bitious whistler may even hope to succeed
The second step is learning to take full
breath, and the third is practicing the sim
pie scale by the hour Then the beginner
is allowed to run scales and arpeggios and
other things with extraordinary names.
Next come chromatics half steps or semi
tones of the scale, SO called because they
were formerly written or printed in col
ors. The chromatics are the most difficult
exercises the whistler encounters.
The most determined and ambitious
candidate for whistling honors in San
Francisco is Miss Gertrude Judd, who says
that whistler, like poet, is born and
not made. But even when a siffleuse is
born with the divine affiatus he or she
must have cast iron lungs, favorable
mouth cavity formation, sound health and
perseverance. The greater the lip power
the better the artist.
The face of a confirmed and irreclaim-
able siffleuse usually bears what are called
the whistle lines. They extend in the form
of an inverted V from the nose to the
chin. These lines are visible in the faces
of such well known whistling experts al
Mrs Shaw and Messrs. Stevens and Kel
logg. Miss Judd also possesses them, and

The Queen Receives = Pie.

In accordance with an ancient custom,
Queen Victoria has been presented with
a lamprey pie. 1t was an elaborate af-
fair and was presented by the mayor,
Mr.. Matthews. He signified his inten-
tion of giving it, and the queen, through
the lord high steward Of Gloucester, in
timated that she would be happy to re-
ceive it. Consequently the pie came, ac-
companied by two silver skewers bear
ing the arms of the city and the name OF
the mayor. London Letter.

BRANDING A CLAIM FALSE.
Worlds Fair Ohicia1s Expose n Pre-
tender to an Award.

Worlds Fair Ohicia1s Expose a Pre-
tender to an Award.
A most discreditable result OF the late
Chicago Worlds Fair is the fraudulent
advertising of awards never received by
a Chicago baking powder firm. Officials
OF the Exposition are much incensed,
and have notified the offending parties
that the misstatements must cease.
They are defed, however, by the Chi
cago concern, who continue to advertise
the false statement that they received
the highest award for strength, purity
and excellence. Mr.. Thatcher, Chief of
Agricultural Awards, shows in his letter
that the awards granted were "for an
exhibit OF baking powder" merely, not
for superiority; while the Judge OF
Awards on Baking Powders writes let
ter SAYING that ''no such award was
given to the Chicago company" as the
company claims and advertises.
Another fact in connection with the
baking powder business at the Chicago
Fair has come to light. The identical
baking powder made by the Chicago
concern, and so brazenly advertized az
having received the highest award foi
purity and excellence, it now appears
was found by the analysts who made
the tests at the Fair to contain traces oi
ammonia and sulphates.
The officials believe that though they
may be powerless to stop the misleading
publications Of which they complain
the quick wit of the people will doubt
lass detpct the spurious claims and bf

Hnu to Maasurs an Acre.

It is desirable-in fact, indispensable
for good work that farmer should
know how many acres are in his field.
Otherwise he cannot apportion seed or
manure for it, nor can he tell how much
time it should take to plow, harrow or
cultivate. A good cotton cord, the size
of plow line, should be kept for thio
purpose. To make one, buy sixty-seven
feet OF cotton rope an inch round, fasten
ring at each end and make these rings
precisely sixty-six feet apart. This is
four rods. Tie piece OF red rag in the
center. One acre OF ground will be q
piece 4 of these cords long and ~
wide, equal to 16 by 10 rods, making 100
square rods to an acre. The advantage
of the rings is that one person can meas
ure alone by driving a stake in the
ground to hold the rope while he
stretches it out. The rope should be
soaked in tar and then dried. This will
prevent shrinking.
Last year neighbor of the writer had
heavy sod plowed by contract at $3.50
per acre. Three persons stepped it OF.
One said it was acres, another said 1t
was little over 5, and the third said it
was 81 acres. The contractor sent
over and got this rope, and all five men
measured it, and it was found to be just
81 acres. He had paid to have the
grass cut off it for three years 81 per
acre, or IS each season, counting it to be
five acres in extent, thus losing $4.5C
through ignorance.
Get measuring rod and when not in
use put it away, 80 that the hands can
not get at it or they will be very apt to
cut piece off it to tie up harness, thus
making it worthless for measuring pur.

