Something Every Housewife Should Do.

In the April Woman's Home Ion,
panion, John Phillips Street, pure food
commissioner of Connecticut, writes
very interesting article showing how
good many housewives fail to realize
That the pure food law does not pre-
vent the manufacture and sale OF adult
terated goods. What it provides Is that
ali Goods must be labeled. Read your
label is Mr.. Streets advice to all
housewives. Following is an extract;
MANY important foods, such as milk
molasses, vinegar and lard are bought
in bulk. These come to the dealer
properly labeled. and the individual Gus
TONER has perfect right to ask the
privilege of examining the label on the
large container A strict Interpretation
of the law would require the dealer
TO state the fact that he is selling adult
terated food in bulk from contalner
properlv labeled. This is rarely
neyer-done. But if the customer asks
frankly for information concerning inc
bulk preparations she is buying, the
dealer or clerk must show the labei.
THE housekeeper who at the store or
over the telephone orders merely quart
of vinegar has no righs to complain II
the product sent her is of an inferior
grade. chemically adulterated. II she
had asked for cider malt wine, or
even distilled vinegar and received IN
stead an impure article, then she has
grounds for complaint and can demand
an exchange

BRArTLEBoRo's FORMER FLOODS.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed and Lives Lost.

When the water in the Connecticut
river at Brattleboro rose to an UMPIRE
cedented height last week, it did dam
age which cannot vet be estimated, but
not so much as in two former flood ,,
when the Connecticut ovcrhowed and
DESTROYED property and lives. The great
est flood ever known at Brattleboro
occurred April 90, 1862, when, after
severe winter and depth OF from two
to four feet of snow on the ground, the
temperature jumped to "a degrees IN the
shade on April Is, the rivers rising so
fast that communication between YER
mont and New Hampshire was entirely
cut off at that point. On Sunday, April
90 the waters reached to the top OF
the first story windows at the Fort
Drummer farm and the occupants had to
escape BY boats. That farmer IS re-
ported to have left his pigs and hens IN
the attic for safe keeping. Two dwell
ing houses and several out buildings
were lifted from their foundations and
carried downstream. Bridges were
washed out all over the town and
bridge that swept downstream from
Westmoreland, \. H., stopped at the
end OF the island and DETECTED the wa
tiers so that channel from to IL
feet wide and from 10 to II feet deep
was cut clear across the island, This
food is estimated TO have cost damage
to highways in Brattleboro alone
amounting to $4,000.
The next freshet caused more destruc-
ton OF property and some lives were
lost, but it is not recorded that the
water rose as high as in 1862. This lat.
let freshet occurred Oct. 4, 1869. Adolf
FREDERICK. an employee at the Estey
organ factory, attempted TO escape from
the building after the flood reached It.
and while getting foothold on pile
Of lumber. in order to climb bank, the
pile was swept away in the waters and
the man was carried over the falls to
death. Miss Kittie Bennett, l6-year-
old girl. had taken refuge in the upper
part of the old Centervilles tannery, but
the building collapsed and she was car
ried downstream and drowned. Between
$4,000 and $4,000 damage was done
to the roads of the town and property
estimated at fully 100000 was de-
stroyed.

The Fortunate Eastern Farmer.

Six billions of dollars worth OF farm
produce was sent to market the past
wear and the consumers paid in the
neighborhood of thirteen billions OF dol
lars.
This vast difference was chiefly caused
by the expense of marketing high, slow
freight and long hauls.

The great majority of the people OF
the East live in the cities. They are
nop-producers and their demand is great

is in the East.
There are not only bigger, nearer mar
kets. but lower and quicker freight rates,
better educational facilities and the
most beneficial agricultural state laws.

Three Birthdays a Year.

There Is apparently plenty Of fun for
the child In Sweden In the matter OF
birthdays. but the parent can hardly
be- expected to feel the same, for the
children there do not conflne themselves
to one birthday, but they must have
three. OF course the first one Is the
real birthday. and the other two are
those whose names the Swedish boy
or girl bears. For every day in the
year of the Swedish calendar has It's
own separate name, besides the week
ly names which other nations have.
Sometimes IL the parent gives the child
q second name or q first one that can
not be found in the calendar. the child
loses out on one birthday. And con-
siderable protest must follow, too, when
the child becomes old enough to real
ixe what he Is missing. In the German

Musical Possibilities.

with the reflection that the melodie
possibilities have been exhausted. How
far this IL from being true DR.. Ralph
Dunstan has shown: Even with such
q short musical form as the Anglican
single chant. which consists In It's SIM
pie statement Of the notes, no less
than 100000 different melodies are
possible, without regarding the multi
tudinous differences formed by passing
and auxiliary notes, harmonies and
rhythmical accumulation. Supposing
only one In a hundred Of these tones
to be unsteady Interesting, we have =
possible repertory of 100000 single
chants. And II this be true Of such

dy, with what overwhelming force
