SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD 1
Wblh ll??fkrr?rri HktaU Bar roily
ItaiMer.
A serious (lunger menace* the hen 1th
of the people of this country ia the numerous
nluni baking powder* that are
uuiv being urged upon tho public.
There is no question as to the detri mental
effect of these powders upon the
system. Every Hoard of Health, evory
physician, will tell you of the uuwholotsomc
qualities they add to tho food.
Some countries have absolutely prohibited
the salu of bread containing
alum.
Even small doses of alum, given to
children, have produce I fatal results. '
while eases o( heartburn, indigestion,
griping, constipation, dyspepsia, and
varit us kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of thu mucous incnrbrano,
caused by the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alutn phosphute
powders, arc familiar iu the practice
of every physician.
It is not possible that nny prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her children.
flow shall the dangerous aluin powders j
lie distinguished? And how shnll the I
danger to health from their uso bo
avoided 1
rSi>?><'n?Hy, alum powders may he known
from the price at which they are sold,
or from the fact that they are nee ?mpnnicd
by a gift, arc disposed of under
some scheme. The alum powder costs
but a lew cents a pound to int.kc, and is
ofteu sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound
price may he 50, 10 or 50 cents n pound.
It is impossible to name all tho alum
powders iu the market, but any bakiug
powder sold at a low price, or advertized
its costing only half as much as
cream of tartar powders, accompanied by
a present, or disposed of under nuy
scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
15ui the easy, safe, and certain protection
of our bread, biscuit ami cake from
all danger of uuwholcsomcncss is in the
use of the ltoval linking I'owdcr only.
This powder is mentioned because of the
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. S. Government,
and by the oilicial chemists and
Hoards of Health, which leave no doubt
as to its entire freedom from alum, lime
ami ammonia, its absolute purity aud
wholcsonicncss. While its use is thus a
safeguard against the poisouous alum
powders it is satisfactory ai the same
time to kuow that it makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with imniuuity
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 a deaf car to all importunities to
buy the inferior powder. If a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure, nlun;
brands, it should be borne in mind that ii
is because lie cati inukc more Drofit on
them. The wise housekeeper will decline
iu all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using a doubtful
article irhere so important a matter as
the health or life of dear ones is at stake.

?Tea Krce as Water.
ONE ol tbo Now York 8nn rejxirter*
visited Chlnatowa with
a party of friends and tried
Chineso dinner. One of th?
party, who used to frequent the fa'nout
Chinese restaurant in 8au Francisco and
was familiar with the dishes and th<
routiuc of a Chineso dinner, summoned
a waiter, a small individual, whost
American clothes sat upoa him vert
badly. Tho waiter brought a small disb
of sweet pickle and a butter diih coo
taining a small quantity of a browi
sauce resembling Worcestershire. Tlui
is the Chinese condiment and is ex
ceediugly salt. It is called see ou. 11<
also brought csch a bowl of steame<
rice, surprisingly white an 1 dry, and sc
cooked that each grsin was wholo anc
separate. The tea came next in a smali
ware pot, with bowls tho sixo of egg
cups to di ink it from. All this was pre
liminnry.
"Give us some chow chopsuy, John,'
said the guide. "Forty cents, sec?"'
The Chinaman grunted aud dirap
pearcd iu tho kitchen.
"You must always indicato the amount
you want of each dish by stating tin
price," said the guide. "I ordered forty
cents' worth of chow chop suy, as thai
will be enough for us both. Whilo thej
nro preparing it, for it takes a litth
time, wc wilt eat some .m Witti chop
mitsj. Wot is wrr Vrread."
Eating with chop sticks is not so difficult
a mntter as most pooplo suppose,
There is a popular idoi that a Ohitmmar
takes a stick iu each hand and propel
tho food into his mouth in some mys
tcrious process peculiar to himself. \Yhoi
the knack is ouce acquired, however
chop sticks prove au efficient tabl
utensil, The sticks are a foot Ion*, one
half squnrcd, tho other rounded au<
sharpened.
They can be so gripped by their squire
ends between tho thumb and first fin ire
of tho right baud, and steadied and di
rccted by tho lingers, as to becomo ai
excellent pair of tongs Tnat is what
ii fact, they are in tho lmiid of the diner
Chop sticks are simply ft single advanc
over primitive m m's first table tool, th<
thumb and lirst linger.
The cliow chop suy was brought steam
i ii.g hot in a large bowl. It appcircl t<
I be a stew without gravy. T.ic princips
I ingredients were chicken livers, Aineti
I can mushrooms, dried Chinese musb
rooms, celery, gizzards, and sproute
rice. Tho whole was flavored wit
spices and had evidently been trcato<
with oil.
No plates were served, and tho ste
was catcu Chinese fasuion, from tfc

It doesn't do to drink too heartily of th
mixture. Indeed, the temptation to d

distillation.
Perfumed pork was tho nearest ap
proach to civilized diet which was served
it was sliced into thin pieces and brough
in a bowl. Tho llesh was lean and ten
der and had an exceedingly delicat
flavor produced by unfamiliar spices.
Meantime the crowd in tho rostauran
was continually changing. As fast as th
diners finished they arose, wiped thci
fucos on their hands (there were no nap
kins), shuttled to the counter, paid thoi
bills, and left the room. Tlioy sehlon
spoke, and most of the time the root
was as silent as a Quaker meeting. Th
places of thoso who left were tilled b;

Tho little waiter uttered his customar

A Gigantic Gorilla.
At a meeting of the Anthropological
Society in Merlin, Lieutenant Morgen
baa reported that his assistants, at a place
twenty-live days' march from the coast of
Cameroon, Africa, shot a gorilla of such
a sir.c that the measure across its chest was
seventy inches, aod its shoulders were m
wide as those of three men united. The
creature had to be dragged to the station
by the united strength of sixteen men. so
heavy was it. Hitherto no gorilla has
been seen by Ruropeai s beyond the first
