A Cnhan Milkman.

''How many COWS there are about the
streetsl' somebody exclaims, and then
he is calmly informed that the morn
ing's milk is simply being delivered.
A bunch of cattle and their driver stop
before house, and the portero comes
out with cup for the mornings sup
ply. 1t is seen then that the COWS are
being MIXED from door to door by the
dairymen, for this is the way the acute
Cuban housewives have taken to assure
for their tables a tactical supply which
is entirely fresh and absolutely pure.
Even with the COWS MIXED before
the door one must continue to watch
the milkman, for l have even heard of
their having rubber bag of water con
cealed under their loose frocks and CON
nected with rubber tube running
down inside of the sleeve, it's tip being
concealed in the hollow of the milking
hand. Only gentle pressure upon the
bag of water within is needed to thus
cause both milk and water to flow into
the cup at the same time. The milk
vendors of Italy and India have also
learned their trade to perfection, for
they practice this identical trick.

Millers and the owners of grain ele-
fators look upon the bisulphide Of car
DON as one of their most useful agents.
When mill, an elevator or granary
becomes infested with weevil, bisul-
phide of carbon is the cheapest and
most effective thing to exterminate the
pest. So deadly is the gas, however,
and so rapidly does it act that the ut
most care must be taken in applying
the bisulphide. 1t is usually sprinkled
over the grain from watering pots. The
liquid is rapidly converted into a gas,
and the latter sinks through the grain,
carrying death to the weevil and even
to the unmatched eggs.
So long as the persons applying the
liquid stand above the point of applica-
ton they are pretty safe from the
fumes, but occasionally the workmen
breathe little of the gas and have to
be removed at once to the open air, as
the heart is quickly paralyzed by the
action of the bisulphide. 1t is usual to
treat the lower floors of granary first,
so that those employed in the work may
keep constantly above the gas. Any
animal, as cat or dog, shut up in an
apartment where the bisulphide is do
ing its work is found dead when the
place is opened. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

A Singular Calculation.

In recent number of Power singu-
lar calculation is presented by J. A.
Renie. 1t would require, according to
Mr.. Renie's figures, the power of "a 10,
900 horsepower engine about 10000,
900, 900 years to lift the earth foot in
height, and to do this work, allowing
Is pounds of water per horsepower per
hour, would require some 10, 900, 600, :
900, 900, 900, 900 gallons of water, or
more than would be discharged at the
mouth of the Mississippi in so, 900
years. This would be enough, the writer
estimates, to cover the entire surface Of
the earth to depth of about 300 feet,
to convert which into steam, using good
boilers, would require some 4, 600, 900, :
600, 600, 900 tons of coal. If the latter
quantity of the mineral was loaded on
cars of 20 tons each, it would demand
200, 600, 600, 600, 600 such cars. If the
latter were 30 feet long and all coupled
together in one train, it would reach
around the earth 40, 900, 900 times and,
if running 25 miles per hour, would
consume 20, 900, 900 years in running
the length of itself So much for fig
ures. "

An Editors Hard Lot.

There are always those who will kick.
For instance, if you publish jokes with
whiskers ON them some will say that
you ought to be in lunatic joint If
you don't print something to smile at,
they say you are pessimistio fossil. If
you spread yourself and write a good,
original article, they will say it is
stolen. If you reprint an article, they
say you can't write. If you say de-
serving word for a man, you are partial !;
if you compliment the women, the men
are jealous, and if you don't the verdict
of the women is to the effect that your
paper is not fit to use in the eonstruc-
ton of hustle. If you stay in your
Office, you are afraid to remain on the
streets; if you do. you are lazy. If you
look seedy, you are squandering your
money; if you wear good clothes, you
are dude, and don't pay for them. If
you play social game Of any kind and
get stuck, you are fish if you win,
you are a tin horn, and so it goes
through one continual round of pleasant
complications. --Roslyn (ALich.) Senti-

The importation Of marble to the
United States has almost ceased. 1t is
only now and then that cargo arrives
at this port, while few years ago a
fleet of sailing vessels brought many
cargoes annually from the famous Car
rara quarries in Italy to Philadelphia.
Marble buildings seem to be becoming
things of the past, and the tombstone
makers find little demand for marble
tombs, slabs or monuments. Granite
has taken the place of marble every
where, even in the cemeteries, where
marble shafts and slabs were formerly
the only proper things. Granite, unlike
marble, does not require very frequent
cleaning and looks we'll without being
touched up for years. 1t also admits OF
high polish and does not show the
marks of rust by contact with metal, as
marble does. -Philadelphia Record.

COLLEEN DHAS.

As roamed out one morning

But chanticleer his warning
Had flung it low and high.
The little birds were talking,
The mountains yet were gray,
When Colleen Dhas anne walking
At dawning of the day.
Her feet outvied the daisies,
Her hair outshone the sun,
Her beauty, like the Graces,
Did join all sweets in one;
Her eyes like twin stars married,
Her breath Of newmown hay;
A milking pail she carried
At dawning of the day.
"Now, are you tender Hebe,
Or maybe Juno bright?
Your name it might be Phoebe.
That robs the sun of light,
Or are you lovely Venus,
That close beside me stray,
With the milking pail between US

''Young man." she said, "don't fatter.
Your glance is bold and free.
No strangers praise win matter
To virtuous maids like me.
Pray go where you were going;

And hear my crummy lowing
At dawning of the day.
Upon a bench of rushes
Alone l sat and heard
Her voice outsing the thrushes
And every Weakening bird;
heard the sweet milk squirting,
The hedge between us lay,
And longed that we were counting
