Prince Rupert's Drops.

Prince Rupert's drops are drops OF
molten glass, consolidated by falling
to water. Their form is that of a tad
pole. The thick end may be ham,
mered pretty smartly without its break
ing, but if the smallest portion OF the
thin end is nipped off the whole flies
into fine dust with explosive violence.
These toys, If not invented by Prince
Rupert, were introduced by him into
England.

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
Victims of the Earthquake Disaster
Are Inferred.

Messina, Italy-A most impressive
funeral ceremony was witnessed near
here Thursday when Archbishop Bar
rigo made his way through the town
through the ruins of the city to the
cemetery at Mare Crosse and blessed
a grave 100 feet wide and 80 feet deep,
containing 1900 bodies. The dead
were piled one on top of the other and
the bodies, covered with quicklime.
The prelate was followed to the Gene
terry by large gathering of Survivors
whose lamentations mingled with the
Latin words of the service and bene-
diction.
Subsequently the archbishop walked
through the ruins and blessed the mill
tary hospital, the military college, the
barracks and the archbishops house,
considering these wrecked edificcs as
so many cemeteries. Under them
were the corpses of soldiers, students,
policemen and monks.
All the valuables found among the
ruins are being taken on board tho
steamer Duca Di Gerpa in the bay.
Wednesday currency to the amount
of s3,6O0,OOO, including the contents
Of the safe of the Siciian-American
bank, was transferred to this vessel.
A banker named Mauromati, who was
one of the richest residents, lost
everything. Wednesday he went to
the authorities barefooted and half
clad and asked for pair of shoes and
an overcoat.
With the exception of Saint Andrea
Avellino, all the churches in Messina
have been destroyed.
Orders were issued Thursday that
all who have not received a permit to
remain must leave the city. Rations
will be refused to all those who do
not obey the order.

PRINTED WHISKEY RECEIPT
OVERSIGHT OF CHRISTIAN ADVO-
CATE EDITOR CAUSED HIM
SOME EMBARRASSMENT.

Tell your exchange editor to pro-
vide himself with periscopic spec
tacles."
That was only one of the MANY
suggestions received by Charles NJ
Stuart, recently appointed editor of
the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, because of the following re-
produced in last weeks Advocate
from the New York Tribune;
Pound Cake-Cream together
one cup of butter and three cups of
sugar. Add yolks of five eggs and
beat the whole until it is very light
Then stir in one wineglass of whisky
one nutmeg, grated and then one
cup of milk, and when these in
gradients are we'll mixed beat in
four cups of -four with which two
teaspoonsful of baking powder have
been sifted. Last of all, beat the
whites of the five eggs to froth
and stir them in"
Mr.. Stuart wishes that the ex-
change editor had obtained the per
1scopic spectacles before he clipped
the recipe For with the subscribers
to the Advocate, itself devoted to
the cause of temperance, whiskey.
even as the ingredient of a table
dish, is thing abhOred. PERT
SCOPE spectacles, Mr.. Stuart thinks,
.endoWing their wearer with a broad
range of vision, would have enabled
the exchange editor to see in the
clipping all the concealed dynamite
winch exploded with its publication.
hoI I
the many homes in which it circu-
lates before Mr.. Stuart began to
hear from the whisky recipe His
tlrst word was over the telephone, a
woman at the other end demanding:
What does this mean? Is the
Advocate, which we have looked on
for years as an ardent champion of
temperance, joined the whisky
fOrces?"
Mr.. Stuart scarcely had recov-
cred from this when Bishop Nc
DOWell entered his office with this
as his greeting:
T just met man who had eaten
some of your pound cake. I could
smell it."
Mr.. Stuart lost no time in prepar-
this weeks issue of the Advocate.
Meanwhile he had explained verbally
that the recipe crept into the col
umns without the knowledge of him
self or his associates. About as
nearly as he could fix the RESPONSE
bility, he declared, it rested upon the
printers devil" This explanation,
suggestive of his Satanic majesty,
was generally satisfactory, but Mr..
Stuart thought the printed apology
still necessary and inserted it this
week as follows:
'The appearance of the clipping
was sheer inadvertence, which the
editor regrets quite as much as does
any of his readers. The Northwest
ern has for over fifty years been
consistent and ~fnsistent against the
use of intOXicants and against the
traffic; it is not likely to stulify it's
record even in the interest of the
toothsomeness of pound cake. -

