Cannibals Of the Ocean,

There is a eerocous kind Of shark,

4 Matter Of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminato use of the
numerous 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
alkales which burn and indame the
nlimentary organs and cause indiges-
tion, heartburn, diarrheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware OF the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals ale applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes Yet INSCRIPTIONS man
ufacturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
ders SO made, by all kinds Of allurin8 adj
vertisements and false representations
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and oil powders sold
with gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chem
ically 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 ia
booed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner OF Health
of New York, in an article in tho
doctor of Hygiene, indicates that
the advantages of n good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
IOWutI tACIuH4Ntil' hiiu III ASNDiiA
mends this to all consumers. 'The
Royal" he says, CONTAINS nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
refined to a chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence OF
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leayening, gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they are
combined in exact compromising
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them in the dough they
practically disappear, the substance OF
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas" Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder Is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those OF
a well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents a pound greater profit; but since
they do, a few words of warning seem
to be necessary.

A Curious Story of the First Ecu

A Curious Story of the First Eu-
ropean-Japanese Marriage.
Chicago Re cord.
At one time If japanese girl married
a foreigner she was instantly decapi-
tated. A Portuguese gentleman whom
we met in Yokohama related his ex-
perlence in this direction. He went
there thirty years ago and fell i'll love
with a Japanese girl. Her parents
warned her Of the fatal consequences of
marrying him. He was young and
ardent, and she romantic.
''If you agree to marry me l will die
with you," be said.
.'Then L will marry you, die or liye,"
the pretty maiden said.
He was a Catholic, and he had
promised his parents not to marry out
of his religion.
"WIll you join the church?" he asked.
Join anything" said she, 1--WE die
together"
They eloped and visited the nearest
priest, VINO advised them against their
fatal marriage, but to no purpose.
''She cannot be baptized, confirmed
and married all in the same day." said
the priest.
''She must" said the lover.
II must' she said, ''for we both die
tomorrow morning."
The priest waived few customary
rules to fit the occasion and performed
all three ceremonies at once, and then
interceded for the brides life. The
MikadO decided that he could not behead
the Portuguese, but the girl should die.
The priest warned him, saying. "She
is now Portuguese. too, and you would
better postpone the decapitation until
yon confer with the Portuguese govern
ment."
Time was granted. The priest
persuaded. The husband pleaded. The
Portuguese government demanded.
After correspondence which lasted
five years, and in which the British,
Amer lean and other consuls or repre-
sentatiyes took much interest. the young
woman was PERMITTED to live. Mr..
LaRosa, the happy husband. is now in
business with family surrounding him.
He, it is said, is the first European
who dared to marry Japanese.

ACROSS THE SAHARA,

New York Mail and Express.
If the United States could cross our
continent with railroads, or if Russia
can span Asia with line of rails, why
cannot France cross the Sahara desert
with railroad? Possibly it can. A
beginning has been made In that NAM
moth undertaking. But the difficulties
are incaIculable. As soon as those that
are now well known shall be overcome
others will rise. Consider for an in-
slant the enormous obstacles to making
railroad 1,500 miles Jong through a
territory without wood or ties, without
water. without everything required to
sustain life.
Railroads have been constructed
through countries to which all the ma
terials required have to be carried. But
here is country which does not even
supply water for the men who must do
the work. The sand storms that have
buried thousand caravans are liable to
arise and wipe out all traces of man and
his work. Yet this stupendous work is
now seriously contemplated by the
French government. When it is under
taken the rails will be laid from oasis to
oasis, which lie like islands in the great
ocean of the desert. AS 1t approaches
the south the trunk line may be divided,
one arm to run to Lake Tchad and the
ether to strike the Niger above Timbuc-
too. from which point steamers could
descend to Senegambia. The work may
cost hundreds or even thousands of
millions of dollars.
