DORMOUSE DELICAClES.
Titbits That Were ReIished In An
cfent Roman Times.

Titbits That Were Relished In AM
cient Roman Times.
Drawn was originally a Roman dish
and was eaten with garum, and cows
and calf's foot jellies were likewise
dainties with Rome's upper ten in the
time of the Caesars. One would hardly
suppose that black buildings were so
old as the reign of Tiberius, but this is
the fact. They were made of pigs
blood, with little cubes of fat inter
spersed in the compound, and were the
invention of a gentleman who rejoiced
in the name of acknowledgements. 1t
was he who invented all kinds of sau-
sages-that is. meat stuffed into skins,
which, we take IL, Is the ground plan,
so to speak, of a sausage.
This gentleman also wrote learned
treatise on the fattening Of dormice for
the table, for at one period dormice
were a craze. There were dormouse
| soup, dormouse sausage, dormouse
Drawn, dormouse cooked in every
| conceivable way, and the demand for
| this delicacy in prize sizes was so great
that there was room fer book on the
| subject, though unfortunately this
book is lost to posterity, and the only
knowledge which we have of the fat
tening Of dormice in Rome Is from
Petronius Arbiter, who tells us that
they became fat by sleeping
He also tells us that the best sauce
to eat with dormouse is a mixture of
| poppy seed and honey, a mixture which
probably had the merit of inducing
| sleep after a meal.

OUR USUAL MENU IS AmYsrgaY

The pure food law is in effect,
but it does not mean that adultera-
ted goods must be so marked.
Nor does the law apply to goods
sold in the State in which they are
manufactured. 1t is only when
they are shipped from one State to
another that the Federal law can
apply. 1t rests with States to en-
act laws to apply to articles manu-
featured and sold or consumed in
the State. The law is not so much
pure food law as it is an honest
food law, for i'll merely requires
that adulterated goods shall be
marked as such. Nearly everything
is adulterated, that is to say, all
kind of food articles are. In many
cases bread contains alum; meat is
treated with sodium sulphite; Jams
and jellies contain salicylic acid
and coal tar dyes; vinegar is for
titled with mineral acid; cocoa is
adulterated with starch or ground
shells and sugar; glucose contain
ing poisonous sulphites is largely
used in the manufacture ofcandies:
whisky is made of spirits by the use
of "beading oils" with various
fiaVors and caramel coloring; mus
tard contains flour, and most
ground spices are adulterated
Even medicines are adulterated
Boric and salicylic acid and for.
maldehyde enters into many arti-
cles as preservatiYes. Citric acid,
benZOic acid, fannie acid, arcoliC
acid, and other acids are used as
antiseptics or to give flavor. The
law will hardly prevent the use o.
these, but it requires that brands
and labels shall truly state the
character of contents of cans, pack
ages, etc

QUALIFIED As PARTY LEADER

The short lived attempt to set
aside John Sharpe Williams as the
Democratic House leader in Con-
gress, developed the fact that two
causes were operating against him,
thinks the Montgomery Advertiser.
One was that he was a leader in
fact, and as such stirred up the
Iesentments of some pulled up
members who did not like the
idea of acting, as it were, "under
orders.n Another was the hope
that adverse action by the House
might help his opponents in the
contest for election as Senator from
Mississippi to succeed Mr.. Money
Mr.. Williams has shown great
capacity as a public man, and more
quality for leadership than any
other Democrat in Congress.

Although he was not the first to de-
wise a machine for typewriting, John
Pratt won the distinction of inventing
the first working typewriter that Sc
cured a sale. He was born in Union
vile, S. c., on April IA. 1881, and in
1864, with his wife, he went to Eng
land, Pratt devoting his time to the in
vention of mechanism which he des-
ignated the "pterotype," the first prac-
teal typewriter. Provisional protection
to the invention was granted by the
British government in February, 1864,
and on Dec. 1, 1866, letters patent No.
1853 were granted to Pratt. On re-
turning to the United States, in 1868,
he secured letters patent in this coun-
try. Mr.. Pratt was the first inventor
of a machine in which a type wheel
was moved by key levers, and he was
the first man to make and sell type
writer's, having sold several in London
in 1867.

The corpse plant is a remarkable
carnivorous specimen that grows in
the colony of Natal. It's principal
feature is bell shaped mouth, with
g throat opening into hollow stem.
1t is almost black and covered with
n thick, glutinous secretion, while it's
odor is very offensive. This attracts
carrion feeding birds to it, and once
they alight on it they are lost. Their
claws become entangled in the secre-
ton, the bell shaped mouth folds up,
and they are literally swallowed.

TO PROHIBIT ALL
 DEALS IN FUTURES

Little Rock, Ark, March 1.-The house Thursday morning, by vote cf 79 to 4, passed the Moore-Heartsill anti-future selling bill.
 This is one of the most drastic bills directed at bucket shops and future dealings introduced at this session. It is made up of parts of two measures introduced by Representatives Moore and Heartsill. It will if it becomes a law, prohibit all dealings in futures and will only permit the posting Of market quotations at regular boards of trade and cotton exchanges. It will also make it unlawful for any tele- graph Or telephone company to trans init any message containing any in formation in regard to the sale or pur- chase of futures.
 A special committee of the senate is holding public hearings on the sub ject and it is probable will introduce new bill, based upon the six bills now pending in that body. In that event the bill passed by the house may not be given favorable consideration in the senate.

OPENS AT
 ANNISTON TODAY

Anniston, Ala, March 15.-The Woodstock Iron company is selling iron, having opened it's stacks at Anniston today. It is believed to have booked third and last quarter iron at $1S.50 and possibly some at SIS in order to fill up it's order books. This shading of price by new concern anxious for business cuts no figure in the general mar ket. When the Woodstock company have orders sufficient they will be as stiff in price as anyone. Esti- mates made as to the amount of ac- cumulated pig iron and cast iron pipe in the yard in the manufac- turing districts of Alabama places the delayed products at 90,000 tons. It is believed the railroad handled only about 10 per cent of the ac- cumulated iron and pipe during the past month. There is good feeling in the district over the fact that the advance in freight rates did not go into effect, and it is be- lieved now will not until all the accumulated iron has been moved out.

Take care of backache. great many cases of kidney complaint are reported about here, also blad- der trouble and rheumatism.
 An authority once stated that pain in the back, loins or region of the kidneys is the danger signal nature hangs out to notify the sui ferer that there is something wrong with the kidneys, which should re- ceive immediate attention. Only vegetable treatment should be ad- ministered and absolutely no strongly alcoholic patent medicines, which are harmful to the kidneys and bladder.
 The following prescription, while simple, harmless and inexpensive, is known and recognized as soV- ereign remedy for kidney complaint The ingredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharm- acy and anyone can mix them: Com pound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 This preparation is said to re- store the natural function of the kidneys, so they will sift and strain the poisonous waste matter, uric acid etc, from the blood, purify ing it and relieving rheumatism. Backache will be relieved, the urine will be neutralized and cleared and no longer cause of ir- ritation. thereby overcoming such symptoms as weak bladder, painful, frequent and other urinary diff ficulties
