Weighing Milk.

One of the matters that claim, or
should do so the attention that lies in his
power Of the owner Of factory, is to
use every precaution in the weighing
and giving credit for the milk. BY this
it is not implied that the factoryman is
more than usually needless, but in the
oft doing of thing like weighing milk,
one becomes far too self-confdent, and
mistakes occur. II caution is used
every time, it becomes check against
errors, and is in the direction OF
good friendship and understanding.
Some factorymen have their patrons
carry pass-book in which every weight
of milk Is entered the same as upon the
factory book. Where the patron does not
know the every weight Of his milk, and
guesses that his COWS give about so
much, he is thus provided with check
in expecting that the cows are giving
more than they actually are. II is
quite as important that the weights OF
themselves be correct, as that skill is
used in accurate figuring The scales
should be known to be accurate, and then
kept so BY standard" fifty-pound
iron block. When milk is sold the
patron only cares for the milk up to the
time that the Weights called, but in the
cooperative plan the weighing of the
milk is only the first Of the series Of
weighing, which only ends when the
churn is at last weighed upon the buy
ers' scales, and each weight is important
TO the dairyman at his warehouse. Good
weights, accuracy and continuous
Watching to guard against error and
mistakes is q caution the dairyman has
q right to expect Of the man who stands
behind the scales, and in asking it asks
for no more than is his right to expect
and lust due TO receive Cleveland

A Cat Story.

A lover OF cats relates the following:
"One day for some reason the dinner was
postponed, but the cat came in at the usual
hour She was evidently much discon.
certed at seeing nothing going on, walked
once or twice disconsolately round tho
table, then disappeared. Shortly after
ward she returned with mouse, which
she laid on her masters plate, then going
away, she came back second time with
a mouse, which she put on her own plate.
She postponed further proceedings until
her masters return, when she Immediately
began to purr and rub herself against his
legs, as much as TO say, "See how nicely
have provided for you" "Between this
town and the village of Hollywood there
is country house which happened to take
fire last week. The cat Of the house,
which had access to the servantmaid's s
apartments, ran up and paved the young
womau's face. Being very drowsy, the
girl turned to sleep afresh. The cat, how.
ever, after some In terval returned, and
proceeded to scratch the girls face to such
purpose that she awoke and, smelling the
fire, wakened the other members Of the
house, and the flames were extinguished.p

1.-THE AlCAlDE."
a Functionary of the Early West, and
School Teacher Who Emulnted Him.

Boston Star.1
The G rat A;oalde Of Nevada City was
elected by voting population of $50, but
in many camp ten or dozen inen chose
this peculiar nd all.power' d officer,
giving him al ne powers granted
under the Mexicau ! carly Spanish sys'
tom. He bacame th .uIge Of the village,
the petty lord of tie tc.t!gd town, and only
the voice OF the people could bring his
powers TO an end.
Brief though the reign of he Alcaldes
was, 1t left deep impress vlo1 society,
as story will illustrate. The writer
once knew a California school teacher,
man of mighty muscles and great energy,
who had spent his boyhood in placer
mining in Siskiou, in cattle raising on iAe
Eastern Oregon uplands, and in m.i n
fighting and wild prospecting tours aloAg
the frontiers of British Columbia. when
the war broke out he rode or Missouri,
crossed the lines, joined Virginia resi'
m,nt, and came bacl; SO crippled and bat'
tered that the old free, careless life was
impossible. Always great reader aud
close student, he turned to the school
room and won reputation over three
counties us a successful teacher. Under
these circumstance he was called to take
charge Of what was, with undoubted jus
t.ce, called the worst school in Northern
California. The trustee had written to
him at his cabin, porchod on pine-clad
hight Of the Sierra, trout streams within
stones throw, grouse in the woods, ana
dear and bear, his gun and rod, his MAR
Gus Aurelius" and "Noctcs Ambrosinna"
on the shelf within reach. He saddled his
horse, and, rising at day-break, reached
the village, once a mining camp, before
nine o'clock. When school was called To
order he found that efficient work de-
manded a reclassifca.ion, for the previous
teacher had tried to gain cheap favor by
advancing grades aud skipping the hard
places, and had come to grief by begging
large boy not TO smoke cigarette in
school. The playful lads ducked him in
the adjacent stream, sousing him up and
down till he escaped, waded to the farther
bank, and sought other pastures. But the
new teacher was of sterner material.
II shall have an examination to-day to
see where you belong, and must turn you
back in your grades If you deserve it," he
said.
A loud murmur of discomfort and almost
open rebellion followed. Nothing abashed,
the teacher made his first and last speech.
He took from the table a book and ad.
dressed an older pupil:
ado you know what this isp
"Yes, sir; the school law"
Sand it defines the grades, and you all
think you have passed the examinations,
and that 1 can't go behind the law"
ayes, SIR"
"Very welll Now you are quite mis-;
taken. am the Alcalde of this school, l
am Sheriff, and Register, and judge and
jury, and absolute finality here"
And with this revolutionary and com.
prehensive statement he threw the school
law out of the window, and proceeded,
amid an awe-stluck throng, to break up
and consolidate class after class, reorgan'
izing the school on his own system.

An Ancient Graveyard.

In Pawtucket, r. l., an ancient grave.
yard has been discovered while workmen
were making the excavation for cellar.
Seven bodies were found, each lying with
It's head TO the West, and in one Of the
graves were found two curious glass bot
ties, which had been deposited parallel
with the head Of the corpse, with the bulbs
of the bottles on the shoulders and the
necks OF the bottles were at the ears Of the
corpse; the face Of the corpse had been
covered with copper vessel In another
grave was found an odd-shapsd spoon, the
handle OF which was broken with the
shovel OF the workmen in excavating. In
another was found single bottle,
which was also broken in excayating. The
remains are not believed to be those Of In
dians; neither can they be those Of the
early colonists. Perhaps they are all that
is left Of the crew OF that Norsefand ex-
plorer whose record is left In Runic letters
