Bill Took Advantage Of Their Love
for Sugar.
We were sittiug around camp fire
in the west relating stories of advent
ure.
: l had just finished speaking when an
Old prospector said. s:Well boys had
apeculiar experienoe with Indians in
the Black Hills country. We had
about ten pack mules. and our ridin'
horses, carrying provision for our
party.
About the middle OF one afternoon
a scout reported that we were beng
followed by q band OF redskins, who
evidently meant no good. After think
ing the matter over it struck me that
l could fix them so that we might gain
time enough to get out of danger. I
opened our last sack Of sugar, Injuns
like sugar better than tobacco, and
mixed bottle OF strychnine with it,
that l carried for wolves. Well, l just
lost that sack OF sugar, and it WASH
long before they were eating it. 1t
made them sick, and they hacked
each Others faces with their knives and
cut their ears off hoping to pacify the
great spirit so that he would spare
their lives, till some of them were a
great sight to look at.
We did not stop to see how many
died but l spose some Of them must,
because when / next crossed that part
OF the plains, beheld a most CHASTITY
sight, there were bones strewn all over
the ground, and on close inspection
they proved to be the bones of In

the feet. There were enough bones to

CONGRESS-.
At Last Takes Action.

A bill has been introduced at Wash
ingten requiring all baking powders
cont aiming alum and ammonia to be
so labeled. This is a step in the right
direction, and has been long foresha-
dowed by the action of state legisla-
lures, boards of health, food commits
sioners, etc., in the matter. The bill
affords needed protection to the pub
lie, for the evidence as to the injurious
effects OF alum and ammonia is very
heavy; but it will nevertheless be
fought bitterly by the manufacturers
whom it effects who are accustomed
to sell their goods as "pure Cream OF
Tartar" absolutely pure" etc.
The bill is something needed. Ii q
maker uses a drug in his powder, the
name OF which he does not want to
have printed on his label, it is prima
facie evidence that there is something
wrong. We hope the subject will be
vigorously prosecuted all over the
country, not only as regards baking
powder, but also all other food adult
erations.
The bill may incidentally benefit
the makers OF pure articles, but if it
should, this is only an additional
point in it's favor.

Care for Musical Instruments

Neither piano nor an organ should
be left open at night, or habitually
when not in use. The changes of tenn
perature are very hurtful to the tone
OF any instrument, and especially the
gathering of dampness, which not only
interferes with the tone and quality OF
the string and reeds, but is very
likely seriously to affect the works.
Pianos in particular should be kept
in as even temperature as possible,
since they are much affected by alter
ations OF heat and cold, dryness and
moisture; if thus exposed they require
very frequent tuning and are not sat
isfactory in action or tone. Care is
also equally desirable in regard
to other stringed iustruments-the
violin family, banjos, guitars, and the
like. In all OF these the strings are
much affected by exposure to damp
ness ana great changes OF temperature.
All fine instruments should be habit
ually kept in cases lined with baize or
flannel Good Housekeeping.

The Postmaster General of Great
Britain inaugurated a sensible reform
with the new year. Formerly atten-
ton could not be drawn to any par
ticular item in a newspaper except by
marking it. Any words written either
outside or inside the paper rendered
it liable to letter postage. Under the
new arrangement this rule has been
abolished. On the outside of the
newspaper may be written words d.

its contents, not in the nature of
comment OF any kind, but such words
as "See p. g." or 'See X'withn. This
