Love in the Wire Grass.

There is any amount of fun in court
ing young girl who has not been used
to it. She swallows all the soft things
fellow says. but when it comes to
popping the question. or something of
that kind, she gets frightened more or
less, and wants time to consider until
there are enough loopholes for her low
er to slip out through without the least
bit of trouble, if he happens to see
some one he thinks he could love
shade or two better. Young girls are
timid and shy in earnest, and if fell
low is not pretty certain he has found
precisely the angel he is looking for,
he can manage so as to have the refus-
al OF her, for year or more, and at
the same time manage to keep his neck
out OF the reach of breach of promise
suit when he happens to meet some
other sweet-faced angel that seems to
him to be better suited to his taste.
1t is different with a widow. She
gets rid of all her shyness at the earli-
est convenient opportunity, and finds
out the principal things she desires to
know of him before she allows him to
get acquainted. The schoolgirl of six
teen trusts herself to any young fellow
on sixty or ninety days sight without
security, but the widow, like thrifty
wholesale house, goes out and exam
ines the mercantile reports concerning
him, and then sells to him on her own
terms for cash. She has him sized up
before he comes to market, and when
she looks as if she were a very artless
creature, and fights shy of him when
ever he happens to sit little close to
her on the sofa, there are ten chances
to one that he will never look any
further, but will buckle right up to her
and put the question fairly and square
ly, and when he has done she is not go
ing to tremble and blush and ask for
week or month in which to make up
her mind. She will just wind her arms
around his neck and look up into his
face with one of Ella Wheeler's fiery
ycarns, and before he has had time to
catch his breath he will find himself
nailed to the cross with s'yes" that
pierces him to his very soul. Hawki',s-

The Tobacco Convention,

a tobacco convention was held at
GAINESVILLE last week, commencing on
Wednesday and continuing two days.
A large number of people were present,
embracing many prominent men of the
Northwest, as well as interested visitors
from different parts of the Union. The
convention convened at two O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, and opened with
an address by Hon. f. N. Phelps, presi-
dent of the New England Tobacco as
ISOLATION. The speaker discussed the
tobacco industry intelligentlY, touching
peintedly upon the hopes and fears en-
tertained by growers for this infant
giant. One source of trouble to tobacco
growers at present was the importation
of Tobacco from the island of Sumatra.
The New England association had petit
toned congress twice and that body had
imposed a duty of IS cents on each
pound sent from that island here; but
Sumatra tobacco is fine and silky and
one pound Of it used as cigar wrappers
will go as far as four pounds of our own
production; besides. the Sumatra ship
pers had succeeded in evading the law
and by ingenious packing only paid =
duty of thirty-five cents per pound.
Land is very cheap and labor can be
had for song in Sumatrs; so Mr..
Phelps had come from Connecticut,
hoping that this convention would effect
a permanent organization and combine
with the eastern and middle tobacco
growing states in petitioning congress
to amend the present law and impose q
higher rate of duty on imported tobacco
for the protection of home industry.
An organization was effected and the
following officers elected; President,
Dir. S. l.. Lord, of Edgerton; secretary,
Mr.. A. NJ Valentine. of GAINESVILLE;
treasurer, Mr.. c. B. Conrad. of James
vile; corresponding secretary, Mr.. F.
w. Coon, of Edgerton; executive COM
mittee, Captain Pliny Norcross of Rock,
John Estes of Dane. w. d. Hoard of
jefferson. James Hutton of Rock; state
at large, Clinton Babbitt, of Rock. And
the following paper was circulated for
signatures: The undersigned, having
an interest in the tobacco industry, do
hereby unite and establish the North
western Tobacco Growers association,
and agree to pay membership fee of
one dollar
Hon. h. M. LaFollette, member of
congress from Madison, addressed the
convention, and committed himself as

A Baking Powder Trick.

All kinds of schemes and tricks are
resorted to by unprincipled persons to
obtain unfair advantages over their
neighbors. The latest and most dis
honest of these that has come to our
notice is one by which certain manu-
facturers Of baking powder have sought
to prejudice consumers against the use
of other brands that have an established
reputation as the best and purest in the
market. for the purpose of introducing
their own. Their method, we are in
formed, is to heat can of baking
powder OF well known brand over a
lamp or stove, or to mix the baking
powder with hot water, when, if there
is gas given of having the odor of
ammonia, the powder is condemned as
being made of ammonia and unit for
use. The prejudices of the unsuspect-
ing are thus excited against the baking
powder submitted to the so-called test.
If the intelligent consumer will stop
msment to think, she will readily per-
ceive that this test il successful
proves nothing but the superiority of
the baking powder tested The aim of
all baking powder makers is to produce
an article that shall most readily, under
use, give off its leavening gas. The
powder does this with moderate heat,
at the same time evolving the largest
quantity, is scientifically the best.
There is probably not an article pre-
pared for food that cannot be manipu-
lated to prove that something is wrong
about it; and when person goes into
kitchen or before housekeeper who is
not to be presumed to understand
chemical relations, and performs an ex-
pertinent of even the simplest character,
it is not difficult to impress one that
something awful IS the matter. As to
baking powders, we could suggest
dozen tests that would be as ridiculous
in giving fair idea of their relative
merits to an uninstructed mind as the
one here mentioned.
The true domestic value of bak-
ing powder consists in its purity. whole
someness, and leavening power. 1t is
only the chemist. with his chemical APP
planes, who can determine these
qualities, scientifically and exactly.
Aside from this. the best test for bak-
ing powder is to try it in making bread.
and see which makes the most and
the best To this practical test all the
established brands have been put. and
houseksepers have very generally made
up their minds which they prefer, and
the tricksters will find ultimately
that brand that has been a household
favorite for years will not be displaced
by reasons of any tricks which they may
show.
