The building ts completed and fruit is being gathered as rapidly as possible and decorations will begin today. There Is great uocefsity for more liberal contributions of fruit on all sides. G. V. Hunt, of Whltenker writes as follows to the cemmittee: "I like the idea of a fruit palace. Next year let there be a grain palace right ulong side. "Not having pruned my orchard properly for the two years past I do not find much fit for exhibition. I can send n sample of canned silver prunes from my Salem orchard. Owing to family nfiltetious I can hardly be present this year. If Providence smiles on our industry we vill help make that fruit palace 'a thing of beauty and a joy forever' next year. "Let me say in conclusion, until Brown's, Mluto's aud Chltwood's islands, and the bends of the Willa mette river, together with Mission bottom (with exceptions of a fringe of willows next the river to prevent washouts are piauted in peach and Italian prune trees the possibilities of Marion couuty for fruit are hardly touched."

I Hall's Journal of Health 1 I "This question has caused a good deal of discussion. Alum is used by I many bakers to whiten their bread, enabling them to use an inferior flour. It is most extensively em ployed as n cheap substitute for cream of tartar In the manufacture of baking powders. It has uot been considered immediately dangerous; although if continued It Induces dyspepsia and ohslimite constipa tion. But the fact that many casta of poisoning have o.-curied from the use of alum, puts the question inn more serious aspect, and prudent people wilt exercise caution in the selection of baking powders. "Under what conditions then, does this snbstauce formerly med only for mechanical or medicinal purposes become poisonous? They are certainly obscure, and at preseut we can only surmise what they may be We suspect that the cause ex ists In the individual poisoned; some peculiarity of the constitution pro ducing a morbid change In thesecrr tiotiH of the stomach, with whhm the alum combines and f.'rius uu active poison; or the secretions inn be healthy but iu uuustul pro,ir tions and that these less or gre-irct proportions iu combination witbjihu alum constitute a poison. "For example, two parts of mercury and two parts of chlorine form calomel, which is notpohonous, butchange the proportions to one part mercury aud two parts of oliloriue, and we get corrosive sublun ile, which is a deadly poison. "Then again, we know nothing of the constitutional peculiarities Why is it that one person cau cat all kinds of gr n fruits and vegetables with impunity, while the siuiu course might cost'another individu 1 his life? One person can handle poison ivy aud sumac without being in the least affected; 'mother is poisoned if be approaches to within 10 feet of them. Out of a family ie- siding In a malarial district, some of the members will sutler half the year with fever and aue, while the others will enjoy excellent health during the entire year. Foods that are wholesome to s uie persons are actually poisonous to others. This ise3pectilly true of some kind of fish. There is no safety in taking alum into the stomach, as it is shown to be always injurious, and often dangt rous." The Scientific American published in a recent uum'jor a list of alum and amm nU baking powders, which is of great value at this time, 'following Is the list compiled fiom official reports. Pnvddrs marked with a star seem to have a general sale, ti3 they are mentioned in at least two of tue official reports. ATLANTIC PACIFIC'UOYAL. COIKN FAVOIUTK. bCIOTO. THE COUNTY COURT.

Chancellor White, of Salum, In-lnrnro f i Womanly Woman Over lratlxnl ami llanlentnl Outcnt. The work that u good womnn can do tor the fallen of her sex is well illus trated by n story related by Mrs. Bar ney in an address upon tho subject of polico matrons. She was onco urging tlie necessity of such matrons upon tho authorities of a certain city, when tlio chief of polico said, "Well, If you could soo tine woman that comes in hero threo o." four times a yenr 'Old Sal' I" It took four policemen, ho said, to bring her into tlio cell, and usually they got their faces scratched. Ouo morning Mrs. Barney was told that tlils woman had been put into a cell tho previous night. "Wo would liko to sco you bring her into court," tlio polico said. "If you can do that wo shall beliovo in polico uintrons." Tho chief offered to send two men to protect me, but I declined their serv i.ie.T. As I readied tlio cell door I rapped with the koy, nnd then unlocked tit door and entered. Tlioro in tho Jr.k, narrow cell crouched tlio woman, Iol '.;!;! t mora liko a wild beast. Slio was just ready to spring, as slio was ex pecting tho police. She cried eut: "Who nro you?" "I am your friend," I replied. "It's a Hoi" she said. "I haven't got any friends." "But I am your friend," 1 reiterated gently. The woman laughed mockingly. "Who nro you, anyway!" "I niu a police woman." "Oil, I didn't know thoy had any such tilings," slio said. "I never saw one beforo. What do you think you'ro goin' to do?" "Help you," I replied simply; and as I stood there besido her I dropped uiy hands upon her shoulders, and call in1 her by her married name, I said, "You know you iiavo to go into tho court in a minuto, and you aro not Ut to go." I began to arrange hor hair. I took a pin from my own hair. Sho hadn't n button or u pin or a fastening of any kind in her clothes. Slio sat there tugging to hold them together, and as I tried to dress her she said: "Tell mo what you aro up to. Tell mo what you mean." Looking in her eyes I asked kindly, "Do you remember tho first time you woro over in a polico station?" "Don't 1 remember it!" "How old were you?" "I wan't sixteen then, and I am more than sixty now." "How many times have you been in these places?" "Oil, I don't know. I guess God don't know it's so often." "Do you remember how you felt tho first tlnio?" "I was almost scared to death. I ci led all night." "Sully, if a good woman had been there and had wiped the tears off your face, and had put up your hair and had rested a motherly hand on your shoulder, as I bavo dono today, what would it havo meant to you?" "Oh, I would never havo gono back again, but nobody ever cared." "Now, Sally, I want you to do some tiling for me. I want to got a woman to go into theso places to care for tho women in tho way I havo suggested. Wouldn't you liko to help me?" "I would do any tiling I could to help you." "Tho polico think you will not go quietly into court with mo this morn ing; but I'm sure you will." Wo talked together n littlo whllo longer, nnd then came tlio call for us to go into court. As wo roso from tlio bed where wo had been sitting I said, "Will you take my arm, or shall I tako yours?" Slio looked mo over and said, "Wal, I am about throe times as largo as you ; I guess you'd bettor tako mino." So wo went Into court. Tho police men said thoy would havo cheered us if it had been proper, and ono of thom said that I had "bewitched Sally." And so tlio poor creature was bewitched, but only witli gentio treatment and kind words. Youth's Companion. School llluudur. A teacher iu a public school gave out a list of words to bo defined and put iu sentences. Among them was tho word "chasm." A littlo girl looked in tlio dictionary, and not being quito sat isfied inquired if "chasm" meant "gap." t Tho teacher absently replied yes, but was ohtonished when slio presented her paper with tills sontenco, "When I nin sleepy I always chasm." But tills is hardly equal to another teacher's experience in a littlo district school some years ago. Slio gave out words for analysis. "Bank-note" was ono of them, arid tlio teacher's aston ishment may bo Imagined when ono young lady brought tlio following unique analysis: "Bank-note" U a compound primi tive word composed of 'bank' and 'note.' 'Bank' Is a simple word, mean ing tlio sldo of a stream; 'note,' to set down; 'bank-note,' to set down by tho sidoof a stream."

