IMPURE BAKING POWDER
SEIZED.
The New York Board of Health Find
1t Contains Alum and Rock,
Declare 1t Dangerous to
Health and Dump 1t 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 cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in a
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
1t into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly eff
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
ly offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents a 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-
ton. 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 max
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.

An Illiterate Negro in South Carolina

vice While in an Unconscious Con-

Maj. Perry, the sleeping preach
err of Saluda county, S. c., is at

He lives a dozen miles from a rail-
road and never leaves the immediate
vicinity of his home, so he is known
to few outside that county.
Maj. Perry is mulatto, As years
old. Both he and his wife are litter
ate. When a young man, he says, he
felt call to preach, but disregarded
it. He seldom goes to church and is
not religiously inclined.
About ten years ago, his wife says,
Perry began to preach in his sleep.
Sermons became more frequent, I'M
til he now breaches five or six times
week. Perry goes to bed about s
o'clock and within half an hour be-
gins to preach. He first announces
his text, chapter, verse or verses in
the Bible correctly, after which he
reads the text, always just as it is
in the book. He then Lines" out,
sings a hymn and prays, after which
the sermon begins. Perry's sermon
is declared by whites who have heard
him to be better than the average
negro preacher. 1t is grammatical

DOGS IN RAILWAY CARS.
Increased Comfort for Them in the
Baggage Cars-SmnlI Ones Are
SmugSIed.

"Of course it's against the rules to
carry dogs into the passenger cars"
said a railroad brakeman, according
to the New York Sun, but people
carry them there all the same.
Il don't mean that they lead blood
hounds aboard, and st. Demands,
and that sort of thing, but passen-
gers never send to the baggage car
any dog that they get aboard a car
without its being seen.
AT the same time dogs can be
much more comfortable nowadays,
carried forward, than they used to
be. In old times they used to tie
the dog somewhere in the baggage
car, miserable on his own account,
and in everybody's way, and always
in more or less danger of having a
trunk or valise fall on him.
But in these days there is a great
variety of dog crates, of different
sizes, and different styles; some of
them flat-topped, and some of them
peak-topped, the top sloping down as
the roof of a frame house slopes
down from the ridge pole, the crate
being made this way so that you
can't put anything on top of it.
"Of course you can put food for
the dog in these crates, and there is
carried in them a dish for water,
which can be filled through a tube
that has an opening outside at the
top of the crate, so that you can
give the dog water without opening
the crate at all. Lots of people buy
these crates nowadays, and every
body uses them when they have dogs
to ship any distance, to dog shows
and so on.
Then, of course, you know they
make nowadays dog bags that are
expressly designed to carry dogs
aboard passenger cars without their
being seen. These dog bags are
made of various sizes, though all of
one style, what trunk makers call a
cabin bag, on account of its shape; a
box-shaped body with an only slight
ly sloping, in fact pretty nearly fiat,
top. The bag is shaped like cabin.
This form gives the most room
for the dog inside. And the dog bag
is made with wire grating occupy
ing one entire end, through which

THE EDISON MUTOSCopE
United States Circuit Court Decides
the Patents on the Invention Are
Invalid.

Invalid.
A decision has been handed down
by the United States court of appeals
which decides that the camera of a
defendant mutoscope company is not
an infringement upon that invented
by Thomas A. Edison. The court
holds that Edison did not invent any
new process of the photographing of
moving objects, but rather improved
upon various previous inventions and
ideas, some of which dated back as
far as 1864.
Edison had brought an action
against the microscope company,
claiming that the latter'n camera in
fringed his patent of 1897. The
United States circuit court upheld
the validity of Edison's patents, but
the court of appeals finds otherwise
and dismisses the bill, with costs, and
holds that the cause of action is not
sufficient.
The court cites the fact that Du Cos
in 1864, Marcy in 1882, and Leprince
In 1888 had either patented or pub
lshed in scientific journals a descrip-
ton of processes Of photographing
moving objects. 1t says that by this
decision the Edison company will lose
many thousands of dollars it now re-
ceives in royalties.

ants on Scotch Universities Helped
by Carnegie Fund.

The first annual meeting of the
trustees of the Andrew Carnegie be-
quest of S1O,000,OOO to the Scottish
university was held in London the
other day under the presidency of
Lord Elgin.
The report of the years admins
tration showed that of 5000 applica-
tions the majority had been disal-
lowed. Only 2,441 students were as
sisted, at cost of about $4,000 for
the winter session of 1901-2. The re-
port also said the trustees had ample
proofs that the payment of fees had
proved to be great boon to many
deserving students.
The report further shows that two
fees have already been returned by
assisted students. One of them was
the recipient of an unexpected leg
acy and the other won a scholarship.
Both students expressed pleasure at
the clause permitting the repayment
of fees advanced in their behalf.

the dog gets air when the bag is
closed. Over this end can be secured
a leather flap, made for the purpose,
and of course of the same material
of which the rest of the bag is made,
which makes the bag look alike at
both ends, and like any bag of it's
kind.
'You put that flap down when you
go aboard car, and raise it to give
the doggy air when you get safely
inside. Actresses and others having
pet dogs who travel much carry their
pets in dog bag.
But while, as you see, the means
of carrying dogs safely and comfort
ably in the baggage car, and also the
means of smuggling them aboard the
passenger car, are both now much
improved, plenty of people still
smuggle their pets aboard in the
good old way; under coats, and I'M
der cloaks, and sometimes in shawls
loosely rolled up in straps, and in or
binary bags, and sometimes in paper
boxes.
Zone day recently a nice old lady
came along and got aboard a car
with a dog in a bandboX, holes cut
in the top to give it air. She had the
end of her long cloak over it as she
came along the platform, but it
slipped off as she was stepping up
the steps, and the little doglatina
inside whined as she tilted the bag
little in stepping up. 1t was all
plain as pikestaff, but what could
you do?
There are plenty of people who
couldn't bear, or thinls they couldny,
to have their pets separated from
them. You couldn't say to that
midtlleaged lady, for instance, with
dog no bigger than kitten all Sc
cure in the handbook:
Madame, you'll have to take
that dog to the baggage car could
you?
Hardly. You simply don't see a
dog like that, that's all. You don't
let anybody walk aboard with a
mastiff or a Newfoundland or with
any sort of dog that's visiblS or
that's going to make trouble, but
there are times in this business, as
in every other, when a man is called
upon to use little common sense"
