Pure Food Laws Enforced

The ST. Louis papers report sever
al more grocers brought to trial up
on the charge of selling baking
powder containing alum in violation
of the law. The parties were all
convicted and each fined 500.
Several baking powders which
have been found by analysis to con-
tain alum have been offered in this
market They are called BENGAL,
|. c., GROWN, CALUMET,
and CHAPMAN'S.
In many places similar powders,
under these or other names, are
offered for sale at from ten to TWEEN
ty cents a pound.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen.
There are several good powders on
the market; housekeepers will help
the authorities in their efforts to
promote the sale of pure and health
full food, if when buying baking
powder they will insist upon having
some one of the we'll known brands
of cream of tartar powders, which
are pure and healthful beyond a
doubt.

Tea Drinking.

The custom Of tea drinking is ss
old as the Chinese empire, end as
early as $50 A. D. a duty was levied
on the tea that grew wild on the
Chinese mountains. But it is with
in two centuries that its use was
adopted by the English, when the
East Tea company imported it and
it was sold at $25 a pound. It's use
was confined to the royal household.
in the reign of Henry VII. re-
freshment consisting of tea and
cakes was called a voide.
On the occasion Of the marriage
dinner of Catherine of Aragon and
Arthur, prince of Wales, the court
chronicler wrote: "The evening re-
freshment called voide was brought
in by fcurscore earls, barons and
knights, walking two and two. Ipo-
cras and comfts were offered. One
noble servitor presented the golden
spice plate, a second the cups, while
a third of lower rank filled the cups

The Northern Pacific will soon
start hauling the logs belonging to
Akley & Sprague, which are along
their route. All the arrangements
have been made and as soon as the
necessary equipments can be pro-
cured the logging trains will start
running. There are about ten mill

will be sawed at the South Shore
mill in this city This will insure a
steady run all summer. It will also
give employment to several crews d
men. This is one way in which the
Northern Pacific will help to liven
things up in Washburn the remainder
of the summer.

The Boys Long Dream.

How long does a dream last
Sometimes a dream seems to have
lasted several hours when really it
was not more than a second in
length.
A doctor was once sitting be-
side the bed of sick boy. He felt
the boys pulse without disturbing
him and waited for him to awaken.
After a few moments a sleigh pass
ed by on the street with ringing
bells. AS the first tones of the bells
reached the room the sleeper
aWoke.
Doctor" he said, 81 am so glad
that you awakened me, for / had a
terrible dream that lasted for sew
eral hours. | dreamed that [ was
sick and that my little brother Rob
came into the room with a string of
the most horrible sounding bells
and rang them in my ears I could
not move or speak to him. The
dream seemed to last for so long a
time, and / am so glad that you
awakened me-"
A ringing of those bells for one
second had caused all of that dream
and just at the waking moment.

Too Much Bathing.

According to the London Lancet
too much bathing is harmful, as it
tends to "maceration Of the super
fetal part of the epidernis, which
is too frequently removed and occa-
sions probably too rapid a prolfera-
ton Of the cells Of the malpighian
layer" In spite of this portentous
decision, however, it is safe to say
that the mad Englishman will con-
tinue to stalk through Europe with
his beloved tub, just as usual.

EYES Anple Tree.

A poisonous fruit, supposed to
have the mark Of Ewes teeth, grows
in Ceylon and the tree is called
Ewes apple tree" The fruit is of
an orange tint on the outside and
deep crimson within, and each apple
has the appearance of having had a
piece bitten out of it. This fact,
together with its poisonous quality,
led the Mohammedans to represent
it as the forbidden fruit of the gag
den of Eden.

a Bird That Sews.

The sewing or tailor bird of India
is little yellow creature not much
larger than ones thumb. To es-
cape falling q prey to snakes and
monkeys the tailor bird, travellers
say, picks up dead leaf and flies
up into high tree and, with fiber
for thread and its bill for a needle,
sews the leaf on to a green one
hanging from the tree, the sides De.
ing sewed up and an opening left as
the top. That a nest is swinging
in the tree no snake or monkey, or
even a man, would suspect.

