FUNNY CUSTOM HOUSE SCENE.

An elderly lady with delicate features
and refined manners entered the New
York Custom House yesterday with timid
steps 1t was evident that she had never
been there before, and she seemed be-
wildered by the whirl, hustle and clatter
of the rotunda. The door keeper directed
her to the desk where she could transact
her business. This was of q nature that
required-as nearly everything at the
Custom House dOes-an oath.
''You'll have to swearto this madam, J"
said the deputy collector to the old lady.
Her pious couhtenance became very
thoughtful and troubled at this announce
ment. She said nothing, but anxiously
watched the deputy collector make out
hes papers This done he said
''Do you swear to this: madam"
The old lady had clearly made up her
mind that it was necessary for her to pass
through the ordeal. So, with sweet
but hestating voice. she said:
''God have mercy on me--Damn it, D."
The deputy collector was dumfounded
by this reply, but glance at the lady as:
sured him of her sincerity. She had
mistaken Swearing" for profanity, and
had actually believed that it was neces
sarv for her to utter a "swear word in
order to get her papers.

NEW TO-DAY
NEW TO-DAY
THE BAKING POWDER WAR,

The Royal Baking Powder Company is still making
enemies among those who are manufacturing and selling
impure articles for eavenng purposes land their is
legon and this fact shows that is continuing its vg-
orous work in the interests of the public.
This Company set out some time ago to expose the
character and far possible to break up the sale Of
aduterated baking powders Having found from an
animation Of a number of specimens procured from gro
that they generally of inferior character,
devoid of all lcavenng properties and many of them
actually poisonous it brought the matter before the pub
lc denounced the makers by in the press and to
the health authorities
The affair speedily taken up by physicians,
Boards Of Health and Legislatures throughout the
try; chemists employed to make scientific tests Of
the various powders in the market and the Government
itself directed analyses to be made before it would pur
chase the supplies needed for army navy and Indian
The result more than justified the charges boldly
made by the Royal Company. Not only the
jorty Of baking powders in the market found to be
largely aduterated but many of them were ascertaned
to contain lime, alum and other poisonous ingredients to
such an extent render them positively unsafe for
use in human food The information spread throughout
the country and created profound sensation As re-
suit many of these injurious mixtures driven out of
the market and the sale of all Of them seriously inter-
fered with
No of recent date has been farreaching
this in its beneficial influence upon the public health,
and the action of the Royal Baking Powder Company
in the Inauguration of such warfare and in carrying it
forward with such important results universally
mented upon and appreciated. In making the charges
they did hesitate to enter into competition with every
other baking powder in the country. and it is public
satisfaction that in all the tests and analyses made the
Royal Baking Powder was placed at the head of the
list and declared by Boards of Health and the Govern
ment chemists Drs Mott and Love- to be superior to
oil Others in strength and absolutely pure and free from
all inferior substances
In continuing this warfare against the aduterated
food particularly the alum, lime and otherwise i'm
pure and inferior baking powders which unscrupulous
manufacturers endeavorng to force upon the market
in this locality the Royal will undoubtedly meet with the
old-time opposition and abuse: We confident, how
ever that the public will appreciate heretofore both
the object of the cry and the work of the
Royal Company in its attempts to protect and to rid
the market of these dangerous articles Of food.

New facts are constantly being ascer :
tanned and new knowledge gained with
respect to the physical laws that affect
the health Of people, and react upon
their mental natures, as well. DR.. Rich
ardson, the great English physician and
noted author of medical works, in q re-
cent article in one of the leading Re-
views, speaks of factor which, he as
serts, exerts q great influence on the
health and spirits of persons, that has
hitherto been entirely overlooked. This
is the effect of the pressure Of the atmos-
phere upon the bodies of human beings.
The pressure of the air at the sea-level
is about fifteen pounds to the
square inch; and DIR. Richardson says
that there are many persons who are
practically incapable of sustaining this
weight without being disagreeably af-
fected. The effect is often noticeable in
those subject to its influence in q retard-
ed circulation OF the blood, lowering
of the pulse, and at times tendency to
melancholia. On the other hand, the
thin air and small pressure Of mountain
attitudes induces deep breathing, a
quickened pulse, rapid circulation of
blood through the system, and a mental
exhilaration and excitement OF pleas
ing nature. So that the Doctor claims
that those who are of an excitable tenn
permanent and whose blood and nerves
are on the alert, do well to seek the
soothing influence of the atmosphere of
the sea-levels; while others whose ma
lures are sluggish and whose respira-
tory, perspiratory and circulatory sys-
tens need quickening and renewing,
md who are inclined to melancholy
state Of mind, would do better to climb
the mountain sides to sufficient height
to reach the regions Of thin air and
small atmospheric pressure, If DIR.

1t is pleasant to read the warm words

an increasing practice OF 1t, especially
since several leading firms have publish

plants for schoolyard planting at almost
no cost, certain conditions to secure
them being observed. One speaker on
this subject said that children must be

Of the country. 1t is time then to begin

Elders.
AsHvILLE, Tenn. August l2.-The
organization established by Mormon
Elder in Louis and Hickman counties in
this State, about three years ago, was
broken up Sunday by the killing OF all
the Elders by band of masked men.
Mr.. Depricst, the United States mail
carrier for Bowen, Ivey Mills and Cen
terville, Hickman county. gives the fol
lowing account of the massacre: Three
Elders were leading meeting on Con-
ders farm, Cane Creek, Louis county,
Sunday morning, when twelve masked
men, on horseback, rode to the house
and ordered young man named Hutson
and young Conder to surrender They
showed fight. One of the masked men
knocked Conder down, breaking his
skull. Hutson fired and one mask ed
man fell dead. He was found to be
Dave HiIson, u citizen Of Hickman
county. He lived at Brush Fork, on
Beaver dam. The. masked men then
shot and killed two OF the Norman Ell
ders. The third Elder ran towards the
woods, from which firing was soon
heard. The Elder has not been seen
since and it is supposed that he also
was killed. 1t has since been ascer-
tanned that the masked men, before GO
ing to Conder's house, stopped at the
house of q man named Garrett, near
Conder's house, and found Mormon
Elder there. They left two masked men
in charge OF this Elder. Shooting was
heard there shortly afterwards and that
Elder has not been seen since. When
the firing commenced at Conder's house
one Elder hid behind Mrs. Conder, aud
in shooting at him Mrs. Conder was
wounded.
