A WHOLE FOREST OF STONE TREES.
From twenty to thirty miles from Denver,
between Cherry creek and Running creek,
the Denver and New Orleans Railroad
forces struck an unusual obstruction, it
being nothing less than buried forest.
The trees are all petrifed and agatized, are
of all sizes, and lie buried at various depths,
from ten TO twenty feet deep, which is as
deep as any excavations were made by the
workmen. They came upon these relics of
bygone age in at least half dozen locali.

Guilty on their account. The trees are very
perfect, and could be taken out nearly
whole if suitable machinery was employed.

TEE DESTRUCTION OF OUR FORESTS

The utter recklessness of Congress in re-
gard to the destruction of our forests must
soon bring upon the country the most seri-
GUS injury. At the present rate of con-
sumption it has been estimated that
in less than twenty years we shall
have SO nearly consumed all our
timber as to be unable to supply
the home demand. As to the hardwood
forests, their doom appears to be already
sealed. and the pineriss are disappear.

SNOW IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES


The people of the southern counties of
the State must have been very much as
tonished by the snow-storm which occurred
there on Thursday. 1t appears to have
been almost, if not quite, the first fall of
the kind within the memory Of the "oldeat
"inhabitant. 1t was the outcome of an
Arctic wave which has been sweeping
across and down the State, and the mani
festation of which has in the northern
counties taken the form of fierce norther.
Snow or rain, however, the moisture con-
tanned in this storm will be welcome
enough to our southern friends, who have
been suffering so much from drought that
great mortality among the stock, and
especially the sheep, seemed inevitable. 1t
is not likely that the snow, though in San
Buenaventura it is reported to have fallen
to depth of ten inches, will do any seri
ous damage to plant life, nor is it proba-
bic that this novel experience will be re.
peated for some time to come.

WRINKLED FACES.

1t is a painful sight to see young
ladies in their teens with wrinkled and
prematurely old faces; nevertheless it is
quite common, and to anyone who OBJ
serves the tendency of the times the
reason is very apparent. Owing to
flaming advertisements and bogus GER
tificates, in which are used the names of
eminent physicians and chemists, the
unsuspecting and credulous have been
induced to use some of the so-called
liquid beautifers, all of which are
known to be positively injurious, and if
used for any length of time will destroy
the complexion, so that it will be next
to impossible to restore it. Mothers
should be very careful to see that their
daughters do not use these preparations,
but ask for and obtain Slavens Harmless
Yosemite Face Powder, the only harm
less beautifer. For sale by c. f. Heinze-

Playing Nebuchadnezzar.

An ingenious tramp, thinking to wiring
tears and money assistance from the
stoniest hearts with new science, gave
it an experimental trial in the North
End. He has decided not to patent his
invention. He told North End lady
of his unfortunate condition, and asked
if he might eat some of the grass in the
front yard. The lady, not less amused
than surprised, said. Certainly" He
went out, and getting down on all fours
commenced ON the grass after the ne
elected and never popular fashion of
Nebuchadnezzar, and apparently not en-
joying the diet any more than that
ancient sinner OF olden time. Presently
the tramp's anxious eye caught sight of
the servant girl beckoning him from the
back yard. He thought rich reward
for humility was in store and instantly
responded. 'Did you motion to me ?"
said he. Eyes" ''What do you want ?"
He now wore a look of most hopeful
expectancy. 'You may go into the
back yard if you want to; the grass is
taller there. Detroit Free Prass.

Stalwartism.

No man can doubt that Grantism is
the pole-star by which Mr.. Arthur's
course is guided -Grantism with Arthur
substituted, vice Grant cashiered. The
efforts of the Stalwarts to destroy the
reputation of the late President have
been unremitting, since the very day he
was stricken down; and now, one by
one, the men he appointed to office are
made to give place to those whom he
considered unworthy Of preferment.
Mr.. Blaine Is undergoing the process
known as being "sat down upon," and,
by the time he returns from Europe he
will be as likely to be translated bodily
to heaven as to become the nominee for
the Presidency at the hands of Repub-
ican convention. Honest John Sher-
man is, perhaps, the only prominent
Half-breed who still lives, but he is the
gentleman who dismissed Mr.. Arthur
from the Custom House of New York
for corrupt practices, and opposed him
self to the three hundred and six busi-
ness at Chicago, so his name, we may be
sure, is ON the condemned list of the di-
rectory, and presently we shall see him
rolled away in tumbril for execution.
The ways of the Stalwarts are indeed
ways that are dark, but their tricks can
not be called vain. They move upon
their objective point with the directness,
and the irresistibility also, of the shell
from rifed gun. They are as blood
thirsty as Apaches, as vindictive as Cor
sicans, and pursue their quarry with the
unerring persistency of bloodhounds.
Vae victisl The Half breeds are paying
dearly for the sighting contempt be-
slowed upon the late Senator from New
York, and his former henchman, who
is now his master.

