that the city engineer should pay into
the city treasury all the fees that he
received from work done for private
parties in the city, another discussion
arose between the surveyor and coun-

turn over all fees that he might earn

objected to this. claiming that the city
had no right to demand it. He be-

other people outside of the city when
there was no city work to be perform

provision was made he would resign.
Councilman Mclean cited the fact

Young Swiss Sociologist Hopes to I'm

Book to Instigate Reform.

Among the passengers on the Lu-

the other day was Hans Bander, a
young Swiss, who is consumed by an
ambition to remedy the condition of
the poor in every quarter of the world.
AS he has no money, he is going to
bring about his reform by writing a

To obtain material for the book
Hans Bander has started to walk
around the world, save where oceans
and rivers intervene. He expects to
take ten years in his tour and in that
time to associate with the poor of
every country under the sun. Out Of
his experiences he expects to present
the case of the poor so clearly and log
ically that better conditions must en-
sue.

WHAT Ais THE CHINAMAN.
A Lucid Dissertation on the Cranial
Formation of the Morbid
Monaghan.

Just now, with things so stirred up
in the far east, it may be interesting
to know these few simple facts about
the yellow races, things that are prob
ably not realized by the most intelli-
gent Chinese laundryman Of Brooklyn
who has never missed a session of his
Sunday school:
The Mongolians have always been
septentrionally inclined, says the New
York Sun.
The Monaghan hair is the most liO-
is neutrality-suspicious. with a cepha-
lie index that beats 81.
This, of course, is the extreme limit
if brachycephalism. 1t makes the face
look like Iozenge, while the orbitai
apophyses connect with the cheek
bones.
No less interesting is the fact that
the Monaghan skull is generally phae-
nozygous, with it's zygomatic arch
more or less convex. Nevertheless,
a comparison of the nasal and maXil-
larry dimensions suggests a platyrrhin-
ian.
Although the dental arch is hardly
what you would call prognathous the
mandible has very angular symphy-
sis.
1t should be borne in mind that
while, as stated above, the Monaghan
skull is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
Turks head is only sub-brachycepha-
lous.
Because of intermarriage with the
Hos the Tonquin people are tall and
mesaticephalous; but the skull of the
ordinary Chinaman who comes to this
country, so far as its index IS con-
cerned, falls down to the grade of sub
dolichocephalism.
Not so much is known yet about
those other yellow people. the hairy
races of Kuriles, of Saghalien and of

winding and doubling course had been

as though with an idea that after play

rest, it could whisk into safety. A few
minutes after the fox dropped lightly
into one Of the creyices, two horses with
their riders crossed the space and came
to stop among the dogs.

they could look down into the valley. Her

the broad, fertile acres of the farm to
the lofty ridges that enclosed it on every
sid. No wonder you and your father
art so happy here"
Ills eyes left the valley and came back
to her with an expression in them that
made her turn away with half smile.
Allan Tisdale was a younger son, and
had come from England a year before,
with an income of C 900 and an idea of
making living with it in America. He
had been in the valley two months, and
in that time had learned things that
had not hitherto entered into his plans
for a livelihood. His hand trembled
slightly as it checked the restiveness of
his horse
Yes. it is beautiful here, and we are
very happy" she answered; but there
was trouble in her voice. Then, with
sudden raillery, you ought to be happy,

HOW One Farmer Prospered.

The Sussex IN. J.) Independent tells
of a farmer in that county whose check
would be good for $4,000, who has never
used a pound of feed that was not pro-
duced on his farm He raises all his own
live stock, with the exception of horses.
If he has not sufficient grain to carry
him through, he sells some of the stock
and thus keeps up with the game. He
sells his milk to a creamery, keeps just
what his farm will support in the way
of cows, raises his own pork, and always
has a cellar full of necessaries. He has
always farmed in this way, and has
never made less than $500 year clear
in his life He has always lived on the
same farm

The milk will separate best when first

The Retort Crushing.

The young man had pleaded eloquent
ly. But the sweet young thing had been
obdurate. Again and again he entreated
her to give him some room for hope.
But she said she would not. At last, as
his final plea, he said:
"You do not love me now, you say
you will never marry. You will not al
ways be young, though, to my eyes you
will always be beautiful. What of the
future?"
"As to that" she replied, ST cannot
say. For l can state with perfect truth
fulness, looking you straight in the
eyes, that have absolutely nothing in
view"
Gathering from this remark her esti-
mate of him, he arose, and. after care

INTRODUCTION OF SCREENS
Urged by Dairy and Creamery In
spectors as Protection Against
Flies and Germs.

Screens are now being extensively
used In the creameries managed by the
most progressive creamery men. We
notice that the dairy and food commls-
sioner in one of our western states
makes a report on whether screens are
used in the factories. As yet no totals
are possible, but the fact that the In
spectors are asking about this practice
will naturally call the attention Of
creamery managers to it. The reports
are published in the bulletins, and the
reports get back to the creamery men
by way of the press. This should be a
strong incentive to improvement along
this line.
The fly is not only carrier of disease,
but he is also a carrier of filth in many
forms 1t is surprising that all cream
cries and cheese factories have not been
long since provided with screens. Flies
gather by thousands wherever there is
creamery or cheese factory ana I'ter-
ally swarm over the butter, cheese al 4
into the milk and cream The writer
remembers being in a first-class dairy
school where flies were altogether too
numerous for comfort. Here and there
they were to be seen swimming in the
cream or buttermilk. In a "brick
cheese" factory visited by the writer
flies were present by the thousands and
were continually falling into the hot
whey and being pressed with the cheese.
The men did nothing to prevent this. 1t
may be assumed that they thought that
if the proprietor cared nothing about it,
there was no reason for them to worry
over the outcome, even if the flies did
reach final tomb in the pressed cheese.

Cows Like Good Mixers.

Cows often show marked preference
for one mixer over another. The
length of the finger nails may make
all the difference between one mixer
and another. 1t may also make all
the difference between a nervous or
kicking cow, and quiet, gentle one.
A good mixer will see to it that his
finger nails are kept well pared and
short. A cow should be as well pleased
to have her milk drawn as the owner
is to have the profits to be derived from
it.-Farm Journal.
