A general taking down of signs occurred
to-day on 5th avenue and other business
thoroughfares in the city The general
appearance of the city is very much inn
proved by removing the numerous sie.ls
formerly projecting over the walks. A
small neat sign just below the show Win
dows of each business house would be
very effective, and add to the decidedly
metropolitan tone of the city.-St. CIond

MARION HARLAND'S OPINION OF
BAKING POWDERS.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists
and hy6 enists as to the relative value of
the va. Gus baking powders. a careful
sitting Of the evidence leaves no doubt as
to the supel -o1.ty of the Royal baking
powder in pul --ty. wholcsomcncss and
strens III, from a scientific standpoint.
An opinion, however, that will weigh
heav ier than any othe- with Our practi-
cal house-keepers, is that given by Ma
rian Harland, the best known and most
popular of American WI tiers upon mat
tiers pertaining to the science of domestic
economy, Of housekeeping, and home
cooking. In a recent letter to the Phila-
delphia ladies home Journal, this WI ter
81 regard the Royal baking powder as
the best manufactured and in the mar
ket, so far as have any expe, fence in the
use of such compounds. Since the intro
duction of it into my kitchen three years
ago, l have used no other in making bis
cults, cakes, ETC., and have entirely dis
carded for such purposes the homemade
combination of onc-third soda, two
thirds cream of tartar. Every box has
been in perfect condition when it came
into my hands, and the contents have
given complete satisfaction. 1t is an act
of simple justice, and also pleasure, to
recommend it unqualifedly TO Amer ican
housewives. MARION HARLAND,

Why should men, women and children
die of disease at all? There is no pro-
vision for death in early life except by
accident, ignorance of the laws of health
and neglect of duty toward our neigh
Dor on the part of somebody. E.
Why do some die, and some recover
Why should disease be fatal at all? Fa-
tality is connected to some extent with
the surroundings in which the patient
has lived before ihe became affected, and
is living al the time at which the dis
ease commences in 8 given district II
there has been a large number of fatal
cases of Inflammation of the lungs. you
may be certain that the air of that dis
trict is not so pure as it ought TO be. and
the habits of the inhabitants are not so
prudent as they might be. No man dies
of Inflammation of the lungs in middle
lie, or indeed of any acute disease, be il
what it may, If he has lived healthily
both as to habits and character Of sur
roundings.
II a district has death rate of twenty
four in the 1000, it is double what it
ought to be. The half Of the deaths
which take place might have been pre-
vented If the people would obey the laws
Of health, keep their houses and their
persons clean, dispose Of their e1creta in
. proper way, and be temperate in their
habits Of living, and at the same time do
their duty TO their neighbor By avoiding
the sophisticatioo OF articles Of diet, or
the mischief Of adulterztion.-Dr. Alfred

Amusements Of the Judge and jury"
The "'Canaries'-The Teapot Club"
A short tour through the East End Of
London has convinced Us that the clubs
thereabouts are equally as singular es the
curious contests held IN that quarter.
One Of the most amusing is the Judge
and Jury. This is society formed for
the purpose Of trying mock charges
among its members, and is usually held
in the parlor of some convenient public
house once week in the winter months,
and at stated intervals at the present
time. Stepney, Lmehouse. Whitechapel,
Spitalfelds and other typical East End
localities all have their Judge and Jury.
The charges" are always of most out
rageous as well as humorous description.
Many years ago bird fanciers' clubs
were much in vogue. but there are very
few IN existence now. One of these was
for the purpose Of relieving brother bird
catcher when IN distress of q peculiar
kind The law only allows birds to be
caught ct certain times Of the year, and
representatives Of the lime and twig
found laying down their bait out Of sea
son were subjected to severe penalties A
weekly payment of Sd. or Cd. to the funds
of the society was sufficient to secure
prompt payment Of the penalty if caught
thus infringing the law.
Another club, peculiar to the bird
catching fraternity. was once a recog-
nized institution, and we believe, although
1t is not conducted on such large scale
nowadays, that interested parties still
meet and talk the matter over in small
way. The members are known as The
Canaries, and the latest idea or dodge dis
covered in transforming the humble spar.
TOW into a more aristocratic bird by
changing it's coat to another color was
discussed and experiments made on the
table. 1t was said. too, and on good au-
thority, that these men were in the habit
Of further experimenting on the birds by
piercing them with red hot needles in or
der to make them sing better. but one of
the Oldest dealers in Bird Fair assured
the writer that this latter experiment had
never been done to his knowledge.
You will find IN the east clubs for pick
pockets and their brethren. clubs for beg
CARS, who mass their takings in the way
of victuals together and partake of q
meal from the same dish; but one of the
most curious is the Teapot club. This
society is supported by the frequenters Of
cheap lodging houses, whose limited ez-
chequer will allow them to occasionally
partake of the fragrant cup. The teapot
of the lodging house parlor is the COM
mon property of the tenants, and in many
Of the houses woman has it given into
her charge. while those who wish for a
mug of tea every evening can have the
same guaranteed on payment of from Id.
to Id per week With the subscriptions
from the dodgers ''siftings at Is per
pound" are purchased and brewed accord
hgly.
A club. too, exists in the east, only
open to men who have met and conquered
some recognized champion in the pugilis-
tic world; but among some of the most
curious we are inclined TO number those
devoted to gambling for such small
stakes as permits lads to enter the arena
OF speculation and-lose. There are
scores Of these places in London.-Lon-

A Sad Waste of Energies.

