A Simple Milk Test.

In many English cities, and especially
IN London, the cerulean tirt of the
liquid supplied by the milkmln has
long been a bywOrd. anG although the
customer might he fully aware Of the
imposition that was being practiced on
him, he has no def lite plan of remedy
in the evil that would not entail more
trouble than it was worth. The quality
of the milk could certainly be told by
a lactometer, but the instrument was
very liable to be broken, and the sys-
tcmatic employment of sci ,ntitic tests
is apt to become irksome to the average
householder. A new device will certain
" recommend itself, both on the score
of convenience and trllstwOrthiness. An
ordinary glass jug is graduated on the
outside in pints and fractions. Be-
meath the graduations are drawn three
lines, marked respectively average
good" and Every good" When the
jug is filed by tho milkman, the pur-
chaser can see at 4 glance whether
the proper quantity has been received,
and after it had been allowed to settle,
the quality of the milk will also be
shown. The thickness of the layer of
cream on top will be gauged by the
three small lines below the measure,
and O. very accurate idea can then be
formed Of the consistency Of the milk.

Hero WOrshiD,

Men have a poor eye for the truest heroes
round about them in their own day. Their
hero worship is concerned chiefly with the
past. Emerson said of Webster at the
time Of the fugitive slave law, when Gar
rison and Phillips and Parker and Whittier
We're waging their great fight, He knows
the heroes Of 1716, but cannot see those of
1851 when he meets them in the street"
However severe this view of Webster may
be, the word is true of thousand thou
sand men. 1t is as common today as it
was in Christ's time and before Christ's
time for men who busy themselves in
painting the tombs of the prophets to be
just as busy in stoning the prophets sent
unto their own generation.
Carlyle himself, the greatest of all our
hero worshipers, whose name rushes to
our lips at the very mention Of heroes and
heroism, had but a poor eye and ear fo~
the heroic figures and voices of his own
epoch. He never caught Mazzini's vision
He hardly understood what Mazzini was
about in the world even when he had him
for his neghbor and went in and out with
him day by day. There had been no con-
siderable exhibition of heroism in England,
according to his vision, for two centuries
no real body of heroes since the Puritans.
1t may we'll be doubted whether, had he
been the contemporary of Cromwell or of
Luther, whom he celebrated so well, he
would not have been found their enemy
and counted them malcontents, busybodies
and disordcrly fellows-Edwin ID. Mead

The aspiration which sets the compost
ton of a nations songs above the enact
ment of its laws has made familiar, through
trite quotation, the idea that some of the
truest history of mankind may be found in
the realm of the imagination. Whatever
we think of Achilles and Hector, Homer
remains an interpreter of the life of Greece;
while the Arabian Nights afford us a
glimpse at the east which no speculations
about Aladdin have clouded or enlarged
An important phase of European life is
made more ineligible by such knowl-
edge of Don Quixote as is possessed by an
ordinary reader even without finishing the
book, and "Pilgrim's Progress" holds a
clew to the meaning of our own civil war
We might carry on our illustrations into
the realm of biography
John Henry Newman has left us two
pictures of his Oxford life, fiction and an
autobiography, and it is the first which
tells us most even the letters, full as they
are of life and interest, seem to us to throw
less illuminating CLEANS on his own youth
than his undergraduate novel does. And
it would be felt by many persons with less
claim upon the worlds attention than the
great English cardinal, that if they were
to give the world what their lives afford
of deepest interest, it must be in the form
of fictitious narrative There is much
truth which could not possibly be ex-
pressed in any other orm.-Contemporary

The Sylph and the Students.

