BAKING POWDER
In the New York legislature.

The following, taken from "The
Oil, Paint and drug Reporter" refers
to new bill just introduced in the
legislature of New York State:
"The latest development in tho
baking powder war, is the introduc-
ton OF bill in the Legislature OF this
State, requiring all packages OF baking
powder which contain ammonia, to
be branded with O. statement OF that
TACT in large type on the label.
Now while the ammonia contention
is on, why cannot the law give the
public the benefit OF the doubt? Who'll
ly unprecedented people are certainly
not willing to be dosed with the sub
stance acknowledged as apoison, SIM
ply because scientists, some OF whom
are not even PSYCHOLOGISTS, disagree
as to it's potency"
A similar bill was introduced last
April but it is shrewdly surmised that
the influence of interested parties pre-
vented it's passage. The provisions
OF the present bill are so just that
itproba bly, will soon become law.
This will be welcome news to the
manufacturers of pure Cream OF lar
ter baking powders, the most prom
inent of whom is the Price Baking
Powder Co. OF Chicago and St. Louis,
makers OF DR.. Prices Cream Bak-
ing Powder, who have always made
strictly pnre Cream of TARTAR powder,
notwithstanding the. temptations OF
adulteration suggested by the enor-
nous profits realized by IL large New
York concern which uses ammonia,
and advertise its powder as strictly
pure, by means OF garbled official re-
ports and certificates signed by its
own employees, dubbed professor, doc
tor or government chemist, as fancy
may dictate.
A bill compelling alum powders to
be conspicuously labelled as such, al
ready exists in Minnesota and it is to
be hoped in the interest OF the con-
sumner that similar laws will soon be
enacted in other states. for ammonia
as well as alum.
The following powders known to
contain either ammonia or alum or
both, will be affected by the proposed
legislation:
Royal, Pearl, Calumet, Chicago
Yeast, Forest City, One Spoon l,Tay-
lor's), Bon Bon, Kenton, Echo, Snow
Puff, Unrivaled, Yarnall's One Spoon,
Shephard's Economical, Crown, ely
max, Hercules, Monarch, New Era,

A STUDY IN PARTING.

People Are Now indifferent to What
Was Once Vital Political Ques-
ton,
"The question OF how man parts
his hair is Of little consequence now-a-
days." said q local politician few
nights ago he pulled his cigar on "the
Rialto."
II remember very we'll when it was
rare thing for man to part his
hair directly over the nose, but all Of
the contempt and fun which such q
proceeding evoked are now replaced
by Indifference as far as the public is
concerned.
'Twenty years ago a politician who
parted his hair in the middle courted
disaster at the polls. Now, no end of
statesmen, prominent and otherwise,
wear their hair in a dandifed fashion,
and it does not even call for a remark.
Il don't know exactly why it should
be so, unless it is that few men have
hair to part now. After all, it isn't
the hair that makes the man."

For that
Horrid
Stomach
Feeling.
Remarkable stone-Throwlng.


The old saying that 'Practice makes
perfect" must be taken with a grain of
allowance. Perfection is q rare COM
modify; but one meets here and there,
even in the most unexpected places,
men who have attained to the most
astonishing proficiency in some one
thing to which they have devoted
themselves. The Rural New Yorker re-
ports q striking instance OF this kind:
A man died recently in Pennsylva-
MIA who was mentally deficient, but a
giant physically, and who could throw
stones with an aim as unerring as that
of the most skillful handler OF the rifle.
He had q large leather pouch attached
to one side OF his coat, in which he al
ways carried good supply OF these
carefully selected missiles. With these
he bagged every year no small guam"
tity OF ganle-grouse, quail, rabbits
and squirrels.
He could kill bird on the wing or a
rabbit at full speed almost as easily
as at rest. A favorite method OF dis
playing his skill was to set up scythe-
blade, edge toward him, and at a. dis
lance OF one hundred feet cut apples
in halves by throwing them against
the edge OF the blade. He could al
most exactly halve two out OF every
three apples he threw.

An Injurious Habit at Funerals.