Could old Garrett have lived and con-
himself. the Vanderbilts, Goulds and
Astors would have fallen far behind him
in wealth, influence and position. But
his time came in due course, and in the
hope of perpetuating the family name, he
left his son Robert to carry out the
schemes he himself had originated Up
to that time Bob" Garrett had been .
roisterer. a Bohemian, night bowler, a
good fellow. He had never been bust
ness man. and when he tackled the vast
enterprise over which his father had pre-
sided he did not altogether let go of his
former career. He had not the applica-
ton born Of life long industry. It wor-
riei, annoyed aud hustered him to be
fastened TO his desk four or five hours o
day, and TO be in consultation on matters
Of great and serious import the remainder
of his time
He sought exhilaration in champagne
when exhausted with the mental strain
of days labor. That untitled him for
the beginning of another day Of hard
work, and it began to be noticeable that
Garrett was growing eccentric. He bought
hundreds Of suits of clothes, spent bar
rels of money on great banquets, and tried
TO make himself and the world believe
that he was enjoying life IN an easy and
nonchalant manner. Instead of husband
ing his energies. he dissipated them, and
when he came in contact with the ablest
minds in the world, and set his abilities
up against the acutest and most cunning
Of his race, be speedily found himself en-
tangled in the meshes Of . net that meant
his ruin Threatened destruction Of the
vast fabric created By his father was

KILLEN In TRAINING.
He Has Sworn off Smoking and
Chewing.

Chewing.
Pat Killen under the tutelage of Prof.
John III. Clark is located at the Airing
ton hotel near Fort Smelling where he is
undergoing a course of training for his
approaching encounter with Patsy
Cardiff. Before accepting the position
Clark made Kiilen promise that he
would abstain from all bad habits such
as smoking. chewing and drinking, even
soft drinks being restricted. While out
for the first walk Thursday Clark went
ahead of his protege for few steps and
turning around to look at him found him
putting away at cigar. Without vast
ing any. time in talk the professor
waited for klllen to get alongside when
he quickly struck the cigar from his
mouth.
This was something new for the big
fellow and he turned quickly and de-
handed what Clark meant by smashing
him in the face?
THAT was the only way that I could
convince you that / am in earnest in my
training" replied the professor, and at
this explanation Killen smiled and shook
hands with the professor, Teiterating his
resolution not to again disobey orders.
Klllen now weighs 1876 pounds but will
fight at 1877 pounds, and his daily eXer-
else consists in punching the ball,
swinging the clubs and using the dumb
bells, concluding with journey on the
road say for ten or twelve miles in the
interest of his wind.

put in Killen," between swallows of
wine jelly shall attend to Mr.. Conley.

FOOT BALL.
A Friendly Game Between Clubs
of ST. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS.

A friendly game of foot ball was
played between the Tam O'Shanter
club, of Minneapolis, and the st. Paul
club last evening On the grounds of the
Thistle at South Minneapolis. The
Tam O'Shanters won the toss and st.
Paul set the ball rolling at 7:3O d. m.
During the early part of the game much
give and take play was INDUCED in.
Anderson, for the Minneapolis club,
making some very close attempts at the
st. Paul goal, as also did Pollock and
Douglas at intervals place the Minneap-
oils goal in. jeopardy. About ten min
uteS from the start st. Paul scored their
first goal and little later put another
through, but this was diSallowed by the
referee on plea of off side. No further
scoring took place in the first half of
the game, and at Sp. m. the teams
changed ends, the games standing l to 0
in favor of st. Paul. Their success
seemed to put new life into the St. Paul
boys and from the resumption of the
play until the end of the game they out
played their opponents at every point,
adding three more goals to their score.
For the ST. Paul team, Douglas,
Pollock, II. Bruce and Shirley showed
well. although the entire team played
a good game all through. Anderson.
Patton and Mitchell did well for the
Tam O'Shanters, the latter at goal
saving his team from a more disastrous
defeat. The result of the game was
to in favor of st. Paul. The
following was the st. Paul team:
w. Pollock. L. A. Shirley, &. Douglas,
c. Murphy, James B. Darling, forwards;
S. Titus, II. Bruce, l.. Wallbridge,
half-backs; A. McCulloch, w. Pringle,
