san i liego union one afternooon last week there was a large and interested crowd of amuse ment seekers in and in front of the large windows of knox & van llaren'u drugstore the cause of the gather ing was one of a rather unusual na ture several days before two centi pedi . one largo and the other small were brought into tin store and also a tarantula thev were left in separ ate receptales ud all alive ou this particular afternoon it was determined to see how the animals would act when placed together a layer of ami about an inch thick was spread over th bottom of a glass globe and first the centipedes were dropped ni and with them a horned toad his majesty with the horns took uo part iti the trouble which dis turbed the otbsr two he seemed to be acting simply a.s the referee of the fight the two centipedes crawled over him and rolled over him but hardly awakened his sleepy nature not so the others they circled two or three times around the globe and finally came ill each others way each desired to crawl over the other andji hejjat tie began it was short but it was exciting no two pugilists ever went after each other with more vim or more apparent determination to do each other harm than did these two centipedes their cat-like claws were repeatedly imbedded iu each other's bodies but the smaller one could not stand the strain and when they came together for the third time about two minutes after they were first put in they clinched and wound about each other keeping their claws going in scissor-fashion upon each other's bodies until the smaller centipede dropped out of the si niggle dead the body was taken out of the globe ami soon after the tarantula was drop ped in the centipede had not bad time to recover any strength after ins battle with ins fellow ami his sting had lost its death-dealing qualities so that this battle was also short th two animals closed only twice when the forceps of the tarantula crushed through the head of the larger centipede and he died quick ly the tarantula had apparent received no injury and looked mad enough to have fought a whole regi ment of centipedes one of the company who had watch ed two battles was impressed with the way the centipede fought in the first battle and ventured the assertiou that the centipede was the better tighter lb knew where one could be obtained annd went after it meanwhile the crowd waited when he returned he brough a centipede nearly four and a half inches long it was immediately dropped into the globe aud the tight which was theu begun lasted fully three-quarters of an hour and was exceedingly savage while it lasted the tarantula did most of the fighting but alter t he first attack invariably gut the worst of the round the tarantula fights with a pair of pinchers which are thrust out just be low or from the lower part of the head these are very hard and strong enough to leave marks on a lead pen cil the centipede fights with a dou ble of cat-like jaws which are ranged along tin 1 side of the body in fighting the taranula spreads himself out and after backing away after the manner of the crawfish until he can no further springs upon the ene my thrusting out thej pinchers and grasping whatever portion f the body of the enemy comes within seventeen years ago a man named ebbs a crippled pauper left miffiin town penn and has been wandering around the state ever since in a re cent law suit at bellefonte the court decided that he was a charge to that borough and now miftintown has a debt of 1,000 to pay on the old man situated on the farm of scott west near fayette me are two living springs only a few rods apart but on opposite opposite slopes of a watershed bills running in different directions from these respective springs traverse each a distance of more than fifty miles before they finally reach the same destination there are two kinds of bogus coffee an imitation bean and the ground ar ticle the bean is the most difficult to produce and it is only recently that actual success iu this direction has been attained the bogus bean must not only look like the genuine berry when raw but it should be capable of taking a proper color when roasted a very good specimen is now manufac tured iu philadelphia and trenton being composed of rye flour glucose and water the soft paste is then moulded and carfully dried to the eye of an expert the presence of this imitation is easy of detection and it cannot be used to any great extent among wholesalers but when coffee goes to the retailer adulteration be-ins sometimes the retailer is deceived but nine times out of fii he is the one who introduces adulteration the ground article is very easily produced for then it is only necessary to give the material a proper color and infusing an aroma by strong decoctions of coffee essence when mixed with real coffee even the expert eye aud tongue may he deceived while to the ordinary consumer it seems to be tbe genuine product bogus coffee beans have only a slight resemblance to the natural berry for though they possess proper form the cicatrice on the inner face is too smooth then again the gray color of the raw bean is not quite tip to the mark but when these manufactured beans are rosted with 5 per cent of genuine coffee they find a ready sale the bogus beans can be made at a cost of 830 per 1,000 pounds and when mix ft with iifly pounds of pure coffee the whole 1,000 pounds cost 37.50 or i cents per pound so that a profit of nearly 100 per cent is the result there are any number of coffee substitutes the hills variety being the most successful this company is already manufacturing 10,000 pounds per week it being sold by the barrel to retailers is nearly all of the new england middle and western slates the profits of this concern are suppos ed to be 300 per day and its opera tions have reached such a scale that the stockholders were recently offered nearly 1,000,000 for their secret bus iness but it was declined no one ac customed to drinking good coffee would imagine that a decoction of this stuff was hke either mocha or bio but when mixed with four times its bulk ol genuine ground coffee only an ex pert could detect the imposition the manufacturer of these coffee substitutes " claim