loaded. When the brakes were put on
the front cars, the weight behind was

In a recent article on Coffee and
Cocoa, the eminent German Chemist,
Professor Stutzer, speaking of the
Dutch process of preparing Cocoa
common in Germany in which am
monia is added, says: "The only re-
suit of these processes is to make the
liquid appear turbid to the eye of the
consumer, without effecting a real so
luton of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose
of so-called solubility is, therefore,
more or less inspired by deception,
and always takes place at the cost OF
purity, pleasant taste, useful action,
and aromatic flavor. The treatment
Of Cocoa by such chemical means is
entirely Objectionable. Cocoa
treated with potash or ammonia would
be entirely unstable but for the sup
Elementary addition Of artificial fla
yors by which q poor substitute for
the aroma driven out into the air is
offered to the consumer" The delic-
ious breakfast Cocoa made by Wall
TER BAKER & CO.. of Dorchester,
Mass, is absolutely pure and soluble.
No chemicals, or dyes, or artificial fla
vors are used in it.

a departed art. The best Of this work
is very expensive, but that has not

lively rate. During the past two hours
the river has been rising rabidly and
there is Il stage Of seventeen fec at
Connellsville and sixteen feet six

and it was rising ut the rate Of a
foot in four hours. This is the high
est the river has been since the flood
Of August, 1889. and with this cxcep-
ton SURPRISES all the floods since
1860. The situation is really alarming.
YoWlerville, a suburb of New Haven,
is submerged; two-thirds Of the citi-
Zens have already moved out, and if
the water rises much higher, their
homes will be swept away. Reports
from Dawson, Dickcrson's Run, Bun
ming and other towns down the river
state that they are now at the mercy
OF the waters and great damage is
being done. The slope mines along
the river are flooded and work has
been suspended; it will require at
least several weeks to get the water
pumped out of them.
McKeesport, Pa, Jan. 9.-The water
is up on Market street. and all the
families along Water street have
moved out. Water is in the Dewes-
Wood con pal US mill and part of the
mill is shut down. The damage to the

glass works at Duquesne had to shut
down and the Carnegie steel works
are partly knocked out by the flood.
The water is four feet deep on Main
street at Dravosburg. Little rain is
falling now. The loss in McKeesport
will reach $4,000.
J%ohnstown, Pa, Jan. 9.-The rivers
here are about ten feet and rising.
Two more feet will take the water
over the banks at the famous stone
bridge, and three feet more will flood
the lower part of town. Reports from
up the river say that a steady rain is
falling and there is still much snow to
