The city of Montreal lately passed
law to improve its bread supply.
All Montreal loaves hereafter must
be stamped with number indicating
their weight and with the initials Of
the baker, reports the New York
Sun.
A $40 fine and two months impris-
onment are the alternative penalties
provided for each violation, and all
bread not fulfilling requirements is
to be seized. Besides this it is pro-
vided also under heavy penalties that
all rooms for the manufacture OF
food products shall be at least eight
feet high and foored with cement,
tiles or wood properly saturated
with ,inseed oil.
The walls and ceilings must be
whitewashed at least once in siN
months, and no animals, except cats,
shall be allowed in any rooms used
for the manufacture or storage OF
bread or pastry.

A New York bootblack painfully real

in logical argument and elegant
phrase, says the Rochester Democrat

by a few hundred dollars, he played

he tried the same game and lost all
his winnings, as well as his Original
capital. Being not altogether friend

money to buy new bootblacking out

footwear and gathering in nickels
and dimes. If he keeps at it he will

a modest depositor in some good saw

and it was rather harsh, but it nav

APPENDICITIS is NOT NEW.

"Why is it," asked a man of ply

there was formerly nothing Of the kind
in existence?" according to the Chi
cago Chronicle.
"My young friend" the doctor an

HAND KISSING LEAGUE.
An Extrnordinary Organization Re-
Gently Formed by PRrisias
ENUuisitcs.

Some Parasian eXquisites of 10th
sexes have just formed the hand
kissing league" Men belonging TO it
vow never TO shake, or even squeeze,
n woman's hand In lieu of that form
of salute they imprint light kiss on
her fingers OF her wrist. Women be-
longing to the league bind themselves
to cut any man refusing to discard
what our neighbors call "le shake
hand" in favor of the dainty and
daintily named ''lc baise-main."
The new association, reports Lon
don paper, is framing a code of hand
kissing. This will define various
forms of -baise-main," and will
specify under what particular circum-
stances each is to be employed. 1t is
already decided that the slight touch
ing of the tips of two fingers of a
feminine hand by mans lips is the
most frigid form of the greeting,
while the kiss on the wrist is n privi-
lege of intimacy.
Intermediate usages are the oscula-
tory salute on the knuckles, on the
back. and on the palm of the hand.
The last named form, which is some.
what Of an innovation, obviously re-
quires the exercise OF dexterity by
the lady if she does not want to look
awkward during the performance.

Under the auspices of the San Fran.

tor women has been erected and the
members of the organization are con

in existence since 1884 and was
formed for the purpose of aiding

four dollars to six dollars. The board
is $12 per month. The rooms are well

MECHANICAL STOKING.
Labor Saving Machinery Taking the
Place Of Many Men In shops
and FOun dries.

The small number of men to be seen
in a modern large machine works or
steel mill, as compared with an old
time shop of similar importance. is u
matter which has been frequent
occasion for comment, and this is
doubtless due to the very general use
of labor-saving machinery, says the
Engineerin Magazine. The cost OF
production in industrial establish
ments is made up Of the costs of raw
terest, Of which the largest single item
usually is the wages cost. One way by
which this item may be reduced is by
the installment of mechanical st okers.
In the great majority Of steam plants
the coal is wheeled to the boiler room
by hand, it is fired by hand, and the
ashes are removed by hand. making.
in plants Of 1000 boiler horsepower
or over, a wages cost of some consid-
erable amount.
The mechanical stoker may be de-
fined as system of great bars, dump
ing bars, coal feeders and automatic
devices to feed fuel an6ar' rol its
combustion, and subsequently to drop
the ashes and unburnt coal. That il
is not in any sense new invention
is to be learned from the fact that
James Watt took out patent in 1855
for such n device. The mechanical
stoker is of English origin, though it
has been very thoroughly developed in
the United States to suit the local fuels
and boiler furnace conditions.

The COST OF IRRIGATION.
Immense sums Expended by Eng.
land In Africa and India
for That Purpose.

Those who look forward to the con-
troll of the great rivers of America and
the use of funds supplied by the gov
ernment for that purpose point to the
fact that England has spent about
$50, ,0O0, 900 on the new Nile dams and
other works for controlling the great
Egyptian river and making certain
the crops of the valley below, and that
she has invested the sum of $500, ,000, 900

The photograph was secured for use
on the face of medal that was issued
at one of the government mints at that
time. Mr.. Prince says that he does not
think that Gen. Grant wore his whis-
kers in the manner shown in the phi oto-
graph for more than a few weeks.
He shaved off his mustache and chin
whiskers because he was then suffering
from an irritation of the skin. Mrs.
Grant disliked his appearance in the
sideboards so much that the general
soon thereafter allowed his full beard
to grow again.
