Does Your
.Baking-- Powder
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of Penn.: "All
the constituents of alum remain (from alum baking powders) in
the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the
process of digestion. I regard the use of alum as highly injurious."
Drv Alonzo Clark : "A substance (alum), which can de
range the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder."
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist : " I believe
it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of
food articles."
Prof S. W. " Johnson; Yale College : "I regard 'their
(alum and soluble alumina salts) introduction into baking pow
ders as most dangerous to health."
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
Baking powders made from cream of tartar, which is highly
, ; - : , refined grape acid, are promotive of health, and more efficient.
No other kind should be used in leavening food. Royal Baking
Powder is the highest example of pure cream of tartar powder. -
The Advantage of On Eye.
During the late Spanish-American
war a certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
very indignant because Le was pnt j
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one of the
New York volunteer reigments.
Villed with. wrath and chagrin the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal interview, with
the president. He succeeded in gain
ing an audience, and the president,
after listening to his pier., said, kindly:
"But, my good Col. J , you
have only one eye.!" .
"Just bo, sir," was the prompt re
joinder, "but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eye?
When I aim my gun I shan't have to
close the other 1"

Major-GeneralJoseph Wheeler, com
manding the cavalry forces in front of
Santiago and the author of "The Santi
ago Campaign," in speaking of the
great catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na, says:
"I join with Senat ts Sullivan, Roach

Pe-ru-na. It is recommended to me
by thoso who have used it as an excel
lent tonic and pax-t'cularly effective
as a cure for catarrh."
United States Senator McEnery.
Hon. S. D. McEnery, United States
Senator from Louisiana, says the follow
ing in regard to Pe-ru-na:
"Pe-ru-na is an excellent tonic. I
have used it sufficiently to say that I
believe it to be all that you claim for
it. S. D. McEnery, New Orleans,

The microbes that cause shills and fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the mu
cous membranes and prevents the entrance of malarial germs, thus 'preventing
and curing these affections.

Poor Facilities tor Coaling-.
Army officers in the Philippines who
have charge of the troop transports
complain of the lack of coaling - facil
ities and the annoyances which sur
round the replenishing of the fuel sup
ply of such ships. They write the war
department that the present method
involves great delay, troops being com
pelled to await transports, which make
long trips to the coal pile and baic.
The distance required to go for . fuel
is 70 miles, and the period taken for
this errand is from 10 to 20 days.
Sometimes, .it is said, a transport is
gone long enough while taking on coal
to make a trip from Manila to San
Francisco. It is probable there will be
an official inquiry into the system, and
some arrangements made by which the
transports can be coaled with greater

A HOT" COLD BANQUET.
Some Inside Information by a Walter
. From the Bowery Who Helped to .
Serve It.
One of the waiters at a popular local
restaurant is a bird of passage from the
Bowery and was a member of the
small army that, served the famous
"Dollar Dinner" in 1 New .York last
April. - A good many stories have been
told of that memorable event, but none
of them surpass his own in point of
rjioturesqueness and inside detail. "It
was the funniest push I was ever In
in me life," he says, confidentially.
"The kitohen was so small they had to
cook everything on the outside, and
when it got there it was dead cold.
The second course was haddock, and
each fieh come, served in a linen bag,
so we could put 'era ' in tubs of hot
water and waim 'era up see? Well,
some of the boys got rattled and served
'em bags and all, with egg sauce over
th' outside. Say, you'd of died laugh
ing seeing them fellers tryin' to carve
their fish. 'This is the toughest auld
haddock I iver tackled in me life,' says
one' Tammany man at the head table;
'it's got a skin like a ihinooeiis,' says
he. In the kitchen there was a riot
all night long. It was so small the
waiteis couldn't reach the dishers-up
and they got to scrapping for front
places in the line. One man was
knocked stiff with a turkey, and when
they picked him up I thought he was
dead. - I did, on the level. But it
wasn't blood. It was only cranberry
iauoe. - Anothet flunkey fell into the
salad and one of the cooks put a can of
ice cream in the oven, thinking it was
brown gravy for . the beef. That's on
the square juet as I'm telling yout
But the woist of all was when we came
to the wine. It was 'Merican cham
pagne in half pints, without ice, and of
all the kicking and hollering! one
fresh gent told me it was the only
thing he had had that night that was
good and warm, and he hardly said it
when a waiter that was a little jagged
accidently poured about a "quart of boil-
in' coffee down tne back of his neck.
Say, you ought of heard him cuss.
Between you and me, a good many
waiters got to hitting the wine, and
they found one of 'em with 15 empty
bottles in his pants leg. That's hon
est. I saw it myself. It was the hot
test, banquet 1 was ever at." N. O'

