THE NEW LAW.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum
in Food Articles.

The law enacted by the last legisla-
ture. a copy OF which was recently
published in our columns, and which
prohibits the manufacture or sale of
any article intended for food, or to be
used in the preparation of food, which
contains alum, arsenic, ammonia, etc.,
places Missouri at the head of the
states in the matter of sanitary legis-
ton.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England.
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota. Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky an
several other states. direct legislation
in reference to the sale of alum baking
powders has also been effected. In
several of these states their sale is
prohibited unless they are branded to
show that they contain alum, and in
the District of Columbia, under the
laws of Congress, the sale of bread
containing alum has been made IL
legal.
Following are the names of some OF
the brands of baking powder sold in
this state which are shown by recent
analysis to contain alum. Housekeep-
ers and grocers should cut the list out
and keep it for reference:

times, however, the younger dog grew tired of the comparative discomfort of the hearth rug. He would then make believe" that there was an enemy out side the window Springing to his feet, he would rush, with a growl, across the room, and would then go off into shouts of defiant barking. The old Dachs, startled, would jump out of the chair to see what it was all about: whereupon her ungallant junior would wheel around and gain the cosey nook with a run Etiquette forbade the elder, though de- frauded, to turn the other dog out. Was not the whole scene carefully planned by the younger hound? Who can possibly say that it was not the result of bona fide reasoning? The thing hap pened over and oyer again, and the owner was obliged to account It ruse-- an ignoble ruse!
 l see just the same sort of trick go- ing on between the DaXies I have now under observation. It is clearly against their notions of etiquette for one of them to interfere at a burrow that the other has begpn to work. Waldi is much the cieverest at eXcavating, but three days ago it was Nelo who was busy with a mole hill, under which was the little black quarry. Waldi sprang on a wall close by, and sent forth ear pierc- ing shrieks. Nello left his half made tunnel to see what was the matter, and instantly Waldi whisked round and dashed into the hole. Well, one day, later-that is, the day before yesterday T saw the pup execute exactly the same manoeuvre. There could be no mistake about it. Waldi was half bur jed and scooping out the earth with those clever hands of hers from most seductive burrow. Nello yelled at the top of his voice that the Alps were fal- ling, or that all the hereditary enemies of DaXies were upon us, the precise im- port may not have quite caught, but I could not be mistaken as to the tones of rage, fear and surprise (simulated). Waldi disinterred herself in a jiffy, and sniffed the air-'thinking with her nose,' in Kiplingesque phrase-and Nel- To shot himself down the tunnel where she had been busy

The Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 20.-It was a day of violent fluctuations and great specula- tive excitement upon the stock ex- change The movement of prices was
 so feverish and uncertain that the dis position among professional operators was general to close up accounts with the day. As consequence net charges are astonishingly small considering the wide vibration during the day Tn
 only a few instances do they exceed
 fractions and though the majority of
 stocks are lower, there is fair sprink-
 ling of gains. There was a time in
 the morning when a long list of special
 ties had advanced between 1 1-2 and 3
 points and during the afternoon they
 fell very generally to as much below
 last nights level, A range of between
 3 and s points was traversed during the day by the following industrial stocks: Continental Tobacco, Smelling preferred, Colorado Fuel, Consolidated Gas Federal Steel Manhattan, Peo- ple's Gas, Sugar Tobacco, Metropolitan Street Railway Tennessee Coal and Brooklyn Transit. The railroad stocks did not move nearly so widely as a rule, but an extreme range of between 1M and "A was traversed by St. Paul, Rock Island, Burlington Northwest ern, Great Western pref, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, ST. Paul and Duluth, Chicago Traction, Great Northern pref, Reading 1st pref, and Lackawanna. The index of the market all day was Brooklyn Transit, the dealings in which were on an enormous scale With total capitalization of 430O00 shares, to-days dealings in this stock footed up 2S5, 175. It advanced 2% af- ter the opening, fell 71s, to a new low level at 75A and then retraced it's course, rising eight points to sSH and closing at the high level of the morn- ing. The whole market followed in it's wake in general way, though it's er- ratic fluctuations were impossible to follow at all times The bears broke down the gains which had been built up in the morning with apparently lit- tie effort and dislodged some very heavy offerings on the decline from holders who had vainly hoped that the fall in prices had come to an end. There was large selling through com mission houses and the flood of indus trials poured upon the market was said to be due to the calling of some large leans in which three stocks figured as collateral and which had to be sold to liquidate the loans U. S. Milling which sold yesterday at 56, sold to-day at 24 after first selling at 25. an ex- treme decline of 32 points The prefer red stock, after selling yesterday at 75, sold to-day at 50 decline of 25 points The closing quotations for these stocks were for the common 20025, and for the preferred 40@5O. There was no import ant development to-day in the money situa tion
 Foreign exchange was somewhat easier, more notably so on Paris and | Berlin than on London. With call | money ruling at per cent. in New | York, however, sterling exchange Is | still 11a cents in the pound above the | level at which gold imports began last | year

ABEL MITCHELL'S WILL.

Abel Mitchell called to his typewriter
 ''You may g., Miss Morris" he said, He did not look up from the papers be- fore him.
 The young woman turned to the clock with little start of surprise. Ii was only 4:S0 But she quietly put night left the room
 Abel listened to the departing rustic of her skirts with a thoughtful expres- sion. There was a sensible girl. A girl who never grated on his feelings. A girl who asked no useless questions She had reached an age of discretion, If Jim was determined to marry poor girl why couldn't he have taken one like Emma Morris?
 Abel opened heavy envelope and drew forth folded paper.
 Jim never was confidential with me- he grumbled. Perhaps I didn't invite his confidence. I don't know. Now he has disobeyed my direct com, mand That can't be overlooked When he told me about this girl I said wait. How long?' he asked Until you reach years of discretion, I cried, and turned I married at 21. Yes. and ran away, too. But it was different with me. My father had nothing to give me. I was quite independent. He was glad to have me shift for myself. Jim's father is a rich man. Jims father has given him dollars where my father begrudged me pennies. Jim owes me filial obe- dience. He has disobeyed me to his bitter cost.
 He unfolded the paper that he had taken from the envelope and ran his keen gray eye down the closely written lines
 He. has given up his father for a pretty face" he murmured. Let him stand by the consequences. Who is she? What is she? It matters not. No doubt they trapped him into this marriage. "A rich mans son. they chuckled. But they'll find they're fooled Father he said, I am to be married tomorrow night Will you come to the wedding?' I turned on my heel Then I looked back. You know the price you pay? I cried. Yes, father he said, with his head high up.T know. Good by and God bless you He asked q blessing on me! Ha, ha. ha; that's too rich. But he'll get evil for good this time. I'll cut him off with a dollar. Let him sup on herbs for a while. That'll take the veneer from loves young dream. I'll draw up a new will at home tonight and have it witnessed before I sleep. And to let him know what his foolish fancy has cost him Pll write him letter-a letter he can show to his new relatives. That's thc thing-a letter.
 He bent down with his head upon his hand and his eyes on the paper. A rustic of skirts in the doorway drew his attention. He did not look up It was a way he had
 "Ah, Miss Morris" he said, back again?" He had quite forgotten that he sent her home.
 The young girl in the doorway did not answer. Her bright eyes were fixed upon the old man. She expected him to look up. If he had done so he would have seen a charming vision. She was very pretty girl-dainty and neat from the tip of her new hat to the tips of her new shoes. But he did not look up.
