TO KEEP MILK SWEET IN HOT WEATHER.


The milk dairymsn Is often at hia
Wits end to prevent souring OF the milk
in the hot season, when the moisture in
the air causes the heat to become more
than usually intolerable. To keep the
milk sweet then, every precaution must
be taken. It is not serious adultera-
tion to add a small quantity of carbonate
of soda, or potash, to the milk, to neu.
tralize the slightly acid change produced
in the milk by the heat and bacteria, and
the small quantity required has no ap-
preclable effect on the milk. The car
Donate of soda in the milk is changed
into lactate, and the carbonic acid is
given off, while the Tactic acid is neu.
tralized, and the milk is kept from sour
ing. Dissolving an ounce of tie soda in
some of the milk and then mixing the
solution through forty-gallons canful,
may save the whole from loss during
times of excessive heat.-American Ag-
rlculturist.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

In Mendocino County, Wis, there is a
numbering village of HOO population, and
there are thirteen saloons. The pay ro!l Of
the mill company amounts to $4,000 mouth.
And of tnis sum it is estimated that $500,
or more than one-half is spent at the sa-
looms. On the other hand, at another I'll.
lage few miles distant, the pay roll is
$1,000 u month, and not a cent of 1t is known
to 20 for liquor. The mill company owl
the town site and allow no saloons. The re.
sponsibility of corporations and companies
for safe guarding as much as possible the
men in their employ. though obvious
enough, is too little regarded.

THE WATER DRINKERS DAY.

In the old days total abstainers were
scoffed at and we almost had to apologies
for drinking water; now we find constantly
people murmuring something like an apology
for drinking wine in our presence. The

when we are beginning to be disheartened

What Know About Hardware and
City Finances.

Good credit is a valuable asset for
an individual or firm, but strange and
anomalous as it may appear, for city
it is misfortune. A city, like fam
lily, has many real and imaginary
wants right from the start, both fami-
lies and cities grow, but the expense
of the latter usually grows faster than
the income. School houses, hospitals,
city halls, sewers, paved streets etc
follow each other in rapid succession.
Whatever a city buys or builds, gene
rally costs more than private people

chises seldom bring the city anything.

an AVERAGE MAN

A realistic story
without any gush or glory.
With no sentimental iimelight
And no flrework display.
Bout poor old ignoramus
Who was never rich nor famous,
And VINO couldn't ignite the river.
And who worked out by the day.
A very common fellow
Was this Ebenezer Weller.
With the usual share of virtues,
And with vices two or three;
He'd no fatal gift of beauty.
But an average sense of duty,
Neither very good nor evil
Just about like you and me.
And he wed an average woman,
Very nice and very human.
Just about like Ebenezer.
Neither very good nor bad;
OFT In harmony they'd warble.
Often they would scold and squabble,
But they loved each other dearly,
And they couldn't continue mad.
Never had enough on Monday
To supply the house till Sunday,
Never made enough In April
To support themselves in May;
II they worked hard In November,
They must work hard In December,
And the coarse bread Of tomorrow
Was the hard work Of today.
They worked on, grew gray and grayer,
Yet they never made him mayor,
And she plucked no social honors,
And his wages still were small.
Then the load Of years grew weighty,
And they died when they were eighty,
And they put them in the graveyard,
And they left them there. That's all
A realistic story
Without any gush or glory
Yet this fellow Ebenezer
Represents the human clan;
His the average share OF pleasure,
His the average lack OF leisure,
His the average JOY and sorrow
OF the common average man.

Aspirant.

Hon. d. w. Marmaduke, late war.
den of the penitentiary, and one Of
Missourl's noblest sons, was at the
union dedot this morning, and was
seen by representative of the BAzoo.
The gentleman has been an aspirant
for gubernatorial honors at the hands
of the democratic state convention.
He has, however, concluded to with
draw from the race, his reasons being
substantially as follows:
"When l announced my candi-
dscy for the democratic nomination
for governor. confidently expected
the support of Saline county, and
while aware that another fellow
citizen was an aspirsnt for a position
on the state ticket, 1 presumed
that a delegation favorable to both of
our interests would be selected to 60
the state convention. By the action
of the several townships on Saturday
last | infer it is not the desire of the
majority of this county convention to
extend to me that support essential
from candidates own county, and l
therefore requested. that in making up
their delegation that my candidacy be
not considered, and l withdrew from
sny further contest in the state for the
position
The candidate referred to is Hon.
John B. Breathitt, who desires a re-
election as railroad commissioner.

MARTIN IRONS IN CUSTODY.

A Newport, Ark, telegram to the
GlOte-Democrat, says:
Martin Irons, the man whose hasty
and ill-timed acts precipita,ed the
great Southern railroad strike Of six
years ego, occupies quarters in the
Jackson county Jail at this place
tonight. Living with a woman with.
out being married to her is the
charge against him. Your cor
respondent visited Mr.. Irons a few
minutes after he Yves put in prison.
The prisoner sat in the Jail corridor,
and beside him Sat the woman who is
the partner Of his guilt. Minerva
Tantham was the name she gave, and
Oregon county, Mo-, her home. She
is young woman, about twenty-five
years old, rather handsome. but
without a trace Of intelli-
gence on her face. She held on her
lap q little 1-month girl babe, of whom
Irons claims a psternal ownership.
Both admitted their guilt and did not
seem TO be sorry for it. Irons slso
admitted that he had a living wife,
but of her whereabouts he professed
ignorance.

waning hours began to draw fe:tivi-

enjoy himself too much as he thought,
but it was not enjoyment after all.
AT midnight he found himself in

In the meantime a guest entered
