floor is very unsatisfactory because it
is not durable, does not dry quickly,
collects filth, and when wet is slippery
and hard to work n. The floors
should have a good slope leading to
drains fitted with proper traps.
Water supply.-An abundance of
clean, cold, running water is neces-
sary. If the location is such that wa
ter from a municipal water system
cannot be supplied, it may be obtained
from an elevated tank or by means of
a compressed air system.
Equipment.-The dairy house equip
ment depends largely upon the pur-
pose for which the house is to be used.
A boiler rs the most convenient means
of furnishing steam and hot water for
washing and sterilizing ans and uten-
sils. An upright boiler of two to four
horse power will serve the purpose.
The washroom should contain a
sink having a drain board. The drain
board may be fitted with steam and
water connections so that the can and
pals can be rinsed and steamed after
they are washed. 1t is desirable to
have draining racks for cans and pals,
and a closet in which to keep utensils.
Every dairy house should have a Bah
milk testing outfit, which may be
either hand or steam driven. Further
equipment will depend upon which of

Patterns.

Americans find it more difficult than
the English to understand what Dick
ems means when he says in "Da-
vid Copperfeld: women went
clicking along the pavement in pat
tens" Pattens were an abbreviated
form of stills. The word is also
used by builders as the name Of the
base of a column or pillar, and so,
architecturally, the pattern is the sup
port used by a woman TO keep her out
of the water and mud. From this
architectural use has come the second
airy application of the word, meaning
IN arrangement attached to the shoe,
so that the walker is raised three or
four inches above the solid earth. If
the mud and water did not exceed that
depth, the shoes were thus kept fairly
dry. 1t appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich, but were luxu-
ries INDUCED in by the very poor. In
speaking of a person who was
not especially speedy, Ben JOnson uses
the comparison, "You make no more
haste now than a beggar upon pat
tens" In the ballad of Farmers Old
Wife" occurs this startling exprosSi0n
"She up with her pattens, ana beat
out their brains"

RECEIPTS DIVIDED PRO RATA
Peculiar System of Remuneration for
Members of the New York Phil
harmonic Society.

In New York they recently celebrat,
ed the se%venty-fifth anniversary of the
oldest symphony orchestra in America.
Some interesting financial chapters in
its history have been brought to light.
Members of the Philharmonic society,
says the New York Tribune, used long
ago to divide the receipts pro rata, the
conductor being rewarded by a certain
number of shares of the earnings. Mr..
Thomas, in the hey-day of the society's
success, was content with nine shares,
and so, we believe, was Mr.. Seidl, who
succeeded him. The shares were as
low as $17.50 in the seventh season,
and If a member was prevented from
playing, the fee for his substitute was
deducted from his share. 1t therefore
sometimes happened that a member
would find that fines for n~onattendance
and the cost of substitutes had eaten
up all his dividend and left him debtor
to the society. The dividend table
shows high water mark to have been
reached in the f~fty-fourth season,
when each member received 1894 for
his services in playing at six evening
concerts and six afternoon public re-
h%earsals, as they were called. The fig
ure rose to $926.16 in the sixty-third
season, in which, however, the regular
number of concerts was eight, with the
same number of preceding afternoons.
The quaint old system ended with
the death of Anton Seidl.

Adding Insult to Injury.

Old John Gargoyle lived only for his
garden. 1t was to him what a growing
son is to other men.
At the end of it stood a telephone
post, and the other morning Gargoyle
watched with feelings of horror a tele-
phone mechanic climb his back wall.
He descended into the garden, bring
ing with him a dozen loose bricks, and
fell full length into a bed of sweet
peas.
He picked himself up, dragged a
heavy ladder across a patch of lettuces
and dropped 1t into a cucumber frame.
Then he took a short cut, in his hob
nailed boots, across some vacant beds
where many precious bulbs were in

Finally, after slipping I've a clump

lar about us trespassing on private
ground where we have fixtures. Can l

CITY MANAGERS Proved.

There are now 40 municipal officials
In the United States who are styled
"city managers" under the new com
mission-manager form of government.
They are the professional chief execu-
tives of their respective municipalities,
each with appointive power over the
city's entire administrative establish
ment. They are not popularity elected,
but hired for reason of fitness and for
an indefinite tenure by a small elected
commission of five local men. Gen
orally speaking, three years of trial in
a variety of towns have proved that
the new plan furnishes a battle-ground
for democracy that makes the I'M
modified citizenry unusually effective

m~inistratiOn which it offers is usually
grasped.

