why Milk Differs in Quality.

Milk is more susceptible to changes
from the normal condition than any
other food product. The first class of
changes has been brought about by the
action of breeders. By many years of
attention to breeding for fat production,
it is now possible to get milk which may
be twice al rich as the normal. On the
other hand, other breeders have paid
especial attention to production of large
quantity, even at the expense of quality,
until pure milk is sometimes produced
having as low as 10 per cent. of solids,
when the normal is 10 per cent.
A second set of causes which influence
the quality of milk grows out of the ig-
norance or carelessness of the producer
or seller. Where the persons held the
exploded idea of the value of one cows
milk for children anything in the treat
ment of the cow which affects its nervous
temperament may unfit it for food for
very young children. Uncleanliness or
neglect is often a grave source of trouble
in the handling of milk, not only on &C
count of the possibilities of the addition
of visible filth, but because milk is pc
culiarly susceptible to odor, various
kinds of bacteria and disease germs.
Epidemics of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been traceable to the milk
supply, unclean ear and other utensils,
and particularly to propagating bacteria.

It is remarkable that although new
fruits come to the front every year there
is not a pear yet that has been able to
take the place of the Bartlett or the
Seckel. The Bartlett is a European sort,
originating in England and named there
Williams Bon Curetien. 1t was intro
duced into this country, and it's name
getting lost it was named Bartlett. after
the man in whose garden it was when
it's excellent qualities were discovered.
The Seckel is native, a chance seeding.
found growing near the Schuylkill river,
Philadelphia. and the original tree still
stands and bears fruit.
The Bartlett is in season throughout
September, the Seckel from the close of
September and through October. These
two kinds are no exception to the rule
that the quality of all pears increases in
value as the trees get older. The fruit
from a full grown Seckel pear tree. for
instance, is far superior to that from a
tree fruiting for the first time.-Practi-
cal Farmer.

Those of us who like Friday for vari-
GUS reasons, but chiefly because it leads
up to Saturday, upon which day schools
are closed, will be pleased to hear that
it is not half so unlucky a day as Mon
day, the day school opens again. A Ger
man statistician, feeling that Friday had
been a much maligned day, determined
to make a scientific investigation of the
matter, and found that it is not Friday
but Monday that is the most unfortunate
of the week days.
According to his Investigations 1874
per cent. of all accidents occur on Mon
day, 1851 per cent. on Tuesday, 1851 per
cent. on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent. on
Thursday, 1888 per cent. on Friday,
16. 3s per cent. on Saturday and only 2. SO
per cent. on Sunday. So you see Friday
isn't so bad g day after all.-Harper's

A Small Legal Fee.

The smallest feeever taken by an Eng
lish counsel was sixpence, that fee hav-
ing on one occasion been taken by the
late Sir John Holker. Barristers' fees
were in olden times much less than
those now paid. An entry occurs in the
church wardens' accounts of St. Mar
garet's, Westminster, for 1476. showing
that a fee of three shillings and eight
pence, with fourpence for his dinner.
was paid to Robert Fylpott, counsel.
learned in the law, for his advice.
In Mares GLOSSARY" a barrister's fee
was stated to be an angel, or ten shil-
lings. These are somewhat different
figures to the 600 guineas paid to Sir
Charles Russell three or four years ago
at the Leeds assizes for less than three
hours's work, or at the rate of wei three
guineas a minute .-London Tit-Bits.

On Collecting Autographs.

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is of course the applica-
ton for an autograph. This application
is now reduced to such a system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request a blank card on which
the name is to be written, with an en-
velope stamped and addressed for its re-
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechanical, though the line of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may say,
where Two cards are sent, the second
n being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, l suspect,
writes on both cards, since he does not
aim to help out a mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes far
Their and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomes more serious,
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers of time.-T. w.
Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.

The Vanishing Couple.

