A Famous Old House.

The house of Walter Baker & Co., whose
manufactures Of cocoa and chocolate have
become familiar In the mouth as household
words, was established one hundred and
twenty-one years ago q7SO) on the Neponset
River In the old town of Dorchester, a sub
urb Of Boston. From the little wooden mill,
by the rude bridge that arched the flood, 7
where the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial estab-
lishment Of the kind in the world. 1t might
be said that, while other manufacturers
come and go, Walter Baker & Co. go on
forever.
What is the secret of their great success?
1t is very simple one. They have won anG
held the confidence of the great and con-
stantly increasing body of consumers by al
ways maintaining the highest standard in
the quality of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the lowest
price for which unadulterated articles Of
good quality can be put upon the market
Ihey welcome honest competition; but they
feel justified in denouncng in the strongest
terms the fraudulent methods by which in
ferior preparations are palmed off on GUS
toners who ask for and suppose they are
getting the genuine articles. The best gro
GERS refuse to handle such goods, not alone
for the reason that, in the long run, it
doesn't pay 10 do it, but because their sense
Of fair dealing will net permit them to aid
in the sale of goods that defraud their GUS
toners and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package Of the goods made by the
Walter Baker Company bears the we'll
known trademark, LA Belle Chocolatiere,
and their place Of manufacture Dorchester,
Mass" Housekeepers are advised to exam
Inc their purchases and make sure that 9th
er goods have not been substituted.

POWDER.
What Happened to the Man Who
Found il Out

Found it Out.
1t occurred to an alchemist one day
that it would be fine thing to take
sulphur, saltpeter and dried toads,
pound them all to powder and sub
lime them together in an alembic,
which he carefully luted and set or
the furnace to heat. He poked up the
fire and waited around, thinking what
he would do with all his money if this
should turn out to be the powder of
reduction that would turn base metals
into gold, when, bang! went the
alembic and the windows blew out,
and the door ripped off it's hinges and
fell down, blam! The alchemist scuf-
fed out from under the ruins of the
furnace, shook red-hot coal or two
out Of his shoe and the ashes off him
self, and wondered what had struck
him. He tried it again and again, and
each time with the same result; and
then it dawned upon him that he had
discovered a fair article of blasting
powder Since then about all that has
been done to his recipe has been to
coal, say that of willow twigs, instead
of toasted toads.
Little did the old alchemist dream
what potency was in that powder of
reduction For such it is. Although
it never yet has turned lead into gold
by it's mere touch, yet when small
round piece of lead is put with the
1n7s int hn Of
workmanship, and not gold only, but
all manner of goods and chattels,
houses and lands, messuages, ease
ments and Entertainments, even mems
souls and bodies. Lay down the book
for moment and bethink you what
this powder par excellence, this
powder of powders, has brought
red in that alembic. How has it put
down the mighty from their seat, and
exalted them that are Of low degree!
How has it been the helper of r.en
that struggled for their country's free
dom, believing that they had the right,
God-given and Unborn, to govern their
own affairs, and not to be ruled from
beyond the sea, a glorious doctrine
when the time is 1776, and the sea the
Atlantic, contemplate and rebellious
when the time is 1901, and the sea the
Pacific! This powder asks no ques-
tons as to right or wrong. 1t propels
with equal violence the bullet against
the breast of him that fights the for
eign tyrant and him that resists the
benevolent assimilator. Harvey
Sutherland in Ainslee's.

Western Canada's December Weather
Equal to that of May in Mime
sofa.
To the Editor-Thomas Regain and
G.. Collins, Of Eden Valley, Mimi, went
out to Western Canada last December
as delegates, to look over the grazing
and grain lands that are being offered
at such low prices and reasonable
terms. This is what they say:
"We arrived in Calgary about the
Goth December, and although we had
left winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point, quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of WIN
ter to be seen, and the climate was
really splendid. Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out, in prime con-
dition, with plenty Of feed on the prai-
RE, and really better than that of ours
stabbed in the South. We are Impress
ed with this country as one of the
finest mixed farming countries we have
ever seen. The immense tracts of fer
tile lands well sheltered and abundant
Iy watered leave nothing to be desired.
= L0dV1uS A1UCILd, we ICIuA lieu cast
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point, and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples Of
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing twenty-five bushels, oats sixty
bushels. Roots were also good speci-
mems. From what we have seen, we
have decided to throw in our lot with
the Yorktoners-satisfe that this part
Of the country will furnish good OPP
portunities for any one anxious to make
the best of a really good country. Any
agent Of the Canadian government,
whose advertisement appears else
where in the columns of your paper,
will give you full particulars Of the
new districts being opened out this
year in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly, OLD READER.

