SWEETENING SUGAR.
now Poor CtuiillfioN Are Drought
to the Standard.
There are certain kinds of sugaT
which fall short of the required stand
ard of sweetness, and these sugar®
have to be sweetened artificially.
There are some establishments in Eu
rope where they do this kind of thing.
You are taken Into the sweetening de
partment, and you see cones of sugar
ready to be operated on. A cone is
placed over an apparatus, apex down
ward. You notice many little holes In
this apparatus close to the apex or
point of the cone. Some thicklsh liquid
Is poured on the flat end of the cone,
•nd then the machinery is set In mo
tion.
The holes become the mouths of suc
tion tubes, nnd the sweetening liquid
Is drawn through the cone, giving It
the necessary quality.
Another Interesting fact In connec
tion with this article Is that some of
the pieces of "lump sugar" are really
made up of dust or fragments pressed
together.
If you will examine certain pieces
you will observe that the crystal for
mation of good sugar is not to be seen,
and you will also discover that these
closo grained "lumps" take longer to
dissolve, though, of course, all sugar
that takes a long time to melt Is not
occessarilj made up stuff.—London

do the city store—we make only a very moderate price in each
season and our reduced prices are not so great as those of city
stores.
A Mint About Suit Styles.
Jacket styles—the prevailing cut is eton or pony, many made with ve-t effect
lined with white or lignt colored satin, the trimming is of narrow persian b r aisa,
colorless of course, belt with each jacket. Skirts are the popular walking length
pleated effect. Fabrics are the smaller cheeks, plaids and mixed fabrics, in lijfht
shades, bix.es for mits or lady at prices ranging ftom 155.00 to 25.(X).
New Spring Coats and Jackets.
Here again the prominence are the plaids and checks though not so loud or
prounounccd as the winter styles are. Of course there are the plain colored cov
erts that are good every spring. The styles are loose fitting in pony and hip length
and tight fitting double breasted styles. They come without or with velvet collar.

PEOPLE OF BRITTANY.
Tlic Women lonlly Raid ni(l Ihr
Mostly Dr«ii>KUrdu.
•Hie women, not ttie men, go bald In
Brittany," said a barber. "They go
bald where It shows most—above the
ears. Women, quite bald above the
ears, are as common In Brittany as
buldheuded men are with us.
"Brittany is a granite strewn, hilly,
well wooded country In northwestern
France, overlooking the sea. It is New
Hampshire, with the sea added. The
Breton peasants speak a language
which resembles Welsh. They hate
strangers, and tjjey wear a peculiar
costume.
"This costume Is wtiat causes the
baldheaded woman. One part of It, the
coif, or headdress, a cap of white linen,
requires that the hair be drawn back
very taut from the temples. Drawn
back thus, as taut as it will go, it be
gins to disappear at the age of twenty
five, and by the time she Is thirty-five
or forty the Breton peasant woman
looks as if she were the victim of some
horrible disease, for, from her temples
to well behind her ears, she is as bald
as an egg.
"The men, on ttie contrary, are never
bald. For one reason, they work bare
headed. For another, they belong to
the low, animal type of man that pre
serves a head of thick, coarse hair to
the end. They are a nasty lot, the men
of lirlttany—drunk every day or two
putting all the work on their wives,
shouting ribald Insults in the Breton
tongue at tourists."—St Louis Globe-

