CHANGE.

If our brethren will use the Produce
Exchange, Raleigh. N. O., for handling
their eggs, poultry, butter, hides, tai
low, potatoes, cabbage, cotton, corn,
cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, oats, buck
wheat and all farm products, we be-
lieye that they will be benefited. Write
what you want to sell, and information
will be given as soon as possible. Eggs
in this market are now worth from 123

best egg market in North Carolina, and
one of the largest buyers of eggs is
located here, and who is prepared to
handle from 3 to 5 car loads of eggs per
week. Butter, chickens, cabbage and
Irish potatoes in demand. Turkeys
will do better, possibly, November and
December.

Parties wishing their wool worked

can color it. We make no charge for
greasing wool, except rolls, for which
we charge one cent per pound. We
would advise all parties having their
wool carded, not to grease it, as the
oil we use gives much better satisfac-
ton, in carding or spinning.
We will pay freight on all wool sent

to be spun or woven into goods.

that there is room in the building, on
one floor, 9Ox4O feet, to put the shoe

anxious to ecu the property at once,

lively interest in it and regard these re-
marks as general. The time to strike

know we must be more independent,
must live more at home, utilize our
own products, live on our own re-

you, nor has there been, that will give
the Allianceman that independence,

You can eat your beef and have the
hides tanned and made into shoes, har-

can eat your mutton and have your
wool worked into hats at your own
factory. You will thus save to the
State the amount of circulating me-
dunn which now goes out for these
things-nearly ten million dollars per
year. You will save also to the State

freight and the middle mans profits on
these things. Rally, brethren. Good

Boards and Morals.

A policeman on duty in the Jefferson
Market police court remarked that in
the course of Is years service he had
seen great many men brought up on
the charge of insulting women in the
street or elsewhere. "They do not re-
semble one another much" he said,
"except that in every instance they
wear full Boards I don't remember of
ever seeing a clean shaven, thoroughly
smart looking man at the bar on that
charge. Their whiskers are never trim
med to point either, but always grow
in struggling or careless way. have
never noted any exception to this, and,
so far as my opinion goes, think that
any man who gets up in the morning,
takes bath and shaves himself with a
bit of cold steel is apt to start out and
be decent, whereas the whiskeeed man
is not. read an article by Chauncey
Depew once. in which he said that the
passing of the cold steel over his face in
the morning always drove the fanciful
ideas of the night out of his head and
Strengthened him out for hard and
sensible days work guess there is a
good deal in it, though 1 am not able to
reason these things out as Mr.. Depew
does. But you can go bail for one thing,

papers that a man has been arrested for
insulting women you can picture him
in your minds eye as having shabby
set of whiskers. New York Sun.

1t Cures Cancer.

Some years ago the state department
at Washington received through the
minister of Ecuador to the United
States specimens of plant known as
cundurango, found in the province of
Loya, in Ecuador, to which marvellous
qualities in curing cancer were ascribed
The physicians in South America expert
mented ON this substance and reported
most wonderful cures. Its virtues are
said to have been discovered by accident
An Indian had been suffering fearfully
for long time from internal cancer,
and his wife undertook to relieve him
by shortening his life by poison. For
this purpose she selected the cunduran-
go, making a decoction of the bark. To
her astonishment the first dose appeared
to benefit the patient, and by the con-
tinuance of this remedy he was COM
pletely cured in short time. New

An Uneasy Plaster.

"The missus said l was ter git an un-

"a porous plaster is the most uneasy

"I'll give you one Of those. If it's not

IMPURITIES IN FOOD.
They Are Not as Common as Many Persons
May Suppose.

Singularly exaggerated ideas concern
ing the adulteration of food are very
generally held, according to DR.. II. w.
Wiley, chemist Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture Sand, for in
stance, is not sold with sugar-at least
in the United States.
The granulated and lump sugars in
the market are almost absolutely pure,
powdered sugar sometimes, though rare
ly, contains little -four or starch, and
low grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molasses and water they
are made to absorb in manufacture
Not as good report can b.. given of
sirups. There is very little pure maple
sirup, most of what is sold as such be-
ing a mixture of glucose or cane sirups,
with small proportion of the product
of the maple, while in an imitation ac-
tually protected by patent the maple
flavor is given by an extract of hickory
bark. Liquid honey is largely adulter-
ated with glucose. Of comb honey,
however, only that in bottles and jars
is impure, the old impression that comb
honey on the frame is adulterated hav-
ing been proved to be erroneous
Ground coffee is so largely adulterat-
ed with chicory, peas, beans, etc., that
it is rarely found pure, and even the
unground berry is initiated. Tea is rare
ly mixed with foreign leaves, but fire.
quently has its weight increased by the
addition of salts of iron and copper
materials quite prejudicial to health.
Cocoa and chocolate are largely adul-
terated with starch and sugar, and
products claimed to be greatly improved
as to digestibility may have little of the
virtues of the original cocoa bean left
in them.
A danger in canned goods is the use
of adulterated tin, which may contain
as high as 12 per cent of lead, the or
ganio salts formed by the corrosion of
the lead being always poisonous The
common practice of coloring canned
peas with copper is very Objectionable.
The use of preservatives, such as sali-
cylic acid, is not without risk, while an
occasional source of danger is the devel-
opment of nitrogenous bodies called
ptomaines in preserved meats. The
above are illustrations of the principal
food authorizations, which, though bad
enough, are insignificant in comparison
with the startling reports that have
been published Much the greater part
of foods we eat is pure and wholesome

Greek HunOr.

