Not Too Much Gold.

Gold-not yellow, but the hue of the
precious metal-yields the most satisfy
ing color sensation of which the human
retina is capable. It behooves the de-
signer to employ it most sparingly, save
where an effect of utmost splendor is
aimed at. Unhappily many persons with
no right to splendor desire to be splen-
did; everybody, seeing that society has
become impatient of sumptuary laws,
has legal right to be as splendid as he
can.
Every hackney driver on his cab, every
publican on his premises, every publisher
on the miserable cloth covers of his
Christmas books, may vie with his neigh
Dor and rival in the cheap and lavish use
of what is the ideal of costliness and
rarity in the fictitious display of what
used to be the emblem of truth-pure
gold.
The evil resulting from this is twofold.
Gold has alike ceased to be used by the
designer or regarded by the beholder
with any reverence, for, taking excess
i've advantage of that property which
makes it possible to spread it in infinite
simaDy thin layers, it is used to impart
merit to faulty design and spurious
value to cheap material. 1t is not sin
gle jackdaw, but every contemplate or
obscene bird, that faunts itself in pea
cocks plumes.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Hotel RifIs In England.

The author of Portugal Old and Newt
finds fault with English hotel keepers for
using printed form of bill on which the
plain requirements of simple traveller are
lost amid a multitude of items. The result
Is that when a guest pays for days and a
nights lodging he is positively almost
ashamed at finding due registry of his hav-
ing wanted neither liquors, nor stationery,
nor warm baths, nor doucbe baths, nor
shower baths, nor pots Of jam, nor the hotel
hairuresser, and is apt TO reflect what a
poor shufiiing imposter of guest he is to
have had so few requirements.

Hearing the statement made in Holly
Springs that remarkable negro woman
freak lived only few miles from this
town, your correspondent determined to
obtain the facts in the case.
A middle aged negress greeted the visit
or. The woman is quite dark, of a pro-
nounced African type Of physiognomy,
8 feet 3 inches tall, and in fair health, but
has never had any children. She wore a
white cotton turban tied about her head
and tucked in at the back to support the
immense weight of her hair. This she re-
moved and laid upon the table and un-
wound the braids of her wonderful hair,
which went many times aroundher head
and dropped upon the floor.
1t was indeed an amazing sight. Three
braids almost as thick as a mans arm
close to the head, but tapering to the
thickness of a finger at the ends, closely
plated and measuring feet inches,
braided as it is, In length. 1t looks a
good deal like Spanish moss, but is dark
er, crinkled and grizzled, coarse and al
most repulsive TO the touch, suggesting

Has a Valuable Antnrrnnh Rnnk.

Mrs Estes Rathbone is the possessor OF
one of the most valuable autograph books
In the country. The collection was former
ly the property of her father, Lewis D.
Campbell who represented Ohio in con
gress in 1876. The first signature is that OF
President Fillmore, who wrote his name
on Aug 5, 1850. Beneath this in order are
the signatures Of his cabinet, headed by
that of his eloquent secretary of state,
Daniel Webster. The members of the
Thirty-first congress inscribed their names
in full under the headings of the states
which they represented.
Among these are the characteristic hand
writing of Elbridge Gerry, Robert Win
throp, Wendell Phillips, Thaddeus Ste
vens, Jefferson Davis, Robert Mclean.
AlexaHderStephens and Robert c. Schenck.
Another interesting collection of signatures
is that Of the officers and members of the
Ohio constitutional convention of 1891
The president Of this convention was the
late Chief Justice Waite, with Lewis d
Campbell as vice president. Among the
recent signatures in the book are those of
President Harrison and his cabinet

BOTANY IN WINTER.
Though Dormant, Many Plants Are Com
parativeiy Wide Awake.

