Good Municipal Government.

Information from various cities Of the country of drastic measures being employed to purify municipal govern ment is likely to create an impression that we are hastening to one of the most advanced stages of corruption. The truth lies in the opposite direction, The people are aroused. and the dispo- sition to have crooked things made straight is approaching a contagion. Within a brief time there have been more and stronger moves in this dlrec- tion than during any like period in our history There is manifest determi- nation to have honesty and economy in the administration of municipal affairs, which, if it be sustained, must bear good fruit. It is not probable that uniformity of municipal laws and reg ulations throughout the country will be established within the life of any of those interested, for there are forty five different states to handle. each diff fering from the others in physical, in dustrial. social and political character istics. But there is the more immedi- ate possibility of compelling a higher degree Of efficiency. integrity and good faith on the part of municipal servants. Detroit Free Press.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
 IS MADE.

A recent seizure of lot of cheap" baking powders by the authorities of a 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 analysed 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 confscated 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- ous 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.

St. Pierre and sotom.

Emperor William compared the dis aster at Martinique to that at Pompeii, but Mme. Jane Dieulafoy, a well-known French writer, maintains that it re sembles much more closely the disas- ter which befell Sodom and Gomorrah.
 Tt is impossible she says, ito read about these two disasters without be- ing struck by their similarity. In both cases the country was admirably fer tile-indeed. a yeritable Garden of Eden: in both cases the sun rose radi- ant, and scarcely was it above the horizon before a stream of fire and rocks was launched into the air and fell upon St Pierre and the two ac- cursed cities; in both cases a column of black smoke arose from the crater and mounted high up into the sky.
 Tt is true that volcanic eruptions all ways present somewhat similar phe- nomena, but 1t is very doubtful if any eruptions ever resembled each other so much as these two.
 Moreover, this similarity is espe- cially interesting, since 1t is a clear proof that the Biblical writers ob- tained their facts from sure sources, and took no pains to distort them - St. Louis Star.

Crossed Deaf Iyrant.

Paul the First of Russia was very deaf and also very tyrannical. One day an aid-de-camp. intending to please him. approached and cried into his ear: "I am glad to see, your majesty, that your hearing is much improved"
 What is that you say?" growled the czar
 Raising his voice the aide-de-camp said: "I am glad that your majesty's s hearing is so much improved.
 An, that's it, eh?" chuckled the czar, and then added Say it once more"
 The aide-de-camp repeated the words, whereupon Paul the First thun- dered: 50 you dare to make fun of me, do you? Just wait awhile"
 Next day the aid-de-eamp was on his way to the mines of Siberia.-St. Louis Star.

Reciprocity With canadn.

Where there are common interests there should be a common country. There is no doubt of the advantages which would aerue alike to the people of Canada and of the United States from unobstrueted commercial rela- tions If the bars to free trade should once be pulled down they would never be again erected, and political union would almost inevitably fellow com mereial union. It is only the repre- sentatives of ofFicialism, and of special interests opposed to the general inter- ests. that obstruet popular inclination toward the tender of reciprocal advan- tages which should naturally result from the inheritance of common lan- guage, a common law aud common heritage of opportunity.-Plil Record.

SERV|AN CLAIMANTS.
Pretenders Who Wish to Live at the
 Belgrade Palace.
Rumor Has It TBat the iuegitimnte Son of King Alexander Is the Latest Addition to
 the List.

Rumor says that little George Obren- ovitch. illegitimate son of the late King Alexander, is pretender to the SerYian throne, but there seems small likelihood that any such wild dream will ever be realized. Putting aside the shadow on the boys birth, Alexander was so un- popular toward the last of his reign that it would be difficult for any son of his to become generally acceptable to the Servians. However, report credits the lad with some few followers, and these ambitious ones, who desire his educa- tion to be that of princeling with pros pects
 But their plans, even in this prepara- tory step. do not carry well; they are not able to obtain for their charge just such instruction as they desire; and they may have to be resigned to the ordinary schooling of the ordinary schoolboy for him. When they en- deavored to get him admitted to a mili- tary school in Servia, general opposition frustrated this plan. Then military institution in Vienna was proposed, then one in Hungary, but Austria offered no warm welcome to the youthful student Russia was willing to place him as can didate in the Russian military academy, but to this his mother made objection, and at last decided to send him to Gotha to receive training in a military institute there. The two most prom inently connected with the agitation to make him claimant of the Serviap

But he has this ad- vantage over the young George Obreno- witch. ayers he was legitimatiZed by his father This second son of Milan had for mother a Mme. Christies. one of the many ladies for whom Milan deserted his wife. the beautiful Queen Natalia.
 One of the elements in favor of con- timed popularity for the present SOW ereign, King Peter Karageorgevitch, is the fact that he has no dearth of possible successors, that the Servians have little cause to fear he will name all upstart as heir to the throne. You remember, one of the grave reasons for dissatisfaction with the murdered Alexander was that he named as heir his wife's brother. an upstart, and an upstart belonging to family exceedingly unpopular because of the unpopularity of it's head, Queen Draga The present king has two sons and a daughter; younger brother, Prince Arsene, who has 11-year-old son; and two male cousins of the Kara georgevitch line. Prince Alexis and Prince Bozidor These latter are sec ond cousins, great-grandsons of Black George" founder of the house. Be- sides. King Peter's relations with Aus tria are of the pleasantest and gives him strength; then as brother-in-law of the Russian Grand Duke Peter and of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, and son-in- law of the prince of Montenegro he has that which luckless Alexander sadly lacked-high connections; connections that doubtless would not look on undis- turbed if he were busted from the throne
 Prince Alexis is said to have been for some time previous to his cousins ac- cession a pretender to the throne. It is gossiped that this prince sued diligently and ardently for the hand of young Chicago heiress. but the heiress' father did not look with friendly eyes upon the gentleman's advances. and without loss of time married his daughter to plain mister
 In addition to the aforementioned coveters of the troubled throne of Seryia. there is prince dwelling in Montenegro that would, so rumor spreads. be willing to assume the bur dens of ruler of Servia His name is Prince Mirako. of Montenegro and he bases his claims on his marriage to Constantinovitch. descendant of the old Servian monarch. But Prince Mirak o dreams of ruling Servian empire rath- CT than simply the present kingdom of Servia, desires the reconstruction of the Servian empire of the middle ages. When one learns that outside the pres ent confines of Servia, there are 5000. .000 Servians. subjects of the emperor of Austria Or the sultan of Turkey, one can get some idea, of the widespread dis turbances that Would ensue if the Mon- | tenegrin prince. and other leaders that dream the same dream. were to set about l the establishment of a government in l cluding all the Servians under one head.
