Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger to the public health
from the indiscrimi mate use OF the
many lime and alum baking powders
of commerce has been so fully ex-
posed that every ybody desires to avoid
them. As "forewarned is forearmed'
housekeepers will thank US for ap-
prising them of the special effort at
present being made to dispose of
such powders in this vincinity.
The proprietors Of some Of the
worst Of these powders are now going
from house to house, trying by means
of trick, or so-called test, with heat
and water, to show that their article
is as good as the Royal Baking Pow
der, making the comparison with this
brand because everybody recognizes
it to be absolutely pure and whole
some, the object, of course, being to
supply their own goods in place of
the Royal, which housekeepers have
for so many years relied upon to puff
up the morning biscuit, and to make
the light, palatable, and wholesome
roll, cake, and pastry for which it is
famous.
The housekeeper will do well to be
on her guard against these baking
powder tramps. Every intelligent
person knows that any goods peddled
from house to house in this manner,
or that are given away in samples, or
sought to be introduced by secretly
traducing the character of other
goods we'll known to be pure and re-
liable, have no merits of their own,
and have failed to find purchasers
through legitimate means.
We are informed, as a matter of
fact, that one OF these tramps is try
ing to introduce powder that has
been found by the Government chem
ist to be 11.85 per cent lime, while
the other peddles powder that Is 20
per cent alum-one a powerful caus-
tic. the other corrosive poison.
/ No such tricks Of jugglery will be
apt to deceive any intelligent person.
The housekeeper who has used her
Royal Baking Powder ever since she
discarded cream of tartar and soda,
knows more about its qualities than
all the tramps in the country can
teach her. The crucial test to which
she has put the Royal Baking Pow
der-the test of actual and successful
work in the preparation Of pure and
wholesome food, under which it has
never failed-is entirely satisfactory
to her. She has always had good
luck" with it in making light, sweet,
and delicious bread, biscuit, and cake,
and has placed it, to stay, at the head
Of her housekeeping favorites, She
knows that it has been officially ap-
proved by the government chemists
as the best, and we imagine that the
baking powder tramp who attempts
to supplant its place in her confidence
will find this a bad year for his
business.

The Declaration of Independence.

Few people know that the original
Declaration of Independence is kept
in the Library Of the State Depart
ment 1t is in a cherry case and
under glass. But the doors are
thrown open all day long, and strong
rays of light are eating up its ink day
by day. The Declaration is written
on parchment. The text of it is writ
ten in hand as fine as copperplate,
and the ink Of this part can still be
plainly read. The signatures, how
ever, are written III a different ink,
and they are very fast disappearing
under the action of the light. The
bold signature of John Hancock is
faded out almost entirely. Only j,
O, Ell and FL remain. Two lines of
names are entirely removed from the
paper, not vestige of ink remains to
show that nan es were ever there.
Ben. Franklin's S name is entirely gone.
Roger Sherman's name is fast fading.
| could not find the name of Thomas
Jefferson, and Elbridge Gerry has
lost its syllable. Robert Morris, Ben
jamin Rush, Charles Carroll, and
John Adams have been secured off by
the light, and only eleven names out
of fifty odd can be read without
microscope
Just below the Declaration lies the
original of it in Jefferson's writing.
1t is on foolscap, yellow with age,
and worn through where the manu-
script had been folded. The writing
70 Hoo onJ o1ooo opd tbo xpbo1a Doo
laration occupies but two pages. The
ink is good, and it remains as fresh as
when it left the quill Of Jefferson,
over one hundred years ago. It is
full of erasures and interlineations .
some of which are in Franklin's hand
writing. and others in the strong
script Of John Adams. These show
but little change, however, from the
Declaration as adopted by the people.

Morgan, of jackson.
The President was authorized to ex-
pend ten dollars to secure the services
of stenographer for the June meet
ing.
Making the coal-dust experiments
as per circular "B" Of the Secretary
was thoroughly discussed, it being de-
cided that inasmuch as the Institute
in its present condition, could not
make such experiments AS would
throw any additional light upon the
subject, these experiments should be
postponed for the present.
President McMillln presented the
following list of subjects upon which
papers are to be prepared and read al
the Jackson meeting:
The use Of the Orsalt Apparatus in
the management Of the Blast Fur.
