The Milk Swindle.

The bill recently passed by the New
Jersey Legislature to suppress and
punish the sale Of skinned milk, is
i've provisions are stringent, but ex-
ceilent in scope, and will receive the
Endorsement of the public and all honest
dealers. II provides that every one
who shall offer for sale, transfer or carry,
or have in possession with intent TO
sell, milk from which the cream has
been removed, shall attach to each and
every can or other receptacle metal
stamp with the words " SKINNED milk"
engraved thereon. all who offer for
sale or have in their possession skinned
milk not so marked, or any adulterated
milk, are liable to penalty of $50 for
the first offanse and 800 for the second
offeDse and all subsequent offenses Of
the kind. In default of payment. the
law imposes the penalty Of imprison-
ment for not less than ten or more than
sixty days. Similar penalties are
further imposed upon persons who shall
keep milking cows in crowded or un-
healthy condition or feed them with
food which is calculated to produce
impure, diseased, OF unwholscme milk.
The law rigidly prohibits feeding the
animals upon the distiIlery waste usually
known as "swiil." or upon any sub
stance whatever which is in an m
wholesome condition or has an injurious
effect. So far rs the adulteration is
concerned, the new law is very COM
prehensive, and declares that in addi-
lion to that doctored with the common
adulterant, water, all milk shall be
a tssed az adulterated which is obtained
from animals fed on "swill," or other
dtleterious stuff, or that has been ex-
posed toor contaminated by the presence
of unhealthy surroundings, or in
proximity to persons or places infected
with con ,agious disease. In general,
all milk found upon analysis to contain
less than II per cent. of milk solids or
more than SO per cert. of watery fluids
Is classed as adulterated." For the
purpose of securing proper inspection
to suppress illegal traffic by milk
dealers, the law finally provides for tho
appointment of an Inspector at a salary
OF $500 per year. This official is en-
powered to open any receptatl ID he may
suspect to contain skinned" or i'm
pure milk for the purpose of analysis.
If this shall establish its impure charac-
ter, each can containing doctortd
fluid is to be emptied and the own r
prosecuted. Toinsnre the more thorous ii
enactment of the law, provision is also
made for the appointment of assistan 8
IL the Inspector at salary of SIS p r
day.

A Romance in Real Life.
MARRIAGE OF COUPLE AFTER FORTY
EIGHT YEARS OF SEPARATION.
The Butte on. IT, Mter-Momtai,

The Butte on. IT, Inter- Mountain
says:
The particulars of q case wherein
fiction is discounted have recently come
to light. A romance in real life, in
which the first act was played nearly
fifty years ago, has Just been brought
to happy termination by the union
forever OF two fond hearts, which
cruel fate had separated by distance
OF 400 miles for half century, lacking
two years. Forty eight years ago John
Saunders. one of the wealthiest cattle
kings OF Montana, who was then a poor
youth, with nothing to recommend him
but spotless reputation. brave heart
and q love for the beautiful and pure.
became enamored of Kentucky belle,
whose father was rich man. His ten
derness was 1eciproc lted, but the parent
of the Young lady refused his consent to
the marriage, and was inexorable.
Young Saunders was powerless to
change the old mans mind, and was too
honorable to press his suit in family
where his presence was unweicome. He,
therefore, sought an interview with the
girls parent, who for the last time told
him to abandon all hope of marriage as
far as his daughter was concerned, as
the difference in their social positions
was an insurmountable barrier
How much are you worth?" asked
the Young lover.
. cculd transfer my property into
million dollars cash, was the naughty
reply.
Very well, answered youpg Saun-
ders, to morrow morning [ leave for
the West to carve ont fortune, and
when | can size up to your million dol
lars will return and claim my bride, for
know she will be true"
TIE Young man kept his promise after
q long and painful interview with his
inamorata, aud with small outfitstruck
ont bravery for the Western Territories
Since that time forty-eight years have
elapsed, during which, with varying
success, he has dipped into numerous
enterprises from the British line to
Sonora. He came to Montana in early
days and embarked IN the cattle bust
ness with firm of Helena, with such
remarkable success that the firm now
own nearly 10000 head on the Teton.
About month ago, Saunders figured
up his assets, concluded he was worth a
million, ard Immediately left for Ken
lucky. He found the love of his young
days waiting for him, confident and
hopeful of his final arrival. The t. NO
were married with as little ceremony rs
possible. and expect to be sufficiently
happy for the remainder OF their lives
TO compensate them for long years OF
hope deferred and separation.

SNOW WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND. SATURDAY, MAY

Stephen. We were treated very much
like two children who had been forgiven,
and whose fault was not to be thrown
up to them.
That was the way the men took it,
and Norman pretended to be satisfied.
The women acted with great deal more
intelligence. They all came to see me,
and though l did not give them all credit
Tor the very kindest of motives, made
them all welcome. told them about
my wedding trip, and showed them my
new things, and / dare say the men
talked everything over with them after
ward.
But what most puzzled everybody
was that Stephen Barker came so often
to see us. and was SO friendly with Nor
man. Some thought it very mean
spirited in him, and others remembered
that when he was very young he had
loved my mother dearly. Even those
who spoke kindly of him did not give
him credit for half the noble unselfsh-
ness he had shown; for he would not
let me tell any one that it was he him
self who had planned every thing about
my property and my wedding.
Just let them say you Tilted me,
Frances, if they please to do so. We
know better, and we will keep our secret
until Uncle Miles comes round"
Aunt and uncle both came round
sooner than we expected. When it was
known that Stephen spent SO much of
his time with us, Aunt Miles considered
the advantages of havi g her daughters
brought familiarity in contact with him,
and for their sakes she came to see me
and give me the kiss of reconciliation
But as far as catching Stephens heart
Gin the II bound" was concerned, she
was just little too late. Norman's sig
ter, who was a teacher in one of the
public schools of New York, came TO
spend her vacation with us, and Stephen
fell in love with her in n way which
convinced me that his love for Frances
| Halliday had only been the shadow of
the love he had for her mother. Why,
Norman himself never behaved more
foolishly about me than Stephen ABOUT
this little PLAN Ruth Strong for she is
piain-every one must allow that.
And the preparations that are going
on for the marriage quite amuse ne,
who might have been the bankers wife
myself Dear me think Love must
often laugh at the kind of people he
comes in contact with. But l hope
Stephen will be happy l do, indeed.
That is Ill l have to say about my
marriage. think it was rather pecu-
liar. Some women will doubtless say
they don't believe such men as Stephen
exist. But let a girl when she discovers
she does not like man, tell him so, and
ask his advice and help, aud ten TO one
she will fed another Stephen How
can men be chivalrous and self-denyipg
if women don't give them opportunl-
ties? think that is wrong, and I in
tend always TO give Norman every
chance to cultivate such noble qualities.
