had short interview with the manutac'

apprising him of what was desired, said
that an interview had been held with Prof,
Blaney on the subject of baking powder,
and the result Of the investigation was
very favorable as regarded the weight and
purity Of the Royal.
Mr.. Favor Well, what is it?
Reporter Royal proved to be
the only full weight powder, the pound
cans containing l64 OF.
Mr.. F.--Well, according to that it does
seem favorable.
RI am very sorry to learn that other
manufacturers are so much below the
standard in weight
Mr.. F.--They are perhaps little toe
avariclOus
R.-After having learned that the
Royal is the only one which comes up te
the standard, | would desire to gain some
information concerning the mandatory
and the amount of business done.
Mr.. F.-Our mandatory is situated 10

From the Chicago Daily Tribune
The complaints that are constantly made
are numerous that baking powder manu-
facturers throughout the city and country
have adopted.the practice of putting up
baking powders in packages that tau short
in weight from one to two or more ounces
in each pound and, what lis more, that a
considerable portion of such goods is adul-
terated, Therefore, it is believed to be a
duty to the public to enquire Into this mat
ter little, with the hope of working re-
form; and, as an example, we will exam
inc baking powders first, and see which
are meretorious and which are not. And,
in order to give the reader the best ev-

THE ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES

carbonate, as bicarbonate of soda, with Its
equivalent proportion OF an acid at or
cream of tartar.
R.-What is the action of the cream OF
tartar on the bicarbonate OF soda
Prof. B,-The action produces an effer

as yeast in bread or biscuit.

Lime fer Apple Trees.

An00 ZOE Apple 1Eeeos
A successful pomologist of New
Jersey writes to the New York
Herald that he once noticed that .
tree standing in the immediate
vicinity Of his dwelling had all at
once put forth with renewed en-.
ergy, and he was at q loss for
some time 10 define the cause. On
examination he found that q
quantity of lime, which had acci-
dentally been spilled and rendered
wothless by becoming mixed with
the refuse on the stable -four, had
been thrown ct the foot and around
the tree, and to this, as the principal
cause, he Immediately accredited
the revivemet and renewed fructi.
fication of the tree. Taking the
hint from the incident, he purchas-
ed twelve casks of lime End applied
half . bushel to each OF the trees
in his orchard, and found that it
produced immediate beneficial eff
fects. Not the health of the tree
only, but the quality of the fruit
also was greatly improved. The
Herald adds that it has known
some farmers to make it q regular
practice for q succession of years
to throw caustic lime around their
apple trees in the spring and
summer.
In our experience on the farm, We
found that leached ashes worked
about the same results as given
above. A pear tree close by .
leech grew twice as rapidly as one
. few rods away.-Ohio Farmer.

If the word of Theodore Parker,
40 given by q Boston medium is to
be depended upon, the insects even
will enjoy . happy hereafter. The
question was asked, "Are all ami
mails immortal, or do they contin.
ne to exist after what is called death!
If 20, does the abundance of insect
life become trouble There. g.,
mosquitoes, ants, grasshoppers,
locusts, flies, Aeas, etc.," The an
swer, professedly by Parker, was
this: "Ths life of all things is
immortal, but forms are forever
subject to the law of change, yours
and mine being no exceptions.
These troublesome companions Of
your human life, rest assured, will
trouble you no more in the second
degree of life, though in many
places you win not find them there,
even. Under many conditions,
there, they flourish well, under
others they cannot exist; but they
will be no longer an annoyance r.
you in tho other ife."