thai they are nut violating the laws against adulteration of food products because they do nut ell their goods as coffee but simply as a substitute while this may be true it does not apply to the retailer who mixes the bogus st nil with good coffee and sells the whole as the genuine ar ticle though manufacturer may be beyond the penalties of the adultera tions laws the should be suppressed for without them coffee adulteration by retailers would lie impossible when it is remembered the american people aie compelled to pay 825,000,000 for ingredients that can ba manufactured for one-fifth of tho sum received by coffee growers the necessity for tbe suppression of this nefarious trade is apparent oleomargarine cannot be sold as butter neither should coffee substitutes " be made to masquerade under the name of lava mocho or llio the regiment that suffered the heav iest loss in either army was the twen ty-sixth north carolina whose loss was 80 killed and 502 wounded tbe regiment in the union army that suf fered the heaviest was the twenty fourth michigan which went into the battle with 496 men and lost 7u killed

this tells the story of which state did the most tiglning and lost the most meu north carolina lost some of ner cent more than virginia the record says further the writers of the pretended histories of the war have created the impression that the hardest lighting and the heav iest losses ut gettysburg were on the last day and that pickett's division were the true heroes of gettysburg but these official reports prove differ ently tbey showed that the heaviest losses were on the first day and that the twenty-sixth north carolina regiment on that day lost more meu killed and wounded than any brigade containing five regiments of i'ick ett's division lost in the whole three days fight tbe brigades which suffered the heaviest losses at gettysburg according to these ojfwial reports were the two north carolina brigades of fettigrew and daniel and davis brigade com posed of three mississippi regiments and the fifty-fifth north carolina the loss in killed and wounded was as follows brigade killed wounded peitigrew 1w uid davis 180 717 daniel 1(51 635 the heaviest loss in any brigade of pickett's famous division was s3 killed and 400 wounded in armestead's bri gade these official figures speak louder than the most eloquent words that can be spoken or written in eulo gy of north carolina's soldiers not long after the battle we began tbe work of defending north carolina against false representations all through the years we have done what we could to make plain the real story and to show what north carolina really did iu the great struggle aud particularly at gettysburg we are glad to avail ourselves of the labors of the record we have no idea that even oilicial figures will serve to satis fy those writers who have tried to make heroes of pickett's command at the expense of the soldiers from other states tbe time may come when some man of superior abilities with the true historic style—some motley for instance shall write a great work ou the great war and shall then vindicate tbe truth and tell the story us it is if so then north carolina will get justice and she will shim in the pages of history with an uncommon lustre — wilmington messt uqer how cemphor is made

san i liego union one afternooon last week there was a large and interested crowd of amuse ment seekers in and in front of the large windows of knox & van llaren'u drugstore the cause of the gather ing was one of a rather unusual na ture several days before two centi pedi . one largo and the other small were brought into tin store and also a tarantula thev were left in separ ate receptales ud all alive ou this particular afternoon it was determined to see how the animals would act when placed together a layer of ami about an inch thick was spread over th bottom of a glass globe and first the centipedes were dropped ni and with them a horned toad his majesty with the horns took uo part iti the trouble which dis turbed the otbsr two he seemed to be acting simply a.s the referee of the fight the two centipedes crawled over him and rolled over him but hardly awakened his sleepy nature not so the others they circled two or three times around the globe and finally came ill each others way each desired to crawl over the other andji hejjat tie began it was short but it was exciting no two pugilists ever went after each other with more vim or more apparent determination to do each other harm than did these two centipedes their cat-like claws were repeatedly imbedded iu each other's bodies but the smaller one could not stand the strain and when they came together for the third time about two minutes after they were first put in they clinched and wound about each other keeping their claws going in scissor-fashion upon each other's bodies until the smaller centipede dropped out of the si niggle dead the body was taken out of the globe ami soon after the tarantula was drop ped in the centipede had not bad time to recover any strength after ins battle with ins fellow ami his sting had lost its death-dealing qualities so that this battle was also short th two animals closed only twice when the forceps of the tarantula crushed through the head of the larger centipede and he died quick ly the tarantula had apparent received no injury and looked mad enough to have fought a whole regi ment of centipedes one of the company who had watch ed two battles was impressed with the way the centipede fought in the first battle and ventured the assertiou that the centipede was the better tighter lb knew where one could be obtained annd went after it meanwhile the crowd waited when he returned he brough a centipede nearly four and a half inches long it was immediately dropped into the globe aud the tight which was theu begun lasted fully three-quarters of an hour and was exceedingly savage while it lasted the tarantula did most of the fighting but alter t he first attack invariably gut the worst of the round the tarantula fights with a pair of pinchers which are thrust out just be low or from the lower part of the head these are very hard and strong enough to leave marks on a lead pen cil the centipede fights with a dou ble of cat-like jaws which are ranged along tin 1 side of the body in fighting the taranula spreads himself out and after backing away after the manner of the crawfish until he can no further springs upon the ene my thrusting out thej pinchers and grasping whatever portion f the body of the enemy comes within seventeen years ago a man named ebbs a crippled pauper left miffiin town penn and has been wandering around the state ever