When, after Salamis, Xerxes was in
full flight for Asia, and the overcrowd-
ed vessel so the story ran, was laboring
in the storm, Xerxes, getting frightened,
asked the captain whether there was
any chance of safety. None" said the
captain, "unless the ship is lightened
of some of its passengers. Whereupon
Xerxes, turning to the Persians, ex-
claimed, "Now is the time to show your
loyalty to your king, for on you my
safety depends. " And without word
the we'll trained courtiers made obei-
sance and leaped into the sea.
Thus unburdened, the ship arrived at
the land, whereupon Xerxes presented
the captain with a golden crown for
having saved the kings life, and then
ordered his head off for having caused
the death Of so many noble Persians. -

A WOMAN Halter DIscoMFrTED.
He Had Reason TO Repent Asking n Ques-
tion About Eve.

tion ABOUT EVe
There is a crusty old bachelor on
Fourth street who is confirmed woman
hater and who never misses an oppor-
tunity for saying something sarcastic
and disagreeable about the fair sex.
But he met more than his match the
other day in a plucky little woman,
who, metaphorically speaking, wiped
up the earth with him, much to the de-
light of his friends, who were greatly
amused at his discontinue.
The old bachelor inquired why, when
Eve was manufactured of a spare rib,
q servant wasn't made at the same time
to wait on her. The little woman re-
sponded promptly: Because Adam
never read the newspapers until the sun
got down behind the palm trees, and
then, stretching, yawned out, Isn't sup
per most ready, my dear?' Not he. He
made the fire and hung the kettle over
it himself, I'll venture, and pulled the
radishes, peeled the potatoes and did
everything else he ought to do.
HE chopped the kindling, brought
IN the coal and did the chores himself,
and he never brought home half dozen
friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegranates.
The little woman stopped q L.oment
for breath and went on with renewed
vigor: "And Adam never staid out
till 12 o'clock at a political meeting
hurrahing for some candidate and then
scolding because poor Eve was sitting
up and crying inside the gates. He never
played billiards, rolled tenpins and
drove fast horses nor choked Eve with
cigar smoke.
He never loafed around the corner
groceries and saloons while Eve was
rocking little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he didn't think she was especial
ly created for the purpose Of waiting on
him and wasn't under the impression
that it disgraced man to tighten a
wife's cares little, That's the reason
that Eve didn't need hired girl, and
with it is the reason that her descend
ants do. "
She drew another breath and was
about to continue, when the bachelor
pulled his hat down over his eyes and
sneaked away amid the laughter of the
crowd. louisville Post

The Smith Family Ham.

"The average citizen is fond Of a
piece of sweet ham, but it is an absolute
waste to set before an uneducated palate
slice Of genuine old Smithfield that
has been two years in curing" said
Colonel Thomas Longley of Virginia
"The fame of the Smithfeld ham has
been spread to the uppermost parts Of
the land, and never yet knew a man
who was cognizant Of the merits of both
that didn't prefer the product Of old
Virginia to the choicest that ever came
from Westphalia. I can't describe the
process Of the formers treatment in de.
tail, but I know it is enveloped in ashes
good while and subsequently, buried
in mother earth, where it stays for many
moons.
"Some high flying epicures avel
that a Smithfeld should be iberallJ
drenohed with champagne while il
process Of cooking, but I don't thinl
wine is at all necessary. My mode is tt
parboil it till the skin comes off easily,
then put it in the baking pan and bastt
judiciously with vinegar and sugar.
Then it comes out a dish fit for the
Olympian gods OF course all the hams
that bear the name DO not come from
the little town Of Smithfeld, for tha
little hamlet couldn't supply one-hun
dredth part of the demand.
"a member of the universal Smitl
family, old Captain Isaac, for whom
the town was named, and who was if
l mistake not, contemporary of Gen
eral Washington, invented the process
of curing that part Of the hog in ques
tion, and today his imitators are scat
tered all over Virginia and Maryland.

Artificial Glaciers.

An excellent object lesson has been
given by Herr Koch, the German phys
icist, who wishes to illustrate the for
nation of glaciers to his students. He
took a square tray, having sloping
gutter, down which yellow pitch, re-
sembling colophony, which, like ice, is
plastic under pressure and brittle under
tension, was allowed to flow, the gutter
being first lined with very hot pitch so
as to give the main flow better hold
on the sides. Transverse assures, like
the crevices in a glacier, appear in the
middle of the stream, and smaller ones
join them from the edges. Where the
bed widens longitudinal crevices are
produced. London Times.
