Appetite of . yorac,ou, ,,a,..

In q water troughin front of Sullivan's
hotel on Chelton avenue, Germantown,
there is a black bass that has attracted
the attention of hundreds of people he
cause of his peculiarities and the degree
of intelligence exhibited on many occa-
sions. The fish is the only inmate of the
trough and has occupied it for two years
to the exclusion of 200 others which had
been put in it for propagation purposes,
but the bass killed them one by n IN
til the entire number had fallen victims
to his voracity. He not only killed the
fish, but ate them.
He swallows flies by the dozen, which
the boys of the neighborhood gather for
him, and the more they give him the
better he appreciates them. He is fed
almost daily on cheese, Holsters and
choice beefsteak, and after he receives
his morning compliment of the latter he
rises to the surface and splashes the
water furiously with his tail. This is
presumed to be his method of returning
thanks.
He also eats mice, and several times
John Leithead, of Engine 10, has pro-
vided him with this quality of bait, only
to be swallowed without any ceremony.
He likewise eats birds, and hardly a day
passes that he does not dispose of at least
two sparrows and two chippies. The
fact that the feathers are upon the bodies
of the birds makes little difference to
him, and it is only when the legs have
not been removed that he refuses to
touch them. Otherwise he gulps them
down with great rapidity.
Although he measures eighteen inches
in length and weighs about five pounds
he causes no trouble to horses at the
trough, and never has been known to
modest n of them, excepting Joe Lad
ley's gray mare, and several times he has
risen out of the water and snapped at

In the growiasrlin as the SUN goes down,
And tho sky Is as rich us IL cleaners shcavcs
In flowers of crimson and purple nnd brown.
! will wait i'll the rare and wondrous caves
And watch, as tho loom of the sunset weaves
Its fabric of gold over country and town.
And l think of tho springs that have come and

Since We saw tho shuttle across the blue
That wrought in colors of dusk and dawn,
When the musk of tho sleeping roses flew
On the breath of the south wind over the lawn,
And the evening shadows were longer drawn,
And the sun was low, and the stars were few.
And youth was fair in the lives we led,
Its memories linger in this latter Spring,
And live in the flowers, the books we read,
The kiss she gave me in the grapevine swing,
In words and works, to be filled and fed
On tho wasted honey and wasted bread,
And sung in the songs she used to sing.
Though the lily and rose nave lost their leaves
In the ashes of Summers Of long ago,
They come, through tho rare and wondrous

In tho crop of love we used to SOW,
AS rich as the garlands the sunset weaves
When the tired plowman his labor leaves
In the fragrant corn, and the sun is low.

A Common Sense opinion.

The newspaper without any advertise
ments, which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
wants to see, might suit the tastes of
some people, but it would be without a
very interesting feature. The idea that
the advertisements in a newspaper only
please the counting room unfortunately
obtains in some quarters, but to tho
great mass of the people they are not
only interesting but useful and in
structive reading. They are the shop
pers' constant companion, the business
mans guide and everybody's instructor.
A newspaper without advertising col
umns would fail to accomplish its mis-
sion. Besides, it would be about as poor
as Jobs turkey.-Boston Herald.

E D LEGISLATION.
Baking Powder Bill Passed by the Min.
nesOta Senator.

The recent newspaper discussion of
the dangerous qualities of ammonia
comes from the alarming increase of
its use in baking powders. People
who absorb it in small quantities
from day to day suffer from slow am.
monia poisoning. Taken Internally
in sufficient quantities it eats away
the coatings of the stomach and in
testines and causes death. Slow am.
monia poisoning produces various
forms of stomach trouble.
Not n woman in ten thousand
would use an ammonia baking pow.
der if she knew it. Such powders not
only undermine the health, but Am
monia imparts a sallow and blotched
complexion.
Following is the bill recently pass.
ed by the Minnesota senate. It's the
danger signal which the law throws
out for the protection of the people.

Why DR.. Prices Baking Powder is
Superior to all others.

No great efforts are made by other manufacturers
to procure and use pure materials.
It is true that one other company has the facilities,
but its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use
ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence the Price
Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for pure
baking powder.
No other article of human food receives greater care
in its production, or has attained higher perfection. DIR.
Prices Cream is surely a perfect baking powder. Free from
every faint of impurity. No other article used in the
kitchen has so many steadfast friends among the house.