THE BUTTE HILL.
Where Fortnnm Were Ma4e aai
Spent Inn T)ay.
When Daly bad acquired the proper
ties surrounding the Anaconda, be
opened up the Butte hill. One must
have a vivid imagination to picture to
himself the growth of Butte from that
time on durlug Marcus Daly's life.
Fortunes were made and spent in a
day. An army of men descended into
the mines daily to strip them of tlieli
treasure, huge forests were despoiled
of their timber to still. and shore up
the excavations and protect the earth
above, for these copper veins are often
100 feet wide. Immense smokestacks
began to vomit their cloiuls of smudge
from scores of furnaces scattered over
the hill; the inoan and clank of huge
pumps could be heard In the depths
forcing the water to the surface; the
pound of hammers and the steudy im
pact of drills sounded everywhere,
while the earth trembled and bellowed
with distant underground explosions.
Great hollows, like cathedral* naves,
were scooped out, where the treasure
had lain in the rock ribbed earth.
Horses and mules were blindfolded
and lowered into the mines—where
their hides, like the gray beards of the
old miners, soon took on the greenish
color of the copper which saturates ev
erything below the surface. The Butte
hill soon became a vertiable under
ground city— C. P. Connolly in Mc-
Clure's Magazine.
Value* of FntM nnd OIIm.
There Is a remarkable misapprehen
sion, particularly among many per
sons of the more intelligent class of
our people, says the Dietetic and Hy
gienic Gazette, as to the food value of
the fats and oils. The muscle or red
meat Is a valuable source of proteid,
but the excessive consumption of pro
teid Invites various diseases which flg
ure very prominently in the causes of
death. The fats and oils increase our
resistance against cold and some of
the causes of disease. The health of
many so called scrofulous children
would be improved by teaching them
to eat more fat. Fats in abundance
constitute a very essential part of the
dietary of the tuberculous patient. A
larger proportion of the fatty elements
of foods would go a long way in add
ing to the robustness of many persons
nnd saving tliem from the subsequent
development of tuberculosis.

UNIFORM STEPS.
'■hem Many Falls •uwaatflira
Would He Averted.
Falls on staircases are of rattier Cara
mon occurrence, especially in houses
i where the stairs are steep, dark or
built with sharp turns. The frequent
causes of serious falls have suggested 1
that the likelihood of accident of ttils
kind would be lessened consideraOly
If all steps were built according to a
standard of height and breadth.
A child's fall on the stairs Is apt to
I* bad enough, and for an adult It
may have serious consequences, but
for an aged person the result Is" aot
unlikely to be fatal; hence it is held
that the construction of staircases de
serves more attention than Is ordina- j
rlly paid to it.
The trouble is that stair eflmblng Is 1
not a natural method of progression |
for the human being. A child may j
learn to walk with ease, but it Is a
long time before It can ascend a stair- !
way in an upright position without
losing Its balance. Stairs have been
brought about by necessity, however, j
and the ordiuary person has become se
accustomed to them that he dashes up
and down them without paying aay
more heed to his steps than if he weie
I walking on a surface level. Motlou be
| comes purely mechanical, without any
i effort of will, and the muscles of the
I leg automatically adjust themselves
i so as to lift the foot to the height of
i the steps on the stairway most fre
quently used. The stride unconscious
ly becomes adapted to a certain height
I in taking steps.
I This unconscious estimate of helglit
I often Is the cause of many falls. When
| a different stairway is used the foot Is
j unaccustomed to the pitch, and hence
| a trip Is likely to occur. On narrow
I and steep staircases there should bt a
i hand rail on each side. The instinctive
| clutch following a stumble would
i mean the saving of many limbs and
j heads. But the surest way to obviate
| accidents would be to standardize all
stairways, at least in the matter of
• height.—New York Press.

