Bad Candy.

Candy brilliantly colored with coal
tar dye will be outlawed at the end of
this month and merchants who have
only two weeks to dispose of their
supply.
The new code, which goes into effect
March l, makes the use Of coal tar
dye prima facie evidence OF adultera-
tion and subjects to manufacturing
or seller to fine or priSonment.
Under the old law it was up to the
dairy and food department to prove
that the use of coal tar dye was in
furious. Although it is generally ad-
mitted that the use of the dye is in
furious to prove this in court is not
always an easy matter.
1t is comparatively easy to detect
the presence of the dye and State
Food Commissioner e. X Slater says
that the law will be enforced without
mercy. The law says No person
shall manufacture and sell adulter-
ated confectionery; and confectionery
shall be deemed adulterated if it con-
tains terra alba, barytes talie, coal
tar dye. or any other poisonous or in
furious to health"
This. will make a miSdemeanor of
the sale Of all candy not made from
pure ingredient and colored with any
thing else than vegetable color.

THOS. F. COLE
Most Striking Figure in the Cop.
per World To-day.

The strife between the Amalga-
mated interests and the United Cop
per company are at an end and that
Thomas T. Cole. president Of the
Oliver Iron Mining company, and one
of the foremost men in the copper
mining industry in America, had an
important part in the negotiations is
suggested by New York advices. For
nearly six weeks the Duluth man has
been at different times in consulta-
ton with the Standard Oil officials at
26 Broadway, New York, and has
spent little time at his Offices in Du-
luth. Two weeks ago lie arrived
home in time to attend the annual
meeting of the Oliver company and
left the same day for the east, pre-
sumably to participate in the con-
summation Of the Amalgamated
United Copper deal. Whatever may
be the truth Of his connection with
the transaction, it is certain that the
magnitude of the deal is not beyond
Cole. He is essentially a man of
large affairs, possessing business ac-
umen and diplomacy that was in
stantly recognized by Standard Oil
when he entered the Butte camp
under the lea of the Clark, Heinze
and Amalgamated properties and de-
veloped in less than year the North
Butte mine.
When the history Of the Montana
copper war is completed and written
it is reasonably certain that Coles
part in the transaction will make
him a still bigger man in the copper
mining industry.
Thomas T. Cole is without doubt
the most striking figure in the copper
mining world today. His rise in forty
four years of life has taken him from
the position of wash boy in the old
Cliff mine in Keweenaw county to
the head of the mining department of
the United States Steel corporation,
and the moving spirit in twelve cop
per mining ventures, the aggregate
value of which today is over 500, 0O0,-
900. Strange as it may seem, none of
Coles 1otations in the copper market
have been accomplished by the use of
printer'sin but haye been based on
the money of the public who had
faith in his judgement of what con-
stituted intrinsic mine merits. Since
the flotation of Calumet & Arizona
six years ago, he has been the guiding
genius in twelve companies that have
proved successful, and, the millions
that lie might have accumulated for
himself were parceled out to the
public. Friends of his boyheod days
were hunted up and given an allot-
ment of stock whenever Il "melon was
cut" and even those who antagOnized
him in the early days of his struggles
as a mining superintendent were
taken care Off with the same free
hand. Coles benefactions are a
source of annoyance to him in print,
but secretly the greatest satisfaction
is found by him In the knowledge
that she sells at par" with the com
menest mine IabOrer who was his
friend in days of adversely. How
many men Cole has enriched by his
copper mining ventures will never be-
known, but it Is certain that many

OF his putting them in he way Of
making money, and others probably
less deserving have accumulated for
tunes.
There Is perhaps no other man in
the United States today who holds in
the hollow Of his hand the confidence
OF so many people As Thomas f. Cole
in matters relating mining. While
other financiers have been satisfied TO
accumulate millions through drain
age from the public lie has been con-
tent in gathering together Il comfort

his friends reap,d the bulk Of the
harvest Honesty with Tom" Cole
is IL creed, and thus his following is
unparalleled in tile annals OF mining.
Illustrative of this point, the mere
rumor that another Cole mining COM
pany was to be fiDated several months
ago, brought IA deluge Of mail TO Du-
luth large enough To over subscribe a
million dollar company several times
over. "'rom" Cole could accumulate
more millions in Il shorter space Of
time by selling stock jobbing mining
shares than any other man in the
United States, if he was anything
but tile man that he is Coles inti-
mate friends, who are in a position to
know, say he is worth perhaps 81 ,0O0,-

one-twentieth Of the appreciation Of
ouly one of his mines wi thin the past
six months.

Wednesday was St. Valentines day
and as usual the editor received his
yearly lot of gaudy colored caricatures
in the shape of printers, editors and
other necessary evils. We also re-
ceived a valentine with a fringed edge
showing large juicy heart and we
were under the impression that some
fair maiden sent it in. Since then
we have discovered that a mistake
made in directing the envelopes and
that the picture destined for the
print shop, went to some other party.
Thus are our young hopes shattered.

GIFTS OF SILVER TO BE HIGH
An Expert Observer Has Reached Some
Reassuring Conclusions.
Walter Williams in the Columbia Her

AID.
After considerable observation the
East Window has come to the conclusion
that the college woman marries as quick
ly-a as the woman who has not the adj
vantage of college training. When
the rioht man comes along the woman
will say yes whether she is bachelor
Of arts or .housemaid. And she will
make the better housemaid because she
is a bachelor Of arts. There are some
educated women who are welded to
comes along. Then he is their profess
sion. Marriages Of convenience are
made less frequently by college women
because they do not feel obliged to
marry and escape poverty or depend
ence. But love marriages. are made as
often and it is only the love marriage
that is worth the making.
Somebody gathered statistics relative
to the graduates Of certain college
in Columbia for young women. They
were asked at graduation what they
| planned to be. Seven said teachers.
three artists, one q lawyer and one a
missionary. Ten of the twelve are mar
ried and have nineteen babies and there
| is hope for the other two. The girl who
was going to be missionary married
first Of all. Maybe that's what she
| meant.
If there is a girl who isn't going to
college this year because she thinks col.
lege will interfere with her matrimonial
chances she might as well change her
| plans and go to college She will have
a better chance to become wife after
| she has been thru college and will be a
better wife.

