A policeman in Central Park, New
York City, the other day noticed
two little girls lodging buslly about
through the crowds, aud suspecting that
they were up TO some mischief followed
them. Presently woman stopped him
and SAID that there had Eeen piece cut
out of her dress. Two other women i'm
niediately discovered that their dresses
had been similarly mutilated. The po-
liceman thereupon arrested the girls, and
found that each had pair Of scissors, land
several bits of cloth that they had cut
from different dresses. A man who said
that he had seen one of them cut at his
wiie's dress, went with him to the sta
ton house to lodge complaint. The
girls, who were very much frightened,
said in the most Innocent manner that
they wanted some rags to make clothes
for their dolls, and that as they dld not
know how else to get them they decided
to cut them out of ladies' dresses. The
gentleman concluded not to make a com.
plant, and the girls We're taken to their
mothers, who were advised to keep a
better watch on them in the future

Enemies of the Diver.

The diver, as the reader may i'm
agine, gets many scares when below.
A tifteen-foot shark, magnified by
the water, and making Il bee-line 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 Il large turtle
comforting when one does not know
exactly what it is, and the coiling Of
sea snake around ones legs, although
it has only ones hands to bite at, is,
to say the least, unpleasant. 4 little
fish called the stonefish is one OF IT,
enemies Of the diver, continues Il
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
well the first time | was bitten by
this spiteful member of the tilny
tribe. | dropped my bag of shells,
and fastened to the surface; but, in
this short space of time. my hand
and arm had so swollen that it was
with difficulty | could get the dres;
of, being unable TO work for three
days, and suffering intense pain the
while. Afterward | learned that
staying down couple OF hours after
a bite will stop any further discom-
fort, the pressure OF water causing
much bleeding Of the bitten part, and
fh,1c oyOallino ha rRicoO
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-
ritabllity 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.
My experience has been that while
below one may fly into the most VIC,
lent passion at the merest trifie, for
instance, the lifeline held too tight
or too slack, too much air or too lit
tie, or some imaginary wrong-doing
on the part of the tender or the boys
above, will often cause the temper to
rise. / Eave sometimes become so
angry in a similar way that / have
given the signal to pull up, with the
express intention Of knocking the
heads off the entire crew; but as the
surface was neared and the weight OF
air decreased my feelings have grad
ually undergone change for the bet
ter, until by the time | had reached
the ladder and had the face glass I'M
screwed l had forgotten for what
came up.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD
which Hoasekeepers should Earnestly
tonsideI.

tonsiGer.
a serious danger menaces the health
of the people Of this country in the nu-
merous alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon the public.
There is no question as to the detri-
mental effect Of these powders apon the
system. Every Board of Health, every
physician, will tell you q the unwhole-
some qualities they add to the food.
Some countries have absolutely pro-
hibited the sale Of bread containing
alum.
Even small doses OF alum. given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases OF heartburn. :7diges ton,
gripping, constipation, dyspepsia, and
various kindred gasttic troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused By the continuous use Of food
prepared with the alum or alum-p hos-
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice of every physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill.
dren.
How snail the dangerous alum powders
be distinguished Aud how shall the
danger to health from their use be
avoided
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
but few cents pound to make, and IS
often sold at 20 or % cents pound.
If some present is given with it, the
price may be 30, 40 or so cents pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or adyer.
tized 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
health, and to be avoided
But the easy, safe, and certain protec-
ton of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger of unwholesomeness is in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because of the
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the L. s. 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, It's absolute purity and
wholesomeness. While Its use is thus a
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it IS satisfactory at the same
time to know that 1t makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with I'M
muuity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to It's greater strength it
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn Il deaf ear to all opportunities to
buy 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.

THE OFFICE OF The
TEACHER.

Many teachers seem to mistake
the duties of their high office.
They throw all the work OF IN
structing the child upon the
parents, while they simply hear
Rotations and ascertain how
much the parent has taught the
child. If something like this ar
rangement is to be carried on IN
the schools, the method should
be reversed and the teacher
should do the teaching while the
scholar rehearses to the parent.
The teacher is paid to teach and
not to sit like a bump or a log
and test the children's acquire
ments from their parents care
and instruction. It is simply
outrageous to load all the work
upon the father and mother, who
pay taxes to provide a teacher
who shall teach. 1t is the duty
of the parent to help the child in
it's studies at home, but the child
ought not to be expected to come
to school with perfect lessons or
be marked down. If the boy or
girl is to learn everything outside
of the school, then the teacher
had better give up the school
and go to doing housework or
some other useful work.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

That you'll no longer hesitate,
But make your selections and buy.