Governmental Aid to Education.

The House Committee on Education
and Labor have reported a bill in sup
port of the public schools of the differ
emit States and Territories, and ten mil
lions of dollars annually for the space of
five years is to be apportioned among
them according to the number of litter
ate persons more than ten years of age,
while five per cent. of the amounts SO
appropriated may be used for the educa-
tion Of teachers.
If other things were equal, California
would be entitled under the law-pro-
vided the bill passes--to an annual
grant of about one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars, but the State contains
q number of illiterate persons of the age
referred to somewhat below the average
of many of the other States and Terrific
ries, so that the amount to which Cali
fornia is really entitled would be very
considerably less. And the county of
Los Angeles would receive annually a
sum not exceeding, at the outside, fif-
teen hundred dollars-supposing that
the appropriation for California were to
be divided among the counties in proper
tion to their respective population. But,
were the State to apportion its appro-
priation among the counties as the Fed
eral government intends to do among
the States, this county would receive
considerably less than the quota men
toned.

The Chronicle, of San Francisco,
terms the Chinese evil political foot
ball" The inner consciousness of that
organ at times gets the better of its usual
cunning. The action of the vast majority
of the Republican party, OF its President,
and of it's Senators and Representatives
in Congress, is sufficient evidence of the
little regard that party has for the rights
of their white fellow countrymen. Even
such q trivial contest as game of foot
ball is won and lost, however, and the
umpire has already given a decision in
this game, decision against the Chroa-
icle and its party.

Municipal Economy.

While it is highly proper and praise
worthy that the municipal government
should endeavor to guard the pocket
books of citizens in every possible man
ner, at times the mere avoidance of the
expenditure of few dollars does not
in reality constitute economy.
Now that the rains have ceased, the
dust along the crowded thoroughfares OF
the city lies almost as thick as on the
worst cared for roads of the country, and
is blown hither and thither in dense
clouds. Yet the sprinkling cart is con-
spicuous for its absence. We under
stand that, this year, competitor OF
the person to whom the contract was
awarded last year has put in bid, Of
fering to do the work at slightly re-
duced amount, and that the awarding
of contract to him, it is held by some,
would be attended with the working OF
quasi-injustice to the former contractor
who had gone to the expense OF furnish
ing himself with carts, and the like, es-
pecially adapted to the purpose OF
sprinkling the streets, and of no other
use whatever.
But, while this fine point of economy
is being duly considered, the dust of the
streets is a-blowing about in a manner
highly disagreeable to every one who
walks or drives upon them, while it is
the cause of very serious damage to our
merchants. These pay a direct Ii
cense for the privilege of doing busi-
ness, as well as the taxes which all of us
pay, and the amount is greater than in
the great majority of cities of this size
in other parts of the country. 1t seems
to us, therefore, that their complaint is
not ill-founded, and it is to be hoped
that the Council come to q speedy reso-
luton on the subject.

WHILE it is very true that our exports
to China are inconsiderable in amount,
and that they are not likely to increase
in any very great ratio, and while the
argument that Gibraltar is relatively a
more important market is correct, it
would appear that the facts concerning
the latter place are not fully understood
by some of our contemporaries. By
them the fact that barren rock inhab-
tied by five or six thousand soldiers and
few hundred civilians, the area of
which is not three square miles, in 1880
imported from the United States nearly
two and half millions of dollars worth
of merchandise is held up to admiration,
but it is of but little credit to American
enterprise that the amount is not far
greater. The British garrison consumes
little or nothing of what is imported
from America, and the demand by
civilians is very small, but Gibraltar is a
free port, and is the great center of the
smuggling trade of the Mediterranean
and Black Seas, as well as the Atlantic