VIII do 1t on March 18th"
Champ Clark was asked tonight
ABOUT the pipe dreams" about a
coalition between the insurgents and
the democrats and the probable cleo
ton of republican insurgent az
Speaker.
Why" said he, they can defeat
cannon easy enough if they want to
oy simply voting for me-"
And that's fact. 1t is put in
true Champ-ClarkeSe but it hits the
nail on the head. But, of course
they will not do it.

any truth in the report of an in
tehtlon on the part of the democrats
TO vote for a republican insurgent,
that being a practical way of de-
Ieatlng Cannon. do you think we
nave taken leave of our senses?" was
the reply. Il have told you the one
way they can elect a Speaker. There
IS no other way that l know Of
1t would take just twenty-four
republicans to elect a Speaker if
they would just do it in the wav
Mr.. Clark suggests. That is out of
the question. The insurgents want
to defeat Cannon, but they don't
want to do it that bad. They will
go into caucus and while voting
against Cannon there will vote for
MIN against Clark. Some few, some
very few, might stay out of caucus.
but they will not vote for Clark,
But they may join with the demo-
Gratis on the revision of the rules
and that is going to be the fight on
March 18th. There are already
twenty republicans who, it is be-
lIeved, can be depended on to bolt
the caucus on the adoption of the.
present rules. 1t will take four
more. Some of the leaders among
the insurgents say they have six
more who though not actually
pledged will go with them. If they
have, and if they all stick which is
rather doubtful proposition alto
gether, then the rules of the house
will be revised, the Speaker will be
shorn of his power, the committees
will be appointed by a special COM
mittee elected by the members, and
your Uncle Joe Cannon's petty des-
potism will be at an end

The government has published a
book entitled Sources Of the Agri-
cultural Imports of the United
States" which tells how the entire
world is drawn On for food stuffs.
It's pages present some surprises AS
an example: Most of the imported
beeswax comes from the island the
United States has just turned over
to its people-Cuba. The second
largest supply comes from Santo Do
mingo, while the republic of Haiti
also supplies a large quantity.
A large quantity of the onions We
use comes from Egypt, but England
sends us the most We call also for
this vegetable on Bermuda, Spain,
Cuba, the British Isles in the West
Indies, Italy, Canada Mexico and
France. a few years ago we import
ed many thousands of bushels of on
ions from Switzerland, and we have
imported them from China.
Cheese come from twenty-one
countries. Some Of them are the
very last ones thought of in the ship
ment of this product. We have been
known to get a ton at a time from
Turkey, and shipments have also
been made from Egypt.
Not all the eggs consumed on the
breakfast table are laid by the hens
of the United States. Hundreds of
thousands of eggs come from China.
Eighty thousand dozen in a year is
now considered a small shipment
from China while the shipments from
Canada, Mexico and Japan reach
large proportions.
Throughout the entire world sheep
herders have to watch their fiocks
to supply the citizens of the United
States with lamb and mutton. They
include men in rude shanties in
Australia and New Zealand, half
breeds on the wide plains of Argen-
tine, little boys in Belgium, Germa-
ny, and France Monaghan rovers
in China and Tartar herders on the
Russian steepes are among the num-
Der. There are also Peruvians and
Uruguayans, all of whom attend to
sheep whose flesh or fleece finally
reaches this country.

tons of pepper. The United States
imported more than eight tons Of it

some other serious form of kidney
complaint.
