Advocate Light Branch Roads.

The resolutions adopted by the In
ternational Railway Congress at Wash
ington commend light railways, or
branch roads. to the careful attention
of public authorities. The report says:
Their construction makes it posi-
BILE to encourage the progress and de-
velopment of districts which have pre-
viously remained in the background.
and 1t is accordingly not only the in
tent but the duty of the governments
to assist them. 1t is desirable, there.
fore, not to adhere to old types and
old methods of construction, operation
and regulation, but to introduce every
facility possible. adaptable to local
needs and available resources.
"It is also desirable that state gov
eminent and local authorities should
accord to light railways, either under
the form of subsidies, relaxation of re-
quirements or other methods of assist
ance, the support which they need for
construction and for operation, SO that
all parts of the country be adequately
served"
The congress expressed the wish
that the present tendency Of legisla-
ton to establish more liberal regula-
lions may become more general and
efforts of the management to equip
their light traffic lines with more
economical organization. which prom
Use to give remarkable results, be con-
tinued"

There are three entirely different

from the standpoint OF health. to
know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
u Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind Of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution product is obtained
which is alum. Alum ic cheap; costs
about two cents pound. and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to 25c. pound.
e., Bone-Acid. or Phosphate, is the
basis OF phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer of phosphate powder. The U.
S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description. but the follow
ing extract is enough:
DuTueu DOues, dIlef DelnB ground,

riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
Ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
go Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the Juice
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boil
ed with water. and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. It differs in
no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to so cents a pound.
Such are the facts. and every one,
careful of the health of the family,

those selling from 20 to 80 cents OF
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to SO

The Citizen
Soldier of
Our Armies

So little did some appreciate the
real character of the citizen soldier
that when the civil war ended there
that the country would be flooded
with great hordes of idlers or worse,
whom the life of the camp had unfit
ted for the ways of orderly industry.
These evil prophecies were not full
filed.
In the light of what we have learned
but needed not to have been taught of
the character of the citizen soldier we
may see clearly enough. that these pre-
dictions were wholly unwarranted.
The upbuilders of the nation in its in
fancy. the thriftiest and most progress
sive men in the thirteen original
states, were largely drawn from the
citizen army of the revolution. More
over, the musket bearers of the revo-
luton became the pioneers in the
west, the state makers of the wilder
ness beyond the Alleghanies.
1t was not due to any partially that
every member save one of Washing
toms first cabinet was his comrade in
arms. The ability of the country had
been enlisted in the great struggle for
national independence, and the CONT
mental army was therefore the best
source from which the first President
could draw aid and counsel in laying
the foundations of the federal govern
ment. Thus have we seen that the
spirit which distinguishes a citizen
army, inspiring the soldier in thu be-
~ ming and throughout, finds it's m
pest and joyfulest expression al he
end of the conflict in converting the
energy of swords into that of plow-
shares and reaping in paths of peace
the harvest of devotion in fields of
var.
union armies.
It was observed, with some express
isson of establishment, by Gen. Grant
that whatever kind of mechanical
skill was required for the varied works

every class and of the highest degree

construction. The most varied and
unusual skill could always be found in
abundance among the private soldiers.
Here again we learn that all i'm
pcrtant lesson that the defender of
the country was citizen before he
wns soldier, and not the less ar eff
cient fighting man for that. That he
was SO good citizen. indeed, is the
reason why he made so good a soldier

terward distinguished themselves in

Have All a Nations Gratitude.
1t has been said that republics are
ungrateful. but that is not true of the
people who live in this one. The old
remember too well, and the young
have learned to know the grandeur of
the struggle that maintained the in
tegrity of the nation. The emblem of
the Grand Army has come to be sa-
cred, and the tattered flags of 81 fill
the eyes with tears.
The soldiers of the great war
are growing old, and the sentiment of
pity has no place in the observance
of Memorial day. Rather do we glory
in the strength that after forty years
on the march of life still revivifies
the footsteps of the veterans as they
touch elbows once more and hear the
music of the old war songs. Rather
do we thrill with pride at the many
stalwart figures that carry their years
as lightly as if the spirit of patriotism
had proved in some sort a fountain
of youth. Rather do we envy those
men that they had share in one of
the hottest and-to the vision of to-
day-the most romantic war the world
has ever seen.

The past arises before me, as it
were, like a dream. Again we are in
the great struggle for national life.
We hear the sounds of preparation
the music of boisterous drums-the
silver voices of heroic bugles.
We see thousands of assemblages,
and hear the appeals of orators; we
see the pale cheeks of women, and
the flushed faces of men; and in those
assemblages we see all the dead
whose dust we have covered with
flowers. We lose sight of them no
more.
We are with them when they enlist
in the great army of freedom. We
see them part with those they love.
Some are walking for the last time in
quiet, woody places, with the maidens
they adore. We hear the whisperings
and the sweet VOWS of eternal love as
they lingeringly part forever. Others
are bending over cradles, kissing
babes that are asleep.
We see them all as they march
proudly away under the Haunting
flags, keeping time to the grand, wild
music of war-marching down the
streets of the great cities-through
the towns and across the prairies-
down to the fields of glory, to do ana
to die for the eternal right.

CHAPTER XIV.

LATTE. after the departure OF Gen.

ace OF tarryfng an hour or so longer,
although he exchanged scarcely half
dozen words with Mademoiselle &c
Cazeneau. as they, with Lazalie and
Harold Stewart. sat on the broad YER

He was unaccountably anxious and
depressed; there seemed to be some
thing in the air about him that set
his nerves aquiver. and filed him with
strange feelings.
1t was after three o'clock when,
with reluctance of which his manner
gave no hint, LATTE rose and signi-
ned that he must be going.
"Will you not come again soon"
asked Lazalie, new wistfulness

extended his hand to her.

She spoke impulsively, In half

was now laid over the back of the
brown one.
Her look and words, the faint pres

through his veins.

She looked startled, but the glad
light showing in her eyes was assur

passionate pleading.
"Adieu, now" he whispered, bend

The styles of home decorations have

years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau

vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better ef-
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
OF paint, or of kalsomine, or of Ala

to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering

The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe'
drals and churches. have a perma
nency and an art of which wall paper
is but a cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach OF. the every
