The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but 1t is a well
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman
2einbold, the expert German chemist,
IN recent official report concerning
Baking Powders. declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less

Eyes Are Hereditary.

The British Association is asking
the public to cooperate in hunting
down a secret of which some fasci
mating hints have just been discover
ed. The difficulty of investigation is
no more than noting down the color
of the eyes of the family. In the light
of science there are only two sorts
of eyes--blue and not blue. Hence
appears a strange law of heredity.
II is asserted that where both par
ents have blue eyes. all the children
have blue eyes; where. both parents
have brown eyes, all the children
have brown eyes; but 1t is where the
parents differ that this alleged law OF
heredity is most surprising In this
case brown eyes are said to be domi
nant and blue eyes recessive. so that
the children Of mixed parents three
of every four will have brown eyes
and one blue.

DANCE WITH LIVE SNAKES.
An Indian Custom That is Supposed
to Bring Good Crops.

Groups of three are now formed
by the snake men, each group con.
sisting of carrier priest, an at
tendant and a gatherer. and these
walt their turn In front of the kisi,
where the snakes are handed to the
carrier priest Soon all the dancers
are furnished with reptiles, and,
holding the squirming snakes in their
teeth, they dance slowly and with
closed eyes around the plaza.
The carrier priest Is followed by
the attendant. who holds a snake
whip with which he distracts the
make and 80 diverts its attention
from the man who carries it, and the
gatherer is always ready to snatch
up the snakes when they are dropped
to the ground
| have often noticed rattlesnakes
held closer to the rattles than to the
head. so they could easily run their
carrier priest. 1t was nervous work
watching them, for II often appeared
as If nothing could prevent a fatal
strike, bait the priests never seemed
to be unnerved or disconnected in the
least, and the programme is never
changed.
After the plaza has been circled
twice with each snake. It is dropped
to the ground, the shock of the fall
being violent enough usually to cause
the RATHER to coil and shake its rat
ties. Then the gatherer. with a few
strokes OF his feather whip, reduces
It to submission, picks II up and
hands It to one OF the antelope men
to hold.
When all the snakes have been
danced with, each one receiving the
same treatment, the head snake priest
strews meal in a circle at one side
of the floor, and the snake priests
all gather around 1t. Then at a given
signal, all the snakes are thrown
within the circle, where they are
sprinkled with sacred meal by mum
bers of Hopi maidens.
Then another signal is given, and
the snake priests swoop down, grab
up as many snakes as they can carry
and rush down the sides of the steep
mesa to the plains below to release
the snakes in certain sacred places
so that they may carry the prayers
from the living to the dead, and the
ancestors of the Hopi may intercede
for them with the nature gods that
there may be plenty of rain and no
danger of the crops being destroyed
by drought.-The Craftsman.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps in Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest In
everything that goes on in The world
Is well known, but few are aware OF
he trouble he takes to keep In touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
1t least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
he ideas Of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that OF the interior, has to pro.
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated. and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often. too. the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects In which for the
time he is specially interested.

Washington, D. C.-Milton D. Pur-
dy, assistant to the Attorney-General
and author of the njunction-receiver-
ship method of dealing with the
trusts, has sailed for Europe for a
vacation of six weeks or two months.
It is probable that there will be no
great activity in trust prosecutions
during the next two months, for At
torney-General Bonaparte spends
most of his time at his country seat
in Maryland, Solicitor-Gene Hoyt
is already in Europe and Assistant
Attorney-General McReynolds, who
prepared the case against the So
called tobacco monopoly, accompanies
Mr.. Purdy or. his European journey
Only two more antitrust suits
are in immediate contemplation. The
case against the Du Pont Powder
Corporation is in print, ready for the
final approval of the Attorney-GeE-
eral, and the papers in the case have
been submitted to him. The other
proposed action is against the In
ternational Harvester Company,
which is declared by the Government
officers to be a monopoly in restraint
of interstate commerce.
The investigation of the Harves-
ter Company has never been COM
pleted, although the preliminary ex-
animation, which was enough to sat-
isfy officers of the Department of JUS
tice that some action should be taken
against the. corporation, was COM
pleted some time ago. The prosscu-
ton of the Harvester Company may
possibly go over until the autumn.
An experiment will be made in the
suit against the Tobacco Company,
which is charged with violating the
Sherman law. An Injunction will be
asked against it to prevent it engag-
ing in interstate commerce, and the
court will be asked to appoint re-
ceiver.

Lunatic Shoots Constable.

angeburg county, sent his constable,
H. E. Valentine, TO arrest X. Z.
Franklin, a negro, one charge OF
larceny. Franklin lives on E. S. Spires
place, about four miles from Norway.
Constable Valentine pressed into serV'
ice w. n. Carter, and both went to
Frarklin's house to arrest him.
On arriving at the house, Valentine
went to the front door and go. in, and
the negro drew his pistol and fired at
him. The ball entered his left side
and penetrated the stomach. The ne
gro wrenched Valentines pistol from
him. and it fired, striking the negro
in the shoulder. Valentine was fatally
wounded.
The negro is still at large, and is
being chased by a posse OF men.

Restriction to Be Tested.

An interesting suit has been started
in the state circuit court at Charles
ton to test the legality Of the restric-
ton placed upon its employees by the
Atlantic Coast Line, which requires
them to join the relief association and
forbids them from entering suit for
such damages as they may receive.
The point is to be made in the case
of Norris S. Neville, vino was hurt in
the caDsizing of fiat car in pro-
ces of unloading. In this case, the Sec
tion master is also made party to
the suit for the purpose of preventing
the railroad company from moving the
cause to the United States court, tTe-
ouently done under the nonresident
provision.
On account of these two questions,
the suit becomes one of great import
ance. although brough. only for the
sum of $4,000, for a victory for the
plaintiff will probably prove the break
ing up of the relief system and the
filing of many actions against the
road.