PLAN TO ENLARGE
CAPITOL GROUNDS
State Officials and Members of tfce
House and Senate Favorable.
The Fox Bill So Drawn That the
Property Must Be Acquired
at a Fair Price.
fTarrlebure. Jan. 29. —At the recep
tion by the Harrisburg Board of Trade
last week to Governor Stuart and
other officers of the state government,
to the members of the legislature and
to the Legislative Correspondents' As
sociation. the subject of the extension
of Capitol Park was referred to indi
rectly by Governor Stuart in his
speech. While he did not in terms
commit himself he very clearly indi
cated that he was in favor of the en
terprise, saying that he understood
what was wanted and that he believed
the legislature, which he said is of
unusually high character, could be de
pended onto do whatever was for the
best interests of the state.
Anyone who knows conditions sur
rounding the capitol knows that the
enlargement of the park, as proposed,
is of prime importance to all the peo
ple of the state.
Other speakers referred to the mat
ter more directly. Senator DeWalt,
who spoke for President Pro Ten.
Woods, of the senate, who was un
avoidably absent, declared that while
Pennsylvania ha 3 the most magnificent
and most beautiful capitol of any state
in the Union, Its surroundings were
utterly inadequate and mean. He
pledged himself and his fellow-mem
bers to vote for any proper bill for the
enlargement of the grounds as pro
posed. These sentiments were heartily
applauded by Hie senators and repre
sentatives, as well as by everybody
else in the great auditorium, which
was filled with the leading members of
the state government and the general
assembly and the most prominent busi
ness and professional men of Harris
burg.
No one should be deluded by the
statements of chronic kickers and
pullbacks that this is a Harrisburg en
terprise and for the benefit of Harris
burg. It Is a great public improvement
for the benefit of the people of the
whole state, which the people of Har
risDurg recommend because they arc
on the ground and see the necessity
for It. There is no pecuniary or specu
lative Interest whatever behind this
movement.
The people of the state can rest as
sured of this.
The following Is a summary of the
provisions of the bill to provide for
the extension of Capitol Park intro
duced in the senate on Monday even
ing. January 21, by Senator John E.
Fox.
The governor shall appoint three
commissioners, none of whom shall be
Interested directly or indirectly in any
of the property to be acquired, who
shall constitute the Capitol Park ex
tension committee, whose work shall
be completed and which shall expire
by limitation June 1, 1911. Any va
cancy in the commission shall be filled
by appointment by the governor for the
unexpired term.
The commission Is authorized to ac
quire title in the commonwealth to all
the land between the present Capitol
Park on the west, the Pennsylvania
railroad on the east, North street on
the north and Walnut street on the
south, containing about 14 acres, ex
clusive of streets.
No land shall be actually taken by
the commonwealth until the city of
Harrlsburg shall by ordinance provide
for the vacation of all the streets, al
leys and other highways in that sec
tion without any liability on the part
of the commonwealth for damages.
The commissioners may acquire the
land by purchase at reasonable prices
to be agreed upon between them and
the owners, but if they cannot agree
the commissioners may on 60 days no
tice to the owners of their intention to
do so take possession of the land and
such possession shall vest absolute
title in the commonwealth.
The commissioners may assess the
damageß after full hearing on due no
tice to the owners. Jf the owners are
not satisfied they can appeal to the
Dauphin county court for the fixing of
damages in the usual way.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$1,600,000 or as much as may be neces
sary for the payment of the real estate
taken.
As will be seen there can be no spec
ulative snake concealed in this bill.
The commission is to be appointed by
Governor Stuart. Probably none of
them will be residents of Harrisburg
or Dauphin county. No unfair prices
can be paid for the land because in case
of disagreement the price after full
hearing and inspection will be fixed by
a Jury of view subject to confirmation
by the court. None of the money ap
propriated will probably be required
this year, as it will take months for
the preliminary work of the commis
sion to be (l«n«.
The disbursement of the 91.600,M0
or no much of it as may be necessary,
provided for in the bill, will extend
over a period of four years, so that
there will be no draft on the treasury
in any one year that will at all Inter
fere with proper provision for the state
charitable and penal institutions, the
public schools and the making of good
roads. •. *
Any one wlio is familiar with the sit
uation must see that: this is great pub
lic improvement that every considera
tion of good business demands should
be made now. Unless the property is
secured at this time it is sure to en
hance in value and is bound in the near
future to be built up with large fac
tories and warehouses that will entire
ly shut off the view of our magnificent
e&pltol from the « a:st and from the sight
of persons who pass through on train*.
Communications received from lead
ing editors in every county show that
the public sentiment throughout the
state is overwhelmingly in favor «112
this great work.
