plexiOn of the next Congress may be ap-
preciated when it is remembered that

small majOrities. There are thirteen
members from Pennsylvania, mostly
Republicans, who were elected by plu-
ralities.

bia is set down at $4,000 being an in
crease of 10000. This shows very
prosperous condition of affairs at the

ruined the city by his terrible ring

THE death of the father of Senator
Bayard recalls the extraordinary prOmi-
nence of the family i'm the history of the
United States Senate. James Ashton
| Bayard, father of the late ex-senator
| Bayard, was Senator from 1907 to 1913.
His son, Richard III. Bayard, was twice
| elected Senator, i'm 1886 and 1841. Rich
ard I'll. Bayard was succeeded in the Sem
ate by the late James Ashton Bayard,
| his brother, who was elected in the
Senate in 1851 and remained there until
| 1864, when he resigned because he would
not take the ''irOnclad."
THE sugar refiners are making loud
complaint at the glucose adulteratiOn of
the article. and declare that it is slowly
pushing the better qualities of pure yell
low sugar out of the market. The de-
based product is sold, it appears, under
the representation that the discovery of
new process of refining has enabled
the manufacturers to underseIl an
article refined according to the familiar
method in use i'm first-class refneries.
Other dealers erase that part of the label
which shows that the article is not pure
sugar, and bring it into direct COMPETE
tiOn with the better grades of unadulter-
ated yellow at prices at which the latter
cannot be offered.
A WHOLE family East were poisoned
by eating lettuce growing near potato
patch where paris green was used to
destroy the bugs. The wind carried
enough of the poison to the lettuce to
produce the serious results mentioned.
Every year witnesses more or less disas-
ter from the free use of this poison.
Everyone using it should remember how
deadly are its effects. A prominent ply
stefan in Indiana carelessly left plate
in which he had mixed the poison with
flour where valuable horse reached it
and ate enough to kill him. 1t is a
doubtful agent, and it will be- strange if,
upon more careful examination, so dead
a poison scattered over plants will not
be found incorporated in some way with
the fruit of the vine.
