who has, perhaps, built, bought and sail

any other one man in America, was in cx-

the expenses Of yachting. He had been
opening his pockets very literally for a
dozen years or so, paying sailors and
suilnakcrs, cooks, stewards, captainsand
painters, and he seemed inclined to tell
his experience. He said that his first
yacht, 4 sloop, cost him $4,000. "Whcn

New Designs in Necillcwork.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Already the summer hotels are open.
and the sound Of the clinkling of steel
knltting-nccdles may be heard on a
thousand piazzas throughout the coun-
try, with the accompanying low hum of
conversation of women busy with their
fancy work. There is no longer any
need that this fancy work shall be an
atrocious mixture of Berlin woods. The
excellent schools Of design of South
kcnsington and in this country have
furnished exquisite patterns which de-
light the eye as we'll as employ the
idle fingers.
a variety Of articles are now wrought
OH heavy white or unbleached linen. A
set of doylies, a tray cover, buffet covers.
bureau covers, pillow "shams'' or bed
spreads are made on this material
There is considerable quantity of darned
work seen in the new designs, though
many patterns are embroidered in out
line and crewel. Little of old cut work
is attempted, as the button-hole stitch
which surrounds the raw edges after the
pattern is cut away is tedious to work.
Drawn work is even more effective than
cut work, and is easier to do. Great
nine inch borders of openwork pattern
arc shown in drawn linen, and the hex
agonal patterns which are frequently
seen are very pretty. Doylies are a
piece of handiwork often undertaken bv
beg nners and they are tastefully wrought
in simple outline work, and are so small
that they may be picked up at odd in
tervals and finished before the worker is
hardly aware Of it. Some of the nret-
test doylies are scattered with tiny rose
buds or forget-me-nots in dresden china
colors. A dozen Shakespeare doylics
are frequently undertaken, with a stag.
Il cock, hare or lobster wrought outline
in the corner, and quotation from

The Baking Powder War.

The Royal Baking Powder Company
is still making cncmies among those
who are manufacturing and selling i'm
pure articles for leavening purposes land
their name is lcgion], and this fact shows
that it is continuing its vigorous work in
the interests of the public This COM
rany set out some time ago to expose
the character, and SO far as possible to
break up the sale of adultcratcd baking
powders. Having found from an exam
nation of Il number of specimens pro-
cured from grocers that they we're gen
orally of an inferior ch1acter, some dc.
void of all leavening properties and
many of them actually poisonous, it
brought the matter before the public,
denounced the makers by
name in the press and to
the authorities. The affair
was speedily taken up by physicians,
Boards Of Health and Legislatures
throK bout the country, chemists were
employed to make scientific tests Of the
various powders in the market, and the
Government itself directed analyses to
be made before it would purchase the
supplies needed for army, navy and
Indian uses. The result more than justi-
fed the charges so boldly made by the
Royal Company. Not only were the ma
iority of baking powders in the market
found to be largely adulterated, but many
of them were ascertained to contain alum
all extent as to render them positively
unsafe for use in human food. The infor.
nation spread throughout the country
and created II profound sensation. As a
result many of these injurious mixtures
were driven out of the market
and the sale of all OF
them seriously intcrfcred with. No oc-
currence Of recent date has been so far
reaching as this in its beneficial influence
upon the public health, and the bold
ness of the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the Inauguration of such war
fare, and their energy i'll it carrying for
ward with such important results, were
universally commented upon and appre-
ciated. In making the charges they did
not hesitate to enter into COMPETE
tionwith every other baking powder in
the country, and it is public satisfaction
that i'll all the tests and analyses made
the Royal Baking Powder was placed al
fhc lead of the list and declared by
Boards Of Health and by the Govern.
ment chemists, Drs.' Mott and Love, to
be the superior of all others in strength

In continuing this warfare against the
adulterated food, more particularly the
alum and otherwise impure and inferio,

upon tho market i'll this locality, the
Royal will undoubtedly meet with the
old time opposition and abuse. We are

justice to the company that has SO fear

Soiled Bingham dress,

Been making mud pies,
And playing in sand;

Tousled and rough;
Bright, laughing eyes
Can't see enough;

Folded in prayer;

Heavy with sleep;
Silvery sweet voice.

What Constitutes Good Farming,

Formerly it was thought that education
was not necessary Tor u farmec-ability
to swing ln axe, hold u plough, handle !,
hoe and swing Il scythc being all that
was required i'll Il good farmer. This
opinion has given way to amore enlight-
cncd one. At the present day it is con-
ceded that we'll directed use of brains
is worth more to the farmer than und-
rcctcd physical labor. Both combined
are still more effective where the great
est profit is expected.
One Of the many elements Of success
in farming is in keeping posted up with
the times This in Il great measure
may be obtained by reading our best ag-
ricultural journals, and he who isa close
student can learn much that he can use
to his own advantage, and at small cost
The habitual carclessness which one
meets with among farmers, especially in
the matter of small things, is to be dep
ricatcd. Many things arc allowed to
90 to waste for want Of proper care. The
farming tools are left where last used
exposed to the changes of weather, and :,
rust and decay. The natural wear is

ly cared for. Some who are looked up
on as good, practical farmers do not give
the needed attention to small things,
and asa consequence 4 loss is sustained.
This in part is owing to the laxity in
system and order which is so essential
in all kinds of business.
Many farmers are greatly in error in
trying to work too great Il quantity of
land, having more than they can proper
ly improve and cultivate. All lands that
do not yield sufficient to pay for labor,
interest, and taxes, and are incapable Of
improvement with the means Of the
owner Except woodland enough to sup
ply the wants of the farm, should be
disposed Of at some price or even given
away, rather than be held at a yearly
loss, which has to come out Of the profits
Of the farm. This loss is greater in most
cases than the increasing value of the
land. There are other leaks that should
be looked to; "a constant dropping soon
fills the cask." Large crops are simply
the result of applying manure, which
every farmer knows, but many of them
fail to give it that attention its import
ance demands Even where land is
good, manure largely increases the crop.
This can be obtained by different meth
dds on the farm without resorting to
costly commercial fertilizers.
