Tips on Candy.
From an Exchange. I

Never expect to get any kind of pure
candy for less than forty cents pound.
1t was my friend the foreman of big
candy mandatory who spoke. His
name is not Pa lama, but very near it;
and as it is as near that as | can get and
he does not object | always let it go at
Paama.
The nuts, the flavoring and the labor
on all bOnbons and fancy candies make
the actual cost to the manufacturer at
least 30 or 30 cents pound. Don't
think that we are in the business for
love and that you can get good candy
for 20 cents pound. We are not selling
gold dollars for 80 cents.
What is the purest candy made-the
least harmful for children to eat?
1t makes no difference, all fine candy
is equally pure. By pure candy mean
that made of the best refined sugar fresh
fruit flavorings, vegetable coloring and
fresh eggs. All that costs. Pistache
nuts alone now cost 80 cents pound
and pure black chocolate from 80 to 40
cents. So you can see why candy to be
good must cost at least 40 cents a pound.
There are limitations of all these ingre-
dents on the market, and they are used
extensively by all the cheap candy
houses. They are put together so clev-
erly, too, as frequently to deceive the
most sensitive palate. But they can't
deceive the stomach.
Marsh mallows are as little injurious
as any candy, are they not?
Oh, no; half the marsh mallows are
frauds. The real marsh mallows are
made simply of whites of eggs, sugar
and gum arabic. A compound which
we call lilly squasy' is used to initiate
this with. 1t is made up mainly of glue
and flour. The glue is very indigestible,
and, of course, these fake marsh mall
lows are very bad things to eat. Equally
of course, they are cheap. Nearly every
mother seems to think that if they give
their children marsh mallows its not
like giving them candy; that they are
harmless. That's all nonsense. If candy
is at all injurious to children marsh NAL
lows are just as harmful any other
bonbon.

TFrom Boston Advertiser. !

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, if not exactly
making two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, like DR.. Johnson's
typical benefactor, is trying hard to
make one dollar in food preparation do
the work of two dollars, which would be
a great deal better. He declares in a re-
cent publication the cost of food ma
terial absorbs half he income of ninth
tenths of our people; that the waste of
food amounts to more than all the cloth
made in our factories; and that we con-
sumo pound of coal for every pound of
food that is cooked for our breakfast and
dinner tables. We cook in the United
States, he says, at least $1,000, 900. 900
worth of meat, fish, grain and vegetables
in year, and of that sum we lose ST.
900, 100000 by bad cookery. Being a
light eater, and subsisting on one dollar
a week for food alone, Mr.. Atkinson pre-
fers the oil or gas stove to the ponderous
Grange" or ''cOok stOve," which he
thinks an invention of Satan. He adds
this calculations: | gave a seven-course
dinner to my whist club and friends, in
Guiding oranges and coffee, which cost ID
cents each for the food material. l gave
dinner of four courses, soup, fish, meat
and vegetables, and mush with molasses
for dessert to nine of the poorer students
at Harvard who want to economize :;
there were also three others; each had a
pound and half of strong food and the
cost of u was 81 cents. And yet the
authorities made us pay 81 each for our
commencement dinner OF four courses, a
month ago! The miracle of the five
loaves and two small fishes is not re-
peated yet by Mr.. Atkinson, but he is
making approaches towards it. He says,
and no doubt, very truly, that laborer
whose wife knows how to choose meat
as well as to cook it, can live on one dol
lar week, and much better than the
average man fares, though this would
compel her to buy the poorer kinds of
beef. But for two dollars a week the
laboring man can buy the best, always
excepting canvas-back ducks and tender
loin beef; and that in Boston, hard
working man can live well for 20 cents
day, and woman at light work for
1874 cents. l have no doubt of this, for
l know family which lives better than
most persons, SO far as food goes, for
Sill week, cooking included But
this requires great care and intelligence
in buying and preparing food.

THE PUZZLE
is SOLVED At LAST

Three months ago we offered pair of
shoes to the first person that would solve
the puzzle on our Boot and Shoe wrap
ping paper, and on August 10th B. w.
Bunker handed in the following correct
solution and received the prize:
"Our following rules are to inform
the public generally that in everything
belonging to the Boot and Shoe trade the
undersigned stands a No. in the esti-
nation of thousands of ladies and gentle
men who purchased their goods at our
store. The mystery can be easily ex-
planned. Our stock is equal in all re-
spects to any in the market.
Small prof s and quick sales content us,
and kind treatment, fair dealing and
strict attention to business are our rules.

right hand corner:

boots; if you are homely, hoe your

The New I DIX sun says that MT.
Mills, in his opening speech in Ohio, has
hoisted the flag of defeat. The Sun does
not like Mr.. Mills nor his policies, and
believes that every time he opens his
mouth, advocating his free trade ideas,
he damages the Democratic party in the
eastern and central portions of the
country. But Mr.. Mills has done more
than that in Ohio. He has heretofore
been a consistent bi-metalist and free
coinage man, but in that speech he de-
clared against free coinage, and there
has been but one conclusion on the SUBJ
iect and that is that the Texas free trader
and Grover Cleveland are trying to make
q combine on the presidency and the
speakership. Such combinations are al
ways beaten.

In another moment or two Lady Kester-

she was far too discreet to do any such

SAYS HIS FAuHER WAS EATEN.
A Former Missionary Tails Some Re-
markable African Stories.

markaOle AFRICAN Stories.
From the Memphis Appeal Avalanche.
DALLAS, TEX, June IA man with a
remarkable story has turned up in Dallas.
His name is W. F. Yates, and he says he is
the son Of j. G. Yates, a missionary who
went out from Jacksonville, Miss, in 1S4S,
and was devoured by csnnibals in 1875. He
was reared in missionary camps, and as he
grew up he took to the work himself, and
has been engaged at it twelve years in
Africa. He relates stories of personal adj
venture of thrilling interest.
In 1876 he went on an expedite on to Lake
Albert Nyanza, where he and two others
were captured by cannibals. They were
imprisoned in hole in the ground and COW
cred with logs. Here an attempt was made
to fatten them for the feast day by throw
ing them human flesh and bread fruit.
Eight days they were thus confued, when
Henry M. Stanley came up with posse
routed the natives, killed forty OF them and
freed the captives. be then joined the
Stanley party and went with them to Liv-
ingston river, where he took charge of the
Rooves Grove Baptist mission.
Here he remained until 1873, when the
natives suddenly formed dislike for him
and confined him in a mud house to fatten.
One day they took him out to exercise, and
be began amusing the two guards by play
ing tricks. Ae snatched the club Of one
and again eluded the soup. Afterward he
engaged in exploring and establishing mis-
sions on the Congo river. He speaks
thirty-six of the languages of that country
and he claims to have had personal ac-
quaintance with David Livingston. He
was borp in Tankatango, in the southern
part Of Congo, and was reared principally
on Lake Morocco
His story is credited, as there are people
in Dallas, among whom are DIR. s. Hayden,
editor of the Teras Baptist and Herald,
who are acquainted with his Mississippi
connections.
