Alfred Muegge, who forged check for
several thousand marks in Germany, and
then sailed for this country. and was ar
rested on his arrival here, sailed yester-
day as prisoner on board the Augusta
Victoria for Germany. The prisoner was
desperate and was taken aboard in irons,
having declared that he would die rather
than return.
Muegge was a student at one of the
German universities, and while there
contracted some gambling debts. His
creditors demanded their money, and to
pay them he forged the name of q
wealthy relative to check for large
amount. He became alarmed and fled
with the money to this country. The
authorities here were notified, and he was
arrested as he landed.

The Horse Swan Eight Miles.

A horse belonging to a ferryman was On
the boat at Irvine and was in the act Of
drinking when he plunged forward from
some cause and fell into the water up TO his
nose With remarkable instinct he TUNED
round and swan TO the boet. and made sew
eral efforts TO wi back into it, but it only
served 10 push il further away. By this
time he had drlfted below the ferry, and ne
then made efforts to get out upon either
bank In this he also failed, as the banks
were too steep.
He then turned aside and swan down the
middle OF the river. The ferryman, Mr..
White, made vain efforts to rescue his horse,
and, watching him until he was out OF sight,
gave UP all hopes OF ever seeing him again.
Next morning the passengers GA the Irvine
stage were amused at the manner IN which
the ferryuan was fondly csressing q horse
which had Just arrived, and later learned
that the steamboat from Ford had picked up
the swimming animal eight miles below.
When dragged upon the boat he sank down,
too completely exhausted TO stand When
this became known the sympathizing passen-
gers joined with Mr.. White in his exuber-
ance over L recovery of his noble steed--

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.

Bread biscuit and cake, generally made by the
aid Of baking powder enter largely into daily food
that their debasement by the Introduction OF any inu
rous or deteriorating substance is matter OF serious
concern to the public health What baking powder shall
we use to avoid the lime and alum now found In so many
eavenne agents. and to pure sweet and wholesome
bread is question: therefore, of direct importance to
every individual
The "Royal" has been determined by the Govern
ment chemists and the most prominent food analysts to be
the only baking powder made that is entirely free from
lime alum and other impurities and absolutely pure. 1t
is made from cream of tartar refined for it's exclusive use
bv patent by which the trate Of lime is totally
eliminated No other baking powder manufacturer uses
chemically pure cream of tartar and hence the aduteraton
of other brands The Roya' is, accordingly, the only
baking powder that will produce perfectly pure bread,
biscuit cake pastry etc. and these articles are now pro-
nounced more wholesome when raised by the Royal Baking
Powder than when leavened by any other agent
It is particularly question of health therefore, what
baking powder we shall use and those who appreciate the
mseries of dyspepsia and other ailments that follow the
use of impure food viii not hesitate to select the Roya

Low Death Rate in London.

It is quite remarkable how low the death
rate for London has been for April, May and
June Of this year. We find it was only 10 per
1000 persons, 33 lower than the average for
the past ten years OF the corresponding
months.
Considering that London is the largest city
in the world and contains between four and
five million persons. the inhabitants may con-
graduate themselves on the great gain
brought about by sanitary science and per-
sonal hygiene. Two hundred years ago the
death rate in London was over so per thou
sand annually.
Although London is a much larger city
and has more unfavorable climate and sur
roundings than New York, and there is more
poverty there, yet it is healthier city, for
here the death rate is about 20 per 900 annu-
ally, but here sanitary science has only be-
gun to do its work-Herald of Health.

Fifty Thousand Tons of Ice.

A suggestion of the liberality Of American
railway companies for the comfort of pasSen-
gers may be found in the statement that for
a single station-that of Broad street, Phila-
delphia, on the Pennsylvania railroad-"Fifty
tons of ice are required daily to supply
cold water for travellers in the midsummer
days During every twenty-four hours 2lo
trains are moved out OF the depot, and IN
each car there is water cooler 70 be filled "
To cover the ice bill for the other principal
stations on this and the rest of the great rail-
road lines of the country the above figures
must be multiplied by probably one thousand
at least.-Sanitary Era
