Letter to Levitt Smith,
Holly Beach, N. J.

~
Dear sir: There are several ways of
cheating in milk. An old-fashioned
way is to water it. Nobody waters it
now. A better way is to take out the
cream-rich milk with the cream
taken out is as good as poor milk with
its cream all in.
But we needn't go into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your
customers.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with.
Good paint is as rare as good milk; for
human nature is much the same in
milk-men and paint men.
You are just and true with your
milk, so are we with our paint. Devoe
lead-and-zinc is twice as good as mixed
paints: There's twice as much butter
in it.
MI. j. Il. Ladd, Cheraw, S. G.,
writes:
"When Mr.. Evans painted his house
with Devoe, he figured on how other
paints covered and had enough left to
paint three large rooms. He Wa so
pleased that he has used Devoe on two
other houses.'
Yours truly,
f. w. DEVOE d Co,
36 New York.

A PerDetunI Christmnstide.

The solution of the social question
would be found in a perpetual
Christmastide, provided our generous
throughtfulness were not confined
merely to our own kith and kin. Let
us be assured that when the world
reaches up to the highest and holiest
conception of relationship it will dis
cover that there is but n family and
that the human brotherhood cannot be
divided into classes ~antagonistic to
each other. The reign of the golden
rule will be the true Christian millen-
mum.

Christmas in Spain begins with the
midnight mass, when the king and
queen mother, accompanied by the
grandees of the court, magniicently at
tired, go in state procession to the chap
ell royal of the palace in Madrid. On
Christmas morning the king and court
again attend mass in state, after which
the day is spent in merrymaking. Ia
the afternoon the alteration of the man
ger takes place, when a representation
of the scene in Bethlehem is unveiled
in the great hall of the palace. There
is also a Christmas tree, from which
Alfonso distributes gifts. Throughout
the ensuing twelve days the court is
all beneyolence and gayety, and every
great institution in Madrid shares in
the royal almsgiving. The festival
closes Jan. 6.

Newcomb, Chas. McWilliams and
Burgher VanHorn ~(re-elected). The

Speaking of church attendance in Arizona, W. E. Curtis says that the statistics are likely to surprise people. According to the latest census there are 163 churches lin operation, as my informant expressed it, with "a mem bership of 44,924, and property valued at S1,15O,0OO, exempt from taxation. because it is used for purposes of Wor- ship only. My informant tells me that twelve of the 163 churches did not re port either property or membership, which would increase the figures I have given you by 3 or per cent

During the discussion of the Philip pine tariff bill. Messrs E. M. Phelps of Windsor and J. H. Spear of Enfield, raisers of Sumatra seed tobacco, told of the trials which they, In common with other Connecticut farmers, had experienced attempting to produce a tobacco equal to Sumatra leaf, and pleaded with the committee not to en- danger the success of these expert 'ments for the benefit of an alien peo- pie. J. H. Waxelbaum of New York spoke at length on the experiments being conducted in Florida and Georgia with the growing of Sumatra deaf under shade. Hearenresents l firm who not only grow Sumatra in this country, but are the largest im- porters of this tobacco in the United States. He stated that within the past ten years his firm had spent approxi- mately s5.0OO,0O0 in dev.'oping their plantation at Amsterdam. Georgia, which they named after Amsterdam, Holland. the center of 9fe'Ns9nsatra toe -bdcco trade, and in purchasing Atobaceo from the farmers. They had about g. 900 acres under canvas for shade grown tobacco and a plantation of 25,- 900 acres. For next years crop of seed Havana tobacco for filler pur- poses. they had already contracted to pay IS to ? cents per pound, although the tobacco had not veen.b been planted, His firm was rlauting Sumatra seed in Florida and grew tobacco with and without shade from Havana aud Su- matra seed for various purposes.

