(Philadelphia Bulletin.) The peruse, 'the Continental Sah- beth, has long been employed by many writeras if it were descriptive of one of the last stages of depravity and de- gradation. Itut there ie an element of much exaggeration in this conception.' For it may be doubted whether there lee on the whole; a more agreeable sight to contemplate us an exhibition of human happiness than may be found in the streets, the gardens, the parks and the other places of public emit in Paris and Berlin, and Rome and Brussels, and. Vien- na, and Venice, and lelumelt and Ams- terdam. and other great cities in the filet day of the week. Disorder is exception- al; intoxication is rarely visible, and the uppermost empreasion welch the dew produces is that of wholesome domestic, enjoyment. Tho Catholics wlio come out of the Madeleine in Paris after they have had their hours of worship are not more inclined to the Bois de Boulogne than the Protestants who have listened to a sermon in the Lutheran Cathedral in Berlin aro to the Thiergaden and its bibulous joys. The Catholic priest and the Protsetant pastor may be seen in the same 'garden quaffing their beer or their wine, perhaps also tin smoking and listening to the fine or- chestra or band music which is in or- der at many pieces. Even in, Holland, where Calvinism has long had a strong- hold, Sunday is a day of out-of-door pleasure, honest drinking and abundance of family recreation. To some worthy churchman there the idea of a Sunday such as Philadelphia has seems to be al- most inconceivable, as I have found. when describing to them the silence of many of our chief streets on that day, the absence of music and diversion with- in the city and the inability to pro- cure drink unless it is bought dal -les - tinder. But there is a growing feeling on the continent that the -number of persons who are employed on the first day of the week in ministering to the comfort and happiness of others is larger than it should be, This feeling is particularly noticeable in Paris, where an agitation for Sunday reform has been in pepgress for some time past. This has grown chiefly out of the demands of labor or industrial organizations and is based for the most part, on the principle that ev- ery employee is entitled, to one day of rest in every seven—a right which re- cent French legislation has undertaken to guarante. It is not uncommon, now, for example to .find the principal barber shops closed for the day or, when one is shaved on a Saturday, to be notified with much politeness by the barber that it will not be possible to shave monsieur the next day, or that he will need to make seine special prevoyance. The movement has extended also also to cafes and restaurants, and places of amuse- ment, but so far as I have been able to learn, the purpose is not to bring about a closing of these places on Sunday, but to secure a. re -organization in their sys- tem so that the employees will have ono day off in each week, even if popular custom will not 'enable Sunday to bo made that day, for example. The waiters, for example, can have Tuesday or Wed- nesday as their day of rest, and the actors, it is ,said, would not be unwilling to have the theatres closed on Monday night, ordinarily the dullest night of tho week in Parisian theatres. The compromises which common sense, as well as a regard for the diversity of habits in thickly populated communities, suggest in the treatment of the Sunday question, seem to be the usual outcome of the differences of honest opinion on the enforcement of Sunday laws in Euro- pean cities. Thus in London, which is not a city of the "Continental Sunday," and yet which would offer much gra.ve concern to a Philadelphia Sabbatarian of the most rigid echool, the problems which its vast complex population causes on the first day of the week have just been partly inquired into by a Parliamentary Committee . This committee has been responsive to the sentiment which holds the first day of the week in favor not simply on the ground of religion or wor- ship, but chiefly of rest or cessation from labor. The general conclusion at which it arrived was that there could • Cure For The Blues ONE MEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED Health Fully Restored and the Joy of Life Regained.

