LEGLESs AND ARMLESS.

Vet KaVanaueh Was q Daring Rider
and a Famous Sportsman,
Far and away the most interesting
member and In many ways the most
remarkable man who has ever sat In
che house Of commons was the Right
Hon. Arthur Kavanaugh. who sat for
Carlow from 1859 to 1850 under condi
tons which would have been impos.
sibIe for almost any other man.
Kavanaugh. was born without arms
or legs-he was, in fact, a mere trunk
OF man. And yet he performed q
feat from which most men with their
full complement of members might
well have shrunk.
Strapped on 10 his saddle, he was
one OF the most skiIlfuI and daring
riders to hounds in all Ireland On
one occasion. it is said, 1.-The saddle
turned under him, and the horse trot-
ted back to the stable yard with bis
master hanging under him. his hair
sweeping the ground, bleeding pro-
fusely. He merely cursed the groom
with emphatic golubiity. had himself
more safely readjusted and rode out
once more"
So remarkable was the sight of this
pink clad trunk perched on his big
horse that a child who once saw him
dashing out of a wood ran shrieking
TO her mother. exclaiming: ''Oh. mum
my. I've seen Satan himself I've seen
him sure enoughv'
Kavanaugh was also an enthusiastic
yachtsman and was the first to assert
the right Of NJ. P.'s TO moor their craft
opposite the houses OF parliament. He
went on a shooting expedition to Al
bania and published a charming book
on his experiences. illustrated with ad-
mirable photographs taken by himself.
while among his favorite pastimes
We're angling and tree Telling.
His most famous exploit, however.
was his ride from Norway to India.
Accompanied by two friends, he rode
across Russia TO the Caspian sea.
thence TO Astrakhan and Astrabad
and through Persia. laughing at the
peViIs and fatigues of a journey which
might well have daunted even the IA
nous Colonel Burnaby.
KRvanaugh. who was the father OF
four handsome sons and daughters, all
perfectly formed. was carried into the
house Of commons on the back OF an
attendant. and was certainly one of
the keenest and ablest of legislators az
his time.-London T1t-Bits-

WANT ALL BREAD
 TO BE WRAPPED
Detroit Retail Grocers Will Appeal to Board of Health
 to Secure This

Detroit, March 4.-At an enthusias- tic meeting at 147 Jefferson avenue recently, Detroit retail grocers went on record against the sale of unwrap- ped bread by the bakers of the city.
 ''The handling of unwrapped bread l is not only behind the times, but is a real menace to the health of the city," said Secretary James M. Veins of the Grocers, association, "and we propose to put a stop to it. We shall appeal to the board of health to CO., operate with us in compelling bakers to market their product in a sanitary manner.
 Most of the large bakers" said MT. Veins, 'now wrap their bread in. parafined paper, but a good many small ones and a few of. the larger still stick to the old fashioned way. This is especially true in the Polish districts.
 "The young men who deliver the bread often have dirty hands. This dirt rubs off on the loaves which they pile on the counters, and eventually finds it's way into the stomachs of Detroiters who consume the product. And even if the delivery mans hands are clean the unwrapped bread as it taminated by the bacteria-laden street dust, which is necessarily pres ent in all stores.
 Sometimes while the man is pil- ing it on the counter, a loaf falls OH the floor where it might easily come in contact with germs of tuberculosis or some other deadly disease''
 The meeting last night was one Of the largest the grocers ever held in Detroit, and to man they pledged their support to the movement. It was unanimously decided to begin at once a campaign Of education to con- vince the general public of the dan gers which turk in the sale of un- wrapped bread.

The United States government will hold an examination on March A, in this city, for stenographers and type writers, for both Washington and To- cal appointments.

The appointments there are usually made at an entrance salary of sS4O to $500 year, with reasonably rapid advancement. Ex- aminations will also be held for ap- prentice plate printer in the bureau of engraving and printing press feed CT in the government printing office, and for elevator conductor, messenger, watchman and skilled laborer in the departments at Washington. Those wishing to apply should secure the required blank from H. E. Brewer. at the custom house in the Federal building, Hartford, or from Edward B. Stebbins, district secretary. Bosf on, Mass.

JUST WHAT IS
 GOLD STORAGE?
Senator Hepburn Reports on Results of Investigat-
 ing Committee
EGGS GET THREE MONTHS
Many Changes in Bill Intro duced by Senator Lodge for One Year Limit.

Washington, March 4-Senator Hey burn, chairman of the committee on Manufactures, has reported to the Senate the result Of the investiga- tfons of that committee into the question of how long articles of food should be kept, in cold storage with out endangering the health of the consumer.
 The investigation was made in con- nection with the bill introduced by Senator Lodge and intended to pre- vent the sale or transportation. inter state or foreign commerce. of articles of food held in cold storage for more than one year.
 The report of the committee recom- merded a number of changes in the bill as introduced. One of the rec concentrations is that the following articles held i'm cold storage for the periods indicated. instead of one year shall be regarded as having been adul- terated within the meaning of the pure food law:
 months: pork, four months: sheep. four months; lamb. three months; poultry. three months; game. three months; fish, three months; esgs' three months: butter. three months.
 Much of the report is devoted to cold storage eggs It StdSes Cidt tue average quantity of such eggs in New v York city each year Is about 70o. o0O cases. and in Chicago about 1.6U,ooo cases.
 '"There is a strong showing" says the report. made in support of the proposition that the people always trade with the oldest stock. and that when new eggs come into the market they are withheld from the public in order that eggs already becoming deteriorated from storage may pass out ''
 No eggs should be placed in cold storage. says the report. that are pro- duced during the hot months. Such eggs are of an inferior quality. Testi- mony showed. according to the re- port. that eggs produced during the summer would not keep in condition fit for use. even under the most favor able conditions. more than three months. and that often in less than 8 month they would be totally unfit for food.

 original conception and which has
 never been equaled in vaudeville ex-

 act however was of the old school while the offering of Mloffett and

Donald Brian, who helped sing ''The Merry Widow into favor, will be seen in the principal male role. Daisy LeHay is entrusted with the title role and F. Pope Stamper and Carroll McComas make up the other half of quartette of young lovers around whom the plot/o of the piece revolves. "The Dollar Princess is staged in a lavish manner.