turned on the need of brotherly effort. At this time the life of clerk was very hard one; the hours long, the work se- were, the pay such that generally 10 or 12 young men had to herd together in one room. The Young Mems Chris tian association was formed that some small fraction of social life might fall to the clerk as well as that he might come under the infu- ence of religious teaching. Its influence became most powerful, employers had their eyes opened to the fact that 1t was good policy to let the men have time for recreation; the condition of the clerk improved.
 Speaking of the growth of the work, a very interesting article in the New York Tribune says: At the present time this organization is taking into its fold not London clerks alone. but the members of every class and caste, of every trade and profession, and of every race. Its members who are students would populate a city of 45,O00 inhabit- ants. Its railroad men would form an army 72.000 strong. Its clerks and me- chanics. soldiers and sailors would form a procession of 100000 men, which, marching six abreast in close formation, would stretch over 2s miles. It has also among its members 5000 negro laborers in the southern states"
 Although the |. M. C. A. had iteorigin in England it has grown to its greatest strength in this country. Four-sevenths of the members are to be found In the United States. and seven-eighths of the associations property is here. The best equipped building belonging to the l.. M. c. A. is the one in New York, with it's great gymnasium. bowling alleys. tennis courts. it's roof garden. fine svimming-pool. every advantage for a young man in search of recreation and general improvement. As early as 1888 the physical culture side of the work received recognition. and nov. as the Tribune writer remarks. "a fuiI appre- ciation of life. association leaders say. is impossible unless one possesses also a sound and vigorous body And for this reason the Young Mems Christian ass0- cistion gymnasium has been placed on almost as important footing ss the Bible clsss-

and soul. And this feature of the wor]

and soul. And this feature of the work has added greatly to its popularity, en- listed the cooperation of many business men. In the Philippines, it may be of interest to learn, the association makes use of an outdoor gymnasium, which appeals nightly to the natives. And here we may mention the world distribution of members, let figures give the scope of the work. Associa- tion members in America number 400,- 900; in Great Britain, 1000; in Ger many there are 1O8,000 Y. M. c. A. men; S,650 Danes are enrolled; in Chi na there are 3.100; Japan, 2,755; in Ceylon. 1000; in Madagascar, 100, and 40 in Persia. The headquarters of the international association are located in this country, at New York.
 The work among railroad men has been markedly successful. From the early reading rooms and religious meetings. the early dormitories and restaurants, the work has grown to the proportions of that carried on by city associations. The work has spread to other industrial bodies, many em- ployers taking active part in its ex- tension. And we would not fail to mention the branch devoted to the boys-schooiboys, working boys and street boys. There are several build ings for the sole use of boys, many others have certain hours when boys are admitted to the association priv iieges. Tn Birmingham, England, fine work is done in the physical depart ment for the factory lads, whose la bors make necessary corrective exer- cises.
 The religious and educational work has from the first. as is we'll known, been most important part of the benefits. There are lectures, clubs, classes and very thorough study of the Bible. The Y. M. c. A. has done much to take away the reyroech that mod erns know little of the Bible of their fathers.

FORTY PIES A MINUTE.
Pittsburs Man Invents Machine to Put
Bakers Out of Business.

pittsburg, Aug S--Nice. sweet, juicy
pies the kind that mother used to
make, are to be turned out by Puts
burs, man at the rate of forty every
minute, or $4,000 every ten hours. The
mar who is to accomplish this wonder
full thing is Ell. Sons. a baker, who has
lust invented a machine which Will
work these wonders, and at the same
time do away with piepans and ths
regulation oven. One machine with
such a capacity can be handled by
three men, who will take the places
of 100 bakers.
The machine will work on much the
same principle as a waffleiron, and II
was from that instrument that Mr..
Sons got his idea. The machine con-
tains great endless chain like waf-
fliron, except that the cups" are IN
shape of a round pie. A man Will
stand at one end of the machine and
fill the cups" with dough.
They will pass thru a furnace which
will partly bake them before reaching
the man who will supply the filing
Then third will put the Lids" on
and the pies will pass through another
furnace and come out ready for the ia
BILE. Mr.. Sons has completed one OF the
machines and says that it works per-
fectly. The variety Of pies baked at
one time is without limit.
