A JOKER
IN SUGAR

Perhaps you have noticed that
the old-fashioned brown sugar
ike our mothers used to cook
with, has practically disappeared
from the market.
There's a reason. The reason
consists Of joker in the
Payne-Aldrich Tariff law. under
what is known as Dutch Stand
ard No. 49, test.
When this test was fixed it
meant the barring out of the old
fashioned brown sugar, cheap
and good, and that is why this
brand of sugar has disappeared
from the market.
Whenever a tariff bill is in the
making the agents of the sugar
trust r on the ground to see
that the Dutch Standard' is
maintained. They had no diff
Guilty in getting the makers of
the Payne-Aldrich bill to accede
to their wishes.

Valuable Find Of Manuscript.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery Of illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging as
far back as 1880, has just been made
in the library at Oxton Hall, says the
Nottingham (Eng.) Guardian.
It came about In this way: The
vicar Of the parish, Rev. w. Laycock,
obtained permission to go through the
books in the library at his leisure.
While so doing his curiosity was
aroused by a locked and forgotten
cupboard therein, which he proceeded
to Investigate. Its contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes.
which confirmed the impression con-
veyed by. the antiquity of their ap-
pearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage Of the art OF print
Ing, which was introduced into this
country in 1S47.
The majority Of them are folio vol
umes, and with one exception they are
all in their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planned boards OF
solid oak, and the books are bound
with stout leather laces, the backing
and lining being fragments of Hum
mated manuscripts Of a much earlier
date, cut up as waste with ruthless
Indifference.

HELPED OUT GREAT NOVELIST.
Schoolgirl Friend Of HIs.Dauehtsr Sup
piled Names for Thackeray's
Great Story.

A delightful Thackeray anecdote
(which, SO far as one remembers, is
new has turned up at the dinner OF
the Colquhoun club. The guests in
cluded Philip Newman, who recount
ed that his wife when girl happened
to go to the same school as the now
elist's daughters and afterwards kept
up an intimacy with the family.
One day, when she was out for =
walk with Miss Thackeray, the latter
mentioned that her father had started
a new story but was at loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name. The fu7
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fiance
in her thoughts, suggested that his
name, philip" might serve the pur-
pose. a
I At that moment who should come
up unobserved behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself. Making hiS
presence known by laying hand on
a shoulder of each of the young peo-
pie, he asked why they were 80 deep
in conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray, turning around, revealed
the subject under discussion and told
him her friends suggestion as to the
hero's name. f+
Admirable" was Thackeray's YER
dict. "And now, my DEAR" he went
on, what is your own name" Char
lotte." well, that's very nice name
too," was the response, and Thack-
cray wore q look of satisfaction.
Tho result was the tale called "Tho
Adventures of Philip" in which the
principal woman character figures as

DANGEROUS B COLOR is BLUE.
Men Who Voyage Above the Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering Of 3
Their Balloons. K

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon, don't buy blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why. According to the res
searches Of M. Reynaud, caoutchouc 10
strongly attracted by the ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with quartz tube, which is power
full source Of such rays. This fact
has practical bearing In connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoptchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis
covery that the envelopes suffer dur
ing ascensions, and this is explained
by the greater effect Of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color,
ing matter on the envelopes. and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. M. Reynaud con-
siders that red is the best color to
use, as 1t not only absorbs the ultra
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to share in the
bad action Of the suns rays upon bal.
looms.
