After Many Years.

In the year 1400. or Whereabouts, work
men were employed to put choir stalls in
Lincoln cathedral, England, and were
told in the early English vernacular of
the day to hurry the job up, as several
big functions were soon to come off. But
lots of things happened money got to be
exceedingly scarce, and the men weren't
paid very promptly. Although there
were no Knights of Labor then, human
nature was pretty much the same as it is
now. and the men knocked off, remark
ing, mo pay, no work"
The clergy were so busy running the
county political machine that they didn't
have time to arrange the matter, and
the finishing of the stalls was postponed
from time to time until the present day.
At last, however, dean and chapter
think they see their way to complete this
Fifteenth century job, and are calling
for estimates from woodcarvers. Eng
land is little slow, but she does get
there after a few centuries. New York

Elliott. soldier of the olden time. In

per and his famous Don't let us fight
without a flag" In the battle of Fort

to Capt. Elliott:
The flagstaff being shot down. and
the staff falling to the ground in the
heat of battle, Jasper called to his
colonel. Moultrie:
" Colonel, don't let us fight without
our colors.
How can you help it? replied the
colonel; the staff is gone
" Then will replace it, said John,

took the flag and tied it to sponge staff,
and stuck it upon the merlon of the bas-
ton near the enemy, gave three huzzas

French feeling against Germany runs
very high ut the present moment. A
member of the German embassy in

nation of Europe. No section of Partisan
society asks them out except to purely
official entertainments; they belong to
no clubs, and would certainly be black

Fishing In the AIIeghenies.

Good trout fishing need not be ex-
pected this summer in the Blue Ridge
and Allegheny mountains, for the recent
heavy rains have played sad havoc with
the finny tribe. The rainfall in the
south has been without precedent, and
the mountain streams have filled the
rivers and either scattered the trout or
killed them by their being left on the
lowlands and swamps by the receding
waters. The same fate has befallen that
game fish the black bass. Every river
south of Baltimore and Washington has
been Overlooking its banks continuously
for the past two months Long contin-
ued spring freshets are disastrous to the
fish. On the other hand, all kinds of
game in the south have wintered nicely

ALUM AND AMMONIA
In Our Bread-ShaII We Drive SLOW
Poison From our Breakfast able?

IN pur bread-ShaH We Drive Slow
Poison From our Breakfast liable?
Anuisance that troubled England fifty
years ago is now rapidly spreading in
this country, that is, putting alum in
the bread we eat. This question is
causing a great deal of discussion at the
/ present moment, as it is revealed that
alum ls being used as a su bstitute for
cream oil tartar in baking powders. A
story is told that very large percentage
OF the baking powders sold on the mar
ket contain either alum or ammonia, and
many of them contain both these per-
nicious drugs. Much timely alarm is
felt at the wholesale use OF alum in
bread, biscuit and pastry. To young
children, growing girls. persons of
weakly frame, alum bread eaten MORN
ing, noon and evening is the most harm
full. 1t is the small quantities taken at
every meal that do the mischief. Alum
is cheap, costing but or 3 cents pound,
while cream of tartar costs 80 cents, and
the high price of cream of tartar has led
cheap baking powder to be made of
alum. If the reader wants to know
something of the corrosive qualities OF
alum, let him touch a piece to his
tongue; then reflect how it acts on the
tender, delicate coats of the stomach.
The Scientific american published in a
recent number a list of alum and am.
monia baking powders, which is Of great
value at this time. Following is con-
densed list compiled from official re-
ports. Powders marked with a star
seem to have general sale, as they are
mentioned in at least two of the official
reports:

'Ratsi''

Lew Hayes, of Morgantown, w. Va,
relates that few days ago, while pass
ing along the road near Collins ferry,
he noticed two large Norway rats going
down a hill toward stream, each rat
holding an end of a straw. When they
reached the waters edge the foremost
rat waded in, still leading it's companion,
which, when it reached the water, stop
ped and drank eagerly. When the thirsty
animal had finished drinking the other
turned, and with the straw still in its
mouth led the way to the top of the
bank. When they reached the road
Hayes killed the led rat, and found that
it was totally blind. its eyes being CON-
pletely gone. Philadelphia Ledger.

The majority of well-read phys

lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do

body in our food, in the air we

New Weather Signals.

Professor Harrington, chief of the
weather bureau, Washington, will soon
MAKE arrangements to have weather
signal flags displayed on the railroad
cars SO that people living in the coun-
try can tell what the weather will be
as we'll as those in the villages and
cities The starting points OF the trains
on all the railroads will be supplied
every morning with the forecast and
one man on each train will be assigned
to the duty of displaying the flags
The professor has also invented
plan to have locomotives and factories
whistle the forecasts for the informa-
ton of farmers who live too far to see
the flags.
Notification will be given in every
town and village where there is a steam
whistle that at a certain hour every
day the whistle will sound the signal to
indicate the probable weather for the
ensuing twenty-four hours
Factories will receive the forecast by
telegraph, and locomotive engineers
will receive it at their starting point.
The warming signal to attract atten-
ton will be what is called the long
blast, lasting twenty seconds. After
this, the signal, has been sounded,
blasts of from four to six seconds dur
alton will refer to the weather; short
blasts of three seconds each will refer
to the temperature, those Of the wealth
er to be sounded first, as follows: One
long blast indicates fair weather; two
long, rain OF snow; three long, local
rains One short blast indicates lower
temperature; two short, higher tenn
perature; three short cold wave.
