What am I TO Do?

The symptoms Of Biliousness are
unhappily but two well known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A Bilious man is
seldom breakfast eater. Too fre-
quently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for SOL
ids Of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time;
il 1t is not white and furred. it is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system Is wholly
cut Of order and Diarrhea or Consti-
patton may be symptom or the
two msy alternate. There are often
Hemorrhois or even loss Of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or fiatulence
and tenderness in the pit Of the
stomach. To correct all this If not

COINAGE FOR CANADA.
From the Toronto Mail.

FEOui tfC lOiOhttO -sAoh.
Canada has no gold coins, and all
the silver and copper coins are made
in England under the supervision Of
the officers Of the Royal Mint. In
British Columbia it is thought the
tine has arrived when we should
commence the coming Of our own
money. 1t is understood, indeed,
that victorians are not averse to the
establishment of a mint in their
midst. A correspondent Of Brit
ish Columbia paper suggests the
opening of such an institution and
the coinage Of guineas to represent
IS and halt guineas to represent
$3.50. 1t is proposed that the
Queens head be stamped on one
side of the coins aud on the reverse
"the Niagara River, with beavers
quietly at work telling trees under
the safe protection of noble lion
couchant on the British side, who is
regarding somewhat earnestly the
approach of a screaming American
eagle, who from the American side
of the river seems to wish to molest
the Canadian beavers" To make
the picture historically accurate the
beaver must be represented as laden
with heavy weights, and the move
ment of the trees after they have
fallen must appear to be Impossible.

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Declared Adulterated Food and their Sale
Illegal.

The result of trial just conclud-
ed at Canton, N. T., before Judge
Kellogg, will have salutary effect
in checking the sale Of one class Of
adulterated food. Two men, named
Moon and Akerill, were arrested for
selling adulterated baking powder in
violation of the State food adultera-
tion act. The indictment was for
both selling baking powders that
were inferior, adulterated and !nju-
rious to health by reason of being
made from alum, and for selling
them under pretense that they we're
a wholesome, cream of tartar baking
powder. A Stubborn defence was
made, the claim being set up that
baking powders were not articles OF
food and that the powder the defend
ants were selling, which was known
as Gillett's, was standard article Of
trade, and that alum baking pow
ders inferior to it, like Davis and
Others, were being sold by other
dealers in the same town without
complaint. The Court held that
baking powders were articles offood
within the meaning Of the Law, and
the jury found the defendants gull
ty upon all the charges. The case
has attracted much attention from
being the first brought under the
State Food Adulteration Act against
dealers in alum baking powders.
The result Of the trial is to class
such baking powders as adulterated

HOW SAN FRANCISCO NEWS
PAPERS BEAT NEW YORK
JOURNALS on n. Y. NEWS.


From the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
Before the invention photography
the people of the Pacific slope did
not learn of events in the Eastern
States for several weeks after they
had transpired, and foreign news
was months in reaching them. Even
at the present time, with the steam
engine, fast mails, &c., it would he
about week before they received
New York news, and at least two
weeks before events in London reach
ed them, were it not for the telegraph.
Now, however, it frequently happens
that the San Francisco newspapers
publish news from London and New
York before it appears in the Allan
tic coast papers. For instance.
should something happen in New
Yord at 8 o'clock A. NJ, at which
time the New York papers have
gone to press, it can be flashed over
the wires to San Francisco in time
for publication in the papers of that
city, it being then only 2 A. NJ,
San Francisco time. In like man.
ner an important cablegram arriv.
ing in New York at the same hour
can be sent in the same way. With
this advantage of time in favor OF
San Francisco it frequently happens
that the Pacific coast papers scoop
their New York contemporaries on
Eastern and foreign news.

The treatment which colts receive
has a,telling effect upon them when
they are grown up, says an expert
horseman. Injuries and blemishes
are like the leaves on trees: they in
crease in size as the body increases.
It is an undisputed fact that the con-
dition OF the feet of horse is more
or less affected by the condition of
the ground on which the feet are
treated in any kind Of soil. If they
are kept confined to stables and
compelled to stand continually upon
hard plank floors, the feet will be
more or less injured by it; or If they
are constantly kept on soft, loamy
ground the feet will be soft and
spongy, and in about as bad condi'
tion as il bruised up by being sta
bled continually.

A Laredo special says: Large quanti-

in wool circles that Galveston had no rem

of that immense clip to that point, after
so much hes been said about her being
