EASTER CANDY BASKETS.
Prices Now Range as High as 4 for the
Handsome Ones.

The candy stores these days furnish evil
dence Of American prosperity. AL Of them
Of the better class are pretty we'll stocked
with gorgeous boxes and baskets. Easter
gifts Of candy, confectioners say, are be-
coming more popular every year. In the
old days men were content to have the
candy go in simple pasteboard boxes, but
now many select receptacles that cost sew
eral times the price paid for the contents.
These baskets and boxes are fashioned
10 elaborate styles. Beribboned and SPAN
gled, and frequently hand painted, it lie not
surprising that often a man pays $40 or
$50 for one. Such affairs usually hold five
pounds Of candy.
" import the most costly of the boxes
and baskets" said a dealer in oonfec-
toners supplies. Germany. France and
England send us the bulk Of them, but
lately Japan has come into the game. and
now we get quite a number from there. I
understand the Japs are cutting into Ger
many's trade with us in this line consider
ably. About IS is a fair average price for
these fancy boxes and baskets, but |
handle quite a lot that sell as high as $50
or $40 apiece.
Americans are now beginning to COM
pete with the foreigners in turning out these
goods. This is particularly the case with
the fancy boxes. So far the Europeans
nave a monopoly Of the baskets. Most of
the material for the fancy boxes comes from
the other side. American manufacturers
import the p~asteboard and the painted and
ornamented paper in bulk. The duty is IS
per cent, but on finished boxes it is IS per
cent.
Besides the boxes and baskets we have
other candy holding novelties for the Easter
season. Eggs and rabbits will always be
almost as gorgeous at the boxes and bas-
kete. Here's one covered with silk and

His senses all appeared normal. and there

The theory advanced by Prof. Schuster to
account for this peculiar condition lie, that
the connection between the Dyes and that
particular portion of the brain concerned in
some manner, and until that connection is
restored, the condition will continue. From
what he has seen Of the patient, he con-
siders it extremely doubtful whether this
important junction will eve be effected.

Some Medical Fauacies.

A do0tor was pointing out medical fall
lacies-the wrong ideas about things medical
that many people hold.
One fallacy," he said, lis that beef tea

which certain pleasant aud exhilarating
meat salts are dissolved. You would starve
to death on beef tea. the same as on whiskey

Another fallacv is that alcohol whiskey

A third fallacy is that one egg contains
as much nourishment as a pound Of meat
Sick people without appetite think COM
plscently that II they take an egg or two a
day they are doing well As a matter Of fact,
they are doing anything but well They
must remember, II thev are substituting eggs
for meat. that eight eggs. nor one, are re-

II AM ELIJAH"
SWEARS DOW|E
Long He Fought the
Thought but Yielded
AT Last

Chicago. June 16.--Dr. Alexander
Dowie was on the witness stand in
the federal court in the Zion City con-
troversy today and was asked during
the cross examination II he is Elijah
the Restorer."
Il have always been," he replied.
When asked when he first became
conscious Of the fact he said It came
to him gradually. At first he resented
the revelation and became angered
when any one suggested 1t.
The first time 1t came to his atten-
tion he was in Melbourne or Sidney
while at the head Of Bible society.
One Of his deacons told him that he
(Dowie) had message from God.
Said the deacon:
Il want to tell you you are Elijah"
Dowie says he remembers he repeat
ed It three times. After the meeting
another member also told him he was
Elijah.
He resisted the idea for years but
finally came to see they were right.
A number Of alienists were In the
court while Dowie testified.

Rural Guards to Cast
Fortunes With the
Peasants

st. Petersburg. June 16.-The grav-
ity Of the general situation grows
hourly. The bOurses at st. Peters,
burg and Moscow are in a panicky
condition. and the social democrats
and the social revolutionists are con-
sidering parliament as negligible
quantity and are pushing the cam
paign for an armed uprising with in
creased vigor.
There are demonstrations daily in
the streets of Moscow in favor OF a
general strike with which the prole-
tariat are trying to precipitate con-
fiict.
The dissatisfaction among the work.
men has reached the boiling point and
patrols are again in force in the in
dustrial centers. In the country the
rural guards are throwing in their lot
with the peasants. and are refusing to
protect the landlords.
The progress Of the revolutionary
propaganda in the army Is seriously
alarming the government and to add
to the excitement comes the news Of
the Bialystok massacres.
While the reports confiict az to the
immediate responsibility Of the out
break the authorities cannot escape
the responsibility for provocative
black hundred telegrams which Il
caused to be circulated through Rus
III, appealing to the worst passion OF
the mob against the Jews as enemies
Of the country.
The government il undoubtedly
frightened at what has occurred.
