Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that woman
Of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more OF the
wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her cat up In
her parlor-the parlor is directly below
the bathroom-and into the basin OF
the defective washstand she poured a
vial of the oil of valerian. Cats are ex-
cessively fond Of the odor Of valerian.
A cat would rather inhale this Odor
than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's
cat after 1t had been In the parlor a
few minutes began to pur. Purring, 1t
crossed the room. 1t settled itself on
the floor with its face to one spot on
the wall, and here its mistress found It
when she came downstairs. its nose
glued to the spot, shifting and purring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough, the leak was
found. Here the valerian had trtckled
through, imparting its intoxicating
odor to the cat.-Philadelphia Record.

Freight Tariffs.

There are some few people
here who believe. that there is
only one way to make the rail-
roads believe we are in earnest in
an attempt to secure lower freight
tariffs.
Their way is to bring suit be-
fore the Inter State Commerce
Commission.
Henry Rhone has submitted such
proposition before the Chamber
OF Commerce. But it is improb-
able that the board of directors
of that body will take any action
upon Mr.. Rhone's suggestion,
That gentleman has gone so far
as to draw up papers to begin
the suit, but he is met with
quiet smile of disbelief over the
efficacy OF his plan of action.
When a man can travel way up
in the upper part of the peninsu-
la OF Idaho. for less money than
he can come to Grand junction,
it does look as if some measures
should be adopted to secure
amelioration.
The plan of Mr.. Rhone may be
a poor one, but no one suggests
a better one. We certainly don't
want any more committees to go
tc Denver, as that sort of action
toward securing freight reduc.
tions is simply farce. We have
had enough of that plan of pro-
cedure. Some one should pro-
pose a better plan than Mr..
Rhone's, if his is not looked up
on with favor,
The Chamber of Commerce is
proposing to spend a thousand or
twelve hundred dollars in adver-
tising the Grand valley. a portion
of that sum would cover the ex.
penses Of presenting our griefs
over the freight question to the
Inter State Commerce Commits
sion. What is the use of spend
ing money to invite people into
country. when they can get al
most any other place in western
America for considerable small
er passenger or freight tariff than
they can be landed in Grand
Junction.
Something should be done, if
others won't lead who can. Let
some one who will.

Riches Go For Candy.

Candy and confectionery to the
amount of sl0O,o00,OOO are sold in
the American home market every year,
aud to this total of manufacture New
York contributes 10000, 900 or one
fifth. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and Illinois are the three other States
which contribute largely to the total,
which is constantly increasing for
three reasons
Thesc are the lower prices Of sugar
and syrup, the superior excellence Of
American manufacture which has
made this country independent Of
foreign imports in this line, and the
national taste for sugar and for all
articles Of manufacture into which
sugar enters as tho chief ingredient. i;
The whole foreign importation Of
confectionery to this country, which
was formerly considerable trade,
was less than $500 last year. and
the home consumption has increased
correspondingly.
1t is well.known fact that sugar
in the form of candy or sweets is a
substitute for alcohol. Most all abb
stainers from the use Of alcohol in
any. form are candy eaters, as vegeta-
rians almost universally are as we'll.
The man who ceases to drink de-
velops an uncommon fcndness for
candy.
The candy eater who develops q
partiality for vino or spirits, or even
beer. which contains much saccharine
matter. is seen to diminish his pur-
chases Of candy. It is in temperance
localities that the largest amount OF
candy is eaten, and the largest patrons
of candy stores everywhere are, of
course, women-and especially young
women and children.
The candy making interest Of the
United States, now centering in and
about New York, where there are
nearly 900 candy-making establish
ments, shows steady and constant in
crease, and it is noticeable fact that
in localities in which foreign. born
residents are numerous there is less
candy eaten than in those neighbor.

Law of Fifty and Sixty.

Speaking. Of pistol to.ers 10 some
Of the States Of the South said -
man from Tennessee. reminds me of
q jurist famed in the history of the
western part Of my State because Of
an arbitrary rule laid down by him,
which has been since accepted by all
the Judges who followed him. It
now has all the force Of Law promul.
gated by the supreme law-makipg
power Of the State. Fifty and sixty
as they call it, is law in West Ten
ressee, and has beer law in t. at re-
gion since the days of John Harrigau,
who was for some time Judge of the
Criminal Court in Shelby County.
"Judge Harrigan made up his mind
to break up the habit Of carrying pis-
tolls. To do this he established the
rule of fining every man caught with a
pistol on his person $50 and sending
him to the county work house for six
ty days. During his whole admins
tration he never departed from this
rule. Every man caught with pis-
tol, no matter who he was, was fined
$50 and sent to the work house for
sixty days. He had to serve the six-
ty days at hard labor: too. Harrigau
would not turn him out. There was
no power that could get him out. AS
result of the enforcement of this rule
pistol-toting showed vast decrease
in that section.
II recall one case where a promi-
nent, well-to-do young man Of Arkan-
sas was arrested for carrying'a pistol.
He was given fifty and sixty The
Governor of Arkansas, the two United
States Senators, Congressman and
other influential men tried to get the
Judge to temper the judgment, but he
would not do it. Breaking rule de-
stroys it,, he said, and he stuck to it..
Some time afterward young man
walked up to Judge Harrigan in the
rotunda Of q Memphis hotel. Isn't
this Judge Harrigan?' said the young
man. No, sir, said the Judge, I
am John Harrigan.' But you are
tn, criminal court Judge, aren't ;ou?'
persisted the young man. 4 am when
on the benoh,' said the Judge, but
here and elsewhere out of the Court
room I am John Harrigan.' He had
recognized the young mau from the
beginning. BY the way, judge
said the young man directly, while
they were talking across table, that
fifty and sixty rule Of yours is all
right, for it broke me Of very bad
habit, that of carrying pistol every
where I went The same thing might
have been said by many young men
who had been broken Of the same habit
in the same way. New Orleans
