He Had a Doodle.

Miss Susie had been more than
usually fortunate in keeping her lit
tie brother within bounds when James
came to see her. Her courtship met
with q setback last Saturday night,
however. While James waited for
her to get ready to go to the rink he
noticed little Sammy contemplating
his feet with a look of absorbing in
terest. He began to feel uncOmfort-
able, as will any young man if you
gaze at his feet long enough. At
length, out from the fullness of Sam
my's little heart his mouth spake.
''Mister Stewpan, kin l look at
your shoes?"
"Why, certainly, Sammy"
Sammy examined them faithfully
and then, in disappointed tone, re-
marked:
"Why, they amt any different from
pass -,
"Well, Sammy, why should they be?'
"And amt your stockings or your
bare feet any different nuther?"
"Not that 1 know of, Sammy
But why do you ask?'
"Oh, cos, Sue said to me last night
that you were such an Onery feller she
wouldn't look at you if you weren't
well heeled.'

A Baking Powder Trick,

| All kinds of schemes and tricks are
resOrted to by unprincipled persons to
obtain unfair advantages over their
neighbOrs. The latest and most dis
honest of these that has come to our
notice, is one by which certain manu-
facturers of baking powder have sought
to prejudice customers against the use
of other brands that have an established
reputation as the best and purest in the
market, for the purpose of introducing
their own. Their method, we are in
| formed, is to heat can of baking pow
der of well known brand over a lamp
or stove, when, if there is q gas driven
off having the odor of ammonia, the
powder is condemned as being made of
ammonia and unfit for use. The preju-
dice of the unsuspecting are thus eX-
cited against the baking powder sub
mitted to the so-called test, and the gro
Ger who has a quantity of it on hand
suffers serious loss in consequence.
If the intelligent consumer will stop
a moment to think, she will readily per-
ceive that this "test," if successful,
proves nothing but the superiority of
all baking powder makers is to produce
an article that shall most readily, under
use, give off its leavening gas. The
powder that does this with a moderate
heat, at the same time evolving the
largest quantity, is scientifically the
best.
There is probably not an article pre-
pared for food that cannot be manipu-
lated to prove that something is wrong
about it; and when person goes into a
kitchen, or before housekeeper who is
not to be presumed to understand
chemical relations, and performs an eX-
pertinent of even the simplest charac-
ter it is not difficult to impress one that
something awful is the matter. AS to
baking powders, we could suggest q
dozen tests that would be as ridiculous
in giving a fair idea of their relative
merits to an uninstructed mind as the
one here mentioned.
The true domestic value of baking
powder consists in its purity, whole
someness and leavening power. 1t is
only the chemist, with his chemical ap-
pliances, who can determine these quail
tiles, scientifically and exactly. Aside
from this, the best test for baking
powder is to try it in making bread, and
see which makes the most and the best.
10 this practical test all the established
brands have been put, and housekeep-
ers have very generally made up their
minds which they prefer, and the trick
sters will find ultimately that brand
which has been q household favorite
for years will not be displaced by reason
of any tricks that they may show.

A STRANGE DREAM.
That Proved to be True-The Story
Ridge Horror Recalled.

That Proved to be True-The Story
Ridge Horror Recalled.
OAK HARBoR, June 23.-Rev. DR..
Ayres, one of the ministers attending
the Conference, tells q strange story
about the murdered man found at
Stony Ridge. The body was found a
few rods from his church and he told a
strange story about it and seemed to
consider it authentic. The body was
found on Saturday and the Sunday
night or Saturday night previous a
lady in the place had a dream in
which she saw three men on the road
parleying. Two were trying to get
the other to 60 with them. He object
ed, and they shot him twice and mash.
ed his head to jelly. Then they
left the body on the edge of the land
belonging to this lady and her husband.
The frightful dream awoke her and
she awoke her husband and told him
he must go out to look for the man.
He said "nonsense," and told her to
60 to sleep, which she did, and dream
ed the same thing over again. She
was so impressed with the occurrence
that in the morning she went to the
spot indicated in her dream, but saw
nothing. Had she gone ten feet
farther she would have found the
body. The next Saturday it was dis
covered. The lady described the dress
and appearance of the three men, and
her description Of Loomis and of one
of the others agrees with the descrip-
tions given by the Ashtabula county
people of Loomis and the man that
was with him. 1t is very strange,
but such things have been authenticat-
ed before

