Charlotte Brou,e,s Manuscripts.

Readers Of Mrs. Gaskelrs life Of
Charlotte Bronte will remember allu-
sions to the early manuscripts written
by the author of "Jane Eyre" These
were got up in the style Of home made
books. the pages being two or three
inches square and the writing being SO
very minute that it is with difficulty
deciphered even with fairly good mi
crOscope.
Charlotte's lonely glrlhoOd at Ha-
worth was enlivened by the writing of
these singular manuscripts. Why she
wrote so very small has never been ex-
planned. Ii is certain, however, that
the trouble she had with her eyes in
after life was caused by this strange
freak of authorship. Fl. P. Smith. an
American bibllophile, has collected sew
eral of these tiny manuscripts. The
pages are one and half by two inches
in size, and the book Is bound" in the
blue paper that druggists use for pow
ders. Charlotte Bronte wrote this when
she was IA years old. and on the last
page, in the same microscopic hand. Is
written: Il wrote this in four hours"

HOW NATIONS KILL DOGS.

EIectrOcuted in the Pounds of Great
Cities of America.
Killing the great number OF dogs that
fill the dog pounds of large cities is a
problem that has been solved i'm dif.
ferent ways by different countries. In
the United States electricity is gener.
ally used. 1t causes instant death, but
its great objection is that only one dog
can be killed at a time This Is n slow
process in pounds containing thousands

France seems to have speedier and
equally humane method. 1t has re-

every dog dies without struggle. BY

chloroform is used, but Paris has de-
cided that the chloroform is useless.

CONDEMNED in Missouri and Confisca.
ted in New York


Judge Clarke of ST. Louis has con.
victed and fined heavily a number OF
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment Of New York seized quantity of
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus tax
Ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets Of injuri-
GUS substitutes in place Of wholesome
baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents pound
there is a great temptation for those
manufacturers who make substitutes
and imitation goods to use ii. Alum
baking powders can be detected by
the health authorities by chemical an
alysis. but the ordinary housekeeper,
whose assistance in protecting the
health Of the people is important. can
not make chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for
a pound can, or that some prize-like a
spoon, or glass, or piece Of crockery. or
wooden ware-is given with the powder
as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
importance of this subject and cOnsum-
ers insist on having baking powder Of
established name and character, and as
the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades. the alum danger
will. it is hoped. finally be driven from
our homes.

1t becomes more evident every day
that the present tariff schedule cannot
stand much longer. The paramount is
sue Of the Congressional elections this
year will be the tariff and the old lines
will be changed very decidedly. There
are many men now demanding a re-
ductiOn of duties who even two years
ago would have stubbornly opposed
any such thing. The split in the Re
publican party on this question is wi
dening rapidly. The Republican press
Is even more divided than the Repub-
lican politicians. Seldom has any par
ty in this country been so much at sea
as the Republicans are now on reciproc-
ity. They are famous folk for getting
together, but if they can reconcile their
differences on this question they will

HISTORY OF HIGH HAND SHAKE.
Late President Mckinley Said 60 BE
Responsible for Practice.

Late President Mckinley Said 60 BE
Responsible for Practice.
The high hand shake" which pre-
walls in Washington to such cOnsid
cradle extent, and which is particular
circles. is said 10 have been introduced
by the late President Mckinley. The
hand shake of the late President was
one of the most attractive and interest
ing things about him.
When receiving a large number Of
people in haste his right hand was al-
ways held out in the customary fash
ion. but when receiving Cabinet Otii-
GERS, congressman and others in his
private office there was an air about
his hand shake that was irresistible.
The elbow of the right arm usually
rested close TO his body. while his hand
was held upward nearly with level
with his chin. thereby requiring the
other person to raise his hand to that
level. Then Mr.. Mckinley would grasp
the hand in n clasp with the fingers of
his hand around the fingers Of the 9TH
er person. The Presidents hand would
move to the right and left three or four
times and the hand shake would be con-
cluded. Mr.. Mckinley rarely departed
from that method of hand shaking, and
in time those who were with him grew
accustomed to 1t and became devotees
of the habit themselves.
Soon after Mr. Mckinley commenced
this method Of hand-shaking the diplo-
matte corps took it up. and now 1t is
generally known as the diplomatic"
hand shake. 1t is still in existence
among the foreign representatives and
is extending to other circles. Secretary
CortelyOu. whose long association with
the late President made him familiar
with the ways Of the latter, grew ac-
customed to shaking hands in the same
manner as President Mckinley. He
now has no other way of clasping the
extended hand but this one. Public men
in Washington often speak Of President
McKinley's hand shake as one Of the
most interesting they have ever known

A Postmasser's Discovery.

Lancaster. N. Y. April 21.-Mr John
Remers, postmaster of this village, was
taken with Diabetes four years ago.
For two years he d0ctOred with local
as well as several specialists
from Buffalo, but got no better. In
deed he was gradually growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors meli-
cine and commenced treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and Is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to nothing
but Dodd's Kidney Pills and says:
III could only talk Ave minutes to
every one who has Diabetes l am sure
I could convince them that they neein't
suffer moment longer when Dodd's
Kidney Pills are on sale in every drug
store.
Il will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as l think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the remedy
that saved my life"

Thi. Minister Wa. Hungry.

Representative Adamson. of Georgia,
tells Of Methodist preacher in his
State who lived on a very small sal
ary, and at times found 1t difficult to
get his quarterly installment. The
minister had made repeated calls OH
his steward for funds, but each time
had been put OF with some excuse.
His wants at length became urgent,
and he went to his steward and told
him that he must have his money, as
his family were suffering for the nee
essaries of life.
Money! replied the steward. you
preach for money? l thought you
preached for the salvation of souls.'
Souls" said the minister. Il can't
eat souls, and II I could it would take
a thousand such as yours to make a
decent neal"

Kansas when on the way to summon

River, which was besieged by the In
dams.
The two scouts had made their way
under cover of the darkness until they
