with which our children are afflicted
Persons who have not strong con.
situations, growing girls, young chill
dren and nursing mothers are particu-
larly liable to the evil effects produced
by the introduction of the adulterants
dname as found in the cheap baking
powders. Heartburn and the prev
alent forms of indigestion are often
solely traceable to the action OF alum
on the delicate coats of the stomach.
Prof. Willard Parker, U. S. Sur
geon-General Hammond Prof. Alonzo
Clark, most eminent physicians of
New York, with scores of Others, have
written and spoken most earnestly of
the evils arising from partaking of
such food. There should be as much
care in the choice of a baking powder
as in obtaining pure milk or in having
a prescription compounded from pure
drugs and not from pOisOns.
The matter is one of the creates i'm.
portance' particularly to the rising
SeHerdIIOu, duu WIFI our CoHSCiN a1ifC
law makers are making up their minds
as to the proper legislation to stop the
sale of the poisonous compounds, moth
ers will do well to study it carefully.
The housekeeper will experience no
Inconvenience in discarding the use of
the adulteraied b king powder, if she
has been using it, as the Royal bak-
ing Powder upon the purity and whole
somene s of which all the Government
chemists agree, s equally accessible
but she will need to exercise close
watch upon her packages from the
grocer in order to prevent the inferior
brands from creeping into her kitchen
unawares.
In what we have felt it our duty
to say in reference to the subject OF
baking powder there is no intention
to disparage the work or the products
of those many manufacturers in other
lines of food products who, with con-
scientiousness and liberallty, are SER

A Sheep Drive.

Much has been said and written
about the difficulty Of driving a pig
but an episode occurred on Lamine
street yesterday with thorouga bred
South down ram which completely dis
counted anything ia the hog line.
An honest teuton farmer who had
purchased the sheep, undertook to
drive it, or lead it bone with rope at
tached about It's neck, but his sheep
ship not being as gentle as Mary's
proverbial lamb, entered such a Wig
orous protest that his owner found it
impossible to make any progress
whatever. Finally despairing of sue
cess and completely worn out and dis
gusted be tied the rope about his
horses neck and mounting proceeded
to pull the sheep along by horse
power. This proved a hard task
also, and more than once che terrific
plunges of the angry ram brought the
cortege to a dead halt, but the free
use of spurs caused the equine to
again proceed with his double burlh-
en-. At the corner of Sixth street,
however, the angry ram, finding his
efforts 10 break the halter fIui less,
concluded to try other tactics and
with a sudden plunge came furiously
against the horses heels. The horse
was somewhat staggered, but recover,
ing himself he returned the cOmpli-
ment with a kick so vigorous that it
landed the sheep the full length of
the tether from him. This was an in
suit too great to be borne, and after
gathering himself once more together
the ram made another and
more vicious rush at the
offending horse whose rider in
great excitement was crying who
Shu a Who a! Shu a! At the top
of his voice and at the same time try
ing to dismount. In an instant more
there was a general mixing in the
road which presented confused out
line of sheep, horse and man with
legs, arms and clothing flashing
about in all directions. 1t soon be-
gan to dissolve, however, and as the
enraged ram disappeared down one
street and the horse down another the
honest teut1n raised himself to sit
ting position and gazing a moment
after their fleeing figures muttered
"Mine Colt, vot kind of Sleeps
vus dose anyhow ?" Then slowly
rising he limped off after his horse.

Because no harm Immediately per.

of an article of food, no thought is
given to to the effect it may have up
on the more delicate organs of inferior
age.
Children diet largely upon cake and
bread, and these articles, if light,
sweet and composed of materials that
are free from injurious substances, are
easily digested, nutritious and whole
some. There is danger to our chill
dren however, lurking in their bread
and cake which is too often lost sight
of. These articles are now leavened
largely by baking powders, and
when pure and wholesome baking
powders are used they make not only
the most palata pIe food, but one much
more wholesome and nutritive than if
leavened with yeast or cream of tartar
and soda The trouble arises from
the fact as shown by recent scientific
tests by the Government chemists and
by official boands of health, that all
these baking powders, with the single
exception of the Royal, contain either
lime, alum, phosphates,or acids of an
injurious character. Therefore when

