STATE BOARD OF ' HEALTH MAKES RULE

No Galvanized Containers for Lemonade aUFairs.

' The State Board oHealth through H. E. Barnard, headof the pure food department, has put the ban on galvanized containers lor lemonade at fairs, circuses, lawnfetesand similar amusement events. Mr. Barnard and his laboratory force havejust completed a series of experiments in which it was discovered that lemonade, especially when it is made with citric acid, as is permissible under the pure food laws, eafs'thezinc from the container and forms a. solution with the zinc salts thatfis dangerous to health. "Even lemonade made of water, lemons and sugar," said Mr.', Barnard yesterday,' "will eat the zinqjfrom the container.

A SILLYTOY.

The War tie Tootbbrnih Wulat Firs Rcsarded, Colonial diaries and letters make it plain that our unfortunate ancestors suffered mucb from jumping tooth-

acnes, sweueaiaces ana uae-.euriy iimo or forcibie extraction of teeth 'which at a later period might have been eared to render their owners many; years of further service. No wonder, i since the care of the teeth was little understood, and that little often but negligently practiced. Toothpicks were known; the .toothbrush was not, although rough; substitutes were employed, made of 'flattened sticks, split and pounded at one end to stiff, fibrous" fringe. Toothbrushes when first introduced were regarded as by no means important accessories to the toilet, batrather as minor luxuries and suitable: for women only. The diary of, a London merchant trading to the colonies has this entry: "Bought a Toothbrush for my wife, whch, used together with salte water, very strong, and a wasniie of Herbs, she Is told will keep her Teethe from t siting out or getting hollowe. Tba aalte and Heroes may well prove strengthening to her Ctammes wch. are tender, butrfor the rush it seemes but a sIHy Toy, hardly like to ware the worth of ltsprlce and scarce cleanley save when new. But she must have It, being a mew thing -late from France."

In the - famous collection of the letters of the Verney fatally, as well, the toothbrush Is referred to as "an elegant trifle,, now used'-by the ladies of Paris." But when Sally Annis, a colonial belle, wrote of It tovher sister she had, like the London merchant's wife, good hopes of' its proving of more than trifling value. Her seafaring father bad just brought her 'one, along with other gifts. "Besides these, and ye smalle combe, he brt. me a new mouth-brush made of eyvory," she wrote, "the back parte intayed" very pretty with silver: and- ye brissiesJong and stiffe and sett very flrme: wrb.be is assured will help me of my Tooth Akes: wch. you will guess deer Judy I -.do pray i It may."

TO REFORM SCHOOL

All Started When Davidson Passed in an Exciting Crap Game.

FINES ARE BESTOWED.

As the result of "big doings" on Rat Row yesterday afternoon, Elmer Polk, John Henry White and Jerry Davidson were in city court this morning. Polk was fined $1 and costs for assault and battery on Davidson. White was fined $5 and costs for gaming and the charge of assault and battery against him was dismissed. Davidson was state's witness and the charge of gaming placed against him was dismissed, as he furnished the evidence. Polk was charged with gaming, also, and entered a plea of not guilty. His case will be heard tomorrow. All members of the trio are negroes. The three met at the South Sixth street pool room. They agreed to go across the street end to the rear of the blacksmith shop where a game of craps was indulged in. Two other negroes joined the game. The bones were rolled on tho ground, and Davidson made his point so often he soon collected all the money, which amounted to about $3.50. Then came the trouble. Polk told Davidson if he passed he would hit him. Davidson passed and bang went Polk's fist on Davidson's cheek. He rolled to the ground and attempted to regain his feet. A scuffle ensued. The others in the game grabbed the money and skfdooed. Davidson fled through a hole in the fence minus the stakes of the game and smarting under Polk's blows. Polk was consistent in his defense. He claimed he was not in the crap game and did not hit Davidson. White plead not guilty to the fight charge, but admitted rolling the bones. He said he lost 10 cents by the game. This loss will be repaid by the fifteen days he spends in the county jail. Officer Bundy stated today there is a gang of negroes that loafs around the Rat Row joints and waits for a chance to fleece some man, who works. Bundy says the loafers never have money, but wait to find a victim and deprive him of his earnings. He says it is a good thing to get an honest man like Davidson to tell on the bunch.

Best the world Affords. "It gives me unbounded pleasure to recommend Bucklen's Arnica Salve," says J. W. Jenkins, of Chapel Hill, N. C. "I am convinced it's the best salve the world affords. It cured a felon on my thumb, and it never fails to heal every sore, burn or wound to which it is applied. 25c. at A. G. Luken & Co. drug store.

Knpoleon'n Bad Handwriting. M. Houssaye attributes the muddle over orders at Waterloo to Napoleon's execrable handwriting. This was the opinion of the writing master of Alexandre Dumas: "The emperor never, lost a battle except by his bad writing. His officers could never make out what he meant. Remember this, Alexandre, and make your down strokes heavy and your up strokes light." Grouchy declares that during the battle of Waterloo he could not make out whether Napoleon wrote "bataille gagnee" or "batallle engagee," and he conjecturally read "battle gained."

The Frraki of Fate. Here Is a" unique memorial notice from a Georgia exchange: "Once he was nearly swallowed by an earthquake and shortly afterward was blown nearly a quarter of a mile by. a hurricane, but he triumphed over all these afflictions, only to be kicked out ef'lle by a mule that had a mortgage on It and was blind la one eye. Atlanta Constitution.

