How 60 Overcome the Dangers of Ex-

Francis oReilly, the well known livery man
OF No. IS Prince street. New York, says OF ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs:
For the last forty-two years have been en-
gagged in the livery and hacking business. I
am greatly aided by my four boys. We arc
much exposed TO the weather, and we have
found ALLcocK's PLAsTERs OF very great SER
vice. We use them as chest protectors, placing
one on the chest and one on the pit OF the stom-
ach. They not only ward of the cold, but act
as tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheuma-
tism, kinks In the back, and pairs in the side;
but one or two of ALLooCK's PLAsrERs quickly
cure us. My wife and daughter have been
using ALLcoCK's PLAsTERs for weak back and
think the world of them. / have now been
using them for twenty years, and always have

HEALTHFUL FOOD.

A large proportion of the baking powders in the
market contain Ammonia, Alum, Acid Phos-
pilates, and a matter of prudence housekeepers
should insist upon knowing ALL the ingredients
of their favorite brand. A knowledge of one of
the ingredients is of little value, as it is no
guarantee of the wholesomeness of the others;
hence no reliance should be placed any
baking powder unless the manufacturers plainly
state each and every ingredient used in its
preparation.
If your patronage for baking powder has been
obtained by artfully written advertisements exten-
sively circulated, note carefully whether not
its manufacturers impart to the public knowl
edge of every ingredient that enters into their
compound. Where this information is withheld
would it not be wise to discontinue the use of
that particular kind of baking powder and
purchase instead pure and free from
Objectionable ingredients that there is in it
nothing to conceal?
Clevelands Superior Baking Powder is made
only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar,
Bicarbonate of Soda and small portion of flour,
and does not contain Ammonia, Alum, Lime,
Acid Phosphates, or any adulteration whatever.

Ths pure amber is precious stuff, and the

Seio, thirty miles from Petersburg. which is

great East room in the White House at Wash

, The Florida EattIesnake.

The diamond back" is scientifically
known as crotalus horridus. You will
know what mean; perhaps you will not.
Possibly my statement of that geological
fact will only make cold chills creep down
your back TO no purpose. For the name
itself is appalling, and this perhaps is the
reason that the people Of Florida who
wish to encourage immigration merely al
lude TO diamond backs lightly and cheer
fully rs "rattlersn But there are ''rat-
tiers" arl rattlers. The rattler of the
north is more or less common; few have
gone "huckleberryinS' often without en-
couraging one. The better the ground
and day for finding berries the better
the charc ce for rattlesnakes, too But a
long stick always made short end Of
crotalus adamanteus of northern New
York
Were the engagement with crotalus
horridus Of Florida, should want an
uncommonly long stick, and you might
look with considerable certainty to find

mon name by which this snake Is known
comes from the diamond pattern which
nature, ever liberal with her dyes and
designs, has printed upon its back. Moth
ing could he neater or more becoming.
And, SO far as looks go, this crotslus is
the handsomest and best dressed of his
kind. But, since handsome is that hand
some does" only, the diamond back is not
generally admired in the circles wherein
he moves, breathes and principally has
his being.--St. Nicholas.

A Criticism Of yelapuk.

yolapuk Is now going through Its sec
ond and more deliberate criticism. Sci.
ence contains a careful article by AleKan-
der NJ. Bell, in which he concludes that
Volapuk does not solve the problem Of q
universal language. The system will
meet most favor with nations whose Ian
guages are highly infected. This is not
the trouble with the English language.
He suggests an international committee
of English speakers to suggest such i'm.
provements as would make of ours sim;
pier language, adopted to universal use.
4 committee of the American Philosophi-
cal society, of which the eminent anthrop-
ologist, DIR. D. G. Brinton. was chairman,
has also reported that ''Voiapuk is
synthetic and complex, whereas all mod
ern dialects are becoming more analytic
and simple; the formal elements OF Vola-
puk are those long since discarded by
Aryan speech" But this committee of
eminent scholars urge that as the ances-
tors of all Aryans once used the same
language, so the time is near when once
again unity Of speech can he established

LITERARY NOTES.

