Admiral d. Hor..y and tn. sentry.

When Admiral de Horsey. who
some years ago had command Of the
British feet In tho Pacific. was tho
admiral Of the North Atlantic
squadron. he was one evening dining
on shore at Port Royal. Jamaica On
returning to his flag g-ship alone after
dinner. his way to the boat led
across the barrack square. A black
sentry, of one of the West India
regiments, halted him at the gate
with. "Who goes dar?" Great was
the admiral's annoyance to find he
had neglected to get the password
before leaving the ship That's
all right" he said carelessly. hoping
to overcome the mans scruples by
indifference; 'you know who l am."

Keepina = Few Hens.

II one Is going 20 make poultry keep
ing a business, will give his whole
time to It. he can arrange 1t so as to
do many things that cannot profitably
be done where only small flock is
kept; n man keeping but one cow can
not afford to have 4 Babcock tester,
a separator, a power churn, nor can he
afford to build Il silo; so the man or
woman who has the care of small
flock of hens cannot afford the time to
do all the things that one doing 4 large
poultry business can.
Keeping few hens need cost bur n
few moments ever; day II the keeper
will only keep them in 4 sensible way.
i know that my way pays, l know That
the hens are healthy. ! know that the
way I care for them takes the least
possible time and work, so It always
riles me when / see advice given thit
calls for such Il useless outlay OF time
and work as that which l have been
quoting. for l know that some over
worked women will think that tliey
must follow 1t and thus add another
burden to the too heavy ones they now
bear.
Let up on hen care and give us ht-
tie woman care: one woman's comfort
is worth more than all the hens on the
farm: give the women resting advice,

a Matter OF Health.

Housekeepers family realize the dam
ger Of an indiscriminate use of the nu-
merous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and infame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
tion, heartburn, diaYheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-pro-
ducing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet unscrupulous manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all kind of allur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sentations. All the low priced or So
called cheap baking powders, and all
powders sold with gift or prize, be-
long to this class.
Baking powders made from chemi-
cally pure cream of tartar and bi-car-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible. but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness Of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed OF such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be
tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the doc.
tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad
vantages Of good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers of bad
ones in which the harsh and caustic
chemicals are used, are to be secured
by the use Of Royal Baking Powder
exclusively, and he recommends this
to all consumers. "The Royal" he
says, "contains nothing but cream OF
tartar and soda refined to chemical
purity. which, when combined under
the influence Of heat and moisture, pro
duce pure carbonic, or leavening, gas.
The two materials used, cream of tar
tar and soda, are perfectly harmless
even when eaten, but in this prepara'
ton they are combined in exact com
pensating weights, so that when chem
ical action begins between them in the
dough they practically disappear, the
substance of both having been taker
to form carbonic acid gas" Hence il
is, he says, that the Royal Baking Pow
der is the most perfect of all conceiv'
able agents for leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in the place o.
those of well-known, pure and whole
some character simply for the sake o.
few cents pound greater profit; bu
since they do, few words Of warning
seem to be necessary.

The sidewalk was filled with hur-
rying people. says the New York
Times. Three peddlers stood on the
curb, one with shoe laces, another
with candy. another with gold paint
Neither looked as il he expected
to sell anything. Nobody paid the
slightest attention to them. A man
without legs came stumping over the
sidewalk. People merely hurried
out OF his way. A man passed
dressed in outlandish garments. ad-
vertising q patent medicine. Nobody
looked twice at him. An old woman
whose tangled gray hairs were blown
in the wind shuffled feebIy along and
nobody saw her. A pair Of Chinese,
an italian woman dressed for iete,
a negro nearly seven feet in height,

One little fist grabbed the loose skin

The whispering waves rose and fell
after the manner OF whispering waves
at Santa Cruz and elsewhere. says
the San Francisco Examiner. There
were not many bsthers in the surf,
for the best OF the day was past and
the smile had all gone out OF the
weather.
Away out beyond the foaS black
speck showed now and then. 1t was
the head OF girl that swims better
than anybody else at Santa Cruz. The
float is the limit of the ordinary
swim down there, but to her the
swim to the raft is but the first step
OF journey. She swims away out
beyond the line OF boats that do
what they can to make the sunset
picturesque
She tarried at the deserted float on
the way out to sea, and when she
had gone there remained on the float
q bathing skirt Skirts are rather

tie by little wanton waves went over
the raft and carried the garment to
the edge and other waves reached
for it, and finally it left the raft and
went dancing merrily shoreward.
The bay is very breezy at Santa Cruz
and the skirt was hurried along. No
body noticed the garment until it
had foated close in and nobody paid
much attention to it then.
After while the girl who swims
better than anyone else turned her
strokes shoreward. She reached the
raft and looked for her skirt. which
by this time was being used as a mop
by the washing waves on the sandy
shores. While skirt is inconvenient
in a long swim, it is practically in
dispensible In a walk up the beach
when a lot Of people are looking on.
So the best swimmer at Santa Cruz
huddled up on the float. where lad
der prevented the people on the beach
from seeing whether she had en- a

Pretty soon people noticed her
and wondered why she did not come

but it did not seem possible that any
body would voluntarily sit on wet
raft after sunset
At last somebody saw the skirt
swashing around in the sand. The
girls and matrons comprehended and
giggled. Maybe some Of them
thought it served her right for being
able to swim SO well. Ths cause of
the trouble was apparent, but the
remedy was not clear. 1t was very
cold by this time and nobody wanted
to swim out to the raft, even to res
cue the distressed one. There was
no boat handy. and it looked for a
time as though the best swimmer at
Santa Cruz would have to roost on
the cold, wet raft until after dark.
But the occasion, as is customary

Wages for Farm Labor.

Secretary Rusk made an interesting
contribution to the industrial statistics
of the country in his published report
ON the wages of farm labor in the
United States. His table shows that in
1866 monthly farm wages, exclusive Of
board, were as follows: In Eastern
states, $33.31: Middle states, $29.S3;
Southern states, $16.63; Western states,
$27.S4; Mountain states, $27.23; Pacific
states, S43.6O; the average being $26.S7.
The lowest point was reached in 1879,
when the average was S1605. From
that time, however, they have steadily
increased until at the present time
they are: In Eastern states, S26.46;
Middle states, $22.23; Southern states,
$14.S6; Western, $22.61; Mountain. $22.-
81; Pacific, $36.15; the average per
