"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

BILLS Introduced In the Senate by SEN
ators Stewart and Collum.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Stew
art to-day introduced bill supplemental
20 the Chinese Exclusion Act. 1t makes
1t unlawful after the passage Of the Act
for Chinese laborer to enter or remain
in the United States for any purpose
whatever. The Act, it is provided, shall
preclude the entry into the United States
not only of Chinese laborers who have
never been here, but OF all who have been
here and Departed: also all Chinese per-
sons who may desire to pass through or
over the United States for any purpose
whatever.
Senator Cullom also introduced bill
on the same subject 1t provides that for
ten years after the passage of the Act the
coming of Chinese laborers To the United
States shall be suspended. During such
time it shall be unlawful for any Chinese
laborer to come, or having so come, to re-
main within the United States. Every
Chinese person other than Z laborer who
may be entitled by the treaty of 1880 or
This Act to come within the United States
shall obtain permission Of and be identi-
lied as so entitled by the Chinese Gov
ernment or other foreign Government of
which at the time such Chinese shall be
subject. This certificate shall be revised
by the United States diplomatic or con-
Sular representative. The provisions Of
the Act apply to all Chinese except diplo-
matte or consular officers and their at
tendants. Chinese found unlawfully
within the jurisdiction Of the United
States shall be removed to China. The
Chinese now in this country must obtain
a certificate within ninety days.

Ammonia IN Baking Powders.
TFrom the Scientific Americana

L rom INC fccleHLllIC AnlSTlCIIl
Among the discoveries in science and
chemistry, mono is more important than
the uses to which common ammonia can
be properly put as leavening agent. and
which indicate that this familiar salt is
hereafter to perform an active part in the
preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon q knife and hold
over a flame, and it will almost immedi-
ately be entirely developed into gas and
pass of into the air. The gas thus formed
is simple composition of nitrogen and
hydrogen, slightly aromatic, inot1ensive,
and perfectly wholesome. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives it its
superiority as a leayening power over
soda and cream of tartar used alone, and
has induced its use as supplement to
these articles. A small quantity Of am
monia in the dough is effective in produc-
ing bread that viii be lighter, sweeter
and more wholesome than that risen by
any other leavening agent. When it is
acted upon by the heat of baking the
leavening gas that raises the dough is lib
Grated. In this act it uses itself up, as ii
were; the ammonia is entirely diftused,
leaving no trace or residuum whatever
The light, fluffy, fiaky appearance, so de-
Sirabie in biscuits, ETC., and so sought
after by professional cooks, is said to be
impaired to them only by the use of this
agent.
arhe bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods have
availed themselves OF this useful agent.
and the handsomest and best bread and
cake are now largely risen by the aid of
carbonate of ammonia, combined, OF
course, with other leayening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. As the ap-
plication OF its properties to the purposes
of cooking results in giving us lighter
and more wholesome bread, biscuit and
cake, its general use viii prove boon to
dyspeptic humanity.

\ Horses Memory.

Ability to Write.

There are to-day more chances than
ever for special literary work. There
are more papers and periodicals than ever
devoted TO special trades, occupations,
arts and pursuits. The store, the farm,
the garden, the mine, the worker in
wood or metal or cloth, the electrician,
the sailor, the railroad, and hundred
other interests are all now represented by
publications. All these make places for
editors. There are people who have great
talent for putting words and sentences
together, yet who know relatively little
There are others who know great deal,
but can neither put their knowledge on
paper or talk it out to others. Can there
not be an exchange of talent managed
somehow between these two classes? II
any man or woman has really anything
to tell. they can learn to tell it properly
on paper If they keep on learning, as
they become fuller and fuller OF knowl
edge they must talk it. There is great
deal of nonsense lying around loose to
the effect that the writing talent is an
especial gift Of the pen" and that it is
impossible for those who cannot write
with ease to do so. This is not to be be-
lieved. No man or woman knows what
power is latent in them until they set to
work to dig it out.-Inland Printer.

at a dinner party, at a reception, at any
of those places and times when tete-a-
tetes are either impossible or in bad taste,
must be able to talk to more than one per-

know something about great many sub
iects, and yet not have the air of instruct
ing his hearers. Nothing is much more
irritating than the ex-cathedra style,
when the speaker seems to mount ros-
trum and hold mp his hand for silence be-
fore each utterance. A rock upon which

not too learnedly and not too satirically,
but they talk upon subjects which have

The Great Palo Alto Mare Arrives
safely in New York.
New YORK, Dec. 10.-Sunol, the ia
NOUS queen of the turf, arrived in this
city this morning, and was immediately
taken to Robert Bonner's stable. The
mare seemed to have suffered very slight
fatigue in her long ride across the conti-
nent.
Bonner was probably the happiest man
in this city this morning. He said:
''Sunol had been lame before [ bought
her, but l did not know it until / had
paid for her. The lameness was caused
by slight defect in the near hind foot.
1 telegraphed Marvin, telling him what
kind Of shoe to use, and instead Of using
q number of decoctionS, as California
ramor says, he followed my instructions
To the letter. He was not indignant at
my suggestions. but on the contrary sent
me a letter in which he said: II | had
known as much about the balancing OF
the feet OF horses twenty years ago as you
have taught me, | would have lowered
the worlds record several times before
this" Bonner added: Il can't imagine
how the story about Sunol's lameness
could have been started. never regarded
her la1neneSs any more serious than mud
splashed on my shirt bosom, which
could be easily removed. 1t was no
doubt started by some of the many train
erS and owners to whom l have refused
to impart my knowledge, gained by
thirty years hard study and practical ex-
Derlence."
The greeting between Bonner and
Marvin did not betray the existence of
any feeling other than the kindliest. Bon
ner called Maryin's attention to the
printed accounts of SunoFs lameness.

The Country Drifting Into Dependency
on Foreign Underwriting.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Commissioner
Of Navigation Bates, in his annual re-
port, dwells on marine insurance and
says: I'VE are fast drifting into depen-
dency on foreign underwriting. The
manifest decadence of underwriting
power is of national concern. 1t is as
necessary to have marine underwriting
of our own as commerce of our own or
shipping Of our own. Marine insurance
is facility and power for the command
of trade needful in peace, but essential in
war. The underwriting of our enemy is
not to be thought OF. That of rival
never should be depended on.V
The Commissioner recommends the
abrogation of the treaty with Great Brit
ain which prevents the building OF armed
vessels on the lakes and the repeal of the
Act of 1852, authorizing the nationaliza-
tion of foreign vessels.

Bought by the Parrot.

The Parrot company has added to it's al
ready large possessions another rich ore
producer, the Little Nina claim. which lies
just northeast of the Belle of Butte and
southeast of the Buffalo, says the Miner.
The property was owned by John Stewart,
Emanuel H~auswirth, Simon Hauswirth and
Ed Hickey. who, about eight months ago,
bonded it to the Parrot company. The
price received by these gentlemen was
$1O3. SOC. The Parrot company also had a
bond on the Nipper, which adjoins the
Little Nina on the southeast, but this bond
was allowed to go by the board. The Little
Nina is a valuable piece of ground and is
sufficiently developed to demonstrate that
1t is worth every dollar for which it was
sold. 1t has been yielding good ore in
large quantities for some time past. and
will be a valuable acquisition to the Par
rot's possessions. The deed to the ground
was made out and signed last evening.
