Ercu small doses of alum, gireo to i

while cases of heartburn, indigestion, j

caused by tbc continuous uso of food i
prepared with the alum or alum-phos* j

It is not possible that any prudent \
housewife, nny loving mother, will <
knowingly use nn article of food that i
will in jure tho health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chit - ,
drcn.
llow shall tho dangerous nlutn powders
be distinguished! And how shall tho !
danger to health from their use bo
avoided ?
Generally, alum powdorstnny be known
from the price at which (hey nro sold,
or from tho fact that thoy are ace >inpnuicd
l>y a gift, are dis|K)ssd of uudcr
qptno scheme. Tho alum powder costs
but aJuw coats a pound to uu.Ko, sad is
often sold at J2U I>r 'Jr> cents n pound
price may bo .'10, w'or SO cents a pound.
It is impossible to name nil tlio alum
powders iu the market, but any baking
powder sold at a low price, or advertized
as costing only half us much ns
cream of tartar powders, accompanied by
u present, or disposed of under nny
leucine, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to ho nvoided.
r.ut the easy, safe, and certain protection
of our bread, biscuit and enko from

This powder in mentioned because of tlio I
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. 8. Government,
and by the ollicinl chemists and
Hoards of Health, which leave no doubt
us to its entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, ita absolute purity nud
wholcsonicucss. Whilo its uso is thus a
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it is satisfactory at the sarao
time to know tlint it mnkes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist nnd fresh
longer, and that can bo eaten with immunity
hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength it
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn u deaf car to all importunities to
buy the inferior powder. If a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure, nlun;
brands, it Ehouhl he borne in mind that if.
is because he can make more profit on
thctu. The wise housekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.

