Not Affected by Age.

Some old specimens of Royal Baking Pow
der that had been kept on the shelf OF gro
Gerry store for ten years were recently tested
by Prof. Schneider of New York, for the pur-
pose of measuring the loss of strength they
had undergone. 1t was found that, although
the powder had been exposed to atmos-
pherie changes during all this time-its loss
of raising power or strength was less than
one per cent. the powder being practically
as good as the day it was put up.
This is most valuable quality in bak
ing powder. one which few possess. Most
powders if not used when first made are
found to be ineffective. If kept even few
weeks they lose their leavening power, be-
come lumpy or caked, and valueless.
This superior keeping quality in the ''Roy-
al" arises from the extraordinary care in its
manufacture, and the scientific principles
employed in its combination. The articles
used in its composition are thoroughly dried
by heat before being compounded, and are
so prepared and coated as to prevent the &C
ton OF the acid upon the alkali prematurely
or except under the influence of heat or wa
ter necessarily used in cooking or baking.
The Royal is now used extensively in
Australia, Africa, and other low latitudes,
where it has been found to be the only bak
ing powder that will Withstand the hot,
moist atmosphere without deterioration.

OLE Rull WRESTLING

Going down the Mississippi Ole Bull met
on the steamboat party of helfsavage
men; ooionists from the far west. While
reading mis- newspaper he was accosted by
one of the men, who had been sent as
spokesman by his companions, with the re-
quest that the fiddler would take drink
with them, offering him drink at the same
time. II thank YOU" said De Bull, po
a curse the fellow asked if he were teeto-
later. "No, but whisky is like poison to
me-" eff you can't drink, come and fight
then" The mans comrades had gathered
around him meantime, and they all cried

good for" GA Norseman can fight as good
as anybody when his blood is up but
can't when my blood is cold, and why
should II" "You look like a strong fellow
and d-n it, you shat fight" Seeing no
way of escape, Ole Bull quietly said
"Since you insist on testing my strength,
and there is no reason for fighting, I will
tell you what will do. Let any one
in any way he likes, ind I'll wager that
in half minute he shall be on his back at
my feet" A big fellow was chosen, who
stepped forward and grasped the violirist
round the waist, but was instantly thrown
over his head by a sudden wrench and lay
senseless on the DECK: Ole Bull now felt
himself in a very uncomfortable position,

question, "How the devil was thrown

himself joined. He sprang to his feet, and
after vainly trying to persuade Ole Bull tc
show him how he had thrown him, he
said: "Take this knife home with you

There are thousands Of farmers who
will agree with any statement of the i'm
portance of tree planting and yet do
not find that they are in position to
20 into the business extensively. The
labor and expense are things of the
present, while the profits seem to be dis
tant. B ut this class and all others, in
view of the severity of the present sea-
son, ought to be convinced that the
planting OF. a sufficient number, cover
ing say from five to ten
acres, simply for wind
break, is not only a work Of prime
necessity for the comfort Of his house
hold and his stock, but is something
that is entirely practicable, and that
should not be delayed. A beginning
can be made by planting one, two or
three acres, or even one acre year, by
way Of experiment. Perhaps one acre
prop 4rly planted and cared for, is better
than larger area. Be this the case or
not, the duty should not be neglected
or postponed. On some of
the older lines of rail-
road in the northwest, adjacent farm
houses which, a dozen years ago, looked
as bleak in winter as Siberian desert,
now present sheltered, comfortable
and cheerful appearance, even in the
bleakest weather. The intrinsic cash
value of such farms has been enhanced
far beyond the cost and trouble Of cult
waiting these wind-breaks, while the en-
HANGED comfort, in summer as we'll as
winter cannot be estimated. There are
hundreds Of such farms in northern
Iowa and in the older cultivated sections
OF Minnisota. What has been accom-
plished IN those cases can be indifnete-
ly multiplied, with comparatively little
trouble or expense.

Frank James Wanted in Minnesota

County Attorney Key of Rice county,
Mimi, has secured requisition from Gov
Hubbard for Frank James Of Missouri
charged in the participation in the North
field robbery in 1876. AS it is very probable
that the farccal proceedings TO glowing the
surrender OF James in Missouri will amount
to nothing more than turning the Independ-
ence Jail into reception room for the out
Law, this action of the Minnesota authori-
ties is well enough. 1t is, however, waste
of trouble, for the admiring governor and
people of Missouri will never allow their
pet hero to brave the dangers of Minnesota

"The General Assembly shall, by pc
nal and other laws, provide for the safe
ty Of life, health and employment in all
mines, manufactures, railway service,
and other industrial positions of special
danger.

side is to leave the people free, and al

which causes mishap and disaster.

stead:

shall, by suitable enactments, require all
such appliances and means to be provi-
ded and used as may be necessary to Sc
cure, as far as possible, the lives, health
and safety OF all persons to be employed

shall, moreover, enforce such enactments
by adequate fines and peHalties.'

presidential election has ever been deci-
ded in this country on the plea that the

that the men out of Office should have a
chance. "Put the rascals out" when
boiled down, amounts to this: ut is our
