NEWS NOTES.
Detective Fahey, of Montreal, was
sentenced to fourteen yearain the Peni-
tentiary.
The Manitoba Government has the
offer of plenty of funds for the. con-
struction of the Red River railway,
and the work is to be proceeded with
at once.
The Ottawa Journal (Conservative)
gives currency to a rumor that Hon.
John Carling,Minister of Agriculture,
will be appointed Lieutenant -Gover-
nor -of Manitoba,
Farmers in Hastings county are like
ly to loose from $20,000 to 30,000 by
the hull -less oat dodge. The makers of
the notes are seeking to have them de-
clared worthless on the ground of
fraud.
A Boston theatrical manager be-
gan an advertisement in the Sunday
papers with the words:—" A call for
100 women to sew on buttons dislo-
cated by laughter." To his surprise
he found the theatre lobby filled the
next morning n
gwith women who took
the announcement seriously and want-
( i a job. He appeased theft as well
as he could by distributing among
thbm tickets to his performance. This
the Buffalo Courier says is not nearly
as nice a story as the one -about the
ittle girl who found as the closing
sentence in one of the tales of the
Brothers Grimm :—" And all who do
not believe this must pay a dollar."
Whereupon she called one morning
upon' Jacob Grimm and proffered her
onedollar in the moat matter of fact
way to the astonished story- teller.

TORONTO LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Offerings on Tuesday were light,being
under sixteen loads. Demand wasgen-
erally fair, but limited to local buyers.
Last week's receipts were 514 cattle
214 sheep and lambs and 478 hogs.
Butchers' cattle were in good demand
on local account, but no outside buyers
were present. Montreal and the East
have more cattle at the moment than
they can handle. Prices ruled firm and
almost everything was cleared out. Gen-
eral ran of sales were made at equal to
3i to 4fc per lb. - Picked cattle 4}c, and
a very choice lot of 4 steers, weighed
empty off the cars, at 5c per lb; they
aversged.1
080
b' Export cattle were
in fair demand. Quality was only me-
dium. One buyer made up two loads
weighing 1,200 to 1,400 lbs per head at
equal to 4i• to 50 per lb. Sheep and
lambs lower, Supply fair. Demand
not so good from butchers, as many of
them have considerable amounts of
mutton on band. The quality of the
offerings was only fair. Yearlings were
inferio4Choioo yearlings are wanted and
6c per lb would be readily paid for them
Sales were 33 head, 90 lbs 'average, at
85.25 per head, and 11 do, 125 lbs,at
50 per head.
MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKET
At is usual on Easter Monday, there
was almost nothing doing on the cattle
markets singe butchers had still ample
supplies of beef on hand, though there
was better demand and larger amount
of extra meat sold in the city last week
than during any week for several years.
The supply of extra cattle was larger
last week than usual, and quality very
fine, but there were no fancy prices
paid none of the sale having been
made at upward of 7o per Ib, and only
two beeves at more than 6c. One of
these was a very fine steer,and was sold
by My Snell,of Whitby: The other steer
sold by Mr Drawer, of Lachine, to L.
Picard, of Inspector street. This latter
steer was not quite 2 years old and
weighed nearly 1,490 lbs. four heifers
sold at 6e per lb. They.were certainly
the best lot sold here this season. Tho
general prices of Easter cattle thin year
were about Go per lb., with a few at
from 51 to 5,}o do.
What aro these Impurities?
The report of the Ohio State Dairy
and Food Commission on baking pow-
ders shows a large amount of residum
or impurity to ell fit in many of these
artioles. The figure given by the com-
mission are as follows:
NAME
IMPURITIES
OR RESIDUUM.
10.18 pr. ct
1L99 "
12.63 "
12.66 "
24.04 "
31.88 "
32.52 "
36.49 "
The question naturally arises in the
minds of thoughtful consumers, Of what
does this impurity or residuum consist?
In the case of the first named powder
there has; been recently given the re-
sult of an analysis made by Prof. C. F.
Chandler,of Columbia College,New York
late member of the New York State
Board of Health, which partially sup-
plies the missing information, and as
the manufacturers of this particular
powder are continuously calling for the
publication of all the ingredients used
in baking powders, there can be no ob-
jebtion to its statement here. Among
the impurities Prof. • Chandler found
Cleveland's powder to contain a large
amount of Rochelle Salts, 5.49 per cent.
of lime, with alumina, starch.and water
in quantities not stated. Alum is a sub-
stance declared by the highest authori-
ties to be hurtful, If the balance of
this residuum in all the powders named
is made up largely of alum, as it is
known to be in some the public would
like to know it. Another official test
that shall go quite to the bottom of the
matter seems to be demanded.
