that white pepper in the ripening pro cess becomes merely spoiled black pep per.
 Add to the fact of the loss of flavor and fragrance by ripening the eXtrac- tive effect of the water or chemicals used and it is not necessary to refer to the unspeakable native habits some times resorted to in making white pep per. About the only fit place I know of for the average white pepper is with an over ripe egg.
 "The French get most of their pep per from the Malabar region, the Eng fish from Singapore the Dutch from Sumatra and Java while the Germans and the Americans draw their supplies from all these sources. A pepper eX- pert ought to be able to tell blindfolded whether he is eating his pepper at first-class table in France, England or Holland. In France he will note the fragrance, in England a peculiar pun gency, both of which are inferior in Holland.
 Standing among the planters, Eng fish, Malay and Chinese, in the pepper pit at Singapore, when pepper was at it's lowest point for years before or since, overheard a fat Chnaman say to the bidder, Good enough for American market
 Some months after, at the pepper exchange in London, l saw sample put up that was so vile that the brokers seemed ashamed to take a sec | NN1- IL s4 hut 1 down, at the lowest price that l ever heard named-seyeral thousand bags of it-for an American account.
 Black pepper is a misnomer any way The French term gray better Why, in some parts of the United States light weight black pepper is pol ished up with lamp black to suit the common idea of black pepper.
 q found the finest pepper in the world produced on a small patch of a plantation in Siam, but money could Inot buy hundred pounds of 1t
 If peppers that are unfit for the hu- man stomach were excluded by law from the United States bargain hunters would get better pepper, though they would have to pay more.
 Tt isn't altogether adulteration which makes poor pepper, Some kinds are mproved-because they become less irritatingif mixed with a little good wheat middlngs.
 Poor stuff is not used in grinding high priced spices, only in cheap truck to meet a demand from the smart aleck consumer, who cheats himself by buy ing five pounds of cheap and mast! spoce at twenty-five cents per pound when one pound at seyenty-five cent would flavor five times as much foe and flavor it better.
 "The lesson to the consumer is tt learn the brands and trade marks o
 reputable manufacturers. Tell the mai behind the counter that yoN want tn least spice for the most money-not tho most spice for the least money AnC finally, never buy bulk spices"

HOW HE KNEW.

One morning two young women en- tered tine Saltville grocery and after some discussion bought a pound of dates, two pounds of crackers.
 Stopping at Miss Gray's?" inquired the clerk, as he tied up the bundles.
 "Yes," said one of the young women, with evident surprise
 Came about yesterday forenoon?" said the clerk.
 How did you know?" asked the young woman curiously.
 "Um. Well, l can most generally tell" said the clerk, without glancing at the object of his mind. as he twitched a knot in the spring. You see, it's pretty drizzly and muddy to- day, and l knew there wouldn't any body's boarders but Miss Gray's feel the need of coming out here such weather, and long as you didn't come till to-day I knew for sure you couldn't have been here more'n one day.

 New Haven Thenter.

The New Haven theater was crowd ed again last night to see George Sid ney and his splendid company in the new play Busy Izzy's Vacation" This is one of the most amusing, prettiest, speediest sort of musical comedy on the road to-day. MT. Sidney, with the per mission of his authors and collabora- teurs, calls it Rest Cure" Nobody rests in it or with it, but that does not matter. Sidney is tremendously popu- lar and deservedly so. He is neither coarse nor offensive and his industrl- ous little Hebrew trouble maker is a joy In the long cast there are half a dozen capital actors, and dozens of girls who are perfectly beautiful There has not been a chorus of such pro- nounced beauty here in many a day The performance will be repeated again to-day matinee and night.

