A Boston Dog Story.

A young girl was crossing the Public
Garden, the other morning, upon the
main path which crosses the bridge.
She was accompanied by a magnificent
mastiff, who strobe along beside her in
the most companionable sort of way,
looking up into her face occasionally, as
if to remark casually that it was very
fine morning, or to ask if there was
anything he could do for her. The two
crossed the bridge together and finally
came to the Charles street gate. Here
the young girl, evidently not wishing
to have the care of the dog in the busy
streets, turned to him and said: "There,
that is far enough now, Marco. You
need not 90 with me any farther, but
turn about and go back home" She
did not take her hands out of her muff
to point the way, and she spoke as she
would to a small brother, in pleasant
conversational voice. Marco looked at
her with his large eyes, then looked
across the Common, wagging his tail
slowly, as though he was thinking how
very pleasant it would be to go the rest
of the way. Finally he turned back to
her again, and with movement of his
head and eyes asked, as plainly as though
the words had come from his mouth:
Please let me go little farther; it is
such fine morning." mo, dear, I'm
going shopping, you know" answered
the girl, explaining the difficulty, as if
Marco were human; "there will be
crowds of people, and | shall not know
what to do with you. But 90 along now,
there's a good fellow, and I'll be back
very soon" Without another word
Marco turned and walked back across
the Garden. He did not stink away,
as some dogs do when sent back, but
marched leisurely along with his head
in the air, stopped a moment on the
bridge to watch the children skating
below and then trotted on toward Com
monwealth avenue.-BOStOn Journal.

The Chimpanzee in Central Park.

Crowley's worst quality is the ire
sistible propensity to destroy every OBJ
ject he can lay his hands on, including
live animals. A dog or cat he will AL
most instantly tear to pieces. A tiny
monkey brought by lady on her
shoulder made him so wild that he
acted like maniac. He threw handful
after handful OF sawdust all over his
and cried, Hoo! hoo" at it, aud
lastly he spit at it. This is one of the
bad tricks he has learned from ill-bred
and teasing boys who visit him, and he
has become so expert that he can reach
his mark eight feet away. This la
mentable destructive tendency de-
mands a strong guard-rail before the
cage at the length of Mr.. Crowley's
arm; for he is always ready to thrust
out one of those long, sinewy mem
bers and snatch at hat, parasol, or any,
thing he can reach. Once in his
clutches, it is lost. A Park policeman
stood one day talking to him, inside
the rail by virtue of his office. Crowley
sat on the floor close by the bars alb
sorbed in contemplation of his brand
new white gloves. Very gently he
pulled the tips of the fingers one after
the other, quietly loosening them, till
suddenly, like a flash, he snatched it
off and bounded to the back of his
cage. In vain the hapless policeman
commanded and coaXed, begged and
threatened. Mr.. Crowley, entirely I'M
moved, sat calmly down to enjoy his
prize. First he put it on his hand,
using his teeth to help, and then held
it up for the audience to see, with
every finger spread, grinning with de-
light. But not being able to arrange it
to his satisfaction, he tore it to strings,
and passed happy fifteen minutes
while reducing it to its primitive state
of thread, holding one part in the
bend of the thigh-the monkeys con-
veniet pocket-while he worked on
another.-O 1horne Miller, IN Cos

