EUROPEAN FOOD LAWS.
Pamphlet Published by the Govern.
ment shows Their Effects on
American Foods,

Prof. Wiley, of the agricultural de-
phlet relating to the pure food laws
of European countries which affect
American exports. He deals with the
question in a general way, and says
with few exceptions almost any food
product which is In a good state OF
preservation, and is labeled in a man
ner to give true iuea of its char
acter. may be sold in any country.
The German law prohibits the inn
portation of canned meat, sausage
and macerated meat of all descrip-
tons. Fresh meat may be imported
under restrictions. The addition to
meat of preservatives and coloring
matter usually is prohibited.
The requirements in regard to
dairy products are similar to those
affecting meat. Butter and cheese
substitutes are required to be brand
ed according to carefully prepared
directions. and the amount of but
ter fat which these substitutes may
contain is limited. Belgium requires
that oleomargarine shall be sold un-
colored, while in Holland and Dem
mark Il maximum depth of color is
prescribed. In Belgium the word
'lard" must be applied only to pure,
unmiXed swine fat, and other edible
fats which contain more than one
per cent. of water or salt must be
labeled ''watered." The addition OF
mineral substances, other than salt
and of chemical preservatives and
glyoerin is forbidden.
In England all adulterated OF i'm
poverished articles of food must be
in packages conspicuously marked
with true description of the con
tents of the packages. In France
food and food products must not bt
colored with any mineral substance
except that Prussian blue. ultra
marine, chalk and ochre may be uset
with CONNECTIONS or similar products
In Italy cereals and mill product
must be In good state of prese1va

Camille Flammarion, French Astron.
omer, Talks of the "Red
Rains" in Italy.

Camille Flammarion, the famous
French astronomer, speaking of the
strange red clouds and rain observed
in Italy, says; 1.-THE atmospheric phe-
nomenon observed in Italy is not of
mysterious import. Popular credul-
ity attributes to red rain SIMS
ter significance. The rain, however,
portends neither earthquake nor any
catastrophe whatever. 1t Is simply
the reddish dust from the Sahara
desert, lifted high into the air by
cyclonic whirlwinds and carried
among the clouds by upper air cur
rents as far as Sicily and Naples.
Sometimes it has been carried still
farther.
Scarcely year passes that 1 do
not receive little package of this
kind Of dust, sent me by observers
living a long way from Africa.
Though very curious, these red
rains should brighten nobody. They
deserve, however, the attention of
the meteorologist as showing the
strength Of tempests. This dust is
extremely fine. Sometimes it is dis
seminated in clouds spreading over
thousands OF square miles, represent

set apart the evening for the cere-
mony of shaving the head and 'trac-
ing the queue" of his four-weeks-old
son, the heir to all his fortune.
Some time ago it was known that
the night in question was to be the
night when midst great rejoicing
Hips baby would be carried to the
josshouse and there syith great
pomp and ceremony would receive
a name, and according to the most
rigid rights of the race submit to the
shaving operation.
The josshouse was gorgeously dec
grated, and it was with great pomp
that Hip, carrying the baby and fol-
lowed by his wife, entered the place.
On all sides We're smiling Cinnamon,
and from the great balcony weird
music. from many string instru-
ment poured forth. Sam Moy, the
mayor of Chinatown, was master OF
ceremonies. Every visitor, accord
ing to custom, brought some coin,
either gold or silver, and all these
were placed in huge tray for the
baby, Immediately after the queue
shaving those present sat down to
banquet and drank rice wine to
the health of the new heir,

NEW SOCIAL PLAN.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Said to He Plots
ting the Overthrow OF the Four
Hundred of New York.

Word comes from Paris that Mrs.
Potter Palmer is at work on plan
that means the humiliation of Goth-
ANS cherished 400" and the reorgan-
ization of an American aristocracy
that shall be national in its scope rath:
er than Manufacturers. The New York
Sunday World prints the story 1t
says:
according to what she several
times confded to her bosom friends
in our Paris-American colony, Mrs.
Palmer is quietly engineering the
overthrow of the present recognized
leaders of American society. 70 this
end she will first disrupt the New 4orl,
coteries of upper fashion which have
in her opinion, assumed undue intlu'
ence and latterly become very much
mixed in character. This being done
she will unite the very flower of so
ciety people in all cities of the United
States and create by this new selec
ton an American aristocpacy, ma
| tional instead of local, and more rep
resentative than the present crowd.

TO GO OVER NIAGARA FALLS.
Which He Plans a Dnr-
ing Trip.

