A Woman's Wit.

DR.. Adler tells good story about a
verbal sparring match between the En-
peror Hadrian and a rabbi Said the
Emperor: "Why, your Gssl is represented
as thief, for he surprised. Adam in his
sleep and robbed him of one of his ribs. y
The rabbits daughter craved permission
to reply and when her request was
granted she said 'sLet me implore thine
imperial protection. A great outrage
has been inflicted upon us. . What has
happened9' asked the Emperor She
answered, "In the darkness of the night
an audacious thief broke into our house.
He took silver flagon from our chest
of plate and left golden one in its

Can a Fish be Frozen ?

Somebody told D.. w. T. Herring that
it was impossible 10 freeze a fish to
death, but he was not fully. convinced
and decided to test the mat
ter the first opportunity. Last week he
tried, putting two young carp in jar Of
water and allowing it to freeze almost
solid, except about tablespoonful Of
water about the little fish. The fish did
not seem to mind itmuch, and as soon as
the ise thawed out they swan around as
lively as ever.

squirrel hunters who imagined that the
game had entered into the tree through
the aperture at the base. The wind must
have blown an acorn down into this
hollow centre, for tree sprang up in it
and grew straight upward and out into
the sunshine. For appearance sake tho
owner of the ground sawed off the jagged
portion at the top, making it level and
smooth. The young oak has fourished
well, until now it fills the heart of the
tree very compaotly. The opening at
the base has been hidden by earth piled

covering the stump. "-[St. Louis Globe.

Enemies of the Diver.

The diver, as the reader may i'm
a~lne, gets many scares when below.
A tlfteen-foot shark, magnified by
the water, and making Decline for
one, is sufficient to make the strong
est heart quake, in spite of the as
sertion that sharks have never been
known to attack man in dress.
Neither is the sight Of a large turtle
comforting when one does not know
exactly what it Is, and the coiling of
asea snake around ones legs, although
1t has only ones hands to bite at, is,
to say the least, unpleasant. A little
fish called the stonefish is one of the
enemies of the diver, continues a
writer in the Century. 1t seems to
make its habitation right under the
pearl shell, as it is only when picking
them up that any one has been known
to have been bitten. | remember

days, and suffering intense pain the

staying down a couple OF hours after
a bite will stop any further discom-
fort, the pressure of water causing
much bleeding Of the bitten part, and
thus cxpelling the poison.
One OF the strange effects that div
ing has upon those who practice it Is
the Inevitable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom; as this ir-
\ ritability passes away as soon as the
surface is reached again, it is only
reasonable to suppose that it is caused
by the unusual pressure of the air in
side the dress, affecting probably the
lungs, and through them the brain.

dren.
Low snail the dangerous alum DOW ders
be distinguished Aud how SHALL the
danger to health from their use be
uvoided2
Generally, alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are sold.
or from the fact that they are accom-.
panied by gift, are disposed of under
some scheme. The alum powder costs
out lew cents pound to make. and ia
often sold at 20 or rs cents pound.
IT some present is given with it. the
pr.ce may be 30, 40 or SO cents a pound.
IT is impossible to name all the alum
powders IN the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or adver
nzed as costing only halt as much as
cream OF tartar powders, accompanied by
present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is OF this class, detrimental to
hevith, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain protec.
ton OF our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger Of Embellishments is in the
use Of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because of the
'nnumerabe reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. 8. Gov.
eminent, and by the official chemists and
Boards OF Health, which leave no doubt
as to its entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, its absolute purity and
whoesomeness. While its use is thus a
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it IS satisfactory at the same
time to know that it makes the whitest.
iIghtest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with i'm
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength it
Is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn deaf ear to all opportunities to
Lug the inferior powder. If grocer
urges the sale OF the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be borne in mind that it
Is because he can make more profit on
them. The wise housekeeper will decline
IN all cases to take them.

Roach, of North Dakota, was precipi.
tated In the Senate at the very opening
OF to'day's proceedings by Mr.. Roach
nlmeeif He role and referring to Mr..

he was perfectly willing that tho inves-
tigation should be proceeded with. It
had been his desire and purpose at first
to ask such investigation, but he had
yielded to the advice of older Senators

and presidents of the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar inquired after Mr. Roach
took his seat, whether the Democratic
Senators would permit his resolution to
be agreed to by unanimous consent.
Mr.. George. however, said be would
not be party to any such agreement,
and he denied absolutely the power Of
the Senate, under any circumstances, to
institute and conduct the investigat
In reference to the conduct Of Senator,
which conduct had transpirad prior to
his election. And he also denied abso.
lutely that any consent on the part OF
Senator whose conduct was proposed to
be investigated would give Jurisdiction
to the Senate. Mr.. George m ade a con-
stitutional and legal argument in sup.
port OF his position.
AT the close of Mr.. Georges argument
MIR. German gave notice Of q substitute
which he would offer for Mr.. Hoar's
resolution. The substitute directs the
committee on privileges and elections
to inquire into and consider the question
as to whether the Senate has authority
or jurisdiction to investigate charges
made against q Senator as to the conduct
or offenses occurring or committed prior
to his election, not relating to his duty
as Senator or affecting the integrity of
his election.
