The Three Big Bills. Some of the Leading Features of Congressional Legislation The three conspicuous measures that were passed by the lute Congress, on railroad rales, boot inspection, and pure food, com prise the most important legislation in the recent history ot the cou nlry. PURK FOOD. riAnfii-nl T'rnvisimvi? Tho nnrp food 1 aw prohibits the manufac lure, sale, delivery lor shipment, or introduction into any State or Territory or I he District of Columbia of adultera'ed, mishranded, p )isonou>, or deleterious lood. drugs, medicines, or liquors and imposes a penally for any violation of the law. It provides for making rules and regulations for executing tho provisions of the Act, requiring an examination ol specimens of foods and drugs and if the law he violated the offender will be proceeded against without delay in the Courts. Adulterations?If drugs differ from standards in strength, quali ty or purity, which are fixed in the National Formulary, they will be held to be adulterated ? Confectionery will be declared adulterated if it contains any ingredient or coloring matter dele terious or detrimental to health. Foods will be considered adulter ated if containing any substance injuriously affecting its quality or strength. Preservatives. Preservatives may bo applied externally when directions for their removal are printed on the package. Labels?Drugs or foods will be deemed misbranded if falsely de scribed by their labels. Drugs in packages must hear a state meut on the labels of the ouanti X ty or proportion of alcohol, morphine, opium, cocaine, or heroin alpha or beta cocaine, chloroform, canabis indica, chloral hydrate, or any derivative thereof. The word "compound," "imita tion," or '-blend" must appear on mixed liquors and only harmless coloring or flavoring ingredients can be used. False labelling of foods or drugs imported into the United Sta'es will prevent their admission. RAILROAD RATKS.

Watson in his Maga* 1 zine for July. 1 The historian, the orator, the fl painter, have been eager in tlie d luty ol blazoning the deeds of J )f our pioneer missionaries, 1 aw makers and soldiers. The fl lames of these heroes live, and fl leserve to live, in letters ol m ight upon the records of our d :ountry. But* to our pioneer J armers, juetice has never been 1 lone. Theirs was a combat call- fl ng for every soldierly trail of fl John Smith and Miles Standish. fl The patient courage which ^ jwung the axe in the depths of fl primeval woods was no 1< ss he fl oic than the bravery which fl uade the musket conquer. The fl oil of the warrior's march was m diglit by comparison with the d lomely but exhausting work ol preparing the soil for the sowing J )f seed. The arrows of tlie red fl nen were not more deadly to 1p die soldier than were the levers fl ivhich rose Irom the swamps fl iiicl pulled down the settler as A le struggled to open out his r" arm. 1 In the South, in the East, in 1 he West, the story of the pio- J leer plowman ot America is one A )f dauntless courage, of quiet A leroism.
