Improving Eiffel Tower.

While the structural lines of the
Eiffel tower are not to be changed, the
authorities of the Paris exposition for
1900 are making many other altera-
tions in the tall observatory. The
elevators now in use are to be re-
placed with much larger ones, and the
speed of the cars is to be increased.
All the little shops and stores are be-
ing removed from the first landing.
The upper platform will be made six
feet wider, and the entire tower is be-
ing adorned with a coat of grayish
blue paint. The gas lamps, which
have been in use to illuminate the
tower ever since it was built, are to
be replaced within few weeks by
10000 electric lamps.

Tho New Food Law.

Pure Food Commissioner Mcdonald
evidently anticipates some difficulty
in enforcing Washington's new food
law, rs he is reported 10y the Nfw
Ttst Trade to have informed the Spo-
kane Retail Groccrs' association that
Il number OF manufacturers would
probably fight it. In the case of bak-
ing powder there will undoubtedly be
n number OF test cases filed. The law
says that the powders must be labeled
what they are. The alum powder
people will put in their goods in de-
fiance of the law and will claim they
contain nothing injurious to health.
The commissioner warned dealers
to get contracts from jobbers and
manufacturers guaranteeing them
against loss. lie also warns them
against the unreliable Eastern houses
which have been flooding the market
with cheap goods. An indemnifying
contract in their cases would hardly
amount to anything.
Among the articles that the law, in
the commissioners opinion, will en-
tirely stop the sale Of, are colored
jellies. These are in most cases I'M
wholesome, not even having fruit
colorings. The law also says that
there shall he no colored extracts or
vinegars. Dealers are instructed that
they can sell no coffees mixed with
other substances unless so marked.
If customer desires to mix chicory
with coffee, the dealer must sell him
the article separately and the buyer
must do his own mixing. If it is
mixed in the store, the package must
be labeled "coffee compound"
Lard must be pure hog fat. The
eastern lard which dealers are now
handling, having foreign substance
in it to make it sitter, must be labeled
lard compound" The law, however,
does not interfere with the sale of
cottolene or kindred products, for the
reason that such articles are sold
under proprietary names and do not
pretend to be other than what they
are.
The commissioner asked for 25
samples of goods which the grocers
considered to be adulterated most.
He will submit them to the State
chemist for analysis. Upon the COM
pletion of the work, samples of other
goods will be submitted.

Fruit as a Curative Agent.

A celebrated physician divides fruit
into five classes, each possessing q
special curative value-the sweet, the
acid, the astringent, the oily and the
mealy. Cherries, raspberries, straw
berries, gooseberries, peaches, apples,
lemons and oranges belong to the acid
fruits and have great merit. Cherries,
however, are prohibited to those who
have neuralgia of the stomach straw
berries and raspberries are recommend
ed to those OF bilious temperaments
and denied to those in whom diabetes
is suspected.
OF the sweet fruits the doctor says
plums prevent govt and articular
rheumatism. The grape is given the
very first place. He is an advocate OF
what is known in Europe as the grape
cure, which provides that for several
days the patient eats nothing but
grapes, consuming from one to two
pounds daily, with a gradual increase
of ten pounds. After few days OF
this diet the appetite improves and an
increasing capacity to endure fatigue
is noticed. The grape cure is especial.
ly suited to persons who are anemic,
rheumatic, dyspeptic or consumptive.

OF Jefferson county, has discovered
that he was defrauded by the failure of
the Commercial bank, of Port Towns
end. He left large number of secur-
tiles locked up in q tin box in the

failure of the bank and the legal COM
plications following, he only recently

on opening it found the securities
missing. He subsequently, found that
the county warrants he had in the

In ease Of fire, il the burning arti-
clcS are at once spla>hed and sprayed
with II solution Of salt and nitrate OF

can be made at home at a triting cost
and should be kept on hand. dissolve
20 pounds OF common salt and ten

These bottles must be tightly corked

in case OF fire they must be thrown

crate the gas contained. At least two
dozen OF these bottles should be ready
for an emergency.
In this connection it is we'll to re-
member that water on burning oil
scatters the flame, but that flour will
extinguish it. Salt thrown upon a
fire if the chimney is burning will
help to deaden the blaze. If fire
once gets under Roadway and prompt
exit becomes necessity, silk hand
kerchicf dipped in water and wrapped
about the mouth and nostrils will pre-
vent suffocation from smoke; failing
this, piece Of wet flannel will answer.
Should smoke fill the room, recall
your physics-remember that smoke
goes first to the top OF the room and
last to the floor. Wrap blanket or
WOODEN garment about you, with the
wet cloth over your face, drop on your
hands and knees and crawl to the win