A MOTHERS CARE.
She Was Good to Him and He Could

She Was Good to Him and He Could
Not Leave Her in Her Old Age.
"But, after ali, she used to be good
to u.s." 1t was son who said this of
mother whom some nervous malady
had overtaken, and who was certainly
very serious trial to her family.
The young mans life, too, says the
San Francisco Cali, was a weary one.
He was hard worked through the day.
and it was depressing to 60 home at
night to fault-tinding and fretfulness.
Harder still was it to sleep, as this
son did, week after week and month
after month, with all his senses half
awake, that he might hear his moth
er's footsteps if they passed his door,
and hurry after her to keep her from
wandering out into the night alone,
as her melancholy half-madness often
led her to try to do.
Strangely enough she had turned
against her husband and her daughters.
Only this one son had any power to
persuade her for good. His work by
day and his vigil by night wore on
him sorely, but he never complained.
One day his sister asked him how
he could bear it and be always patient,
when the mother though she was
was in the house only as presence Of
gloom and foreboding and unrest.
And the answer came:
"But, after all, she used to be good
to u.s.
And then the thoughts of all the
group went back to the years before
this nervous prostration came upon
her, when she had nursed them in ILL
ness and petted them in childhood.
when she had been ''good to them, y
one and all.
II know the boy said, thought

three years, anyhow, and she shall

And so he girded himself afresh for
the struggle. It will not last forever.
There are signs which the doctors can
recognize that the cloud is lifting
somewhat, and no doubt before long
she will be herself again. He will
feel that he has paid q little of the

SALT LAKE CRY, Utah, June "a
Saturday Charles L. White was arrest
ed charged with unlawful cohabita-
ton and had partial examination be-
fore United States Commissioner
Mckay. His polygamous wife,
mere child, was asked by the prosecu-
tion if she was married to the defend
ant. She declined to answer that and
all other questions and was fined $50

not answer. She did not care what
her punishment might be, even if i'm
prisoned forever. Neither fine has
been paid. The case was continued
until 10 a. m. tomorrow, and in de-

There is a growing suspicion that
the festive musquito is responsible for
many diseases humanity is heir to.
With his sharp probe he punctures the
skin and draws out the blood OF bis
victim. When his gorge is satisfied
he withdraws that fine lancet and
leaves behind the seeds of malaria and
fever that have been picked up in his
swampy home. Fear is expressed
that the little insect will dodge all
quarantine, and when once the cholera
obtains a foothold in this country will
disseminate its germs widely. The
question then is, how to quarantine
the musquito.

The house to which 1t came was empty

Puget Sound is 200 miles long,
and has literal line of l,S00 miles,
The irregular shore line forms innum-
cradle harbors, splendidly adapted for
the erection of saw mills and other
wood working factories, and also for
the establishing of ship yards. Along
this whole shore line from thence on
both sides as far as the eye can reach,
nothing can be seen but the vast, mag
nifcent wealth of timber, save here
and there where man has established
mill-port, town, or an occasional
farm. In the timber belt OF Western
Washington there are 10000, 900
acres covered with timber, most of
which is included within the limits
named-an area equal to the combined
areas of the States of Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Vermont, and New
Hampshire. The timber belt will av-
erage 25,OOe,O 900 feet of lumber to the
acre, or total of SOC, 100000, 900 feet
of lumber. Hence the saw mills of
Puget Sound, with their present Ca
pacity Of 5OO,O0O,OOO feet of lumber
per year, 1t would take 1000 years to
cut it down. The fir trees frequently
attain the height of ESQ feet, and
planks of lumber are sometimes
