perform
ance of wonderful feats of eye memory.
He could close his eyes and picture
within himself panorama of Oxford
street, and other parts of London, in
which picture every inscription over
every shop was so perfect and reliable
that he could describe and certify 10
the names and occupations of the shop
keeping inhabitants OF all the houses OF
these streets at certain dates, when
postofllce directories were not as they
now are. Although Memory Ihomp-
son is forgotten, his special faculty is
just now receiving some attention, and
it is proposed to specially cultivate it
in elementary schools by placing objects
before the pupils fox given tiuo, then
taking them away and requiring the
pupil to draw them. That such a
faculty exists and may be of great SER
vice is unriestionable. Systematic
efforts to educate it, if successful, will
do good service to the rising generation;
and, even should the proposed training
afford smaller results tl.an its projectors
anticipate, the experiments, if carefully
made and registered, cannot fail to i'm
prove our knowledge of mental ply
siology. - Gs,itleyann's Mm1fsiae.

Notes by the Way.


The backbone of Governor
Gapelon, of Maine, and the UNI
finished part of the Washington
monument are the great wonders
the American continent.
Our contemporaries in pub
fishing the proceedings of the
extraordinary session omit one
very important act Ito the legis-
lators), namely: They allowed
their per diem and-adjourned.
We are not going into costa
cies over the fact that Dan Rice,
the Snowman, has forsaken the
ways of the transgressor and ia
ken on the livery of heaven I'M
til he shows whom he will serve.
One by one we see old ideas
exploded. The announcement is
now made that soap is mentioned
in the Bible; our belief has been
that it originated in the express
sion "While there's life there's
soap"
In giving up Brother John
Bateman Smith to the people of
Giles county, commendatory
note will not be amiss. In the
language of Mark Twain, we
never knew him to take out a
cent when the contribution bas-
ket was passed.
Deacon Richard Smith, of the
Cincinnati Times, was taken in
by the police last week on the
charge of libel, and came near
finding Judgment in a ''donjon-
cell" This persecution of truly
good men makes us seriously
contemplate returning to our old
ways.
