ADULTERATED FOODS.
This|is |an age of fakes and
imitations. Everything we eat,
drink or wear is liable to be
something other than that which
it purports to be. Impure foods
represented to be of the best
class of goods have J.n recent
years Hooded the country to such
an extent that the government
has found in necessary to estab
lish stations where the purity of
foods may be determined by
chemical experts.
Much of this stock is imported
into the United States. On July
last a law authorizing the ex
clusion of impure or misbranded
foods went into effect. It is
interesting to note-that the re
port of Dr. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, covering
the past three months, states
that of the 205 cargoes of im
ported foods inspected by his
bureau, 20 samples, or 10 per
cent, had been found to come
within the law's inhibition and
had been condemned. One of
the samples was Frankfuter
sausage, containing preservatives
injurious to health. Others were
wine, canned vegetables, etc.
Professor G. F. Colby of the
University of California, well
known as a chemist, has been ap
pointed by the secretary of agri
culture to make examination of
foreign food products received at
Pacific coast ports. The purpose
of the appointment is to avoid
the expense of shipping goods
across the continent for inspec
tion, and it is announced that ex
perts will be located at other
distant points if congress can
be prevailed upon to supply the
ur.ds necessary for the purpose.

SHE DID NOT DRINK.
And Consequently Did Not Need First
Floor Rooms.
American pushfulness is aii unlim
ited quantity. The women are as ir
repressible in society as the men in
commerce. A certain visitor to the
Riviera found this out recently. He
I was occupying first fleer rooms at a
well-known hotel. An of a sudden,
without .any introduction or prelim
inary, a note was brought to him
signed by the wife of a well-known
American millionaire. It asked him
whetner he would object to giving up
his rooms to her niece. He was much
amazed, but wrote back inquiring
whether the niece drank. Mrs.
wrote in reply, in surprise and indig
nation, winding up with an emphatic
statement that her niece did not
drink. Lord concluded with
the following note: "Lord re
grets that he cannot give up his first
floor rooms to Mrs. 's niece,
for he is convinced that, as the young
lady does not drink, it is very much
easier for her to get up stairs than it
is for Lord ."London Tat

