IARnR IEGISLATION

A glance at State legislation for the
present year shows the tendency of the
times to throw ample protection about
labor in all its varied interests. Cali
fornia has established Board of Arbi-
tration to settle labor difficulties. Ar
kansas, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota,
Wyoming and New Mexico have enacted
laws prohibiting non-residents from serv-
ing as peace officers during labor diff
culties. An anti-boycott law, making
threats and violence penal offences, has
been placed on the statute book of
Oregon. In Michigan no licenses can be
issued to would-bc newsboys and boot
blacks who cannot show that in the pre-
ceding twelve months they attended
school. The consecutive service that
may be required of railway employees in
Minnesota and Colorado has been re-
duced A coal miners day in Wyoming
is now eight hours, which is also the
time fixed for laborers on municipal and
State works in Kansas and Idaho. In
NeDIdShd elSuJ lOuGS COuSJlJuJeS udy >
work for all laborers, servants and me-
chanics, farmers and domestic help alone
being excepted from the operations of
the act.
Illinois and Rhode Islond compel cor
porations to pay their help once week,
there being no exception in the case of
railway organizations, as may be seen in
New York In Indiana and Ohio pay
ment cannot be delayed longer than two
weeks, while this provision applies to
miners alone in Wyoming and Missouri.
The last named State also forbids with
penalty the blacklisting of employees.
The keeping of all general store sup
plies is denied to all mining and manu-
featuring corporations in Pennsylvania.
This, of course, has abolished the we'll
known and odious credit system which
undoubtedly led to glazing abuses. This
brief and incomplete summary shows
that not little has been done since the
year opened to favor the interests Of
wage-earners and give them coveted adj.
vantages.

ONE DOLLAR WELL INVESTED.

If you have bad breath, constipation,
pain in the small of the back, discolOred
skin, nervousness, or dizziness your only
wise course is to take DR.. David Kenne-

purities, regulates the kidneys and liver,
and thus restore a healthy glow to your
cheeks again. All druggists; one dollar

The farmers who have a good stock

The farmers who have good stock
of cows on hand coming in fresh about
this time, or 50 well kept and cared for
that they are giving a liberal flow of
milk, are right in the way of realizing
generous money from their stock during
the winter months.
The New York State fair is a model
in its way. Perfect order obtains all
the time, no games of any kind, no
brawling salesman, no distracting
amusement of any kind. Yet, with two
other would-be State fairs in the State,
this is one Of the most successful in this
country. Has this any significance ?
Of course there are honest tree
agents and honest nurseymen; but the
buyer should assure himself amply in re-
gard to both, taking nothing for granted.
The door to fraud is wider open here,
perhaps, than in any other legitimate
business, for the buyer is dependent
wholly on the integrity of the seller.

The future value of horses often de-
ponds upon the manner in which they
are kept during the first two or three
winters of their existence. Juft so they
get through until the grass comes is the
idea of many farmers.
1t will take more than one year of
good crops and prices to satisfy farmers
that the change for the better has come,
and in the meanwhile there should be
no let-up in endeavoring by all legitl-
mate to secure just and equitable legis-
lation, both national and State.

THE STRONGEST AND PUREsT.
The Otficial Report of the Minnesota Dairy
and Food Commissioner Shows the
Royal Baking Powder the Best
in the State.

The last report OF the Minnesota state
food and dairy commission contains the
details Of the state chemists experiments
and analysis to determine the strength and
keeping qualities of the various baking
powders. Samples of the numerous brands
on sale in this state were purchased and
first analysed to ascertain their leavening
power. The Royal baking powder is shown
by the tests OF both state analysts, Prof.
Eberman and Prof. Drew. to contain the
greatest amount Of leavening power of the
cream OF tartar powders thus purchased
and tested. Hence this powder is officially
ranked at the head of the list.
The report attaches great Importance to
a series OF experiments made to ascertain
the character, efficiency and keeping quail
ties of the powders. Baking powders that
vary in strength or that readily lose
strength before use, are unreliable and will
not give even results; besides, it is an indi-
cation of the use in their compromising of
improper ingredients. These tests were ap-
piled to a large number of samples of dif-
ierent ages of the three cream Of tartar
powders best known in Minnesota. They
showed the strength or lea vening power of
the Royal very much greater than that of
the others. The uniformity OF strength Of
all the samples of Royal tested was re-
markable. Its leavening power was practi-
cally unimpaired even in the oldest speci-
mems. The difference in the amount of
leavening gas in different samples OF both
the other brands was so great as to seri-
ously impair their usefulness in baking.
As much as "a per cent loss was found in
samples a few months old All the samples
of Royal examined by DIR. Drew were re-
ported OF satisfactory strength and quality.

