THE legislature of Massachusetts has passed an act dividing the town of Long meadow into two towns, under the names of Longmeadow and East Longmeadow. For thirty years the two sections have been at bitter variance, the old part seek ing separation. The old portion, or the west, formerly the most prosperous, has gradually seen the power passing to the east section, both in population and val uation. The old portion sought separa- tion, and the eastern section opposed, as it had control of the town by force of numbers. The town hall was built on the east side, and finally the principal of acers were selected from residents of that village. Recent town-meetings have been memorable for sharp tactics, bitter speech es and sometimes high-handed ruling of presiding officers. Between the two new towns stretches 8 sandy plain. Long meadow and East Longmeadow are to be divided by straight line beginning near the intersection of the southern line of Springfield by White street and extending nearly due south to an angle in the state line, separating Massachusetts from Con- necticut. Longmeadow will be left with only 570 inhabitants, 125. houses, 6,60O acres and valuation of $47O, O,O0O. The new town of East Longmeadow will have about 1900 inhabitants, 280 houses, 7400 acres and 8 valuation recently increased from $60O, ,OO0 to $7OO, ,OOO.

 THE punishment of Coxey, Brown and Jones by the Washington authorities Is an unpleasant but quite unavoidable incl dent of the industrial movement. These men spent weeks parading through the country, and announcing purpose to visit Washington, and to there override police regulations to which all law-abid- ing citizens were clleerfully conforming. They had widely advertised their purpose, and their contempt for the laws and for officers and courts who might try to ex- ecute them. It is we'll that they have been taken handcuffed to the jail as a warming to any of similar anarchial bent. Coxey, Browne and Jones were sentenced by Judge Miller, in the Washington po- lice court, on Monday afternoon, to twen- ty days in jail for violating the statute of the United States prohibiting the display of partisan banners in the capitol grounds. Coxey and Browne were fined $5 each, additional, for trespassing on the grass, the alternative being another ten days in jail. Jones was acquitted on this last charge

Her Nsm.ransr

While she waited for her train she bought a newspaper. though with an unaccustOned air and a little as though she doubted the propriety of the action. She read it as she rode up town, causing more commotion by her efforts to fold it than eight men made with all their papers Finally, when she had glanced through tho marriage and death notices. skinned the society news and read poem, she rolled her purchase up and held it awkwardly. She wished to dis pose of ii. but did not know how The masculine habit of making the guards recipients of such favors was unknown to her, and she seemed to think that boldly laying 1t on the empty seat next her would bring down the wrath of the Manhattan ''L" road on her defenseless head.
 Finally she arose and let 1t fall. as if by accident, to the floor Instant ly a polite youth was on his knees and returning it. She biushed guilt ly, thanked him and went out Again she tried dropping it on the stairs. but another courteous traveller promptly restored it. She advanced toward the gutter, hoping to drop it there, but a stern eyed policeman stood by, and she seemed to fear ar rest. So she jammed 1t vieiously into her mnff and muttered fiercely. "Well, I'll try taking white ele- phant up on the train with me soon. CT than buy a newspaper again. ''-- New York World.

Japan... ,IurpIers

The most graceful and at the same tune the most undoubtedly genuine performances seem to be thoseof the Japanese jugglers. Their parapher- nalia are of the slightest, consisting chiefly of top and some paper but tertiles. An eyewitness thus describes them: He took ordinary boys top and spun it i'll the air, then threw the end of the string back toward it with such accuracy that it was caught up and wound itself all ready for the second cast. By the timeit had done this 1t had reached his hand and was ready for another spin" The paper butterflies he made by help of a fan to aEght wherever he wished. The spectator requested that one might be made to settle on each ear of the juggler. Gentle undulations of the fan waved them slowly to the re- quired point and there left them com fortably settled.

A Remarkable Cure.

