Following the Fashion Plates.

The patterns sent ouU by pattern houses
are often absurdly elaborate. They are made
up to extract trade and they do not represent
the best taste of fashionable people While
pattern makers have done an inestimable
good in helping mothers to shape the frocks
and clothing of their children, saving hours
of worry and vexation, they have done a
great evil in prolonging in places remote
from the great cities the mania for over elab-
Grafton in the dress of women and children.
Every mother naturally wishes her child to
look pretty and neat, and too many mothers
lured by fashion plates have spent hours Of
toll in making elaborate dresses for their
children, only to find, when the dresses were
finished, that they were ugly and unsatis-
factory. There is but one remedy. Let
mothers take the goods the fashion makers
provide, but avoid all elaborate designs. de-
signs which are put in merely to fill out the
books Make simple clothing for the chill
dren, and enjoy yourself a rest from anxiety
about their dress, and take the pleasure that
comes from neat, orderly household.

It Is too much to ask Of a narrow headed,
no stomached, thin loined man that he should
get inside men and women who struggle day
in and day out, 365 days in every year, and
awake early on New Years morning with
the same necessity before them and the same
impulse prodding them behind to gain that
for which the Apostle prayed-thei' ''daily
bread.n "Give us, )" said that great master Of
affairs; "give us this day our daily bread.n
Imagine a man whose sisters and brothers,
whose cousins and aunts combined him to
make a quintupled millionaire, striving to
understand this heart born petition, this
nervous prayer from weeping eyes, from
hungry stomach and from loving heart,
"give us this day" not next week. not next
year. not some time when we are hungry, but
give us 0 God, "this day our daily bread. ~

The Walk of Woman.

1t cannot be out of place here to suggest
the advisability of opening classes where
children, girls especially, might be taught
the science Of walking. Mothers should be
the natural teachers, but many who are rig
idly careful in all other particulars seem alb
solutely Indifferent on this important point
In fact, after showing them navigation by
means Of their legs, duty is believed to be at
an end, and no matter how wretchedly the
child moves the parent rests satifed with
only spasmodic attempts at correction
Whether the ungraceful wabble the halting
step and painful stoop so commonly seen is
attributable to carelessness or unnatural
dressing, certain it is that six out of every
ten women walk abominably. To be upright
and easy in ones movements is only as ma
ture intended, and unless deformeI there is
not the slightest excuse for the absurd loco
motion noticed on the streets every dav.

The meat question is to be consid-
cred by select committee of five SEN
ators during the coming recess of con-
gress, and it is a question of impor-
tance to the working people of the
country. There is 20 question that
the consumer is paying a very high
price for an inferior article of beet, and
the responsibility lies with the i'm
mense corporations that handle the
bulk of the business in the western
cities. The investigation, if it leads to
adisclOsure of the mOnOpolistic schemes
and the exorbitant profits that are
made by these western concerns, and
thus forces them to be satisfied with
fair profits, will be welcomed by the
country at large. The price of meat is
too high, and can be easily reduced
and still pay fair profits to all who
handle it.

A Harvard Annex Girl's Essay.

In Harvard university the Bowdoin prizes
are the highest rewards attainable for Eng
lish dissertations, and they range from S1OO
downward, being accessible to all students of
the university, undergraduate or graduate.
This, of course, excludes the young lady stu
dents of the Harvard annex, which has no
organic connection with the university.
BY an accident an essay on the subject.
'The Roman Senate Under the Empire .
written by Miss e. B. Pearson, was submitted
to the judges, Professors Torrey and Young.
Without the identity of the writer being dis
covered the judges awarded the ESSAY the
first prize of SlO0 The essay was signed
merely ''E. B. Pearson" The class and de-
partment Of the university were not desig-
mated, as is required, and Professor Torrev
expressed some surprise that the author of SO
able an essay should not have complied with
a provision 50 simple. He searched the cata-
logue Of the university for the name of e. b.
Pearson, and ON not finding it somebody gave
the suggestion that this person might be dis
covered in the annex In this way the fact
came out-the author was a young lady.
SO tho essay Of Miss Pearson was neces-
sarlly ruled out Of the list, and prize of SIS
was awarded to a young gentleman instead.
while Miss Pearson dropped at once from the
Bowdoin prize Of 500 to the humber annex
prize OF $50, thus paying $40 outright for the

A Warming to GhouIs.

One can feel not only respect but esteem
for dynamite, under certain circumstances.
When this potent compound is used as a
warning to ghouls, it appears less as a de-
structive demon than as an angel guarding a
tomb. As such, dynamite was used by an
Indiana man, who placed few cartridges in
the grave where his daughter lay. He did
not try to keep this procedure secret, and
it is safe to say that this tomb will be un-
molested by grave diggers. The Indiana idea,
If generally adopted, will result in a species
Of corpse trust, for it must bring about so
great scarcity Of cadavers as to seriously
affect the grim business of the dissecting

Impurities Not Food.
DEFECTS OF THE PHOSPHATE BAKING
POWDERS LARGE UN-
WHOLESOME RESIDUUM.

We have already CONNECTED upon the
dangerous proposition advanced by the
phosphate yeast or baking powder
makers to daily dose the entire com
muAity, irrespective of its physical
needs or ailments, with lime sulphates
ard phosphates, impurities that are
found in their powders. 1t seems al
most incredible that any sane person
should put forward as an argument in
behalf of an aroicle of food intended
for daily use, the claim that it contains
amongst its impurities a drug which
under certain conditions if propery
prescribed by a physician might be use
iul as a medicine. Physicians will at
once see that to endorse any such
theory as this is even more dangerous
than to reccOmend to their patients the
indesCriminate use of various patent
medicines advertised on every hand as
specifics for all the diseases which flesh
is heir to-
In the recent examination of baking
powders made by the Ohio State Food
Commission the phosphate baking or
yeast powders were found to contain
large quantities Oflime phosphates, lime
sulphates &c, which appeared as impuri-
ties. Their manufacturers have so far
found it impossible to get rid of these
impurities, and this probably accounts
for their remarkable claim that such
impurities are good for us to eat.
The prepOsterous character of this
claim is evident from the fact we'll
known to all physicians that the body
gets with its ordinary food more lime
phOsphates than it can assimilate.
The vital organs are taxed, even in
health, to throw this excess off.
Pure and wholesome baking powders,
as is wcll-knOwn, are made from highly
refined cream of tartar In phosphate
baking or yeast powders phosphate
acid is used as a substitute for cream of
tarter on account of its cheapness.
The ingredients and process used by
well-knOwn manufacturer in the pre-
paration of phosphate baking powders
are in the records of the patent office
at Washington. This is the formula:
500 POUNDS BURNED AND
GROUND BONES are placed
400 POUNDS SULPHURIC ACID
(Oil of NitrioD, freshly diluted
with
1000 POUNDS WATER. and stirred
from time to time for three
days. The paste is mixed with
farinaceous material, or with
freshly burned gypsum, OF with
stearine, and dried and pulver-
lied. This pulverized
acid is to be used with bi-car-
Donate of soda in baking pow
ders.
Bones of defunct animals are gather
ed from, in and about the great cities,
on battle fields, and wherever else they
may be found in quantities. These
bones are reduced to a powder with
sulphuric acid, and this powder is the
substitute used in the cheap phos-
Phatic baking and yeast powders in
lieu of the wholesome aud more expen-
sive cream of tartar.
The sulphuric acid, with the lime
and phosphorus of the bones, produce
the sulphate and phosphate of lime
found in the impuritic baking or yeast
powders.
