PLANS DISTRIBUTING DIARIES
Health officer Woodward Makes
Suggestion 10 Obtain Pure MIX.

In connection with the problem of OBJ
tanning pure milk for infants, the estab-
lishment of number of distributing
dairies at which certified milk can be
purchased is under consideration by
Health Officer w c. Woodward. The
undertaking has met with success in
Rochester n. Y. and Providence. r. L.,
and it is believed will meet with the ap-
proval of the commission which now has
under consideration the Improvement of
the milk supply of the DISTRICT.
To establish such deiries it yin be nee
essary TO raise a fund by public sub
scription. but the cost of the undertaking
Will not be large, and once established. it
Is thought they can maintain themselves.
Il is pointed out by Dr. Woodward that
whatever may be done ultimately with
respect to the establishment of a muni-
cipal dairy. IL will be impossible to have
such an establishment in operation this
summer.

CALLED JUDGMENT OF GOD.
Thfefs Death at Hands Of Chit
Whose Parents He Had Robbed.

The New York Sunday Worlds
correspondent in Budapest sends IL
the following account of recent
tragedy in the village of Kaposyar.
Hungary:
1anos Verga, stock farmer. sold
some oxen for 900 crowns and con.
cealed the money in his house.
Ferenez Gal. ne'er-do-well of the
village, knew of this transaction and
determined to get the money. He
watched the house until he saw
Varga and his wife leave 1t. Then
he entered and had no difficulty in
finding the money. which he pock-
'eted.
AS he was about to leave he no.
ticed sitting in a corner, staring ST.
lently and intently at him, the Vargas
six-year-old daughter. Realizing that
she had watched his theft, he deter.
mined to get I'd of this witness
against him. He threw rope over a
beam in the ceiling and tied a moose
in one end of it. Picking up the little
girl. he tried to persuade her to put
her head into the moose, saying it was
a nice game.
How" she asked.
"Tll show you," said the robber,
laughing.
Gal put down the little girl, drew up
chair, stood upon it and put his
head through the moose.
Like this" he said, again laugh
ing. is If it was all game he was
playing with the girl.
The child pulled the chair away
suddenly; the robber fell, his neck
in the moose and was strangled to
death.
The child watched her victims
death struggles until they ceased,
then went outside to await for her
parents. When they returned she
took them to the room where the
dead thief still dangled and told
them in great glee what had taken
place. The 900 crowns were found
in the pockets of the robber and the
six-year-old child is now the heroine
of the village, where the event is
called Judgment OF God"

New Orleans cities of the Dead.

New Orleans has several miniature
cities within its boundaries, and they
are the cities of the dead said
Louis w. lie Branc of the Crescent
City.
Il mean," he explained, that every
cemetery in New Orleans is a minia-
ture city. They are built above the
ground and laid out in streets, Just
as the larger city. Every house is of
marble and some of the tombs are
miniature. In them are buried many
men who won fame under the domin-
ion of Spain and France. In them, too,
are to be found inscriptions that tell
of sweet Creole romances, such as
that of Jeanne I.aclede, the popular
singer of nearly century ago, who
died Of q broken heart.
Certain days are set apart, accord
ing to the old French Catholic GUS
tom Sar visiting these miniature cit
les, and on these days they are crowd
ed all day long. AS they were built
so long ago they are now in the CEN
ter OF the city and at night low weird
indeed. Long ago it was found neces-
sary to build the cemeteries above the
ground, because of the fact that the
city itself is below the level of the
Mississippi river"
