Color and Sound.

A vivid sketch was given by Prof.
Gruber of Roumania, in the Interna.
tional Congress of Experimental Psy'
chology, of remarkable associations OF
color and sound which he had been
observing for many years. To small
number among his best educated pa.
tients the sound of the vowel was nc.
companied by sensation of yellow
color. of by blue, of o by black. and
so on through all the Roumanian vow.
els and diphthongs, and to some ex.
tent with numbers. The same color
was not always induced by the same
sound in different persons, but the OBJ
servations had been carefully tested.

SERIOUS FACTS Neour BREAD
which mouseke-pers should Earnestly


which IIousckeepers should Earnestly
Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health
of the people of this country in the
numerous alum baking powders that
are now being urged upon the public
There Is no question as 10 the detri-
mental effects of these powders upon
sbe system. Every Board of Health.
every physician, will tell you OF the
unwholesome qualities they add To the
tood. Some countries have absolutely
prohibited the sale OF bread containing
alum.
Even small doses Of alum. given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn. Indigestion.
gripping constipation. dyspepsia, and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum-phos-
phate powders, are familiar In the
practice OF every physician.
II is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they
are sold, or from the fact that they are
accompanied by IA gift, or are disposed
of under some scheme. The alum DOW
der costs but a few cents u pound to
make, and Is often sold at20 or rs cents
pound. II some present is given with
1t, the price may be 30, 40 or 80 cents u
pound.
1t is impossible tn name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold ut a low price, or adver-
tised as costing only half rs much as
cream of tartar powders. or accompan-
led by present, or disposed of under
any scheme, is of this class detrimental
to health, and to be avoided.
But the easy. safe and Ger, IA pro
lection of our bread. biscuit ana cake
from all danger of Embellishments
is in the use of the Royal Baking Pow
der only This powder is mentioned
because of the innumerablc reports in
its favor by high medical authorities,
by the L. =. Government and by the
official chemists and Boards of Health,
which leave no doubt as to its entire.
freedom from alum, lime and am
monia, its absolute purity and whole
someness. While its use is thus n
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders il is satisfactory mt the same
time to know that 1t makes the whit
est. lightest. sweetest and most de-
licious food, which will keep moist
and fresh longer. and that can he
eaten with immunity hot or cold, stale
or fresh. and also that owing to its
greater strength it is more economical
than others.
These facts should incline consum-
crs to turn deaf ear to all importuni-
ties to- buy the inferior powders. II a
grocer urges the sale of the cheap, inn
pure. alum brands, it should be borne
in mind that it is because he can make
more profit on them. The wise house
keeper will decline in all cases to take
them.
Take no chances through using q
doubtful article where so important II
matter as the health or life of dear
ones is ut stake.

THEY WILL BUILD.
THE BEETHOVEN SINGING SOCIETY TO ERECT
AHALL
A Three Story Building, Including Stora Room
or Two, in Contemplation in the
Near Future.

Another of Wheeling's singing soci-
cites is to have eligible quarters OF its
own.
For quite while back the members
of the Beethoven, one of the oldest and
most substantial of the singing societies,
have been considering the advisa6ility
of erecting a building of its own, and
the idea being esteemed good one, at
the last meeting a committee was APP
pointed to select site and make re-
port back to the society. This commit
tee consists Of Messrs. ). Bloch, u.
Wengenroth and II. Schroeder, and they
are now engaged in looking about for
an eligible location.
1t is the idea of the Society to erect a
building three stories in height, which
will combine one or more business
rooms, hall for the purposes of the So
ciety, and numerous rooms for social
gatherings, the whole upper portion
being modelled somewhat upon the idea
of a club house such as is possessed by
the Arion, without being in any sense a
copy of that popular resort. In case
the arrangements can be made regard
ing a proper site, it is the idea of the
Society to commence work upon the
building during the coming season and
push it as rapidly as possible.
1t is only a question Of time until
some of the singing societies follow in
this idea, as,scarcely any of them possess
proper quarters.

FIRE ar rae MeLuRE.
The Boiler Room the Scene of Blaze this
Morning.


At seventeen minutes after one this
morning the night-watchman az the
Mcclure House discovered flames in the
boiler room attached to the hotel, the
building being a one-story brick in the
hotel yard, and about ten feet south OF
the main building. Box % was imme-
diately pulled and the department was
soon arriving in rapid succession, filling
up the street with fre-fghting appara-
tus. The Chemical got on the scene first,
and was run down alley G. in the rear
of the hotel, aud the fremen tearing
down the high board fence which cuts
of the alley from the hotel yard, soon
had the chemical fluid on the fire. By
this time the flames had secured a good
Roadway under the roof, and couple
OF hose streams half-a-doZen OF which
had been laid down, had to be called
into reQuisition. In twenty minutes
the fire was out, but the boiler-room
was left in a badly wrecked condition,
and will need extensive repairs.
As a natural consequence OF the
alarm, there was good deal of commo-
tion among the guests in the interior OF
the hotel, for q time, and there was
some rushing to and fro 10 rather un-
conventional costumes. The excite
ment was soon allayed, however, and
all resumed their interrupted slumber.
A dog and a litter of pups, which
were domiciled in the boiler room, were
roasted to death.