Lynn, •• tar ailvlea* be no &mist whatever of the importance of one day entirely for that putpose, so fer as it could be thus set aside with a due regard for the necessary and reaeons able convenient things which enter into the life of a great community. It res cognized the fact that there was an in creasing public opinion in Eugland against Sunday trading and that this was largely due to the agitation eons ducted by associations of shop employs ees, of white the principa one* were Amalgamated Union, of Sbop Assistants and the .National Society of Grocers' As- sistants. But while the value of a law which would restrict Sunday trading was freely conceded, the wisdom of making certain exemptions was strongly insist- ed upon as a condition virtually indin pensnble to the enforcement of the re- strictions themselves. It was pointed out that among these exceptions should be the sale of refreshments, including sweets or confectionery, presumably for consmnption at once, or during the day; the sale of medicines and of milk and the sale of newspapers, magazines and pert, °dimes. In addition it was recommead- ed that certain hours should be designat- ed when such nrticles as bread, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit and ice Might be sold. These hours, it was thought, ac- cording to what they considered to be the wants and the conditions of the po- ple in each city or town. No action whatever was taken, in dis- missing, nt close range the sale of liquor on Sunday. It seems that the commit- tee did not look upon this plume of the subject as one which they were expected to deal with. The fact is that there aro numerous Sabbatarians in London who are anxious to have legislation by which all the "pubs" would be forced to dose their doors from Saturday night to Sunday morning. But the 'possibil- ity tent such an innovation may take piece is regarded by most practical men in London as too remote to be worthy of serious consideration. Such a law I have been told, would be the signal for a general mob uprising and no min- istry responsible foe it could. stand on its legs very long without a resort to violence. As if is, the public houses aro not open on a Sunday in the morn- ing and the afternoon. They are per- mitted, however, to throw open their doors at 0 o'clock. From that hour un- til after midnight in many parts of the city they are in full blast the dame ne en any ther night, women of the work- ing population or of the wage earning class being almost as numerous among the tipplers as the men. But while the committee apparently was influenced by the principle that here it migett be best to let well enough alone, thererwas o dis- position to place some restrictions on cigar stores. at least to the extent of suggesting that the sale of tobacco, pipes and 'other requisites for smoking should only be allowed during the hours when the public houses are licensed to be open. 4 - • A WORD TO CANDY EATERS. Reason Why Most People Eat Too Much Sweets. The articles of food which go to make up the ordinary diet of mankind, says the Youth's Companion, aro of two class- es—those which go to form the frame- work of the body, the bone and the mus- cle, and those which supply the fuel by which the machine is run. These are, roughly speaking, the meats and the sweets. There is still another class, al- liel to the sweets, namely, the fats; but these need not be considered here. They constitute a very useful ingredient in the diet, and are seldom taken in excess, ex- cept perhaps by persons who are them- selves too fat;i but. by the majority of mankind the _entre taken in too small rather than in too great amount. It is in regard to the eating of candy that a word of dilution is necessary. If we lived. only on meat, eggs, and the non -starchy vegetables, such as peas, beans, spinach, and cabbage, the addition of candy and sweets would bo most com- mendable. The body must have sugar in sonic form in order to enable it to do its work; but it should be remembered that sugar is the coal of the human machine, and every engineer knows that too much coal will impair the efficiency of his boiler. If the engine is working to its utmost capacity, and the draughts are all open, almost any amount of fuel will be consumed, and will give out energy, and if the damper is closed, the addition of coal beyond the normal requirement is not only of no service, but is an evil. It is the same with the'human mech- anism. An active boy or man engaged in hard work can take an tamest unlim- ited amount of sweets and starchy foods so long as he does not restrict the am- ount of proteid food (meats and legum- inous vegetables); not only without harm, but with benefit. Women and men engaged In sedentary permits will eat much candy at their peril. There is no doubt that too much of it is eaten. . It is taken at the end of a dinner composed largely of potatoes, rice, bread and other starchy foods which the digestive juices turn into sugar,. or nib- bled between meals, and in this way al- together too much sugar is taken for the needs of the body. The result is a clogged liver, resulting in gouty symp- 'toms! and even indiabetes.; digestion is impaired, and the nitrogenous elements aro not assimilated, so that waste is not repaired. It should be remembered that the cer- eale are composed almost entirely of starch, which is transformed in the body into sugar, and that those who live on them, under the mistaken notion that meat is harmful, cannot eat candy as well without serious risk.

