Rurinr Cream In n City.

"I amt to blame for it, mum, assure
you | ain't," said Columbus avenue
dairyman.
One of his customers had called to pro-
test that it wasn't right for him to send
her milk when she ordered and paid for
cream.
"Look here" she had said, II pay you
eight cents for half pint of cream every
morning, and | don't get cream at all.
Really am paying you thirty-two cents a
quart for milk. Is that nice way to treat
customers"
1t was with reference to this complaint
that the dairyman pleaded that he was not
to blame.
"Then who is to blame3" demanded the
customer. "If it isn't you, who is it2 Is
it the man you buy OFF"
mo, not exactly: but it's the men that
deliver. They are the ones. buy cream,
and the people that l buy from send out
cream; but 'twixt their place of business
and mine the specific gravity of the cream
is wonderfully altered. It's the drivers
that do it, and they do it for their own
profit. They double the quantity of cream
by diluting it with milk.
"They keep me in hot water all the time.
Every day some customer comes in with a
complaint and all can do is to talk to the
drivers and beg them to deal fairly with
me. This very morning / was at one OF
them. For PHYS sake said, don't make
me lose all my customers. If you want
ten cents at any time call on me and I'll
give it to you in cash, but don't break my
business up by diluting my cream"
The customer came away almost regret
ting that she had made a complaint.
Really" she said, "he's as much to be
pitied as I am. I'll keep on with him for
little longer. New York Times.

A Piece of Glass in Her Larynx.

A lady, while eatinga piece of pie, fell
into terrible fit of coughing. A physi-
clan could find no cause for the trouble,
and thought that whatever foreign sub
stance had produced it had been swal-
lowed; but the patient insisted that
there was still some obstruction which
not only choked her, but impaired her
power of speech. For six weeks she re-
mained nearly speechless and under con-
slant treatment. After that time she
slightly improved in health and voice,
but without permanent relief.
At length, nearly two years after the
accident, DR.. Ransom, of New York.
was consulted and removed a piece OF
glass from the larynx, hanging between
the vocal cords. 1t was triangular in
shape and measured on its three edges
seven-eighths of an inch, one inch and
IL inches respectively
The woman's voice at once improved,
and the irritation mainly disappeared,
though a slight swelling remained.
Thus the permanent results were exceed.
ingly slight, though so big fragment
of glass had remained in the larynx fol
a year and nine months. Youths Com.

Some of my sex have become, l am sorry

soft hearted to resist the wistful eyes and
pitiful stereotyped smile of those who have

Pants are made for men and no.
men for pants. Women are made for
men. not for pants. When man pant
for women aud women pants for ma n A.,
they are a pair Of pants; such pants
don't last. Pants are like molasses;
they are thinner In hot weather and
thicker in cold. The man in the moon
changes his pants during the eclipse.
Don't go to the pantry for pants;you
may be mistaken. Men are often mis-
taken in pants. Such mistakes make
breeches of promises. There has been
much discussion as to whether pants
is singular or plural. Seems TO me
that when men wear pants they are
plural and when they don't wear any
1t is singular. Men get on a tear In
their pants and it is all right but when
their pants get on a tear it is all wrong.

The alleged power of camphor to awaken
seeds or stimulate their termination has
been shown by the experiments of M.
Henry de Varigny to have no real exist
ence. Various kinds of seeds were sown
in sand saturated with water containing
camphor, as advised by horticulturists,
and the termination of all was slower, in
stead of more rapid, than that of similar
seeds in water without camphor. Germi-