fayette me are two living springs only a few rods apart but on opposite opposite slopes of a watershed bills running in different directions from these respective springs traverse each a distance of more than fifty miles before they finally reach the same destination there are two kinds of bogus coffee an imitation bean and the ground ar ticle the bean is the most difficult to produce and it is only recently that actual success iu this direction has been attained the bogus bean must not only look like the genuine berry when raw but it should be capable of taking a proper color when roasted a very good specimen is now manufac tured iu philadelphia and trenton being composed of rye flour glucose and water the soft paste is then moulded and carfully dried to the eye of an expert the presence of this imitation is easy of detection and it cannot be used to any great extent among wholesalers but when coffee goes to the retailer adulteration be-ins sometimes the retailer is deceived but nine times out of fii he is the one who introduces adulteration the ground article is very easily produced for then it is only necessary to give the material a proper color and infusing an aroma by strong decoctions of coffee essence when mixed with real coffee even the expert eye aud tongue may he deceived while to the ordinary consumer it seems to be tbe genuine product bogus coffee beans have only a slight resemblance to the natural berry for though they possess proper form the cicatrice on the inner face is too smooth then again the gray color of the raw bean is not quite tip to the mark but when these manufactured beans are rosted with 5 per cent of genuine coffee they find a ready sale the bogus beans can be made at a cost of 830 per 1,000 pounds and when mix ft with iifly pounds of pure coffee the whole 1,000 pounds cost 37.50 or i cents per pound so that a profit of nearly 100 per cent is the result there are any number of coffee substitutes the hills variety being the most successful this company is already manufacturing 10,000 pounds per week it being sold by the barrel to retailers is nearly all of the new england middle and western slates the profits of this concern are suppos ed to be 300 per day and its opera tions have reached such a scale that the stockholders were recently offered nearly 1,000,000 for their secret bus iness but it was declined no one ac customed to drinking good coffee would imagine that a decoction of this stuff was hke either mocha or bio but when mixed with four times its bulk ol genuine ground coffee only an ex pert could detect the imposition the manufacturer of these coffee substitutes " claim thai they are nut violating the laws against adulteration of food products because they do nut ell their goods as coffee but simply as a substitute while this may be true it does not apply to the retailer who mixes the bogus st nil with good coffee and sells the whole as the genuine ar ticle though manufacturer may be beyond the penalties of the adultera tions laws the should be suppressed for without them coffee adulteration by retailers would lie impossible when it is remembered the american people aie compelled to pay 825,000,000 for ingredients that can ba manufactured for one-fifth of tho sum received by coffee growers the necessity for tbe suppression of this nefarious trade is apparent oleomargarine cannot be sold as butter neither should coffee substitutes " be made to masquerade under the name of lava mocho or llio the regiment that suffered the heav iest loss in either army was the twen ty-sixth north

this tells the story of which state did the most tiglning and lost the most meu north carolina lost some of ner cent more than virginia the record says further the writers of the pretended histories of the war have created the impression that the hardest lighting and the heav iest losses ut gettysburg were on the last day and that pickett's division were the true heroes of gettysburg but these official reports prove differ ently tbey showed that the heaviest losses were on the first day and that the twenty-sixth north carolina regiment on that day lost more meu killed and wounded than any brigade containing five regiments of i'ick ett's division lost in the whole three days fight tbe brigades which suffered the heaviest losses at gettysburg according to these ojfwial reports were the two north carolina brigades of fettigrew and daniel and davis brigade com posed of three mississippi regiments and the fifty-fifth north carolina the loss in killed and wounded was as follows brigade killed wounded peitigrew 1w uid davis 180 717 daniel 1(51 635 the heaviest loss in any brigade of pickett's famous division was s3 killed and 400 wounded in armestead's bri gade these official figures speak louder than the most eloquent words that can be spoken or written in eulo gy of north carolina's soldiers not long after the battle we began tbe work of defending north carolina against false representations all through the years we have done what we could to make plain the real story and to show what north carolina really did iu the great struggle aud particularly at gettysburg we are glad to avail ourselves of the labors of the record we have no idea that even oilicial figures will serve to satis fy those writers who have tried to make heroes of pickett's command at the expense of the soldiers from other states tbe time may come when some man of superior abilities with the true historic style—some motley for instance shall write a great work ou the great war and shall then vindicate tbe truth and tell the story us it is if so then north carolina will get justice and she will shim in the pages of history with an uncommon lustre — wilmington messt uqer how cemphor is made
