IS NAME GIVEN THEM So Barnard Styles Peddlers Who Sell Oleomargarine for Butter. HE DENOUNCES DEALERS FOR SELLING THIS PRODUCT FOR BUTTER, ALTHOUGH HE SAYS "OLEO" IS REALLY A VERY GOOD FOOD. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 18. "Moonshinerb" is what 11. E. Barnard, state those peddlers and hucksters who go out over the state selling oleomargarine for butter. He applies that name because he says they are violators of the federal law and that they carry on their illegal business just as the moonshine whiskey makers and sellers carry on their business in the Tennessee hills. He does not denounce oleomargarine as a food. On the other hand he says it is a good food, but he does denounce the methods of these hucksters and peddlers in selling it. In his monthly report of the work done by the food department, Mr. Harnard says: "Of the thirteen butter samples examined nine proved to be oleomargarine. Most of these samples were purchased from men who posed as peddlers or hucksters but who were in reality cleverly disguised agents of illicit oleomargarine houses. While there can be no possi ble objection to oleomargarine as food product, the large profits which can be made by selling it for butter, and especially when the seller is willing to risk detection by agents of the internal revenue department and colors oleomargarine in imitation of butter and thus evades the payment of the 10 per cent tax to the government, offer so great a temptation that the oleomargarine business Is to no small extent conducted by moonshiners in quite the same way as the illegal whiskey business. The removal of the tax on colored oleomargarine would no doubt take away the incentive to defraud and tend to place the oleomargarine business on a better busities basis. There is no real reason why the coloring of oleomargarine should be practically prohibited ""by the federal government, when the coloring of butter and cheese is permitted without restriction. It is hoped that oleomargarine may some time occupy its rightful place as a legitimate food product of undoubted merit and that its sale for what it is will be unhampered by any restrictions other than those which the government may see fit to impose upon' it for the purpose of falsing revenue. And even such a tax should, it would seem, better be levied upon articles which are not used as food and consumed for the most part by the poorer classes.

At Local Theaters

Eight Bells. There are at least a dozen laughs to the minute in "Eight Bells' as given by the llrothers Byrne which will Tuesday afternoon and night. The Brothers are acrobats of considerable skill aijd pantomimists of unlimited resources. The surprise in the way of unexpected disappearances somersaults into third story windows, vaulting over walls and through walls where there is apparently no opening, and innumerable other tricks of the nimble performers keep the audience wondering and laughing without cessation. Nothing could possibly be funnier than the horse and the carriage in which the lovers were to elope, which is made the means of some surprising acrobatic feats. This scene terminates by the complete revolution of the ship, the passengers turning over with it. Besides the Byrne Brothers there are several other excellent members of the company who introduce taking specialties. The Golden Girl. "The Golden Girl," fresh from a season's triumph in Chicago, where it has crowded two theaters for nearly a year, comes to the Gennett Saturday, February 26, matinee and night. The wonderful stage effects, brilliant electrical display and gorgeous costuming makes of "The Golden Girl" what might almost be called a spectacular extravaganza, were it not for the well defined plot and strong dramatic situations that are never lost sight of throughout the performance. Perhaps no one realizes more than Mr. Singer that the day has arrived when it is necessary to give amusement seekers in the smallest of the one night stands, the same complete, high class production as that offered in New York and Chicago. He has always believed in this theory, which is substantiated by the road companies that have visited this city under his management. At the Murray. The Marimba Band, direct from the city of Mexico is the headliner at the Murray theater this week and is being favorably received. "The Previous Mr. Fresh" as presented by Russell, Lee Barrett and Co., is furnishing comedy, "The Cashier" is a one act drama full of intense interest, the singing of the Italian Operatic Duo and the motion pictures with the Flight by Airship can not help but please the patrons of Richmond's popular playhouse. Each number of this big bill is worthy of special notice but one must see and hear the whole program to appreciate it in all its fullness. His Style of Voice. "Most musical critics are fools!" said Robinson. "Why, one of them recently wrote in his report of a concert where I sang that my voice was a baritone, whereas my rolce is a pure basso!" "Yes," said Jones, "a basso relievo." "Basso relievo!" replied Robinson, sharply. "Why. there Is no such voice!" "Oh, yes, there is." added Jones "basso when you sing and a relief when you leave off, you know." Musical America. Mrs. M. E.