Mexican Customs.
It la a little startling to newcomers
at first to notice the universal custom
In Mexico of addressing persons of high
and low degree by their first names.
As soon as friends are at all well ac
quainted they address, each other .by
the given name, and this Is done not
only by those of the same age and sex,
but Indiscriminately among young men
and young women, young people and
elder persons. In the latter case, or
between"" elder persons, a respectful
prefix is used, as "Don" Rlcardo. Pub
lic characters are also commonly re
ferred to by their first names, even the
wife of the president of the republic
being affectionately called . "Carmen
clta" by all classes. In the household
the head of the house is called Don
Jose or Don Manuel by the servants,
and a son In distinction Is known as
Manuelito (little Manuel). Among ser
vants the customs regarding the names
given superiors are not unlike those
of the negroes of the southern United
States... The lowest classes, or the ser
vants that have grown up In a family,'
speak to the heads of the house as Nino
or Nina (masculine and feminine for
child), call the wife and mother senor
ita, regardless of the fact that she may
have attained three-score. The ser
vants distinguish between one of their
own class and a friend of their master
or mistress by such distinctions. If a
caller is to be announced it Is a senor
ita, regardless of her age, that is In
the parlor. If a. woman of the common
class awaits the mistress it Is a senora.
A gentleman of the upper classes is re
ferred to as a senor, while a laborer
will be called a muchacho (boy).-Mod-en

Cannon.
. Cannons for use In warfare appear to
have been made, of many substances
which would appear very unsuitable to
our' modern ideas. It must, however,
be remembered that In the early days
of artillery powder was very coarse
and slow-burning, and the range was
very small. The wear and tear, there
fore,, on the bore of the gun was as
nothing compared to what It is now.
For Instance, the Swedes in the time of
Gustavus Adolphus used cannon, of
leather, and In 1639 similar weapons
were made in Scotland under the direc
tion of Sir Alexander Hamilton, who
had seen service In Sweden.- Cannon
have also been made' of. wood and
stone, sometimes lined with a bore of
metal and sometimes not. Cannon made
of almost pure gold have been found
In India. It Is said that after Cortea
left Mexico the Mexicans tried to imi
tate his cannon In terra cotta. Krupp
has been credited with an experiment
in paper guns, that- la to say, field
pieces of small caliber composed of a
metal core surrounded by compressed
paper pulp. Such guns would, of
course, be very much lighter, and
would be much easier to carry about
than metal guns. Of guns not nsed In
warfare the most curious were those
used to fire salutes at a winter fete in
Petersburg In the year 1740, when six
guns were made of Ice. It is said that
they had an effective range of sixty
yards, and that they all withstood the
test of firing without bursting.
- The Economy of Robber.
Rubbers are prodigious money sav
ersin two ways; they save shoe leath
er and doctors' bills. The best shoes
In the world soon crack and go to pieces
If you wear them in the rain and snow
and slush. A pair of $3 shoes with rub
bers will outwear a pair of $12 shoes
without rubbers. And as for doctors'
bills, a 50-cent pair of rubbers would
have saved many a hundred-dollar doc
tor's bill, to say nothing of the discom
fort of being sick and the danger ol
pneumonia or consumption or grip.