more danger in getting down from

ALASKAN EXCURSION.
Presbyterians Will Holds Their Synod Meeting
on Shin Board,

Presbyterians Will Holds Their Synod Meeting
on Ship Board.
The Presbyterian synod of Washing
ton is planning an excursion to Alas
ka. 1t was decided last fall to hold
this years meeting of synod aboard a
steamer and at the Presbyterian
churches in the towns along the Alas
kan coast, and arrangements therefor
are now perfected. The City of Seat
tie will be chartered and reduced rates
will prevail-$30 for members of
synod and $40 for outsiders, of which
a limited number will be accommo-
dated. This rate, which is the lowest
by $40 ever granted such an excursion,
includes meals and frst-class berth
for o two weeks cruise. Reduced
rates will be granted on the railroads
to and from Seattle, as to all regular
meetings of the synod.
The steamer will leave Seattle about
the first week in August, and any who
wish to secure passage must see Rev.
E. N. Condit within Is days or the
chance will be missed. This is going
to be a grand excursion. The journey
BY water is never on the high seas, but
along the shore among the many
islands, and seasickness will probably
not be suffered. Some of the points
touched at will be Wrangel, Juneau,
Skagway, Dyea, Muir Glacier, Sitka
and Vancouver, B. G.
Mr.. Condit says those who wish to
60 will have to report early in the Is
day limit, as the opportunity is one
that more will wish to take advantage
of than can be accommodated.

FINGER marks on painted doors are
q great annoyance to the tidy house
keeper. These may be removed with
a soft flannel wrung out in water. to
which few drops of ammonia have
been added, then rubbed with soap.
The spots having been removed, the
paint should be washed with clear
water and thoroughly dried. These
marks are the result of carelessness,
for the handle is all that need be
touched in opening and closing any
door.

so solicitous in 1896 to have money

WoOD crackles when it is ignited be-
cause the air expanded by heat forces
its way through the pores of the wood

makes less swapping than dry because
the pores contain less air, being filled
with sap and moisture, which ex-
tinguish the flame, whereas the pores
of dry wood are filled with air, which
supports combustion.

HIS IDEAL OF MANHOOD

A New York gentleman, who is friend
Of Mr. Cash Henderson of this city. has
sent him the following clipping from a
New York paper:
The funeral of Isaac H Bailey, former
" the editor and proprietor of the Shoe
and Leather Journal, took place yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock from the Waldorf
Astoria, where Mr.. Bailey lived. The
funeral was private. The body will be
cremated at the Fresh Pond q. l. Gre
matory. Mr.. Bailey, who was so years
old, was formerly eather merchant He
was a candidate for congress in the Few
enth district in 1874, but was defeated by
Colonel Benjamin A Willis. Directly
after he was appointed a commissioner of
charities by Mayor Vance and was chosen
president of the board holding the posi-
ton for two years, when he resigned it.
He was nominated police commissioner
by Mayor Ely in 1877, and subsequently re-
turned to the board of charities. His
daughter the widow of Captain Charles
Heintzellnan, L. S. A, came from Wash
ington to attend the services. His son is
in Europe. Mr. Bailey was a member of
the Union League, Players, Whist, and
Hide and Leather clubs and of the New
England society. of which he was once
president.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll delivered
the following eulogy over the bier of his
dead friend:
When one whom we hold dear has
reached the end of life and laid his burden
down, it is but natural for US, his friends
to pay the tribute of respect and love; to
tell his virtues, 10 express our sense of
loss and speak above the scudptured clay
some word of hope.
" Our friend about whose bier we stand,
was in the highest and noblest sense
man. He was not born to weaIth-he was
his own providence. his own teacher.
With him work and worship and labor
was his only prayer. He depended on him
self, and was as Independent as it is DOS
sble for man to be. He hated debt, and
obligation as a chain that SCARED his flesh
He lived a long and useful life. In age
he reaped with Joy what he had sown in
youth. He did not linger until his flame
lacked OIL" but with his senses keen. his
mind undimmed, and with his arms filled
with gathered sheaves, in an instant.
pain.essly. unconsciously, he passed from
happiness and health TO the realm of DER
feet peace. We need not mourn for him.
but for ourselves, for those he loved.
He was an absolutely honest mana
man who kept his word. who fulfilled his
contracts, gave heaped and rounded mea-
sure and discharged all obligations with
the tabled chivalry of ancient knights. He
was absolutely honest, not only with 9TH
ers but with himself. To his last moment
his soul was stainless. He was true to
his ideal, true to his thought, and what
his brain conceived his lips expressed. He
refused to pretend. He knew that to be-
iieve without evidence was impossible to
the sound and sane, and that to say you
believed when you did not was possible
