Adopted by Rabbits.

There is an old man out in Mound
Valley who has been adopted by lot
Of Jack rabbits, writes q New York
Sun correspondent from Carson City,
New. Their fUendliness and good
feeling have become SO obtrusive that
the old fellow would be thankful if
something would happen to ALLEVIATE
their affections. He is sort OF hermit,
living all alone on his ranch, where he
devotes all his time to cattle and horse
raising. AS he doesn't try TO raise
vegetables the rabbits could do him no
harm, and so he has never tried 20
drive them away. They soon became
very tame, and, as the Jack rabbit is
rather an affectionate animal any way,
they kept making more advances and
trials of friendship until they and the
old man have become quite sociable
When he goes out after his cows two
or three dozen rabbits will come troop
ing along after him, leaping around
him, running between his legs and nib
bling his fingers.
Very often a drove OF them will
gather around his cabin and cut up all
sort of pranks in front OF his door,
leaping on his bed, jump into the chair
if he isn't occupying the only one
himself-and nose around among his
kettles and dishes for something 70 eat.
Several of the most intelligent he has
singled out for special favors. He has
taught them number OF tricks, such
as jumping over bar or through a
ring, walking on their hind legs and
jumping over one another like leap
frog. But the rabbits have developed
such liking for civilization that they
are about to take possession OF his
house, and have even begun to rear
their broods in it, 50 that the old man
hardly knows now whether he owns
the house or simply lives there with the
rabbits.

strated in vain with her daughter on
this impoliteness, she at length declared
that, if she repeated the rudeness, she

West Virginia s boom is still at.
tracing considerable attention thro'-
out the country.
DR.. George w. Cracraft, one of the
oldest residents of Ohio county, died
a few days ago.
The County Court of Kanawha
county refused to grant liquor licen-
ses on Wednesday.
The State Bar Association will
meet in Wheeling on June 26th,
when Senator Daniels, of Virginia,
will deliver an address.
1t is expected that the military
companies of West Virginia will re-
ceiye arms, uniforms, &C., to the
amount of about $4,000 this year
from the State and the general gov
eminent.
The President, of the Cabell Coun-
ty Court, George w. Hackworth, is
out in the Huntington papers in a
card, in which he says 'the liquor
traffic is highly pernicious and dam
nable in the EXTREME and says he
will grant no more licenses.
1t is stated that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has decided
to complete its Estate line' branch
from Uniontown, Pa, to Morgan
town, w. Va, this summer. The
road is completed from Morgantown
to Fairmont where it joins the main
line of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road.
Barnes Beckwith, a prominent
farmer of Wood county, set a steel
trap to catch coon which he
thought was stealing the corn from
his crib couple of nights ago. The
next morning the strong teeth Of the
trap were biting the hand of one of
Mr.. Beckwith's nearest and best
known neighbors. Beckwith gave
him some good advice and released
him.

FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK

SPECIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING PoWDERSS
ADuLTERATIoNs IN CREAM OF TARTAR
Under the direction of the New
York State Board of Health, eighty
four different kinds of baking pow
ders, embracing all the brands that
could be found for sale in the State,
were submitted to examination and
analysis by Prof. G. +. CHANDLER, a
member of the STATE Board and Pres
ident of the New York City Board
of Health, assisted by Prof. EDWARD
G. Love, the well known United
States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a
large number of the powders exam
lined were found to contain alum or
lime many of them to such an ex-
tent as TO render them seriously OBJ
jectionable for use in the preparation
of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper tl6ir
cost. The presence oflime is attrib
utei to the impure cream of tartar of
commerce used in their manufacture.
Such cream of tartar was also anal.
yzed and found to contain lime and
other impurities in some samples to
the extent of 90 per cent Of their en-
tire weight.
All the baking powders Of the
market, with the single exception of
"Royal' (not including the alum and
phosphate powders, which have not
the virtue of even an impure cream
of tartar), are made from the sdul-
terated cream of tartar of commerce,
and consequently contain lime to
corresponding extent
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely
free from lime and absolutely pure is
the "Royal." This perfect purity re
suits from the exclusive use of cream
of tartar specially refined and pre-
pared by patent processes which to-
tally remove the tartrate of lime and
other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is
much greater than any other, and on
account of this greater cost in used
in no baking powder but the Royal
Prof LOVE who made the analysis
Of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health, as well as for
the Government, says of the purity
and wholesomeness of the "Royal" !:
~ find the Royal Baking Powder
composed of pure and wholesome in
gradients. 1t is cream of tartar
powder of high degree of merit,
and does not contain either alum or
phosphates or other injurious sab
stance. f. G. LOVE, Pr. d."
1t is highly satisfactory to the
housekeepers of this vicinity, wh4re
the Royal Baking Powder is in gen
eral use, that the Investigations by
the analysts in MASSACHUSETTS, New
York and Ohio, the only States that
have thus far taken action upon this
important subject, agree in CHASING
it as the purest and most efficient
baking powder in the market.
