The reports Of The Government ana

A large number Of these articles have
been analysed, the samples having
been collected from dealers in all Soc
tions. The impurities found found
were principally alum and lime, both
unwholesome. The alum is used in
place of cream Of tartar because Of its
low cost. The lime, both tartrate and
sulphste being found, was present from
the use OF improperly refined cream Of
tartar.

shown no baking powder except the
Royal entirely free from some one Of

Preston B. Plumb.

Senator Preston b. Plumb, CT Kansas,
died very suddenly at Washington last
Sunday night of apoplexy.
For twelve years Mr.. Plumb has
served in the upper house of Congress,
representing the State OF Kansas. How
well he worked for her interests and the
interest Of the West is shown by the
high esteem in which he is held by every
one, regardless of party affiliations.
His death leaves a vacancy that Gov
ernor Humphreys will have to fill, and
he will hardly be able to fill the chair
with another man of such splendid abil-
ily and sterling worth as was possessed
by Mr.. Plumb.
John ], Ingalls,, the brilliant ex-Sena-
tor from Kansas, would have stood the
best chance Of going to the Senate again,
if he had not pampered to the Alliance
just before his opponents election. He
delivered speech that was intended to
gather in enough Alliance votes to in
sure Mr.. Ingalls, reelection, but it didn't
gather worth a cent. Since that time
he has tried to show his consistency by
following it up in the same strain, but
now it comes up as stumbling block,
and will probably keep him from attain
ing his much sought for end.
Is there a lesson in this. Even such
a great man as John j. Ingalls, has lost
the confidence of the people by his vacil-
lating course. Can you afford to go in
to ranks OF kickers and soreheads in the
hope OF political preferrment or com
mercial positions II you are a republi-
can, say SO, and stay by your party.

How Some Great Characters ARE
Judged By Scientific Meesurem emit.
From the Nerg York World.
Scientific Paris is just at present enthused
over new fad, well known in America
the shapes and measurements OF the heads
of the famous people. Among the recent
experiments, made with measure such as
is nsed by halter to shape hats TO order
are some extremely curious results. OF
| course, the exact dimensions Of the crani-
ums OF historic personages have to be So
/ cured from pictures and Dusts.
One OF the most irregular is that Of Vol
taire. which is almost pear-shaped, bullying
out suddenly and offering a curious number
OF indentations. IL this is the philosophical
| head-philosophy not unmixed with
poignant satire and cynicism-then the
legal Uranium differs radically from it.
NJ. Demange, one Of the ablest criminal
lawyers in Paris, the man who conducted
with tbs most consumate skill the defense
! Of the murderer Pranzini, has perfectly
round head.
Gen. lie Brun might represent the mill
tary head, almost oblong, but Gen. Ferron's,
brave and capable French commander, is
entirely round. The latter is prudent and
cautious in his movements.
Gambetta had very ordinary head, COM
the French political Uranium.
NJ. de Cassagnac has an enormous head,
almost perfectly round and quite ample
enough to harbor ali the different feuds to
which he has been party. If his head is
to be taken as an illustration Of combative-
ness, as shown in the numerous duels in
which he has been a principal, then NJ.
Henri Rochefort's, his rival in thst regard.
Is almost the opposite type-rather long,
narrow and Of a very irregular shape.
The head that wears a crown, or rather
should wear a crown, if the roYalIsts are to
be believed, is narrow in forehead and al
most regular in shape. The Due d. Aumale
aud the Due de Montpensier are similar in
regard to the shape Of the forehead, but
the latter's is enormous in its proportions.
Marshal MacMahon is a combination of
the military and the political "a narrow
forehead, small oblong head, a little like
Voltalres, but of much smaller proportions

but not so regular. very small head is
that of the Prince of Monaco, who has
never distinguished himself in any particu-
lar, while regularly long and narrow one.
almost the fac-simile Of foot, belongs to

The French scientists believe that race
and nationality have much to do with the
shape OF the head. The same military genius
who in one part OF the world has a long,
narrow head, in another part of the world
will be small aud round. According to
them the North Germans, Swedes, Nor
wegians and Russians are long-headed, de-
irving their origin from eastern sources.

