Dairy aad Food Commissioner EN-,
cry, is much encouraged these days
by the character of the reports he is
receiving from his assistants and
agents, who have commenced their
spring campaign of inspecting cheese
factories and creameries.
Between the fourth of July and
Christmas of last year, all the cheese
factories, creamerias and Swimming
stations of the state, 1858 in all, were
inspected with view to notifying the
management as to the laws requiring
cleanliness and TO the securing OF
compliance with those laws. Some
thing over so prosecutions were made
within the time mentioned for the
maintenance Of unclean factories.
Reports now being received by the
commissioner make it clear that the
progress that has been made in the
matter of cleanliness and Sanitary
conditions Is little less than reyolu-
tionary. 1t is not claimed that the
millennium has been reached, but It
is gratifying that he improvement in
cleanliness and sanitary conditions
is so unmistakable and radical

wild horse would be novelty, but
they seem to be plentiful up in
Oregon. The Oregonian states that
during the present month there is to
be rounding" OF about $4,000 wild
horses in Douglas county. They have
multiplied till they have become a
real pest, and ii is proposed to EN-.
ploy four hundred cowboys to corral
them and rid the settlers of what is
a great evil. What seems still more
strange Is the further statement that
these animals are all to be killed.
They are n breed OF horses that for
many years have run wild, constantly
deteriorating in quality untamed and
untamahle, and the object in view is
10 rid the range OF these droves OF
grass consumers as work Of neces-
sity. We presume the hides will be
saved and that is all, but to us such

cruel but wasteful. They are not

A fortnight later Lucy was return
ing from rather lengthy rambe.
She had companion, one of the
school. girls, this being the universal
holiday, Saturday afternoon, and they
both carried basket full of roots and
leaves; for whenever Lucy Went
out she managed to bring home some
thing for planting in the little gar
den of which she and Leslie were so
fond and proud.

she added: "'rhere!"
"You must let me carry this Jenny.
because we shall have to hurry all
we know. It will never do to go in
wet through. What would Miss
Leslie say"
This formula, which she found of
great service when admonishing the
children, lent speed to Jenny's small
feet, and Lucy and she hurried along
the road. But as quickly as they
went, the rain caught them up, and
presently 1t came down in n torrent,
Jenny laughed, and Lucy, being
rather careful of her clothes and in
clined to take matters seriously, was
constrained to laugh too.

Jenny leaned against the tree and
amused herself by twisting spray

again; and Lucy was rapidly sinking
into that semi-lndiiferent, semi.
despairing condition which such cir.
cumstances produce. when she heard
the rattle OF cart coming along the
road.

GAPoN IN CHURCH PRISON.
Friends Claim He Was not Killed by
RevoIutionists.

st. Petersburg, April 25.-,Friends
of Father Gapon claim to have infor.
nation that the ex-priest has fallen,
not into the hands OF the revolution
lists, but into those of the holy synod,
which condemned him for fprsaking
the priestly orders to indefinite i'm
prisonment in one Of the many
gloomy monasteries used by the
church as prisons. The most famous
of these is the monastery of Solovietz,
on an island in White Lake, in the
far north, where the metropolitan
Philip was imprisoned and killed in
the sixteenth century. There have
been many other cases of men being
immured and disappearing forever.
Father Gapon's common law wife, it
is alleged, petitioned the synod to
name his prison and for mitigation of
the sentence.
