Milk LEGISLATION.

There is plenty of leniency toward
the butterine makers to not interfere
with their nefarious business, but
the real dairymen are watched with
eagle eye to prevent the sale OF
milk below certain standard. The
Orange County Farmer says: Under
the above caption Mr.. George Abbott
has issued a little pamphlet that
treats of the dangers to honest dairy
men of the laws of most States, max
ing it penal offense to sell milk be-
low a certain per cent. of milk solids.
He shows conclusively that the milk
of COWS may even in good health &c
below twelve per cent. of solids. Nor
does he find this low per cent. of solids
due to starvation rations, nor does
he find the milk unhealthy.
He calls attention to the fact that
milk in the months after calving is
poorer in solids than in the months
before going dry, and that new milk
is preferred, though containing less
of solids. He particularly emphasizes
the fact that in all other applica-
tions of the law to penal offenses the
proof Of crime must be made before
conviction, while in the case of a
dairyman he is singled out, and re-
quired to prove his innocence. He
says:
"The imposition of fine and i'm
prisonment because Of an ignorance
of facts, not an ignorance Of the law,
would be hardship under any Cir
cumstances, but in the case of milk
it is doubly so, because being Of a
perishable nature. and there existing
a necessity for serving it while fresh,
it is practically impossible to secure
an analysis in advance Of sale"

But this is not the only use he makes
of bamboo in the matter of dress, for
during the summer season he has a
bamboo frame fitted rather closely to
the body, and over this he puts his
clothes. Thus he is inside of cage,
which prevents his clothes from stick
ing to him, and in the hottest weather
he remains cool and comfortable for,
in spite of his odd headgear, he has
long head and knows how to use it.
His clothes do not cost him much
money, for the simple reason that he

Corean religion is modelled after that
OF the Chine:e, SO is the architecture
OF Corea based on that of China. 1t is
not whit less pretentious, either, for
the Coreans are proud people, and as
they are politically subject to China
they take great pride in doing what
they can to prove th2t the inferio ~ity
is only political. So in every place Of
consequence there is temple or TOSS
house, where incense is daily burned
before the holy images and where the
names OF deceased ancestors are salts
fed with rice and such dainties as they
are supposed to en- Joy. But the Corean
does not allow what little religion he
has to Interfere with business. With
him religion IS one thing and
business is quite another, and
his religion does not either forbid
or prevent his stealing anything he
can lay his hands on. AT the times of
the great annual festivals his picty
takes the form Of praye S. offerings OF
food to the dead, eating, drinking, and
listening to music and dramatic enter
tertainments. Like his rel gion and
his art, both music and drama are bor-
rowed from China; the former is as
ear-splitting aad the latter is as
lengthy and non-int2 lligine as any
thing in the same line the Flowery
Kingdom is able to offer.
But for his geographical DOsitiQp
Engfand ana Japan, the Corean would
be permitted to vegetate in secluslon
to the end of time, but circumstances
have forced him to the front, and he
must now take part in the march OF
human events whether he will or no.

His other clothes are mostly cotton,
and the chief popularity about them
is the fact that they are always being
washed. The COreans have no soap.
and yet they expect the women to keep
the clothing in good coalition, and the
tOiling creatures manage to accom-
plish this herculean task by washing
the clothes four or five times and then
rounding them with mallet made
especially tor the purpose. This takes
time as we'll as labor, and the monoto-
nous tapping that goes on forever in a
city comes to be regarded by the Corean
visitor as one of the indispensabilities,
without which Corean community
would seem unnatural. When the

for in Corean cities certain hours after
dark are set apart for the women to
take their exercise, and during that
time all men are forbidden to appear
on the street under penalty of arrest.
This police regulation is very strictly
obeyed, too, for in Corea there is no
such thing as jury sys EN-, the rights
of the individual are very lightly re-
garded, and justice is melted out in the
most summary fashion. An offender
in the manner just indicated, for in
