CLEANLINESS Is ESSENTIAL
Too Much Care Cannot Be Exercised
in Handling MIX, as Is Demon
strated by London Case.

In the handling Of milk, both for
home consumption on the farm and
also for shipment to the various mar
kets, too much care cannot be taken
in keeping 1t absolutely free from con-
tact with anything In which there is a
possibility Of being germs of disease.
The following paragraph amply illus
trates the deadly results Of careless
ness, and should be warning to all
who have to do with the handling OF
milk:
"A milkman near London pricked
his finger with a thorn. 1t festered,
but he refused to give up his work
until he was obliged to go into a hos
pital. At the same time an epidemic
of diphtheria broke out in the neigh
borhood, an epidemic which eventually
caused III deaths. The doctors were
at first at loss to trace the cause.
but presently they found that the
germs came from milk supplied from
the farm where the man with the
pricked finger worked. Then they ex-
amined the man and found that his
poisoned hand reeked with germs Of
this deadly disease"

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodation Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as winter
resort, offers an irresistible invitation
to artists, since 1t has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
ITS perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and Its lemon groves, came. some fifty
years ago. ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles OF
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
III any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommoda-
ton accorded to those paying the high
est price. -
If any German artist shall come
TO the inn he shall be accommodated.
and shall receive the amount of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. It's walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home

scription written by the famous Doc
tor Seguin. He presented it challeng-
ingly to young Perry.
"Can you fill that?" he asked.
YES" Perry replied.
The drugs called for were very rare,
and Mr.. Sweetser knew it.
Made a Host Of Friends.
Most of the drug clerks downtown
at that time took themselves very
seriously. They were pompous and
self-assured. Men like Sweetser found
1t a pleasure to deal with the kindly,
bashful young night clerk at Hudnuts.
What Is more, they went to Hudnut
and told him about it, but Hudnut kept
this fact to himself
There never was a drug clerk down
town who made so many friends as
Charles ]. Perry, or who had SO many
odd experiences, and no man has rea-
son to know more of the value or
courtesy. Once he had man come to
him In the early morning and put out
q handful of gold.
isn't it nice money! the man
asked.
"It is" Perry replied.
"Take it in your hand" said the
man.
Perry did so. When he expressed
his admiration again Perry started to
give the gold back.
mo, it's yours; keep 1t. You have
earned every dollar Of it for your kind
ness to me-" said the man, and walked
out.
Fer Is years Perry worked for Hud-
nut. The highest pay he ever received
there was 500 week. He had offers
innumerable from other druggists.
They offered him twice what he was
getting from Hudnut, and then, when
he declined that, asked him to name
his own price. Business men, big and
little, we're not slow to realize what
this modest, courteous man was worth
In business, and they suggested that
he open an establishment for himself,
and that they would back him. A
hundred such offers were made to him,
but he declined all OF them until Oc-
tober 6, 1886.
Opened His Own store.
Then the New York Sun came out
with big, first-page story with the
heading, Something New Under the
Sun. 1t told how Charles J. Perry, the
Little Father Of Park Row." had

cows FRESHEN IN THE FALL
Milk Flow Kept Up for Longer Period
and Produced During the Season
Of High Prices.
By w. FREEHoFF. wisconsin,

(By w. FREEHOFF. wisconsin,
For cows to freshen twice year
really sounds like nature taking, but
that is just what happens to cows that
freshen In the fall.
Good feeding and careful attention
keep up large flow of milk all win
ter; then in the spring when the green
heritage comes the rule, again the man.
ufacture of milk receives fresh stim-
illus.
Thus by fall freshening the milk
flow Is not only kept up for longer
period Of time than would otherwise
be the case, but the most milk is pro-
duced during the season Of highest
prices. In this lies the chief superb
ority of winter over summer dairying.
Cows that freshen in the spring dry
up quickly in the fall when the grass
is no longer present; few farmers take
good care Of dry cow during the
winter so that the next year the anil
NAL will be still less useful. Such de-
terioration in COW Is often greater
than the entire value Of her milk
products.
Then again, the cows need most
protection during the summer months
when labor may be used to better adj
vantage in the fields, while during the
winter months no labor can find en-
ployment. Summer dairying has abb
solutely nothing to commend 1t.
Feed is about the same price in the
summer as in the winter, while winter
labor is cheaper; this, with the in
creased price for winter products
makes winter dairying by far the more
profitable.

