was worthy of discussion, and although
ne had seen them both he merely COM
mitted himself to the assertion that
they We're first rate without any
qualifications. Evidently he knew his
companion well, for he talked to her in
brotherly sort of way about the fool
ishness of injuring her health by going
out to the theater night after night or
70 dancing parties. She said that she
got lots of sleep because she did not get
up until late, and then she said:

Here was his opportunity. Without

The young woman looked puzzled,
That's lovely, isn't it?
Now, the cable is operated in such

you think of that?
Perfectly lovely!' said the young
woman.
Her escort looked as If this reply did

the little boys profit by what they have
received at the hands of their benefac-
tors. The person who penned the fol-
lowing lines had in mind the jolly little
boys:
Life would be an easy matter
If we didn't have to eat.
If we never had to utter
Wont you pass the bread and butter,
Likewise push along the platter
Full of meat!'
Yes if food We're obsolete
Life would be a jolly treat,
If we didn't shine or shower,
Old or young bout every hour
Have to eat, eat, eat. eat. eat
'Twould be jolly if we didn't have to
eat,
We could save a lot of money,
If we didn't have to eat
Could we cease our busy buying
Baking, broiling, brewing. frying,
Life would then be oh, so sunny
And complete;
And we wouldn't fear to greet
Every grocer in the street
If we didn't--man and woman.
Every hungry, helpless human
Have to eat, eat, eat, eat eat
We'd save money if we didn't have
to eat.
All our worry would be over
If we didn't have to eat.
Would the butcher, baker, grocer
Get our hard-earned dollars? No, sir.
We would then be right in clover
Cool and sweet.
Want and hunger we could cheat,
And we'd get there with both feet,
If we didnit-poor or wealthy,
Halt or nimble, sick or healthy
Have to eat, eat eat, eat. eat,
We could get there if we didn't have
to eat.

A Mi lion Priests.

According to a lecture on Siam deliv
cred recently in London by John Bart
lett, that Asiatic country has more
than its share of priests. The popula.
ton of Siam, he said, amounted tt
about 100000, and curious feature
was the large preponderance of Chi
nese, more especially in Bangkok. The
Chinese practically controlled all thu
trade and commerce of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants
One million of the people were in thu
priesthood. He had Travelled up rivei
through the main territory of Siam fol
a distance of 800 miles, and during the
journey it had been absolutely impossi
BILE to get out of sight of a temple. IL
each temple there were from ten to 3Ol
priests, supported entirely by the PEG
Pile. OF the 100000 priests only 300,
900 were actively engaged. The re
naming 100000 were passing through
the priesthood. Siam was grea
stronghold of Buddhism, but the KIM
vas very tolerant Of other religions.
The Siamese Government pat but LIT
tie restriction on trade, and an ordin
airy foreigner could come and go al
over the kingdom without a passport
The greater part of the trade in Bang
kok-at least 80 per cent. of it-wal
brought there by ships flying the Brit

The great Glasgow dock strike has

The Chicago Tribune says this year
$50, 900 travelling statesmen will lose
their jobs owing to the formation of

will be retained will have their wages
slashed. The drummers are doomed.
The new pugilistic champion is a

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS
Names of Some of the Principal
Brands Sold i'm This Vicinity.

Names of Some of the Principal
Brands Sold in This Vicinity.
The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system Of
food made with alum baking powders
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the eff
feet that such powders render the food
unwholesome, have caused numerous
inquiries for the names of the various
alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports of State Chemist Nicholson of
Nebraska, the city chemist of ST. Louis,
the food commission of Minnesota, or
other reliable authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum.
K. C................... Contains Alum
Jaques Mfg. Co, Chicago.
CALUMET ........-.. Contains Alum
Calumet Baking Powder Co., Chicago
Home Baking Powder Co., San Francisco.

BEEHIVE .......... Contains Alum
Washington Mfg. Co., San Francisco.
BON BON. ............C Contains Alum
Grant Chemical Co., Chicago.
DEFIANCE ......... Contains Alum
Portland Coffee and Spice Co., Portland.
PORTLAND ....... Contains Alum
Beno & Balls. Portland.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up for
the grocer and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers of alum pow.
ders in st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City
Tacoma, San Francisco and elsewhere
The manufacturers, 1t Is said, find their
efforts to market their goods in this
way greatly aided by the ambition OF
the grocer to sell a powder with his
own name upon the label, especially
when the grocer can make an abnor
NAL profit upon it. Many grocers
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing are alum
powders which would be actually con
traband in many section II sold with
out disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES, un
der all kinds of cognomens, and at al
kinds of prices, even as low as five
and ten cents a pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeepel
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at twenty-five cents OF
less per pound are liable to contain
alum, as pure cream Of tartar baking
powders cannot be produced at any
thing like this price.

Mark Twain and General Sherman.
Some man who wants to spoil good
story has raised a direct issue of yerac-
ity between Mark Twain and the late
General William T. Sherman. Mark
Twain, in the published accounts Of his
recent interview with Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria, makes the emperor
offer, after Twain had apologized for
forgetting his German Grafton, to
translate 1t for him from English into
German. General Sherman, on the
other hand, in the diary of his trip to
Austria in 1872, has Francis Joseph
apologizing because he is unable to
speak English.
