How bout man playing the role of

How bout man playing the role of
woman?"
"If he receives fifty written acknowl-
elgements for doing so. l think he can
be excused" was Sophie's quick rejoin
der.
The correspondence between the
Tennessee girl and the Chicago matri-
moniai advertiser actively continues,
but it has assumed a very different form
from that with which it commenced.
The mail is no longer received and de-
posted at Hollisvil!e, and. instead of
selfish recommendations beirg the alb
sorbine topic, each party now makes it
point in their letters to dwell on the
merits of the other party. That, of
course. makes the correspondence mutu-
ally more intestiug.
But there are two ub;ects on Which
Sophie and her strangely found lover
cannot be led to agree. One is that it
is not altogether such q bad thing for
people to make their matrimonial wants
known through the columns Of news
paper. and the other is that younger
brothers are blessing, not plague. -

New YOrk's Milk supply.

In round numbers it is estimated that
52O, 600, 600 quarts are used IN New York
aud brooklyn III year. The value is
estimated at upwards of $4,000, 900.
The people Of New York City are eN
ceptionallv fond of milk as beverage.
The New York San estimates that they
drink 800, 900 glasses day. To supply
the whole demand from the city about
300. 900 cows are required. One great
restaurant on Washington street uses
1000 quarts OF milk day III winter and
2,400 in summer, besides 300 quarts of
cream daily the year round. \ large
hotel in New York uses 700 quarts a
day in summer and $50 quarts day in
winter.
The supply of milk for New York
City extends all the way from ten miles
to 200 miles from the city, and many
parcels of milk are brought in five, ten
and even twenty miles from the nearest
railway station. New York milk is SUP
piled in fortyGuart cans, which the milk
trains bring to the city, and from which
the milkman delivers the milk to the
consumers i'll the city. At the great
receiving stations on the railroads when
the milk is brought into the depot it is
tested with instruments made for the
purpose, to see what percentage of it is
cream, and to detect any water adultera-
tion. As soon as it is tested and cooled
aud canned it is loaded into milk car,
which stands on a siding. and prepared
for its Journey to New York.
Not all Of the milk which is brought
into New York City come, in cans, how
ever. i great deal of it is put in glass
( bottles. The people are beginning to
find out that they do not run so much
risk in buying in bottles, and they are
willing to pay the extra cent or two
which is charged on each quart. In
fact, bottled milk is becoming popular.
The bottle, are filled by machinery,
I which will fill / 500 bottles in an hour.
AS soon as they have been filled they
are packed in cases, and the cases are
! buried under ice. in the same car with
+ the big cans.
! 1t is said that the average consump-
/ tion of milk in New York City is about
one quart to the ordinary family. OF
| course there are many two and four
quart customers. They are generally
+ families the members Of which have a
! fondness for drinking milk.
The milk train generally arrives in
) New York City ct about midnight,
! loaded with the preceding DAYS milk,
and meets long line of wagons, drawn
! up awaiting its coming. As soon as the
train reaches the city, the drivers of the
various teams jostie and crowd each
other for their milk. From midnight
until three or four o'clock there is a
! great hustle in progress, and as the milk
is delivered the wagons rattle through
the quiet streets of the city again, bound
for the headauarters of the various big
milk companies. There the milk is
divided among scores of light wagons,
for city delivery. 'UIttra-

Tho st r Route subs sIy.

The history of the mail route con-

mails, especially the famous star routes
Of twenty Years or so ago, has been a
very interesting one. 1t is Il history
that the Republican party does not like
to read or hear about, bus one that the
people should keep in memory.
During those times of overwhelming
Republican asccndcnry, there was per

had n large amount o, whitcwah in
