GLADSTONE MAY WIN.
PROSPECTS FOR HOME RULE.
The Tories are Indifferent and the Lib

SesrrIi strays have shown in the last week
that the wind Is blowing favorably for the

House the Gladstonians have more than held
their own, 10 the intense disgust OF the Tory
editors, whc continue TO thunder against the

Gludstoulan rejoicing has been the winning OF
the Cirenccster scnt in the House. The vic

so unpopular that he had undergone a series
Of murtifying defeats In other constituencies

RIDICULOUS DECORATION.

for this purpose. Now | am quite
sure that all of my readers will agree
With me that tho less one tries to
ornament piano legs the better it will
be for the feelings Of ones friends,
No amount of ribbon or of any
thing else can make piano legs beav-
tiful. would as soon think OF put

ribbons. One would not be any moro
incongruous than the other. or all
things, piano legs are least fit fer

will be wise not to triile with them.

\ Mother and Her Children Drowned Iu
Flood.
a terrible calamity has oyertaken the wi,
lage of Gefsely near the town uf Paks, in
Hungary, situated on the River Danube,
about sixty mllcs -oulh of Buda. Owing 10
sudden rise Of the Danube the eco inhabi.
tants Of Gergely found the mud huts in which
they lived surrounded by water. The people
took refuge In the church and school, which
were constructed Of stronger materials, hop
ing that these buildings would be able TO
hold out against the food. Mothers and
children clung TO the altar bcsecchlng the
intcrccssion Of the saints. They saw their
homes disappearing in the raging stream aud
the swelling waters began 10 beat against the
church and the school building with such
strength that at lat they decided that 10 re-
main would mean the destruction OF all OF
them, while If they lcd some, at least might
escape,
Opening tho doors they started out Into
the food, which surgcd nearly to the waists
OF the grown-up people. Father. and
mothers carried their children. and the sick
and feeble were helped aong by those who
were stronger.
They fed as fast as they could in the drcc-
ton Of Paks one mother with five children
sank IN the waters and perishcd Many
others, the number OF which is as yet un-
known were drowned in the food and the
survivors reached Paks in most dcplorsble
condition.
The people OF Pak- gave the fugitlvcs all
the help possible, although deeply concerned
for their own safety, as the Danube is twenty
feet above the normal. There is no doubt
that the number Of dead is very large.

4 MATTER OF HEALTH.
u. Louis Authorities Examinins Il
baking Powderp.

bSs houh Authofltieb ExAmuinB the
baking Powders.
tSt. Louis Globe. Dcmocrat.]
At the request of Health Commits
sioner brennan, the city chemist has
collected snhipies Of the varions bak-
ing powders sold in st. Louis and sub
jected them to analysis for the purpose
Of obtaining for the public benefit in
formation as to their composition and
character, whether wholesome or other
wise.
Owing to the fact that alum baking
powders are produced at n cost of less
than four cents u pound, while in APP
pearance they are hardly distinguish.
able from pure cream of tartar pow
der, costing from eight. TO ten times as
much to manufacture, there have been
many of them put upon the market,
and great efforts made to substitute
them for the more wholesome cream of
tartar compounds.
OF course, such powders afford wide
margins of profits both to the manu-
facturers and dealers and it is not un-
usual 10 find them for this reason
recommended and urged upon custom
ers who would not, knowing their true
character, Use them under any cunsd-
erationi
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream of tartar powder only
the Royal: one cream Of tartar pow
der containing free tartaric acid; one
phosphate powder containing sulphate
of lime, and that all the other brands
are made from alum. The samples
ranged in strength from l3.47 per cent
of leavcning (carbonic ncid) gas found
in the Royal, to Cos per cent found in
nn alum powder.
The general usefulness Of bakins
powder depends largely tpofi the
Quantity of leavening gas II gives off
A powder containing thirteen per cent.
of gas will go more than twice as far
that is, one pound of such powder will
raise more than twice as much flour
as one that evolves but six per cent.
The economy thus shown, however, is
not the greatest consideration. The
low strength powders leave n large
residuum in the food, which, being Of
alum in its various forms, renders the
food positively unwholcsomc.
Upon this point, and in describing
the character of the baking powder
found of highest strength, the City
Chemist says: "a high leavening
power is requisite. Pure ingredients
in proper combination quicken and in
crease the production Of carbonic acid
gas. In this the Royal excels all 9TH
crs 1t is the highest in strength, in
fabrique iaultlcss arrangement of
agents, pure and wholesome, free from
adultcration with lime, ammonia or
nlum."
The result OF these tests will be read
with interest and will prove of great
benefit to houselSeepers by enabling
them to distinguish the pure from the
numerous impure and nnwholesome
powders found in the market.
