In one of his letters to the beautiful Theo-
dosia, Aaron Burr implored his daughter to
cultivate an inaudible laugh, and that is pre-
cisely what fashionable women are doing in
Chicago. The training is individual, and
may be pursued to suit the face, features end
fancy of the anti laugher, who, mirror in
hand, studies her glass continually. If the
chin is pretty in contour and modelling and
teeth white, the pupil must learn to laugh
with her lips, but wear a rigid brow and
steady eyes Are the teeth unsghtly, then
she will have woful time, for the mouth
must be kept closed, and how to laugh with
the eyes and not wrinkle the face is task
Handbooks and teachers of the art of express
sion tell the students to train the eyes to
smile, and caution them against the habit of
tightly closing the eyes when pleasing sem
sation is felt, habit which prematurely
wrinkles the lower lids and works crows feet
about the corners of the eyes.-ChicagoI Inter

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Declared AdnIterated Food and Their
sale Illegal


sale Illegal.
The result of a trial Just concluded at
Canton, N. Y, before Judge Kellogg, will
have q salutary effect IN checking the sale
Of one class of aduiterated food Two
men, named Moon and Akerill. were ar
rested for selling adulterated baking
powder in violation Of the state food
adulteration act. The indictment was
for both selling baking powders that
were inferior, adulterRted and Injurious
To health by reason OF being made from
alum, and for selling them under pres
tense that they were a wholesome, cream
of tartar baking powder. A stubborn
defence was made, the claim being set up
that baking powders were not articles of
food and that the powder defendants were
selling, which was known as Gilletts, was a
standard article of trade, and that alum
baking powders inferior to it. like Davis
and others. were being sold by other
dealers in the same town without COM
plant. The court held that baking pow
ders were articles of food within the
meaning of the law, and the jury found
the defendants guilty upon all the
charges. The case has attracted much
attention from being the first brought
under the State Food AdulteratiOn Act
against dealers in alum baking powders.
The result of the trial is to class such
baking powders as adulterated articles of
food and to make their sale illegal.
There are many alum baking powders
put up in cans, under some name or
brand, in addition to those sold in bulk,
the sale of all of which cautious dealers
will probably be unwilling to continue.

RIDING IN MEXICO.

Lighting IA Cigarette While Sitting ON a
BuCIing Horse-The Secret of 1t.
The great feature of all Mexican riding is
looseness of their seat. II is all done by
balance, And when say "alln it means a
wonderful deal. / have seen a Mexican
named Louis-to be- sure he was accredited
to be the best rider out there, and for my
OWE part cannot conceive that there can
be better in the world-I have seen that
man cross his legs over the horn Of the big
Mexican saddle, and, throwing the reins on
the neck of the horse, calmly roll cigarette
while the horse bucked up and down with
him.
know it is asking great deal to expect
credence for such feat as this, but yet,
whom we consider the pitch of perfection
reached by circus riders among our own
countrymen, the very much higher degree of
excellence attained by one remarkable man
out of a nation whose mombers we may also
say are born on horseback, is not so alto
gether beyond the prospect of belief-though
there is of course an enormous difference be-
tween riding the trained things in circus
and the mustangs caught wild upon the
prari0s. The Mexican saddle, with its great
stirTups and the horn on which the lasso
hangs, gives, of course, very many good
points dappui; but the performances of these
MeXlcanS on bare back nro wonderful enough.
You see n herd of wild horses driven
through the narrow pass of the corral Your
Mexican, with hair rope in his hand, will
drop from the beam above upon the back of
the horse it is wished to reclaim to domestic
uses
In an instant he is away, snorting below
ing, positively shrioking with terror, in the
midst of the laundering stampede of his fell
lows, who are scarce less terrified than him
self. He cannot buck, while the herd presses
closely upon him. The Mexican leans for
ward with the rope in both hands, passes it
over the horses head into the wide open
mouth, and forces is behind his teeth Then
he takes a turn with it under the lower jaw,
and there he has him bitted and bridled
After Il little over half an hour he comes
back with him-broken; not $50 that a child
could ride him" but so that Mexican can
Of course they are small horses. l cannot
say how the Mexicans would fare with one of
those big Australian buckers. They main
tain, however, that this loose seat of theirs
does not irritate horse in the way a grip
with the knees does; and this fully believe
Further than that, l fancy tho solution of the
mystery about those horses which will go
quietly enough with n lady, though a man
can hardly ride thena is to be sought rather
in the method of the lady's seat than, as is
commonly thought, in the superior delicacy
of her fair hands, -Murrays Magazine