BELOW SEA LEVEL
Gathering Salt From the Beds Of the
Colorado Desert.
From the San Francisco Chronicl

OAOA
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
SALToN, Jan. 11.-Salton is one of the
lowest points in the United States, being 26S
feet below the sea level. 1t is dreary spot
situated at about the end of huge valley.
From time immemorial Salton has been a
desert and for all time to come it will re-
main so. Except a few scant sagebrush
nothing grows on 1t nor can be made to
grow. Here lie the huge salt beds which
are now being worked by San Francisco
company, so what looks apparently a USE
less waste is really valuable land
The beds cover an enormous area and the
salt is scraped from of the surface and is
not, as some people imagine, mined in the
same way as gold and silver. The beds are
about six to eight feet in length, and often
larger, for they are artifcially made, and
in them oozes the salt. The only tools
which are employed to gather the salt are a
shovel and hoe. Then the crude salt is
loaded upon fiat cars and run down by a
locomotive into the mills, where it is
pounded up into salt for the table, for toe
dairy, and for such other purposes as is
needed. The amount of salt that can be
produced is incalculable. Indeed. there is
enough to supply the civilized world for all
time to come, and if there was failure of
salt anywhere the Colorado desert would be
able TO supply the demand.
In broad day, when the beds are seen
from the railroad cars, they look like an
immense inland osean, whose waters are Of
glazing white, upon whose broad bosom rise
innumerable mirages from a great city
blessed with churches aud cathedrals, whose
spires are as numerous as the masts on the
River Thames to great ocean steamships
and large sailing vessels. In early morn
ing, when the sun is rising, the scene is one
of unsurpassed splendor, for as the rays
strike the salty crystals they flash forth
various colored lights.
The only labor that can be had here is
Chinese and Indian, aud Mr.. Durbrow, the
manager, who has had considerable ex-
perience with the Indians, says that the
Indians of the Colorado desert are admira-
bic workers. Indeed. they appear to be
and are particularly ambitious. They have
built around the managers house quite a
little settlement, and they are epicures in
the manner OF food. Thsy are all men of
family. Their women, who are singularly
good looking. keep house for them, but do
no sort of manual labor except that con-
nected with the house. The bucks are stall
wart young chaps, and so we'll thought of
are they by Mr.. Durbrow that no pays the
Indians 81 so a day and the Chinese 81 IS a
day.

TEN THOUSAND MINERS OUT.

nellsville Region.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 9.-The great
strike in ConnellsviAe coke regions was
inaugurated this morning, and by to-
morrow every mine and coke works in the
region will be closed down. The miners, to
the number of about 10, 900, refused to 20 to
work to-day. the only men now working
being the coke drawers There are 5000
men employed at this work, and as soon as
they have drawn the coke from the ovens
they will quit. The strike is for an advance
in wages of l216 cents per ton, and against
ten per cent. reduction.
SIX THOUSAND MORE TO STRIKE
Scottdale dispatch says all of tricks
coke employees quit work to-day, but that
the works of Mcclure, Rainey and the
smaller operators were still running. By
tomorrow noon, however, 1t is ex-
pected that the entire force of the
Connellsville region, numbering over 16, 600
men, will be out. The workers say they are
we'll prepared for the strike. They and
their officials declare that they eau main
tain it for nearly three months before any
one will suffer. A riot occurred at the Fort
Hill coke works, near Dawson yesterday.
A number of drunken Hungarians attacked
Yard Boss Snyder and beat him unmerci-
fully. They also beat a man who was as
sisting Boss Snyder so badly that his death
is expected momentarily. No arrests have
yet been made, but warrants have been
sworn out 1t is reported that the fight was
precipitated by the present difficulties.
