ination with the bacteria or other ele-
ments of disease in the atmosphere.
By dairymen thruout the country the
experiments at the Pierce ranch have
been watched with a great deal of in
terest, and the announcement several
days ago that Mr.. Pierce and his as
sistants had pronounced the machines
a success has brought several dairy
experts here to personally watch the
new milking operations at the River
side ranch. The greatest advantage
and the one that the experts turnout
the world have been trying to secure
thru the medium Of milking machine
is that of absolute cleanliness.
Unless the most rigorous conditions
of sanitation are maintained milking
by hand carries with it the constant
danger Of infection of the fluid by
bacteria. Even when the most careful
order prevails at a dairy there is al
ways likelihood of bacteria getting
into the milk, either from the hands
of the mixer, possibly from the COW
itself, or perhaps from a gust of wind
or disturbances in the atmosphere. By
the use of the new MACHINE, however,
it is claimed that this danger is elm
mated, in that the milk passes direct
" from the COW into closed can.
From this can the milk is transferred
to porcelain cats, thence to the sep
arators and from them to cold storage.

AN OLD INDUSTRY.

There are many curious sights in
large city like New York, but few are
more interesting than the strange
underground places where, with artii-
eial light and poor ventilation, various
industries are carried on with quite as
much success as at the more aristocratic
.even with the sidewalk business
stands, writes Harriet Quimby in Les
lies Weekly.
One of the most unusual features in
this line is the professional dish-lender,
who holds forth i'll a large cellar In the
thick of the East Side Ghetto. AS the
caterer with his supply of cut-glass,
linen and china is to the moderately
rich, so is the dish-lender to the hospit-
ably inclined among the wage-earners
on the lower rungs of the social ladder.
The Gimly-lightcd place, which is the
basement of a six-story tenement, is
provided with a row of shelves upon
which are tastefully displayed tea and
dinner sets of all eolors and patterns.
A large box divided off into compart-
ments holds knives and forks, spoons
and few odds, including oyster and
ice cream forks for the occasional Gus
toner whose slim purse does not quell
the love for style. This curious bust
ness place has the patronage of over
thousand families, not only in the
quarter, but in different parts of the

Another advantage-and one that
naturally appeals to all dairymen-is
that Of economy, which is accomplished
in the new machine, for one man takes
the place of six at a dairy, the ma
chimes having capacity of six sep
arate mixers, which are in charge OF
one man, who carefully watches the
progress of the milking to avoid over.
milking of the cows.
When the machines were installed ut
the Riverside ranch the question of
motor power was an important matter
for consideration. Several of Mr..
Pierce IS friends suggested gasolene
engine, and he was preparing to fol-
low their advice, when he suddenly
spotted one of his prize bulls proudly
strutting around his corral.
By Jove! I've got better idea,l'
he exclaimed. 'sWhat is the matter
with engaging the services of those
bulls for needed powera'
His friends doubted the feasibility
of his scheme, but he was more con-
fident Of it's success, and week later
he had ordered treadmill, which is
to serve as means of motor power
for his milking apparatus.
And so it came about that his ma
esty the bull has been called from
his aristocratic environments and
forced to labor as he has never laborel
before.

iudIIeTS. aas
For more than thirty years ambitious
inventors and government officials who
are connected with the dairy and ami
NAL department of their respective
states have been striving to originate
some: kind Of mechanism that would
successfully milk COW, but without
any good results until recently. About
ten years ago machine was put TO
an experimental test in the east, but
proved an utter failure by reason of
the fact that it MIXED the cows dry
and not only injured the animals but
also the dairy interests.
From the general mechanism Of that
machine, however, new ideas were OBJ
tanned and eventuated in the present
vacuum, pump machine, which has. al
ready entered into practical service on
the Pierce ranch, where there exists
the largest herd of Holstein cattle in
the world. The vacuum pump is a
simple arrangement connecting with
the pail, that acts as a receptacle for
the milk as it comes from the COW.
From this pail there extends rubber
tubes that are connected with the COW s
.udders by means Of rubber nipples, SO
flexible that the operation of the pump
causes them to extend and contract
in a manner that brings the milk free
ly from the COW and transmits it to
the pail without danger Of contain

| In 1853 Commodore Perry arrived with
an American fleet and a treaty was
finally entered into which opened the
country to foreign intercourse. Japan
was ripe for the change. While there
was at first an antiforeign sentiment
which affected domestic politics., and
at one time resulted in an attack upon
a foreign vessel the assimilation of
western civilization was rapid and
constant. Young men began to go
abroad, foreign teachers were sent for,
and the Japanese people began to
manifest a wonderful aptitude for the
adaptation of foreign ideas to local
conditions. The army and navy were
reconstructed upon European models,
and a public school system largely
like our own was established. as

In this case the usurer compelled the

reached the, to them, enormous sum
Of 35 yen (or $17.5O). The righteous
judge confscated the house Of the

deemed the woman. BY the aid of
missionaries, under the leadership Of
Rev. Murphy of Nagoya, legislation
has been secured making it unlawful
for girl to be retained in one OF
these houses against her will, and
many have already been rescued. AS
the taking of a concubine is a matter
of record, it is possible for the news
papers to acquaint themselves with
domestic relations of prominent men,
and some Of the papers have assisted
in creating a public opinion against
concubines. The custom is certain to
give way before the advance of western
ideas.
1.-THE Great Commoner' of Japan.
:; One of the foremost leaders in the
elevation Of woman was Yukichi Fuku-
| zawa, one of the greatest, as well as
one Of the most influential, of the men
who have appeared in Japan. He
was a Journalist, an educator, an ora
tor and q philosopher. He. refused to
accept: any titles or decorations, and
was called ':The Great Commoner. D.
He founded college, the Keio-Gijuku
to which many of the public men trace
their ideals and their interest in ma
tional questions and social problems
He delivered the first public speech
made in Japan, for, strange as it may
seem, the habit of public speaking
does not reach further back than TWEEN
ty-three years. Until constitutional gov
eminent was formed there was no place
for the forum. Shortly before his
death, Mr.. Fukuzawa reduced his phil
osophy to the form Of a code of NOR
ais which has made a profound i'm
preston upon the thought of his coun
try. He presented independence ant
self-respect, as he defined them, a
the cardinal tenet Of personal morals
and living He insisted upon thu
care of the body, the training Of thu
mind and the cultivation of the mora
nature. He was one of the first t,

self by violence of his own life, must
be said to be guilty of an act inexeus-
able and cowardly, as well as mean,
and sentirely opposed to the principle
Of independence and self-respect.
Concerning women, his code of
morals says: "The custom of regard
ing women as the interiors of men
is a vicious relic of barbarism. Men
and women of any enlightened coun
try must treat and love each other on
a basis of equality, so that each may
develop his or her own independence
and self.respect.'
When this great man died in 1901 his
widow was in receipt of letters. from
many women expressing their apprecl-
alton cf his labors in behalf of tire
| wcnion NJ Japan Some Of these are
reproduced in a life Of Mr.. Fukuzawa,
recently issued, and show the deep
gratitude which the women feel toward
Ejrl. It is also interesting to know
that Mr.. Fukuzawa believed IN the
dignity Of labor, and taught that each
person should be can Independent
W ,rker besides being his own bread
| winrer.'' While he taught patriotism,
he also taught that the people of all
nntloDs care brethren, and that "no
| discrimination Should be made in deal

The emperor sent him, just before
