CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON-
FISOATED IN NEW YORK

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number OF
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped 1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place OF whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use
it. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make a chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten to
twenty cents for a pound can, or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass. or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der Of established name and charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

came Denzil Younge.

Miss Trevanion, steadily, disdaining to

or pretended ignorance
Then you are going to marry him

Then, very abruptly, Denzil asked:

"of course, am happy" she an
swered, with a faint accession of color

question? Do l look unhappy"

"your face seems changed to me- it
does not wear it's old expression; and
just now, as l was passing by the viii

--"and saw you. You we're kneeling

"And So" observed Mildred pettish-
ly, giving no heed to his question, "be-
cause one happens to feel little fret
ted about some trifling matter, and
cries few silly tears, one is to be con-
sidered in the lowest depths OF des-
pair? 1t is absurd. will not listen to
such folly; Lord Lyndon, am sure,
would not wish me to do SO, and"
"And as he is everything to you now,
while and all the rest OF the world
count nothing" interrupted Denzil,
bitterly-"is that so? Do you expect
me to believe that? Because, If you
do, I tell you plainly. that do not be-
lieve it, and never shall. He is UNI

an idea in common with you. Oh,

Mildred, what do you mean?" he
exclaimed.
THE day after tomorrow you shall
have the fifteen thousand pounds, she
said; land II am engaged to be mar
ried TO Lord Lyndon"
Her mother arose, flushed and tri-
umphant- Here indeed was a match
worthy Of her darling All recollec-
ton OF the relief to be gained through
the promised money faded in COMPARE
son with this wonderful piece of news.
At last Mildred had made her choice,
and It was most wise one.
'Oh, Mildred, is 1t true? How glad
ami" she began. " think"
But the girl put up her hands to her
ears and recoiled from her touch.
Not now-not now!" she exclaimed
almost roughly.
How could she endure congratulate
tons and good wishes about what
seemed to her the cruelest event in all
her life? How submit to question:
ings and kindly probings, when she
AVN mo- uOctL was ltdklHB Dultly
in such a case congratulations were a
mockery.
She left them, and hurrying to her
own room, strove hard to quiet the
storm that ragged within her; while
they, remaining behind, asked each
other in whispers how 1t had all hap
pened, and half feared to believe the
welcome news was true.
But Lady Caroline's heart smote her
when she remembered the look in
Mildreds eyes when they had met hers
the great unhappy light that had
shone in them, revealing SO much that
she would gladly have Kept untold.
But the mothers eyes had seen it.,
and 50 she followed Mildred to her
room, only to find the poor child pac-
ing up and down with restless, fever
ish hands and face grown old with
passionate care. She stopped as her
mother entered, signing heavily. Lady
Caroline stretched out her hands.
Mildred, tell me what it is" she
entreated, wistfully, with sorrowful,
longing sympathy in her tone. Am
not your mother?'
And Mildred cried, ooh, motherl"
and, falling on her knees, with arms
round. the mothers waist, and eyes
hidden, sobbed little of her grief
away.
All in vain. The next morning
Drought letter from Lady Eagleton's
solicitor, containing the news of her
ladyship's sudden death, and stating
that, on her will being opened, 1t was
discovered that she had bequeathed to
her beautiful and well-beloved grand
niece, Mildred Trevanion," the sum of
thirty-nve thousand pounds.

Whenever | find myself particularly
perplexed on any point | look to see
what Froude has to say about it. I

illusions; and the more positive he
becomes the safer l feel in adopting
