which wad submitted to the markets
special committee of the Calcutta cor
poration. "My prayer is," says the writer,
"that 1 have a milk shop at the above
address. At this shop 1 sell milk adul
terated with water. I sell it in the con
dition t buy It from the market, and I
do not water It myself. But the food
Inspector, unable to stop sale of adul
terated milk In the market, unjustly
threatens me. I have therefore public
ly put up a signboard stating that
adulterated milk is sold in my sbop. I
submit this for your honor's Informa
tion that the food inspector may not
oppress me when I am not committing
an offense."
From a report by the health officer It'
appears that no fewer than twenty-
eight signboards have been put up in
the milk bazaar bearing the legend.
"Milk With Water Is Sold Here." or
"Milk Mixed With Water." The exhibi
tion of these boards prevents the pros
ecution of the venders for selling adul
terated milk. London Chronicle.
A Postal Oddity.,.
One of the most remarkable mall
routes in the world is that which a
letter journeys in getting from Beebe
Plain. Vt.. to Beebe rialn. Que., says
the Boston Herald. While the two of
fices are within teu feet of each other
are located In the same room. In fact
a letter mailed from one office to the
other must make a trip of 21)4 miles,
sixty-seven miles in Canada and . the
rest In tbe United States.
Tbe plain, old fashioned store build
ing, which is situated on the interna
tional boundary Hue, contains both tbe
United States and Canadian offices.
There are separate entrances to each,
but both are in the same room, have
the same lobby, and there are no par
titions to mark tbe dlvlsious between
tbe domain of Uncle Sam and the pos
session of King Edward.
"If you mall a letter from the Ver
mont side addressed to tbe Quebec
side," says tbe postmaster, "it goes
from here to tbe junction, then to
Newport, then to White River Junc
tion and back to Lennoxvllle."

The Panama Canal In War.
The strategic value of the Panama
canal Is estimated to be equivalent to
a fleet of large battleships. This is
the conclusion of Dr. Cornish, given
before the Royal Geographical society
in London.. Taking the cost of the
canal at $300,000,000. which would only
build forty first class battleships now
adays, the United States will have a
good bargain and be able to cover a
total coast line without any material

so that their hardness could not have

their exceptional purity. On tbe other