Though many Of our native plants lie
| dormant In the winter, the time is not lost
| even for them. We perhaps go into the
| lanes or fields and see only withered stalks
or ripe fruit waiting to be picked or shaken
! off. We say 10 ourselves that the year is
| finished and nothing more is to be done till
] life reyiyes with the first warm days of
spring. This idea, however, is quite mis-
taken, for the botanist who has the good
| fortune to be in the field in winter sees
! things that are quite unknown to the sum
mer rambler
He soon learns that, though life may be
dormant or even extinct in the dead stalks,
yet they are not therefore merely numbering
the ground and waiting for decay. In many
Of our native plants the adaptation of the
means 10 the end does not cease with life
and the dying or dead stem is often modi-
fed TO help to protect or disperse the seeds.
Winter botany has been little studied,
but there is much to be learned. For in
stance, the dead, unsightly umbellifers so
common in every hedge are still playing
their part Instead of the green, flexible
stem found in the summer, we see stiff,
elastic stalk, with thin whiplike tips, from
which the fruit, separating from the axis,
dangle from one corner. Any one who has
seen boys throw pellets of clay by means of
a switch and has afterward forced his way
through dead, umbelliferous stems, like
those of the wild chervil will at once re-
alize the great use of the elastic stalk, the
whfplike tip and the divided carpophore
with its dangling fruit. Each passing ami
NAL and every breeze bends the stalk
which, springing back, tends to fling the
fruit well beyond the limit of the ground
exhausted by the parent plant. Thus the
elasticity of the dead stem may be as inn
portant TO the species as any character in
the living plant
Many annual plants, however, have burrs
and in these species the dead stem is more
flexible and tougher, so that it bends and
rubs the fruit against the fur Of an animal
or against our clothing. The different char
acter of the dead stem will at once be rec
ognized in the wild carrot, the ripe burr
like fruit of which curl inward, so that they
cannot be shaken off, but come away few
at time when the plant is stroked by any
thing rough.
This is merely one example Of what can
be observed in late autumn and winter, but
any one who has visited beech or oak
wood during q gale in the fruiting season
will understand why such fruit grow on the
tips of long flexible branches, instead Of on
thick stems The singing blow that can
be given by an acorn under these circum-
stances will soon convince the naturalist of
the important part played by the flexible
branch. Even the gale that tears off large
arms may be of great use to the species,
though ruinous to the individual tree

THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURES
Looking After the Alum and Ammonia
Baking Powders

Looking After the Alum and Ammonia
Baking Powders
A bill for an act in relation to the
manufacture and sale of baking pow
ders, to prevent fraud and preserve the
public health has been introduced in
! the legislature at st. Paul. The bill
is intended to prevent the adulteration
of baking powders with alum or am
monia, imposing proper penalties to en-
force the law.
Dr. o. s. Binswanger, professor of
chemistry, ETC., medical department
University of Oregon, made an exami-
nation some time ago of the baking
powders found in the Portland stores;
the result of which appeared in the
Oregonian: DIR. Binswanger then ex-
pressed himself as follows:
81 have just finished an analysis of
the principal baking powders sold in
this market, with the following start
ling results:
Hercules" This powder contains
ammonia.
Crystal" This powder contains
alum.E
Double Quick" This powder con-
tains alum.
"Silver Star" This powder contains
alum.
white Lily" This powder con-
tains alum.
''Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder
This is pure cream of tartar powder
and contains neither alum nor am
monia.
1t will be observed that DIR. Prices
was found by DIR. Binswanger to bea
pure cream of tartar baking powder
and the only brand free from alum,
ammonia or any impurity.
Following is list of the more widely
known brands that DR.. Drew, chemist
for the Minnesota State Dairy and
Food Commission, as well as other
chemists of high standing, have ex-
amined and found to contain alum,
some Of which contain both alum and
ammonia. Many of the alum and am
monia powders are labeled and adver-
tised as absolutely pure" to mislead
the public. The condemned powders
given ia this list are sold pretty gener-
ally through Oregon and Washington
Calumet" "Forest City, "Grant's
Bon Bon," "Hotel," "Globe," "Puri-
TAM "Snow Bali" Government"
Palace Loyal" columbia"
Home" Monarch "Unrivaled,"
"Chicago Yeast" "Echo," "Perfec-
tion," "White Rose" "Hatchet,"
Grown"
In addition to the above list there are
many brands sold with a prize. 1t is
safe to reject all baking powders sold
with prize, as the tests show they are
composed largely of alum and cost but
a few cents pound. Also refuse any
baking powder sold for twenty-five
cents pound, or less; it is sure to con-
tain alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impure powders at the risk
of health. Aside from the question of
the health or wholesomeness of these
condemned powders, and viewed from
the standpoint of economy alone,
pure cream of tartar baking powder,
such as DR.. Binswanger and other high
authorities report DR.. Prices to be, and
from its greater known strength and
unquestioned purity should prove more
economical to the user in every way
