are enough to make glad the heart OF
every spinster in the land. There Is
not state in the union where there.
are as many old maids as bachelors.
Even Massachusetts, the traditional
home of the spinster Of the poll-par-
rot species, has more men than wom-
en- of manageable age. The bachelors
outnumber the old maids by only two
tenths of per cent in Massachusetts,,
which is a lesser per cent Of excess
than in any of the other states. But,
even at that, there are nearly 1000
"superduous men, there, who would
be left chanceless If the 219,0O0 old

2l9,OOO old bachelors. How is that for
Massachusetts, the greatest state in

seem that a spinster Of ordinary at

disclosed to arrange matters wherever
she might live. But IL she wants

men are confronted with undesirable:
changes IL their Tnailk. due to causes
oftentimes concealed from them. How
to prevent these changes and secure a.
| product which is desirable to their
customers are vexing questions, and
they are usually left unanswered. Milk
is q rich food for bacteria. In the
udder Of a COW free from disease the
milk is free from bacteria. It is on
the way through the milk duct and
Its contact with the dust Of the air, i.
the hands Of the mixer, the dirt of
the pail, that milk becomes richly in
oculated or contaminated with bac-
terra. This incubation or contami-
nation is governed in richness in pro-
portion to the amount of filth that
surrounds the milking process. 1t is
possible to draw milk from the udder
OF a COW without introducing thou
sands of bacteria, but this is not real
lied by the usual methods, OF milking.
It is safe to say, nevertheless, that
the numberiof bacteria will be d.
minished as the cleanliness is in
creased. 1t is a common experience
among milkmen to have their milk
sour while distributing it. This is
more likely to occur during extremely
warm and muggy weather. If we
stop for a moment to consider how
this souring takes place, it will be
easy, from a rational standpoint, to
reduce the chances by introducing
safe methods of handling. The bac-
teria that cause the lsouring Of milk
are very abundant in dairies, on the
utensils, and in the dust of the air.

in fact everywhere. Having = once

very rapidly, so that thousand with
In the course of few hours increase
to many millions. They feed upon
the sugar of the milk, and by so do
ing convert it into an acid which, in
turn, curdles the milk. Bacteria, like
plants, grow much more rapidly when
the temperature is suitable, as we find
it in warm, muggy weather. If the
atmospheric temperature Is cold or
the milk is cold, they are restrained :
in their development, consequently
the milk remains sweet much longer
A practical lesson might be drawn
here which would be of great value
if borne in mind. Cool the milk as
soon as it comes from the COW, and
keep it cold until it reaches the con-
sumner, if you desire to furnish abso-
lutely sweet milk which has not un-

FIRST MAHOGANY BUREAU.
Beautiful Wood Which Had Hard
Fight for Favor.

T1ShG ZOE faVOr.
Many people suppose that the use OF
mahogany for the manufacture of fur
n1ture is very ancient. AS a matter
OF fact, the first record we have of this
rare wood is in 1895, when Sir Walter
Raleigh repaired one of his ships with
it in the port of Trinidad. The next
we hear of mahogany is many years
later, when an Englishman who was
sailing from one of the West Indies
used quite a lot of what appeared to
him rough lumber for ballast, and
when he arrived in Eaugland and
found his brother building house he
gave this apparently ill-featured tim
Der to him for his house. When his
brother turned the lumber over to his
carpenters, they refused to use it, be-
cause it was so shard that it spoiled
their tools; so it's use for building that
house was abandoned. t. His wife, how
ever, short time after, gave some of
this wood to her cabinetmaker in or
der to have him make for her candle
box. He, too, complained of the hard
ness of the wood and it's effect upon
his tools. The candle box was finished
at last, however, and it was so hand
some, having taken on such a beauti-
full polish, that this box became quite
curiosity among the society people
of that day; so much so that the lady's
husband had the same cabinetmaker
make him a bureau of the same wood
The bureau was so unusually beauti-
full that the cabinetmaker went regu
larly into the business of manufacture
ing bureaus, and made not only rep
utation, but a large fortune out OF the
business.-Atlanta Constitution.