No one could be grumpy in his pres.
ence. He was treasure to Hudnut,
but Hudnut was awfully slow about
showing his appreciation.
Mr.. Sweetser Was Pleased.
One morning. at nearly eight o'clock,
an angry and impatient man came
bustling into the store. He wanted
five cents worth Of flag root. and he
asked in challenging voice If Perry
had the stuff. Perry smiling assured
him that he did. He wrapped up the
preparation. handed II and a check to
the man, smiled. and thanked him.
The visitor looked at him in amaze
ment.
Where do you come from?" he
asked. How did you get here?"
1t was a rough inquiry, but the
young man, in his bashful, quiet way,
told the gentleman In a few words
who he was and where he came from.
and then the gentleman told him he
was mighty glad to meet him.
Il went over to the drug store In
the Aston house to get this thing" he
said, "and l was insulted The fool
in that place told me sneeringly that
they did not sell five cents worth OF
anything. came over here ready to
fight, and you treated me like a gen.
tleman. am glad to know you, young
man."
Then the gentleman gave his card
to Perry. The gentleman was Mr..
Sweetser of the great firm Of Sweet
ser. Pembroke & Co. He was one OF
the greatest merchants of New York
and a millionaire many times over.
He felt so coed over the treatment he
had received in getting that five cents
worth Of flag root that he spent $1S
on toilet preparations before he left
the establishment. Next morning he
was at Hudnut's again. He had pre-

might rest herself. He carried the
child from Bowling Green to Vesey
street, and he was nearly exhausted
when he turned it over to its mother.
That taught him great lesson. Never
does a woman enter his establishment
now with a child in her arms or u
child by her side that he or a clerk
does not hurry forward with chair
for her to rest on. 1t is not only an
act Of courtesy and an act of kindness,
but good stroke of business, for he
knows, and every good retail merchant
knows, that once you get customer
to sit down, he or she feels from that
time forward that that store Is his or
hers.
A lot Of men have preached that po-
likeness costs nothing and Is the
soundest of assets. They are half
wrong and half right. Politeness is
an asset, but 1t often entails a sac
rifice.
The Perry Of today works just as
hard as the Perry of 1868. He has
the same faculty for making friends
and holding them. The Hendersons,
the Danas, the Reds, the Raymonds
have gone, but now and then you will
see the Brisbanes, the Wardmans, the
Reicks, the young Pulitzers, the Seitzs
and the other giants of metropolitan
Journalism in Perry's chatting with
the doctor.
Sticks to Old Customs.
He has done more acts of kindness.
more acts of charity and more acts OF
courtesy than probably any other man
in all New York. And he has done
them all modestly, bashfully. He
ssicks to old friends and old customs.

Astor house for more than score OF

cradle IL he were not busy or IL he were
ret polite. He will not live uptown
because It distresses him to see per
sons over-crowded and suffering In the
subway and In the 81" trains.
One OF the strangest things about
him is, that although he never wrote
an article in his life, and never worked
day on a newspaper, he has one OF
the finest senses for news Of any man
In New York. No one knows this bet
ter than James Gordon Bennett, fol-
twice Mr.. Bennett has offered the edi'
torship of the Herald to this modest,
5ashful man who has built up great
business on the rock OF courtesy.

who started business under Just such

who started business under just such
conditions as did Charles j. Perry.
The moneyed men associated with
him put up the money. He did not
have to invest one cent, but he got
controlling interest In the corpora
ton because of the trade value of his
courtesy.
That was queer drug store under
the SUM-" You had to go up three
steps to get into II. Such thing In
New York was unheard Of, but 1t made
no difference with Perrys friends.
He took nearly all the trade of Hudnut
with him. The gold mine was moved
from the Herald building to the Sun.
When the Pulitzer building was built
Perry became its first tenant. For
some years he conducted one estab-
lishment In the Sun building and one
In the World. Now he has just the
one In the Pulitzer building and pays
$4,000 rent for the space he occupies.
There IL not another drug store In
America like it. The business 1t does
Is immense. 1t does the largest soda
business in the world. There are
some other places that do as much
business within specified hours, but
Perry is open all the time.

He has not changed bit in manner
from the day he went into Hudnut's
as a soda water boy. He Is just as
modest, just as bashful, just as kindly,
just as courteous. No one ever has
known him to lose his temper. He Is
a student-a student Of the people.
He knows the retail business as few
men know 1t. Once, when he was a
boy, he saw woman carrying a babe
in lower Broadway. Perry was strong
