The enforcement-of good sanitary conditions a!* ut cows supplying citv and town consumers of milk is tnainlv within the ■ control of boards of health. No persons, j however, should have greater interest in this matter than the consumers themselves, i If the patrons of pemma supplying consumers with milk, would visit the farms and stables from which their milk is derive!, they would be able to ascertain reasonably well if the sanitary conditions : are favorable,or nut to a healthy **r wholesome milk. Perm its giving milk to young children, certainly should examine into the x*une of it. If this we*e tione by more parents, the mortality each summer among

young children would be far k-s*. Kwry progressive, intelligent, fair-mind-ed milk producer. wiil wvicpru* nix msjwvii a of hi' as, and dairy, by h.> •, patrons. The man who does not. is not a i >*fe one to buy milk from. Consumers should put a premium on the character of the milk supplied them, and should in evcrv Way possible encourage the efforts of the dairyman who endeavors to place the best article ou the market. Within very recent years some dairymen have begun to sell milk which has been I handled with eitra care, to insure a high grade purity and whoiesomeucss.■ This is sometimes called “certified milk,’* due to the fact that the producer certifies as to the feed and character of his cows, and the ■ handling of the tifilk. (Hhers “pasteurize" '; or beat to a certain temperature their milk j or creaiu, to destroy or injure disease germs, i if any perchance ueeur in it. At one fine dairy m Indiana, all the milk is sprayed I through ferilized air and then made very cold in an air-tight chamber* after which it ; is bottled. Those improved methods of preparation \ are bound to become more couimou each

year, from the very fact, if for no other, that they receive the endorsement of the intelligent physician. Our consumers should, ; encourage this production. Progressive , dairymen, selling pure, high grade' milk, should be encouraged. The consumers should show their appreciation of their; efforts. One, however, cannot overestimate the importance of consumers familiarizing ; themselves with the source.of their milk, and its surroundings and insisting that conditions, be of a high sanitary character.

The Treasury Deficit. At the close of business last Saturday, | the last business day of the month, the gold j reserve in the treasury amounted to $153,-' 551.SU. which is by a few thousand dollars , the highest point recorded since November, ; 1390. The deficit for the month was $9,323,633, i or #1.019.725 greater for the deficit for the ; same month last year. The total receipts for the month were #2-4.390,347, while for October.

Born in the pink of a balmy spring morn* in.: ami nursed bv a genial sun, it grew with surprising rapidity. Its life was short, yet it lived to rustle its congratulations to the youth and maiden who plighted their troth beneath its home, and when old age sat upon the mossy bank o'er which it drooped it joined in the soj>orific chorus of its companions. It sheltered the robin and its young from the blast which made the old oaks creak, and shielded their eyes from the vivid thunderbolts darting o'er head. It had heard the merry laughter of the children at play, and hail been sung to sleep by the night bird in the gloomy choir loft qf the stately oak. When the days began to shorten the uorth wind and the imp w ith frosty heard squeezed it until it was black and blue and the sun tinted its skirts with a fiery red. Thus it lived, until1 one night it rustled and shivered a feeble song to. the moon and stars and then fell to the earth with a dewy tear stealing down its breast. It was the death of an autumn leaf. The water has gone down in the five acre hole leaving in full view a heap of rubbish. The bottom ofone of the cars wms in sight the fir"* of the week. ITidei this heap euros:ty seekers would like to take a peep. The railroad officials have a reputation of doing every thing in their power to find those who went down in that great rush of! waters, they stopped their work to help in; the search, when the road was loosing' thousands of dollars each day; their efforts j were fully appreciated, and coulil hardly be! expected to do anything more toward find- ] mg those who were lost; yet while filling1 this big hole, a last effort could be made by ■ going through this pile of debris before it ] is covered up.—Hazleton Herald

“During this season the boys in the reform school at Plainfield have made and burned 40O.UOO bricks, and by their own labor erected a new school building of six rooms. Twenty-two boys learned to be good bricklayer?-; twelve others became good plasterers, and eighteen boys did the carpenter work. Under the law whe half the annual cost of keeping a boy at the reform school i» born by the counties from which boys come. This makes the east to the county of each boy $60 a year. This is the season of the year when the fond mother appears at the school house with her angel boy and informs the teacher that the said angel is very high-spirited and must uot be whipped; that he can be ruled ever so much better by kindness arul kisses. The teacher half-way promises that he will at least try not to ait him on the tender spots where his wings are sprouting. _*&._ Delays Arc Dangerous. . Many of your friends, or people whom you know of. tiave contracted consumption, pneumonia or other fatal diseases by neglect of a siugle cold or cough. Foley’s Honey and Tar, a safe, sure and pieasaut cough medicine, would have saved them. It is guaranteed, lkrgeu <x Oliphant. u