A fashion safe to stamp a young girl
in general society as but ill equipped
with knowledge of good form is that of
vanishing" in company with her at
tendant after a dance and remaining in
unfrequented corners until remark is
thereby created. Such is the young wo-
man whose chaperon is in continual spec
ulation as to her whereabouts or else in
active exercise to find her. She is no
doubt often innocent of intention to Of
fend, but at large and mixed entertain
ments the better part of wisdom in a wo-
man is to keep in view Of her fellows.
A witty Frenchwoman, Nine. de Gira-
din, once wrote: "Amuse yourselves, o
young beauties, but futter your wings
in the broad light of day. Avoid shad-
1--WE in which suspicion hides" The
vanishing woman" act should be lin
tied in performance to a platform in full
view of the audience. The prompt re-
turn of young woman to the side or
vicinity of her chaperon after dancing is
not only a graceful and well bred action,
but affords an opportunity to the man,
who too often is embarrassed in this re-
spect, to withdraw and fulfill some other
engagement.-Ladies Home Journal.

A Chronic Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is a certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her "case"
and writing about it. Her letters are
long, full of unpleasant details and so
burdened with inquiries and requests
that they have to be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are ad-
dressed to men and women to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of a typewriter would relieve unfa-
vorable symptoms, and asks a hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on all author to tell her what and
how to write. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for a worthless subscrip-
ton book that she may gain the money
to do so.
But always her ''case" is directly or
Indirectly the theme of the many closely
written pages. All things past, present
and to come are related to her various
Affections. In the words of a Persian
proverb, 1.-THE sun shines that the world
may see her wounds. youths Com

Didn't LIZ. the we.von..

II came very near having a duel
once," said the congressman to a group
Of auditors.
"Tcll US about it," said they as one
man.
"When l was about thirty" he con-
tinued, II hung out my shinglc in a
small town in a southern state, and be-
ing from the north l did not receive at
first the agreeable recognition 1 expect
ed. In fact there was one blatherskite
Of a fellow who made himself SO OBJ
noxious that one day I slapped his jaws.
This brought all the respectable people
of the community over to my side, and l
was feeling pretty good for three or four
days, when the bottom was knocked out
of it all by my receiving a challenge
from Mr.. Blatherskite. If there was
anything more than another that didn't
want to do it wa to fight a duel, and l
tried to get out of it some way, but
couldn't, and finally accepted his chal-
lenge and chose doubled barreled shot
guns at ten PAGES. l didn't hear any
thing from my man for twenty-four
hours, and then I had a personal call
from him.
"I have come in he said after a few
preliminary remarks, to make a state
ment about this duel. What I've got to
say is that shotguns are too doggoned
mortuary for me, and if you have no OBJ
jections I'll apologize and call it square,
Then l became very brave and blus-
tered some, but l accepted the situation
very gracefully at last, and ever after
Mr.. Blatherskite was most respectful,
and stood about as we'll in the town as
he ever did."-Detroit Free Press.

Absence of Real Children in Literature

Absence of Real Children in Literature.
The wise mentors in conventional lit
erature virtually tell you that child liter
allure wants no real children in it; that
the real child's example of defective
grammar and lack of elegant department
would furnish to its little patrician pa
irons suggestions very hurtful indeed to
their higher morals, tendencies and am
billions. Then, although the general pub
lie couldn't for the life of it see why or
how, and might even be reminded that
it was just such a rowdying child
itself, and that its father-the father
of his country-was just such a child.
that Abraham Lincoln was Just such
q lovable, lawless child, all-all of
this argument would avail not in
the least, since the elegantly minded
purveyors of child literature cannot pos
Bibly tolerate the presence Of any but the
refined children-the very proper chill
dren-the studiously thoughtful, poetic
children-and these must be kept safe
from the communicating touch of u
rough and tumble little fellows in 'hod-
den gray" with frowzy heads, begrimed
but laughing faces, and such awful,
awful vulgarities of naturalness, and
crimes of simplicity, and brazen faith
and trust, and love of life and everybody

Raphae1,s Theo1oeica1 Virtue.

It is vain to accuse Raphael, as did
certain of his contemporaries, of not
having sufficient theological virtue, in
asmuch as he painted virgins that were
too humanity adorable. Raphael con-
formed his painting to his ideas and his
sentiments. He expressed his soul, just
as Lippo Lippi, Botticelli, Mantegna,
Bellini and Perugino expressed their
souls, each n differently, and in a man
ner characteristic of his more or less
complex personality; and, as regards
each n of them, the degree of our ad-
miration and sympathy depends upon
the temperament and culture of our
own souls.-Theodore Child in Harper's.
