:. Imitation Jellies.
from the Minneapolis Tribune.


The selling of impure preserves has made
but little trouble in Minnesota until recent
ly, but the state dairy and food commits
sion proposes to look after 1t closely.
The impure preserves put on the market
are made from a basis of apple pumice. The
pumlce is the refuse of apple parings and
apple cores that are thrown aside by the
canneries and evaporators. This refuse ma
terial is baled and sold to concerns that are
interested In getting cheap products on the
market. The refuse Is fed through ma
chimes that reduce 1t to pulp. The pumice
is then given an addition of glucose and a
dash of fiavoring and coloring extracts. In
this condition 1t can be strained so as to
come forth very marketable Jelly.
If preserves are wanted the pumice is left
unstrained and given an addition of a small
quantity of real fruit. Strawberry pre-
serves are made by throwing in strawberry
fiavoring and adding enough timothy seed
to keep up an illusion. Raspberry preserves
require appropriate favor and color and the
addition of turnip seed instead of timothy.
These fraudulent preserves and jellies are
not necessarily injurious to health In all
cases, but the nature Of their composition
makes them undesirable materials of COM
merce, and they are under the ban of the
state law.

Every disease shows itself In the blood.
It doesn't matter what it is, particularly IL
it's germ-bred disease, you'll find 1t in the
blood. Consumption germs float through
the blood. So do cancer germs. AS easily

eczema, scrofula, and many, many other dis
eases that are often very deceiving. Germs
that create the diseases which take human
lives are small, so in6nitesimal that millions
= upon millions occupy space scarcely per-
ceptble to the naked eye. These little, living
demons, some resembling spiders, others
snakes, lizards, centipedes, tarsntuIas, are
transported from one part of the system to
another-the same as river carries drift
wood from one bank to another. When they
come in contact with particularly weak
spot they cling to it, and, presto! you're in
their grasp. They gnaw away the flesh and
delicate membranes and tissues as beaver

kind of disease one has, or may be going to
have, is to look at these little sssassins, and

you know precisely what ails you, then you
know how to treat it intelligently. Many

diseases have similar symptoms. The only
sure way to detect disease is to examine at

THE PARLIAMENTARY EYEGLASS
Anecdotes of Lord Beaconsfeld and
Other Conjurers of the Article.


Few accessories of personal attire have
played a more interesting part in parlia-
mentary life than the simple eyeglass. The
silk hat, as we know, Is indispensable;
member of the house of commons often
moves and has his being entirely by virtue
of his headgear; but the dexterous use of
the parliamentary eyeglass has often pro-
duced thrilling impressions.
The greatest conjurer In the use of this
little article the historic legislative chamber
ever contained was the late Lord Beacons-
field 1t has often been said of him that he
was a splendid actor. He certainly con-
trved by a sort of dumb show with his eye
glass to create striking theatrical effects,
and the manner In which he would manage,
when 1t suited him, to lose the thing in the
folds of his clothing, so that he could pause
in his speech while he fumbled for the miss
ing article-a momentary respite which gave
him time to thlnk-was a frequent subject
Of mirth in the smoking rooms.
One incident of the kind will never be for
gotten by those who witnessed 1t. Mr.. Dis
raeli, then prime minister, was speaking
with great solernnity on question of for
eign policy. He had been several times
noisily interrupted by somewhat bolster
Gus Scotch representative, who threw out
ironical cheers without any relevant appE-
cation. At the third or fourth attempt the
great minister stopped abruptly in the mid
in the crowded house as members watched
the statesman slowly feel for his eyeglass,
mechanically adjust it to his eye, and then,
turning to the direction of the interruption,
give the Highland gentleman one expressive
look Having satisfied himself of the iden-
tty of the offender, an expression came over
the prime minister's face which seemed to
say: "Oh, it's you, is it? Poor fellow, you
don't know better!'' The eyeglass dropped
with clnk against the watch chain and
the speaker resumed his remarks at the
very point of the broken sentence. That
honorable member had good reason to re-
member the episode throughout his parlia-
mentary career. His colleagues never al
lowed him to forget 1t.
When Disraeli could find his eyeglass in a
hurry and fix it promptly it was sure sign
that he was annoyed. In the course of a
heated debate the prime minister was once
repelling an attack made upon him by Mr..
Gladstone The veteran liberal leader made
some audible comment upon what Disraeli
was saying, which in the excitement Of the
moment Mr.. Henry Chaplin took upon him
self to answer across the floor of the house.
Mr.. Chaplin had not understood the point of
Mr.. Gladstone's criticism, and his interrupt
ton gave the old parliamentary hand an op-
portunity of putting in an explanation which
the prime minister did not want. When it
came to his turn to resume his speech he
firmly placed his eyeglass and turning al
most viciously upon Mr.. Chaplin (who, of
course, sat on the ministerial side), and
looking hard at him, exclaimed, "Sir, I am
not obliged to my right honorable friend
for this interruption"

fact is, have known dogs to quit the trail
when 1t was fresh enough to indicate that
the distance between them and the cata-
mount could be measured in seconds. They
will scatter and scamper around to the sides
of the trail, resorting to the same circular
course they describe when they suddenly
lose a trail They do not care to surprise
They know what 1t will mean to them.
Even pups out on their first chase, seem
to be wise enough instinctively to give the
catamount a wide range. They are des-
perate fighters, and in the season when food
is scarce, and when they become lean and
lank from foraging, they are especially des-
perate. 1 remember an experience 1 had

A TYPICAL PARTISAN.
Death of Representative Boulevardier
After an Interesting Career.

From the London Telegraph.
Count Louis de Ponteves, whose death is
announced at the age of eighty-seven, was
almost the sole surviving representative of
the generation of true boulevardiers, which
not only is becoming extinct in the course
of nature, but has failed to find in its sue
cessors heirs to it's traditions. The courtly
old exquisite, who has passed away after
the first Illness he ever experienced
throughout his life. was typically Partisan
In sense which can be applied to none Of
the weil-known figures of modern Paris.
He was not in the least bohemian, and his
birth and his position distinguished him
from the py-go-lucky and occasionally
out-at-elbow wits of the boulevard under
the second empire. But he was one with
them in his exclusive alteration of Paris
and things Partisan.
The modern FrenchmaE looks, or tries to
look, beyond the boulevard, even though he
may perpetually gaze through boulevardicr
spectacles. Count de Ponteves and the men
of his day and set considered that there
was absolutely nothing worth seeing out
side the four Boulevards de la Madeleine
des Capucines, des Italiens and Mont
martre. and possibly a few yards up the
Boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle. Born in the
year of the battle of Waterloo, he had been

'Blood Wine," the leading
medicine Of today, has from the moment Of
its discovery led the way in the general
overthrow Of disease merely because it treats
disease in an entirely new way. The princi-
pie upon which 'Blood Wine" works is to
abstract from the blood the poisons that
stagnate the system, and to cause each
organ to perform its work. People that are
diseased have some-frequently several
organs that are inactive. This medicine
arouses them, in keeping with nature. 1t is
not temporary stimulant. 1t is not mar
cotic, or q deadener of pain or feeling. It
acts In the system as steam does in an
engine. 1t furnishes energy, supplies fuel,
and draws out of the blood the germs from
every nook and corner. The makers of
"Blood Wine," in order that every body may
have q chance to know scientifically what
flows through their blood, have arranged
with an eminent physician and bacteriologist
"a man skilled in all the phases of BAG
teriology, who can tell at q glance at their
blood the state of ones general health, the
for recovery, or the chances of
early death: just what should be done to de.
stroy the germs, and what should be done to
rebuild the weakened tissues.
