James Patton addressed the evening
high school of Boston last week, and
said that half-educated people are often
found in the highest walks of life. He
him elf had once found on visiting Eng
land that his education was woefully
deficient in many respects. When asked
if such and such flower or tree was
a native of America, he could not tell.
He was unable to inform his questioner
how much grass was cut to an acre in
America. He had not FULLY compre-
hended the fact that any grass was ever
cut in this country. 1t was to be
observed that no people had so thor
oughly separated themselves from ma
ture as Americans-a fact particularly
salient when the familiarity of Euro
peans with country interests is consid-
cred. The value of knowledge gained
from literature is overestimated, he
thought. 1t is not the chief end of man.
To write classical English is not the
highest achievement. Shakespeare was
not the greatest man of the Elizabethan
era. Homer was not the noblest Greek.
He was less than Achilles, as the herald
is less than the General whose exploits
he proclaims. In the first rank of aris
tocracy should be placed the discoveries
of truth, like Newton. Next to them
belong those who apply the truth to the
aye.-BOStOn Globe.

Pressure Isle News.

From the Presque Isle Advance
A large frame building TO be used
as a temporary Catholic church, is be-
ing erected near the site of the burnt
church in the town of Posen. The
bishop of the new Diocese, of Grand
Rapids, to which this county is at
tached, is expected here to administer
the sacrament of confirmation about
the 10Th or Goth of the present
month.
We lately saw some beautiful terra
Gotta vases in the Office Of VIM. A.
Moore, of Detroit, the design of which,
together with the workmanship, was
so chaste and artistic that they imme-
diately struck our attention. We
supposed that they were bric-a-brac
importations, but imagine our surprise
and delight to find that these beauti-
full works of art were modelled in De-
troit and made from Presque Isle
county clay, lately shipped thither by
the Presque Isle Brick and Lumber
Company, of False Presque Isle.
The wealth of Presque Isle county is
only just begun to be developed.
A terrific hurricane of wind, hail

600 posts and ties belonging to Law

some 1000 pieces of cedar and some
logs of Mr.. John Clarity being car
ried away. None were recovered.

Muscular Exhibitions Oh the Streets
Should Pay Rent.

The public streets are constructed
for the use of people who desire to
pass from one part of the city to
another, and for this reason only the
tax payers submit to be taxed.
When the streets are used for other
purposes than those they were con-
structed for, the parties thus unlaw-
fully using them should be made to
pay rent.
One very irregular use that the
streets have recently been used for, is
as a free fighting ground, and this
method of using the public property
is not fair toihe tax payers. Now,
we think that when two or more men
use the street as fighting ground,
they should-be made to pay for the
use of such property, and the city
officials should see to it that the city
is not defraudod out of its just dues.
The men who fight on the streets
should be gently, and yet firmly, re-
quested to make the Police Justice
business visit, and pay such rent for the
use and occupancy Of the public high
way as he thinks just and proper.
The usual rent fixed by custom is
as follows: For small scrimmage,
lasting but short time, and not much
space taken up by the spectators, the
charge is 81 and costs; for a more
extensive affair the rent imposed is.

Montmorency County.

From the Montmorency Index.
This county is situated east of OF
sego county, and west of Alpena
county and watered by Thunder Bay
river and its tributaries. The only
ways to get here is to come by boat
to Alpena, and then take the stage to
Hillman, distance of % miles, or to
come on the cars to Gaylord, and then
strike eest about Is miles. The main
settlers are now at the east and west
edges of the county, but as new set
tiers come in they arc compelled to go
farther back, but the land is just the
same, and more that can be home
steaded.
Hillman, the county seat is located
on Thunder Bay river, one mile from
the east line of the county. The first
lots were laid out only year ago,
and now upwards of 80 have been
sold, while the town contains saw
mill and hotel, owned by Mr.. James
Hunt county court house, school
house, one store, one blacksmith shop,
one milliner shop, two printing Offices,
and seven dwelling houses. Three
more buildings have been commenced,
and several talked of which will be
built some time this summer. Hill
man is surrounded with the best Of
farming land, which is proof enough
that it must go ahead, and all it wants
is energetic men, and plenty of them
to go ahead and build it up.
The county contains two other vii
lagos, known as Atlanta and MERIDIAN
City, the former being about the CEN
ter of the county and the latter is
near th8west line.
The soil is chiefly clay loan ex-
cepting some parts, known as Nor
way plains, which is generally sandy,
but will make good soil, when pro-
perly titled. The plains are easily
cleared, some places containing moth
ing but scrub oak, and pine.
The timber throughout the county
is chiefly white pine, norway, maple,
beech, hemlock, tamarack, spruce,
white birch, Eastwood, black and
white ash, cedar, and poplar.
The county is well supplied with in
landllakes, all of which contain abund-
ance of fish.