A NEW BOILED DINNER.
Little One's Astonishment Natural Uiv
der the Circumstances.
"I have a little niece," said the ra
conteur of the Sewing Circle, "who
is never so happy as when she is al
lowed to visit the kitchen and watch
the servants at work_ Fortunately,
her mother has good-natured servants
who rather enjoy having the child
around, so many are the charmed
hours which Jessie spends downstairs
making little pies under the cook's
superintendence, and pretending she
is 'grown up.'
"The other day she descended to the
laundry to oversee the family wash in
her busy little way. She gave one
look of utter astonishment as Mary
put on the clothes to boil, and then
fairly flew upstairs to her mother, ex
claiming
'Oh, mamma! What do you think?
Mary's cooking the clothes far din-
ner!'"New York Times.
Cheerfulness Counts.
The Cosmopolitan says the longevity
of the medical man is materially less
than that of workers of other profes
sions. Only those with a sound
physique, other things being equal,
can win in a struggle for success-. The
sick look with confidence to the well.
Tney demand the hearty dogmatism
that comes from the overflowing of
animal spirits. They enjoy the cheer
ful optimism that comes from a good
digestion. They lean upon the doc
tor in their weakness and yield willing
obedience to his kindly influence.
Much of the power possessed for good
may be nutslde of pills or potions, cor
rect theories or sound deductions.
American Medicine.
Bait!
A class in a Sunday school was list
ening to a lesson on patience. The
topic had been carefully explained, and
as an aid to understanding the teach
er had given each pupil a card bearing
the picture of a boy fishing. "Even
pleasure," said she, "requires the exer
cise of patience. Look at the boy fish
ing! He mus* sit and wait and wait.
He must be patient." Having treated
the subject very fully, she began with
the simplest, most practical question:
"And now can any little boy tell me
what we need most when we go fish-
ing?" With one voice was the answer
shouted"bait!"
Evicted Kaffirs.
The correspondent of a London pa
per, writing from British South Afri
ca, says the Kaffirs are bound to in
crease in population more rapidly
than the whites, whom they already
greatly outnumber, and, being barred
from work in many cases by the im
portation of cheap labor from India
and forced to leave their land hold
ings, which they .'.etain only under
lease from the Boers, to whom it has
been allotted, and under liability of
eviction, a serious uprising of the na
tives is not beyond the possibilities of
the near future.
Losses by Drought in Australia.
The wheat harvest of 1902 in New
South Wales is only one-tenth of the
harvest of 1901, and this represents a
loss to the wheat growers of over 2,-
000,000. The losses in grain, hay and
Tegetables are at least as great in the
aggregate, while the disasters of the
pastoral industry are on a yet more
tragical scale. In the flocks and herds
of the state there is a decrease of
47,401 horses, 319,461 cattle and 15,-
669,632 sheep! Taken at low rates,
this represents an immediate cash loss
of something like 8,000,000.
Had Him in Doubt.
"Is your wife a good manager?"
"I really don't know." "Don't know!"
"No. You see, I always thought I had
pretty much my own way in every
thing, but the other day I got hold
of an article on the diplomatic man
agement of husbands, and since read
ing that I'm not at all sure that my
wife hasn't been managing me right
Jong. if that's so, you can put her
down as one of the best and cleverest
managers that over lived."
A Mother to the Girl.
The woman who had lost her maid
at the moment that she was expecting
visitors went to the janitor in her
distress, hoping that he might be able
to find some one to help her out. He
was Hibernian and effusively sym
pathetic. "Shure an' it's too bad," he
assured her, "an' you afther bein' a
mither to that girl!" As the girl was
as black as a negro could be, the
woman took the compliment with, res
ervations.-
STRUCK BY STREET CAR.
Bicycle Rider Is Instantly Killed in St.
Paul.
St. Paul, Oct. 3.Harry Jacobs was
strtick by a street car at Univer-i-y
avenue and Marion street and killed
instantly. His skull was fractured :n
several places. Deputy Coroner Whit
comb examined the remains and had
them removed to the morgue. The
boy usually collects accounts for his
father after school hours, and was
making the rounds on his wheel. As
a street car passed him on University
avenue he caught hold of the car and
began to trail in rear of it. He at
tempted to turn out and cross the
tracks at Marion street, and as he did
so a carfrom Minneapolis approached
from the opposite direction. Neither
Motorman Charles Anderson nor
young Jacobs could avoid a collision.
BURGLARS DISCOMFITED.
Did Not Get a Cent From the Bank
and Drove Into a Sewer.
Ormsby, Minn., Oct. 3.An attempt
was made to rob the Odin bank. The
outside doors of the safe were blown
off with nitroglycerin. Persons across
the street were awakened by the re
port and uurried to the scene and the
robbers fled without securing any
money. They stole a team and buggy
and drove to this place. A sewer was
being constructed, which they drove
into, damaging their buggy to such an
extent that they were unable to use it.
They left the rig and are still at large.
SOCIETY MAN'S F/U-i_.

ing Stock.
Spokane, Oct. 3.Mining Broker J.
J. Kresley, formerly secretary of the
Lucille Mining company, yesterday
pleaded guilty to the charge of obtain
ing money on forged stock of that
company. He was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary, the limit al
lowed by law. The exposure of ex
tensive stock forgeries of Kresley,
formerly a prominent broker and so
ciety men, and his flight to Montana
and capture, created great excitement
during the early summer.
Probably a Case of Murder.
Crookston, Minn., Oct. 3. The au
thorities are of the opinion that the
body of the child which was found
floating in the river here Wednesday
was murdered. The child was a girl
about two and one-half months old.
The police are at work on a strong
clew. This is the second child found
here within three months. Several
have been found in the past few years
and the case may connect them and
develop some startling facts.

,'OUGH ON HE JURY.
Thirty Columns of Editorials at One
Sitting.
Lexington, S. C. Oct. 3.The fourth
day of the trial of James H. Tillman,
charged with the murder of Editor
Gonzales, was taken up almost wholly
with the reading of editorials from the
State newspaper, files of which, cov
ering 1902, were placed in evidence on
Tuesray by counsel for the state. It
is estimated that some thirty columns
were read. The papers from which
the editorials were read run from the
1st of April to the end of the year 1902.
The reading was a tedious task. Twice
during the day Judge Gary suspended
momentarily because of the strain on
the jurors, who listened intently
throughout.
SHOT THROUGH STOMACH.
Hayward Man Fatally Wounded by
Discharge of Gun.
Hayward, Wis.. Oct. 3. Gustave
Myers accidentally shot and killed
himself at Stinett, six miles south of
Hayward. He left a loaded shotgun

membering it. in the early morning,
went out in his night clothes to bring
in the gun. The hammer caught on
the edge of the porch and the charge
went through his stomach.

