mellowed by age-pure as the red
grape juice can mako it. 1t is
noticeable to Americanos that condi-
ments are not to be found on Mexi-
can tables. The dishes are seasoned
by the culinary artist, and it is con-
sidered reflection upon his ability
to add seasoning to dish. But
these dishes are invariably hot
enough for the Americanos
These rodeos are usually feasts- -
everyone in the neighborhood at
tending and many OF them make the
circuit. The senior OF the ranch en-
tertains all who come, and OF course
without charge. There are twenty or
thirty herdsmen, each with three or
four horses. and the proprietor OF
each ranch in the district, with his
sons and perhaps their friends. This.
in addition to the populace OF
tho neighborhood, makes a good
sized crowd. But there is plenty for
all and it is the pride of tho Mexi-
can hidalgo to count his guests by
the hundred.
In the late afternoon the young

SINCE the individual wine cup has
been introduced into the commun ion
service at Rochester, N. Y. las preca&
tion against the spread of tuberculosis
and other germ diseases. another re-
form, even more important, has been
urged as Il precaution against. the
spread of disease, u reform OF that
school-room custom which provides
for daily gatho. ing up the pencils OF
the pupils into one common recepta-
Gle and daily distributing them mis-
cellaneously. The habit of wetting
the pencil n the mouth is almost
universal among school children, the
danger of the spread of disease from
this miscellaneous mingling of PEN
ellis is, therefore, much greater than
is the danger the promoters OF the
Rochester innovation seek to avoid,
because there are many more schoo
children than there are communi-
cautS.

A fire bali, SO brilliant that it was
seen in midday, passed over the Irish

The distance from the farthcst
point of polar discovery to the pole is
said to be less than 500 miles.
There are forty-eight distinct dis

the human body has SO many.
1t is estimated that the terrible
Zante earthquake of 1890 Travelled
with an average velocity of three and
one half miles per second.
Leroyal, the French engineer, re-
ports the discovery of n tribe OF good

An alloy that adheres so firmly to
glass that it may be used to solder
pieces together is made by Freech

by adding from one-half to one per

Diamond. In tho United states.

Diamonds occur in the United
in two regions Ono extending along
the southern base OF the Allegheny
mountains from Virginia to Georgia;
the other on the western side OF the
Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges
in Northern California and Southern
Oregon. The neurological condl-
tion in these two remote regions are
worry similar. and the discoveries
made in them are very much alike.
The formation in the diamond bear
ing localities OF the United States
are very like those OF Brazil and
India, and very unlike those OF South
Africa. where the great diamond
fields of tho world lie.

IT is claimed by the mother OF Mrs.
Mayb now undergoing life i'm
prisonment in England for poisoning
her husband, that she las new and
positive evidence of the fact that
Mr.. May brick was confirmed arsenic
cater, aud had frequently purchased
the drug, both in London and Paris.
This evidence is apparently conclu-
sive OF the fact that May bricks )
death was due to an overdose OF tho
drug taken b. himself to cure a skin
eruption. The grave doubt as to
Mrs. May bricks guilt should lie ad to
1. further investigation of the case.
for there is little doubt but grave
injustice has been perpet etrated upon
her.

A CONTEMPORARY expresses the
opinion that Mark Twain may have
crippled his publishing firm by draw
ing out more money than the busi-
moss could spare. We believe that
this is an error. There is good
ground for tho statement that Mr.
Clemens has put more money into
his publishing business than he has
taken out Whatever profits he has
made have been the legitimate re-
turns OF his own brain work as an
author. Mark Twain has been un-
charitably criticised as bloated
capitalist, but if he had half the
ready money now that he has hon
cstly earned by his own mental toll
and spent in lifting other men from
distress to Independence he would
not need to ask indulgence from his
creditors.

it was time to resign. Goldberg said that
Jennings thought everything depended on
the committee on teachers and salaries, of
which Jennings is a member. KirkwoOd
said he had voted mo" because be was
not certain of the adyisability of the
measure Dawson said he was not aware
of any general demand for such a teacher
as a supervisor of drawing. Powell said
there was not enough money to justify the
expense Goldberg said the teachers COM
mitteo had not reported drawing
teacher, which amounted to dropping that
branch from the course of study in usur-
patton of the powers of the COMMITTEES on
text books and examinations. Powell
contended that the board had
power to transact any business it
chooses, whether passed upon in
committee Or not. Jennings said the
proper order was to ascertain whether or
not a drawing teacher was needed, whether
or not there was money to pay one, and
then they would he ready to elect. Gold
berg stated that drawing had once been
adopted and that action had never been
rescinded, and SO Miss Maxwell's applica-
ton goes over until the next meeting.

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT
TO Suppress Fraudulent Advertisements oi
Worlds Far awards?

Letters from both the chief of awards
ION agriculture) at the Chicago world )
fair. Mr.. j. 5 Browning. and the judge
of awards on baking powders, expose the
falsity of the claim made in behalf OF "A
Chic ago baking powder that il received
the highest award for leavening power,
keeping qualities, purity .and general ex-
celence
The Judge of awards saws that this claim
is false. that no such award was given to
that baking powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter already pub
lished also shows that there was no award
given to the Chicago company for the best
baking powder.
IL now appears further that the analyses
of the DOW q -rs exhibited showed baking
powder made in New York altogether the
superior of the Chicago powder in bosh
purity and strength.
The government has prohibited the use
for advertising purposes OF the medals
awarded by the Fair. Il would be a great
protection TO the public if the government
would also prohibit the publication OF
fglse claims such as those that have been
exposed in relation 10 such awards.
The official competitive test of a ma
tional chars cter from which consumers
can obtain the actual facts as 10 the rela
tive values of all the principal brands Of
baking powder OF the country, is that
made by the Agricultural department at
Washington. D. c. ls so happens that
chemist who acted as 1udge OF awards at
the Chicago Columbian Fair. As has al
ready been published, at this examination
the Royal Baking Powder was found 70 be
the superior powder aud highest in leav-
eniDg strength.
