Rescue of the Castnways.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Aug. 25.-The
party of castaways from the steam yacht
Cruiser, on Pictured Rocks, were res.
cued yesterday. Mr.. and Mrs. g. F..
Brainerd and w. 81. Brainerd of Pitts.
burg. Mr.. and Mrs. J. Q. Sheets, John
R. Davey and K. McDougall of Cincin-
natl, were the shipwrecked persons.
They had been camping near Grand
Island and took the yacht Thursday to
visit the famous Rocks. A storm COM
ing up. they fortunately got ashore at
Chapel Beach and the party took refuge
in the cave. They only bad the picnic
provisions they took with them and
they suffered for want OF food. One of
the men succeeded Saturday in getting
to the nearest settlement, thirty miles
distant, but the guides he sent back
with provisions never reached the party
The tug Fishing Queen, Of Munissing,
steamed down Sunday to Chapel Beach,
but was unable for many hours to take
the party aboard on account of the
heavy sea. However. abundant provi.
sion was allowed to be taken ashore
from the tug to the hungry castaways.
Yesterday, however, the lake was quiet
enough to take the party off, and the
Fishing Queen brought them back to
civilization. Mrs. Sheets is in critical
condition, but the rest of the party suf-
fered little inconvenience from their
three days fast.

A Sunday on Monday.

The creation OF the earth in globu-
lar form has caused many problems
which would never have arisen had
the Rev. Mr.. Jasper's plan been
followed One Of the oldest OF these,
the st. Louis Republic shows, is that
which has thrown the people one day
ahead-an error they refuse to correct.
Manila IS one of themost import
ant ports in the Philippine Islands,
but strange to say, is one day behind
all other places of it's size in the world.
This curious fact is accounted for in
this way: Although the Philippine
Islands lie near the Asiatic coast they
were discovered by spaniards who
sailed from America.
When they crossed the magic line
where Sunday suddenly changes into
Monday, these fiery dons Of proud
5Castilian ancestors did not revise
their calendar. When told Of this
years later, when told that their
3modeof reckoning time was not up
to modern notions, they only said
that was 80 much the worse for mod
.ern notions.
Anyhow, the fact remains that these
Philippine Islanders keep plod ding al
ong one day behind all the rest Of the
woSld, which reckons time by new style.

The Influenza,

The epidemic influenza, or "I4a
Grippe" as it is called in Europe,
seems to be a sort of century plant.
1t blooms once in a hundred years;
at least it has assumed q general ep:
idemic form and spread over the
world at periods of about a century
apart.
Medical authorities agree that of
itself it is not especially dangerous,
and il not likely to result fatally, but
is liable, if the system be run down
at the time OF the attack, to induce
complications that may result in
death. To person with any chron-
ic disorder an attack of LA Grippe"
is attended with danger.
The microbe theory of the general
Infection seems to be the one most
generally adopted by the medical
profession. Whether it be correct or
not one fact seems to have been thor
oughly established in the progress OF
the epidemic through the communi.
ty-it attacks with greatest viru-
lence persons whose systems have
been weakened, or "run down" from
any cause.
Many of the fatal cases have result
ed because of complications with
kidney disorders. Another poison
finds egress into the system, and the
kidneys, already weakened and I'M
able to perform, and failing, death
follows as matter ofcourse.
ola Grippe" does not take hold OF
a person whose system is in good
condition, or if at all, the attack is
very light one, easily thrown off.
If, during the prevalence of the cpl
demic, people would keep their liver
and kidneys in perfect working Or

these purifying organs OF the system
competent to fully perform their
great office, they needhaye little fear

Superintendent Callahan says that all
things come to him who waits. He has
at last received notification from State
Superintendent John Ogden, dated
Aug. ~, that Cass County is entitled to
1915, 750.90 from the state fund, being at
the rate of $3.50 per head for 4, 773
children. Under the law it will be
twenty days yet before he can legally
apportion it. The state department.
claims that the delay in making the ap-
portionment has been caused by some
county superintendent not having
made their returns on April 1, as re-
CURED law. However, in this connec-
ton it should also be remembered that
the returns are required by law to
be made on blanks as furnished by the
state department of education, and
these blanks were not usent out until
May Is.

