ajmblic Wash-iiouse which might be
advuntiigcotisly ititllutod In those cities
in this country where a liberal supiily
of wiiter cannot ho procured by nil ul
their homes, Jt is an open building,
supported by columns, occupying two
sides of a square. It is kept scrupu
lously clean, and through tl.o middle
aro two largo marble troughs, with
fifty sub-divisions on eiteh side, afford
ing euflicicnt room for a washerwoman
unil hor work. A n abundance uf fresh,
clear wufer is provided by faucets to
each sub-division. Tbo aeeoiiuslutioiis
ufl'o riled lit tho public wash-house are
free of charge. Hundreds of washer
women may bo seen hero at any hour
of the day , busy with hands and tongues.
The portion of thesqnnro not covered
by-tho building is kept as a lawn, and
used cxctisively for bleaching and dry
ing the clothes. Wntcr in Vein Crm
is Brought a disfnueo of fifteen miles
from tho river Jaiimpu, near the town
of .Me.lilliii. The water-works uro
owned by the city, ui)d resemble those
of tho city of St. 'l.ouis. Tlie wafer is
cool and clear as crystal and costs to
ench householder who has it Introduced
into his house a monthly stipend of 82.
Water is procurable free from thu nu
merous public fountains.
TAKIXO OFF TUB SHOES.
In Syria thu people never tirke off
tlietr caps or turbans when entering a
house or visiting a friend, but they
always leave their shoes at tho door.
Tho reason in that their flisirs are cover
ed with clean mats and rugs, and in
the Moslem houses tho inen kneel on
tbo men to nrav. and l.resa their foro-
huuds to tho floor, so that it would not
be decent or reepectl'ttl to walk in with
dirty shoes to soil the siijndy on which
tiny kneel (o pray, luey Intvo no
foot mats or scrapers, aud it is. much
cheaper and simpler to leave the hocs
dirt and nil, ut the door.
It is very curious to go lo tlie Syrian
Hch.sil-house und see tlie pile of shoes
ut the Uoor. J here arc new Iniglit reu
shoes, and tattered shoes, and kobknbs.
and Hack shoes, and sometimes yellow
shoes. Tho kobkoba aro wooden clogs,
madu to ruiso thu feet out of the mud
niul water, luiving a little strap over
tho too to keep it on tho tout, i ou
will often we little boys and girls run
ning down stops und paved streets on
these dangerous kobkobs. Sometimes
they slip, and then down they go, on
Uuur noses, uiul thu kobkolw fly off
aud go rattling over tho stones, und
little All or i'usef, or whatever bis
nariiO is, Wgins to shout, iaYa Imma !

A fhctorv for the production of con-
dcnseil milk has recently been eslal-
lished at Chum, (Ttnton Zug, ou tho
borders of tho lake of lho same numo,
in Switnoi'lund. We find tho following
description of the proven in one of our
exchanges: The milk is furnished by
pensuuts, and as wh.ii as each person
delivurs his supply, a sample is taken
from tho pails, numbered und allowed
to lvinain quiet over night. The ol-
ject of this is to judge of thu quality of
the milk for tho rising of cream. Cases
of fraud, however are rare, as tlu) pea
santry ai generally honest, and tho
peiinitioa imposed by law uro extremely
severe, .
Tho first operation is to weigh the
milk, which to this end is conducted
into a copper basin supported by a bal
uuce, lis weight being obltiineil, tbo
milk is ullowu.l to cscure into huge
wooden ivseiToirs, lined with zinc and
located in the cellar. Here a careful
xnmination is made with the lactome
ter, and the fluid Is drawn off into large
cylindrical copper hoilom, which are
ilaced in a vut tarnished with a luisc
.ottom, tinder which steam enters.
The milk in thus slowly heated, but not
boiled. For tho latter purpose it is la
dled out into a scpurate boiler, whence
it is carried !o another tuuk containing
a quantity of white sugar. In order to
litcilitiite tho solution ol tho latter, Uie
liiiuid is ri'iieutcdly passed along a met
al trough from one-vn to another.
hen tho operation is completed, it is
drawn off into evaporating chambers.
These receptacles resemble tbo similar
apparatus used in sugar manufacture,
and luivo double bottoms, heated by
steam. They are united to a column
of condensation which communicates
with air pumps. Under these ooiidi-
tions the milk boils at 1411 degrees Fah
renheit, hvory htilo while tho work
man takes out it sample from which ho
judges according toils viscosity whoth-
.1 , . .. i A,..:....,
cr ll. o eon.ieusuiioii is suincieiii.
When the latter point is reached, the
liquid is led down into the cellar and
into a tin receptacle which is surround
ed by cold water. The milk is tlior
ottghlv agitated bv band for some time
until completely cool, when it Is carried
to other resoi-voim and thence drawn
off into boxes ami settled. Tho tlailv
product is ulsnit. H.OUO box., each
weighing alsiut 13.5 ounces. The milk
may be diluted with five times its
weight of wntur. . ,

IX A POOR PASTURE.
When Washington Smith studied
medicine, a great deal of difficulty was
experienced in procuring dead bodies
for dissection, and tho student at tho
college used to mnke forays upon the
cemeteries at night for the purpose of
maintaining the supply, uno day
they heard of the interment of a mys
terious moloily, and thoy determined
to resurrect the rcmuins. That night
Smith and his friends started ont with
out a lantern, but with plenty of spades
and shovels. When they camo to tlie
place and saw the white marble tomb
stones, they climbed over the fence and
after a whilo found a spot where th
earth was apparently fresh. Then they
began to dig. They dug lbr two hours
and went down about twenty feet
After thoy had excavated a big enough
hole to make a couple of cellars and a
rifle pit thoy concluded that they most
bavo been at the wrong spot They
picked out another place where the
ground had been npttirjifioV-jrriflr ifLawi "
nearly bursting a blood vessel apiece
and getting out a few hundred tons of
dirt, thry knocked off, and aa they sat
down oa tho edge of tho hole to rest
and wipe off" the jierspiration, they ox-
pressed their astonishment at the scar
city of bodies in that particular burial
ground. It waa getting on toward
morning then, but thoy determined to
try once more. Just as they removed
the first shovelful of oarth, Smith, who
had been wandering around the place
meanwhile, suddenly said, in a mourn
ful voice :
"Boys, I think wo bad better go
home now."
" W hr f What for r they asked.
"Well, I think anyhow we'd better
knock off now on account of various
things."
"What do you mean? what d' you
want to go home for?" asked they.
- "Well," said Smith, "I think it would
be judicious' for several reasons, but
principally because we've been rootin'
round here all night in a marble yard."
They did go borne. Thoy had gotten
over the wrong fonco, the cemetery
being a few steiis further down tha
road. Tho members of the class who
woht out after breakfast to see how tho
ruins looked by daylight, said that
while the owner ot tho marble vara
did not invent any now kind of swear
ing when bo came to business, he in
fused into tho old variety a very unu