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR.


Successful Experiments with the Birds by
the French Army and Navy.
The French army has interested it.
self of late in the question of using
carrier or homing pigeons on recon-
noissance duty with very satisfactory
results. In the experiments the pig
cons assigned to the patrols are car
ried in baskets on the backs of the cav
alrymen, as the infantryman carries
his knapsack. Inside the basket are
tubes made of wickerwork lined with
horse hair paddings, in which the pig
cons are placed. 1t was found that
without the tubes long trot would
render the birds unfit for service, and
when the tubes were made of tin the
back Of the bird was seriously chafed.
The tube makes the bird hold his wings
and feet close to his body. OF course,
after long confinement in this cramped
position. he gets very stiff, to avoid
which IL bag Of light open-mesh mate
rial Is carried along in the basket in
which the bird is placed at night, and
whenever the column halts or rests.
The bag is also used when giving the
animals food and drink In this way
they may be kept in good condition for
at least a week
The pigeons used in this work are
taken from any available army station
and placed before the ride in the port
able pigeon houses or in a special
wagon skilfully arranged to prevent
the birds from experiencing any shocks
or conclusions on the road. The birds
are trained to return to their own port
able houses, even though the latter
may have changed location since they
left 1t.
The messages sent by the patrols are
tied to one of the tail feathers Twelve
men are detailed in the army each year
to learn the methods for training car
rier pigeons in all their details.
During the last fleet maneuvers on
the west coast of France ia pigeons
were let loose from the Iphigenie at
7.30 a. m. and by 9 a. m. all but two
had arrived at their home station in
Rennes, and these tive arrived later.
SiXty-four pigeons were released on
the cruiser BruiX and all arrived safely
at their destination The thunder of
the guns did not affect the pigeons in
the least, showing that they can be
used in the midst of an action.

The closing stage of the Russo-Tur-
kish campaign Of 1877-7S was marked
by the following curious incidents in
though natural phenomenon. During
the weeks that intervened between
the signing of the treaty of San Ste
fano and the meeting Of the Berlin
congress, the Russian troops were en-
camped in front of Constantinople,
which they anticipated entering in
triumph Immediately. One day, how
ever, looking in the direction of the
Black sea, there appeared in the sky
q marvellous "fata morgana," cOun-
terfeiting Notifications. What were
they? Certainly not those which the
Turks had hastily raised to protect the
capital. The mystery was solved by
an officer who knew the place we'll
pronouncing the mirage to reflect the
still ruined remains of the fortifica-
tions of Sebastopol; and as these
were about $50 miles distant the ex-
traordinary nature of the refraction
may be imagined. The phenomenon,
however, was received by the super
stitions Russian soldiers as an evil
portent for Sebastopol reminded Off
GERS and men of British hostility, and
it was known to all that British
statesmen were now doing their ut
most TO override the provisions to,
San Stefano, in order to prevent Rus
sian occupation of Constantinople.
Neither was tho presentiment of com
ing disappointment falsified, for as the
mirage faded from the sky a dull
booming noise was heard to seaward.
II was the guns of the British feet
saluting the forts in the Dardanelles,
and proving that the words of the fa-
NOUS lingo song, Russians shall not
have Constantinople," were no empty
beast.

After careful and patient investiga.
ton, the Historical Committee of the
Society of California Pioneers has
learned that January 24, 1913, was the
exact date of the discovery of gold in
California by James w. Marshall. The
gold was first found in the rocky bed
of the tailrace of the Sutter sawmilI ut
Coloma, on the south fork of the
American River. Marshall himself

made three or four differing state
ments of the date. The committee was
unanimous in its decision.
