How TO Become INDEPENDENT. Large
savings invariably originate in small
sums, jas. is money barrassment
arises frolu little exravag tncies. Very
few persons of ordinary honesty deliber-
ately set to work to make large purchases
which they cannot afford and YET numbers
spend jast as much in the long run in little
things that they scarcely think are worthy
of notice. 1t is very difficult TO fully
realize the value of small sums. Little
savings, if made at all. must be made in
personal expenditure. What is spent
upon the household is generally needed,
but the small personal luxuries which cost
so little. are not. And when any saving
is made in this way, the money should be
put aside and saved, instead Of being
mixed with the spending fund, and addi.
tions mace to it as frequently as possible;
that will make you understand as soon as
anything, what small economies amount
to. When money is put aside to be saved,
it should be put in some place where it
cannot be directly got at-the savings
bank for Instance. The very fact that q
little trouble and formula has TO be gone
through with before it can be obtained,
many time prevents it being spent, when
1t certainly would have been were it close
at hand. To secure independence to our
selves is really worth some scf-denial.

RUSSIA S BIG TELESCOPE.-The Russian
observatory at Poulkovo will shortly be
in possession of gigantic telescope. For
long time this observatory. constructed
in 1889 by order of the Gar Nicholas
possessed tho most powerful instruments
in the world, but of late years the scien.
tific progress which has been made in En-.
gland, France and United States, has put
the .Poulkovo observatory in tho shade.
The university of Virginia. for instance,
has now the enormous Mccormick teles-
cope, the objective of which is 26 IA inches
in diameter. and 80 feet long, while the
the naval observatory at Washington has
one of the same calber, and Mr.. Lick, a
wealthy Californian, is about to place
still greater telescope on Mt. Hamilton
near San Jose.
Four years ago the Russian government
accordingly determined to construct a
new instrument which, both in respect to
its mechanism and optic power, would
surpass any existing telescope. The as
tronomer, Otto Sturve, was commissioned to
superintend the work, the execution of
which was intrusted to Messrs. Alvin
Clark & Co., of Cambridge, Mass. The
glasses, consisting of an amalgam of flint
and crown glass, have been in hand for
nearly year, and by the month of Octo-
ber they will be ready for use. The total
length of the Poulkovo telescope will be
As feet, and the diameter of the glass 80
inches, exclusive Of the mounting. The
telescope will be placed in a meadow to
the southwest of the principal building
of the Poulkovo observatory and will stand
upon movable iron turret which will
itself rest on rails. This telescope will be
so powerful that the moon willIbe brought
to an apparent distance of only hundred
miles from the earth.-London Telegraph

AMERICAN Discovery BY NoRrHMEN.
There are scarcely two interpreters who
precisely agree as to the places visited by
the Northmen, and those who are surest
in their opinions are usually those who
live farthest from the points described
Professor Rain found Vinland along the
coast of New England; Professor Rlsk,
his contemporary, found it 10 Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, or labrador. The latter
urged, with much reason, that it was fur
easier TO discover wild grapes in Nova
Scotia than Eskimo in what is now Rhode
Island, and that the whole story of the
terror of the Skraeings before the bull
indicates an island people like these of
Newfoundland or Prince Edward Island,
and certainly not the New England In
dians, who were familiar with the moose
and might have seen the butfIlo lie
might also have ad led. what was first
pointed out by Mr.. j. Elliot Cabot. that
the repeated voyages from Greenland to
Vinland, and the perfect facility with
which successive explorers found the
newly discovered region, iuliclte some
spot much nearer Greenland than Mount
Hope bay, which would have required six
hundred miles of intricate and dangerous
coast navigation, without chart or compass,
in order to reach it. Again, Rain finds it
easy to place tho site of Leif's booths at
Bristol, Rhode Island; and M. Gravier, a
Frenchman, writing SO lately as 1874, has
not doubt upon the subject. But a sail
from Fall River to Newport, Or indeed a
mere study of the map, will show any
dispassonate man that the description
given by the sagas has hardly anything in
common with the Rhode Island locality.
The sagas describe an inland lake commu-
nicating with the sea by = shallow river
only accessible at high tide, whereas
Mount Hope bay is broad eXpanse of
salt water opening into the still wider
gulf of Narragansett bay, and communica.
ting with the sea by passage wide and
deep enough for the navies of the world
to enter. Even supposing the Mortimer
to have found their way in through what
Is called the Seaconnet passage, the
description does not apply much better to
that; and If it did, these hardy sailors
must have recognized. the moment they
reached the bay itself, that they had come
in at the back door, not at the front; and
the main acess to the ocean must have
instantly revealed itself. 1t suflices to
say that the whole Interpretation, which
seemed so easy to transatlantic writers,
is utterly rejected by Professor Diman,
who was born and bred in Bristol, aud
lived all his life within easy reach of it..
Having myself lived for fourteen years in
that region, | may venture modestly to
indnrao hiq conclusions. oo5 thov ho yo III IN