Henry Cabot Lodges George
Washington" and Prof. J ohm Fiske's
sCritical Berfod OF American History,
17S3-l7S9"-andl launches Forthwith
into scathing review thereof, begin
ming in the following celebrating
fashion:
"sThese books are q part-a small
and not the worst part-oft hestupend-
GUS mass of writing produced, and in
course of production, about the brief,
and not particularly interesting, his
tory of the United States OF America.
Mr.. Lodge may, perhaps, take this
description as one more example of
what he calls in his "Life of Washing
ton" the stupid arrogance of the
Englishmen. But we really cannot
help it that American history is dull,
consisting for the most part of easy
victories won by rather common
place men, and followed by intensely
commonplace prosperity. Mr.. Lodge
is very angry with the Englishmen
of those days, who said, rudely
enough. that the Yankees were cow
ards. But, after all, what had the
colonists done in the struggle with
France to make Englishmen respect
their fghtingpower? Little, indeed.
The brillianU things, such as the ex-
petition to Quebec, were the work
OF English generals and troops aided
by the colonists. We find the
same disparity between the claims
made for Washington and the evil
dence produced all through Mr..
Lodges book. He is continually
talking of his hero's faculty as a
general and superiority to the stupid
English, and yet when it came to
actual fighting, Lord Howe-no
genius, certainly-beat him through
and through. If the English, then,
were so stupid, what was Washing
ton? We do not say he was stupid,
being rich enough not to grudge an
enemy his praise, and knowing that
after all he'won What we do sayis,
that he was good man enough to win
against very Indifferent generals com
manding very insufficient armies.
This is creditable as far as it goes;
but it hardly classes man with MARI
borough or Gustavus Adolphus. At
Yorktown Washington had the help
OF French allies, Of an overwhelming
superiority of numbers, and of a
long course of luck Of course, an
absolute fool might have thrown
these chances away. Washington
did not, and therefore was not an
absolute fool; but is it SO very great
to win the trick when you hold all
the trumps, and your opponent is a
very average player"

Beginning of a Great Industry

Beginning of a Great Industry
An old woman, feeding her hens
with prudent care, is said to have
made the beginnings of a great men,
haden industry in Maine. Her name
was Bartlett, and about half a
century ago, down in Blue Hill
bay, she was one day boiling
some msnhaden for her hens, when
she found quantity of oil rising
to the top of the water in the pot.
She skimmedit off, bottled it up, and,
with unusual enterprise, got aboard
the old sloop that piled between Bos.
ton and the east coast, and took the
strange oil among the dealers OF the
Hub" A man named E. n. Phillips
examined it, and offered to buy all
she could bring him. She went home
happy, and all summer the old gentle.
man Bartlett fished and the old lady
fried out the oil. In the autumn
they had enough oil to bring them
in several hundred dollars. This
was the beginning of an industry
that yields some years fifty thousand
barrels of oil, and is second only to
the whale fishery Boston Letter.

makes their final test at Ell Paso and
if it's not then further demonstrated as
an absolute fact. We propose as indi-
viduals, backed by our own counties
and many very strong financial inter
ests, to make similar and conclusive
test. We realize that it is necessary to
remove every doubt before the govern
ment can be expected to lend any fur

The life of the farmers wife
is a dreary one as a rule, and
even in North Dakota, with the
agricultural wealth existing
here, which makes it the farm
er's paradise, the following pen
picture, drawn by John H.
Bookwalter, in The September
Forum, is too true:
Every day of her life she goes through
the dreary, monotonous round. At an
early hour every morning through the
hot summer, she prepares the same
black coffee and fried pork (perhaps hot
biscuits), and before she eau clear away
the breakfast things and make the bed
she hears the calves bleating, the milk
COW stamping. both impatient to have
the mornings business done with.
Then comes the dreary routine of the
forenoon's work, the baking of bread.
the washing, and the lie until the
meridian sun warns her that the ever
lasting midday meal is due and must be
ready ut once. To round up the duties
and responsibilities of the day her Ia.
bors are carried far into the night, and
often, very often, they continue long
after those Of the male portion of the
family have ended. She has long since
ceased to think about her personal APP
pearance. A tender kiss from her hus
band would almost surprise her. Once
she grieved that her little girls were SO
barely clad; now she scarcely thinks of
it. That she should have spare hour
every day to read never enters her head,
and the bare suggestion that on every
Sunday she should 'dress up" and de-
vote herself. during the rest Of the day,
to social intercourse would cause stare
of incredulity. For be it understood
that Sunday for the farmers wife is q
sort of clearance day to adjust the odds
and ends of the previous week 8 cares
and labors, to be in readiness for the re-
newed labors OF the coming week.

AMMONIA OR ALUM
Baking Powders.
HOW 10 DETECT THEM.

Ammonia and alum are the most
common adulterants used in the manu-
FIXTURE Of baking powders. The Cow
eminent report shows that a large
percentage of the baking powders on
the market contain either one or the
other or both these pernicious drugs.
Ammonia particularly is in very gem
eral use.
This Wholesale use in an article of
daily food, of one of the most injur-
ious poisons is simply criminal. Slow
ammonia poisoning produces diseases
of the stomach and is particularly in;
furious to the complexion. The pres
ence of ammonia in q baking powder,
however can easily be detected.
TO DETECT AMMONIA.
Mix one heaping teaspoonful OF
baking powder with one teaspoonful
of water in a tin cup; boil thoroughly
for q few moments stir to prevent
burning and if ammonia is present
you can smell it in the rising steam,
or place O. can OF the suspected pow.
der top down on a hot stove for a
minute or two then take off the
cover and SMELL
TO DETECT ALUM.
Alum powder can be tested by put
ting q couple of teaspoonfuls of the
powder in a glass OF cold water. If nc
efferevescence that is bubbling or sim
mering, takes place, condemn the
goods and return them at once.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
is reported by all authorities as free
from alum, ammonia, or any othe,
adulterant.