Protection of Passengers.

The officials Of the Burlington road.
animated, it is said, by a desire to safe
guard the lives Of passengers, have re-
solved to remove from fast passenger
trains all engineers who wear glasses.
It is claimed that an engineer, however
efficient otherwise, is greatly handi-
capped by spectacles. Engineers whose
glasses become dimmed by smoke and
dust are compelled to remove them, and
thus are liable to pass danger signals.
On the other hand, the engineers argue.
that if an engineer is to be removed
as soon as it becomes necessary to wear
glasses, many engineers will conceal
their defect in vision long after they
should have begun to wear spectacles.
and thus the danger to passengers will
be increased. This would probably be
true as to the engineers who would de-
lay as long as possible the time when
they would be removed from frst-class
runs, but the company could very read,
lily detect failing eyesight by ordering
periodic examinations by oculists.
The danger to passengers is the. big
question at issue, and undoubtedly the
public would take the side of the com.
pany in every effort to improve condi.
tions, tho it worked hardship on some
individuals. The personal element
should not enter into it.. Neither should
the theories of few officials as to the
effect of wearing spectacles govern en-
tirely. The question should be tried out
in such manner as to make certain
that the wearing Of glasses is cause
of danger before any men are deprived
of positions they worked hard and Ions
to attain.

Drill in Debate.

The fame of the Minnesota high
school debating league has reached 9th
er states and the example, set here has
already been. followed in Iowa, where
a high school debating league quite
similar In general plan to that in Min
nesota has been organized. The pro-
fessor of public speaking in the state
University of Iowa is the, chairman Of
the executive committee and series of
debates between the different districts,
of which there are four in the state,
will be held on the question whether
cities Of the United States should seek
the solution of the street railway prob
lem thru private ownership.
The high school debating league has
amply justified its existence in Mime
sofa. 1t is the testimony of the uni:
versity faculty that those students com
ing from the high schools of the state
which have participated in the work OF
the league take high rank in the de-
batting contests Of the university anc
in some cases the selections for the de-
batting teams Of the Minnesota uni
| versity have been made entirely from
those who have been debaters in the
high school league, showing that prac
tice and drill of this kind in the higl
schools is almost necessary for success!

THE SINS OF SOCIETY
London Spectator.

To denounce the vices of an upper
class will always please the lower. HUI
man nature is such that it will not be
warned of the gross obvious sins if it
has the wish or means to compass them;
and If it has not, it will not be appre-
Gladly the better for hearing them de-
scribed and abused. The worst of the
tracy sermon against VICE. as Stew
enson has pointed out, is that there is
always present a "secret element Of
gusto, if not in the, preacher, in the
nearer.
There r no obscurity about the facts.
No one needs to be convinced that i'm
morality and gambling are wrong. But
if they are associated with a particu-
lar class, men and women who do not
belong to that class will not take warn
ing-they cannot imagine that the les
son applies to them-but will feel only
prurient or self-righteous satisfaction
in this drawing Of the veil from a life
which they believe to be more desirable
than their own.
All preaching at classes is apt to
have this disastrous result. 1t does not
touch the culprits, who are glad of the
advertisement; and it stimulates idle
curiosity and an unjustifable satisfac-
ton in others who would be better. en-
ployed in rejecting on their own short
comings.

THE RIGHT SORT OF PORCH
A Library Opening Upon a Roof Gar
den Delightful Innovation.
September Indoors and Out.

In all parts of the country the pass
,erby sees innumerable porches on which
no one ever sits-a waste Of more
things than space and lumber.
Deluded home builders attach to the
fronts of their houses shelf eight feet
wide in full sight of the street, or en-
circle their sitting rooms and libra
<ries with twelve-foot light -snatcher,
making the legitimate functions Of the
rooms Impossible on cloudy days and
sending the family upstairs to their
bedrooms for cheer and comfort.
A better plan, however, is to
put the porch in an angle made by the
main house and wing, or to build out
large square porch projecting in the
fashion of a porte-cochere and screened
by glass, perhaps at one end to give the
sense of the outdoor room rather than
the exposed platform; for to possess
the livable quality a porch must have a
certain quality which we will call COST
ness, for lack Of more exact word.
Such porches. as these can be made to
fulfil the porch ideal; they can have all
the fancied charm. They can be partly
or completely, glassed, if the climate
demand, heated, and made available
for all weathers. n Personally
T should put my porch and all my. fam
| lily life at the back Of the house, rele
eating my kitchen to the side, or even
the front. Better still. should devise
spacious upstairs bale ony. A proper
/ lY planned balcony is delightful
place; it lends itself to negligee and in
timacy in a way that no downstairs
porch can do, not to speak of its use
as a sleeping room in warm weather.
A roof garden is the best of all.
cannot imagine building a house with
out one. I should put my servants on
the lower floors, as well as all the I'M
individual rooms, and reserve the tor
floors for the holy of holies--a library
worthy Of the name. opening wide upon
roof garden, awning shaded, or even
temporarily rooted, open to breezes, yet
made private and cosy by a hollow rail

and drained at the bottom, full of bios
soming plants. What delightful re
