THE DEAD POET.

His was the love OF art and song
And we'll he loved the flowery way;
Yet great his wrath at prospered wrong;
When evil triumphed day by day
Then plunged he in the fray.
And when brave innocence went down
Then did the vanquished find a. friend.
With him went justice through the town;
No toeman ever saw him bend;
He scorn for scorn could send.
Men said his heritage was lost;
For, born to gentler use, his youth
Was wasted in rude strife; the cost
Too great, they deemed, athough,i in sooth,
Through him men learned OF truth.
So were his songs but brief and few;
Yet of some lives they were part,
And on some souls they fell like dew;
Dead-now men say he gave to art
Ths epic of the heart
From Poems and Inscriptions by Rich
ard Watson Glider.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED.

Contains Alum and Rock, Declare II
Dangerous to Health and Dump II Into
the River.
The New York papers report that
the Health Department Of that city
has seized as dangerous to health near
ly three tons Of cheap mixtures sold for
baking powders and dumped them into
the otfal scow to be destroyed. The
stun was found on sale at q number Of
department stores. IN all cases the
cans We're broken open, the powder
mixed with sand and carted out to sea.
The report OF the analysis OF the Health
Department stated that 1t was IAN
alum baking powder containing alum
and puly erized rock.
The different health authorities seem
to have different ways of depressing
the sale Of bad baking powders. In
England they have prosecuted the gro
GERS under the general law and broken
up the traffic. In Missouri the sale Of
alum baking powder is actually pro-
hlbited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stun and cast
1t into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly eff
fective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at low price, ten to TWEEN
ty cents a pound or with some prize.

Consumers can protect themselves by
buying only high-grade baking powder

take something else as Just as good"
or our own brand" for the trials
show that the grocer himself is often
deceived by INSCRIPTIONS makers and
is selling an alum powder without
knowing it.

the market; let the housekeeper insist

encouragement Productive Of Good Work
Perhaps there Is nothing else SO
productive of cheerful helpful service
as the expression Of approval or
praise of work wei done, and yet there
is nothing so grudgingly, so meagrely
given by employers. Many of them
seem to think that commentator Is
demoralizing. and that the voicing OF
appreciation will lead to listlessness
and the withdrawal of energy and in
terest. This evinces but poor knowl-
edge of human nature, which Is al
ways hungering for appreciation; but
how mistaken such views are is shown
by the loyal and unstinted service
given to those large-minded men who
treat their employees as members OF q
family committed to their care.-Suc-
