literary center because it possesses two
hairs alleged to have come from the eye

have been pulled from the original pas-
ter dealh-mask of the poet by an English
wood carver, who had the mask in his
place of business in order that he might
make for it wooden olive wreath. The

The outbreak Of the cholera in Ham
burgh and the continued prevalence of
the disease in several provinces of Russia
make it imperative that congress take
immediate steps to guard this country
from the plague. This Is necessary in
view of the hordes of foreigners who in
tend to come to America next season If
they are given the chance. Surgeon
General Wyman of the marine hospital
service points out the dangers from this
source in an interview, saying, among
other things;

Hon. VIM. E. Barrett, who has just
been elected speaker of the Massachu-

fifth consecutive year, is a political
curiosity. A dozen years ago he was a
reporter on the st. Albans Messenger.
He was noted in that town for unbound
ed assurance rather than for any posi-
tive ability. Later he was Washing
ton correspondent; then was made editor
of the Boston Advertiser. Presently he
came to the front as statesman, and now
he is seriously regarded, especially by
himself, as probable United States
senator.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD
Which Houxokoepers Should EARNESTLY
Consider.

Which Houxolkoepers Should Earnestly
Consider.
4 serious danger menaces the health
of the people of this country in the nu-
mercus alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon tho public.
There is no question as to the detri--
mental effect of these powders upon the
system. Every Board of Health, every
physician, will tell you of the unwhoIe-
some qualities they add to the faod.
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, indiges ton,
gripping, constipation, dyspepsia, and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum phos-
plate 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 injurc the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill.
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum powders
lie distinguished And how shall the
danger to health from their use be
avoided2
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 % or rs cents pound.
If some present is gwen with it, the
price may be 80, 40 or so cents a pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold ut low price, or adver-
tized as costing only half as much as
cream of tartar powders, accompanied by
q present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, sale, 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 y. 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, its absolute purity and
wholesomeness. While its use is thus
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it is satisfactory at the same
time to know that it makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with inn
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength il
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn a 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 il
is because he can make more profit or
them. The wise housekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.
