Whss During the first engagement while the company was filing at will into th» woods ahead, says Sergeant King in tbo Minneapolis (Kan.) Messenger, a for lorn water buffalo, the Philippine beast of burden, nteandersd into the rice field directly in front of the line. The writer immediately directed hi» fire toward the buffalo, with no appar ent result. Afterwards, dining a lull in the firing, we shamefully confessed to having wasted our strength in this ignoble manner and were surprised to learn that every man had done like wise. At all events, the beast made gooil its escape, for it patiently plod ded ahead until the timber swallowed it up. During the charge at Calocan, a frenzied pig. of diminutive size, dashed from beneath a bamboo hut and, apparently, judging that all the commotion was for his benefit, thought best to retire. As the pig dashed past the writer, we gently assisted with a shove from the butt of our gun and thought no more of it for some time. Afterward, upon glancing to the rear, we saw four or five soldiers in hot pur suit of the same poor little swine. It is laughable, even in times of peace, to watch another man chase a hog, but when men forsake their places, forget the roar of conflict, the hum of bullets, the shouts of the victors, and the wails of the wounded, to grapple with au eight-pound slioat, the scene becomes ludicrous in the extreme. We took the trouble to learn that the pig got away. At Calocan the rebels had mounted two moustrous muzzle-loading gun» captured in former time» from the Spanish. They attempted to fire one of these, with direful result». The Americans collected the remains of 20 rebelB killed by the explosion of the gun. The insurgents had not the cour age to Are the remaining cannon,which was loaded and primed when Calocan was captured. The natives had loaded the gun with a complete curiosity shop. The cannon was fil'ed with scissors, knives, coal, pieces of brick, nails, bolts, a ther rnotneter. a hot Beehoe, a ear link, a piece of rubber hose, and, to crown it all, a large quantity of hoop iron had been driven into the muzzle so tightly that it was necessary to tile it before the charge could be drawn. A double dose of powder was found, and also a quantity of dynamite. No won der the other oannon exploded. THE ALUM BAKING I POWDERS. I Nunies of Some of the Principal Brand« Sold in this Vicinity. The recent discussion in the papers of the effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking powders and the opinions that have been pub lished from noted scientists to th» effect that such powders tender th» food unwholesome, have caused numer ous inquiries for the names of tire vali ons alum powders. The following list of baking powders containing alum is made up from the reports of State Chemist Nicholson, of Nebraska, the City Chemist of St. Louis, the Food Commission of Minne sota, or other reliable authority: Baking I’owders Containing Alum; K.

Contains Alum Beno A Ballis, Portland. In addition to these, it is learned that many grocers are selling wbat they call their own private or special brands. These powders are put up for the grocer and his name put upon th» labels by manufacturers of alum pow ders in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Tacoma, San Francisco and else where. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their good» in this way greatly aided by the ambi- tion of the grocer to sell a powder with bis owtt name upon the label, especial ly when the grocer can make an ab normal profit upon it. Many grocer», doubtless, do not know that the pow ders that they are thus pushing are alum powders which would be actually contraband in many sections if sold w ithout disguise. It is quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market. They are constantly appearing in all sorts of disguises, un der all kinds of cognomens, and at al) kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten cents a pound. They can be avoid ed, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking pow ders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as pure cream of JltritA baking powders cannot be produced’ at anything like this price.
