Street Cars Fatal to Cats.

The street car bumped cheerily
along on the uneven tenor Of its way.
The one passenger groaned in unison
with the jolts and chung to the side OF
his seat with the stolid endurance OF
an Indian at the torture stake. The
conductor and driver were exchanging
"reminiscences.
I'VE ran over a dog this morning"
quoth the former.
You don't say!" responded the
driver. THAT was going some"
Yep; a little terrier. He rushed
right out after cat, and bin! 1t was
all over"
Talking of CATS" resumed the
driver. IF they amt the strangest
beasts ever seen! A cat will most
ly skin through anything, but when =
comes to headlight it's all off. Co
ing along at night l see them sitting
on the track perhaps as much as
block away. There they'll sit, their
eyes blazing away like two electric
lights. Not move till they are
struck. They seem fairly dazed by
the headlight. It's mesmerism; that's
what it is"
Just then another passenger board
ed the car and the conductor moved
on musingly to hold him up for q

North Dakota Solves the AduIteratIon
ProbIenn.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo
pie into buying inferior and adulter
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label TELL" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In ali other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little = sometimes no - real
white lead
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
nnwittingly buying what we did not
want

Many inquiries show ut the same
time interest in and ignorance Of De
natured alcohol. In a word, dena-
tured alcohol is alcohol. so changed
by the addition of some other sub
stance as to prevent its use as bev-
erage. Commissioner Yerkes is in
Europe investigating methods there
The commissioner, under the law.
must see that sufficient wood alcohol
is added. Twenty per cent was men
toned In congress as the proper guam
tity, but in Germany ten per cent is
considered sufficient In Great Brit
ain five per cent. of wood alcohol and
a still smaller proportion of napths
are used. DR.. Wiley recommends ten
per cent of wood alcohol and one per
cent. of pyridine. The tax on alcohol
is now $1.10 a gallon This makes its
use for mechanical purposes impossi.
Bile. But free from tax and denatur
lied 1t Is thought that alcohol can be
made for less than ten cents a gal
lon, and could be sold at profit for
a few cents more than that. In that
event it's use in place of gasoline and
Kerosene as power producer and
for light will undoubtedly be very
great, as in Germany. 1t will be a
boon, says the Indianapolis News
especially to the farmer and small
mechanic for small power engines
With a mantle, it's use for light is
economical. Alcohol can be distilled
from any number of things, as Pc.
tatoes, beets, corn-the stalks as we'll
as the grain-the waste of molasses
factories, etc. The agricultural de-
partment thinks that potatoes will
be chief source of our supply. A
yield of 300 bushels of potatoes to the
acre will produce 255 gallons of al
cohol. In Europe, kind of potatoes
grown for cattle will yield nearly 500
gallons to the acre.