MILLIONS OF STAMPS.
POSTOFFICE FIGURES THAT.WILL
a ASTONISH YOU.
Enough Two-Cent Stamp leaned In
the Tear 1898 to Beach More than
Unco and a Half Aronnd the Earth
at the Equator. '
. TJncle Sam's ' printing office has an
enormous output of . postage stamps
during a year. A gentleman long con
nected with the service has collected a
mass of statistics ' regarding the Issue
which is simply paralyzing. He says
that the number of 2-cent stamps is
sued during 189S was about 2,500,000,
000. Such a number obviously is be
yond the grasp of the human mind, but
perhaps the matter may be made more
clear, by putting It otherwise.
, An ordinary. 2-cent stamp is exactly
one Inch long. From this fact, by a
little calculation, it Is easy to discover
that the number, of stamps of this de
nomination Issued in 1898, placed end
to end, would extend a distance consid
erably exceeding 39,000 miles. In other
words, they would make a continuous
strip of stamps, each one adorned with
the head of the father of his country,
stretching In a belt more than once and
a half around the equator.
Of course, though the 2-cent stamps
are those principally used, there are
others. Enough 1-cent postage stamps
have been issued during the year 1S9S
to stretch from New Xork city by way
of Europe and Asia to Bombay, India,
if similarly arranged in one strip. All
other stamps as to production and sales
are of minor importance, comparative
ly speaking, , but it la interesting to
know that almost exactly one mile of
$1 stamps were manufactured for the
demand of 1898. Of $5 stamps the
production was equivalent to a little
more than half a furlong, or about one
fifteenth of a mile. . ; ," .
Mow, if all the postage stamps print
ed by the United States Government in
1898 Were placed one on top another
as nearly as might be without putting
them under pressure, how high do you
suppose the pile of them would be?
There Is no use guessing, yon would
never get it nearly right, unless you
went to work to calculate It for your
self. The 3,500,000,000 stamps of all
denominations printed .the current year
the statement Is of course approxi
matewould tower to an elevation of
twenty-one miles. This is more than
three times the height of the highest
mountain In the world Mount Everest
in the Himalayas. If the same number
of stamps was plied up in the form of
the ordinary sheets of 100 each It fol
lows that the stack would be over a
fifth of a mile high.
During the year 1898 the number of
special delivery stamps sold was about
6,200,000. It is only reasonable to sap
pose that the average Journey of the
special delivery messenger Is half a
mile. Indeed, that Is an absurd under
estimate, but let it go at that On this
assumption the total distance traveled
for special delivery In 1898 was about
2,625,000 iniles. That is a very consid
erable space to traverse, as may be re
alized when It Is considered that a
messenger boy ia order to accomplish
the total distance would have to go
about 1,100 times around the world, or
five times to the moon and back. -'
It appears from figures furnished by
the Postoffice Department that the av
erage person in Massachusetts, includ
ing men,, women and children, spends
f 2.30 on "postage per annum. New York
tomes second with an expenditure of
$2.27 and the District - of Columbia
third with $2.16. Colorado Is fourth
with $1.93 and Connecticut is fifth with
$1.80. The States ranking lowest In
this regard are South Carolina, with 25
cents per capita; Mississippi, with 34
cents; Alabama, with 35 cents; Arkan
sas, with 37 cents, and North Caro
lina, with 41 cents.
A FUTURE KING.
Prince Edward of York, Grandson of
the Prince of Walem.
"Prince Edward of York, Our King to
Be," is the subject of an article in the
Ladles' Bealm, and concerning him
there are one or two amusing stories
told. The royal nursery. It seems, is
not without skirmishes between the
two young princes, who , are . evenl?
matched in the matter of spirit. Prince
Edward makes the most of his slight
seniority, but Prince Albert has no
idea of accepting the place of younger
son when it Is a question of riding a
rocking-horse. One day the Duchess of
York was - quite shocked . on entering
the nursery - to find the two young
princes "having It out" in proper style,
and was about to have them punished,
but the Duke said: "Oh, let them fight
it out; they will be the better men for
it" ..
It Is customary for the royal children
to kiss the Queen's hand, not her
cheek. But Prince Edward objected to
th.is arrangement and declined to fall
in with it One day he heard two of the
servants speaking about "her majesty."-"!
know who 'her majesty' is,"
said Prince Edward; "It's 'granny.'"
"And who wa the naughty little
Prince who would not kiss his gran
ny's hand?" "It was I." said Prince
Edward, unabashed, "and I am not go
ing to kiss granny's hand." Now. of
course, being 5 years old. and consider
ing himself quite a big boy. Prince Ed

