Cinnamon Adulteration.

The organ of the Society OF Public
mentions the following curious
instance of commercial ingenuity: A
certain firm of confectioners abroad use
a large quantity of walnuts in various
forms of sweets and found that
the shells had distinct COM
mercial value and, in fact, they
sold the shells for more than they
gave for the whole walnuts. The shells
are ground to powder and then used in
adulterating ground cinnamon. But the
buyer is not altogether secure in Pur-
chasing cinnamon in the stick, for this
is sometimes adulterated by the ma
tives who gather it with barks OF other
shrubs. A heartless, if ingenious, de-
ception, too, is that practiced every
spring, when large quantities OF com
mon weed, the leaf of which closely re-
sembles the musk plant are by some
means slightly scented with musk and
sold as the genuine, at so,much root,
to the great subsequent disappoint-
ment of the buyer.-Household'World.

1t is claimed that there is much in
physiognomy which reveals the true
character of the person to those from
whom 1t is most desirable to conceal
it.. The claim is just one for those
who have learned the language of the
face, but there are few who really un-
derstand these visible signs of invisi-
BILE things" To most people the faces
of those around them indicate nothing,
or surface qualities only. To the
learned few the characteristics indi-
Gated are in many cases diametrically
opposed to those which the uninitiateG

HOMELY ROYALTY.
A Pleasant Picture of the Queen and Her
Children.


Her majesty kept the religious in
struction of her children largely IN her
own hands. When Mr.. Birch had been
appointed tutor to the prince of Wales.
the queen wrote:
at is an important step, and Gods
blessing be upon it; for upon the good
education of princes, and especially
those who are destined to govern, the
welfare of the world, in these days, very
greatly depends"
A story is told that, when the arch
deacon of London was catechizing the
young princes, he said: "Your gov
srness deserves great credit for instruct
ing you so thoroughly" At which the
boys piped up: "Ob, but it is mamma
who teaches us our catcchism." 1t is
not, perhaps, generally known that the
queen occasionally taught Bible class
for the children of those in attendance
at Buckingham palace.
The princess royal when child, and
the prince of Wales, too, needed the
curb occasionally. Once the princess
at a military review was coquetting
with some officers of the escort, and
| took no notice of warning looks by the
queen. Finally she dangled her hand
kerchief over the side of the carriage
and dropped it Intentionally. There
was a rush of young officers TO pick it
up, but the queen babe them desist, and,
turning to the princess, said in stern
voice: Now, pick up your handker'
chief yourself" There was no help for
it. The princess, with flaming cheeks
and saucy toss of the head. did as SHE

Predicament of q Baby Prince.

Prince Boris, SO European journals
hint, was not admitted to the Russian
church in really orthodox manner.
The difficulty is said to arise from the
holy oils used in the act of conservation.
The oils of the Bulgarian branch of the
Orthodox church are not recognized by
Russian theologians as eff:cacious, so
that Prince Boris, according to Russian
ideas, really belongs to no religion what
ever. The position of prince who
grows up to find himself an agnostic
solely ON account of the disputed valid
ity of particular kind of oil certainly
entities him to compassion.-Detroit

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
Some Reading that Will Prove Inter
esting to Young Mothers How to
Guard Against the Disease

Group is terror to young moth
ers, and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object of this
item. The origin of Group is a COM
mon cold. Children who are sub
iect to it take cold very easily, and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act
is when the chlld first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear, Even
after the croupy cough has devel-
oped it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this
remedy, for it contains nothing in
furious. For sale by Smith Drug

March l and Is. At present material
is being sent to the premises as rapidly
as possible, and the work of pile driv-

ings are in readiness. The cost of the
plant will be about $4,000, and the
company will start with about seventy
five hands, additional force to be added
as required. At first window glass
only will be made, but by the first of

in the police court he pleaded not
guilty, and as he did so he rubbed his

arms? asked Judge Fielder. "Them
women pinched them burned hard. and

arrests, although they have the physi-

/, Large Oat Yields. sssss,

People sometimes feel that they are
being imposed upon by the accounts
of big yields of grain in Washington,
but the contrary is the fact, for nature
turned herself loose in forming soil
in sections of this state that should be,
like her general resources, unsurpassa-
BILE. That thoroughly reliable and
conservative paper, the LaConner Mail,
in answer to query regarding large
yields of oats in the Skagit district,
publishes the following: "The largest
yield of oats, so far as we are aware of,
is It's and fraction bushels raised by
Mr.. VIM. Wilke, and III bushels rails
ed by Mr.. M. Sullivan in 1888, we be-
lieve, on their farms just north of
town. The former yield was an aver
age for twelve acres and the latter an
average for twenty acres. This
phenomenal yield is on basis of 80
pounds to the bushel. There sNere al
so some very heavy yields reported
this year, as Mr.. John Ball is said to
have raised 8, ,405 bushels on % acres,
making an average of over $50 bushels
to the acre, and Mr.. Sam Dunlap's 1OS
acres averaged over 125 bushels per
acre. We therefore believe that the
made lands of Skagit county cannot
be surpassed, when it comes to raising
oats, by any portion of the known
globe. West Coast Trade.