for mechanical or medicinal purposes
become poisonous (? They are Ger
tainly obscure, and at present we car
only surmise what they may be- W.
suspect that the cause exists in The
individual poisoned some peculiarly
of the constitution producing a NOR
bid change is the secretions of tht
stomach, with which the alum com
bines and forms an active poison; OF
the secretions may be healthy but in
unusual proportions, and that these
less or greater proportions, in com
bination with the alum, constitute O
poison.
For example, two parts of mercury
and two parts of chlorine form Gallo
mel, which Is not poisonous but
change. the proportions to one part of
mercury and two parts of chlorine,
and we get corrosive sublimate, which
is deadly poison.
Then, again, we know nothing of
the causes of constitutional peculiari-
ties. Why is it that one person can
eat all kinds Of green fruits and vege-
tables with impunity, while the same
course might cost another individual
his life One person can handle poi
son ivy and sumac without being in
the least affected another is poisoned
if he approaches to within ten feet of
them. Out of a family residing in a
malarial district, some of the mem
bers will suffer half the year with
fever and ague, while the others will en-
Joy excellent health during the entire
year. Foods that are wholesome to
some persons are actually poisonous to
others. This is especially true of some
kinds of fish. There is no safety in
taking. alum into the stomach, as it is
shown to be always injurious, and
often dangerous. Baking powders
compounded, and containing
pure cream of tartar instead of alum,
are more convenient than yeast and
bread and pastry made with them are
just as wholesome, and far more pala-
ldDlc. VIC are III tHtiIO o) HiputhJ
with the manufacturers of the Royal
Baking Powder-who commenced
and are vigorously conducting the war
against the use of alum in baking
powders.
Before committing ourselves, how
ever, we made tests Of sufficient
number of baking powders to satisfy
ourselves that the substitution of alum
or cream of tartar in their compost
ion has not been over estimated, while
careful examination of the Royal
Baking Powder confirms our belief
hat DR.. Mott, the Government Chem
st, when he singled out and COM
nended this powder for its wholesome
less, did it wholly in the interest Of
he public.
We do not hesitate to say that the
Royal Baking Powder people deserve

whom they arc endeavoring to protect.

rer of pure candies follow their ex-

court. For second ofienses an in
creased charge is imposed.
If men are determined 10 use the
streets for their public exhibitions of
muscle, they should be made to pay
for the same, and every time they do
use them for such purposes and fail to
pay rent for the same, the city is de-
frauded out of its just dues. When
these muscular exhibitions take place,
they always disarrangc the saw dust
on the streets, and legitimate travel
is for time obstructed. Then again
portions of the saw dust and sand
pavement are frequently carried away
by the combatants by getting it in
their boots and clothing as they roll
on the street. Once in awhile one
of the fighters will recklessly and
wantonly cram a portion of the street
into the mouth and eyes of the other,
and this is a dead loss to the city.
If a travelling quack, cheap John,
or dead beat uses the street, they have
to pay license for so doing, and it is
not just to allow men with super
abundance of muscle to give exhibi-
tions on the streets and not pay fair
price for the use of the public ground
they occupy
We trust hereafter that such men
will be made to visit the Justices of
ice and pay into the city treasury
such amount as the Police Justice
nay think right and just. The city
must not be defrauded out ofits just
lues.

Is Alum Poisonous !

DIR. Halls journal of Health, in
recent issue, says:
"This question has caused good
deal of discussion. Alum is used by
many bakers TO whiten their bread,

cd as cheap substitute for cream of
tartar in the manufacture Of baking
powders. 1t has not been considered
Immediately dangerous; although if
continued it induces dyspepsia and
obstinate constipation. But the fact
that many cases of poisoning have oc-
CURED from baking powders which
contained alum, puts the question in
more serious aspect, and prudent
people will exercise caution in the Sc
lection of baking powders.