The offering of human sacrifices at
the burial of great men is custom
usually supposed to be confined to
savage races, yet if, says The British
Medical Journal we reflect on our
own injurious habits at funerals it is
doubtful if the line which divides us
from the barbarians is quite so broad
as we imagine. Thousands of men
who would not for any consideration
walk bare-headed a dozen yards from
their own door, stand with heads ex-
posed to the chilly atmosphere of a
cemetery whilst their friends and rela-
atives are consigned to.the grave. It
is hoped that, warned by lamentable
circumstances which have recently
emphasized this oft-aclSnowledged
danger, some steps may be taken to
shorten the service at the graveside,
and to introduce the practice OF wear
ing a silk or velvet skull cap for those
attending funerals in any but the most
genial weather.

THE ELEVATOR MANS PROBLEM

Why Do Men All Whistle in HIS
Conveyance.
Mike, be it known to you, is the ele-
vator mani!
Mike is more than this. He is a
philosophers sort of sage in his way,
and, what is more, is an acute stu
dent OF human nature who reads men
as we'll Us books and daily news
papers.
Just now he is hard at work trying
to solve a problem that occurred to
him the other day.
"Pve been pulling this elevator rope
so long" SAID Mike the other day,
that I've got most things about this
business down pretty fine. But there's
one thing that gets me and that
can't make out.
"What 1 can't understand is why
every man who gets into an elevator
wants to whistle. OF course, it's the
regular thing for boys to whistle in
any place they happen to be, but with
men it's different. There's a good
many men that don't whistle and
don't want to. know 'em as soon
as see them. There's bank presi-
dents. Bank presidents can't afford
to. Then there's editors; they don't
whistle much either. No one ever saw
q policeman whistle when any one
was about.
"Now, you take any one OF these
three when they get into an elevator,
and before they have gone up ten feet
their mouths are puckered up and
they are trying to whistle. 1t never
fails. Men who would never think OF
whistling no sooner get into this box
than they try to make knocking birds
OF themselves. And such whistling as
it is, too. Most of it is like the squeak
OF q cart axle that wants greasing.
I've looked this here thing over and
over, and can't make it out. I'd
like some smart person to tell me
what there is in an elevator that sets
men to whistling?"
Here is q chance for psychologists to
come to the front.--Mail and Express.

RAINBOWS TO ORDER,

A Novel Advertising Scheme--H How
Nature was improved Upon.
A crowd of people were one day
conferred about the windows of an up
town saloon in which there stood two
broad, long and thin cakes of pure,
clear grained ice, set with just enough
space between them to admit an cleo
trio light. The rays passing through
the ice were reflected in every direc-
ton, and the window was literally full
of rainbows.
The same effect can be obtained,
though in aless degree, by standing two
panes of glass side by side, half or
quarter OF an inch apart, then, after
boxing up the ends with strips OF glass
or wood, filling the space between the
.panes with finely cracked ice and sus-
pending an electric light rgas-jet mid
way behind the CONTINUANCE, always
taking care that the glasses are entire
ly free from dust or dirt before being
used. This is an excellent method of
using up ones superfluous ice and at
the same time getting an effective free
advertisement.
A French firm of jewellers made use
Of this same principle last winter in
Paris on magnificent scale. Large
cheets of plate glass were used and the
tracked ice was sown with hundreds
of diamonds, sapphires and rubies,
thus frightening the effect to degree
of startling brilliancy.

Eut Somehow 1t Didn't Give the

"Many funny things happen on the
big Sound steamers which never find
their way into print" said travel
ing man, as he sat smoking in hotel
lobby on upper Broadway.
"The last trip made down to Bos-
ton was characterized by one of the
funniest incidents that I have ever
run across. There was aboard New
England spinster, one of the most
sour-faced, rasping-voiced, disagree
able old female that have ever seen.
She was always giving trouble, and
kept the poor luggage steward con-
stantly at her beck and call. At last
the man lost his temper and told her
to go to the devil.
The lady, in a high state OF indigna-
ton reported the man to the captain.
That gentleman told the steward
he must find out the lady and apollo
rize to her. The steward consented
to do SO. At luncheon he appeared
and accosted the first lady at the
table thus: "Were you the lady I
told to go to the devil?" "No," said
this lady and several Others, all
equally surprised and amused. At
last, by series OF separate interroga-
tions, he discovered the right lady.
She responded, with an Indignantly
virtuous air: Eyes I am the lady"
"Ah, them" said the steward, "the
captain told me to tell you that you
needn't CO."

