Miss OLIVER, local preacher oil
Brooklyn, proceeds directly to business in
a manner which would do credit to her
sterner brethren in the profession. De-
string church within which to preach,
she did not hesitate to purchase the Wes-
ley NJ E. Church in her own name, and
the congregation after recovering from
the shock into which her conduct sur
prised them are assisting her with will
to pay for it. Miss Oliver exhibited
womanly tact in buying the chur h her
self, for she thus provides against any
future objections to her sex in the pulpit
If in any event some bold member of the
congregation should rise up and protest
against female administration of spiritua
service this forewarned and forearmec
lady could consistently show him to the
door and advise him that woman was al
least mistress in her own house.

Directions for Planting and Culti-
waiting the straw berry.

We prefer planting IN the spring as early as the
ground will permit; but pot.grown plants set in
August Or September VIII produce good crop
the next season. For garden culture, the mos
convenient method is to plant in beds four feet
wide, three rows in each bed. and plants one foot
apart in the row. Thoroughly enrich the soil, dig
deep, keep clean Of weeds cover lightly IN winter
with corn stalks or some coarse litter, rake off in
the spring, dress the beds and mulch with the
same litter or short grass from the lawn,
Plant new bed every year, spade under after
the second crop, and so insure plenty OF berries,
and evade unsighuy beds.

N.. GOODWIN SMITH is writing for the Cana
dian monthly called the Rose Bel ford Magazine
aseries Of exceedingly able and interesting ar
1jcles on the current topics OF the day. In the
February number OF the magazine be refers to the
nreyailing distress ia England and its alleged con-
uec1ion with revival OF fProtectionIsm. F" "What
isgaining ground in England" he remarks, IS is
not Protectiouisn, but desire to insist on Rcci-
prodty. Protection, the object Of which is to
force new manufactures into existence, would
be bad remedy, when the disease is not the
death OF manufactures, but their snperabun-
dance Reciprocity is more to the purpose.''
This distinction is not SO vital as Mr.. SMITH
makes it out to be. Reciprocity with countries
that non hare q Protective tariff could only be
obtained By Great Britain in Que Of two ways:
First, By inducing those countries to abandon
their tariffs; or, secondly, BY imposing tariff
ou goods imported into Great Britain. 1t is not
tobc supposed that foreign countries would aban~
don their tariffs merely OUT Of courtesy to Great
Britain. They would not in many cases be able
to do so, il they desired, without making SINH
lar concessions to other countries; and qucs-
tions Of revenue would be SO much involved In
erery case as to make absolute Free Trade I'M
possible. On the other hand, Reciprocity that
should be procured By retaliatory tariffs would
be virtually Protection for Great Britain. We

ALUM IN BAKiMG-POWDERS,
To The Editor Of The T'rfb,t

CHICAGO, Fet. 15.-Having read the article On
adultcratiou in your issue OF Feb. Q, and partic-
utarly that part OF 1t referring to Chicago bak-
ing-powdcrs containing alum, It appeared to me
that the article would hare been more satisfac-
tory and useful had it pointed out the good Chi.
cago baking powders as aatidotes to the pad.
Is it is, that article informs the public Of Chica-
go that there are certain baking powders that
contain alum, and that eight Of them arc made
in this city. Many people will probably cob
clude from this that there are no baking pow
dcrs made in Chicago that do not contain alum
ago a number of baking-powders made in this
city that were free from that impurity. It Is
true that the use OF alum has very much in
creased Of late, owing to its cheapness anu the
increase Of competition in this business. can-
not, therefore, speak OF the comparative merit
present time without making new cxami-
nation, except in the case OF Dr..
Prices cream, baking-powdcr, manutoc-
turcd by steele &: Price. which / have for
long time used in my family in preference to
any other. I have recently taken samples Of
this baking-powdcr, purchased at random in
this market, and have found it now, as / have
a!waFs heretofore, pure and wholesome arst-
Gle, perfectly free from any trace Of alum. l
certainly would not myself nor would advise
anr one else to use a bakineDowder containing
alum for the three following reasons:
Frst-Nature appears 10 hare carefully ex-
c1udcd alum or alulnina from fruits and other
vegetable food; also, from animal food and
from the human body.
Second-Alum is drug having medical prop
critics that are objectionable and practically
unavoidable, as used in baking-powdcr.
Ihird-Alum has, also, chemical properties
that are injurious, and, also, practically una
yoidab1e as used in baking-powlcr.
On the contrary, baking powder like that
of Dr.. Price's. made only OF cream of tartar and
bicarbonate Of soda, in proper proportions, con-
tains nothing injurious or that is not contained
