Celebrating a Kings Coronation.

Several weeks ago a new king, An
gooshe, assembled tire throne of the In
dian dominion on Kake island, Alaska,
and for four weeks the whole tribe was
engaged in IA grand potlatch celebrating
the event. There were wild orgies, fol-
lowed by severe fasts, dancing that was
kept up day and night, and a general
Wild celebration that left the whole
tribe in a state of collapse. Every day
ut ten in the morning the bucks assem-
hled on the beach, and, no matter how
cold the weather nor how much snow
on the ground and ice in the water,
would strip and plunge into the ocean.
Then they would dance until they fell
from exhaustion. When able 20 walk
again they would take more icy baths.
Some $50 gallons of bad whisky were
drunk during the potlatch, and at the
close of the celebration Angooshe tore
up 500 pairs of blankets, for what rea.

BOGUS BUTTER DOOMED.
The French Republic Opens War Against
Artificial Compositions.

The French Republic Opens War Against
Artificial Compositions.
The French chamber of deputies has
passed very stringent measure with
view to preventing fraud in the sale of
butter, and, in the event of the senate
indorsing the bill, il seems as if it will
be impossible to palm off oleo or any
other composition as being the ''genu-
inc article" 1t is made illegal for deal
ers in butter to keep oleo for sale, or
vice versa the fraudulent compositions
are only to be sold at places especially
assigned by the municipality of each
town. Moreover, all boxes, firkins or
other packets containing oleo must
bear the word margarine" in large
characters, and full description must
be given of the elements employed in
making the composition. In the retail
trade all oleo sold must be placed in
bags, on the outside of which is to be
found a description of the article, with
the name and address of the vender.
Full authority is given to inspectors to
enter butter factories and shops, and
take specimens for analysis; in the
event of the specimens being found
pure, the cost will be borne by the state.
The penalties for an infraction of the
new law will vary from six days to three
months Imprisonment, and fine of
from SEQ to 81 900, while, in the event of
the same person being convicted q Sec
ond time within year, the maximum
fine will always be imposed. There will
also be heavy fine imposed on persons
who place hindrance iR the way of the
inspectors.

BACKACHE.
From tne Press, Ne,c York cnr.


Few people have suffered more from pain
in the back than Mrs. Lille b. Newell of
No. BIB Second Avenue, New York City.
For several years she was 50 afflicted with
this distressing malady that she was hardly
able TO get around, and could do little to
caro- for her children wi ich made her suffer
ing all the harder to bear. Her husband,
Charles Newell, who is a well-known New
York optician, tried in every way to find
remedy for his wife, but no medicine
seemed TO have the power TO remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, sister of Mrs. Newell is a
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs.
Newell was away on visit when reporter
called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives
at No 4l6 East Onehundred and-twentieth
Street, told the story OF her sisters re-
covcry.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newell's
condition became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, in q short time, re-
leved the woman's pain as no other medi-
cine has done. CATER awhile" Mrs. Glynn
told tho reporter, 1--WE learned that the medi-
cine the physician was giving my sister wa, was

how excellent remedy these pills were,

EAGLES AS GAME DRIVERS.
Sometimes They Enable Gunners to Get
Shots ut Wild Ducks.

Shots ut Wild Ducks.
Eagles are sometimes of considerable
service TO hunter, and this is es-
pecially true of the eagles of the Po-
tomac river at Wide Water, where Pres
ident Cleveland shoots. According to
an American Field writer, eagles on a
calm day often give the hunters shots
which they would not otherwise get.
The eagle goes flying up and down
the stream, and on seeing flock OF
ducks goes toward them, hoping to get
a cripple. being unable to capture ducks
rs the peregrinc falcon docs. When the
ducks see the eagle coming they Jump
into the air and go looking for safer
locality, and this is where the gunner
comes in. The gunner's place of con-
cealment in a blind is nor nearly so safe
as the eagles vicinity. but the ducks
think it is safer till the shot goes
through their feathers.
Three or four eagles will keep all the
ducks on the move. and the gunners get
good sport where they otherwise would
not have dirtied their gun barrels. The
eagles sometimes steal cripplcs from
the gunner, but the knowing man does
not hurt the birds, getting his pay back
on calm days.

The most important point to observe
when setting out young orchard is to
secure strong and healthy trees. Many
fruitgrowers import diseases on their
farms ut the time of purchasing their
young fruit stock. Trees one year old
will often thrive better than those that
are older, and they are also more easily
examined. Every tree should he care
fully inspected from the tips to tho
roots and should be procured from
nurserymen known TO be reliable.
