Per Capita
In Gallons.

The figures for gallons are followed
by fractions of gallons, not quarts.
1t will be seen that New York uses %
gallons more milk per individual per
month than does Denver, Col.
In New York, therefore, every person
uses about 2S1. quarts per month. At
this rate family of four would con-
sumo LA quarts of milk per month, but
the fact as stated is that the large fam
lies OF foreign extraction live almost
entirely on milk during at least four
months Of the year.
Still, 2SA quarts Of milk per month is
less than one quart a day, or about four
glasses. which is not extravagant.
But if the amount of milk consumed
IN general way, for cooking purposes
and a thousand and one other things, be
considered, the aggregate amount used
would be more than four times greater
than that consumed by individuals.
No other city in the world uses as
much milk as New York for manufa ctur-
ing purposes, but some of the Western
cities use immense quantities of milk for
the canning process.
It is estimated that the farmers of this
country receive $13,50O,OOO for this milk,
but the total product after being con-
sumed is said to have netted the differ
emit manipulators over. $30,O00,000, and
there are other countries who are, prob
ably, equally as heavy consumers.
The number Of mich cows in the
United States is set at about 1900, 900.
Twenty years ago there were only
about 100000 mich COWS in the coun-
try, and the per capita amount of milk
consumed in the United States at large
was but Al gallons per month.-Retail

TALE OF MYSTERY.
"That Awful Boy JONES'" Who Puzzled
English Royalty. .,H~

An old story, which will bring smile
to the faces of those old enough to re-
member the circumstances, hangs on the
phrase, THAT awful boy Jones'" Lon
don Black and White revives the story
for the benefit of the present generation.
Fifty or more years ago the lawful boy
was the torment Of Queen Victoria's life,
and his short career in public contains
a mystery which would try the mettle Of
Sherlock Holmes. =
He was BARRIERS apprentice, who in
some unexplained way discovered a pas
sage into Buckingham palace, with which
he alone was acquainted. When he was
first found trespassing he was gently adj
monished and sent home Soon after he
was encountered again in the palace. He
would not tell how he obtained access.
Again he was sent home and again he
reappeared.
Once he calmly admitted that he had
been lodging in the palace for fort
night He had laid snug during the day,
sleeping in the royal apartments, and at
night had wandered from room to room,
helping himself to the food left over from
royal repasts. He had seen the Queen
repeatedly, and, indeed, had never been
far from her. - I'll !. s..ss5sse
The matter was considered 50 serious
that the boy was summoned before q
special meeting of the privy council. He
refused to give any account Of his secret.
Soon after he disappeared, and it is sup
posed that he was removed under state
protection Youths Companies.

Spirits in the Air.

There can be little doubt that the air
of distilleries, wine and spirit vaults and
drinking saloons must at times contain
appreciable amounts of alcohol, and the
question has arisen as to whether air
containing traces Of alcohol would be
prejudicial to health. We have heard it
said that the effect Of inhaling the air
when other spirituous liquids are kept in
the store. 1t is, Of course, well known
that sherry IS highly ethereal wine.
There would appear to be some ground
for concluding that when air is impreg-
mated with the volatile vapors Of spirits
or wines it has marked effect upon
health. According to an examination
made Of the air OF distillery it would
appear that no less than an ounce of
proof spirit or half an ounce of absolute
alcohol may be present in five cubic feet
Of air.-London Globe. =

The October fire loss in the United
States and Canada was only 50. 500. 300
more than $5,0OO,OOO below that in the
corresponding month Of last year. In ten
months Of 1902 there has been saving Of
81 100000 by not burning up. That is
to say the figures for the opening ten
month periods Of two years compare
as follows: 1901, $135,395, $50; 1902,
1924 ,097,7 700. In comparison with 1900,
the falling off in this years fire loss APP
appears to still greater advantage. In
the first ten months of that year the fire
loss amounted to S143. 425,5jO.

A Thrifty Waiter.

There is a head waiter in Copenhagen
who is making snug income from the
sale of 1bsen autographs. When the
Norwegian dramatist lived in Copen.
hagen he used to spend much time in
ployed. At the time he was writing his
''Woman from the Sea-" he would get
so engrossed in his work that he refused
to make his wishes known by word of
mouth. Therefore when he wanted a
drink he would write out an order on u
slip of paper, signing it III. l." As he
wanted drinks six or seven times in the
course of every afternoon the collection
of autographs which the waiter saved
became very large, and they are now
bringing good prices.

MAGDA.

Whence, whence the inspiration of her soul
Whose passion penetrates the frozen deep
Where torment guards the Promethean few
that keep
Troth with their souls though iron thunders
roll
Damnation over them? God of the whole
Wild mystery, whence, ah, whence these
fires that creep
dangerously gay from pain to pain, then
leap
Quivering aloft in flames Of plangent dole?
Not from the God or fertered schlsm and
sect
This strength of wondrous living torn from
sin;
Not from the God Of icy priests this warm
Motherhood glory wistful yet erect:
Nay, but from Thee, thou God of battle-dIn
And passion and Of starlight in the storm.
