There ere three ways in which tho
Lonaat milkmen of Boston adulterate their
milk. They dilute it .with water, they
motor: it with annotto' or caramel, and they

the improved means for deteoting fraud
having put a atop 10 the wholesale adulter-

The eontraotore are doing eomething to
improve the average quality, the milk. prc-
daoers' union is doing something, and all
the agitation of the question tendo to
educate the farmers and dairymen to take
hotter care of the oowe and their yield.
The great temptation comes to the milk -
span of moderate honesty,,wh¢r;, for some
'reason, the supply' is poor ore insufficient.
'When hie demand is 50 cans, and his supply
is only 25, the dealer, unless he is strictly
honest, is inclined to " make" 25 Dane,
and the result is a rather " wet"
artiole. But the addition of 40 or 50
per cent. of water ie more rarely attempted

vative.
Some men are dishonest under any oir•
oumetanoee, and when such a one is dieoov•
ered he is prosecuted and fined until he.
gives up the business in disgust. Mr.
Jordan says that, from what he knows
of the system of inepeotion in use in
other cities he
believes that the purity
of Bdeton's milk is exceptionally well pro-
tected.
Ona of the trioke which the inspector
Ise exposed is the box for storing adulter-
ated milk, under' the driver's seat. One
milkman was suspected of having ranch a
xeceptaole, but the colleotor could not, for
comet time, find any way to, get into it,
lentil' a secret spring was pressed. The'
'et elector then seamed a sample of the milk,
that proved to be adulterated.
Other milkmen will pile cane containing
good milk all around those holding the
watered article. They are aware that the
collector, not knowing tbatthey are crooked,
will not be likely to take samples of all the
:sane in the waggon, and therefore they risk
the ohencee of detection. By moving the
Grans about the collector eometimes gets
good and bad samples from the ' same
waggon, - and the owner ie caught just as
badly as though he had watered it all.
A clever swindler was recently discovered
'through the milkmau'a own carelessness.
Ho was aconstomed to carry,in his waggon
one can of milk very deeply colored. Before
sealing milk from the other cane he would
pour off the cream and fill up the wins with
the heavily colored mixture. One day, by
anistake, he left the can of colored milk at
a customer's This was too evidently doc-
tored to deceive anybody, and an investiga-
tion was made, in the course of which the
real nag of the mixture was disoovered.
The law requires that the vessel in which
or from which ekimmei milk is sold mast
he plainly marked tlkimmed milk," but
aonie milkmen have a way of violating
this law. When met by the collector the
cane of skimmed milk are labelled as re.
ill -aired. The collector sees that they are
so marked,' and that is all he can do, bat
the Dealer, when he starte to deliver tbe
milk, takes off the label and sells the milk
as sgnara. The only way the colleotor can
catota such a man is to intercept him be-
tween his waggon and his customer.
Inapeotor Harrington has as his assist-
ants throe collectors, a chemist and a
clerk. A horse and waggon have been
added to his equipment within the
past fow months. Early in the
.morning, perhaps as early as 1 or. 2
o'clock, the inspectors start for the dia-
triots to whioh they have been aesigned the
might before, their visits to different locali-
ties being purposely, made irregular that
they may be the less suspected. They for-
rnerly went on foot, witha satchel contain-
ing their sample cans, but guilty milkmen
became
TDB LAW OF LErricb?.
What the Courts of Justine ]Hold Regard-
ing r5pistolery Corroapoudenee.
'The law of letters, though it has not in-
frequently Neon decided in the courts jus-
tice, is generally misunderstood by the
public, who (the London Queen says) imag-
ine that the property in a letter rests en-
tirely, in the first instance, with the person
to whom it is sent, and that he may do
precisely what he likes with it—keepit or
barn it, lend it or hoard.it, sell it or be
queath it, copy it for private use or pub-
lish it for his own pecuniary advantage or
the amusement of his readers and the lov-
ers of personal gossip and general' scandal.
But although these etatementeexpress the
very general opinion on the subject, they
by no means represent the law of the case,
which deals in a very definite manner
with the property in lettere. The
very paper on which a letter
is written, unless it is of the nature
of a deed' or contract, receipt for value
received, or acknowledgment of debt, or in
some sense a legal document,. snit remains
the property of the writer, and if it again
passes into his ,possession bonen refuse to
return it, and cannot be compelled to do so.
It may interest a not inooneiderable portion
of oar readers to know that love -letters,
having reverted to the poseeesion of the
writer, cannot -lea reclaimed,
'An amusing illustration of the right of
property in letters odeurred before the
benohers of one of the *woof court. A
barrister was moused of diahonorablo 'con-
anot, the chief evidence againat him being
a letter which he himself had written. At
the court of inquiry into his conduct he did
not admit writing . any enols document.
When the letter was handed to him, and he
was asked if it was his writing he replied
in the affirmative, and, folding up the
letter, placed it in his own pocket. Threat•
ened with arrest, hie reply was that he was
desirous ofthepresence of a constable to
protect him in the possess -ion of his own
property. He knew thelaw better than
bis opponents, and retained possession of
the incriminating document. The quos -
tion may be waked as to the rights of the
receiver of a letter. Thera is no doubt that
the holder may burn or ,otherwise destroy
any letter, or he may retain it, and the
writer cannot claim its return. He may
ebow it to bis friends, sell it to any one
who will buy it, and bequeath it to bis
heirs ; but there are certain things neither
be nor others into whose possession the
letters have passed can do. He cannot
legally publish it, nor can he even make
copies of it for distribution. The Iaw has
been most distinctly laid down on several
occasions that not only the copyright in
letters. but oleo their public and mercantile
use; belongs to the writer, and that after
his death it descends to his heirs, executors,
administrators and aesigne.

Hurrying millet waggons and gathers his

send to, it is wired a tag, giving the driver's
e name, the license number of the waggon,
the date and such other .fade es would be
useful in court in case the milk should
prove to be impure. Honest milkmen have
nothing to fear from the inspector's tests,
leo that when a man makes any opposition
to the work of the oolleotor he is closely
Ioalowed up.
One of the city collectors who was out
in a herdic some time ago met a milkman
from South Boston. As soon as the
needier understood what the collector's
hemlines was, he put whip to hie
horse and started for home. The
inspector in the herdic followed the
thriven patting his horse to his beat speed.
The milkman got home first, however,
drove into hie stable and was jest slamming li
'the door when the collector' slipped inside.

and the oolleotor thought for a moment
that he was about tobecome the victim of•
a tragedy. He put on a bold front, how -

The Change in Woman's Dress.
The elaborately-dreseed woman, on the
street especially, is destined to be a rarity.
Flashy styles will be given over to the
marked women who seek attention—atten-
tion so far as the criticisms of their own
sex and the sneers of the men are con-
cerned. That the time is rips for a material
change in the fashions is conceded by all
women of taste and intelligence. Styles
have run to the extreme, until only a little
distance remained to the point of the ex-
ceedingly ridiculous. The strain on the
pnrse has been severely felt. Changes, and
of a radical nature, became so iregaent
that even the wealthiestfonnd difficulty in

which has set in is both timely and healthy.
