THE HIGHLAND SHEPHERD BOZ.

THE HIGHLAND SHEPHERD BOZ.
Through tangle of purple heather,
Where whipping burn ran deep,
A lad in his Highland bonnet
Came driving flOck of sheep.
But ere they had reached the border,
Half hidden in shining moss,
Where the sheep walk SlOped to tine shallow
AT which they were used to cross
The flock in their silly shyness
Turned suddenly startled back,
Because in the path before them,
Right over the beaten track,
A sketcher sat with her easel,
So busy she had not stirred;
And the noise of the hoOfs that battered
Behind her she had not heard.
"Haud DOT O. my gait ~ the shepherd,
Bawled Justify from the steep
"Haud GOT o my gait we scatter
And brighten AVA my sheep"
From the coppice liveried gillie
Stepped suddenly to his side
ITO whom do you speak so rudely?"
With tone of rebuke he cried.
why sure, the Teddy yonder
Who has ma the sense to know
She's blockin' the sheep walk sairly-
An sir, We maun tell her So"
Il tell her? Why lad you lady
Is the grandest you ever seen;
Her home is Balmoral Castle,
And she's the English Queen.'
''Weel, how could ken her ?" queried
The boy with captious frown
"Why dinna she hold her sllepter-
"Why could ma she wear her CROWN"

But This Corner Was q Little Bit too
Lively for Him.
Caught in little jam right at the
apex of the triangular block whose
point is bounded by Broadway, Fifth
avenue and Twenty-third street, was
wagon loaded high with crates of live
chickens. with one exception, all kept
their heads within the crates The
uproar of this crowded corner was
somewhat greater than that OF tho
barny ards to which they had been ac-
customed, and 1t madc them little
shy, says the New York Sun. The
exception was big rooster who was
in the topmost crate. He stuck his
head up between the stats as high as
he could lift it, and looked with
somewhat serious face up and do yn
Broadway and Fifth avenue and along
Twenty third street He saw the cur
rents of human life that fow ceasely
along those busy thoroughfares; he
saw the tall, blue coated pilots who
stand ready upon the turbulent 23d
street crossing where so many cross
currents meet. and he heard the
ceaseless music of the wheels and
hoofs,
As he looked the rooster's face
seemed to grow more serious. He
was a merry old rooster, the boss OF
everything within his own familiar
precincts; but he had come upon New
York rather suddenly. and he found
life at this busy crossing just little
bit too lively for him. He looked on
for moment longer and then turning
his head with slow deliberation. he
took parting look up and down
Broadway and Fifth avenue and along
Twenty-third street, and then, still
slowly. he pulled his head down be-
tween the stats and back into the
crate, and he kept il there until az

This involves the fact that the bread
SO made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
1t will be strange if the crowds OF
visitors to the Worlds Fair do not
greatly increase the number of con-
tagious diseases which We will have to
treat. Under these circumstances Is
it not folly of follies to open single
channel through which these germs
may reach us? Is it not the part of
wisdom to watch with the greatest care
all that we eat and drink, and to see
that none but the safest and best
methods are employed in the prepara-
ton of our food? To me it seems as
though there could be but one answer
to questions like these.

germs OF disease are to be found in

will be deposited on it. Bread raised
with yeast is worked down or kueaded
twice before being baked and this pro-

fui. Fortunately these are not hard
to find.
The evils which attend the Yeast
made bread are obviated BY the use OF
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid
and an alkali which, if properly com.
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas. A good baking pow.
der does its work while the loaf is in
the oven, and having done it, disap

But care is imperative in selecting
the brand OF baking powder to be Ger.
tain that 1t is composed of non-iniuri-
Gus chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are compounded
from impure ingredients, or those
which are not combined in proper pro
portion or carefully mixed and which
will leave either an acid or an aikalj
IN the bread, must not be used.
1t is well to sound a note of warn
ing in this direction or the change
from the Objectionable yeast to an i'm.
pure baking powder will be case Of
jumping from the frying pan into the
FIRE.
The best baking powder made is, at
shown by analysis, the Royal" L
contains absolutely nothing but cream
Of tartar and soda, refined to chem
ical purity, which when combined un
der the influence Of heat and moisture
produce carbonic acid gas, and hayin1
done this, disappear. Its leavenine
strength has been found superior to
other baking powders, and as far as
know, it Is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. Its use
avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough must stand in
order that the starch may fermeni
and there is also no kueading neces-
sary,
The two materials used in the Royal,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compensating
/ weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav-
ing been taken up to form the carbonic
acid gas More than this, the proper
method Of using the powder insures
the most thorough mixing with the
-four. The proper quantity being
taken, it is mixed with the -four and
stirred around in it. The mixture is
then sifted several times and this in

