Every houseI1eeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in y pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all Injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the Annoyance of the iroa

Slavery in Massachusetts.

In 1854 there were nearly 45U slaves
In Essex County, Massachusetts, alone.
The present constitution of Massachu-
sets was established in 1850. The first
article Of the declaration Of rights as.
serts that all men are born free and
equal, and this was generally supposed
to have reference to slavery, but still
it was point on which all did not
agree. In 1871, however, at the court
In Worcester, an Indictment was found
against a white man for assaulting,
beating, and imprisoning black Bis
trial took place at the Supreme Judi
cial Court, 1888, ar the defense was
that the black nian was a slave, and
the beating, ct cetera, was the neces-
sary correction of his master. This
defense did not avail; the white man
was found guilty and fined, and this
decision was the death-warrant for
slavery in Massachusetts.

NJ. Bigourdan has been making ex-
periments in Paris on a system of
incorporated clocks, and proves that
such system can be practically oper-
ated and would be of considerable val

a system in which fifteen electric
clocks in different parts of the city are
connected with the observatory. But
the system is costly on account OF lay
ing the wires, and its use is limited.
The wave method is cheaper and more
practical. A main clock which op-
crates an electric contact with each
second works relay which sends cur
rent into the primary Of an induction
coil provided with an oscillator The
secondary thus gives an oscillatory dis
charge for very short time, which
is regular for each second. By using

receiving clocks. Two kinds OF re-
ceivers are used. The simplest Is q

an ordinary wireless telegraph re-
ceiver. Better signals are formed by
using a chronograph band and pen to
replace the ordinary Morse band. With
this apparatus, which unrolls one cen
timeter of band second, the time can
be read within 0:02 second. The ex-
periments were made at IL miles dis
lance, and this could easily be In
creased. To number the seconds the
emissions would occur at the zero Sec
ond of each minute, and an Interrupt
ton could be made at intervals Of ten
seconds. Such a system would be

dustrial establishments, watchmakers
and other places where correct time is

CHILDREN AND CANDY.
London Physician Blames Sweets f

London Physician Blames Sweets for
Young Folks Deterioration.
In the course of a lecture delivered
in London recently Prof. Ogston said
that after many years of medical ex-
perience among children he was con-
vinced there were many in whom the
tendency to sugar gluttony had be-
come so strong in their infatuation
that it resembled the craving of a
drunkard for liquor, says the St.
James Gazette Such saccharomaniacs
showed early disappearance of the
teeth, and other grave troubles. He
thought future scientists would place
the evils of sugar gluttony on a pedes-
tai as conspicuous as the drink ques-
ton as causing deterioration of indi-
viduals and races.
The views expressed by the eminent
specialist, However sensational they
may appear, are amply borne out by
facts, and medical opinion generally
holds that the serious deterioration Of
children is directly attributable to the
great consumption of sweets and 10
the ingredients of which the bulk Of
these are compounded. A well-known
doctor said that pure sweets in them
selves, and taken moderately, would
not be seriously harmful. But confec-
tionery was made so cheap nowadays
that the poorest ingredients and many
dangerous chemicals had to be used.
One of the largest confectioners in
London revealed the methods EN-.
ployed in the manufacture Of cheap
sweets by the INSCRIPTIONS firms In
the east end of London, who do a
huge business in these goods at four
ounces penny.
There is lot Of aduteration in the
sweet trade, unfortunately, and,
strangely, it has never received proper
attention. Cochineal is used on very
large scale to color toffees and in the
making of several varieties of drops
Tons Of the fruit sweets are quite In.
nocent Of fruit and are colored by
chemicals. Chocolates are another line
which lends easily to adulteration, and
some vile substitutes for the pure
cocoa butter are In the market.
"Then these firms use cheap glucose,
which, as has been found over and
over again, contains arsenic or some
other poisonous matter, and slncs
brewers have fought shy of the ma
tcrial, huge quantities Of inferior glu-
cose have found their way to these
tack-stairs confectioners. Some CT
these people, too, make their tofsees
and sticjaw from treacle of the most
INJURIOUS kind, and much Of the burter
toffees and butter scotch sold at abo1n-
inably low prices contain more bad fat
grease than butter"

Chemisettes, fuckers, and under
sleeves of genuine old openwork or
other embroidery upon muslin are in
great demand. A chemisette furnished
recently by a Paris maker. for use
IN a taffeta frock, was valued at $500.
Some very pretty corset covers are
being made Of colored batiste and

and little full over the bust, with
tucks about the waist instead Of darts;
and they end, as all the newest covers
do, at the belt.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Health and Beauty Hints.
The afternoon nap is beneficial to
those who would gain flesh.
After the shampoo. if the hair is stiG
and dry, rub olive oil into the roots.
Perhaps the best of all morni--
petizers in the way of fruit is the
grapefruit.
Highly scented soaps are often In
furious. as the scent is added to con-
ceal rancid ingredients.
In dieting to reduce flesh drink no
liquids at meals and no water until an
hour at least after the meal.
| A glass of warm or hot milk taken
just before or Immediately after arts
ing will prove a flesh producer.
For enlarged pores the camels-hair
brush and constant rubbing with pure
soap is the quickest and surest cure.
A cupful of ordinary rock salt is an
Invaluable addition to the bath. 1t is
especially soothing to a person with
jaded nerves.
Hot water, if taken, cupful on ris
ing. and another when going to bed
will help to reduce the weight of a
stout person.
Thin people who wish TO gain flesh
should eat light lunch before retir.
ing: an empty stomach feeds upon the
flesh OF the body.
A bad figure and poor carriage are
often due to laziness. Walk with the
shoulders back, the chest elevated and
the hips back if good carriage is de
sired.
To help remove dandruf from the
scalp rub or massage every night with
the tips Of the fingers; this stimulates
thu scalp and helps to loosen the
dandruff.
For a rough skin lather the face
we'll with a good soap and drop or
two Of glycerin, rinse off and dust the
face with oatmeal, rinse again and
dry with soft towel.
The teeth are usually brushed
across; they should also be brushed
up and down, as this stroke will re-
move any foreign substance that the
cross stroke has missed.
Perspiring hands are a source of
great annoyance. Tincture Of bella
donna applied to the palms will lessen
the perspiration. This Is poisonous,
so IT cannot be freely used.
An economical and satisfactory
cream for the hands is composed Of
equal portions Of honey, mutton tai
low (clariied) and lemon juice, melted
together until Of the consistency Of
cream.

not to tell the stranger where they

whence he had come: so they inquired
of him where he had come from, and
