Remarkable Ignorance.

Speaking Of the Italian colony IN New

mopoittnn. The remarkable Ignorance
IF America that they are enabled to main
tain under such circumstances is illus
trated by a fact that | have from Mr..
Alright. He SAYS that the Indifference
Of his Countrymen to the privileges Of
naturalization arises chiefly from an idea
they have that if they become citizens
they arc liable to be drafted into the
army, that prospect being the bette noIr
If the pcasantry throughout Europe.
Here is one Of the methods tof which he
nas a knowledge all too widel by which
he wilicr and more experienced Italians
impose on their Countrymen. They elect
10 act as middle-men between the chart
table institutions, particularly those that
care OF children, and their bcncticiarjcs.
For instance, a woman having several
thildrcn, more than she can care for
while earning their living, will be told
BY some man of her acpuaimancethat for
L certain sum, say a dollar and a half a
awcek, She can place one Of the children
IN an institution where it will be we'll
provided ior. She grasps eagerly at the
prospect. lIc then goes to the establish
mcnt. say the Five Points House of In
lustry, or the New York Juvenile Asv.
Jun, represents the woman as helplcssIy
poor and himself AZ acting in her behalf,
md GETS the child received free: there
liter he, 81 course. goes on pockctlng his
lollar and n half Il week indefinitely.
50 much Of this has been done that most
IF the institutions now refer all Italian
applicants TO Mr., Alright, who person
ally investigates the cases.

The startling fact is brought out
by the report that Of the thirty din

a substance declared by the high al
medical authorities to be Injurious IT,

The Commission classify the bak
ing powders into three general divis.
ions, according To their value:
lst. Cream of Tartar baking pow.

I'd. Phosphate Baking Powder.
81. Alum Baking Powders.
The Commission explains that the
best baking powder is that which, the
ingredients being healthiul gives of
the largest amount Of leavening gas
and leaves the smallest amount Of
residuum in the bread. A small
amount Of carbonate 81 ammonia.
which is considered beautiful, is used
in some of the cream of tartar pow