Russomania in France

The Russian rastaquoueres, pseudo
mobiles, pseudo-diplomats, and officers
open to suspicion meet with a childishly
enthusiastic reception at the hands Of
Jacques Bonhomme, and find associates
among many honest people, mingled
with adventures. Thus they succeeded
in founding Franco-R Russian theaters,
Franco-Russian newspapers, all of them
equivocal enterprises Of which the
simpletons become the inevitable VIC
Tins. The public of republican Paris
applauds pieces in honor of the Gar,
manifest enthusiasm on behalf of Holy
Russia, and gives way to a sort of pious
imbecility as regards everything that is
closely or remotely connected with the
alliance.
Thus the French nation, in its own
estimation the wittiest in the world, has
condescended to delight in idiotic Trades
or babyish anecdotes like the following.
During the exhibition of 1880, when 1t
became almost impossible to get a cab, a
gentleman stopped the jehu of one of

In the third commissioner district
the election of a commissioner on
November 6 has created but little ill.,
terest up to this time, at least but lit
tie that has come to light, and the
probabilities are that the people of
this wheat growing section of Stark
county have been too busy to give a
question of this kind any thought; and
yet it is a matter of Importance
and particularly to Taxpayers. A
man is wanted who has good execu-
tive ability, not penny wise and pound
foolish, but who is built on the broad
gauge plan and can take in the situa-
ton of affairs and act thereon in a
h%usbandable manner with respect to
the future as well as the present.
Mr.. Underhill comes as near filling
the bill as any man could, we believe,
and his reelection would not have
been hard to have secured if he had
so desired, but we understand he is
of the opinion that the west end of
the district should have the office if
they want it,, There have been faint
rumors of various ones who were like
ly to come out as candidates for the
Office, but the first man to come out
squarely before the public as a candi-
date is ]. N. Tracey, and we do not
see why he is not a good man for the
office. MI. Tracey is a careful finan-
cier, economical, a man of good gener.
al information, and the largest farm.

the taxation of Stark to a heavy ex-
tent, which adds greatly to the desir-
ability of his election.

THE FIGHT FOR PURE BLOOD.
Success Of the. Efforts 10 Scotch Bad
Baking Powder.

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company upon
the hosts of adulterated and impure
baking powder sold throughout the
country is having a desirable effect.
The scandalous attacks upon the Roy.
al company by the manufacturers of
the impure goods (Which are made
doubtless both from Il spirit of re-
venge and in the hope of breaking
the effect of the damaging exposures)
show that they are hit, while the
official reports which have come from
various public authorities fully zorro.
borating the statements made by the
Royal company, have awakened u
wholesome public sentiment in favor
of %repressive laws, which e mis-.
chief to the illegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder Com
pany set out some time ago to expose
the character and to break up the
sale of adulterated baking powder.
Having found from an examination
of many specimens that there was
a large number of actual injurious
powders in the market, they brought
the matter before the public and de.
nounced the makers by name in the
press and to be health authorities.
The affair affair was taken up by
physicians, Board of Health, and
Legislatures throughout the country,
chemists were employed to test the
various powders in the market, and
the government itself directed anay.
ses to be made before it would pur.
chase the supplies needed for army,
navy, and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges
made by the Royal company. Not
only were the majority of baking
powders in the market found to be
largely adulterated, but many of
them were ascer!ained to contain
alum and other poisonous ingredients
to such an extent as to render them
positively unsafe for use in human
food.
In making the charges the Royal
Baking Powder Company did not
hesitate to enter into competitor with
every other baking powder in the
country, and it is IL public satisfac.
ton that in the official tests by the
government and State chemists and
by Boards of Health, the Royal Bak-
ing Powder has been declared to be
the superior of all others in strength,
purity and wholesomeness, and abso.
lutely free from all inferior or detri.
mental substances.
From recent official reports it is
evident that the alum and otherwise
impure goods have again come upon
the market is dangerous quantities
and their old enemy, the Royal, is
again upon the warpath. 1t continu.
Ing its warfare against these goods
Royal is meeting with the old time
opposition and abuse. The public,
however, will appreciate, us hereto.
fore, both the abuse and the action of
the Royal company, and award full
justice to the company that co fear
lessly stands up for its protection
from such Adventures.
