IMPURE BAKING POWDER
SEIZED.
The New York BOARD of Health Find
1t Contains Alum and Rock
Declare 1t Dangerous TO
Health nnd Dump IL In
to the River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department OF that city
has seized as dangerous TO health
nearly two tons OF cheapmiNtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the otial scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found IN q
Sixth ave. department store. The
report of the analysis Of the Health
Department stated that it was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of repress
ing the sale of bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic, IN Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stuff and cast
it into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly ef-
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
ly offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents n pound, or with some prize, as
a temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking pow
der OF established name and reputa-
ti6n. DO not be tempted by the grocer
to take something else as lust as
good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS maxi
ers and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right, and
not be induced to risk the life of the
family for an imaginary saving of
few cents.

Young Victor Emmanuel is now the
subject of anarchist attention. There
Is plot among the anarchists to kill
him, and consequently his plans as to
visits in certain parts of his king
dom have had to be altered. Italy
has furnished more anarchists, so far
as has been revealed, than any other
single country, but their activity has
been chiefly in other nations. The
present king of Italy is popular with
the masses of his countrymen, but so
was his father, Humbert. but this cir
cumstance did not save him from as

American beet sugar makers pro-
duced 1882, 500 pounds of sugar in
1901, against 33,351 $50 pounds in 1900,
an increase of 44,5s0,94O pounds, or
considerably more than 100 per cent.
But owing to low prices the profits
were smaller last year than ever be-
fore. Sugar producers everywhere

Miss Talmage, Washington. DR.. Tai
mage was in poor health when he left

DR.. Talmage studied law at the University

probably feeling the inspiration himself,
he entered the New Brunswick Seminary
of Theology. His first pastorate was that
of the Reformed church of Belleville, y. j.,

Syracuse. n. Y. where his congregation
was unusually critical and cultured. Here
1t was that Talmage's genius began to as
sert itself most effectively. Yet he served
an apprenticeship of seven years before he
was called to Brooklyn. Central Presby-
terrain church of that place. whose member
ship had greatly dwindled, made the young
divine an offer. He accepted, and within u
few months his success had become so eX-
traordbary that plans for new tabernacle
were on foot. In 1870 the first Brooklyn
tabernacle was built, but fire destroyed IT,
and twice again visited this same flock.
Made His Church Famous.
DR.. Talmage's fame had become so widely
recognized and his preaching in such de-
mand that the Brooklyn parish also had
won a name through its pastor. 1t was
consequently rich and powerful! New tab
ernacleS arose in the ashes of the OLD and
nothing appeared to opstruct the minis
ter's rapid rise. The quarter century cele-
bration held in May, 1894 at Brooklyn tab
ernacle is we'll remembered. DR.. Talmage
was then in the zenith Of his renown. Soon
after that he, in a measure, retired from
active ministerial duties. He Travelled
much, lectured a great deal and was in al
most constant demand. He was a mag
nidcent lecturer. Some of his flights of
oratory are remembered as being of sur
passing impresstVeness and picturesque
ness. He drew lessons from erythng,
He talked to a purpose, but at the same
time he garnished his sentences with
beauty, and his voice; appearance and fire
combined to enthrall and uplift the nearer.
His Writings.
Among his writings were the following:
Crumbs Swept Up" 1870; four volumes of
sermons, 1S72-1S75; denominations of Mod
ern Society,"" 1872; "Old Wells Dug Out"
1874; Sports That Kill" 1875; Might Sides
of City Life" 1878; THE Brooklyn Taber-
nacle, a Collection of 104 Sermons" 1884;
1.-The Marriage Ring" 1886. DR.. Talmage
supplemented his clerical duties by editing
the Christian at Work from 1873 to 1876; the
Advance, of Chicago, IN 1877 and 1878, and
more recently Frank Leslie's Sunday Mag