Rheumatism is rooted en the blood— that is a medical fact every poor rheu- matic sufferer should know. Liniments and 'outward applications cannot pos- sibly cure rheumatism. They are a waste of Money, and while the sufferer is using them the disease is steadily growing worse—is slowly 'but surely. taking a firmer grasp 'won the entire e7stem. Rheumatism must be treated through the blood, That is the only way in which the poisonous acid can 'be driven. out. Dr. William& Pink Pilis actually make new blood and thus at - ways cure rheumatism. Every dose of these pills helps to snake new, rich, red blood, which sweeps the poisonous acid from the system, loosens the aching. joints and muscles and gives the dim- matic new health ;free from pain. Anteing those •3410 C0.11 bear witness to the truth of these statements is Miss. Doesinet, Langlois, of St. Jerome, Que. For Weita'y months she suffered from rheu- matism and had begun to think she was incurable. "I eould not straighten up," says. Miss Langlois. "My limbs were almost useless, so stiff were they. For many mantles I endured such pains as only rheumatic sufferers can understand. Although only thirty years of age the suffering I endured actually made m,e look like an• old woman. I used lini- ments and tried sever& medicines, but got not the slightest help until almost by chance my attention was directed to Dr. Williams:' Pink Pilis. I began tak- ing them, and in; the course of a few weeks I could see they were helping me. Iattile by tittle the °pain, began to go, and the t'ff to Y joint. I continued taking the pills for several months, when every symptom of the trouble had disappeared. I have not felt a twinge of rheumatism since, and I bless the day Dr. Williams' Pink PliP1113Came to ;my notice." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills never fail to cure rheumatism, because they go right to the root of the trouble in the ,blood. That is why these pills cure all the common ailments dem bo' poor and, watery 'Mood, such as anae- • mitt, headochea and backaches, indigese don, neuralgia, St. Vitus' danee, gen- eral weakness, and the distressing irre- gularitiee that afelict women and grow- , ing girls.

This Is eventually packed onto a bullock sled. Owing to the steepness and slippery - floss of the streets, there are practically no wheeled vehicles in the place, locomotion being accomplished on horseback in .hatn- mocks, toboggan sledges, or bullock cars. Merchandise is carried by pack mules or dragged about on bullock sledges. All this adds to the picturesqueness of the streets. Each car 1s drawn by a pair of hvaietiheneyt. bullocks, in charge of a man and The former prods the beasts with a stick and shoulders the car round sharp corners, while the latter leads the way, and occasion- ally lubricates the runners by placing a grease -laden rag 011 the ground for the car to run over. The animals ar treated to countenance rounds of abuse and encouragement, admin- istered to them in the form of heartrending shrieks and shout/3. The oars look like gondola cabins on skates. No greater speed than a slow walk is in- dulged in. The roads and pathways for miles around are bautifully laid by hand with little black pebbles, which aro frequently arranged in intricate patterns. These pebbles have, through constant wear, been flattened on the top, and being covered with grease from the cars are difficult to walm k upon.ake To matters 'worse, wherever a road climbs a hill, its surface, in place of steps, is crossed horizontally by a series of slippery rounded ridges to walk on which Is to the human animal a science and an art, for they are measured to fit and tread and facilitate the climbing of bunters only. Going uphill, it is best to amble, taking two ridges with one foot and one with the other, and, coming down, beat to sit down and trust to one's breeches or walk and trust to Providence. re obviate these difficulties the natives wear brown leather to -boots with soft soles. A favorite way of coming down into town from the heights is to hire a sledgLco= two or three miles up and toboggan The sledge Is saved from destruction by a couple of natives, who run or haung on behind and guide the flying vehicle round the sharp curves and dangerous corners en- countered an the descent.