The New England
Baking Powder

Is made on this principle 1t is composed of
Cream of Tartar and Soda of the highest grade
and nothing else. WE CLAIM NO SECRET
PROCESS. Our powder is combined in proper
proportions, thoroughly mixed by Steam Power,
so that in using the smallest quantity the proper
tions are ALWAYS THE SAME.
1t is kiln-dred at given temperature, so that
all moisture is expelled. (soda and Cream of
Tartar combined without careful drying before
packing will effervesce and deteriorate in
strength.) Then the powder is put at once in
tins, air tight, and will keep for years in any eli
mate without deteriorating or hardening
1t is packed in tins of o., s o., 12 and 16 OF,
FULL NET WEIGHT.
With these ingredients, pure, anybody can
make just as good Baking Powder as the NEW
ENGLAND, provided always they use the same
proportions and quality Of material and take the
same care that we do.
We warrant our powder to be exactly as we
represent it.
We INVITE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS and the
most rigid examination. IT WILL STAND THE
IODINE TEST, which some manufacturers so
decry and ridicue, but which, nevertheless, will
expose starch or -four when used
WE ASK FOR PRACTICAL TRIALS by house
keepers in comparison with any other powder,
and we know the result will be verdict in favor
of the NEW ENGLAND POWDER.
If housekeepers at distance are unable to pro-
cure the NEW ENGLAND BAKING POWDER,
We will gladly forward samples free on receipt of
address, and mentioning this paper.
To those who prefer TO use Cream of Tartar
and Soda in the old-fashioned way we offer our
brands of each, which we warrant to be pure
They are packed in l ib. packages, net weight.
1t has been said to us that We could not succeed
in selling Pure Baking Powder, Pure Soda, Pure
Cream of Tartar; that Californians would not
pay for them.
Our experience has been different. We have

NOTHING III 81 E

Before Baking Powders were made or thought
Of Cream Of Tartar and Soda were used in every
household for bread-raising. Their use would
have continued to this day, were it not for the
difficulty of obtaining these ingredients pure.
Cream of Tartar is often adulterated with
CHALK, ALUM, CLAY, PLASTER OF PARIS
and other INJURIOUS MIXTURES, and Soda
with COMMON SALT.
Owing TO this the housekeeper found it impos-
sible to depend upon what was procurable The
Bread was constantly varying in taste and was
generally unsatisfactory.
Then Baking or Yeast Powders began to be
compounded, and found ready sale. Manufactur-
ers pushed the resources of the Chemist to the
utmost to find out CHEAP SUBSTITUTES FOR
CREAM OF TARTAR. Some manufacturers put
out Baking Powders composed of some OF the
following ingredients: 'ALUM, PHOSPHATES,
LIME, TARTARIC ACID, MURIATE OF AM
MONA; and add STARCH, FLOUR and TERRA
ALBA to give the mixture bulk and weight and
at the same time present the appearance of an
honest powder.
The only merit of these powders is their raising
properties, and on these the manufacturers. lay
great stress. They do not make good bread and
the ingredients have been proved to be positively
| injurious
Who will knowingly use such, at
the expense of health?
Other manufacturers, more careful Of their rep
utation, make Baking Powders of Cream of Tar
tar and Soda, and add Flour and Starch for the
purpose of CHEAPENING, which of course i'm
pairs the strength. These they call necessary
preserves" and they loudly claim that their pow
ders possess NO INJURIOUS QUALITIES.
On one point all the manufacturers agree.
They claim that their powder is PURE, STRICT
LY PURE, ABSOLUTELY PURE, UNIvER-
SALLY PUBE: but PURE WHAT?
To prove their assertions many publish testi-
monials - extracts from paid advertisements
They advertise chemical analyses, showing
amount of gas evolved in passing given point,
| and vast amount of pleasant and readable mat
ter which has nothing whatever to do with the
subject.
Which one of these by any accident tells O.
what their Baking Powder is composed? Perhaps
ii they did the cheapness Of the materials used
would be quite as much of revelation to con.
sumers as the materials themselves.
WHY Do THEY NOT PUBLISH THEM?
