parents forbade her to marry, they favor
ing another suitor, who was James Bu-
chanan, who was afterwards president of

the man of her choice she concluded to
live single life, and it was not until she
had nearly reached her second child
that she was inveigled into
marriage She settled in this section
about thirty-f1ye years ago. The state

Mr.. Buchanan was not made for notori-

New YORK, Jan. "a committee of

discover why tickets of membership,
which We're worth "a, 500 three years ago,
are worth 81, 700 now. AT the commit
tees request Mr.. G. w. Arnold has been
Investigating the subject. He suggests
the retirement Of 500 members. This
would cost about $3.50, 1000, but it would
increase the value of the remaining $500
memberships $500 each, or $3.50, 900.
Their value increases as the number
among whom the business is to be di-
vided decreases. The decrease of busi-
ness on the stock exchange and the pro-
duce exchange indicates that the race of
lambs is rapidly becoming extinct.

A QUESTION or REALra,
wha, baking rowdsr shall We Use

What Haking POWDER Shall We Use?
This plain question comes homo to every
housekeeper. We all desire pure and
wholesome food, aud this cannot be had
with the uso OF impure or poisonous baki ing
powder. There can be no longer question
that all tho cheaper, lower grades OF baking
powders cOntsin either alum, lime or
phosphate scid. AZ loath as we may DO to
admit Sd much, against what may have been
some OF our household gods, there can be no
Rainsaying the unanimous testimony OF the
official chemists. Indeed, analysts seem to
hud no baking powder entirely free from
some one OF these Obj ectionable Ingredients
except tho Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some OF the
baking powders advertised as pure, to
contain, under tho tests of Professor Chand.
Ter, Hablrshaw and others, nearly twelve
per cent OF lime, while others are made
from alum with no cream OF tartar. This,
We persume, accounts for their lack OF
leavening power as sometimes com planned
OF by the cook, and for the bitter taste found
In the biscuits 30 frequently complained OF
by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority OF the work
done by these powders, the physicians
sure us that lime and alum taken into the
system in such quantities as this are
luxurious. Their physiological effects are
Indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these chesp baking powder makers use
these thipgsS Alum Is three cents pound,
me still cheaper, while cream oi tartar
costs thirty.fve or forty. The reason for
the chemical purity of the Royal Baking
Powder were recently given In the New
York Times In an interesting description
OF new method for refining argols, or
crude cream Of tartar. 1t seems that II Is
only under this process that cream of tartar
can b8 freed from the lime natural to II and
rendered chemically pure that the patents
and plant for this cost the Royal Baking
Powder Company about half q million
dollars, and that they maintain exclusive
control OF the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief chemist OF
the Department OF Agriculture, Washing
ton, ID. G., made an examination OF this
process, and reported upon the results
attained In the refined cream OF tartar. The
Following extract from his report would
seem TO answer the question repeated AT
tue head OF this article, and which Is so
frequently propouuded by the house

A FAIR of eminent physicians have had
an entertaining wraDgle over the question
whether hydrophobia exists a. a disease.
DIR. q. w. Dulles was deputIzed year ago
by the State Medical society to prepare q
report on hydrophobia, and on Thursday
he presented tho result of his studies In the
shape OF an attack upon Pasteur and his
methods and positive denial that hydro.
phobla Is a specific disease that can be In
noculatod. "No human being ever had
hydrophobia or rabies. The term should
be used to diagnose condition, not dis
ease. ] firmly believe that II my opinion
was generally believed this halluclnation
would entirely disappear" He told how
he had canned boy patient who could
hardly be controlled by five men by simply
placing hand on his breast and showing 4

chief causes NJ so.oalled rabbies, Ia anticipa.
tion Of dying Of the disease II Is death by
fright Another cause, no said, was the
use OF the test OF water, than which
no could imagine nothing moro cruel
Narcotics should never be used
All this gives tho impression that DR.
Dulles really knows something about by.
drophobia but among the physicians pre-
sent at the reading OF tho report was DR.. E.

was sent abroad by President Cleveland to

said that no bad reached a very different
conclusion from work In the laboratory.

proof was overwhelming aud there was no

The Evening NeWspaper,

The events Of the last few days have TO
more than ordinary degree demonstra-
ted the superior excellence of the evening
newspaper over that Of the morning.
During the three days of the Democratic
convention in st. Louis, the sessions were
10 held that the evening journals were
enabled to present the full news Of the
day, to be read at the supper tables
throughout the land.
And 30 1t is in seven cases out of ten
Of the really important news of the day.
When the world ceases to work, the lia-
bility Of accident diminishes proportion
ately, and the possibilities of crime under
the shadow Of the night increase. The
morning journal will therefore have the
advantage in the priority of publication
OF deeds of blood, but in those things that
mako up the history of the rare, it will
b found that the newspaper printed in
tho evening, when the days work is fin
ished, will have the freshest information
concerning those events which have an
intrinsic interest for the people. The
business man and the mechanic, with the
cares OF the day ended, have time to
peruse and enjoy the information and in
structiOn with which it is replste.

10 his name, wo think It is Banker
Barker, who is an editor likewise and
q politician'and man OF many affairs
and of more than one nation, being Of
America and China, and bidding fair
to be more than a half, IL not q heather
Chinee entirely.
The magniilcence of his Chinese plans
has been great. Their scope has en-
braced in China all the business that can
be done on earth. Their fragility, how-
ever, has been in proportion to their extent.
The millions in the enterprises have been
on paper. Very little cash appears.
While the talk was of millions the actual
contribution was of dollars. Ten thou
sard is the largest sum In hard money
that seems TO have been raised for
Chinese enterprises out OF Mr.. Bakers
pocket.
He counted Count Mitkiewicz out,
after he had introduced him to the Chi
nese. The count was to have three-twen.
tieths Of the Doodle, but does not get 1t,
and SO brings suit and exposes the whole
enterprise to public contemplation. There
may be interest in it, there is hardly
likely to be anything more in the Chi
nese operation of the counts. The
interest in Mr.. Barker's expended ten
thousand scattered upon the Chinese
waters may not return to him, but the
public and the Chinese may profit in
hearing all about the adventure.