New England Agriculturist Who Was
Proud OF His Forty Acre Patch.
An interesting type of a way-back
down-easter recently walked into the
office of the leading hotel in Portland,
Maine. Putting his antiquated carpet
bag down on the counter within easy
reach, he proceeded to slowly spell out
the names on the register, unmindful
of the fact that half dozen other gen.
tlemen were behind him, patiently
waiting their turn to interview the
gentlemanly representative of the pro-
prietOr, who smilingly awaited their
pleasure behind the book

Most aSsuredly not. sir. But excuse
me-these gentlemen are waiting for q

Then. with effort and much contor-
ton, in chirography more suggestive
of stump fences than penmanship. he
wrote his name, adding, in the column
devoted to residences, Country" in
bold, though labored letters.
"Therer' he exclaimed. when ne had

- Oh
from the ConprapationaIist I


This disease seems to be growing each year
more common. 1t is an outgrowth of mod
ern civilization, and occurs only in persons
who possess a certain special susceptibility
of the nervous system, either hereditary or
acquired. It is more common in men than
women, and prevails largely among men of
letters and intellectual culture. The exciting
cause is now well ascertaned to be the pollen
of certain plants, such as the grasses, rye,
wheat, oats, ragweed and Roman wormwood
The pollen of different plants excites it in
different persons, but whatever cause pro-
duces it once will produce it again in the
same person. Hence it appears oftentmes
with strict regularity year after yea1, at sea-
sons varying from May to October The
first symptoms are those of itching of the
eyelids and nasal passages, followed by fire.
quent sneezing and the discharge of serous
fluid. Henry Ward Beecher, himself suf-
ferer, says: "You never before even sus-
pected what it really was to sneeze. If a
pane of glass is gone you sneeze. If you
look into the sunshine you sneeze. If you
-sneeze once you sneeze twenty times 1t is a
riot of sneezes. First, single one, like
leader in flock of sheep, bolts over; and
then;in spite of all you can do, the whole flock
come dashing over in twos, in fives, in bunch
es of twenty" Next, there is redness and
watering of the eyes, swelling of the mucous
membrane of the nose and general febrile
symptoms. Sometimes the nose is entirely
closed by the swelling Cough follows, more
or less frequent and violent, generally with
but little expectoration. In a certain pro-
portion of cases there are paroxysms of asth-
ma, more or less severe. After variable
duration the sneezing ceases, the discharge
becomes thick and less abundant, the swell
ing subsidies and all the SYMPTOMS abate.
The only method of preventing the disease
in susceptible persons is to avoid exposure to
the exciting cause. Certain localities have
gained wide notoriety from the immunity
which they afford from this disease. Beth
lehem, N. H, is one of the most famous of
these. Others are found among the noun
tains at the, seaside and on islands. A voy-
age at sea always gives relief.

Game Shooting I'm the West.

The shooting is never as good for water
fowl on the Littles Missouri or elsewhere
throughout the cattle country as it is in the
ward Still occasionally we can make fair
bags. The little teal are the commonest and
least shy of the water fowl. AS they sit out
on a sandbar they often let boat drift close
up to them, and it is quite easy also to creep
within gun shot from the bank. 1 have
killed eleven of them with single barrel.
The mallard duck, shoveler duck and broad
bill are also common and afford excellent
sport These, however, are shyer and will
rarely let a boat drift down upon them un-
less one is able to take advantage of some
cover or come quickly round the point
Geese are more wary still. Quite number
of these breed with US; sometimes in the
river, sometimes in the reedy slews or pools
far up in the creeks, out in the bad lands or
on the prairie. When they are moulting it
is not difficult to get them if one cares to-
and on such occasions, although there cannot
them, yet have shot the young birds for the
table, for there can be no better eating than
o fat, three parts grown young goose. When
their feathers are grown, however, the geese
show themselves most amply fit for self-pro-
lection. and it needs then very careful stalk
ing indeed before one can come up to them
In addition to the water fowl proper to be
obtained while drifting or padding down
the river, there are also at times focks of
waders at which one can get shot. Avo,
Gets, stills, yelper, marlin and yellow legs
are all occasionally found, although not
plenty. They are not apt to be very shy,
and if shot is taken just as they rise as
