Twenty-seven Per Cent. Difference

.A To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Our attention has been called to an article in your paper from Messrs Hecker t& Co.,, the obvious purpose of which was to rid themselves of the recent exposure of the in- feriority or low test of the baking powder manufactured by that house. These people, having recently embarked in the Baking Powder trade, seem to have adopted the.c .cold dodge of adventurers in 8 new business, of by making comparisons with popular and well-known brands, attempting to show, by abuse and misrepresentation, that their arti- cle is 'just as good" or even superior to that which has an established reputation
 As to whether the baking powder manu- factured by Messrs. Hecker & Go. is equal to the Royal" the facts are that when the cans were purchased on the open market, and examined by the Government Chemist. the report revealed the fact that Messrs Hecker's powder contained twenty-seYen per cent. less strength than the Royal
 When compared in money value, would be as follows say:
 One pound can Royal" worth 50 cents One pound can Hecker's worth 36 cents
 4ne hoyd1 Dak1nS HoWder company nave been fighting for years past to break up the practice of substituting Alum, Phosphate, etc., as cheap substitutes for cream tartar, as well as short weights. and low test in baking powders, and the 'stop thief cry" will not deter us from pointing out all who are engaged in the nefarious business of palming upon the public cheap or injurious baking powders at the same price pure and whole some article is sold for
 The Royal Baking Powder has the com mendation of the most noted chemist in the country for its purity and freedom from any substance of an injurious nature, being man. ufactured from grape cream tartar of our own refining.

Ancient.

A Harwinton correspondent of the Bridge port Standard sends to that paper this veri- table literary curiosity on headstone in the Harwinton burying ground: It is to the memory of Lieutenant Nathan Davis and wife, who were among the first settlers. In respect to longevity this was most re markable couple; they died one year apart, at the age of 97 each. His death occurred in 17s5 that of Mrs, D. in 17s6. The two in- scriptions are side by side and close with the following unique specimens of graveyard po- etry, supposed to be the farewell sentiments of the deceased
 sDeath is det that's justly due
 that have paid
 and must you"
 ssThis det owe
 is Justly due
 and am come to
 sleep with you" As Webster's spelling book had at this time been in existence only one year, the ortho- graphical errors of the stone-cutter will ar- pear the more excusable The lieutenant was quite prominent in the towns early his- tory, and Mrs. D. is celebrated ss the woman that killed the bear in her garden one hun dred years ago. It was on Sunday, but she could not bear to let that bar escape without a.6dTeE of cold lead.
