Counterfeit Milk.

A dairyman called at the Office of DIR.
]. Z. Sullivan, City Milk Inspector,
yesterday, and informed him that
certain individual was going about among
the dairymen offering to sell a recipe or
prescription by which good article of
milk could be made artifcially by the
use of various drugs chemicals, etc. DIR.
Sullivan says that the idea of making
milk in this way is not q new one, as
several prescriptions for the purpose
have been known to chemists for years,
but none have been able to produce an
article that could not be readily detected
as bogus milk, even by amateur milk
drinkers. So far as known, the enter
prising inventor has not been able to
make q sale to any st. Louis dairyman,
and it is evident that some of them
know too well how to produce AN inferior
article of milk without patronizing any
inventor in that line. DIR. Sullivan
states that the milk supply is rather
short now on account of the protracted
cold weather and the high price of feed.
On occasions of short supply the
dairymen resort to water and coloring tc
keep up the quantity for their trade, and
the quality of the milk is running quite
low. One Of the worst features the Milk
Inspector has to contend with is that OF
colored milk. "The people" says DIR.
Sullivan, "are in some measure re-
sponsible for this, as they demand milk
Of rich yellow color. This color is
naturally produced only by grass, and
as no cows feed upon grass ut this season
of the year its absence is oxcusable, but
the dairyman in order to please his GUS
toners colors the milk to suit their
tastes. When vegetable coloring is
used the effect is not injurious, but some
of the dairymen use diamond dyes and
other substances which are injurious"

FEAR OF A COAL FAMINE.

British Manufacturers Will Shut Down
Should the Miners Strike.
In view of the threatened coal strike and
coal famine that must surely follow, most
OF the factories In Lancashire. Cheshire,
Durham, Tyneside and other important
manufacturing districts In England are
seriously considering the question of shut
ting down until the trouble is over The
operatives In these factories have been
given the customary notice. and are great
ly alarmed. 1t is computed that already a
million and half OF people are directly or
indirectly affected by the mining troubles,
and 1t is believed that II the output of coal
should be restricted for fortnight as pro-
posed there would be 100000 idle mill OPP
eratives.

Metallic Ties.

That the wooden railroad tie must
sooner or later give place to metallic
substitute has long been admitted by
engineers, and lately we are begin
ming to see that the coming change
in this respect cannot be much
longer delayed. Experiments made
within a year or two on number OF
leading roads suffice already to show
that there is a superior economy In
metal, and but for the fact of its
larger first cost it would likely dis
place wood very rapidly. 1t will do
so gradually in spite of this, as with
many railway companies the initial
cost is Of less Importance than the
ultimate economy, which is sufficient
" in favor of the metallic tie to de-
termine the question Of its use. The
result of this must be a slow decline
in what is now a fiourishing and
profitable branch of the lumber busi-
ness, but the fact will not occasion
widespread regret in the trade. The
traffic in ties draws heavily upon the
supply of young, partly grown timber,
not yet ripe for the saw mill, that 1t
would be good discretion to refrain
from cuttingNand any change in con-
sumptive requirements that would
permit such trees to attain maturity
will prolong the duration OF the tim
Der supply and work for the best in
terest of the lumber trade. We cam
NOT help thinking that lumber men
should do all they can to help
forward the change from wood to
metallic ties, in the interest of the
preservation of their own business.

Patriotic Words from a Patriotic
Man.

When Grover Cleveland was in :
formed OF his nomination by the
Chicago Convention, he replied in
the following patriotic words :
al am profoundly touched by this
new proof OF confidence and trust
of the great Democratic party to
which ] belong. l feel confident
that our fellow countrymen are
ready to receive with their heartiest
approval the principles advocated
by true Democracy. Differences
of opinion are bound to exist in
Democratic as we'll as other con-
v(ntions and are by no means un-
wholesome indications, but 1t is
hardly conceivable in view of the
importance Of our success to the
country and the Democratic party
that there should be any lack OF
harmony among Democrats. have
therefore no concern whatever on
that point and shall endeavor to
merit the support OF every Demo
crat."
The nomination OF Cleveland
was the most popular one that could
have possibly been made. 1t has
permeated every part Of the body
polite, and his election is fore

was ever received with such enthu-
slasm by any party.
