DRINKS FOR THE SUMMER
Good Reason Why Drinks Containing
Carbonic Acid Gas Are
So Popular.

The London Lancet, discussing
"effervescing beverages" agrees re-
garding their extensive use among all
classes.
Probably" 1t says, there are two
reasons for it. First of all. carbonic
acid gas gives piquancy to a beverage,
briskness to it and an acid TASTE -
and, second, there are reasons for be-
lieving that the effervescent proper
ties of liquid promote digestion in
two ways; first, by the carbonic acid
acting as a stimulant to the move
ments of the stomach, and, second, by
assisting in the disintegration of the
contents Of the stomach"
On the other hand, however, 1t may
be undesirable to. GisteRd the stomach
with so much gas, as it may lead to
the embarrassment Of action of Il
weak heart and may even poison the
blood by the direct absorption of the
gas by the stomach. In such cases
therefore, such beverages should be
avoided 1t is the question. then, OF
mere immoderation in use that causes
real trouble

COSTUMES OF INDIA INK.
Best Quality of the Product Is Kept
in China-Process of Its
Manufacture.

This india ink, said the clever
Chinese art student, has no more
right to be called Indian than your
American redskins have to that name
For india ink all comes from China,
and India never produced a stick
of it,
'Anhui, my own province, is the
one where india ink is made. The
best of the ink is kept at home, for
the use of the royal scribes and the
official literati. 1t is only the lower
grade that is exported. This lower
grade sells at wholesale in Anhui for
$500 ton.
THE very best grade india ink,
the kind rich with gold, is worth $751;
600 ton.
THE constituents of india ink are
COLA oil, pork fat, 'ampblack, glue,
musk, gold leaf and the oil of poi
sonous tree, the heng, which grows
only in the Yangste valley.
After the admixture of the oils,
the lampblack, the fat and the glue,
the resultant paste is beaten for many
hours with steel hammers upon wood.
en- anvils, and during that long beat!
ing certain quantities of musk and
of gold leaf are added, the musk to
give the ink a perfume, the gold to
give it luster.
Afterward the ink is dried for three
weeks in molds. The stocks are then
decorated. the most artistic scribes
gliding them with very beautiful Chi
nese characters.
There is no ink worthy to be
mentioned in the same breath with
ours-an ink redolent of musk and

the prisoner was an army veteran,
and when he stood before the bar of
justice it was very evident that he
felt his position keenly. Just before
he was arraigned young woman, his
wife, stepped up to the detention pen
hesitatingly and took out of her hand
bag freshly Numbered collar and
necktie which she furtiyely handed
the man. The change wrought in his
appearance by the new neckwear was
phenomenal. He was placed upon

he will never be brought into court

MAY NOT REBUILD SHOPS.

at Keyser.

Information from reliable source
is to the effect that the Baltimore aud
OHIO Railroad Co., has cancelled its
contract with W. A. Liller, of Keyser.
W. Va, for the erection of the large
machine shops at that place, to take
the place Of the shops DESTROYED BY
fire sometime ago. Mr.. Liller refused
to say anything on the subject. and
the reason for stopping the work can
not be learned.
It is stated that Col. Thomas b.
Davis has gone TO Deer Park to confer
with General Manager Fitzgerald in
reference to the matter. One reason
given for the cancellation is that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad sent &C
Italians to Keyser to work as laborers
in the shops. and that the people re-
fused to board them. Another reason
stated is that the Baltimore and Ohio
people are angry over what they term
too high taxation OF their property in
West Virginia, and of the refusal OF
those in authority to lower the same.