IHDIANA HEALTH DURItlG DECEMBER

Northwest Section Had the Highest and the Lowest Death Rate. RICHMOND RATE WAS HIGH THERE WERE 195 PEOPLE WHO MET VIOLENT DEATHS IN THE STATE THAT MONTH, INCREASE 55 OVER DECEMBER, 1908. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 18. Strange as it may seem, the highest and lowest death rate in the cities having a population of 1,000 or over during December were both found in the northwest coiner of the state. East Chicago, in Lake county, had a death rate of 33.3 for each thousand of population, an enormous rate. This was by far the highest in the state. Then Michigan City came along with the smallest reported death rate for December, 6.4. The monthly bulletin of the state board of health for December has just been issued, and it gives interesting figures on the death rate for December. The figures for the cities having more than 10.000 population are as follows: Death Rate in Cities Indianapolis, 16.5; Evansville, 15.7; Fort Wayne, ICl.ti; TeYre Haute, i:;.t!; South Bend, 16.7; Anderson, 15.6; Columbus, 12.9; East Chicago, 33.3; Elkhart, 13.1; El wood, 6.8; Hammond, 12.3; Jeffersonville, 11.8; Kokomo, 21.1; Lafayette, 16.3; Laport, 23.5; Logansport, 14.8; Marion, 12.1; Michigan City, 6.4; Muncie, 17.8; New Albany, 12.3; Peru. 17.9; Richmond, 19.8; Vincennes, 17.7. The total number of deaths in the state was 2,831, the rate being 12.2. The death rate in the previous De cember was 11.6. The figures show that the northern sanitary section, composed of counties in the north one third of the state had the lowest death rate, 11.2. The central section had a rate of 13.4, and the southern section had 11.6. Birth Rate in the State. The north part of the state carried off high and low honors in the birth rate for December. St. Joseph coun ty had the highest birth rate, 27.8 and Steuben had the lowest, 8.2. The total births in the state for December were 4,105. Of these 2,136 were males and 1,969 were females. The total birth rate for the state was IS. 3 per 1.000 population. This an excess of 7 over the death rate. Of the total nuber of births 4,038 were white and 67 negroes. It is interesting to note that the total death rate for the cities of the state was 15.1, while the total rate among the rural population of 1.682,240 was 10.4. There were 105 violent deaths in Indiana during the preceding December. Of the violent deaths 6 were murders, 26 suicides 163 accidental. Of the murders, one male and two females were by gun shots; one male by stabbing; one female by blunt instrument; one male, method not given. Of the suicides, four males suicided with gun shots; four males and one female by hanging; two males and one female by asphyxiation by gas; three males and six females by carbolic acid; three males and two females by various poisons. Of the accidental deaths steam railroads caused 29; interurban railroads 3; street cars 4; automobiles 3; horses and vehicles 2; crushing injuries 19; mining accidents 5; machinery 4; drowning 7; burns and scalds 27; falls 20; injuries at birth 12; and the remainder by various causes. His Text. The three-year-old son of a Methodist minister was with his mother at a gathering of ladies. At the proper time he was given a cooky. lie ate it in short order and asked for another. The hostess said : "I'll give you another if you will sing for us." "Can't sing," was his reply, "but 1 know something I can say." "That will do all right." the lady answered, expecting to hear "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," or some other nursery classic. But the little fellow drew himself up in real Sunday school fashion and said his piece: "God loveth a cheerful giTer." The lady gave him the cooky, and the whole company seemed to be very cheerful about it. Harper's Magazine. A Water Telescope. Norwegian fishermen use a water telescope to ascertain the position of the herring shoals. This is the way to make the water telescope: Procure a tube made of tin and funnel shaped about three aDd a half feet long and ten inches in diameter at the largest end. It should be wide enough at the top to take in the observer's eyes, and the inside should be painted black. At the bottom, or wide end. a clear, thick piece of glass must be inserted, with a little lead in the form of a ring to weight the tube. When the instrument is immersed in clear water It is astonishing how many fathoms down the observer can see. The Sybarites. The Sybarites were the inhabitants of the ancient city of Sybaris, ia southern Italy, founded 720 B. C. They were so greatly addicted to voluptuousness and self indulgence that their name became a byword among tbe peoples of antiquity. The word "sybarite" is used at the present day to denote a person devoted to luxury and pleasure.