Other Objection. "Gladly would I die for you!" Her look of hauteur was maintained despite this plea. "You are in error," she replied coldly, "if you think the color of your hair constitutes my chief objection to you." The good night was brief and soon. Philadelphia Ledger.

Easy to Guess How They Got Reputations.

Sheriff Meredith left this morning for Plainfield where he will place Ralph Goodwin, Harry and Clifford Hickman in the reform school. The lads are from Cambridge City. During the time they have been kept in the juvenile department at the county jail the boys showed how they gained their reputations. Nothing was too much for them to attempt.

DACHSHUNDS.

Aa Fighter, of Badger. They Have No Canine Eqli. The good nafred, philosophic German dachshund has always been regarded as more or less of a joke In this country. Even in the fatherland he Is a staple for jesting. His elongated body, his crooked legs, his animated tall, his resemblance to a sausage who could fail to make some sort of Joke about a dachshund? But the dachshund has a very serious side and a work in life. "Dachshund" means "badger dog." Now, the badger is an animal that, generally speaking, needs neither game laws nor sympathy, because he is able to take care of himself and fight his own battles. Naturalists place him as a link between the bear family and the weasels. He, has about all the strenuous characteristics of both, with some of his own in addition. Badger baiting was formerly a barbarous rustic sport that drew trade to country inns and taverns. A badger was placed in a barrel, and the man whose dog could bring him out got a prize. A single dog seldom did it. A full pack might sometimes. The badger is a tremendous burrower, and the jolly dachshund of the jokes has been trained for centuries In Germany to go Into his burrows Kke a ferret after rats and drive the badger out or fight him. In some German and Austrian cities there were formerly badger baiting tourneys, In which crack dachshunds entered a pit with an ablebodied badger and fought for points. It Is said that such contests are still held In Vienna. For spirit, endurance and agility the dachshnnd has no peer in this work, and a bulldog pitted against' a badger would probably find himself cutting a poor figure. So, make the jokes about the dachsihund if you will, but give him credit for his prowess and for that gentleness, characteristic also of the best bulldogs, that makes both an affectionate companion to man and a loyal playmate to children. Give the dachshund credit, too, for intelligence. He has It hi large degree. Few dogs are keener. New York Press.

COIN CURIOSITIES.

A Great Variety of Material. Haa Been L'aed For Money. Among the early Roman copper coins was one that weighed nine and onehalf ounces and must have proved inconvenient small change for the Roman matron when she went shopping. China of all countries, ancient and modern, exhibits the greatest variety in the matter of coins. The earliest money on record, about 2000 B. C, consisted of shells and cowries. The cowry was used for small change, while tortoise shell and purple cypraea shells, the latter ranging in size from a few inches to a foot and a half in length, represented money of a higher value. A decrease in the supply of shells and Increasing prosperity called for a more bandy medium of exchange, and cash, the coin with a square hole in the center, came Into existence and remains in use to this day. Among the earlier Chinese coins was one of porcelain about three-quarters of an inch In diameter and a quarter of an inch thick, bearing the legend "Eternal Prosperity." A very curious knife money was at one time used in the state of Tsi. It was of copper shaped like a bill book, about seven inches long and fitted at the end with a ring. During periods of metal scarcity In China iron, lead, tin, baked earth, grain, silk and shells have been used as a circulating medium. In Japan an iron coinage, begun about 1036, has existed up to the present day. A curious coin made of a mixture of silver and copper was long in use in Japan. It varied in size from a small pea to a large bean. Lead coins were also '-used there for fife centuries. Glass was employed as a substance for coin for many centuries in Egypt, while wooden money is mentioned In many of the Buddhistic writings. Rniila. Superstitions. In Russia much rain Is considered a good omen.

THE HINDOO FOOT.

It la Quite Different Prom Our. In It. Formation. In the native quarters of the towns of India the strange spectacle may be seen of a butcher seizing a piece of meat iu his hands and cutting it in two with a stroke of his knife held between the first and second toes of his foot. The shoemaker uses no last, but turns the unfinished shoe with his feet, while his hands are busy In shaping it. So the carpenter holds with his great toe the board be is cutting, and the wood turner handles his tools as well with his toes as with his fingers. This use of the feet to assist the hands in their labor Is not, however, the mere result of practice, but is principally due to the fact that the Hindoo foot is quite different from ours In its anatomical conformation. The ankle of the Hindoo and the articulation of the back of the foot permit considerable lateral motion. Then the toes possess a surprising mobility. The great toe can be moved freely in all directions, and the first and second toes are separated by a wide space, sometimes as much as five-eighths of an inch across at the base of the toes and two inches at their extremities. The articulation of the hip is also peculiar, and this renders it easier to use the toes in handling the objects by enabling the Hindoo to sit in a squatting posture much more comfortably than we can do. A similar formation of the feet and toes is found among the Anamese, but it la not, as might be supposed, a common thing among barbarous and savage tribes. One naturally thinks of the resemblance to a monkey which a human being using both feet and hands In the manner described above must present, and yet the Hindoo foot is not at all like the feot of an ape or monkey. The great toe Is not opposed to the other toes like a thumb, as occurs with the monkey, and accordingly the pedal dexterity of the Hindoos is not to be taken as an indication ot simian descent.