Josiah Mezeli, a veteran of the WAT of 1861 and a citizen of this state, was a eonsumptive Tn the second stage when he joined the army, and at the close of the war be was per fectly we'll Mir. Mezen cured him self in a simple way. which proved a remarkable cure in his case. He says:
 T was suffering with a terrible cough and was growing weaker and thinner every day when l entered the Confederate army. Consumption was rapidly getting the mastery of me. Camp life exposed me to all kinds of weather. and sometimes I slept on the ground with no blanket to protect me from the cold, damp earth When convenient, l made Q hghtwoOd knot fire When a knot was burned te pitch. the fire was ex~ tinguished with water The smoke and pitch vapor arising from the knot were inhaled through my nostrils. I kept up this practice until 1865. when discovered that had no cough and was perfectly cured of the dis ease. 1 could not recommend this remedy to those who are in the third stage, but in a case similar to mine it will effect a remarkable cure in every instance.

Want. to see Thn, ..other ,,.n. :.


 He is an artist in black eyes" mot a pugilist, as some might imagine, but a clever old fellow who so fixes up discolored optics that they can be detected only by careful observation. He is something of a philosopher, but the other night he was so disgusted with the pride and vanity of man kind in general that to relieve bis tired feelings he indulged in & little spree. A friend found him late in the evening, much the worse for wear, and surprised at his unusual condition inquired what was the meaning of it.
 Well, " said the other, with slight incoherenee, I've been looking for that other man.
 What do you mean by that9"
 Mean? Only this: Every time a man comes in to me to have a black eye fixed up he tells me that I ought to see the other man. I've heard that a thousand times, and tonight l made up my mind to have a look at him and see what he looks like, but 1 haven't found him vet. I've seen three men with black eyes. but every one of them gave me the same story. I ought to see the oth- CT man. '"-New York World.

THE nIGmEsr AWARD.
Royal Eaking Powder in Strength and Vaiue 70 Per Cent. Above It's
 Nearest Competition.

Royal Baking Powder has the en- yiable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class greatest strength, purest in gredients, most perfectly combined wherever in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years. at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna aud at the various state and indus trial fairs. where 1t has been exhibi- ted, judges have invariably awarded tho Royal Baking Powder the high est honors.
 At the recent Worlds Fair the examination for the baking powder awards Were made by the experts of the chemical division of the agricul- tural department at Washington. The official report of the tests of the baking powders which were made by thIs depSrtment for the specific purpose of ascertaiuing which was the best, and which was made pub lie, shows the lelveniug strength or the Royal to he lG0 cubic inches of carboni, acid gas per ounce of pow
 
 der. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the far, the next highest in strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of III. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and fl per cent above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority in other re- spects, however, in the quality of the food 1t makes aS to fineness, del icacy and wfoles0meness, could not be measured by figures.
 It is these high qualities. known aud appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statis- tics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders combined.

Water a. Food.

For the few persons who Grink too much water" said a physician. there are the very, very many who drink too little. Three pints daily are necessary, absolutely necessary" "
 And writer in a medical journal, Dr. Yorke Davis, says, with empha- sis: "0f all foods required-water is a food-to keep the system in healthy working order water is the most i'm portant A man may live without any one particular kind of diet, whether it be flesh, fish or vegetable, but he cannot live without water. It enters into the composition of every tissue and fluid in the body. Diges- ton cannot be carried on without it, and when food has accomplished the nourishing of the different tissues 1t is by means of water that its waste is carried away. Indeed without water dry food would be poison and the digestive apparatus as useless as q miller's wheel with no stream to turn it. There is not one hour of our existence from the cradle to the grave that it does not fill an impor- tant part in the operation of our lives"
 On this proposition he bases the logical sequence of the imperative demand for pure water and condemns the inconceivable ignorance and in- difference of those persons who, be- cause they cannot taste, see or smell impurities in water, assume that they are not there. New York Times.

Modern Human Feet.

The boot and shoe exhibit at re- cent international industrial exhibi- ton leads one to view with alarm the prospective fate of the human pedals. The wide variety of ingenious shapes shown in boots discloses the fact that the human foot in modern times has ceased to have a shape of it's own. The one principle which stands out most prominently in all the schools of the shoemaking art is this-that there is but one recognized toe on the human foot. The other excres- cences are not to be countenanced or tolerated. The definition approved by all boot modistes Is that the hu- man foot is a variable aggregation consisting of four parts-the heel, the instep, the ball and the great toe.
 A generation or two more of cul- ture and heredity under the Ora conian laws imposed by the boot art ists will doubtless see the human foot simplified and improved by the grad ual elimination of four superhuous. useless and inartistic frontal proiec- tions.-Answers.