The Magazine Of ART for April, has as
as its frontspiece photogravure after a
a painting by Luke Fields, called The
Venilians," which shows that this talented
painter is as much at home with the various
types of Venitian character, as he is with
those of England. The opening paper on
the Language of Line" by Walter Crane,
takes "OutIine" as its special subject. and
is one that no student of drawing can afford
to pass by without careful reading. "The
National Art, and the National Gallery"
BY famed ID. Linton, is another sug-
gestive paper. The second article
on the Forest of Fontainebleau, /"
gives the winter aspect Of that splen-
did DIT or nature, and is cIeverly illustrated
The first OF series of papers on Art
Patrons" begins with Pericles, and may
end with Mary Jane Morgan for all we
know. That would certainly make 1t COM
prehensive. A reproduction of q. +.
Watts's Love aid DEATH" from 9 red
chalk drawing by the artist, Is given In Q
full page: it deserves 1t. The drawing
was originally made by Mr.. Watts for the

The Ohio State Journal, of Saturda,

The Ohio State Journal, of Saturday
morning, says:
The Springfield REPuBLIc Is advising the
Ohio, Indiana i Western railway folks to
make their eastern connections hereafter
with the Erie road, via the Nypano. That
would be roundabout way, indeed. The
true eastern terminus of the Ohio, Indiana
& Western is at Columbus, and their direct
eastern connection Is with one of the great
trunk lines running from this city. The
REPUBLIC tells the Ohio. Indiana & West
ern people that their passage from Spring
field to Columbus over the branch
line of the Cleveland, Sandusky &
Columbus is precarious, and entirely
dependent on the goodwill of the latter
company. But how much better would it
be to be entirely dependent on the good will
of the Nypsno. for reaching the Erie. No
danger of any refusal of the G. S. & C. to
carry the business OF the o. |. & W. from
Springfield to Columbus. as the branch be-
tween these two cities will thereby be made
In all probability the most profitable portion
of the c. S. & {. lines. Besides that. it is
not unlikely that the separate existence of
these two roads will be of short duration.
and that they will become more firmly con-
solidated than ever before. Until then it
will be for their mutual profit and convent
ence to continue fast friends.
We did not understand that we were ad-
vising the o. l. & W. people. Were we to
make suggestion We would advise the o.
1. & W. to make permanent arrangement
with the G. S. & c. to Use its track from
Springfield to Columbus, or if that were not
possible, to build new line between the
two cities, as has already been proposed,
and, at the same time, make running
connection to New York with the Erie peo-
pie. Then 1t would have two eastern con-
nections-ons with New York and the
other with Baltimore, and each running
through territory Of its own, and neither,
therefore, competing with the other. The
REPUBLIC is friendly to all of the lines
mentioned and does not wish to dscrimu-
ate against any of them.

MYSTIC LETTERS

C0urted lady and called her dear bunny
He swcre in his letters to her he'd be true,
And ended each letter with K. NJ. Q.
But alas the duration of true love was
short,
And was promptly invited to court,
Where he tried to explain, it was only .
trick,
For X. NJ. Q. simply meant, Come Kiss
Me Quick"
We hear every day of large railroad, too,
That's known through the land rs the C..
b. go;
Alas all their engineers went or a strike
They can't get car moved, try as they like;
You see they've been paying poor wages
for years
And that's why they lost all their bes,
engineers;
Now just let the company offer good pay
Aud then business and men will return
right away;
Then the c. B, Il Q. need not ell so sick
The letters will then mean Come Back
Quick.
There's deep hidden meaning both useful
and true
Contained in the monogram b. c. @.
1t means that by unanimous vote
The lowest priced clothier is j. NJ. Knote I;
The spring line he bought is the finest in
town
And the goods are all marked with the
prices way down.
Now, should you be needing a spring suit
or coat.
There no one to serve you as cheaply as
KnOte,
And those that come early will get the best
pick,
For b. c. O. signifies, Buy Clothing

gen'rm'n. Nasty bit. that ere.' says my
father. We'll, Mr.. Weller, you're pretty