OF HEALTH-THE NAMES OF THE ALUM
BRANDS PU1L1sHED-THE METHODS BY
WHICH THEY ARE soLD-NECESsITY FOR A
NATIONAL PURE FOOD LAW.
The Massachusetts, State Board of
Health, like the State Food Commission
of Ohio, publishes the names of the
alum powders found on sale within its
jurisdiction as the most effective way
to prohibit the sale of what it classes as
detrimental article of food. The re-
port names twenty-seven brands Of
alum baking powders detected, many of
which will be recognized by house
keepers who have been using them
under the representation that they were
pure and wholesome cream of tartar
baking powders. Being cheaply made,
these goods are sold to the retail dealer
at price that affords him a large profit,
and the retail dealer, probably unaware
of their nature, is induced to push their
sale in place of pure powders, upon
which the profits are smaller. In this
way they are being placed in consider
able quantities into the hands of con-
sumers who have not a suspicion of
their real character. Alum baking
powders have been legally declared
adulterated articles of food in the state
of New York, and several parties have
been convicted of violating the food
adulteration laws in selling them. The
prevalent method of disposing of these
goods, where it is not prohibited by law,
is by accompanying each package with
a gift or lottery ticket. In several states
acts have been passed making this a
misdemeanor. In such localities manu-
facturers of alum baking powders who
regard the law have been compelled to
reduce the price from thirty or forty to
twenty cents per pound, at which rate
they are now generally sold without a
gift. AS an illustration of the low value
of the alum baking powders, the fact
is stated that one of them, no worse
than the others, is sold at five cents a
pound. The extent to which the poorer
classes, which are the chief users, are
imposed upon when they are charged
from twenty to forty cents for a similar
article is quite apparent. The follow
ing are the names of the alum baking
powders as given by the reports of the
Massachusetts, State Board of Health.

How INTELLIGENT WOMEN De-
CIDE.-When the question has to be met

viz, a course of self-treatment with DIR.

for tbe CHILDREN.
Best OF All.

The baby grasps at the empty air
And sees a wonderful sight,
For the great old sdeboard over there
Is shining with silver bright.
The grandfather bangles his watch of gold
And she hears the wheels go ctck,
And she tries in her pin-cushon hands to hold
That bull's-eye" round and thick.
They are wonderful things that the baby sees
But, when she is tired OF ALL
And they wrap her up from the evening breeze
When the shadows begin to fall
She is tired of the noisy and busy world
Too tired to go to sleep
And she won't sit up and she won't stay cured,
And she only wakes to weep;
And she's suddenly caught in a tender hold
Where she even forgets to stir
And what to baby silver and gold
When her mother smiles down at her2

ALUM BAKING POWDERS

While many of the alum baking pow
ders named are only known locally,
others are found in almost all sections
of the country. Those of largest sale
are made in New York and Ohio. An
avoidance of the brands named by the
Ohio and Massachusetts state authori-
ties will not insure against the use of
the Objectionable articles altogether,
for the manufacturers, when the fact is
published that a particular brand con-
tains alum, will simply change the
name, and the sale goes on as before.
Large quantities of these goods are
also sold in bulk, by weight, while
there are hundreds of different brands
put up by small dealers in different
parts of the country where the public
analyst is not yet known. Official ex-
aminations like those by the Massa-
chusetts and Ohio authorities, which
give reliable information as to the
real qualities of articles of food, and
furnish guide by which consumers
can determine the pure and whole
some from the impure and dangerous
without chance of mistake, are of great
public benefit. The Massachusetts,
analysts have also tested the various
cream of tartar and phosphate baking
powders sold in the state, and their re-
port that the Royal Baking Powder is
superiorto all others in purity and whole
someness, and contains nearly twenty
per cent more strength than any other, is
quite as important to consumers as the
information relating to the alum pow
ders. The exact determination as to
strength of the several brands was as
follows, the figures representing the
number of cubic inches of leavening
gas from one ounce of powder: Royal,
1865; Cleveland's, 1917; Congress,
S1.2; Horsford's, OIL. A very earnest
effort is being made to secure the
passage by congress of a law that shall
foster the trade in pure food. The
proposed law provides for the eXamina-
ton of manufactured articles of food,
drink and drugs, and for the publica-
ton, in the manner already adopted in
Ohio and Massachusetts, of the names
of those brands found adulterated or
injurious to health. A law of this
character that shall impose suitable
penalties upon importers and manufac-
turers of such commodities will be of
vital importance to the whole country.

THE man who spends the Sabbath at
home, sleeping, resting, talking, or
reading newspapers, is doing better
than the hundreds who pass his door in
pursuit of pleasure in travelling and
visiting. His way also is very much
better than that of those who devote
their time to coarse and debasing eX-
elements. But there is something
better still-the reverent worship of
God with his people and communion
through his Word, Why shall not all
choose United Presbyterian.
