Tho Paddock md conrer BILLS.

The meeting OF the Farmers Mutual Denehs
Assn did one thing Of note. 1t sat In Judgment
upon tho relative merits of tho Conger Lard Bill
and Paddock Pure Food Bill giving tho preference
to the latter. This is matter Of no little practical
Importance, and there was no politics in 1T. The
only question Is which one OF them is best calcu-
lated to protect the producers and consumers This
Endorsement will have no little weight. No class
Is much interested In preventing adulteration as
farmers. From tho standpoint Of consumption they
rstan the relation to tho subject as the rest
of the country and IL Is clearly in the interest OF
production to discourage limitations. Pure lard 10
highly important. butpurity Is desired in all kinds
of food. The Paddock Bill requires ell drugs and
food products offered for salo to be branded. and
prohibits aduteration under penalty, All tho
farmers organizations Of the country favor the
Paddock Bill.

The dry goods man of to-day is bet
ter posted than his predecessor. In
fact this Is true Of every branch Of
commercial business. The other day
in the house Of Farwell & Co. country
merchant asked . salesman what was
the meaning Of delaine. 1T Is French
for WOOL" was the prompt reply. One
OF the heads Of the great house said Of
the one who had informed the country
merchant, That man knows every
thing about all the goodsin this house. I"
He called him over. and In response to
several queries the salesman gave the
following replies:
Bandana is an Indian, word, and
means to bind or tie. because a ban
dana is tied in knots before it is dyed.
Velvet is from the Italian vellute--
woolly. Diaper is from the Greek
diaspron, signifying figured. Serge is
from the Spanish Xerga, wooden
blanket. And the word blanket is
from the name Of the first manufac-
tlrer of that article. Thomas Blanket
OF England. who brought out the first
one In 1910. Duen is from Normandy.
Calico is from Calicut, q town in India
where calico was first made. ..
All these replies were made With
rapidity. Chicago Tribune.

What Musk Ii.

Most people take it for granted that
because musk Is sold In what is called
p1d, therefore it il "A vegetabI.
product. But the truth is that it is en-.
tirely an animal product, being a sub.
stance found in q two or three incl
sac in the body Of the little musk deei
OF Asia. This sac. when tied up and
dried. goes by the name of a pod
among the hunters who bring 1t into
market.
Probably there are few things sub
tected to such adnlteration, as one part
OF pure musk will scent thousands Of
parts of some other powder mingled
with it. and as the pods sell for from
e15 to $50 apiece the adulteration has
its profits. 1t Is, indeed, so pungent
that when Just fresh it has been known
to produce violent bleeding at the nose.
and many people are SO susceptible to
1t as to have sad headaches brought
about by contact with the pure article,
and while a suspicion Of it is very
agreeable TO many persons one atom
becomes offensive, as the case is with
patchouli and many other odorous
substances.
1t was formerly largely used in
therapeutics, especially In the Orient,
having become disused as much from
the difficulty OF obtainingit in a pure
state as from anything else. and it is
now seldom given except In hysteria
and biccough.-San Francisco Argo-
maui.

lived Among C.nnie.Is:

Beresiord Alfred. Bsron d'Este, and
his wife. nee Harvey, whose first Hts;
band was the viscount de None. are at
the Southern. The Baron d'Este Is a
Ffenchn1an Ls birth, an Italian by
descent, an Englishman through bis
mother, and man OF many countries
BY virtue Of travel and inclination. He
wears his title lightly, as one who has
seen much Of the world and lived
among those nations where rank Is
levelled by necessity; and such il in
deed the case.
In conversation with h fepfesen ta-
tive Of the Republic be said that he had
spent much Of his life In tho British
colonies. The Baron is . handsome
man, with q sunburned face; speaks
English like an Englishman, and does
not look over 40 years of age. though
he may be older. As young man he
spent several years in Australia, but
In 1870, when cotton was commanding
very high price, he, in company with
number of friends, went into the
business OF raising the costly product
on the Fiji Islands. The islands at
that time were inhabited largely by
cannibals, and white men. though as
sisted by the friendly natives. carried
their lives In their hands, and went
constantly armed.
The sister Of my first wife" said
the Baron, was shot down by the ma
tivcs, along with her husband and
their two children. The cannibals then
attempted to carry of the dead bodies.
intending to eat them at their leisure
In the mountains, but fortunately re-
endorsements came to our aid and
the savages were driven back. My
business partner died. and some of the
wretches pilfered his grave Of two
thigh bones. which they carried Of to
their mountain retreat as trophies; but
! found out who had been guilty OF the
dissertation. and succeeded in recover
ing the bones.
Il was once on the point Of tasting
human flesh myself. Some Of the ma
tives had been assisting US to build q
house, and the completion Of the work
was celebrated with feast. In the
course Of the dinner / helped myself
from dish whose contents resembled
pork, and was about to taste OF 1t when
q friendly native nudged me with his
elbow and whispered one suggestive
and sufficient WORKMAN ! needed
NO further explanation; but 1t must
have been great disappointment to
the cannibals, who would have been
much pleased to think that q white
man had eaten human flesh. Our life
was certainly dangerous one, but
cotton was selling high and we made
money. In 1873 the English took pos
session Of the island. l gladly joined
their forces, and the cannibals were
all either killed or made prisoners.
In 1873 the Baron left the Fiji Islands
