Guard Against Impurities.

kets' OF Paris under strict municipal control en-
aoles the city authorities not only carefully to
Watch the condition and quality OF the food ma
teIlals furnished TO the 27oo inhabitants OF that
cV Dut to collect accurate statistics of the relative
quaity OF each kind Of material sold from year
70 year and its wholesale market value. as distrib-
uted TO retailers and consumers throughout the
city.
1t is estimated that about 80 per cent OF all the
tooa products brought into Paris passes through
the "halles." The rest is brought TO the city by
the greengrocers and small market who have
their own gardens and other sources Of supply in
the country and bring their offerings into Paris in
their own carts, which pass the gates during the
night and early morning
The statistics for 1905 have just been made pub
lie, and show that there were sold during the year
IN the Paris 'hales' these quantities Of food the
values OF course including each class the octroi
tax which is assessed all edible products which
enter the city: Meats. 0.ss6 metric tons. valued
at Sl5.6l7,242 poultry and game 2s.s41 tons. s10,-

cheese, 1891 tons. 81 9s6,059.
IIeSe products were almost exclusively Of French
or canned or salted meats. the last three of which
are the only articles Of general consumption, Of
which the United States furnishes a part OF the
Erench supply. The chief characteristic of the
Paris markets is the abundance and excellence of
toeIr vegetables and small fruits. which are mainly
grown IN the neighborhood of the city upon gar
dens, orchards and truck farms which are enriched
with sewage and artificial fertilizers and worked
up 10 the highest standard OF cultivation.

SHEEP DISPLACE CATTLE.
South Dakota RGnchme1e Find For
mer More Profitable.

Pierre, S D. July q CSpeciaD. Sheep are crowd
ing cattle off the ranges of South Dakota because
the price Of wool has been constantly going and
the price Of cattle on the hoof is at point where
there is much more money in raising sheep. both
for wool and stock. For the last three years the
stock interests in South Dakota have been gradu-
ally changing from cattle 10 sheep. Many men
who formerly owned vast herds of cattle have
turned their attention to sheep some Of them hav-
ing gone far as to relinquish all their cattle
holdings
This is shown by reports made to the State
Agricultural College from the cities which were
formerly great cattle shipping points From
Belle Fourche last year $4,000 pounds Of wool was
shipped and it is estimated that the crop. which
will go out from that market during the next month
will not be less than 100000 pounds. This is not
the entire crop Of Butte County, as considerable
wool is shipped from Evarts. s. D.. and from
other points. The amount of Butte County wool
shipped from other points viii approximate 259OOO
pounds, making a total crop from one South Da-
kota county this year 100000 pounds.
Not fewer than 10000 on the ranges in
Butte County. and within the next thirty days not
less than $3OoOoO will be paid TO sheep men OF the
The average price Of wool this year has been %
cents, an increase Of two cents pound over the
price last year. One sheep man, who had 10000
head on a ranch southwest of here, marketed
100000 pounds, for which he received 241a cents a
pound. Prices have been good this year. Feeding
lambs will bring from 81 $2 50 this fall and few
punches of ewes have been sold at Sc head.

TH0RIUM CONVENTION BLuNDERED
Big Cut in Prices of Gas Mantle Material
Caused Competition.

In January last the ''thorium convention" Of
Germans decided 20 Kill all competition in thorium
nitrate by suddenly dropping the selling price TO
IS 4S per kilogram 22 pounds), less per cent dis
count. Incandesceut gas mantles az present con-
sist OF about 90 per cent thorium and 1 per cent

S41S per klogram, but it dropped in price year by
year, being maintained during the period from May.
1904 TO January last. however. at So 81 per kilo-
gram. This last sudden drop spread CONSERVATION
throughout the gas mantle manufacturing trade.
The result has been disastrous TO the small thOrium
works outside the combination, which had large
stocks Of high priced material on hand. Some OF
them suspended operations and others went bank
rupt. and the thorium convention was left COM
pletely master Of the situation.
In this sense, the action OF the convention has
been successful one, judged from trade stand
point But it is believed that it made great blum

PONY RIDES ON TROLLEY CAR.
Owner Takes II on His Lap in Spite of Con-
dUctor's Protest.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

DIiddletown Conn. July 21.-Barnaby Jessup,
a gypsy fortune teller. decided to leave town
to-day, so he picked up in his arms a live pony,
his only property, boarded trolley car and
rode to the dock TO catch the boat for New
York. The pony was a stout. lively fellow. which
the gypsy made use of in his fortune telling.
and if Jessup had not been very strong man
he could not have managed the animal in the
motherly manner he did.
The conductor Of the car demurred when he
saw the gypsy board the car with the creature
in his arms saying they did not carry livestock.
but the gypsy argued that the pony had as much
right there as the bundles the ladies had on their
laps The conductor allowed the little pony TO
finish his ride. although he charged a Scent
fare for him, as the gypsy admitted that he
was over five years old.
