One of the milk companies has a special baby service. Sufficient milk of the proper kind for each baby customer is sent to his house every day. What is one baby's milk is another baby's poison, so a doctor is employed by tho milk company and his duty it is to visit each new customer and prescribe how much and of what strength his daily tipple shall consist.

It works like a charm, too, and the trust and faith of the modern mamma are amply repaid by the welfare prescriptiou-fed buby. It is a bit startling just the same to call on a modern mamma some fine morning aud hear her ring up the milk company on the telephone and request that their doctor be sent to see the baby. "Toddles hasn't been well for a day or two," she explains, as she hangs up the receiver, aud mets the bewildered stare of her guest. "I think the milk he drinks is too rich for him.

S. K. Reed, the venerable Methodist minister, has been confined to his home on North State street the past few weeks, and before taking to his bed he had been so feeblo that be hud not been able to Ijq down in the city since early in the fall. In his case there appears to be a general giving out of vitality and the friends of the family do not have much hope that he will survive till spring. Rev.

Mr. Reed is now in tho ninety-ninth year of his age, and considering this it is said that his mental faculties are still fairly bright. In addition to being the oldest Methodist minister in Illinois it is no doubt a fact that he is the oldest Odd Fellow in the world, having joined tho order more than seventy years ago, having frequently been in the lodge room with the founder of the order. "We hare been -unable -to find the exact date on which Father Reed became an Odd said ono of the members Champaign lodge: "A few years ago an investigation was begun, but it was found that the records giving the date of his initiation had been burned."

From its battlements an Arragosan descended upon a rope which was fastened to an anchor at the gate of the dean's house aud, walking up the rope again, played "certaine misteryes on the said rope," which are said not only to have excited the astonishment of the immense crowd but to have been also a particularly acceptable sight to the youthful monarch.

But at the following coronation of Queen Mary, according to the same authority, a still more wonderful feat was accomplished, which drew immense crowds of awestruck citizens. A Dutchman, aftor making grotesque Abeisanccs to the spectators, stood on the weathercock of St. Taul's steeple, holding a streamer of ribbon five yards long in his bauds.