A Curd From Hill Anderson. Ed. Jeurnal: For tho benefit of the public I wish to make a stute meut about that rowiu my saloou. I keep boxing gloves aud the boys come in every Saturday night and exercise, Ialwajstry to keep good order and this match was got up between four persons who aro partic ular friends to havo some fun. It was a innkc-believo fight. .Tlio man Holland got hold of it mid from his actions ho was bound to break it up, and did so. Holland came to my saloon early iu the evening and per suaded oue of my men that was to spar to go away with him aud took him around to other saloons nnd treated htm and tried to get him drunk. I sent ono of tho seconds after the man nnd he brought him back. Holluud camo back witli him aud called for tho gloves, wanting to show my man some poind:, Hol land took tho man and the gloves out back aud I started a man ufter htm. When my mnu overtook him Holland was about 25 or 30 steps from tho house and going ahead , with gloves and man and refusing to give up tho gloves for awhile. Then Holland came buck and took charge of ouo of tho men and took him away from the second that hud heou trnlniug him for several days, took him iu tlio back room and put the gloves on him, nnd stripped him and brought him out into tho ring and run him right along. Holland would call time aud glvu ordeis and I called him to order several timet. Holland went to the dnora of tlio bar room and culled put to the crowd to como in. I went' to Holland and pushed hhn back iu the crowd aud told him I was run ning tho house, The next appearance of Holluud lie was quarreling with tho second whose place ho hud taken. Then Holland jumped into tho ring ai.d conmieuced to sti in off to clean out the houe. I had Just taken one of tho fighters a glass of whisky, when Holluud landed In the ring. To stop nil further trouble I just let Holland have oue with tho glass nud Holland did uot wuutto fight us bad as he thought he did. After that tho houe was quiet and every thing went on smoothly. Hol land knocked mo out of several dollars by tho row. I am under bonds to keep an orderly house. I lilt Holland to prevent u regular riot, and I claim I was Justified In so doing to protect my house. I un derstand Holland's conduct in town has not been very good, and his evi dence would not umount to much, uud that of ills backers less. Theso statements I can prove by from four to forty witnesses. Old IJilIj Andi'iison. Ton Importune A rcosonnblo degree of self confidence is almost essential to one's comfort nnd efficiency, but if a man has a very ex alted opinion of ills own abilities ho will do well to keep it to himself. A certain dry goods clerk was In tho habit of saying to his associates that tho concern would find It pretty hard to got along without him, Theso re marks camo to tiio oars of tlio sonlor partner, and ho called tho clerk into tho inner office. "Mr. Jenkins," lie begun, "you have been very efficient and wo highly ap preciate your services, but wo havo heard it Mild that if you wcro to dio tho business could nut possibly survive the loss. Tills has worried us a good deal, for you, liko all tlio rest of us, aro liable to drop off suddonly. "Wo have concluded, therefore, for our peace of mind, to experiment whllo wo nro botli in good health, and sco If tlio concern cau bear up under your loss. You will accordingly consider yourself dead for ono year, and wo will try to get en without you for that length of tiiuo." Exchange. Defined.

A pair of rats, happily situated and undisturbed, will in threo years havo increased to 050,808. Calculating that ten rats eat as much In ono day as a m an, t, hlch wo think Is rather under than over tho fact, tlio consumption of theso rats would be equal to that of 05,080 rnon tiio year round and leavo eight rats In tiio year to spare. Multiplying in this rapid way it is providential that tlio rat lias so many natural enemies. All theso to tiio contrary notwith standing, ho often proves sufficiently troublesome to mako tho community consplro against him. In Ireland they singe tlio hair of a rat which has been caught, but otherwise It is unharmed. In Germany thoy let one loose with a small bell attached to his neck.