The nexl incident shows that Christ
had concluded his public teaching, for the
tims and bad taken a seat where he could
view the treasury. This place is said to
have been room, or inclose space in
the court of the women. wherein were
thirteen trump}t.shapel receptacles, into
which contributions for various RELIGIONS
purposes were cast, II would seem that
the day had far advanced, and many were
about leaving the temple. before going
they deposited their gifts in these rccepta,
cles. The contributions of the day seem
to have been liberal. The result of good
preaching was good collection MANY
that were rich cast in much. Tho Jews
of that day, in point of liberal contribu-
tions, would doubtless put to shame our
Christian congregations of the present.
But the divine sight of the Savior saw
more than the amount of the coin that
was contributed. lie saw the motives
actuating each gift and the sacrifice that
each gift cost. At length poor widow
came and cast in two mites, the smallest
brass coins of the time, worth about eight
mills.
Jesus saw her gift as we'll as the greater
ones, and looked with special favor upon
her offering. So true was this that Jesus
called his disciples near to him and com
mended her gift saying. she hath cast
in more than they ALL" This statement
is of special importance to us as showing
US the divine estimate of such things. 1t
is only comment upon the text Man
looks upon the outward appearance, but
God looks Mt the heart"

a N SWERED
A San Francisco Lady
Asks It..

The recent excitement in regard to Adultered
Baking Powders has brought out number OF
letters from intelligent housewives, who are anx-
ious to get all the real facts of the case In re-
cent letter from prominent and well-known San
Francisco lady to Newton Brothers & Co. the fol-
lowing questions are propounded:
''As it is the carbonic acid gas which is the &C.
''tive agency in bread raising, will you give me
'the relative proportions of this gas in your own
"and other Baking Powders? l desire to know.
"Also, please tell me how to experiment with the
Iodine test. | am much interested in this mat
ter, as l want the best Baking Powder can
"fnd.'
In reply we have to say that according to tests
made by the Government Chemist 4. G. Love,
Pm. D., whose authority must be final in all such
matters, the largest quantity of gas in any brand
of Baking Powder, published as being analyzed
by him, was l27 4-10ths cubic inches of gas to
each ounce of powder May of the brands test
ed were Alum Powders, which he characterized
as very unwholesome, and where Tartaric Acid
was used he says the Powders liberate their gas
too freely in process of baking, Or under varying
climatic changes, they suffer deterioration.

SAN Francisco, May 24.-Last night

The Two Grain Exchanges ut War,
SAN Francisco, May 24.-The Pro-
duce Exchange held very hot meeting
this morning over the question raised on
account of the number of prominent
members who are seeking to join the
Brokers Grain Exchange, among whom
are such well known operators as Geo.
w. McNear, w. T. Coleman, H. Le-
Meyer, A Bannister, of the Star Mills
Company; R. Bruce, of Balfour, Guthrie
& Co.; E. Mehlert, of Dresbach & Co.,
and others. 1t was decided to enforce
the rule, that any members of the
Produce Exchange joining the Grain
Exchange or any similar organization,
either in person or by proxy, shall be
suspended on ten days notice. A lively
rivalry has arisen between the two ex-
changes The Grain Exchange shows
greater dash and familiarity with the
call business, but the Produce Exchange
will make vigorous fight for supremacy,
and will start in formal afternoon call
on grain ON and after June lst, in addi-
tion to the regular morning call. A
lively speculative business in grain is
proposed in the near future.
Fined for Overlooking a Chinese
Passenger Steamer.
PORTLAND, Oregon, May 23.-Captain
Thompson, of the British steamer Both
well Castle, has been fined nine thousand
dollars by Judge Deadly, of the United
States Court for violation of the passen-
ger act in bringing from Hongkong l6O

appeal to President Arthur for the re-
mittance of the fine.

