PEROXIDE FLOUR.

Having become SO accustomed to
medical adulterated and generally
! desiccated foods we are not likely to
give any sudden start of alarm or to
take on the attitude of the startled
fawn when we read that many of the
millers who prepare flour are in the
habit of using peroxide of hydrogen to
bleach it, Since the American nation
managed to live for a good many years
in fairly robust health, we must newt
ably reach the conclusion that this
bleached -four has caused no. violent
metabolic upheaval. 1t may even be
that blondined -four is as harmless as
blondined hair; and so far as the man
up tree can perceive, blondined hair
is positively innocuous. for usually ev-
eryone knows it is blondined, and con-
sequently no one is misled in his judg-
ment or made unduly susceptible to its
glittering charm.
The decided blonde who has decided
it herself is universally recognizable,
and wherefore and why, pray, should
not any member of the fair sex change
the tint that nature has bestowed upon
her as often as she may elect, seeing
course. should the doubling Thomas
feel that he must have absolute GER
tainty, it is only necessary that he dip
his finger in chronic acid and apply
the damp digit to the Offering ring
lets-or the suspected flour-whereup-
on the spot viii Immediately turn to
bright cerulean hue that will rival the
heavens on a brilliant day. But then,
of verify, no perfect gentleman would
do this to a blonde, though the sus-
pecting houselZeper might try it, either
on the new stenographer or the new
flour. For years the poets have sung OF
the soft innocence that lies in golden
hair, and while this has been univer-
sally accepted as a poetic truism, it
remained for the jokesmiths to comfort
this innocent thought, and it is not at
all unlikely that some Wiley will arise
and, with horrible mouthings. snatch
the peroxided mantle from the mas
uuerading flour.

LIGHT ON CANALS.

ton as possible. 1t is a wrong policy;
the rivers and harbors improvements
should be granted as large an appro-

there are projects approximating $780,

What can senator Burton do with a

appropriation must be divided into

DOING 1T THOROUGHLY.

San Francisco is profiting by the
lessons of her disaster. She is subter
raueously barricadng herself. Sixty
three cist6rns in as many different
parts of the city were provided in the
pioneer days as d fire protection, prOlJa-
" before there was any regular sys-
ten of water works. Forty of these
were in passive commission, the re-
naming twenty three were forgotten
or had become disused in the unheed-
ing. Capuan days before the fire. These
have now been restored. In addition,
one hundred more cisterns, built of re-
enforced concrete. have been erected,
with a capacity of 10000 gallons each.
There will be three freshwater reser-
Voirs-one on Twin Peaks, 730 feet
high with a capacity of ten million
gallons: one on Ashbury Heights, $40
feet high with a capacity of one mills
lion gallons. and one on Clay street
hin. 500 feet high. with a capacity of
another million gallons. All three of
these systems are interconnected with
double lines of mains. They will be
kept filled with fresh water at all times
from pumping stations in the artesian
belt. Ninety three miles of the best
water piping that can be secured. run
ming from ten inches to forty inches
in diameter will connect with these
reservoirs. These pipes will gridiron
practically all of the city east of De-
Visadero street and north of Twenty
ninth street, covering four-fifths of the
value of the city. Connected with this
system of piping will also be two salt
water pumping stations. The failure
of water pressure at the time of the
great fire was due to a break or
several breaks in the main pipes. The
present piping system is SO arranged
with valves and by-passes that. should
a break occur in any one block or COM
bination Of blocks the break can be
cut out and the remainder of the sys-
TEN continued in perfect working or

Many amusing stories are told of
the illegibility of public mems hand
writing. II Is said that Rufus Choate
wrote three different hands, one which
his clerk could read and he could not,
one which he could read and his clerk
could not ara one which no one could
read Another story is told that the

ned a note to the editor who was in

thing important in the letter as he
could not read word of it. The

THE GOMPERS CASE.

There are two Numerically opposite
views in the Gompers case. Judges
and attorneys see only justice in the
jail sentence as a result of GOmpers'
fragrant violation of the injunction
granted by Judge Gould. Whether the
injunction was right or wrong, ii
should have been binding until re-
voked. The judicial mind will see that
if the example of Gompers were to be
followed by all persons ordered by the
courts to do or not do certain things
there would be no law or respect for
law Willfully violating an order OF
the court is defiance of the law. Law
lessness is anarchy.
The injunction did not concern the
right or wrong of the boycott. The
injunction merely restrained Gompers
from prosecuting a boycott pending the
time when the courts should decide
the merits of the boycott case. The
injunction was temporary, to protect
the stove company until the final de,
cisiOn should be rendered. GOmpers
deliberately violated this injunction
Gompers contends that the injunc'
ton interfered with free speech and
free press. His viewpoint holds that
it is unconstitutional to interfere with
free speech and free press, and that
therefore, the injunction itself was
illegal and wrong. He probably be-
lieves the United States supreme
court will back him up.
From many sides comes opinion that
the Jail sentence will never be served
or that if it is Gompers will become
hero instead of disgraced. Should he
serve, it is forecasted that changes