C. Bartholomew, of jackson, Mich,
has a novel scheme, which he has
offered as an attraction for the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo.
Some years ago Bartholomew invent
ed an apparatus with which he pro-
posed to go over Niagara falls. The
apparatus consists of two large
spheres made of sheet steel and lined
with cork.
Inside each sphere is a silk bag
to contain gas, and the spheres are
connected by steel rod, to which
the seat to be occupied by the oper-
ator and sand bags for ballast are
attached. Things are so arranged
that in case of danger one or all of the
ballast bags can be released, and
in case all are released the appar-
atus will start up into the air and
float away like a balloon. The ma
chine is to be constructed on large
float and towed as near the falls as
possible, when it will be rolled off
into the water and float down and
| over the falls. 1t is expected that
the buoyancy of the gas bags will
keep the apparatus on the surface
even while going over the precipice'
Bartholomew claims that this will
be one of the most attractive fea-
lures OF the exposition, and will net
the management large sum, Dur,
ing the trip he proposes to have NOV
ing pictures taken. to be exhibited OF
the exposition grounds.
Bartholomew was until few years
ago engaged in the balloon business
and he has made many ascensions.

HOST OF WOMEN sLEUTHs.
France Has Many Female
Detectives.

Former Chief of Police Gordon, of
Paris, discussing the news that a staff
of women detectives was recently en-
gagged by the Waldorf-Astoria man
agement, declared that more than
5000 women detectives are constantly
employed by the French government.
Hotels also employ them. generally
disguised as chambermaids. Some of
the most useful political spies are real
women Of the world, who do this work
because they need additional funds to
sustain their social position. The
French police prefer pretty women
who have had trouble with justice and
whose penalty has been suspended for
a consideration:

KENTUCKY TALES.
Two Amusing storics from That
state In Which Lawyers
Figure.

An old lawyer here tells of two anus
ing things which, he alleges, occurred
in Kentucky many years ago, says the
Louisville Times. On one occasion a
wealthy man died, leaving fortune,
and the heirs became so dissaushed
with his will that they went to court
to break It, One witness was called
who furnished fun for the crowd. In
giving his testimony he stated that the
deceased did not wish to make viii
because of a dream he had had. He
was intensely superstitious, and TINS
vision rather dampened his enthusl-
asm with regard to making a Will.
And pray" asked one of the lawyers,
what was this remarkable dream
your friend had?"
We'll, SIR" replied the witness, he
dreamed that he made will, and just
as he signed it he saw q lawyer coming
in the room with a big bag to take all
his money away"
At another important trial which
kept things lively witness was a vain,
conceited woman, who fancied she
could teach the lawyer thing or two.
While one Of them was cross-examin-
ing her she became very saucy,
grinnsd at her husband, who sat in
sight, and remarked tartly: "Mr.
Blank, you needn't worry me with
them questions; you Jest can't cotch
me-"
Madam" said the lawyer, Heaven
knows ! don't want to cotch you, and
your husband looks like he was sorry
| he ever did"
She was swept up and carefully re-
| moved from the stapd.

'' opens in December,
Expositions' and has appropri-
ated S5,Oo0.o0O toward the "Loulslana
Purchase Exposition" which is to be
held at st. Louis in 1908. Indeed, the
rarlier years of this century may be
described in future as the ERA OF eA-
positions" since seven or eight great
fairs have already been projected.
The first exposition of the twentieth
century, however, will be the Fan
American, opening May 1 at Buffaio'
and the present duty of all parts OF
the country is to plan for the support
of that. The Charleston fair will not
begin until about the time the Buffalo
fair ends: the ST. Louis exposition and
several lesser ones are still Ill the
distance; none of them needs to, or
should, distract attention from bur
falo. The enterprising city on Lake
Erie is centrally situated, beautiful of
itself and in it's surrounding, and adj
mirably qualified to take care OF
crowd" AS for the exposition, it would
appear that all the details of construc-
ton, exhibition and management have
been carefully thought out, to the end
that it may be all that SO extensive
a fair should be. Many of the build
ings are already completed and impor-
tant exhibits are even now in place,
and this one fact speaks volumes for
the wisdom and energy of the direc-
ton.

The managers of department store
in Harlem, N. Y, lately rescued one OF
their employees from the clutches of
particularly rapacious loan shark. In
1898 he borrowed $50, giving mis- note.
and receiving only $14, the remainder
being retained as commission. The
note has been renewed over and over
again, six dollars being deducted each
time, and although he had made many
payments the loan sharks declared he
still owed them $196. Threats OF
prosecution for usury induced them to
cancel the note on payment of $14.
The loan shark is much in evidence
throughout the land. and it is high
time for legislation that will check his
rapacity.
