Infant Foods.

At meeting of the American Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Science
DR., Frederick Hoffman spoke about the
food preparations now SO largely used
for infants and children as subst: tutes
for mothers milk and other food Ac-
cording to reliable estimates the guam
tity of such artificial food annually con-
sumed in the United States amour is in
money value from About $4,000. GOO to
$4,000 900 The problem of artificial
food fer the rising generation, and par.
ticulaiiy during the first period of IL
struggle for life and survival. is very
important one. not only to the state, the
commonwealth and the family, but also
to the sanitarian and the chemist These
artificial foods mostly claim to be per
feet; few have been analysed by indie
pendent chemists, often with question
able accuracy or results, while many
are of unknown composition.-Hall'a

Fond of Pie and Milk.

4 medium sized. stout. dark complex
.oned man. neatly attired and evidently
foreigner, appears regularly every
evening at an eating house ut Washing
ton, and as regularly asks the waiter
who serves him, What kind Of pie have
you got today" The waiter names the
different kinds Of pie. including peach.
lemon. cranberry. apple and custard
The customer requests the waiter to
bring piece Of the pie first mentioned
and also glass of butterlnilk AS soon
as he has devoured this course he calls
for another piece of pie Of different
kind and glass of buttermilk. He then
continues to order pie until he has final
ly eaten five pieces of pie of different
kinds and drunk five glassfuls of but
termilk. The waiter who always attends
this pie eater says that he has been pat
ronjzing the house for some time. and
that he has never changed his order, but
always eats this strange combination of
food. Washington Letter.

Showing the White Feather. "

What is the origin Of Showing the
white feather" SIR
Several explanations have been
given of the manner in which the ex-
preston Showing the white feather,
originated, but only two are in any
way satisfactory. One is, that among
several tribes of American Indians a
white feather is the symbol of peace
During the Indian massacres which
attended the Revolutionary War three
families OF Quakers residing on the
bordersof Pennsylvania were saved bv
friendly Indians placing bunch Of
white feathers over the door. and tho
symbol being seen by the hostiles not
one OF the households so protected
was In any way molested, thonch
their neighbors on every side weya
mercilessly butchered. The Other
and more probable, explanation les
IN the fact that no game cock Of nnre e
breed has white feather, and the an
peaIance OF such in its plumage is re-,
garded as the evidence of cross-bread-
ing and consequent degeneration

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD TROUBLE.

The labor trouble on the Houston
and Texas Central railroad has about
it feature that is respectfully referred
to the attention OF the republican pol
iticlans at the north Of the Reed, In
gals and Hoar stripe. The cause OF
present trouble is the race question,
pure and simple, and the attention OF
said republicans is asked to be riveted
upon the fact that it is Northern and
not Southern white men who are max
ing this attack on the negroes, and
that it is Southern, not North
ern, white men who are defend
ing those negroes. Northern white
emissaries have come down to Hous-
ton and, officiously intermeddling, have
demanded of the Central railroad that
it discharge its negro employees.
The demand does not come
from the white men who
are working along side of those
negroes, but it comes from Northern
agitators, far removed from the Cen
trail railroad. AS was eminently right
and proper Messrs. Dillingham; and
Quinlan and Capt. Faulkner did ex-
actly right in Indignantly refusing to
comply with such demand and they
will be backed by the people of Texas
in such refusal. For so far as known
no charge of incompetency or miscon-
duct was brought against those ne
groes by the men making that de-
mand. 1t was simply the attempt of
Northern white men to GUST peacea--
BILE and competent negroes from their
positions. 1t is not believed in some
sections of the North that negro
has any show at all in the South, that
his rights are ruthlessly trampled I'M
der foot; and no doubt these white
men coming here with such inten-
tions as they declared, came from just
those sections in the North. At this
time then if this matter is reduced to
such race issue, there are two duties
to be performed-the Central must
protect its employees, and the people of
Texas by their encouragement OF that
railroad, must forever put at rest the
SANDER that the negroes rights in the
South are not safely guaranteed them.

commission.

IT SEEMS that Mr.. Hurley was lit
tie anticipatory and over sanguine in
his tribute to the vim and enthusiasm
of Fort Worth. That city is unques-
tionably led and backed by men OF
great energy and liberality and its
success in consequence has been
phenomenal. Yet the following edito-
rial, taken from among others of the
same character, in the Fort Worth
Gazette of Monday, shows that the
people as whole are not 80 wildly
Jealous to pour their money into a
common purse for the city's good, as
might have been supposed. The Ga
zette says: "Fort Worth calls itself
enterprising, and yet there are only
seventy-six men in all this city who
are willing to contribute $40 a month
to the chamber of commerce, an insti-
tuition that works without ceasing to
promote every project or plan or
scheme that can benefit Fort Worth
and every man in it."

THE Express airily remarks: "Tha
serial navigation scheme reported from
Chicago may be only correspondents
fake" or vagary of Imagination, but
people living today will see the time
when air ships carrying passengers
and freight will cause no more wonder
than does the telephone, the phone
graph or the electric light or motor of
today. The railway commission men
might as well begin to prepare for
this new emergency that will confront
them. An opinion from Attorney
General Hogg as to how high up a
states jurisdiction extends would
prove of interest now, in view of the
report from Chicago" Under the
common law we believe every free
holder is entitled to his light and air
right straight up until the blue vault
ed dome of high heaven is reached.
Under such legal construction if in
future days H. Sinful of The Express,
while gliding along in midair and
luxuriant comfort insists on pelting
humber humanity far below with
peanut shells and much used gum he
will quickly find himself adjudged a
public nuisance-even without the aid

COUNTY POLITICS.

Not for the past several years hal
the outlook been so favorable for the
election of the entire county Demo
cratic ticket in Travis. Two years age
part of the ticket was defeated. But
times have changed since then. The
threatening attitude of the Nationa
Republican party represented in Travis
county by two tickets-the Lily Whites
and the original Republicans, has un
doubtedly drawn many white Repub
licans over into the ranks of the De-
mocracy, a detection the extent O
which will show up on election day
Again it is hardly to be supposed thai
the split among the Republicans in
the city and county will hurt Demo-
cratic chances.

have been said of the county Demo
cratic tickets at previous elections

course, no swans any more than there are
