FOOD IN SMALL TABLETS,
Cleveland Leader.

Another wonderful scientific dis.
covery is reported from Paris. Food,
1t is said, can now be produced from
inorganic matter A substitute for
! meat can be made from various gases,
and grease possessing all the nutrient
properties OF animal fat can be got
from petroleum. One of the discover
ers declares that city provided with
-2ie necessary apparatus can in the fu-
ture withstand an armed siege regard
less OF the quantity OF food on hand.
OF course this discovery will be
hailed with acclaim by the scientists.
For several years there have been ex-
periments along the line OF producing
condensed foods, to be taken in tabloid
form as substitute for the animal
and vegetable foods that are now
served on the table. Enthusiastic ad.
vocates of the tabloid fad have insisted
that it would be possible for a person
to swallow in one tabloid the equiva-
lent of pound of beefsteak, and in
other tabloids the equivalent OF all
the vegetable, bread and pastry con-
sumed in an ordinary meal. 1t has
been urged that this would not only
give the person the best part of the
foods without the injurious elements,
but it would also result in a great saw
ing Of time, which is so valuable to an
active people like the Americans.
Condensed foods have been served to
the American army for experimental
purposes, and have been used with
more or less success.
II the French scientists have now
discovered a way by which foods can
be produced out of almost nothing,
and their discovery can be utilized by
the tabloid advocates, the problem of
living some day may be solved in q
startling way. Too much should not
be taken for granted, however. While
the French scientists have made an
important discovery, it is not likely to
be OF much present value. Ii is said
that while they can produce edible
grease from petroleum, it will take a
year to complete the chemical opera
ton, and the grease will cost 81 900 a
pound. For the present, then, most
people would prefer to eat oleomargar-
inc and take the chances. Neverthe-
less every milestone in the onward
march of science should be marked
and recorded. Some day this latest
discovery may be OF commercial value.

Novel Nursing Bottle.

The most curious feeding bottle in
the world has recently been found in
Madagascar. 1t consists of a long
hollow reed OF bamboo, one end oI
which is placed in the child's mouth
Near the other end is a hole, and
through this the mother slowly pours
milk or other liquid from a vessel
The little ones quickly adapt them.
selves to this novel method OF imbib.
ing nourishment, and their mothers
claim that food given in this way does
them far more good than if it were
given by hand or from an ordinary
bottle.
This singular practice prevails
especially among the women of the
Betsimisaraha tribe, and is said to be
very ancient. One reason may be be-
cause the people OF this tribe have a
sort of veneratioE for the bamboo,
fashioning it not only into drinking
vessels, but also into musical instru-
ments, which are very popular.

The Way the Fight Began.

At Butte City, Mont, recently a
German, talking to . bartender upon
the subject of labor unions, said:
81 tell you, uf man wants brotec-
ton in dis country he must jine a
union"
An Irishman standing near. hearing
the remark replied:
"Phats thot about China union?
We'll have no China unions in this
conthry. I'm telling you."
"Who said anything about China
union! I say man what wants bro
lection in this country must jine a
union," replied the German.
"There you 90 again with your
China union. Wen have no China
unions here, Pm tellin' ye," said the
Irishman.
"I didn't say China union." replied
the irate German; II said jine a

A Dog That Grows.

Gene Jacobs, the u-year-old dsugh-
ter of Edward Jacobs of St. Louis, is
the possessor OF Newfoundland dog
that crows like rooster. 1t awakens
the neighbors every morning by its
peculiar sounds. Rover, as the animal
is called, was raised from puppyhood
with large Brahma rooster that was
given to little Gene by her fathers
grocer. The dog and chicken at first
showed marked sntipathy for each
other. They fought and scratched at
every opportunity. One day, however,
they patched up their differences and
became fast friends. That was about
a year ago, and since then they have
been inseparable companions, sleeping
aud eating together and deriving
mutual enjoyment from the same pur-
suits. Eight months ago the Jacobs
family we're surprised at hearing Rover
utter crow that sounded exactly like
that OF Danny the rooster. After that
the dog continued its Growing with
morning regularity. Danny opens up
the program and is followed by Rover.
Their crows are the same pitch, and it
is impossible to tell them apart.
Experts in "dogology" have investi-
gated the phenomenon and examined
Rover's larynx. They found the ami
mails vocal organs like those OF all
other dogs, and are mystified at its
peculiar powers. Danny formerly
roasted in an apple tree, but as his
friendship for Rover increased he
abandoned his lofty perch, and now
takes up his nightly abode in the dogs
kennel.