Inspectors Are Busy—Before and After Killing, Cattle Must Be Examined and Marked if Fit to Serve as Food. Philadelphia Bulletin: The National Pure Food Law, which wont into effect on. Oct. 1 and under which a force of Philadelpbet inspectors are now kept busy, is expected to correct, under pro- per enforcement, the nutny evil e whose exposure has shocked the peoples of this country and abroad and made unsavory the reputations of not a few slaughter- ers and packers. The law, broadly con- sidered, covers all that relates to inspec- tion, sanitation, tanking, labelling, re- inspection, dyes and preservatives, and the preparation of meats and food pro- ducts. It takes cognizance of all evi- dences of diseases in cattle to be or that have been slaughtered and provides for their condemnation both on the hoof and in camases. As is generally known, all slaughter- ing, packing., meat -canning, salting, ren- dering or smiler establishments whose meats or meat products, in 'whole or in part, enter into inter•state or foreign commerce shall have ins'pection, unless exempted from the same by the Seere- "Lary of Agriculture. Only farmers and retail butchers or dealers supplying their customers may be exempted under the law, but they are, nevertheless, subject the provisions of the law, which t planes a penalty upon any person who shall sell or offer for sale or tramper- tation for interstate or foreign corn- meree any meats or food products which aro diseasecl or in any way unwhole- some. Exemption from inspection is se- cured by making application to the Sec- retary of Agriculture, but exemption does not mean that the Government ig- nores those who are exempt. For such there are provided certificates for use with transportation and other companies and persons in securing the movement of the products. Must Preserve Cleanlinees. The exemption plan is for the purpose ' of overcoming the obviously impracti- cable impossibility of having an dnspec- tor at every little slaughter house. The Law as pertaining to meat inspection was framed for the purpose of reaching ' the great establishments in the West. There are, however, concerns of lesser magnitude, doing both an inter -state and foreign comnterce, which maintain inspection, beliefing that such .policy is profitable .Though the law provides for exemption, it may be questionable whe- ther some of these would be granted exemption if they desired it. One thing is made very clear, and that is that no establishment not in a sanitary condi- ; tion can have inspection, for such es- ; atblishment cannot secure an exemption certificate, and it is the evident purpose of the law to compel cleanliness under either .plan. Retail butchers and deal- ers who have been ,exempted will be given numbers by which their products 'will be known. Where inspectors are employed office room, with light, heat and rent free, must be providedfor their exclusive use. Under the subject of sanitation pro- vision is made for such things as white- washing, Tainting, washing or scraping the walls and pillars, as may be most practicable; thorough cleansing of trucks, trays, platforms, racks, tables and all cutlery, tools, utensils and ma- chinery used In handling and preparing the meats and products; daily changes of aprons and such protective garments as operators may use.; light and ventila- tion for storage rooms; preventing per- sons afflicted with tuberculosis or other infectious or contagious disease from working where carcasses are dressed or otherwise prepared, and compelling but- chers to wash their hands in a pre- scribed disinfectant. Where inspection is demanded the cattle are to be examined both before and after death. In the first instance the animals are inspected before being allowed to enter the place where they. are slaughtred. At the time of slaugh- ter the victims are examined, every por- tion being gone over carefully'. The head, tails, thymus gland, bladder, caul, entire viscera and &I parts of oled used in .the preparation of meat food products are retained in such a manner as to pro - serve their identity until after the post- mortem examination has been completed, in order that they may be identified in case a carcass is condemned. All ani- mals showing symptoms or suspected of being affected with any disease whieh, under the regulations, would probably cause their condemnation when slaugle, torte shall be marked by affixitig to the , ear or tail a metal tag as evidence to this effect. The diseases that are noted as the most virulent and which muse the anis mals showing totes of them to be cons damned are anthrax, blackleg, homer- rhagle septicemia'pyemitt and septi- cemia, rabies, tueeteulosis, tetanus, ma- lignant epizootic catarrh, hog cholera, and swine plague. If anthrax be pre- I sent in an animal every portion of the ; carcass, irreseeetive of the extent of the disease is tanked. Other disease who presence is evident in greater or lesser degree may necessitate eondemnation 19 whole or in part. The "tanking" of eis- eased cattle is the process whereby they atom in hermetically settled teaks and, I are rendered wholly unfit for food, by in order to prevent any possible fraud ; in this eonneetion„ 11 suff idea quantity of coloring matter or other substance is used to make the destruetion complete.

The same mark le I4tieed on cloth wrappings. Likewise Use words., Inspeeted and Condemned" are trtarizoti upon condemned eareasses. I:pon smoked meats branding fr011it are toted. Canned, potted or canvas -covered meets and meat products come in for the same careful supervision and stamp- ing by the inspectors, the 0. K. marks* being, placed upm the labelwhen the package does not admit of it being stamped. The law forbids upon label the use oi trade news that are iu any way false or deceptive, Upon this point the maw specifically states that no in- gredient not contained in the product may be in any ways used in the trade name to deteguate it as the principal in- gredient in the package. Before being admitted into any cook- ing, canning, sausage or other depart- ment of an establiehment, also before being packed for sbipment, and at ascii times as may be deemed necessary, till dressed camases or parts thereof that have been previously Inspected and pass- ed Beall bo reinspected by an inspector or his essistants, and if upon any such re- inspection any part found to have be- come in any Way unfit for hulnan food the part shall be condemned. Additional precautions are also taken to protect the public against impurities in the prepara- tion of meats for sausages and other ground or chopped form. The use of all drugs, chemicals, preservatives or coloring matter is forbidden in or upon sausages or chopped meats.