THE DAYLIGHT is GONE,

Come, dearest, the daylight is gone,
The stars are unwilling to thee;
Come, wander, my loved one, alone.
If alone thou wouldst call it with me.
Let US go where the wild flowers bloom
Amid the soft dews of the night,
Where the orange dispels its perfume
And the rose speaks of love ans delight
Remember, love, must soon leave thee
To wander mid strangers alone;
At eve thy sweet smile Will not greet me
Nor thy gentle voice at morn.
But, oh, twill be sweet to remember
That though am far, far from thee.
IT'S the hand of fate only can sever
Thy lasting affection for me.

Unequal Eyes.

Unless you happen, says The Fam
lily Doctor, to be the one person out
of every fifteen who has eyes of
equal strength you are either left
eyed or right eyed. You also be-
long to the small minority Of one
out of every ten persons if your left
eye is stronger than your right. As
a rule, just as people are right hand
ed, they are right eyed. This is
probably due to the generally great
er use Of the organs of the right
side of the body.

THREE TALL STORIES.

Incidents With findings Contrary to

81 have got just $4,000 to spend
il building house," said the con-
filling man who had dropped into
the office Of the architect, "and l
want you to draw me the plans for
a good two story frame dwelling
that can be built fer that sum,
counting materials, work and ALL"
So the architect drew the plans
and specifications for a $4,000
house, and the man subsequently
built it for that sum, with $6.37 to
spare, which he spent in giving the
architect dinner at down town
restaurant.
A woman awoke in the middle of
the night with shrek.
"John," she cried to her husband,
"my sister Jane is dead! I know it !!
| have just had frightfully vivid
dream about her"
but her husband quoted her, and
presently she went to sleep, her
cheeks still wet with tears.
Then he noted the exact hour at
which his wife had had her dream.
The next day, as can be verified
by anybody who is skeptical, no mes
senger of any sort came with tele-
gram containing the sad news of
the death of her sister Jane, who,
at last accounts, was still alive and
well.

LIVED TO BE $40.
Native of Bengal who Attained Remark
able Loneevity.

able Longevity.
If Maffens, the historian of the In
dies, can be believed, one Niemens de
Cugna, a native Of Bengal, lived to the
astonishing age of $40 years. Although
the story is confirmed by Lopez Caste
guods, who, at the time of Cugna's
death, in 1856, was historiographer
royal Of Portugal, and although it is
altogether the best proved instance of
so great longevity, its correctness has
been somewhat doubted. But whether
or not Cugna or his friends mistook
the time of his birth by century or
two, there is no denying him the dis
tinctlon of the greatest age Of which
we have anything like reliable data.
He is described as a man Of great sim.
plicity Of habit, and Of very easy and
quiet manners; though wholly Hitter.
ate, he was possessed of q memory so
remarkable that he could recite the
minutest details relating to most of
even the daily events of two and half
centuries. He is said to have had
many wives during his long life, and 1t
is related that the color of his hair and
beard changed several times from
black to gray and from gray to black.
The next greatest instance of longev.
ity known to us is that of Peter Zoe
| tr0n, French peasant, whose death is
recorded on January 20, 1924, at the
! remarkable age of 1873 years. Imme
diately succeeding Zoctron is the in
stance OF Louisa Truxo. This person
was a negress Of Tuscomia, In South
| America, who, In October, 1TS0, had
reached the age of 175 years, and was
living in so good n degree of health
that she promised many years in ad-
dition.
However extraordinary these facts
family by the name Of Rovin, which
resided about 1870 in Tunirvax, in
France, furnished three particulars,
each Of which is without known par.
allel. 1. The combined ages of the
parents amounted to 33S years, the
father, John Rovin, being ia, and the
mother, Sarah, being 1854 2. They
had been married 147 years, and what
is nearly as extraordinary, they lived
throughout this long period in much
peace and contentment." 8. At the
! time Of their death they had three
children living, the youngest of whom
was 116 years.
England next enters the list and fur
nishes three remarkable instances OF
long life in Henry Jenkins, Thomas
Parr and Lady Acton. The first, ma
tive Of Yorkshire, lived to the age of
100 years, and once gave evidence in
court of justice on a circumstance
which had happened 140 years before.
In his time three queens and one king
were beheaded, a Spanish and a Scot
tish king were seated on the throne of
England, and a score of revolutions
had spent their fury and wrought their
effects. jenkins died in 1870 at Aller-