ONE ot tlx> New York Son reporters
visited Chinatown with
party of frlea<'? wi ,>ul :
Chinese dinner. One of the
>arty, who used to frequent the fsnow
Chinese restaurant in Sen Francisco and
eras familiar with the diahee and th<
outiue of a Chinese dinner, summoned
i waiter, a small individual, whose
American clothes sat upoi him verj
Mdly. The waiter brought a small disb
>f sweet pickle aud a butter diih coo
mining a small quantity of a browi
isuco resembling Worcestershire. Tiiu
is tho Chinese condimeot and is ex
:eedingly salt. It is otlled see ou. Hi
ilao brought etch a bowl of steamet
rice, surprisingly white an 1 dry, and ac
;ookcd tliut each grain was whole anc
separate. The tea catne next in a small
ware pot, with bowls the sixo of egg
cups to dtink it from. All this was pre
liminary.
.id: ... .1,....,. I..K- ?
"U1TO UB BWIUU V/IIV/|I lUJj UWilll,
said the guide. "Forty cents, see?'*
The Chinnmnn grunted and diiap
pcarcd in tho kitchen.
"You must a I ways indicate the amount
you want of each dish by stating th?
price," snid the guide. "I ordered forty
cents' worth of chow chop auj, m that
will bo onough for us both. While they
are preparing it, for it takes a LLtth
time, Wo-wtrt enc romtn^ Wlltr Chop
neas. tstcu li'uur bread."
Eating with chop sticks is not so difficult
a mutter as most pooplo suppose.
There is a popular idui that a Okiuamnn
takes n stick in each hand and pro|>oU
the food into his mouth in some mysterious
process peculiar to himself. When
the knack ia once acquired, however,
chop aticks prove an efficient table
utensil. The sticks nro a foot lon{, onehalf
squared, the other rounded and
sharpened.
They can bo so gripped by their squared
cuds between the thumb nud first fiugei
of tho right baud, and stoadiod and directed
by tho fingers, as to become at
excellent pair of tongs Tuat is what,
in fact, they arc in tho hand of the diner.
Chop sticks are simply a single advuuco
over primitive man's first table tool, tho
thumb and lirtst linger.
The chow chop suy was brought steaming
hot iu a largo bowl. It ap|>e.ire 1 to
he a stew without gravy. T-io principal
ingredients were chicken livers, Atnciican
mushrooms, dried Chinese mushrooms,
celery, gir.znrds, and sprouted
r;co. Tho wholo was flavored with
spice's and had evidently been treated
with oil.
No plates wctc served, and tho stow
was eaten Chinese fnsuion, from tho
bowl.
"A very excellent dish," said tho
guide, "but don't cat too heartily, for
wo have several other courses coming.
This sprouted rice that you can soo ia
tho bowl is doomed very Ibio by Ohinoso
epicures. They sprinklo rioo on a piece
<>( wet cloth until, in the course of a few
days, the grains swell ami sprout. Tlicn
they cook it. Our next dish will bo porfumed
pork, n great dainty. Meantime,
hero cornea our 'chick' with tho sam
ku."
8*m ?hu jurovad to. ut}T(![T
of ? milky appearance. The waiter
brought it in n ware p it like A small,
lender tea pot. Cups holding little
11 ore than a thimbleful were provided.
Tho approved method of taking tho
brandy is to mix it with the tea, a cup
of the liquor in each tiny howl of tea.
It doesn't do to drink too heartily of tho
mixture. Indeed, the temptation to do
so is small. 8aiu sliu is u crude uud raw
distillation.
Perfumed pork was tho nearest approach
to civilized diet which was served.
It was sliced into thin pieces and brought
in a howl. Tho llcsli was lean and tender
and had an exceedingly delicate
ilavor produced liy unfamiliar spices.
M cantime the crowd in tho restaurant
was continually changing. As last as the
diners finished they a row, wipeil their
faces on their linnd* (there were no napkins),
ahutUcd to the counter, paid thoir
bills, uud left the room. Tlioy seldom
spoke, and most of the time tho room
was as silent as a tQuaker meeting. Tho
places of those who left were tilled by
new-comers. Tho restaurant does a big
busiuoss.
'Waiter," snid tho guide, "chow gai
men, seventy cents. See?"
The little waiter uttered his customary
grunt and vanished.
"Chow gai men," continued tho
guide, "is ono of tho dainties. They
make it here to perfection. It consists
of a mass of spiced macaroni fried crisp
hi melted fat, liko doughnut-, ami covered
with a dressing of chicken livers,
mushrooms^ and stewed celery. * am
suro you will like it. The amount 1
ordered is enough for half n dozen, but
they will not make less, for it is a
troublesome dish to handlo. This will
complete our dinner, for there is no dessert
or coireo. Our dinner has ho?
exceptional ono f?i cuio restaurant, notwithstanding
that it is thcswcllest in tho
c.ty. There are comparatively few rich
Chinamen in New York, and they all
.avo their own kitchcus, presided over
y high-priced cooks. The diners are
many of them well oil, but C.nn.a nau are
alwav thriltv. aud it is possible to live
very nicely here nt a very small outlay.
Our dinner will cost us $1.30 apiece.
Kew Chinamen will scud inorc than fiftv
i r sixty cent* for a inoill. For that
amount of money a very excellent
linner can lie had, for rice is ouly tivo
< cnta n bowl ami tea is nothing. One or
i wo nice dishes can be bought for half a
dollar. So cheie you arc."
But many of these Chinamen," said
tho reporter, "have oaten nothing but
i;ce."
"Yes, hundreds of Chinamen in this
city eat nothing else than rice the year
round. You see how cheap John can
live if lie wants to. lie comes here and
orders a five-cent bowl of rice, lie gets
ail the tet he wants for nothing. It
costs him fifteen cents a day to live.
Hundreds more cat rice for all tliwr
:teals but dinner. Then they buy an
i stra dish of sonic sort for tweuty-five
:etita more. Expenses forty cents a day.
I'ca is not considered at all. It is as fieo
is water. In every Chinese Bhop, wholes
d.e or retail, a teapot stauds on the
muter, kept warm by a silk tea-cosey,
ml in every home tea is somewhere on
up. It is not even the custom to oflor
l i to visitors. If the visitors want it,
t .ey ask for it as uticouceruedly as though
asking for a glass of water. f?o it is in

flavored bovorago aad not a. powerful
drug that the Chinaman drinks."
The waiter sorvoa small plates
and aa aromatic sauce with the cbow gai
men, which looked ia its deep dish not
unlike a smoking plum podding. The
timers plunged tneir chop sticks through
the garnishing of mushrooms aad livers,
aud brought masses of crisp and fragrant

A prospector now in Yum*, an-1 who
made the trip here from Dure ago, Col ,
with two horses, ??}s that the time hon
ored burro, who&e ancestry is inseparably
mixed up with Mexican history, it
not as good au nuimal for desert travel
as the ordinary mustang horse. It has
always been considered thnt the burro
had the advantage of the horse in his
capacity for enduranoo on a slim diet.
This, the gcntlemuu states, is not so
great as is generally considerc 1, although
he ouce had a burro who ate a pair of
gum boots an<l a Navajo blanket one
afternoon. This was done merely to
show off and was not considered to be a
nutritious meal even by the jackass himself,
who was of French descent, and
merely wished to put on style to humiliate
a band of scrub mustang horses with
whom he was forced to associato. The
gontlemsn whn has had experienoc with
both classes of animals prefers horses to
the slow burro and says that although
the latter will live a day longer without
food or water, yet the distance covered
by the horse in a given time is so much
in his favor as to render him the superior
of the immobile bnrro.?Yuma (Ari'iuua)