After a stay of less than three days,
generally though not popularity known as
the Earl of Dunraven departed for England
Saturday night. 1t cannot be truly said that
he leaves these shores mourned or regretted
by any great number of people, for doubt
less by this time even the Anglo-ma MACS
have become convinced that he is a cad and
unworthy of countenance among sportsmen
and gentlemen. To be sure, the official re-
port of the committee investigating his
churlish charges against the Defender syn
dictate has not been made public but there
is no attempt to conceal the fact that, in the
opinion of the committee, the charges had
absolutely no foundation. This will be no
surprise to Americans, and it is to be hoped
that majority of Englishmen will welcome
the intelligence that in the recent races, at
least, the American yachtsmen conducted
themselves in a spirit of fairness and hon
esty. Dunraven may believe the rot to
which he has given publicity, and which has
now been thoroughly exposed as peevisn
credulity and suspicion, but he now stands
entirely alone. except perhaps for the sup
port of few lickspittles, who welcome such
an opportunity to play toady. 1t cannot be
conceived that the verdict of the investigat-
ing committee will not be received as final
and conclusive by the world at large, for it
Is delivered by men of the highest standing
and international repute. And SO exit Dun

An ImpOtent Verdict.

1t was to be expected that the coroner's
jury investigating the Baltimore -heater
disaster Of Friday night would be unable to
place the individual responsibility for the
commencement of the stampede that led to
such fatal results in the Front Street Thea
ter. So from that point of view it is not
surprising that the verdict of mo one 10
blame should have been rendered Yet it
seems trayesty upon justice for an event
costing the lives of over a score of persons
to be followed by such an impotaut concu-
sion on the part of the authorities The
Indirect responsibility for the death of
these people lies upon the persons who are
in the habit of leasing that ANTIGUA. ed p,ay-
house for use. Going still further back It
should rest with the officials who, charged
with the duty of inspecting such places for
the purpose of insuring the safety of thei;.
patrons, have permitted its continued use
Notwithstanding the fact, which should be
apparent to every intelligence, that it is unlt
for the purposes for which it vas original
ly intended and that it contains the posi-
tilities of disaster. The Star took occa-
sion Saturday to call attention to the need
OF more rigid inspection over local Audi
forums with view to preventing a repe-
tition here of the Front street horror ard
1t points today to the verdict in the Ralti-
more case to show how dangerously these
matters are allowed to go by default.

Dangerous Weapons.

There has always been a strong public
sentiment in favor of more rigid regtla-
tons affecting the use of dangerous weap-
ons and their character as articles Of COM
merce. and there has never been the least
lack of support for the most rigid enforce
ment of the laws designed to prevent the
carrying of concealed weapons. Notwi.h-
standing the presence of such law on
the local statute books and its continued
enforcement the practice of armng the
person has become dangerously common.
especially among minors who have little
reason to so provide themselves and lave
not the judgment &c guarantee a proper
use of weapons. Under these circum-
stances the next step is to strike at the
traffic in such goods and it is well that
the Commissioners have moved in the mat
ter by preparing an amendment to the law
which will enable the courts to punish
with severity any person who sells, gives,
barters, loans or in any other fashion pro-
viGes a minor with a dangerous weapon.
1t would not be too harsh a provision OF
law to so regulate the sale of pistols,
knives, etc. by the imposition of unusually
heavy license fees as to reduce the number
Of establishments to a minimum and to
place the responsibility upon vendors in a
still more marked manner than at present.
There are few legitimate necessities for
the use or possession of a dangerous
weapon in modern city life. 1t Is doubtful
If one-tenth of the weapons owned by indi-
viduals are needful in any sense. While
their immediate possessors may, in a ma
jority of cases. be capable of using inteili-
sence and caution in handling the weapons.
yet their presence in a house is a menacing
possibility of danger at all times, espe-
cially where there are children.

Suspicious Concerning the President
There are evidences that feeling of
suspicion has come between Congress and
the administration the financial cues
ton. Secretary Carlisle's utterances have
spread a belief that the bond and revenue
bills passed by the House last week are
wholly unsatisfactory to the executive
branch of the government, and there Is
hint at veto that can hardly have a very
wholesome influence upon the Senate
which is now called upon to act on the
measures. The republicans are complain
int' that the President has not acted with
that spirit of openness and frankness that
they had every reason to expect from the
TENS of his annual and special messages
on financial affairs. There Is no longer any
Ioubt that bond issue OF great size is be-
Ing planned by the administration, osten-
sibly to strengthen the gold reserve, yet
of sufficient dimensions, according to the
minimum estimate of 500, 900 900. to cover
twice over the discrepancy between the
present state of the reserve and the legal
limit. One report places the issue at $780,
100000, and asserts that it Is the Presi-
dents purpose to secure enough gold by
this issue to make himself Independent of
Congress throughout the remainder Of his
term.
These may be merely idle speculations
yet there is no concealng the fact that the
administration has become liable to sus-
picton because of the preparations for an
immediate bond issue, in view of the fact
that the President practically placed on
Congress in his annual message the re-
possibility for the future, stating the
situation more or less completely, and clos
ing with these words:
Il have suggested a remedy which my
judgment approves. l desire, however, to
