Dartmouth Castle Spoon.

Dartmouth Castle was built in ff9s.
and for years has been partial ruin.
Here some years ago came the British
training ship britannia, having on
board, among many other young naval
cadets. the two elder sons of the Prince
of Wales. Each year the cadets of
TINS training ship, working under the
direction of the Government. spend sew
eral months in excavating old ruins or
castles in England. The result of these
labors in Dartmouth Castle was a LOT
of interesting relics. principally old sill
Yer in various forms. Most of it was
placed In the public museum at Dart
mouth and is now on exhibition there.
But much of what was found in these
excavations never reached the museum.
but came into the possession of private
individuals. In Miss Sadler's quest for
spoons in this quiet little town a keeper
OF the museum was able to supply. her
with two spoons from the two castles
on either side of the river The earliest
age that can be attributed to the spoons
is 1l9s- On the other hand there is no
reason TO suppose that they were not
both made in the early part of the last
decade of that century. The Kingwere
spoon is of the plainest design and is a
small egg spoon with nothing partic-
ular to recommend il except its per-
fectly symmetrical lines and great
antiquity.
The Dartmouth spoon, on the con-
trary, is marvel of workmanship. The
large almost fiat bowl holds the figure
of little girl in the quaint dress and
costume of the twelfth century. The
oid-fashioned hat sports a feather cock
ade and the little child is staggering
along with heavy bucket in either
hand. The handle is the famous rope
pattern peculiar to the same century
Above all is q two-masted ship under
full sail, which is patterned exactly
after the models of the fleet which as
sembled at Dartmoutliiin 1870 to carry
Crusaders to the Holy Land. This am

SLAUGHTER OF TNNOCENTs.
More Than Million Infants Slain E
 PafnI<IIlers.

More Than q Million Infants Slain By
 Painl<IIlers.
 Washington. Feb. That more than million infants had been sacri- feed to the various connections known as soothing syrups and pafnkilIers, and ever twice that number killed by im- pure milk, was the declaration made last night by Professor Fl. w. Wiley, chief of the chemistry bureau of the department of agriculture.
 "We do not know anything about the milk we have left at our homes, or the conditions under which it is pro- duced,' he added. There are a thou sand and one possibilities which might have combined to make that which na- ture intended for food the most virile poisen that chemistry can produce.
 T have found that the foods we daily consume are so fraught with germ life of a harmful nature that am almost afraid to go to the table. The butter is painted-there is little other to be found anywhere. Canned goods are kept for years and sold for the genuine article. I speak particu- larIy of the condensed milk. If we know nothing of the fresh milk we get, surely our knowledge is more limited in the product that is put in cans.
 ''The Lord intended us to resort to cans only to tide us over one season. until green fruits could be had again, but the canneries don't know this. There is no law requiring them to stamp the date upon their goods. If they did it would kill the sale

 Washington, Feb. 7.--Secretary Poh- anarte today recommended to the Pres ident the pardon of Midshipman Minor Mertwether, Jr., convicted of hazing and sentenced to dismissal from the Naval Academy. l.
 The recommendation says there IS room for reasonable doubt as 10 whether the acts were committed with criminal intentions and that the ac- cused stood on his head and performed various other nonsensical acts In the nresence of the same midshipmen whom he is accused of hazlng. A recommen- dation for clemency was appended by inc court to It's sentence of dismissal.
 No further action will be taken by the Navy Department until the Presi- dent reaches a decision as to whether Meriwether shall be pardoned.
