Respect the Stomach.

Few people do have proper respect
for the stomach. If a thing 'tastes
good and is not so hot or so cold as to
be painful to the mouth or throat, it is
swallowed by too many people regard
less Of consequences.
Do not give the stomach food that
will irritate it or retard it in the per-
Torrance Of its natural functions, or a
headache, q "lump," or heavy feeling"
in the stomach, and irritations of the
skin, are mostly symptoms of disordereL
digestion resulting from unwholesome
food.
Alum baking powders are responsible
for the larger part of this unwholesome
food, for it is a fact well recognized by
physicians that alum renders food indi
gestible and unwfolesome.
The danger to health from this cause
is so imminent that it behooves every
one to adopt precautionary measures to
keep alum baking powders, which are
now so numerous, from the kitchen
stores. 1t will be found that those pow
ders sold at a lower price than Royal are
almost Invariably made from alum, and
therefore of inferior quality and dan
gerous to health.
The safer way is to look for the we'll
known red-and-yellOW label Of the
Royal Baking Powder. That is certain
to cover powder free from alum. The
Royal is made Of cream oftartar, pure,
wholesome fruit acid derived from
grapes. 1t is renowned for adding anti
dyspeptic qualities to the food, as we'll
as for making finer and better food.

closure proceedings against the Union

making the best possible arrangements
for the protection of the government

part of the directions he has negotiated
with the reorga nization committee of
that railway company, which has guar

If sold, high enough to insure the gov
eminent SIS, 754 GOO. With that guar
antee in view, foreclosure proceedings
have been commenced. The railroads
will be sold at public auction, aud in
case there are higher bidders than the
reorganization committee, the govern
ment will receive the benefit to the full
amount of the mortgages with the in
terest due. The determination of the
foreclosure proceedings will end the
business connection between the Pacific
railroad and the government.

The First did good deal in the way
Of fighting bushwhackers in Missouri IN
1892. Among the suspicious characters
the regiment picked up that year were
George 9. Vest, member Of the Con-
federate Senate, and Captain Cockerill,
both of whom are and have been, for
years, members of the United States
Senate. The regiment had knack
of catching big game. When dozen
other regiments had failed to run down
the fleeing President Of the Confed-
eracy the First was put on his track
and told to bring him in. 1t was done,
though Michigan regiment has been

Putting Horns on a Viper.

The ''painted-sparroW" trick by which
simple people are inveigled into buying
a worthless bird in the belief that they
are purchasing a rare foreign songstef,
is we'll known. 1t is, perhaps, the most
nagrant example practised in this coun-
try of the art of preparing animals for
sale, so that they may appear other
than they are. Strange stories are also
told of the miSdirected ingenuity-some-
times accompanied by cruelty-employ-
ed in taking animals for exhibition, IN
order to deceive the judges and secure
for the birds or beasts exhibited prizes
TO which, on their merits, they would not
be entitled But all stories of faxed
birds dogs and cats fade into lnslgnln-
canoe when compared with the sublime
audacity of the genius who fitted one OF
the cerastes vipers, now in the reptile
house of the Geological Gardens, Reg
ents Park, with a pair Of artificial
horns"
1t is well known that in the males
and also in some females-of this deadly
African snake. there is, a little above
the eye, a hornlike process covered with
scales. which accounts for their popu-
lar name of horned Vipers. Pre-
sumahlv. native collectors obtain q
higher price for these reptiles when the
horns" are present than is paid by the
dealers for specimens without these
adornments; for the story is current
that art has often covered the deficien-
cies Of nature, and supplied horns TO
reptiles which would otherwise have
been hornless One Of the horned vipers
now in the Geological Gardens shows
that there is some foundation for the
tale. Two small spines-perhaps those
Of a. hedgehog or the tips of porcupine
auills-have been deftly inserted in the
Skin of the VenOmouS reptile IN the place
where the true horns" ought to be. The
fraud must have been attended with
considerable danger TO the perpetrator.
1t could have been no easy matter to
hold a venomous snake to make two IN
cisions in the skin, and to insert the
spines therein. 1t was probably done
while the neck of the viper was held
between the index finger and thumb OF
the left hand, thus leaving the right
hand free for the insertion of the splnes.
Directly the attention of the visitor IS
drawn to the fact by the keeper OF the
raptiIe-house, the difference between the
true and the false horns" is so startling
that one is surprised that the fraud es-
caped detection for a moment. AS may
be seen from other specimens III the
same case. the true horns harmonic
with the coloring of the scales of the
/ head. and bend backwards in a gentle
curve; while the false ones show dark
/ and light bands, stand up almost YER
| tically from the head, and slope slightly
outward from base to tip. 1t IS Sald
that such frauds are by no means rare.
This. however, is probably the first IN
| stance Of q cerastes viper fitted with
false horns" having found its way into
rho geological collection OF a learned So
! ciety.-London Standard.

Shakespeare Improved.

I once had occasion to visit a small
country town called Kapunda, in South
Australia, and passing the evening at
the local hall witnessed an amusing
incident.
A strolling company was exhibiting
at the town, and had chosen Mac
beth from their repertoire to astonish
the natives.
In a portion Of the play where Mac
beth enters, the Shakespearean lines
read: a drum! A drum! Macbeth
doth GOMEZ" But, unfortunately, the
company did not possess "a drum, and,
in consequence had to replace it with a
substitute.
They were equal to the occasion,
however, and when the eventful time
came the tragedian sang out with gusto:
a trumpet! \ trumpet, Macbeth doth
stump it!"-LOndon FREELY.
