lean Milk for Sale.

There IS little doubt that Governor
Morton is as close a business man as
politician. and in the wake of the sterilz-
ed milk vendors, he is putting the milk
from his great herd into the market as
pure, clean milk The stables are first
kept scrupuously clean, and land p aster
and deodorizers used literally; the cows
are sponged before milking, and udders
dried, so that no scales or anything can
fall into the milk; all milk utensils are
steam sea 'ded and dried the milk as fast
as it comes into the dairy house is aerated
with cooled hot air, made 20 hot that no
germs can possibly survive, after which 1t
is put into sealed bottles and delivered to
the trade and customers The do tors
are saying-some oil them-that In the
sterilizng of milk the good germs are
killed along with the bad ones, and that
perfect digestion cannot take place with
out the former, and so the doctors are
not hardly agreeing about 1.-The un-
challenged merits" of sterilized milk
There is no doubt that the milk OF a
healthy COW is perfect, SO far as harmful
germs are concerned, for these bad germs
are all introduced in the milk after IT Is In
the pail, and it is possible to so order the
appointments of stable and the care OF
the milk, that it is practically free OF them,
and in these extra precautions Governor
Morton is getting his twelve cents a quart
for pure, clean milk This idea OF the
Governors needs to be made catching,
and whole battalions of darymen set
themselves right at the plan of having
pure, clean milk to sell, even if 1t is going
to the cheese factory, One of the de-
mands of the times is a clean dairyman,
and all about the premises clean, and then
there will be less heard about sterilized
milk to make it healthy food.-If0eff6al

There is prospect that the starch
factories or at any rate all protected from
frost, will have winter pastime in abund
ance grinding through the big crop OF
potatoes. The present outlook is nc
more promising than heretofore for a
potato market, and the starch factory is
the farmers only refuge in his hour Of
tribulation and low prices The starch
factory modestly takes back seat when
the Boston market is bidding, but il

More than one man present that night
travelled, before many months, to Eng
land France or America to renew the
acquaintance thus pleasantly formed.
One or two succeeded in making the
objects of their visit believe that to
live always in sight of the sparkling
waters of the Mediterranean, always to
breathe it's breezes laden with the odor
of orange flowers and the spices of Cey-
lon, would be heaven upon earth and
did not go back alone
So the happy hours flew, and even
the chaperons, who usually found such
affairs extremely dull and longed to be
at their sleep were SO popular upon
this evening they were loath to ac-
knowledge that time was up and the
hour for departure had arrived. Hur-
ried good bys, a scramble back into the
ships boats, dreamy row to the ship,
a hurrying aboard, clanking of
chains, quick order or two, and the
great monster was under -ay almost
before the echo of a boat song from
pretty feminine Threats had died in
the ears of black coated group upon
the shore.
But still in the ball room of the hotel
the music walled on and the dancers
circled to its measure. Still in the cor

toned discourse. Still behind a flow
ing curtain of the same room a fair
woman now YEARLY sank upon the
floor and gazed about the chairless ex2
panse in which she found herself. now

ficulty, so her gentlemen admirers said,
half sadly. Nobody but Milly, said her
girl friends, enviously, would have met
with so romantic an adventure. No
body but his wife-but that's ahead of
my story.
The great ocean steamship was on
its way from Australia to England
through the Red sea, which, as every
one knows, is the longest ocean voy-
age in the world She had stopped at
a port in Ceylon, in order that her sea-
weary passengers might go ashore for
a few hours and feast their eyes upon
the city and surrounding country, and
feel once more terra firma beneath
their feet Millicent most of all re-
joiced at the opportunity, for she was
not more weary of the sea than OF a
certain extremely young man aboard
ship whose persistent attentions, while
very wearying at times, offered the
only diversion from the monotony OF
women's society, for there was a sad
dearth of men on the trip. This short
pause gave her an opportunity to es-
cape both sea and w-passenger.
The party-all women-took dinner
ashore at the - hotel, which, all
travellers know, is the resort of all En-
glish speaking people who visit the is
land Mine host, delighted to honor a
group of so charming young ladies and
having in mind the success of hop on
the program for the hotel that same
evening, showed himself very attentive
and extended most cordial invitation
to come back and dance for an hour or
so.
The scramble into the waiting boat
and urgent entreaties to the rowers 10
hurry gave evidence of the delight with
which the invitation was received. And
the hotel proprietor. watching its
course toward the ship, smiled as he
congratulated himself on the social
success he foresaw. For the pretty En-
glish and American girls had been
much observed during the day and he
knew the numerous English and Amer
lean bachelor merchants and profess
sional men of the town would come in
scores should they learn these ladies
were TO dance, which report mine host
took care should be spread rapidly far

When the captain saw the eager
faces of his girls, as he laughingly
called them. and learned the cause Of
their unusual amount of animation, he
had not the heart to disappoint them
but promised to hold the boat until II
o'clock, that they might attend the
dance.
So back to land again, over tht
sparkling water, in ball gowns ant
