l contained As per cent Of added water.

These milks were Judged by the standard of
the lowest quality of natural milk and not by
the standard Of lhe quality of milk yielded by
COWS in the tropics. And it may surprise
some of our readers to know that if the latter
standard had been adopted, the adulteration
would have worked out several per centages
higher, for the milk of COWS in the tropics is
much richer than that of their sisters in Nor
thorn lands, popular belief to the contrary
Notwithstanding. This Sunday raid upon the
milk-sellers ought to copvince these gentry
that they had better be more careful in their
dealings on Sunday as we'll as on week days
but the surest way to keep them from selling
milk and water is for the Police to persist in
their new practice of purchasing samples.

In our advertisement columns to-day APP
pears the first public announcement of the
Pomeroon Provision Company, Id; the OBJ
iect Of which may be gathered pretty accu-
rately from its title. 1t is proposed to en-
polder a tract Of $50 acres Of land on the
Pomeroon river and cultivate it ia maize.
plantainS, bananas, tannlas, eddoes, yams.
cassava, as well as coffee, vanilla and cocoa.
The scheme also includes the Introduction of
best appliances for drying corn and other pro
duce and making commeal, plantain and cas-
sava -four, banana meal, sta.ches and .other
similar articles Of daily domestic consump-
ton, Another source of income will be the
raising of pigs and poultry, food for which of
the best quality will be provided at a nominal
cost on the estate. The plan has nothing
climerical about it. 1t is practical and prac-
ticable, nothing that the scheme aims at be-
ing beyond the accomplishment of an intelli-
gent manager and a not very large body of
labou rers and as the proposed site has been
selected with the greatest care, both on &C.

1t might have been supposed that the very
heavy fines imposed a few weeks ago upon
Georgetown milk-sellers, mostly Coolies, for
adulterating their milk with large quantities
of water, would have put an entire stop to
the nefarious practice, as being too risky and
too costly to be worth carrying on, but we
learn that tie m~ilk-drowners have not had
the common sense, we do no say honesty, to
keep themselves clear Of The law. After the
last big raid by the Police upon the milk
cans, The quality of the milk ON week days was
always found to be pure or as nearly 50 as was
reasonable to expect. and it was thought that
the law had had indeed a salutary effect, when
it occurred to the Police TO find out whether
Sundays milk was also of a like high stand
ard, and Inspector Kerr, last Sunday, sudden
ly appeared amongst the milk-selle's around
the Railway station, and succeeded in pur-
chasi z 80 samples which were tested the
same day. The results Were as follows -
10 were found to be unadulterated.

have taken part in it are to be congratulated
on the happy result of their labours. In the
Berbice Gazette and in our correspondents

a distinct step forward in the march of pro-

From the yTeIegraph 1lth Sept.)

In literature and art the world is. after all
very conservative. Innovations find n cold
reception, anS their advocates are either re-
vlled or sent to gaol. The latter was the
fate OF James Baker, hailing from a cheap
lodging house in Wandsworth. by profession
a "screever," or pavement artist, who devot-
ed himself to the spread Of tl4|"NeV Art"
even as some gentlemen cultivate thes New
Humour." His fate was even harder than
theirs. Baker was exhibiting his E'noc-
turnes' and "studies'-made on pastebOard
BY the aud of orayons-in the High Street
Wandsworth. Pedestrians who gave him a
copper were lauded to the sky as refined art
critics, while those who passed by without
acknowledging his genius with at least a half
penny were loaded with abuse. A constable
who has no eye for the New Art took
Baker and his pictures into custody, and
brought them before the magistrate for the
South Western Police Division of the Metro
polls. Mr. Dtnman looked at them critical
~, and selecting one which showed q streak
OF white on a deep black background asked
the artist what the subject was. Ba-
ker took the cardboard in his hand
looked at the scene from one point of
view, then turned it upside down, then end
wise, and after due reflection replied, "Thar,

"a moonlight scene, sir" ut must have
been taken when there was no moon,' re-
marked the magistrate. ''rr'aps-er-there
was-er-a 'clipse hat night, sir" Mr.
Denman eclipsed Bakers artistic career for
the space Of three months, remarking that
while no one objected to an honest dranghts-
man attempting to earn a livelihood, Baker
was such a palpable fraud and mendicant
that he ought to- be punished. Exit the

What policy does the French Government
intend to adopt towards Madagascar? This is
a question that is e~xciting'much interest Just
now. M. lie Myre de ViIers is to leave France
on a special mission for Antananarivo ON the
l4th inst, and the nope is generally express
ed that the deputy for Cochin China, who
has already defended his country's interests in
Madagascar, and who concluded the Bangkok
Treaty last autumn, will assume a very reso-
Lutte attitude. M. LIE Myre de Vilers has Just
conferred with the President of the
Council and with the Minister for For
elgn Affairs, and there i, good reason for the
belief that he has been instructed to put
pressure on the MalagaSy Government,
and TO warn it that, unless it yields, it
will soon find itself face to face with a fresh
campaign. According to accounts received
here for a long time past French rights have
been completely set aside in the island, which,
moreover, is represented as being,i in a very dis
turbed state. The situation, indeed, is des-
crlbed as unsatisfactory in the highest de.
gree, and as calling for energetic interven-
ton, and it is quite on the cards that this
journey may be the prelude to serious action,
unless NJ. LIE Myre de Vilers succeeds in gain
ing his point.

Made the Dog Thankful.

When the family came home from SER
vice on Thanksgiving morning, they
heard Ponto bowling dismally from the
attic. "However could the dog have got
up there?" asked grandma, as she looked
up and saw his piteous black face at the
window. 81 didn't know the attic door
had been opened this morning"
"Oh, yes" said little Annie innocently.
81 opened it. put him up there on pur-
pose.'
"You did, child? What for?"
"Well, you see," replied Annie, with
all the gravity given by nine years of
wisdom, 81 tried to think of some way
to make Thanksgiving day different to
him from other days. We might give
him turkey, but how would he know sure
it wasn't Christmas turkey, instead? So
thought I'd shut him up in the dark,
where he hates to be, and when he was
let out he'd be thankful enough for
Thanksgiving day
Her plan was absolutely successful.
Once down stairs, having again the run
Of the house, Ponto frisked and yelped
as if he had very special cause for thanks
giving and needed no governors procla-
nation to teach him the uses of the day.
The town could boast at least one dog
wit thankful heart.

Puritan Thanksgiving Games.

Strict as the old Purtans were, they
were not opposed to certain games, par
ticularly those Of an outdoor character.
Bowls and backgammon were permitted,
and the young men and maidens were not
restricted, at least in the colonies Of
Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay, from
participating in them upon Thanksgiv-
ing day after they had devoutly attended
to meetings" Some Of the old English
fireside games were also permitted, and
many a bevy Of Puritan lads and lassies
participated in snapdragon or blind
mans buff on Thanksgiving night. This
custom OF making the occasion one for
family and social reunion and devoting
it largely to innocent amusement is still
one of the most honored in connection
more so than in New England. chris

One of the obvious but too often for
gotten demands of the Thanksgiving day
is active charity. 1t should be welcomed
by everybody as an occasion to help some
one not so well conditioned as oneself.
This is Christianity in action. Its field
may be the next house, the next street,
wherever men and women suffer. There
is at this time in this city an unusual call
for the Offices of sweet charity. The close
of the day should find the resources of
our organized benevolent associations
very materially increased. The act of
worship will be incomplete unless ones
loaf is shared and another's burden
lightened. These are the plain and
simple maxims, the religion of the
Thanksgiving season. They who do not
keep them will miss the true meaning of
the Philadelphia Ledger.
