The neighbors Of . certain well-known

housewife and her lord never know what
domestic discord is except when the old man
goes home slightly in his cups. Then there
IS trouble. and plenty Of it. for the old lady
sistently tried for . score Of years to &c,
"Moike to quit it." The storms, according
to the story, have grown less violent of late
years, and for that matter the tipsy periods
Of '.Moike" are not of such frequent recur-
renee as formerly. Not long sgo, so the
story goes, the old man went home pretty
well tanked, and his wife met him.

RACK FOR MILK CANS,

The cans are usually each inverted on
a rod or stake, row of these being
provided for the purpose. A can upsid.
down is not in the best condition to be
aired. Nor can it get any sunshine into
its interior in this position, which is
specially unfortunate. as the sun helps
destroy all germs. Make rack like
that shown in the cut, that will tilt the
cans toward the sun, and they will be
much sweeter and purer.-N. Y. Trib-

had been killed by the refusal of cigh-
teen of the largest commission houses

not recedc from their original position
on the concentration question: he was
asked.
NO" he answered. 1--WE have no
reason to be discouraged. With the
exception OF n few mills that are con-
trolled by Northern capital the mem
bers of the association are now as
much in favor OF the concentrate and
the reduction Of the selling commits
sions as they were when it was first
proposed. They are standing together,
