The beauteous dowager5 seen in Wash

the bloom of youth with them. Have
you ever seen Mast draw picture? lie
draws line here and another there, and
when presently it is finished you have
the expression. That is just the way we
do. If the features are too broad we
modify them with lines Il they are too
rccedine, we bring them out in the same
way. It's a very simple matter. We
keep ideal heads and faces hanging on
the wall and approximate to item as
closely as we can Beautifying is an art
now. 1t is studied in Paris and in New

walking Typhoid"

A case of uncommon, but not un-
heard of, malady came under the wri-
ter's notice recently. A young married
man sent a note to his wife that he was
summoned to a neighboring town on
business and would be away all night.
As this contingency frequently arose
in his occupation nothing was thought
of the announcement until the next
day, when, he not having returned, in
quiries were instituted, but no trace Of
his whereabouts could be found. Five
days later he was found in a distant
western city, over one thousand miles
from home, about to take train which
would carry him still further toward
the Pacific coast He was brought
home i'll, and suffered course of ty-
phoid fever, from which he recovered
as well as ever. His physician dag
nosed his case as walking typhoid, and
the recital in detail of his wanderings,
which he was able later to perfectly
recall. was terribly suggestive. He
had passed one entire night walking
up and down the suspension bridge at
NlagdTa gClllS, uuueI IH0 lupIcSSlOA
that his wife was to meet him there
and would be frightened to find herself
alone in such place. Distressed at
her failure to be on hand, he started in
pursuit OF her. He stopped at various
hotels and restaurants, boarded and
left trains always with q definite pur-
pose. frequently he came to his senses
and knew that lie was far from home
and travelling under q delusion, but be.
fore he could fully recover himself the
hallucination was strong upon him.
1t is possible that many disappearance
begin in just such q half-rational desire
to wander, with, however, not the
same fortunate ending. NeW YORK

Under the directions OF the New York
State Beard Of Health, eighty-four diff
ferent kinds of bakingpowders, embrac.
ing all the brands that could besfound
for sale In the State, were submitted to
examination. and analysis by Prof, C.
+. Chandler. Member of the State
Board and President Of the New York
City Board Of Health, assisted by Prof.
Edward G. Love, the well-known late
United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a large
number OF the powders examined were
found to con tain alum or lime; many
OF them to such an extent as to
render them seriously Objectionable
for use In the preparation OF human
food. ..l...,F.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sanl-
Piles. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime Is attributed to the inn
pure cream of tartar of commerce used
In their manufacture. Such cream OF
tartar was also analysed, and found to
contain lime and other impurities; In
some samples to the extent of 9S per
cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the mar
ket, with the single exception of "Roy-
al" mot including the alum and phos-
phate powders, which were long since
discarded as unsafe or inefficient by
prudent house -heepers) are made from
the impure cream of tartar of commerce,
and consequently contain lime to a cor
responding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure is the
"Royal." This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream of tar
tar specially refined and prepared by
patent processes of the N. Y. Tartar
Co. which totally remove the tartrate
oflime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream of tartar
is much greater than any other, and on
account of this greater cost is used in
no baking powder but the 'Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health as well as for the
Government, says of the purity and
wholesomeness of "RoyaP':
~ have tested package of Royal
Baking Powder which l purchased in
the open market, and find it composed
IF pure and wholesome ingredients. 1t
Is cream of tartar powder of high de-
gree of merit. and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or any injur.
ous substances.

IF the President pro tempore of thu
New York Sun correspondent, he is thu
hardest worked member of the body
The Vice President, who has no vote
except in the case of a tie, may absent
himself without leave and appoint g
Senator to occupy the chair during his
absence. Not so with the President
pro tempore, who by the rule 'shall
have the right to name Senator Ia
perform tho duties of the chair, hut
such substitution shall not extend be-
yond an adjournment"
He must be present daily TO omen the
PROCEEDINGS unless excused by the Sen
ate for sufficient cause. He has the re-
sponsihilitv for the Senate wing of the
capitol, and he receives all the reports
from the departments, and prepares
them for submission to the Senate. He
represents the body on public occasions.
and altogether, his supposed bed of
roses has many concealed thOrns.
An election as presiding officer is no
guarantee of continuance in the place.
He may be chosen one day and dis
missed the next, III cause for change
from politics or from expediency should
exist. In 1881 Mr.. Bayard was elected
President pro tenn when the Democrats
had nominal majority, because three
new Republican Senators had not then
been sworn in. After these Senators
took their seats, and the situation
changed, Judge Davis was chosen in
side of three days.
The President of the Senate has many
oompensating benefits for the labors he
performs and for the restraints to which
he Is subjected. The office itself places
him next to the chief magistrate in Of
fetal dignity, and confers upon him
many social and ceremonious distinc-
tions. He receives So 900 per annum in
addition to his compensation of 5000
as a member of congress. He appoints
private secretary, with salary of ST.

81 400, and a telegraph operator at
81 200. BY a conventional practice he
also appoints member of the capital

In addition to these privileges he gets

the Vice Presidents chamber, such as
rugs, hric-a-brac, vases, fireplace furni-
ture in rare brass, silver inkstand, and

tingent fund. He Is provided with
many luxuries, and lives a cheerful
life, while he is also power in legis-
iation.