THE HI OF PARIS

Hailing One Is the Same as a Declaration of War. THEY ARE INSOLENT ROGUES Sneers end Caustie Advice Are Showered Upon These Who Engage Them. On Wet or Festal Days the Cabbies Spurn These Who Want to Ride. Among Ar?lo-Saxons there is a general and instinctive desire to do business on the basis of an entente cordiale. In Paris the hailing of a cabman is looked on by both parties to the transaction as an implied declaration of war. The cabman takes your measure, and you take his number if you are wise. At once he will give you a reason to remark that he has a rooted and premeditated objection to drive you where you wish to go. Per- ; haps he prefers the opera quarter be- . cause it is central, or should the weath- ; er be flue his heart is probably set ' upon driving in the Bois, while you . may have business at the bourse. lie j explains his views ou the subject self- j ishly and rudely. A foreigner alighted recently from ; the Calais train at the Northern rail- . way station in Paris and ordered a ; typical Parisian cnbman, bloated, pale and absinth soaked, to drive him to the Kue Bluroet. which is a street in the relatively distant Vaugirurd quar- ; ter. "Peut on habiter la Rue Bloinet?" ("Is it possible to Inhabit the Kue Bloinet?") exclaimed the ragged ruffian lu an epigrammatic note of disdain which would have done honor to Beau Brummel. But it Is when tbe Paris cabman has once started on his "course." a warpath in the strict sense of the term, that he proves to what a limitless ex tent lie is the enemy of mankind. His ' hatred of the bourgeois." the "man ia the street," in spite of and Indeed because of his being a potential client, is expressed at every yard. He constantly tries to ruu him down, which makes strangers to Paris accuse the Paris cabman of driving badly, while in point of fact he is not driving at all, but playing with miraculous skill a game of bis own w hich suggests cannon billiards In the hands of a world's champion. Hut it is not with the public alone that bo is at war. Ou all other calmen whose path he crosses, on omnibus drivers, motorcar men. bicyclists, private coachmen, costermongers with barrows and tsotto voce the police he heaps deadly insults, the least outrageous of which are Ours!" ("Bear!") aud "Fourneau:" ("Oven!"), the latter containing a subtle double meaning, intelligible only to those who have Paris "argot" or slang at their finger ends and too long to explain. Tbo cabman's wild career through the streets, the constant wavering and slashing of his pitiless whip, his madcap hurtlements and collisions, the frenzied gesticulations which he exchanges with his "fare." the panic stricken flight of the agonized women Vihose lives be has endangered, the ugly rustics which the public occasionally makes at him with a view to lynching him. the sprawlings and fallings of his maddened, hysterical, starving horse, contribute as much as anything to the spasmodic intensity, the electric blue fire diablerie, which are characteristic of the general movement of Paris. All that can be said in mitigation of the Paris cabman's method is that "he has them in the blood." Every Parisian (and the cabman is no exception) has tbe soul of a dictator and the spirit of an artist. To exercise autocratic power and. failing this, to" enjoy the maximum of personal freedom from all restraint, moral or social, is the goal at which ho is ever aiming, openly or .secretly. Watch a Paris cabman, for instance, on a wet day or on some festival occasion, such as the New Year, when there is a big demand for his services. With what haughty disdain does he drive along the streets, deaf to every appeal, refusing every fare, rejoicing in the discomfort and Inconvenience he is causing, triumphant in the thought that at last he has "the bour geois" at his feet; that the clientele which be detests and which detests him is now a humiliated, bemuddled or bedraggled mob of supplicants waiting on his will, whom he can enrage to boiling point with his sneers and bis silence or lash with his sat casms as cruelly as be beats bis horseCheerfully does be sacrifice half a day's earnings to the enjoyment of this exquisite revenge, for at least he can say to his hungry wife and children when he gets home. "J'al vecu." They may not have dined, but be has lived. It is because the Parisian recognizes in himself a certain community of sentiment with the cabman in this attitude toward life that he tolerates him, though he does not forgive him. Hamper's Weekly. Her Only Course. Lady Anne Lindsay, the author of the old poem "Aald Robin Gray," was not only a delightful conversationalist, but she was a great story teller. This gtft made her not only a welcome guest abroad, bat a valuable member of the home circle, for it is related in "A Group of Scottish Women" that at a dinner party which she was giving: to some friends an old manservant caused forr.e amusement by sayinj in a perfectly audible undertone: "My lady, you must tell another story. The second course won't be ready for fire minutes." Dr. R. Marloth has discovered in South Africa six species of plants that possess "window loaves."

This visible part of the leaves is flat or convex on the surface, and colorless, so that the light can penetrate it and reach the interior of the leaf below, which is green on the inside. With the exception of the blunt apex, no part of the leaf is permeable to the light, being surrounded by the soil in hkh it is buried.

Cl.. mm. P"Ml by OEBfrcma! She Took Notice. An inspector one day visited a country school taught by a young lady and in the course of the lessons said: "Now. children. I wish you to take notice of what I do and then write an account of It." Then he stepped to the blackboard and wrote a sentence upon It. All the chlldreu except one wrote in effect that the "master" came into the school aud wrote on the blackboard, "1 love a good school." One little girl, however, followed instructions more literally and completed the story by adding: "And then he went to the platform, sat down, played with his watch chain, twirled his mustache and winked at the lady teacher."
