THE GREATEST LOCKOUT
That has ever occurred in this sec.
tion of the country would occur ina
few hours.
Just after noon the proprietors of
each brewery met the men and in
formed them that their services were
no longer wanted, that they had
unanimously decided to be their own
bosses and would not submit to any
thing dictatorial from their men.
However, if the men sought re-em-
ployment as individuals and would
disconnect themselves from the unions
they would get work. The men passed
quietly TO the cashiers desks after
they had heard what the proprietor
had to say, received their weekly pay
and departed at noon. According to

PARIS, April 16.-Gen. Boulanger
has written a characteristic letter to
electors Of the Department OF the
Nord, in which he says that the 18TH
of April will henceforth be marked in
the annals of France as the date of her
true deliverance. He praises the
electors for their perseverance and
patriotism, and says they under
stood his profession of faith,
although the police did not.
what France demands, says he, what
the electors have affirmed through my
name is necessarily of constituent
assembly before which all ambitions
will be effaced, and which will give
the people the large place they ought
to occupy under a Republic. This
has always been promised them, but
Systematically withheld. We will la
bor to make the Republic respected
and indestructible.

The Danrer Befnre -.

We have already alluded to the impOr-
tance to housekeeperspaying more atten-
ton 10 the kind of baking powder used
in leavenng their bread. This is mat
ter to which we cannot draw attention
too often, because it is something which
involves the most serious consequences
10 the general body of mankind. Tenn
perance apostles tell us-and there is
ample foundation for the slatemeni-that
there is disease both moral and physical,
in the intoxicating cup; and in the same
way there is disease, slow perhaps. but
certain, in the lime and alum leavcning
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. In the
belief Of the truth of such statements such
baking powders are largely used in the
preparation of food, and in this way the
poisonous ingredients are taken into the
system without suspicion OF their pres
ence. By and by come spells of headache
distress in the stomach, loss OF appetite, a
fluttering Of the heart the child is seized
with an apparently causeless cough. The
coating Of the stomach Is destroyed, per-
haps one Of the vital organs is rendered
almost useless the kidneys are attacked
with Brights disease. The health of the
child is irreparablev broken down the
adult becomes a chronic invalid. These
are the doings of the modern cheap bak-
ing powders that are composed OF lime
and alum, or that contain sulphuric or
phosphate acids
In view OF these facts surely all house
wives should exercise the care that Is,
we know, now exercised by some In The
selection of a proper brand OF baking
powder She who does not do so, whether
the neglect is the result OF ignorance or
recklessness, cannot free herself from the
responsibility for the health, perhaps life,
thereby endangered. No housewife need
be ignorent of the quality and compost
tion ofthe article which she Uses 10 leayen

reports of the government chemists, who
are certainly unprejudiced, have been
Published and show very clearly the
quality and strength of all the baking
powders in the market. The Royal Bak
ing Powder, which is accessible at every
hand, Is reported absolutely free from
lime, alum, phosphate acid, or any inju-
rious Ingredient. It is further stated by
the most eminent authorities on food hv-
giene that food leavened with il is more
Wholesome than when raised by
any other method. It's use Is therefore
to be commended 1t is to be regretted
that no other baking powder, when there
are so many in the market, some of which
will find their way into use. is free from
all of these substances. The official an
alysts assure us, however, that all except
the Royal contain either line or alum.
The housekeeper who REGARDS the health
of her loved ones should not only order
the Royal, but make personal examination
to be sure that no other brand is sent her

THE NOBLE JAMES
Getting on a Moderate Spree, but Behsv-

Yesterday evening at 8 o'clock the
noble James had reached an height suffl-
cient to cover the wharves at Rockets
and had backed the water up In Gillle's
creek so "a 10 cover the ground on either
side AT Mayos' bridge the water was
about eight feet high, and slightly rising
kilograms from above said that there
was no great rise In the river, nor Is
there any fear among people along the
water.line that there will be anything
like food. The water is coming down
SO gradually that the river below the city
will empty the unusual volume into
Dutch Gap without any great back up.
I, is believed that nothing beyond the
ordinary high freshet is at present
threatened.
The steamboats, and steamships loading
and unloading at the Rockets wharfs
are inconvenience
Had there been much snow In the
mountains the situation would have been
very different. In that case there would,
in all probability, have been tremendous
freshel. The melting snow added TO the
steady rains would have produced vol
ume of water which would have made
the james spread itself beyond its usual
bounds.