1t was wet afternoon and some half
dozen students from the university were
about the only passengers on board the in.
terurban car. At Prior avenue dainty
creature got on and took a seat right
plump in the middle. Its eyes were be-
witching and its complexion as beautiful
as dream. A long macintosh coming
down to the elegant and trim little rain
boots and a rubber hood were the outward
and only apparent articles of attire. The
six students lined up in row on the Cd
posite seat and the face of each assumed a
peculiar and beguiling expression. They
smiled, they stroked their chins, while one
or two pulled away in the most captivating
manner at their soft downy mustachios
That sylphlike creature eyed the stalwart
young men wonderingly and with strict
impartiality.
After awhile its umbrella dropped nerv
ously from its fingers. In second six
brawny arms grabbed at it, and four
thoughtful brows bumped against each
other, but the sylph took the umbrella and
didn't say word. At Dale street the
car stopped, and the sylph stood up and
unbuttoned it's surtout and stood revealed
"a ten year old boy. "Well l never knew
that students were such great gawks," IT
said, and then it tripped out, and during

A Child's Alteration.

The child's affectations are assumed
without an effort. They spring up natu-
rally as soon as he begins to grasp the re-
alities of the life about him. That per-
ception stirs revolt forthwith, if he be such
boy as we love.
Where is your chance of adventure in
Pentonville? This blessed island is the
home of all the virtues, but as yet he is too
young to value that distinction. French

career; they know all about it as soon as
they know anything, and their ideal is
ready made. Our youngster plays at sol
der fast enough but he does not see
enough of the real article to form CO.
herent perception of the game. His drills
and battles are unmethodical, nor is the
foe clearly identified; he wages war on hui
mainly at large with the simplicity of
primeval man. He counts his scalps and
gathers plumber.
In vain you shall tell him of those vic
tories not less renowned than war which
peace still offers to deserving lieges of this
realm. The story leaves him incredulous
nay, worse, not interested He claims
the right OF his manhood to go forth and
get his living with his strong hand, not
by peddling goods or even working with
his brain. And so he compasses heaven
and earth to get an old pistol, puts strap
round his waist and is instantly full

Helping with Influence.

In rather low and crowded basement of
one of the city's shops recently customer
stood waiting for parcel near an elevated
desk, where young woman was acting as
cashier Of the department. Directly over
the girl hung a strong electric light. A
man, evidently an attache of the establish
meut who looked after the lights, came
along, eXtinguished the light, and pro-
ceeded to lower and clean it. The girl
drew a breath of relief.
II wish you wouldn't put the thing
back" she said
why" said the man, ''is your head bad
sgain?"
ITS always bad, complained the girl,
"while that whirring glare is in my face"
The man laughed alphabetically.
Sorry, but | can't help it," he said; and
moment later the dazzling globe swung in
position again and he went on to finish his
rounds.
But it CHANGED that the woman who
heard this was benevolent and energetic
one. and she was besides a rich and long
standing patron of the store She asked
the girl at the desk "A few questions to dis
cover that the bad head" described an al
most permanent condition of dizziness and
fullness, which, rightly or wrongly, she
attributed to the electric light. The GUS
toner listened and sympathized and went
straight from the basement to the mana
gers office, where her statement of the
case and plea for a change in the situation
of electric light or desk received probably
more attention than it would have done
from a less prominent woman. At all
events within a few days the cashiers

small gas jet, shaded supplied the extra

designed stroke Of electioneering policy

Grimstone, who was opposing the success
Of her nominees, had fresh edition printed
of very stupid comedy called Love in a

How the Dop Knew

A family on Staten Island has dog that
seems to show distinct reasoning faculty.
The dog had long been accustomed to take
a morning walk with member of the
family, but was not permitted to accom-
pany his friend to church. The animal
soon seemed to understand that one day in
seven he must remain at home, and the
conclusion was that he could count, On
Sunday morning, however, the dog sur
prised every one by joining the family on
the way to church. The conclusion was
that he had forgotten until it was called
to mind that the church bell had not runp
that morning. The dog evidently asso-
ciated the sound of the bell with the fact
that he was not to accompany his compan-
ions as usual, and when the bell did not
sound he saw no reason for emitting his
usual walk.-New York Sun.