veals in a delightfully."- innocent manner
the secret of McAllister's success in social
matters. which is TO be found in his pro-
found belief in his own personality and
destiny AS a little biography of McAllis-
ter it is charming, but in any comprehen-
sive sense as a study of the self constituted
aristocracy of New York the book is ALSO
lutely worthless. McAIlister tells anec-
dotes of himself with an innocent conceit
which il simply exquisite TO notice And,
on the whole, as a work of humor, al
though unintended. it is equal almost TO
ANYTHING which Mark Twain has written.
Mr. McAllister undertook the work Of
authorship with q reluctance which was
partly assumed. His publishers say that
he is one Of the two or three authors with
whom they have dealt who ever got he
best Of them in business transaction. To
use the expressive words of one Of the pub
fishers. 'McAllister was shrewd enough 70
make us ante up on the price two times
before he actuslly got 70 work upon the
book. and besides that he demanded his
check for the whole amount on the very
instant when he brought the manuscript
into the office" The price paid him il q
trade secret, but it was in the nelghbor-
hood of $4,000. and before the book was
published the publishers had received or
ders enough TO cover this expenditure
They were q little shaky about il for a
while, but now regard it as one OF their
most profitable undertakings in the last
year or two.

manuscript. seeming TO be wholly absorbed
in the delightful composition He would
not dictate the work TO an amanuensis,
partly because he had no faith in his capac-
ity for dictation, and partly because he
had an absurd fear that any amanuensis
he might employ would not be above the
temptation of revealing some of the
secrets of the book. The result was that
the entire manuscript was in his own
handwriting, and no person ever saw a
page of it or was consulted about the
treatment of the subject.
McAllister got somewhat nervous as ne
was finishing the book. for his pride had
become aroused, and he was extremely
anxious that the book should find popular
itv. In the beginning he treated the mat
ter as though il were a bore. although the
publishers suspect that this was only a
business subterfuge designed 20 coax a
larger price, IL possible, out Of them. But
as the work progressed and 1t was talked
about in the newspapers AcAllister found
his pride stimulated 80 that he would have
been grievously disappointed had it ap-
peared that there was no public interest in
the work. This interest was manifested
10 him by the vast nG N Der Of applications
which he received from Representatives Of
newspapers for hints or preliminary ex-
cerpts. or in the desire OF conversation OF
any sort respecting the book He did not
conceal his delight 81 this manifestation of

To Organize "A Grand Lodge in the Ha-

The Hawaiian island, now have six
lodges, still subordinate to tAe supreme
lodge, but the matter of organizing grand
lodge is now being discussed. The proba-
bility is that a grand lodge win be formed
ere long. The order in those islands has
heretofore been under the direct fostering
care of David Dayton, deputy supreme
chancellor, to whom much of its progress
Is due.
In showing the percentage of increase in
membership in the several grand juris-
dictions, out of fifty that have made the
largest increase, Rhode Island stands TWEEN
seth. When the size Of the state Is taken
into consideration this fact must be en-
souraging to the brothers.
Arkansas stands first in the endowment
rank. One-third of its membership is rep
resented
From July l to date $40 new members
have been added to the endowment rank,
and nearly S2,OOO,0OO new endowment has
been issued.
Minneapolis is out early for the supreme
lodge in 1894 The Pythian Advocate says:
Remember that Minneapolis bids for the
1894 session of the supreme lodge. Repre-
sentatives to this august body can make a
note of it. -
