THE pAN-AMER1cAN EXPOSITION.

The exposition at Buffalo will be one
of the greatest this country has ever
seen. The entire machinery will be run
by the power furnished from Niagara
Falls. Although the motive power re-
quired is enormous we believe it is equal
to the task, the same as Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is equal to the task of sup
plying the human body with motive pow
er when it is enfeebled and run down. It's
power to revitalize the system and sup
ply new life and energy is well known.
There is no other medicine in the world
so good for dyspepsia, indigestion, fiatul-
ency and nervousness. 1t has been the
favorite medicine for over fifty years. Be
sure and get the genuine with Private
Revenue Stamp over the neck of the bot
tie.

Board, in sustaining the claim of the i'm
porters, remarked that "thc sugar beet
contains, on an average, over l3 per cent
Of sugar; a ripe pineapple is still richer
ia saccharine matter" while the fruit,
the classification of which was the sub
ject of the Boards decision in the lat
ter case, contained even "A greater per-
"ontage of saccharine matter Qruit su-
gar, namely, 1870 per cent, although it
was held. sustaining the protest, that
the pineapplcs were fruits preserved in
their own juices" The Government
chemist who made the analysis of the
official samples in that case reported as
follows
"Pineapples at maturity contain 11.33
per cent OF cane sugar, which, owing to
the presence of "A peculiar ferment, is
usually converted into fruit sugar, in
which form it is determined as reduc-
ing sugar by means Of feelings solu-
ton This sugar IL OFFICIALLY inactive,
and Is the only sugar present in the
strip, analysis of which Is given. The
excess found over that usually present
In the ripe fruit is doubtless due to con-
Ccntration Of the juice of the fruit. Had
cane sugar been added its presence
would be manifested by its optical activ-
ity, even If inverted by the acid of the
| fruit and the heat employed in concen-
! trating."
/ The last sentence of the foregoing re-
port of the analytical chemist in that
case does not support the statement of
the appraiser a your port to the effect
that, owing to the large percentage of
sugar naturally contained in the fruit,
( is difficult, If not impossible in some
cases, to determine whether cane sugar
has been added to pineapples, although
the possibility, under certain conditions.
of detecting added sugar is admitted.
While there is a specific provision in
paragraph 263 of the act of 1897 for pine
apples preserved in their own juice, the
same, preserved in sugar, are not pro-
vidcd for GO nomine; hence the latter
class falls within the first clause of said
paragraph providing for fruits preserved
in sugar, not specially provided
for in this Act"
/ lnasmuch as the question is one of fact
q to be determined by proper analyses, it
is, therefore, directed that the classi-
ncation of preserved pineapples shall he

by the Government chemist, and in any

Montreal. Feb. 6--The great bugabOO

sorry. and. as King Edward has been
the grand master OF the MasOns of
England. there was some curiosity to
see what the mouth piece of Ultra-MOn-
tanism would say about him and his
connection with the order. La Verite,
however, is comparatively mild in the
remarks, and quite disappointed those
who expected a diatribe against the
king. 1t quotes an article from a Que
bee French paper giving the queen g
masonic history and proceeds:
we know that the king of England
is Mason of high grade and also that
Queen. Victoria was a protector of that
sect which is cOLd mined by the church
But high in rank as King Edward VII
may be, he is probably not au courant
with what passes in the inner circles
of free masonry. The true chiefs of the
sect, who are not always the seeming
chiefs. accord willingly titles and
places of honor to kings and princes.
but they guard the masonic secrets for
themselves They wish to turn to their
profit the prestige Of royalty, VOLTA tout
Notwithstanding that the king is not in
the intimate secrets of masonry. it is
none the less painful for his Christian
subjects to see him engaged in such an