SAM BERNARD IN THE ROLLICK-
 ING GIRL"

With the coming of Sam Bernard to most seven months there, so it is fair with laughter and song. New York theatergoers were 10th to let MT. Der the Hyperion that playhouse will abound hard leave, even after a run of al to assume that the engagement at the Hyperion Friday, April 13 will prove only too short for those who want to be amused by clean fun and good mu- sic.
 In "The Rollicking Girl MT. Bernard has a role that of Schmaltz, the theat- rical wig -maker-that gives him a great opportunity for comedy work of a high order. Schmaltz is the hero of many adventures, more or less grave, but all ways ending gaily. It is he who makes leading lady of Iona (Hattie Will liams), the runaway girl, and it is on his blessing of her at the marriage feast that the final curtain falls.
 Miss Williams, handsome and dash ing, is the "girI.," and she ably sec- onds Bernard in keeping the fun at d fast and furious rate, besides contrib uting largely to the musical part of the entertainment Miss Williams has four songs that are sure to repeat here the popularity achieved in New York.

A srREr SIGN HINT

Minor and mutifold things, like street signs, can be made objects of are however simple their character, Care may easily be had to give them pro- portions an agreeable color compatible with eligibility and good lettering In the case of wayside guide boards Uieer is yet further opportunity to make them attractive in design In Boston, when street signs stand detached from buildings, pleasant decorative effect is given by some simple wrought iron scrollwork in the angle between board and post.
 In many parts of Boston are to be seen bronze tablets with appropriate inscriptions, marking some historic building or commemorating some nota- ble event. Certain patriotic orders, like the Sons of the Revolution, have made the placing of such tablets one of tleir duties. In various New England communities local historic societies mark notable sites in a similar way, perhaps at first with painted legends, to be replaced, when means permit, by inscriptions more enduring. This ser vice might well be extended Street names often bear intimate relations with local history, but for lack of re- cord the circumstances of their de- signation are likely to be forgotten. Here, then, is rich field of work for local societies, in placing in each street that bears name of historical purport an inscription giving the facts of the case. Lincoln street, in Boston, for in- stance, might now commonly to be named in honor of the great President. But a suitable insciption would reicte the fact that the same was given on such date in honor of Levi Lincoln, Governor of the common wealth, etc, On School street the inscription would be to the effect that the first public ! Latin school in America stood there In such ways the streets of a town could be made veritable book for the public, in which literally they that run might read. These tablets could be given attractive shape, aus simple or as ornate as desired, and perhaps fasllion- ed after some standard design, as street signs are. Or, where a street | pearS the name or person Of note, the tablet might include a medallion por- trait in low relief. The thoroughfare itself would thereby more fully serve the wunction of a commemorative monument. Inscriptions might at first be affixed in temporary shape, gradual ly to be produced in bronze, perhaps
 a certain number each year Such a
 work would add greatly to the interest
 of a place. Particularly in the older parts of the country, as in New Eng land, the historic character of which attracts tourists from other parts of the country in increasing numbers
 every year, it would be remunerative

CRAZY ENGINE

CITENIENT NEAR ROUND
HOUSE.
Throttle Went Wrong and II Insist
ed On Getting i'm the Turn-Ta-
BILE Pit.

Switch engine No. S5, in the To-
cal |. c. yard service. went on a lark
yesterday afternoon late and caused
great deal of excitement and some
little damage at the round house. A
defective throttle caused the trouble
and for a time 1t looked as If the
engine would be smashed up in the
turntable pit. or the walls of the
round-house crushed in, as the big
engine plunged madly forward and
backward.
The engines throttle went wrong
early in the afternoon and was run
into the round-house for repairs
Steam was kept up. as the engine
needed little repair work, when sud
denly. without warning. the plug
was blown out of the leaking throt-
tie valve and the engine started
back and ran into the turntable pit.
The tender went in but the engine
proper remained on the tracks.
The wrecker was called into SER
vice and Hostler Tom Heath was sent
INTO the engine cab to apply steam
and help get the tender out of the
nit.
When the wrecker lifted the tend
er even with tracks Heath pushed the
reverse lever forward, but did not
know the throttle valve was leaking,
The engine then started forward and
nearly ran into the wall of the round
house before Heath, could set the
lever back again.
As soon as he reversed the second
time the engine went back into the
lit. This performance was kept up
FOR some little time ,intl finally the
engine went into the pit again and re-
mained immovable. The throttle
valve was plugged again and the en-
zine lifted out by tho wrecker Nee
sssary repairs were made and the
engine is in service again today.
The accident occurred about
o'clock. but the engine was not lift
ed out before 3.