being added, the dough is made up as
quickly as possible and moulded into
the loaves
These are placed in the oven and
baked But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mix
ture Of cream of tartar and soda, these
two Ingredients chemically combine
and earbonic acid or leavening gas is
evolved. The consequence may be
seen at glance, the bread is raised
during the time it is baking in the
oven, and this is the most perfect
Of all conceivable methods Of raising it
Here, then, there is no chance for
germs Of disease to get into the dough
aud thence into the stomach, more
than that the bread is necessarily as
sweet as possible, there having been
no time during which it could sour.

A WILD BOY.
He Eats Grass and In Other Ways T.
Like an Animal


The town of Livermore has a wild
boy that eats grass and lives on roots
and herbs and does all sorts OF
strange things.
For years this wild boy has lived
in his fathers pastures, and has been
as contented as any ordinary mortal
would be in well-furnished and
comfortable home. The unfortunate
lad has name and a home, but he
does not regard either as much as
any rational being would. He pre-
fers to frisk around in his fathers
grain fields and chase the frightened
children of the neighborhood down
the country roads.
John Worth is the wild boys
name, and he is about Is years old.
says the San Francisco Examiner
His father is Harrison Worth. who
lives on little tract of ground few
miles out of Livermore. The boy
has been terror to the neighbors
for long time. Ever since his
birth he has been an imbecile, and
all attempts to teach him even the
rudiments OF understanding have been
but dismal failures.
The wild boy knows absolutely
nothing, and is as much at home out
in the open fields as he is at his
fathers hearthside. Recently he
has been terrorizing the neighbors
of the Worth ranch to such an ex-
tent that he was arrested on
the complaint of Farmer Clark, who
considers him dangerous to be at
large. His sanity was investigated
l.
day, but the doctors decided that the
green fields and the hills that sur
rounded Livermore valley were bet
ter places for him than an insane
asylum would be, so he was sent
home on the afternoon train in Gus
| tody of his father. who has promised
to take better care of him in the
/ future.
The boys father had been in the
habit Of keeping his son at home by
tying him to stake, just as the cat
tie are treated, and he never makes
any attempt to escape. The rope
around his ankle has always been
sufficient to keep him within bounds,
and while the wild boy would tug at
his rope just as any dumb brute
would do he has never had the intell-
/ igence to unite his fastening.
When united and turned out in the
pasture with the cattle the boy affects
all of their traits. He jumps about
in the fields like a frisky lamb.
drinks water out of the creek and
eats grass He developed his liking
for grass and roots several years ago
and seems to prefer such food to a
carefully prepared meal in his fathers
dining room.
The boys parents are very poor
and have been unable to do anything
to assist the unfortunate lad, SO they
have allowed him to grow up in the
green fields with the live stock. By
reason of his peculiarities the boy
has been called the Wild Boy OF
Livermore for the past ten years. and
the little children have the most alb
ject fear of him. When loose he will
climb fences and chase them down
the road, but he has never been known
to harm any of them. When he
catches them he looks them over
curiously and seems to regard them
with simple interest

Special to the Independent.
GREAT FALLS, May 3.-Trouble in con-
neotion with the construction Of the north
side sewers. which everybody hoped WAS
settled some weeks ago when Mark Tuck.
the contractor. agreed to 90 over the work
and make good any defects. has bobbed up
again. Last Saturday night the city coun-
oil allowed him an estimate of $4,000 after
he made the usual affidavit that all bills
contracted up to date had been settled.
Late that night he was given warrant for
the amount. which he promptly turned over
to the cashier of ono of the banks to which
he owed considerable money. Now he is
missing and has left about $4,000 in worth
less checks scattered among several mer.
chants and quite a number of his laborers.
His bondsmen claim they cannot be held
responsibls a. some of the specifications In
the original contract were changed without
their knowledge. Parties holding the
worthless checks will bring suit against the
city.
The strangest part Of this second chapter
in the sewer scandal was the unusual action
of the e.council in accepting Tuok's affidavit
that all bills had been paid, as only half an
hour before the guardians of the city's vel
fare had spent a few moments of theil
precious time discussing the very matter OF
payment having boon refused on some OF
Tuek's checks.