It is said that earrings are coming
into fashion again. OF course it is
the geutler sex who will wear them.
Decadent man hasn't got back to the
earring stage yet. When he does he
will wear nose ring, too, and brace
lets on his ankles, and anklets on his
arms.
They say it doesn't hurt any more
to ft yourself for nose ring than it
does for the ear mutilators-and the
nose ring attracts lots more attention.
Of course lovely woman will have her
earrings back ii she insists upon it,
and she'll make man an accessory to
the extent OF bleeding his pocketbook
to pay for them.
But there isn't masculine person
OF the years OF discretion-outside the
jewelry business, OF course-who won't
tell her that she looks infinitely
prettier without dragging down her
shell.like ears with chunks Of gold
and glittering pebbles-and some Of
them will really mean it, too.

SOME INDIAN NAMES.
Found by Gen, Hazard Stevens in Old Pub
Docs.

In writing the life of Washington s
first Governor, General Hazard Stevens
had occasion to look over all the re-
ports sent to Washington, d. c., in
regard TO Indian affairs in the north
wet. Among these papers he learned
that the early Indian name for the
Spokane tribe was Sin-HuMan-Isb.
Included in the papers at Washing
ton is a map Of the interior from the
Cascade mountains to Fort Benton.
1t was made by Governor Stevens and
sent to the national capitol in April,
1857. This map gives the Indian
names for many Of the towns and dis
tricts, which are called to-day by
names much more easily pronounced.
According to that map, person
could step from Washington Territory
over into Nebraska. Washington ex-
tended east to the dividing ridge of
the Rocky mountains, while Nebraska
included the Blackfoot country.
The location of the city of Spokane
is indicated by the following:
Spokane house ruins)."
Camp Washington was a few miles
west OF the hills, while Antoine Plants
blockhouse was on the north side of
the river and about 10 miles above
the falls.
Before the white man came with
his modern system of orthography the
Indian name for Palouse" was Just
" Peluse."
The Colville country in those early
days was called by the name "Shwo.
yelpi."
The Indians OF the Okanogan coun-
try called themselves by the name Of
4" Okinakane."
The Kootenay river and country are
marked on the map of Governor
Stevens as the "Skalsa."
The Indians living in the Yakima
country were called the {. Pisquouse" or
" Sin-Ko-oo-Isb."
The big lake near Sprague is in.
dicated on the map as Lake Sil-kat-
kwn.

around the parents of the girl until
he finds how they stand on the sub
ject and how much they are willing to
give of a dowry. In case the young
man is not in q position to support
wife, he tries to arrange the dowry and
the conditions of the marriage settle
ment SO that the couple may have
regular help from the parents of tine
girl until the young family is self-sup-
porting. Then he draws up the con-
tracts, and assesses fee proportionate
to their means.
Orthodox Jewish congregations have
another functionary carrying on a
! trade still more curious. This is the
"tenth man." the parsonage whose
business it is to complete the number
present in ceremonial. According to
the orthodox rites, 10 males of adult
age must be present at every service.
In all the orthodox, synagogues pray
ers must be offered morning and night.
Furthermore, morning and night
prayers must be said in every house of
mourning for week after the funeral.
1t is not always possible to get to-
gether the full number OF worshipers
in such frequent ceremonies, and,
attached to every orthodox synagogue
in large cities there are a number of
regularly salaried men whose business
it is to fill out the number. They are
usually old men past active usefulness
in other employments, and, therefore,
do not receive very liberal sum, but
tits enough to give them means of
| livelihood.

Relative Value Of Wooden and Steel Cars
Carefully figured estimates of the
earnings per year of wooden and steel
cars gives q single steel car. on account
of its lighter weight and larger capac-
ity, an advantage of $54.5O. There
being somewhere near 100000 wood
en- cars in service in the country,
there would be an aggregate yearly
saving OF $141,750,0OO if steel
cars were used. Another estimate,
taking the capacity of the cars
as a starting point, gives a result oil
$147 100000 saved. There are now
about $4,000 pressed steel cars in use,
and the first one was made only four
years ago.

The Midway Attractions.

The Midway in all its glory is in evil
dence on Main street and the Main
thoroughfares running into it, today.
There is some kick about the chsrac-
ter Of the shows which will be given, but
it remains to be seen whether the per.
formances given are lewd or in the least
objectionable. Geo. O. Larry, the pro-
prietor Of the carnival features said to a
Sentinel reporter this morning that he
would place at the disposal Of anyone
free tickets 20 the shows and il they saw
anything Objectionable, or anything
which is not in evidence at the regular

paper in the state, together with invita-
tions to the people of various towns to
attend. II such has been done at Grand

but few weeks ago, special Sunday
train was run to that city when big
crowd Of Glenwood people took advant-

only good will between the two places
since.
Thursday ia to be the big day OF the
Grand junction celebration. There will
be peach banquet which will last the
best part OF the day; a baseball game
between Glenwood and Grand Junction;
balloon race between two well known
aeropauts; realistic reproduction OF a
stage robbery; another OF an Indian
massacre, and the day will wind up with
masquerade ball. There will be a
special train run from Glenwood. Glen
