May Irwin and BAKING Powder


There are two little errors in the ar
tfcle you published the other day about
May Irwin and others. These ladies
could hardly use the baking powder
named, because it is an alum powder,
and they are obliged in order to per-
form their professional duties to keep
In perfect health, and they could not
nor do they employ the powder named
in cooking or baking.
The other is about that Highest
Award claimed to have been given said
baking powder at the Chicago EXPOSE
ton. 1t is a fact that at the Chicago
Worlds Fair the managers excluded
absolutely and totally all alum baking
powders from participation in either
exhibits or awards, because they were
not deemed proper articles for food,
so that it would not have been pos
sible for that baking powder, being
an alum powder to obtain an award
thereat, either highest or otherwise.

Perhaps just pleasantness has not n

heart that. knowing its own bitterness,

its tongue about its own aches and
pains II has certain moral value that
the world cannot afford to lose. "Pleas-

one that will well repay any one for
the time taken up by waiting for the

for the change the spider stops eating
for several days and makes his pre-
llminary arrangements by fastening
himself by short thread of web To
one of the main lines OF his snare. thi;
to hold him firmly while he proceeds
to undress. First the skin cracks all
round the thoraX. being held only by
the fore part. Next the lower part OF
the body Is uncovered. and then comes
the struggle to free the legs. He
works aud kicks vigorously. seeming
to have n very hard time Of It. Eff
teen minutes of continued persever-
ance, however brings him out Of his
old dress, the struggle causing him to
appear limp and lifeless for some time
after It is finished.
