The Duty Before Us.

We have already alluded to the impOr-
lance of housekeepers paying more attttn
ton to the kind OF baking powder used in
leavening their bread. This is a matter 10
which we cannot draw attention too often,
because it IS something which involves the
most serious consequences to the general
body of mankind Temperance apostles
tell us-and there is ample foundation for
the statement-thatt there is disease. both
moral and physical, in the Intoxicating
cup; and in the same way there is disease.
slow perhaps, but certain, i'll the lime and
alum eavening agents employed in many
of the homes on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poisonous
alum and lime baking powders before the
public with the assurance that they are
| pure and wholesome articles. rsaln the be-
| lief of the truth of such statements such
baking powders are largely used In The
preparation of food and in the way the
poisonous ingredients are taken into the
system without a suspicion OF ther pres
ence. BY and by come spells of headache,
| distress in the stomach, loss OF appetite, a

with Bright's disease. The health of the
child is irreparably broken down; the adult
| becomes chronic invalid. These are the
doings of the modern cheap baking pow
ders that are compo'ed of lime and alum,
or that contains sulphuric acids.
In view of these facts surely all house
wives should exercise the care that is, we
know now exercised by some in the selec
tion of proper brand of baking powder.

is free from all of these substances. The
official analysis assure us, however. that
all except the Royal contain either lime or

health of her loved ones should not only
order the Royal. but make personal ex
animation to be sure that no other brand
is sent her in its place.

A LITTLE BOY JOCKEY.
Too Late at the Starting PoIe-Plucks
Energy and Skill Win at Last.

Too Late at the Starting PoIe-Plucke
Energy and Skill Win at Last.
One of the most interesting features of the
day was the conduct of a pretty little boy
who appeared as jockey. He was gaudily
dressed and his suit was evidently new. His
name, as scrawled on the judges slate, looked
like Ossber. He had a mount in the second
race, and did little figuring in trying to Sc
cure a start. Nevertheless he looked up to
snuff and many bet on his horse, believing
that the little fellow knew all about riding.
More than a dozen false starts were made.
Finally, with his horse at the pole, the starter
dropped the red flag and away went all but
little Ossber. He was evidently confused.
The starter raped the pole with his flagstaff
ard yelled Cor frantically in the Jockeys
ears, but the horse moved not. 1t was too
late and the little fellow rode slowly to the
paddock entrance. where he dismounted and
burst into storm of sohs.
Not spectator laughed Those who had
bet on him swore little, but the child's grief
WAS too genuine to excite anything but pity.
He had another mount in the fourth race,
and many were the expressions of sympathy
as he cantered by the grand stand in warm
ing up heat before the call TO the post. The
time for the start came, and the little fellows
lips were shut close together as he held his
horse with a stiff rein and furtively watched
the rival jockeys. There were four starters.
After several trials they got away all in
bunch. So closely were they punched that
when they came to the first turn, which was
almost Immediately, the four horses We're
wedged against each other, their sides and
TANKS steaming with the sudden and hot
friction The outside jockey was nearly
thrown III the confusion Ossber had his
horse next but one to the pole, and was badly
squeezed by his rivals. With energy and
skill that were really admirable, he pressed
the spurs into his horse, and, leaning away
forward, seemed to be helping her out of the
rucb by main strength.
Stride 10y stride the animal pushed her nose
to the fore, and when they were all past the
turn, Ossber was ahead at the much desired
pole But he was hot pressed, and as he
went aying past the grand stand on the first
round his teeth We're still shut closely to-
gether, ami his face had an anxious look.
The next time around he had opened the dis,
tance between him and the second horse, and
was sure OF victory. His fpS opened wide as

bows eyes Not satisfied with winning, be

crowd cheered heartily, and the losers IN this
event could not restrain a smile OF sympathy

IS to stampede the convention for

WASHINGTON, April 23.-One OF
the most intimate friends of Blaine
said today he did not think candi-
dates for the Presidential nominal

to secure an organization
for themselves on account of Blaine.
He ought to be taken at his word
and should be considered as not a

thought it would be very unwise for
Blaine, under existing conditions,
% permit his friends to allow his
lame to 60 before the Convention

mated. To become in any sense a 1
