Mainly Practiced.

Mainly Prscticed.
Recent Investigations by the depart
ment of agriculture of the state of
Pennsylvania on the amount of food
adulteration lead to some interesting
results. A conservative estimate
places the value of the food consumed
by the citizens of the state at $780,
100000, and if to this amount is added
the average estimate of adulteration,
it follows that there is lost through this
means $2o,000,oOO.
The examinations made by the de.
partment make it evident that the fol-
lowing items will mainly cover the
worst forms of adulteration: The use of
salicylic acid in the prepare ton of
fruit Jams, catsup, ETC.; in such cases
it is introduced for the purpose of pre-
venting fermentation, and when eaten
and it has entered the digestive organs,
it prevents to an appreciative extent the
proper functions of digestion. Of the
samples of buckwheat -four tested, but
two We're found pure. Three-fifths of
the samples of cheese selected for an
alysis proved to be filled cheese"-the
milk had been skinned, the cream
used for other purposes, and foreign
fats, not butter, had been added with
the intent of making up the deficiency.
OF the samples of mustards, two-thirds
were found to be adulterated. Ground
spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper,
ginger, ETC., are seldom pure. Many
fruit jams, especially those claiming to
be strawberry and raspberry, were
found to consist largely of starch paste,
with only enough fruit, in some cases,
to claim the name. All samples of So
called French peas were found to con-
tain injurious amounts of metallic
salts.-N. Y. Tribune.

From the Journal, M,scattne, Iowu.

On the second floor of one of our neatest
business buildings, located at No l25 w est
Front Street, is the home OF Constable and
Mrs. M. Z. Briggs, and it was visited to-day
for the purpose of speaking to Mrs. Briggs
on question of considerable weight to her
The reporter upon calling found Mrs
Briggs a little indisposed mot however
with her former complaint), but neverthe-
less in very congenial mood. Upon in
Quiry as TO the benefit she derived from the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, she said:
"About eighteen months since l was
taken down with sciatic rheumatism in my
lower limbs, especially my right leg and so
fierce was the attack that could not walk
at all. After trying various remedies, all
without avail, lady neighbor of mine,
Mrs. John Yoder, who, think, Is now liv.
ing in Eldon, mentioned DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and said she had used
them for similar trouble and had found
them very beneficial. lpurchased box OF
pills at +. Nesper a. Co.'s drug store, and
before had taken all OF the first box l boz
gan to feel much improved and the pain be-
gan TO ease. continued to take them, buy
ing second box, and when l had nearly
finished the second box ! was able to walk
about us ably as ever and have not had an
attack since.
~ heartily endorse DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and feel confident that
anyone afflicted as l was could be easily re-
stored to their usual health by their use. "

densed form, all tho elements necessary to

An f,xperiment with Peanuts.

Last year in corn planting time, n
farmer says he left a plat of ground FOR
peanuts. Marked the rows off just the
same as for corn, so when he cultivated
the corn he could cultivate the peanuts
at the same time. Planted them about
the LIST of May. They can be planted
any time after the danger of killing
frost. The seed should be very care
fully selected at the time of planting;
also carefully prepared so as not to
break the skin of the kernel. He put
the kernel in can, covered them with
coal oil and let them stand over night.
This was TO keep the moles, etc., from
eating the seed. Planted them in hills,
two kernels in hill, one foot apart in
the row.--Farmers' Voice.

Another delegation of japanese
students has arrived, presumably
to take advantage of the higher
education of Hawaii. What par
ticular benefit these men are to
the country and republican insti-
tutions has yet to be discovered.
They do not enhance the con
ditiOn of labor, and their infu-
ence in our city is nothing more
or less than degrading. How long
the influx can continue before
some of the Japanese are classed
as paupers we cannot tell, but the
time is approaching when the
limit will be reached.

of the seven per cent interest on
the bonds.
From the first Mr. Dillingham;
has maintained that the success
of the Oahu railway depended on
the development Of lands which
it touches. and having finally Sc
cured recognition for his last
plantation scheme, the way has
opened for strengthening the fin
dncial condition of the railroad.
The consolidation of the bonded
Indebtedness and the reduction Of
the interest tells its own story of
increased confidence in one of the
most valuable enterprises the Isl
and Of Oahu possesses, as we'll as
confidence in the continued indus
trial progress of the country at
large. The two 90 hand in hand,
but the chances are that under
the management of a man more
susceptible to the cold shoulder
and temporary reverses the con
dition of the Oahu railroad would
be far less favorable to stockhOld-
ers, bondhOlders and the merch-
ants of Oahu than it is today.
Whether the road will be extend
ed TO Kaluiku is matter for flu
ture consideration; and certainly
every inducement should be OF
fered to that end; it is enough for
the present that the financial foot
ing has been strengthened, and
the promise. of good returns bids
fair to be fulfilled at no distant
day.

OAHU RAILROAD.

Having successfully entered the
opening wedge by starting the
Oahu plantation, Manager b. f.
Dillingham; now has very brilliant
prospects, we may say the assurc-
ance, of making the Oahu railroad
the prosperous enterprise which
he promised to do when the pro
ject was first launched. The re-
cent developments in the projects
with which Mr.. Dillingham; has
been closely associated demon
strate what constant, untiring en-
ergy and everlastingly keepingat-
it will do. There have been times
within the last few years when
business men of the country look
ed upon the Oahu railway as a
white elephant, a very good insti-
tuition but one whose chances of
practical success were somewhat
dubious to say the least. NOtwith-
standing the road made a record
that cannot be equalled by many
similar enterprises in the United
States. investors were inclined to
look askance at propositions for

STICK TO The TEXT.

The question of Hawaii's max
Ing terms for annexation to the
United states continues to hold
considerable prominence III the
local discussion of the campaign
now before us. Discussion does
no harm, but it must appear rea-
sonable TO every thinking man
that the strength of the enemy in
the United States is such that Ha-
wall cannot afford to bring for
ward points which are not only
distasteful TO Americans but en-
tircly contrary to the principles
of American institutions. Should
Hawaii seek TO retain its contract
labor system or it's Asiatic immi
grafton ~ the same time it seeks
admission TO the American Union
it will have 10 count its enemies
by scores where it now numbers
them as occasional exceptions.
Not long since an Hawaiian citi-'
zen in discussing annexation with
an American statesman who has
always been and is now friendly
to Hawaii, asked: "What will you
do with our contract labor sys-
tenn" The reply was significant:
"If YOU want to come into the
American Union you must accept
American institutions"
BY attempting to ''make terms"
Hawaii will put a lever in the
hands of the Sugar Trust and the
newly developed opposition of
California that will stir up an
anti-annexation sentiment of no
small size from Maine to CalifOr-
MIA. Contract Asiatic labor in Ha
wall Will be dinned into the ears
of the American people in season
and out of season, and the great
majority will look upon it as
far greater national sin than our
100000 tons Of sugar. it will
strengthen the arm raised to
strike the Reciprocity Treaty and
Will be used with sad effect upon
those who have heretofore stood
firmly by the efforts to American
ize Hawaii.
The situation is already suf-
ficiently complex. without at
tempting at this stage to bring in
additional features which can
only jeopardize the friendship of
able men in Congress and out of
Congress. As we have reiterated
from time to time, the platform
proposed by General Hartwell
should be the text from which all
political sermons of Hawaiian an
neXationists should be preached.
Hawaii asks for annexation and
leaves the United States Congress
to do the rest. After annexation
is accomplished fact will be
the time to talk about special
laws. Stick to the original text.
