THE "FEATIRoN..'" : .
Impinging on It, the Wind Does Some
 H Stunts.

d.
 The high wind has been playing pranks at Twenty-third street and Fifth avenue unknown before the cree ton of the ''fatRon" building. x
 ''Tve been on this crossing for four teen years" said Jacob Myers, the big cop of the Broadway squad, stationed on the Twenty-third street crossing at Fifth avenue, land I haven't suffered so much in all that time as I have in the past two days <-
 '"The wind has twice the velocity Ethat it used to have. When it comes from the northwest 1t strikes the upper stories of that building and takes a Idive to the street: then it shoots across Fifth avenue and lambastes the buildings on the west side of the street. The stores there now have big boys who do nothing else but hang on to tho front doors and try to keep them shut.
 "In one gust syesterdayeI saw twelve women chasing their hats on that cor tner. In some cases l have to take women and children up in my arms to get them across the avenue. The winds dash around here as I never see l em before'
 Michael T. Bennett, the Broadway lsquad man at Broadway and Twenty third street. has been stationed there for three years. He said yesterday: There's been high-falutin' times around here since that building wont lup. The women can't stand llp lagalnsE the wind that caroms off thab building. They just sit right down | to keep from blowing away. I'ye seen number of women tumbIed over Hike tenpins. The wind breaks like | wave against the sides of the building and the undertow that sweeps down and across the streets is fierce. The other day hayrick on a wagon was lifted and dropped il the street here near the curb. It probably weighed BOO pounds. The buildings On the east side of Broadway get the worst of it and smashing of plate glass windows has been going on there for the last three weeks.''
 At the Twenty second street onrrer is q c, thing store where two plate lglass windows, one on tie Broadway 1 side and one on the Twenty-second street side, were smashed two or three weeks ago. New windows were put l in and the one on the Broadway side was broken out again on Sunday. 1 Next door below, at o46, florists there have had one window blown in They have others braced. with wooden string pieces. At 944 the big show window was demolished about week ago. The store at 942 lost it's display window on Monday.
 Formerly the Hotel Bartholdi suf- lfered when there was . high wind. The "fatiron" has apparently caused the air currents to take new courses, which has relieved the pressure Tt the Bartholdi corner.
 l From whatever direction the v-ind comes the shortA block in Twenty-sec- ond street. between Broadway and Fifth avenue, acts as a funnel andN the blasts there are almost as bad as at Twenty-third street.
 H. $. Black, of the Fuller Construc- ltion company, that built the "flatiron" building, said yesterday that they were pleased at the way the building has acted in the gales of the past few days. With wind at the velocity of sixty miles an hour, he said there was no vibration to cause anxiety New York lSun.

For Her st..er.. sake.

Stendal. Ind, March 10th. Mrs. Sarah
A. Shrode of this place says:
II suffered much as many other wo-
men do with Kidney and Bladder
Troubles. I tried many medicines, but
got no relief until used Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mine boxes of this remedy cured me
completely, and feel it my duty to my
fellow women to make this statement.
Il can heartily recommend them to
any woman suffering with Kidney and
Bladder Ailments"
The good words Of Mrs. Shrode will
be good news for many of her suffering
sisters. Dodds Kidney Pills have prov
en- themselves to be sick women's best
friend, for they are as effectual in all
cases of Female Weakness as in Blad-
der and Kidney Disease.

or violet. Up-to-date mothers no long
err vie with each other on the point OF
delicate elaboration. They do not vie
any more at all. Their one object is to
make everything as sanitary ad COM
Portable as possible for the newcomer.
Sometimes they give sigh for the
pretty bow or frill Of lace, but, after
ALL everything in the new fashion looks
so clean and sensible and wholesome.
they come to see the other was only q

in it. Things have advanced in the last
few years. The nursery Is one Of them.

PlJRE-FOOD LAW.
Kentucky Tests Show Fruit jolly Mate
Wholly of Glue.

