Thia ooio , which is a legal teudor
dollar , bears upon Hd face in bas-
relief a double medallion of the
heads of Washington and Lafayette
mid upon its rovono a miniature
reproduuliuu of the cquoftrian stat
ue of Lafayette used for the menu
ment. The inscription on the del
lar explains its purpose ( struck in
commemoration of Monument erect
ed by school youth of United States
to General Lif lyotto , Paris , Franco
1000) ) .
The Lafayette Dol'er thus serves
not only to aid the Memorial work
but forms n new and beautiful tic
between the two great republics of
Europe and America , and therefore
the coin must be regarded as an in
ternational emblem. It constitute B
a most desirable souvenir and mom.

Thanksgiving was in honor of

King Philip war. During the
struggle with the Indiana , fasts had
been ordered , but when the tide of
war turned , and it approached a
fiueceesful end , a dny of thanksgiv

priate. The governor and magia-
tratoa suggested the day of thanks
giving and won over the oppo
sition of the preachers , who wanted
another fast. Petitions were sent
in by Increase Mather and others ,
praying for a fast day , but the
council on Juno 20 appointed June

A STRINGENT FOOD LA.W.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum iu
all Articles of Diet
The law enacted by the Missouri
legislature , a copy of which was
recently published iu our columns ,
and prohibls tuo manufactures or
sale of any article intended for
food or to bo used in the prepara
tion of lood , which contains alum ,
arsenic , emmonia , etc. , places tbtt
state in the load in the matter of
sanitary legislation.
Laws restricting the use ] of alum
in bread have been in force in
England , Germany and Franco for
many years. In this country , in
Minnesota , Wiaoouson , Michigan ,
Ohio , Kentucky and several otlior
statea , direct legislation in rotoronoe
to the aalo of alum biking powders
bus also been effected. In several
of these states their sale prohibited
unless they are pbanded to show
that they contain alum , and in the
District of Columbia , under the
laws of Congress , the sale of bread
containing alum has been made
illegal.
following are the names of some
of the brands of biking powder sold
in the vicinity which are shown by
recent analysis to contain * alum.
Housekeepers and grocers should
cut this out and keep it for re
ference :

In addition to those many Groc
ers sell what they call their own
private or special brand. These
powderd are put up to the grocore ,
and his name put on the lable ,
especially as he can make an abnor
mat profit on it. Many grocers ,
doubtless , dj not know that the
powders they are pushing are alum
powders the sale of which would bo
a misdemeanor under the law re
ferred to.
It IB quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking
powders. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of disguises
under dfferont names and all kindf
of prices , oven as low as hvo ant
ten cents a pound. They can be
avoided , however , by the' hous-
k' oper who will bear in mind that
all baking powders sold at twenty
five cents or less per pound are
liable to contain alum , as pure
cream of tartar powders cannot bo
produceo , at anything like this
price.

GRANT AS A FATHER.
Some of the Traits Shown by lllm In
His Family.
"Gen. Grant as a Father" la the title
of an Interesting sketch in the Youth's
Companion. It Is by the general's
ton , Frederick D. , and is well worth
reading. Here is a part of it : I novcr
heard my father say an unjust , cruel
word , even to those who sought to in
jure him. What was most impressed
upon my mind during my youth , and
afterward , was my father's qualities of
truthfulness , loyalty and honor , his un
selfishness and his charitableness to
ward all. If an unkind word had been
uttered or an uncharitable thought ex
pressed in our homo circle , our great
est care was to keep the fact from the
knowledge of our father , because we
realized that such expressions from one
of his family would cause him deepest
sorrow. From our earliest years we
could not bear to have him think us
unworthy. His children never feared
him , as ho was far from being sterner
or severe with us , but we respected
him , loved him with deep affection ,
and wo dreaded to disappoint him.
Gen. Grant was considered by his
countrymen a great commander , firmly
pushing through overwhelming obsta
cles on to his goal ; he was known to
his children to be a tender-hearted , In
dulgent and most considerate parent ,
over willing to sacrifice his pleasure
for the happiness of those about him ,
oven to the smallest and most unim
portant member of the household. A
( stressed or troubled expression In the
ace of ono near to him was sure to bo
noticed , and called forth his sympa-
hy. His was the character of a sim
ple , unaffected Christian gentleman ,
and his descendants may well try to
mltate him. In Gen. Grant's home wo
cncw the gentle and just and chival
rous nature which the public recog
nized when ho gave orders at Vlcks-
> urg and Appomattox that his own
victorious soldiers should make no
lomonstratlon of triumph over the do-
eat of the opposing army. We , his
amily , knew best of all that spirit of
warm good will which caused him to
say to Gen. Lee : "Lot your soldiers
retain their horses and mules ; they
will need themto cultivate their
farms. "

Four Suns nt Once.
The crew of a British steamer have
recently witnessed u remarkable sight
wher steaming in the South Atlantic.
The rare phenomena the sun dog
which may not be seen once in a
century , appeared in the sky one even
ing at sunset. It was first seen by
the captain , who noticed the sun set
ting In the cast instead of the west ,
and was confirmed by the steersman ,
who reported another sun to port and
two more in different directions. This
marvelous sight of four suns in the
sky gave the sailors a tremendous
shock , as the sky was perfectly cloud
less and the vision unexpected.
