EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS.

Every body eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
terest. There was a time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation to a delicate
stomach. That time has passed. 1t
was good many years ago. The
crackers of the present generation are
as different as day from night. There
are good crackers and bad crackers /;
fresh crackers and stale crackers; and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers in the coun-
try who sell stale, unpalatable crack
ers because they can get them cheap
and make big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and by and by, when their
cracker trade is all gone, and they
don't sell box in week, they look
surprised and say: Funny how peo-
ple's tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any more"
Don't they though? People don't
care for stale, unwholesome crackers,
that's true, but they do care for a
cracker that is pure and fresh, and
altogether delightful as an article of
food.

Cruel Joke on a Married Couple.
Lieutenant P. r. Brown, U. s. A, and
bride, who were married on Monday at
Phillipsburg, were the victims of ludi-
crous practical joke at the hands Of their

to look and act like old married people.
Meanwhile their baggage was holding
an impromptu reception in the baggage

and upon one of them huge card, care

brass tacks, with the inscription:

The American Biscuit Co.

has a manufacturing capacity of 800
barrels of flour daily. This enormous
quantity it makes into greater va
riety Of goods than any other bakery
in the United States OF America, and
yet is scarcely able to fill its orders.
1t is turning out more crackers to-day
than it ever did before, and the trade
is still growing. Why is it? 1t is
simple enough. Their crackers are
the best that are made. People who
try them invariably want them again
and the grocer who sells them always
finds that they not only prove a good
source of revenue to him, but make
his store popular with the people.

strange ELECTS of Extreme Cold.

DR.. Moss Of the English polar expedi-
ton of 1857 among many other things,
tells of the strange effects OF the c,z-
treme cold upon the candles they burned.
The temperature was from 35 to 90
degrees below zero, and the doctor says
that he was considerably discouraged
when, upon looking at his candle, he
discovered that the flame chad all it could
do to keep warm" 1t YVES SO cold that
the fame could not melt all of the tai
low of the candle, but was forced to ent
its way down, leaving a sort of skeleton
candle standing. There was heat
enough, however, to melt odd-shaped
holes in the thin walls of the tallow.

o'clock as we struck the curve at good

FIRST TO GREET COLUMBUS.

EFhea the feast is spread in our countrys
name,
When the nations are gathered from far and
near,
when east and west send up the same
Glad shout, and call ito the lands: Good
cheer
when north ana south shall give their bloom
The fairest and best OF the century born,
-AOh- then for the king of the feast make room
Make room, We pray, for the scarlet thorn
cgot the goldenrod from the hillsides blest
Not the pale arbutus from pastures rare,
Nor the waving wheat from the mighty west
Nor the proud magnolia tall and fair
Shall Columbia unto the banquet bring.
They, willing of heart, shall stand and wait;
For the thorn with his scarlet crown. is king
Make room for him at the splendid fete!
DO we not remember the olden tale?
And that terrible day of dark despair,
When Columbus, under the lowering sail
Sent out TO the hidden lands his prayer'
and was 1t not he of the scarlet bough
Who first went forth from shore to greet
THAT lone grand soul, at the vessels prov,
Defyiug fate with his tiny fleet:
Grim treachery threatened, above, below,
And death stood close at the captains side,
when he saw-oh ioy.-in the sunset glow,
The thorn-tree's branch o er the waters glide
Land, Land ahead" was the Joyful shout
The vesper hymn DER the ocean swept
The mutinous sailors faced about;
Together they fell on their knees and wept
ar dawn they landed with pennons white;
They kissed the sod OF San Salvador;
Bui dearer than gems on his doublet bright
Were the scarlet berries their leader bore;
T1sorny and sharp, like his future crown,
BAood.rcd, like the wounds in his great hear
made
Vet AN emblem true of his proud rcnown
whose glorious colors shall never fade.

A Volcano at Sea.

Last fall there was a strange occur
ence near the island of Pantellaria.
between Sicily and Tunis, which would
have filled the imagination of Homer
or Virgil with pictures of super
natural monsters and poetical fancies
about the eXtravagant doiugs of the
deities of the sea. submarine volcanic
eruption occurred there. and the in
habitants of the island saw what
seemed like some great fish disporting
himself in the troubled water, while
columns of smoke arose around him.
Those who ventured near to the scene
in boats saw hot volcanic bombs. com
posed of black scoriaceous material
rising TO the top of the water. and there
running and darting about in the most
singular fashion under the impulse of
the steam which they discharged. Some
bounded more than sixty feet up in the
air as the steam exploded. Such cut
bursts Of heated matter from the bed of
the sea furnish, perhaps, an even more
impressive indication than ordinary
volcanic eruptions do of the strange
conditions prevailing at no great depth
beneath the surface of the earth

The ancient port of Old Harbour,
island of Jamaica, West Indies, which
was place of considerable importance
a hundred years before New York was
settled by the Dutch. was reopened a
week or two ago. Old Harbour was
the first port established in Jamaica by
the Spaniards soon after the discovery
of the island by Columbus on his second
VOYAGE in 1494, and was for a consider
able period the principal port of the
island. One of the inlets of the haroor
is called Galleon Bay, and it is stated
that the Spaniards built number OF
ships there. The vicinity has many
reminiscences of Columbus in the names
of bays and incidents connected with
the great discoverer. Old Harbour port
was closed by the British in the present
century. 1t is couple of miles from
the railway, and for many years this
trend of trade had left it practically de
serted. The people of the port are talk
ing great things about renewed pros
perity for the historical spot.

Anrurms Forty Miles High.

The scientists Of the Royal Danish
academy have made public the results
Of some interesting experiments, which
were conducted for the sole purpose of
ascertaining the exact, or at any rate
the approximate, height of the aurora
borealis. At Godthaab M. Adam Paul
sen, with two theodolites situated only
four miles apart, found that the height
of different auroral displays varied from
one to forty miles! Near Cape Fare
well, with a base line of three-fourths
of a mile in length, the best calcula-
lions obtainable placed different aurora
at from one to ten miles in height; at
Spitzbergen it was shown that they
range from a height of one-third of a
mile to eighteen miles.
In this case it will not prove uninter-
esting to mention some of the remark
BILE opinions entertained by the early ex-
perimenters in this line. Flogel esti-
mated the height of the various aurora
observed by him at from 80 to 80 miles
above the earth; Reimann found that
one observed by him was at least 800
miles high, and Nordenskjold's earlier
deductions gave such phenomena an av-
erage height of 1875 miles. Then Leem.
strome came forward with the announce.
ment that he had taken notes and OF
servations on an auroral display that
was not separated from the earth by
more than l 900 feet, while Hildebrand-
son concurred to the extent of declaring
that many of the displays were below
the clouds.-St. Louis Republic.

ability to express themselves. The girl
hesitated and seemed sullen when adj

his kindness to nonpaying patients.
