Counterfeit Milk.

A dairyman called at the Office of DIR.
j. Z. Sullivan, City Milk Inspector,
yesterday, and informed him that a
certain individual was going about among
the dairymen offering to sell a recipe or
prescription by which good article of
milk could be made artificially by the
use Of various drugs chemicals, etc. DIR.
Sullivan says that the idea of making
milk in this way is not u 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 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. DR.. 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 a short supply the
dairymen resort TO water and coloring to
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 DR..
Sullivan, "are in some measure re-
sponsibie 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 at this season
of the year its absence is excusable, but
the dairyman in order to please his Gus
toners colors the milk to suit theiI
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.

AFLOAT.

Ere the race of the spring was run,
Or violets began to die,
Meath the kiss of the golden sun
And the smile of the azure sky,
There was nevs: the sound of sigh
As our boat pushed off the sand,
In the heart of tho day.
When we sailed away
Away to a fair, far land:
We sailed through the mid day heat
Aud the long, still afternoons; w
Strange voices, siren sweet,
Crooned over a low, weird tune,
ISu the rise OF the crescent moon,
By the breezes our bark was famed;
And the starlight's gleam
ee1ned a fitful dream
As We sailed to that fair, far land.
And still We are sailing on,
Though the skies are no longer fair,
Though summer is past and gone,
And chill is the autumn air.
We are sailing we know not where;
But. led by an unseen hand,
We shall rest one day
In the twilight's gray,
On the shores of that fair, far land.

The Grizzly Will Run.

The average grizzly, says Mr..
Roosevelt in the New York Sun, has but
one idea when he sees man, and that
is to get away; it will run as quickly as
q rabbit. Even when wounded a great
many bears absolutely refuse to fight,
seeking refuge only in flight. Never
theless, there are plenty of grizzlies that
will fight when cornered, and there are
u very few which will take the offensive
themselves without any particular pro-
vocation.
Personally | have never been charged
but once, and this was by grizzly
which | had twice wounded and had
approached to within forty yards of,
late one evening when | had strolled
away from camp more with the hope of
knocking off the head of a grouse than
with the expectation of seeing any larger
game. This bear came at me most
resolutely, although one of my shots
nicked the point of his heart and
although one of four bullets which | put
into him would have ultimately proved
mortal.
All of the other bears | have killed
started to run, or fell at the first fire, so
that they had no chance of showing
fight. 1t is, however, very unsafe for
a man to generalize in any kind OF
shooting, and particularly in bear shoot
ing, merely from his own experience
Thus, know one gentleman, an officer
of the United States army, who has
killed six grizzlies, three of them
charging him before they were wounded
or even fired at The incidents of the
three charges were curiously alike; that
is, he stumbled on the bear in each case
at tolerably close quarters, at from ten
to twenty yards away from him, and
each time the instant the animal saw
him it galloped toward him like loco
motive, only to be rolled over by q
well-placed rifle ball.
The grizzly is very tenacious of life,
and SO great are his vitality and
pugnacity that a fighting bear will con
tinue charging when its body is fairly
riddled with bullets. A shot in the
brain or spine will of course bring one
down in its tracks, but even bullet
through the heart will not prevent an
enraged grizzly from making good its
charge at close quarters.

A Beautiful Island Plantation.

Joseph Jefferson's plantation in New
Iberia, Louisiana, where Mr.. Cleveland
recently passed brief outing, is, from
all accounts, one of the most charming
winter homes in the South. The planta-
ton lies on an island, where ten thousand
orange-trees grow, and where the air is
scented with the fragrance of every
variety of tropical flower, while wild
fowl abound and the waters are alive
with fish. The residence is an old manor
house remodelled in the style of an Ital-
ian villa and furnished in great luxury.
1t commands superb view from the hill
on which it is situated, over the shining
lake below and the broad expanse of the
Gulf beyond. Harpers Weekly.

"AccOrding to Gunter.o

The phrase According to Gunter" re-
mains in our language as a perpetual
memory of Gunter, the English mathe-
matcian, who was born in 1881 and died
in 1926. Almost to the present time the
works of Gunter were considered stan
dard. He was the inventor of the sur
veyor's chain; of the logarithmic line;
of the quadrant; of the scale bearing his
name, and anything in mathematics to
be right must be according to Gunter. t"

The tombstone literature of the
world is sometimes amusing reading.
In little country churchyard, not
far from New York, is tombstone
erected over girl who died at the
age of 10. 1t bears the inscription:
Educated to be wife" Fancy the
curriculum of the educational institu-
tion she attended! Ia a Baltimore
cemetery is lot with three graves.
The stone at the right has an inscrip-
tlon testifyfng to the fact that wo-
man lies beneath and hand sculp-
tured below the inscription points to
ohe center grave with the significant
sentence: "He was mine" The
grave at the left likewise has an in
scription testifying to the fact that a
woman lies there, and here again ls
carved had pointing to the center
grave with the legend: ''He was
mine also." In the middle grave is
buried the husband of the these two
women and on his tombstone are
carved two hands Joined at the wrist,
one pointing to the right and the
other to the left. Then there is the
inscription: "They were both Mines
Every one who has visited Holly
wood Cemetery in Richmond, Va,
will remember the burial lot of GER
tain gentleman who laid away decor
ously and tearfully in this grassy plot
three wives. The tombstone erected
over this trio of unhappy women are
exactly alike, and on each one is
sculptured beautiful hand pointing
upward, delicate method of signify
ing that the souls of these women are
now soaring in realms of heavenly
bliss.
1t Is related that the husband Of
these wives. upon recovering from his
third bereavement, paid court to Miss
Matte Ould, who was the belle of
Richmond, and who, although dead
many years, is still quoted by Vir-
ginians as the wittiest, most fascinat-
ing, and delightful of all the charm
| ing women who have claimed the Old
Dominion as their birthplace. Upon
one occasion Miss Ould accompanied
this gentleman to the cemetery, and
standing beside these monuments she
said positively: ''If | ever should
marry you, Mr.. Steele, and l should
die before you, would you mind
having the hand on my tombstone
point down? Just by way of variety,
you know. New York Recorder.