The saloon gave evidence of a terrible
struggle. It Is believed that Adams
i was slain by robbers, who are thought
to have made away with several him
dred dollars of money carried by him
I to cash time checks.
THE PACIFIC OCEAN'S FLOOR.
What Would Be Revealed if Watf
Were Drained Off.
Leslie's Weekly says: If the waters
of the Pacific could be drained there
would be revealed a vast stretch of
territory, comprising enormous pla
teaus, great valleys for which no par
allels exist on the land surface, lofty
mountains beside which the Himalaya
and the Andes would look like hillocks
and tremendous hollows or basins only
to be compared with those on the face
of the moon.
While there are great mountains and
huge basins or deeps, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive. Rela
tively speaking, the floor of the Pa
cific is now at last revealed on the
plateau areas In level. There are un
dulations and depressions, but the gen
eral area is about the same depth be
low the surface.
Soundings develop a mean depth of
from 2,500 to 2,700 fathoms. In shoaler
spots there is a mean depth of from
2,300 to 2,400 fathoms. Deeper spots
show from 2,800 to 2,900 fathoms.
WAS PRETTY DRY READING.
How Teddy's Ambition Received
Something of a Setback.
For some reason desire for higher
education had overcome Teddy. Tem
porarily he felt keenly his own ignor
ance, gloried in hearing about the lives
of illustrious, self-made men, and for
the first time realized his own short
comings. He decided to emulate ex
amples. The Encyclopedia Britannica,
he thought, was a fairly well-informed
authority, and if he'd read just a page
or two of that every night, within a
few years he'd know about everything
extant.
"Well, my boy," asked his father
an hour after the course had begun,
"how do you like it?"
"I don't know," said Teddy. "Alge
bra is mighty slow but alligators
phew!"
Warming the North Pole.
A novel scheme for rendering the
Arctic regions inhabitable has been
advanced by a scientist, who proposes
to widen Behring Strait and remove
all obstacles to the entrance of the
warm Japanese current, which he con
siders then would pour down in suffi
cient quantities to melt the ice of the
Polar seas, thus reclaiming a vast em
pire. Behring Strait is thirty-six miles
wide at the narrowest part, with a
depth of from thirty to forty fathoms,
but the channel is obstructed by three
small islands. These he would re
move, and would also get rid of those
rocks and reefs along the coast which
offer most impediment to the free ac
cess of the current.
French Commissioner Disgusted.
Michel Lagrave, French commission
er to the St,-Louis exposition, arrived
there recently with Mae, Lagrave,
and inside of twenty-four hours was
the most disgusted man in Missouri.
There was no one to receive him at
the d^pot and as he does not speak
English he had much difficulty in get
ting a carriage to his hotel. The cab
man charged him $20 for the short
drive to the hotel, where he waited
until the next afternoon before his
presence in town was recognized by
anyone connected with the exposition.
M. Lagrave declares that the steamer
cannot take him back to France too
quickly.Chicago Chronicle.
Search fo Prehistoric Horses.
For two years past agents of Wil
liam C. Whitney have been searching
the western plains for relics of the an
cestors of the p-resent breed of horses.
So far many interesting bones have
been resurrected from their burial
places in the rocks of the pre-Adamite
ages. The horse, in its origin, had
several varying prototypes. The Na
tional History Museum in New York
already specimens. Last autumn the
fossil remains of a small herd of the
species called the hipparion were dis
covered in Nebraska, From them it is
believed that a complete animal can
be mounted.
Misquotations.
A correspondent sends the following
popular misquotations: The absurd
tautology, "Like angels' visits few (in-
stead of short) and far between
"Money is the root of all evil," for
"The love of money," a very different
thing. He remarks that it is curious
that the late Dr. Patteson himself in
his monograph on Milton falls into
the snare of quoting "Fresh fields and
pastures new." He suggests, also, that
the use of the Italian phrase, in petto,
as if equivalent to in miniature, is an
other snare into which many authors
fall.
Matches Eight Inches Long.
The latest luxury for the smokers'
tray is the new English match that
measures eight inches in length. Fifty
of these fit a sumptuous silver and
leather box, which, with the cigars, is
set upon the table at the conclusion
of a dinner party. One match will
light from ten to twelve cigars or
cigarettes. Sometimes, for the use
of feminine smokers, these matches
are made of Syrian cedars or aromatic
East Indian woods and burn with the
most delicious perfume.
North Dakota Legislators.
There are 140 members of the North
Dakota legislature, and of them fifty
one are farmers and only two are law
I yers. Norwegians and their descend
i ants are very largely represented in
I the politics oi North Dakota.
The Largest Opera Houses.
The Academy of Music, at New
York, will hold 4,700 people. The
next biggest opera house is that at
Parma, in Italy. It is built of wood,
an* will hold 4.500.