FRENCH THEATERS.

Plays in Paris Usually Last Four
Hours.
Plays in Paris usually begin at 8
o'clock and never finish until about
midnight. The orchestra never plays
between the acts, so there is no Undue
ment to remain in the hot, garlic
scented air during that time.
1t is q matter of some formality to
get into French theater. Don't
think, says the Boston Herald, that
you can do as in free America, throw
down few silver car wheels, with an
ugly Goddess of Liberty on one side
and a loudly screaming American eagle
on the other, and enter the theater
and take your seat.
If you wish a good place you must
90 to the theater from four to ten
days in advance if the play is a popu-
lar one, politely take off your hat to
the ugly and cross old female in
the box Office and humbly ask
for the seat you wish. When
she has finished discussing the latest
styles from Russia with her assistant
she will gruffly exclaim: Comment!
You must not reply, as q friend OF
mine did who was not we'll up in
French, Come on yourself" but say
your polite sentence all over again.
Then you get q written ticket and
have to pay two cents for a revenue
stamp to put on it.
On the evening OF the performance
you purchase o programme at the
door and walk up to the desk where
three Frenchmen in full dress preside
These "iudges" act as ticket takers.
One OF them examines the green OF
red documents that you procured
with so much trouble to see that it is
not q forgery and that the date, etc.
is all right, and then passes it to one
OF his associate Judges in the supreme
court of united French red tape, who
looks it over and tears off one corner
and cries in q loud voice, "DeuS

DOLLAR FOR A KISS.
How a Drummer Was Saved From
Ruin,

A travelling man, who was also the
head Of a prosperous firm, promised
his newly welded wife, says the Michi-
gan Tradesman that he would give
her q dollar every time he kissed her,
and in that way she could save plenty
Of money. Things went on in this
way for several years, and as he made
plenty OF money he faithfully kept his
promise. Finally reverses came, and
the once prosperous travelling man
found that he was virtually a pauper.
He went home to his wife and told her
all. She, however, did not seem wor-
ried, and he was somewhat surprised
when she asked him to take ride
with her that afternoon, but he &C.
coated the invitation. Passing a large
block on u well-known street she said:
"That's mine" Soon she came to a
handsome flat and said: "That's
NINE" Well, she showed HIM several
places with the same remark, until he
began to be suspicious and inquired:
GLOW in the deuce did you acquire so
much wealth." Do youremember the
contract you made when we were first
married." she said. "Yes," he re-
piled, II do" "Well, I invested it,
and it has made usrich." The travel
ing man hung his head and said moth
ing. This was kept up for thirty min
utes, until his wife became alarmed,
and she asked; ''What in the world is
the matter, and what are you think
ing about?" He said: II was thinking
of how rich we would be if had done
all my kissing at home"

HE ENDED THE LES SON.
How a Small Boy Solved Problem
in Fractions,

a young teacher in q Bay City
school imparts the rudiments OF arith-
metic to q very large class Of very
small boys. The said boys are just
beginning the study ofthat department
OF science OF numbers which is general
ly known as "fractions" and recently
their instructor wished to illustrate
to them in the manner in which the
parts of an article are named. She
called up one OF the eight Johnnies OF
the class and told him to answer the
questions that she intended to ask
him loudly and plainly, so that the
whole class would have the benefit OF
the information brought out.
"Now Johnny" she said," "if you
had three little brothers and your
father should divide an apple equally
among you, how much of the apple
would each of you have?"
"One-quarter," answered the boy
promptly.
Correct. And if you had seven
little brothers and your father should
divide an apple equally among you,
how much OF the apple would each of
you have?"
"One-eighth."
Correct. And if you had fifteen
little brothers and your father should
divide ana apple equally among you,
how much OF the apple would each OF
you have?"
"One-sixteenth."
Correct. And if you had thirty
one little brothers and your father
should divide an apple equally among
you, how much OF the apple would
each OF you have?"
"Say, teacher, pa amt no Mormon"
said little Johnny, and the teacher
dismissed the class.-Bay City Trib-
