to plant 1900 acres. beet seed enough TO

TO cover 1885 acres Of land.
In view of these facts. this enormous exc

The report Of the encouragement con-
tains the usual summary of the affairs and
proceedings of the department of justice
for the past year, together with certain
recommendations as to needed legislation
of various subjects. / cannot too heartily
indorse the proposition that the fee sys-
tenn as applicable to the compensation OF
United States attorneys, marshals, clerks
OF federal courts and United States COM
missioners, should he abolished with as lit
tie delay as possible. it is clearly in the
interest Of the community that the bust

shall be as small and as ineXpensively
conducted as the ends OF justice will al
low. The system Is thoroughly vicious
which makes the compensation Of court
officials depend upon the volume of such
business. and thus creates a conflict be-
tween the proper execution of the law and
private gain which can not fail to be dan
gerous TO the rights and freedom of the
citizen and an Irresistible temptation TO
the unjustidable expenditure OF public
funds. IT, in addition to this reform,
another was ineugurated which would give
to United States commissioners the final
disposition OF petty ofenses within the
grade of misdemeanOrs. especially those
coming under the internal revenue laws.

UnIucky Gems in America.

Opals have proved BONANZA down
in New Mexico, where two localities
are worked, one near Los Cerrillos
and the other in Grant County. The
former has been worked for many
centuries probably, as hundreds Of
stone hammers are found scattered
about the place. The mining has
been done by means of shaft sunk
seyenty-tive feet, at the bottom Of
which is lode running nearly east
and west. Thousands Of stones were
obtained during the last two years,
according to Mr.. Kunz, many Of them
fine blue color, quite equal to the
best Persian. A single stone has
been sold for about 1000. The dis
coveries have proved specially yalua-
bic at a time when the Persian mines
have almost ceased to yield. The
stones from the Grant County mines
are not an ideal turquoise blue, but
are often slightly tinted with green.
A heap of debris, fifty feet in height,
and quantities Of small fragments Of
wcathered turquoise show that this
locality, like the other, was extern
sively worked by the aborigines.
The use made of these stones by the
natives is said to be partly religious.
Opal mining has proved profitable at
Whelan, Wash, where this gem was
first found by Yonkers jeweler in q
heap of rock thrown out during the
excavation for a well. These fine
opals vary in size from half pea to a
hens egg, the smaller ones being fire.
quently Of very rich colors. The To-
cality where they are found is known
as Gem City now, possibly from the
fact that a settlement of twenty
miners has been formed at the mine.

A Natter of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and infame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrhpal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes Yet interruptions man.
ufacturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
ders so made, by all kinds of allurlng adj
vertisements and false representations.
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and all powders sold
with gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chem
ically pure cream of tartar and .bi-oar-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of 6rnr opJ ,anro Colioiopo ,onlarxr
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be ia
booed entirely.
DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the
Doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages of good baking pow
der.and the exemption from the dan
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. ''The
Royal" he says, contains nothing
but cream Of tartar and soda
refined to a chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening, gas. The two
materials used, cream Of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they are
combined in exact compromising
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them in the dough they
practically disappear, the substance OF
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas" Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those of
n well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warning seem
to be necessary.

Her Difficulty.

train was approaching station, said
to a man who sat at the farther end
of the compartment and was her only
fellow-p passenger:
Would you kindly tell me, sir,
What is the next station?"
"Bayswater, madam" was the
courteous reply.
Then would you mind, sir, when
We arrive, opening the door and help
ing me to get out?"
with pleasure, was the cordial
assent

explain, Il am well on in years, and

A Delicate and Daring Operation.

The constant aim of surgery Is to 70
duce the rate of mortality in certain
dangerous operations and with this OBJ
ject experiment is going on all the while.
These experiments are often continued
for long period Of time upon the dead
body before being once tried upon liv-
ing subject. This was the case with a
new operation which was tried for the
first time in this city. This operation Is
called symphyseotomy, and it is said to
be hardly less dangerous than the one
for which 1t was supposed to be a substi-
tute. It was intended to take the place
of the improved C@sarian operation.
Symphyseotomy consists of splitting
the bones Of the pelvis. It was tried
twice in Philadelphia since the first
operation Of the kind in this country,
which took place in New York, and 1t
was not followed by any disastrous re-
suit. In the record Of all the cases here
and in Europe since this operation was
introduced the mortality is lower than
the C@sarian method, and 1t is hoped it
may be perfected SO as to dispense with
the latter altogether. New York Cor.