Secretary Folger authorizes the con
tradiction Of the statement that he has
discovered enormous frauds in the mat
ter of bonds given by distillers for whis

TAX ON ADULTERATED WINES.
Berry presented in the House petit
ton of the Sonoma Viticultural Club, in
which they oppose the levying of a tax
upon artificially made sparkling wines.
They say they will give hearty support
to any wise legislation prohibiting or re-
stricting the manufacture and sale as
pure-grade wine, of any article which is
not entirely the product of the grape.
They favor prohibitory tax on the sale
of adulterated wines, domestic or for
eign, and upon sparkling wines made in
whole or in part from cider or other ma
terial other than grape-juice, but hold
that neither impregnation with carbonic
acid gas or the addition of pure syrup or
can sugar should be called an adultera-
ton. They also insist that the carbona-
ton of pure wine is eminently whole
some, and not deleterio s to health.

Address from the Chairman.
PHILADELPHIA, May 24.---The Inde-
rendent Republican State Convention
met this morning. U. s. Senator
Mitchell was chosen temporary chair
man by acclamation amidst great ap-
plause. In returning thanks, Senator
Mitchell said the work of the convention
was not to nominate ticket that wonld
help the Democratic party or defeat the
Republican party but to nominate one
that would receive the respect and sup
port of the Republican party. There
must be an order of political things;
leaders, but not "bosses." 1t would be
well for the convention to declare against
this system. The speaker said he
would be glad to stand before the Con-
vention and declare his desire to support
the administration of the President if
the latter was disposed to enforce civil
service reform; but he was sorry to say
there were not yet any such indications
on the part of President Arthur. He
trusted that the Republicans in the
State would assist in ridding the party
of the barnacles and of the corrupt
atmosphere by which it has been so long
surrounded. The roll of delegates was
then called.
Chas. S. Wolfe was chosen permanent
chairman of the Committee on Organiza-
ton, and Senator Stewart chairman oil
the Committee on Resolutions. H. c.
Foster was made permanent chairman,
witha vice president from Senatorial
district. During the course of Fosters
remarks he asserted that the death oi
President Garfield was chargeable direct
ly to the spoils system, and spoke of the
political power of the State as something
that had too long been regarded as sort
of patrimony to be handed down IRON
father to son.

The New England
Baking Powder

As made by Professor Adolpb Sommer, Analyti-
Baking Powder: 1T is carefully prepared from
''the best brands of B-Carbonate of Soda and
'Cream OF Tartar that can be obtained. One
"ounce of this Powder generates IVA cloths cubic
"inches OF gas"
This shows difference IN FAVOR
of the NEW ENGLAND of Al $40
inches of Carbonic Gas per ounce of
Powder; or, in other words, 81 PER
CENT. more strength than the high
est test of any Of the other Powders.
Thus it is clearly demonstrated that the New
England Baking Powder contains a far greater
proportion of the leavening principle than any
Baking Powder now before the public. lt is alb
solutely free from every sort Of adulteration.
Now, in reply to the question concerning the
IODINE TEST. Any housewife may try it for
of the Powder in glass of water, then add two
drops of tinctnre of iodine. The water will as
sumo slightly yellowish tinge, il the Baking
Powders are pure, but If adulterated with Flour
or Starch, it will almost Immediately turn to a
deep purple color and deposit Of the same color
will be made in the glass.
After all is said and done, experience will prove
that the only true WISDOM the only safe plan, is
to purchase the Baking Powder that has nothing
in its composition but the TWO PURE INGRE-
DIENTS that our mothers and grandmothers
used with such pleasing results, namely Bl-CAR-
Donate OF SODA and CREAM OF TARTAR,
perfectly mixed, perfectly compounded and per-
fectly satisfactory.

we will put our grand old party where