Occasiennlly we read in some of the fly-by-night publications, alleged to be devoted. to the interests of newspapers and magazines, flipaint reference to a class of the enlightened public wbielt they differentiate as "the barber -shop readers." This classification casts a slur not only upon the barbershops,. but upon all their patrons and the publica- tions found on file in the shops. It has been the custom of a good' many persons to affect a certain sort of disdain for the barber, es if wielders of the razor were beneath their notice. Latterly, this supercilious disdain has been ex- tended, it seems, to patrons of the bar- ber -shop, and publications which the Barber patronizes. Jeist why the barber should be regarded as any lower in the social scale than the carpenter, the builder, or the storekeeper, eve cannot understand. His patrons include repre- sentatives of all the learned professions, linen of wealth, social, poiiticai, and sci- entific distinction. Journals which treat the "barbershop readers" as a clientele of no consequence are greatly misled. Let any patron of a hariber-shop look Over the publications he finds on his table. Among them he will discover no longer the cheap sensational prints, but the best of the daily papers, the choicest magazines and weeklies. There may be a sprinkling still of lighter literature, but it is only a sprinkling. The barber caters to the pea*. He eliminatets so- cial distinctions. He knows no classes. Any wan who is dean, and has the price, can have a chair. ' KO, CtetilltNCt *Orinnn• lam-Buk Tested b Kw*. 11**011. Judge a remedy by its sums.

(By Prof. IL L. Hutt.) In commercial orcbarding, the business end of the enterprise, that of marketing the crop to the best advantage, is second. only in importance to that of producing fruit of the best quality. It is in this particular that there is the greatest need for improvement at the present time. There are hundreds of apple growers who can grow first- class fruit to every one who can place it on the market, when and where it will being the best price. The growers who make the moot out of their apples are those who keep in touch with the best markets at home and abroad. During the shipping season these men watch the market reports daily, and unless prices are satisfactory they hold their fruit tin - til good prices prevail. The great ma- jority, however, of those who have ap- ples to sell wait for some buyer to come along and sell for whatever he chooses to offer, usually from fifty cents to a dollar a barrel, or a lump sum far the crop on the trees. The latter plan is nothing less than gambling in apples, and in either case the owner seldom gets one-half what his fruit is really worth, 11 111 were properly handled. The remedy for this state of affairs, and what is going to put the apple trade on a better business basis, is for the growers in each apple growing sec- tion to unite and form a co-operative association. through which the grading, packing and marketing of the fruit may be accomplished. During the past year a number of these associations have been formed in various, parts of the Province, and the prices obtained by some of them for last year's apples have made the growers en- ehusiastie over this method of handling the crop. An effective co-operative association for this purpose involves the selection of an honest, wide-awake business manager, and the erection of a central peeking and storage house at the most convenient point for shipment. Through such an organization, boxes and barrels can be purchased wholesale to better advantage than they can be obtained by single in- dividuals; the grower mit devote his whole attention to ga.therinif the crop sat the proper season and delivering it 19 good condition at the central packing house; the association relieves hire of all care and responsibility in grading, packing and marketing; and with this work in the hands of expert packers, the grade of fruit can be made uniform, and the packing can be done properly, which, in time, inspires confidence in the pur- chasing public. In short, the co-opera- tive system of .handling the apple crop, under proper management, assures the consumer of a better product, and realiz- es to the grower a greater profit.—Press bulletin from the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Canada. atism A Prominent Business Man Stahel* liflsrteputa.tion on the Merits of t his New rikernesly for the Dread Disease. In these days, when every preparation is carefully analysed and tested, only those of genuine merit can come unscathed through the or- deal—and they have every cause to deserve the confidence of the public.