most approved fashion, and doffs his
cap quite prettily when in her majes

LAW AS INTERPRETED. -
Notice that an unearned premium
will be restored and holding the amount
subjeot to the call of the insured is
held, In Tisdell vs. New Hampshire
Fire Insurance Company (N. Y.), 40
L. R. A. 765, insufficient to satisfy the
obligation of an insurer to return the
premium as a condition of canceling the
policy.
The duty of an operator or an agent
of a coal mine to employ a competent
mine boss being Imposed by statute is
held, in Williams vs. Thacker Coal and
C. Company (W. Va ), 40 L. R. A. 812,
to be fully performed by the employ
ment of such a mine boss, and for the
hitter's negligence the operator or agent
is held not to be liable.
A "standard guaranty to maintain 80
per cent insurance," stamped on the
face of a policy of fire Insurance Is
held -in Cutler vs. Royal Insurance
Company (Conn.) 41 L. E. A. 159, In
effectual to supersede a provision that
the policy shall be void In case of other
insurance at least when the policy It
self is for more than 80 per cent of the
value of the property.
Insurance on merchandise kept lor
an Illegal business, such as a stock of
drugs and liquors kept by a dealer who
did not have the permit required by law
to sell them, is upheld, in Erb vs. Ger

v An Albino Tree.
Much interest has been caused lately
by the appearance of a horse chestnut
tree In the Thlergarten. .. The numerous
branches around the lower part of the
trunk have a pure white foliage, such
as Is seen on trees growing In dark
places, where no chlorophyll can de
velop on account of want of light The
same whiteness of the leaves is alsc
noticeable In a few of the neighboring
branches through the crown to th
top. People are often puzzled aa to the
cause of. the pecularity, and man;
strange explanations are sometimes
given. The singular appearance of the
tree has been noticed regularly foi
some years. This particular tree.
seems, bad been attacked by a swarm
of caterpillars and other creatures ol
the same species, and the foliage had
already been destroyed, but still mass
es of caterpillars continued to crawl up
and down the trunk, and finally clung
there In clumps. To preserve the beau
tiful tree, after other means had been
tried in vain, a solution of acid was
used, and the ground all round was
watered with it as well as the trunk
and the branches, which were espe
daily drenched. This treatment proved
successful. The tree gradually recov
ered, and . now stands in its ful!
strength and freshness, but has evei
since shown the already described
whiteness in its leaves, which presents
a by no means unpleasant contrast tc
the otherwise dark green foliage. Lon

' Notwithstanding the many traditions

He has studied swamps for many
years, but has never seen a will -o' -the

about : moving lights visible above

Following an Idea first developed In
Germany, pictures have recently been
printed in . this country which, when
viewed through spectacles, appear in
stereoscopic relief. The object pictured
Is first photographed from two points
like ah ordinary stereoscopic view,
Then the two pictures are printed In
two complementary colors, nearly but
not quite overlapping. The glasses of
the viewing spectacles are also of com
plementary colors corresponding to
those used in the printing, and 'when
the picture is seen through these glass
es, it stands forth with a startling ap
pearance of solidity.
A writer in Forest and Stream de
scribes a victory which he saw gained
over a rattlesnake by the inhabitants
of a prairie-dog village In the Indian
Territory, '.the ugly invader crawled
Into one of the dog-holes, whereupon
fifteen or twenty dogs gathered about
the place, and began to push dirt Into
the hole.' The snake stuck his head up
through the dirt and the dogs took to
flight; but the moment the snake en
tered another hole they flocked about
It again, and this time pushed in the
dirt so rapidly that the rattler was ef
fectively entrapped. Then the - dogs
tamped the dirt down hard with their
noses, and left the snake to suffocate.
; As is well known to botanists, but
not so well known to the general pub
lic, the white powdery coating on some
leaves and fruits Is waxy In nature
and Is called, "bloom" in technical
works on botany.' Its function has re
ceived . some attention, Mr. Darwin
having made it the object of some stud
ies in his later years. In a recent num
ber of the Laboratory Bulletin of Ober-
Un College is a short paper by Miss
Roberta Reynolds, giving the results
of a series of experiments which show
that when the bloom is removed from
the epidermis the transpiration of wa
ter is greatly Increased. Thus In case
of agave utahensls the loss was about
two and one-half times as much from
the leaf which was without bloom as
from that with the bloom. It was ob
served also that on damp days the dif
ference between tt- leaves was less
than on dry days; so, too, there was
less difference in the case of young
leaves than when old ones were used.

There is more Catarrh In this section of the
country than all oher diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
Incurable. For a great many years doctors pro.
naunced It a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing; to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and therefor requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to

eight chapels, which contain the re
mains of eight archbishops, and the
skulls of "the three wise men of the
East." The Church of St. Ursula is
decorated inside with the bones ' of
some of the 11,000 virgins who, with
St. Ursula herself, were murdered by
the Huns. -
