Food Adulteratlon.

I'm a pure food case that was taken
up from Philadelphia to the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, says Public
Policy, "the plea was made that the
law is not violated unless the quantity
of foreign substance in a food staple
is sufficient to injure health. The SUI
preme Court decision is that any pois-
onous ingredient, whether in quantity
to iniure health or not is a violation
of the statute. The Cry goes up that
this will affect 20 per cent OF the stock
of..the average dealer. If one-tifth or
the merchandise sold for food contains
poisonous ingredients there is a
startling necessity for active measures.
The stupid plea that the poison IS
not enough in any one article to hurt
the consumer indicates that the vendor
never gives enough thought to any as
pect of the question but the pursuit OF
the nimble dime and nickle to learn
the effect of the cumulative poisoning.
Certainly when we hear from the trade
itself that the practice of mixing pois--
onous food has attained 20 per cent
prevalence. it is time for strenuous
Impressions aimed with the most
igor at the manufacturers OF such

GIRL MEssENGERS QUIT
Striking Boys Take Dispatches
From Their Stockings.

Striking Boys Take Dispatches
From Their Stockings.
Chicago Aug. 24.-The Inter
Ocean saws the striking messenger
bows in this city have changed their
chiyalrous attitude, and now open
warfare is practiced on the girls who
yentured to take the strikers places.
They beset the girl who ventured out
side an office building with message
and deprived her forcibly of the dis
patch before a policeman could come
to her aid.
A new subterfuge adopted by the
telegraph company which would ena-
BILE the girls to escape with their mes
sages from the search to which they
were invariably subjected by their
bow captors, awaited nothing, and
determined conclusively that the boys
have indeed lost all respect for the
sex of the usurpers in their desire
to win the strike.
This subterfuge was nothing less
than the secretion of messages by the
girls in their stockings. The first girl
to take this means of outwittlng a
searching party of strikers succeeded.
The second, a stylish brunette of the
age of 90 or thereabouts, when captur-
ed on the outskirts of the city, lost
three dispatches. Her dainty hosiery
was almost torn to pieces.
Soon after such extreme measures on
the part of the messenger boy search
ing parties had several times been
carried into execution, almost every
girl employed by the company at de-
liyering messages outside OF otflce
buildings resigned her position. The
greater number ranged from Is to 20
wears of age, and they explained that
they could not afford to be subjected
to such indignities.
1T is also embarrassing, added a
blonde messenger girl in blue walk
ing skirt, ''to deliver message secret
ed in that way to gentleman. L had
to ask one to turn his back for min
ute. and l thought | would faint when

Decline of the Apron.

It is about forty years since the
popularity of the apron began to wane.
At that time no woman's wardrobe
was complete without an assortment
of aprons for all sorts of occasions
A black silk apron was the acme OF
elegance and propriety, and any non
descript gown could, by the addition
of the black silk apron, trimmed
with a few rows Of balck velvet rib
bon, be dignitied to the utter salts.
faction of the wearer.
An apron had rather wide field OF
usefulness when you consider that IL
not only preserved and embellished
new gown, but it also concealed the
defects and added dignity to an old
one. An apron was always en- regle.
The best dress was kept clean by
its use, and the daintiness OF 1T
represented all the feminine traits. 1t
was the regular banner of the home. To

Childish tears were dried with it. The
little boys used its strings for reins,
and the little girls played princess
and trailed it's ample folds behind
them, real ladies in waiting to an
imaginary queen.
Those were ante-new woman days;
knittings ana needlework were femi-
nine occupations 1t was previous to
the day Of higher education for
women. 1t may sound far fetched to
say that home sentiment waned with
the decline of the apron. The latter
may not have been the cause, but 1T
certainly kept pace with it. l have
the written statement OF man to the
effect that a snow white apron tied
neatly about trim waist had power
to attack the masculine heart at its

REV. SAM SMALL DRUNK
Before a Vermont Audience Gathered

Before a Vermont Audience Gathered
to Hear Temperance Lecture.
Brattleboro, VT, Aug. 26 The col
lapse of Rev. Sam Small, of Georgia,
the well-known temperance lecturer,
who was to speak for the no-license
local option party here last night, was
due, according to Rev. Small's own ad-
mission today, to intoxication. Mr..
Small says:
II was drunk. 1 have no excuse to
offer"
Mr. Small has been stamping Yer
mont in the interest of Percival w.
Clement, independent Republican can
didate for Governor, and the Local OPP
ton License League.
The presiding officer of the rally was
Col. G.. A. Miles, classmate OF Presi-
dent Eliot, of Harvard, and leading
citizen of the town. Until he presented
Mr.. Small there was no indication OF the
Southerner's coming collapse. When
the evangelist arose it was seen at once
that something was the matter with
him. He spoke incoherently and stag
gered about the platform.
At first the audience thought he was
actng a part for purpose, but when
the purpose did not appear people be-
gan to leave the hall After time Col
Miles took Mr.. Small by the arm and
led him off the stage.

Plucklng Ostrich Feathers.
(Scientihic American.)

News comes from California that os-
trlch farming is now a paying indus
try. About this season OF the year
many people from Los Angles go out
to the farms at South Pasadena to
watch the plucking of the feathers.
To many in the East the plucking OF
ostrich feathers is probably associated
with violent laying on of hands and
a tying down of the birds. AS a mat
ter of fact, the gathering of the teath-
ers is very delicate task.
When the time comes a man carefully
examines the flock. and picks out
those birds whose feathers are rlpen-
ing, groups them in dozens, and pens
them in, so that they cannot run about
and injure their beautiful plumage
When the plucking time comes, the
bird is enticed into narrow, dark
passageway. The entrances are then
closed and the birds thus imprisoned.
A cloth bag is thrown over the crea-
lures head. Then the plucking be-
gins. Three men, perched upon plat
forms without the pen, reach over the
board inclos ure and with curious scis
sor-like appliances pluck off the feath-
ers. Whatever wounds bird may re-
ceive are Immediately dressed. The
tail feathers are pulled and not cut,
simply because they reproduce better
than other feathers of the ostrich.
While the plucking is in progress the
ostrich keeps up dismal roaring.
Were it not for the stanch construction
of the pen the creature would kick the
board into splinters.
The first plucking is the most valua-
BILE. For that reason the older ostrich
es are kept simply as breeders.
How successful Is the ostrich indus
try in Southern California may. be
Qauged from the fact that about three
quarters of a million dollars are now
invested in it, and the annual output
of feathers is worth about 800, GOO.

LOVE ME LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG

IAN old poem, author unknown
Love me little, love me long!
Is the burden of my song.
Love that is too hot and strong
Burnuth soon to waste.
Still would not have thee cold
Not too backward, nor too bold;
Love that lasteth till tits old
Fadeth not in haste
Love me little, love me long!
Is the burden OF my song.
If thou lowest me too much
Twill not prove as true touch;
Love me little more than such
For | fear the end.
I'm with little well content,
And little from thee sent
Is enough, with true intent
To be steadfast, friend.
Say thou lowest me. while you live
to thee my love will give,
Never dreaming to deceive
While that life endures:
Nav, and after death, in sooth,
| to thee will keep my truth,
AS now when in my May of youth;
This my love assures.
Constant love is moderate ever,
And it will through life persevere,
Give me that with true endeavor-
| will it restore.
A suit of durance let it be,
For all weathers-that for me
For the land or for the sea;
Lasting evermore.
Winters cold and summers heat,
Autumn's tempest on it beat;
1t can never know defeat,
Never can REBEL
Such the love that I would gain,
Such the love, | tell thee plain,
Thou must give, or WOO in vain;
So to thee-farewell!
