The controversy of Senator Irby
and General Farley is of no concern
to the people, The differences be-
tween these two gentlemen are OF a
purely personal nature and will in no
way effect the Reform Movement.
The principles for which the Reform
ers are conteading are too deep and
too enduring to be injured by the
personal disputes and fights OF
some of the leaders, and those
who hope to see a disruption Of the
movement on this account will simply
hope in vain.

There was a very large crowd at

day and trade was lively through the
day. Everything passed off quietly.

Prof. j. z. r. Kyzer. will take
charge of a singing school at Chaplin

The young men have organized a
debating society at Flint Hill, and I
wish them a grand success.
Some men will keep up their old
trade, doing nothing and live off or

owe. Do your best ard you'll do
we'll.
Rev. j. J. George, preached an OK

Sunday in the presence Of a large
congregation, and he will preach at

Rev. W. L. Darr, will meet his
Catechetical class, at St. Jacobs

a very large class to attend. All you
boys and girls that don't belong to

you join.
Mr.. q. NJ. Williams has a fine
working school at Chaplin. School is
a very interesting subject. It is a
place Of discipline and instruction
prepared for the young; and it is
also a very good thing.
There ere s. very large number Of
children that have but very little
chance togo toschoola and some of them
make very useful men and women
of themselves. And there are some
who 60 to school year after year and
never come to be anything. The rea-
son of thai, they never try,
The way to make a good improve
1nent in school is to study by the
shine of the midnight lamp. Do not
idle away time in school but do your
best and try to make an improve
mert in your studies that you may
make yourselves useful. School is not
only a place to study books but it is
a place to learn manners. Educa-

Clever Work of Pirates.

A story from.the native Chinese papers
reproduced in the Hongkong press tells
of the clever methods of Chinese pirates.
A party of the freebooters boarded a pas
senger boat bound from Shek -lung to
Canton and distributed themselves
among the travellers. They told stories
and performed tricks of jugglery until
the passengers were enchanted. A
poisonous snake used by one of the Jug
glers disappeared and while a search
was being made for it a female pirate
made an outcry, declaring that she had
been robbed of a bracelet. All the bag
gage was searched and the woman found
the missing article in her own jewelry
box. While she was being denounced
the male PRIZES suggested that, as a
punishment, she be compelled to serve
tea to the company. This met with
unanimous approval. The woman pirate
was young and pretty. The tea had
been judicionsly doctored and soon
every one but the pirates were asleep.
The luggage aud trunks were speedily
ransacked of everything of value, even
to the money box of the passenger boat,
and the booty carried on shore, the boat
being left to the mercy Of wind and
waves with its cargo of drugged inmates.

Test For the Purity Of Milk.

Whether it is worth while to know
exactly the degree to which ones milk
seller is watering his milk is an open
question which each must decide for
himself. For those who do not consider
that ignorance is always bliss a simple
way of setting at rest any doubts is to
the purity of the milkman's stock in
trade is provided in a new galactometer.
The instruments ordinarily used for this
purpose consist of a glass tube with a
graduated scale of paper inside, and
their record is not as a rule reliable. The
new instrument is said to be much more
accurate, and shows at a glance whether
the milk is pure or ad%ulterated. The
instrument is a glass tube open at both
ends, along which a little ball of blue
glass acts as indicator, The density Of
this ball is 1929, and it is SO adjusted
that it can float only on pure milk

A man who owns a buffalo robe is the
possessor of more than he perhaps knows.
Years ago buffalo robes were sold for 9
song. But the slaughter of the buffalo
has made the skins very scarce, and the
price of robes has been steadily advanc-
ing until they are now valued at from
$40 to $50. Many a farmer has lying
about his wagon house, hay loft or in the
garnet of his house a buffalo robe which
looks not much different from what it
did when he bought it ten, fifteen or
twenty years ago, and winch he does not
prize very highly. Let him change his
mind at once. That old buffalo skin,
upon which he and every member of his
family have been treading, and which
they have been kicking from pillar I"

dollars. -Plttsburg Dispatch.

dren.
How snail the dangerous alum powders
be distinguished And how shall the,
danger to health from their use be
avoided? G
Generally, alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are sold,
or from the fact that they are accom-
panied by a gift, are disposed of under
some scheme. The alum powder costs
but a few cents a pound to make, and is
often sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound.
If some present is given with it., the
price may be 80, 40 or SO cents a pound.
It is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold ut a low price, or adver.
tized as costing only half as much as
cream of tartar powders, accompanied by
a present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is Of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain protec-
ton of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger of Embellishments is in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because of the
innumerabIe reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. 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 usS is thus a
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 i'm
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength it
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn a deaf ear to all opportunities to
buy the inferior powder. If a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be borne in mind that it
is because he can make more profit on
them. The wise h~ousekeeper will decline
In all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using a doubt
fAt article where so important a matter as
the health or life Of dear ones is at stake.