Kentucky Test. Show Fruit Jolly Maj.
Wholly OF Glue.
The General Assembly of Kentucky
recently enacted law providing for
the inspection of food products sold in
that state, and intrusted the work to
the agricultural experiment station.
The station submitted report show
ing that fully 40 per cent of all sam
pies of food taken were adulterated.
Some of the adulterants used are in
furious to health; others have been
put in to cheaper articles of food. AS
examples of the former, the inspectors
found so-called fruit jellies" made
wholly or in part Of glue and artificial
coloring and flavoring matters. They
found salicylic acid, sometimes in
large quantities. in tomato catsups,
preserves and other food products
which were sold as pure, and formalde-
hyde and other preservatives in milk,
which perhaps in some cases was fed
to infants. The most striking example
Of all is in the case of essence of pep
permint and essence of cinnamon.
These extracts contained wood alcohol,
a poisonous substance, as one of the in.
gradients. In the preparation of these
essences a mixture of wood alcohol
and common alcohol was used in place
of common alcohol, presumably to
avoid the government tax on alcohol.
This condition of affairs is by no
means confined to Kentucky. Equally
fragrant instances of adulteration are
reported in the publications of other
stations engaged in the inspection OF
foods and from many other sources.

WHERE rs syERDRUPs

Hopes of Promoters of Arctic Rec
search Seem to BE Dashed.
A few months ago the Norwegian
promoters of Arctic research expressed
their firm belief that Capt. sverdrup
and his vessel, the Fran, had pushed
around the north end Of Greenland and
were nov somewhere on the east coast
Of the great island, says the New York
Sun.
Their faith in this supposition has
now been greatly shaken by o letter
from DR.. Robert Stein. who, when he
sailed to the north to explore Ellesmere
Land, some two years ago, took a
large quantity of mail for, Sverdrup
and his men. DR.. Stein says chat, al
though he spent two winters on Smith
Sound, he had discovered no trace Of
Sverdrup, and he did not believe that
the explorer had overcome the difficult
conditions of ice navigation in Smith
Sound.
He therefore, had no confidence that
Sverdrup had left the neighborhood of
Ellcsmere Land through Smith Sound.
He was Of the opinion that Sverdrup
had gone west through Jones Sound,
and was either attempting to make the
Northwest passage to Boring Strait or
was trying to set north through the
sea to the west of Ellesmere Land.
Sverdrup had distinctly announced
his intention to explore the arcnipcla-
go north Of Greenland and to trace the
unknown part of the east coast of that
island. 1t is, indeed, very surprising
that he should have left the place in
Smith Sound where he passed his first
winter, changed his plans and sailed
away to carry them out without leav-
ing any news of his intentions with
Pearey, who would gladly have for
warded to Europe any communication
which Sverdruo had to make to his
friends.
AS it is, they have not the slightest
idea of the whereabouts of the Fran.
She may be trying to push through
the channels north of this continent
and achieve the complete Northwest
passage. which has never yet been
done by single vessel.
The passage so long sought for in
vain is known to exist only because
one vessel from Bering Sea and an
other from Jones Sound came so near
together during the Franklin search
that sledge parties easily passed be-
tween them.
IT, on the other land, Sverdrup
turned north after passing through
Jones Sound, he may be making new
discoveries in the unknown northern
part of the Parry Archipelago, or he
may have passed beyond the islands
into the waters of the unknown Arctic
sea.
The fact is, however, that all guesses
as to Sverdrup's whereabouts are fu-
tile. Nobody knows at present within
thousands of miles. where he may be;
a search for him, therefore. upder
present circumstances, would be the
Franklin search over again, with an
excellent prospect, if misfortune had
befallen him. that his fate might not
be discovered for dozen years, if ev-
er, however many expeditions might
be sent out to find traces of him.
1t is not surprising. therefore, that
the Norwegians have decided to wait
while before trying to carry out meas
ures OF relief. Sverdrur had supplies
to last at least another year. and it is
hcred that news may be received from
him during the coming year.

that the remark was in bad taste.

Way-housekeeper, chaperon, compan-

she is occasionally depressing"
"You will give me something to do?''
said Janetta, when Miss Seymour came
to pause. mot the things that Mrs,
Mortimer has done for you, it might
hurt her feelings"
"Oh, you will not have much to do.
You will be cheerful when I'm sad.
and kind when I'm cross; and you
won't offer to read aloud unless l ask
you, and you will talk when l want
you to talk; and, above all things,
you won't try palpably to amuse me.
Nothing bores me like that; and /
do hope you can arrange flowers nice

round as pumpkins, and is so annoyed
when I criticise.

change of subject, "how you liked Cap
tain Merivale? I'm engaged to him,
you know, and he has come to stay
here for little bit before he goes out
to India. He is ordered to the front"
HE was very kind" replied Janetta.

you will not need an introduction

was pleased with you, because he said
you were the only woman in the acct

take that form with me; it makes me
