THE POPCORN TRADE.
Extent of the Business in the United
states-Cure for observation-disclosures



states-Cure for DYspepsia-Macaroni's
Rival.
The high price of corn, says the New
York Mail and Express, has. somewhat
discouraged the manufae rs of pop
corn, who are compelled to increased
money for their product while disposing
of their goods at almost the same figures
as obtained when corn was low. One
manufacturer in New York manufactures
as high as 10000 pounds of popcorn a
year. He has now on hand single con-
tract for shipping 1000 barrels to London.
Shipments are made regularly to Hayti,
France, Breslau, Berlin, Japan, China
and Italy. The Italians prefer it to mac
aroni and are heavy consumers of pop
corn.
"Many physicians" said the popcorn
man, s'are recommending their patients
to use popcorn as a cure for dyspepsia.
Several parties who are passing the sum-
mer in the Catskills have shipped guam
titv by direction of their medical adviser,

and cry for more. 1t is far preferable to
molasses and other candy
All the manufacturers of popcorn have
grown rich. There are but nine in New
York. Newark, Jersey City, San Fran
cisco and Chicago all have one. There is
one in Quebec, Montreal and Toronto.
Two men in Lowell, Mass, made indie
pendent fortunes in the business. One in
Springfield, Mass, distinguished himself
in the same manner. Popcorn was first
made in this country in 1S49.

The Agitation Spreading

Our Augusta and Atlanta contempOra.
ries are agitating the well water question
in their respective cities. They know that
danger turks in the wells, and they are
only doing their duty in warning the peo-
pie against them. There may be those
who think that this well water
question is being given more attention
than it deserves. They don't like reforms
of any kind which require the expendi-
ture OF money. They would rather move
along in the same old rut, and, if misfor-
tune comes, ease their conscience by at
trfbuting 1t to Providence instead of their
neglect and refusal to do what the plain
est sanitary rules indicate should be done.

cepted as the will Of Providence, when
the truth is. they were poisoned by i'm
pure water or by foul air from badly con-
structed vaults or drains, or from soil sat

Camnaicn Romancing.

The average politician doesn't always
speak his real sentiments with respect to
the political outlook in his State or partic-
ular locality when he talks for publica-
ton. If his party is really in the lead ne
is. of course, glad to say so, but when ne
is in doubt. or believes that the opposition
is getting the best of the fight, does he say
exactly what he thinks? BY no means.
If he has some conscientious scruples, ne
says little, always Of course, making
good showing for his own party; but If his
conscience isn't at all tender, he gives his
Imagination free play. In his little talk
with the interviewer facts play very un-
important part.
For instance, ex-senator Kellogg, of
Louisiana, who is by all odds the smart
est Of all the old carpet-bag crowd, told a
Chicago Tribune reporter day or two
ago that Blaine had an excellent chance
of carrying Louisiana-in fact, Mr.. hel-
Iogg SAID the prospect was really fiatter-
ing. OF course Mr.. Kellogg knows that
Blaine hasn't the remotest chance OF get
ting the electoral vote of Louisiana. The
only Republican party there is in Louisi-
ana is in the New Orleans custom house.
The party hasn't any organization
throughout the State, and there
is no probability that it will have,
because the leaders in the custom house
can agree upon nothing. Their whole
time is taken up in fighting each other.
About all that Mr.. Kellogg wants is to be
elected to Congress from the Third dis
trict so that he can control the patron age
of the State in the event of Blaine's cleo
ton.
However, KelIogg's talk is only sam
pie of the sort of twaddle that many poll
ticians of both parties talk for the benefit
of the public. They know what they say
one day will be forgotten the next, and
that their regulations for truth or for
ability to comprehend the political situa-
| ton will not suffer. 1t would be some
satisfaction If they would keep as close to
the truth as they could.

Tomahawk Punch.

Among the curious recipes which were
given by Mr.. Vivian Grey to the Mar
GUESS of Carabass was one for the compo-
sition Of Tomanawk punch. To two bot
ties of still champagne one pint of curacao
was to be added. The aroma of one pound
of green tea was then to be caught by
some mysterious and unexplained pro-
cess, and the mixture, after having been
dashed with Glenlivat, was to be iced.
Tomahawk punch is scarcely suitable
for consumption during hot weather.
Something a trifie less potent is required
for use at picnics and garden parties; and
although sherry cobblers, mint juleps,
lemonade and bitter beer, and even the
vulgar shandygaff, are all excellent bev-
erages, there are no summer drinks that
are more generally welcome than those
refreshing brews which are known as
cups.

Barbados have demonstrated that there

den. 1t would be a sad thing if these