He had slowed up his gait, his head
turned to take another glance at the

There was something to admire in the

Deane had inherited the big plant

the Professor" came into sight.

"Why, you ought to remember him.,

Mans Duty to His Community.

The man who makes money in a
community has a duty to perform 10
that community. 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the ase. If his gifts are
great his responsibility is equally as
great. No mar was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making money.
and the man who has this as his ideal
had better never have been born. 1t
is not an act of charity, but the per-
Torrance of a simple duty, for the
a who has made money to pass a
little of it on for the benefit of the

~ is impossible to draw Il plan of a
dairy house hat will meet the re-
quirements of every individual case. In
order to design a plan properly, it is
necessary to know the size of the herd,
how the product is to be disposed of
whether as whole milk, cream, or
butter), the location of the barn, well,
etc. However, there are a few general
principles that should be followed in
the building of any dairy house.
Observation-Disclosures the dairy house
should be near enough to the barn to
be convenient, it should not be directly
connected with the barn because it is
then likely to be filled with stable
odors which are absorbed by the milk
or cream. 1t is well to leave an open
air space of six TO ten feet between the
barn and the dairy house. Placing the
dairy house on the side of the barn
opposite the %barnyard also lessons the
chance of stable odors being absorbed
by the milk. Proper drainage from
the dairy house is important and must
be considered when selecting the loca-
ton.
Construction.-The building material
may be drop siding, brick, or concrete,
depending upon the investment the
builder desires to make. The inside
walls should be smooth. Plastered
walls are preferable since board walls
have a tendency to rot, especially close
to the floor. Rotting can be obviated
to a certain extent by plastering the
walls up to a height of about three
feet.
The building should be so parti-
toned that the milk room, wash room,
and boiler room are separate. The
rooms should be well lighted by win
dOws, and ventilation should be sup
piled by an opening placed in the cell
ing of each room. Each ventilator
should be fitted with some sort of
damper to regulate it's action.

sential. A cement floor meets these

sulation it is best to use two layers
and break the joints in each direction.
A slush coat of cement plaster should
be put in between the two layers and
the outside, covered with cement plas-
ter. The doors should be tight-fttlng
and well-insulated. The ice bunker
should be placed in the upper part Of
the refrigerator and the air shafts
should be so constructed as to obtain
a good circulation of air. The illus
tration shows the proper method of
insulating a refrigerator and also the
construction necessary to give the
proper circulation of air.
The milkrOom should have some
sort OF cooler for cooling the milk rap
idly to n temperature below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. As the milk is put into
the cooler supply can it may be
strained through cotton outing flannel
or through absorbent cotton held be-
tween cheeseclOths.
y separator should be installed also
for skimming surplus milk or to sup
ply cream for the cream trade.

HOSPITAL ALONG NEW LINES
New York Institution That Will Be
Devoted Exclusively to Cases
Calling for Diagnosis.

There is soon TO be established in
New York the first %diagnOstic hospital

the highly specialized medicine of to-
day the function of the old family ply

suffering from an unidentified ailment,

and direct him to a specialist If he can
afford it. If not, he will be sent back
to the general practitioner under whose

half an hour later, and Deane turned
from his desk to discover Turley.
In the face and manner of the unin-

warned Deane that his mission was a
deadly one. Turley had in his hand a

The villain made a forward lurch.
There was a scream. Its strangeness
stirred Deane almost as much as had
the appearance of his assallant. Then
new wonder was added as the watch
mar came through the open doorway,
and, throwing both arms about Turley,
caused the knife he held to fall to the
floor.
Deane caught a 1eeting glimpse of q
red %bedabbled hand under the watch
man garb, and he sprang to his feet
as an agitated voice spoke out breath,
lessly.

Deane reached the button near at

of a cleaning revolver. The hand that
held it shook, but Turley stood at
bay.
Clangl clangl clang! rang out the
strident peal that would soon bring
half a thousand workmen to the
scene, assigning fire or riot as the
cause of the alarm.
Half a dozen men rushed into the
room a few minutes later. They seized
Turley at the direction of Deane. The
office cleared. Deane turned towards
the Waterman.

in amaze.
For his valiant rescuer had gone
down to the floor and lay there inert.

ter.
He lifted her in his arms and placed
her in n chair.
He felt a conscious tinge of unfair

chating the nerveless hands of the
beautiful girl. More than ever was he
drawn closer to the brave creature
who had saved his life. He wrapped
her bleeding hand, cut by The knife,

"And but for that, what might have

were two true loving souls more COM
