ATES CANAEIES

It seemed miraculous that any one
should have escaped, for each car falling
with the engine bounded from it and
completely collapsed after striking the
rocks at the foot OF the treste.
All the express in the express car was
practically destroyed, except six crates
full of canary birds. None of the birds

All unofficial opinions that have
been ascertained agree in giving only
one cause for the wreck-the high
speed of the train on the sharp curve.
No. 81 was running about an hour
behind time; it is thought that the
engineer being unfamiliar with the
road. did not take into consideration
the danger Of coming on the curve
with such great velocity.
The mail bags in all the mail ears were
torn open and the letters and packages
were scattered but it is beecved none Is

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
rs MADE.

A recent seizure of lot Of CHEAP"
baking powders by the authorities of
neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
were taken and analyzed. The official
report of the analysis showed the stuff
to be "alum powders" composed chiefly
of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized
rock. The powders were declared dan
gerous to health and several thousand
pounds were coniscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called "cheap" baking powders.
They are all found, when analysed, to
contain large percentages Of alum and
sulphuric acid to which are added vari-
Gus sorts. of filling matter sometimes
both Injurious and nasty
The high class, cream of tartar bak-
ing powders are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
food better and more healthful.

Peterborough, England, makes enough

Ing yards. which have grown up in
Great number around the ancient city
In the last 20 years, turn out 500 900, 900
bricks annually. AS the length Of a
brick is about eight inches, then, if
Peterborough's annual output were laid
out in single line, it would stretch over
100000 miles. The brick industry has
revolutionized the trade Of Peterbor-
ough. Such is the wealth Of clay and
the profit to be drawn from it that one
part Of the brick-making district has
been fifty named ''Klondike." It lies in
beds of enormous area and depth, and
some of the experts say they could go on
taking out easily accessible clay for the
next century without taking thought as
to where the next supply of the mate

Walter Camp, the athletic adviser Of
Yale university, was recently entertain

friends with experiences of his own, says
the New York Tribune.
He told of dinner where . charming
young woman was seated next to an ex-

her best to interest him, but had found
it necessary to shout out each remark
unto the third and fourth narration be-
fore the old man could catch the point.
So the time dragged aong, till the din
ner was waning and the fruit was passed.
The young woman determined to make
a final effort at being agreeable, SO she
threw her voice into saying:
do you like bananas!"
"How's that?" asked her neighbor, in
surprised tone.

"Wel, my dear" he replied, so long
