New York have .heretofore. compiled with V tfy ordinances' requiring a certain percentage of butter fata and total solids, the lack of 'preservatives and adulterants. But these things lu them selves are not enough. Beyond Ilea the greatest menace, that of dirt, disease, bacilli and high bacteria count, all of which this semi-opaque flukl conceals from the naked eye. There are nearly 2JH)0,000 quarts of fluid milk dis tributed in Greater New York, dally and it is conservatively estimated mat mis nuid contains upwards of GOO pounds of manure -and dirt loaded Witt disease, bacteria and foul matter and sediment About 1,000,000 quarts ere delivered in Dot-Jes, the balance .being in open cans. There are some 600,000 quarts of pasteurized milk delivered each day, 10,800 quarts of cerU- nea am, an 6,000 quarts of inspected milk. Prom this It appears that the -greatest amount of milk used is the ordinary raw product, gathered front ten 10 uiree nunurea ana tucy mile outside or New York, some of it on the rail ro.Md for twenty-four hours or more, and not properly cooled in transit; so that when it is received it is more fit for the sewer than the stomaoh of ih-..

I HOUGH Beethoven is called the father of the romantic school of instrumental music, the fathering, or as Rockstro says, "the Invention," of the romantic school of opera is credited to Carl Maria von Weber. Philip Spitta goes even farther: "Of., all the German musicians of the nineteenth century, none has ex ercised a greater influence over his own generation and that succeeding it than Weber. His influence wus even greater than that of Beeiboven." .. ' '! Weber's opinion of Beethoven was a strange mixture of contempt an4" reverence, some or his works he called chaos, declaring their composer to be nt for the madnouse." But "Fldello" was one of his reverences, and he conducted it with delight. He wrote to Beethoven In 1823: "Tbls mighty work is teeming with German grandeur and depth of feeling. Bach performance of it will be a festival to me." Weber wag born sixteen years after Beethoven, In 178C, and died one year earlier, at the ago of forty, bis last years being spent in a hopeless struggle against consumption. His motheir and Bather were traveling musicians, and his cousin was the Constant Weber whom Mozart married Weber wrote his first opera at twelve, and at thirteen ho composed an opera which was p'avrd in five cities. In early manhood he 'became a court musician at Stuttgart, and plunged into a whirl of dissipation. His opera I biirar.a was about to be produced wen he was dragged from a rehearsal aud thrown into prison on a charge of dishonesty. He was of this, but he and his father were shlpoed over the border life. It was the best thing that could have happened to the young Take. The shock and the disgrace mado a great man of him. HIS interrupted opera was produced successfully at Frankfo.1 the same year with lasting success. His future wife played the eouhrette part. From Smith's Magazine. The Tsar's Spy System in America .v Gustavus Myers, all our largo cities are colonies of Russian refugees. In New York city theru are at least 850,000 former subjects of the Tsar; of these fully 50,000 can be classified as distinct political refugees who, In more or less measure, were involved in the revolutionary movement. Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Boston and ninny other cities have their compact ctouds. On com ing hero the refugees do not in the slightest abate their efforts for a free government at home. On the contrary, having freedom Of action, tey redouble their activities. Many of them promptly become attached lo one or more of the various "Russian revolutionary sooietles which h-ave powerful organizations in th'is country. The Russian Revolutionary So ciety is one of these, - the Russian Social Democratic party another, the Bund a third, and the League of Friends of Russian Freed'om a fourth. In dditirn to these societies, gm.il! organizations or groups ore in militant existence. ' These societies .are a constant source of worrlment and fear to the Tsar ami his bureaucrats. With an a'most perfect system of underground correspondence with their fellow revolutionists in Russia and elsewhere, and possessing flie ability at all times to raise funds, ilan. campaigns and ac quaint the world, particularly America, with the appalling facta of what Is going on In Itussia, they cause the autocracy vastly more trepidation than an uprising of the populace in Russia itself. " . . - ' Hitherto the 'Tsar has been able to crush popular movements by his army, and believes that he can continue to succeed by force indefinitely. But the revolutionary societies in other countries are beyond the pale of his tru mod late many-eyed and many-armed jurisdiction. From the secrecy of their deliberations may come portentous events, culminating In his own' "re moval and the effacement of the whole autocracy. Even if this is unlikely, on thing Is certain. From the councils of the revolutionary societies there radiates a ceaseless flow of agitation which somehow reaches the remotest toamJots cf Russia; from their arcana go forth revolutionary missionaries and afnts on secret and momentous undertakings. And, s every one knows. agitation Is considered in Russia the climax of crimes. Hjrper's Weekly. WAGTAIL AND BABY. ' A baby watched a ford, whereto " . A wagtail cam for drinking; - .

In spite of reports to the contrary- H is denied that there' is any reajl basis for the belief that in undertak-J uig to investigate tne workings of the Government's secret agencies the Sen ate and House are making a fir3t step in the direction of causing trouble for the President. The Durnoan nf tha inquiries, It Is asserted, is to ascer tain and prevent further abuses by the Executive and not to place obsta cles in the way of the President in" performing his legitimate constitui uonai ana legal functions.
