Domestic Habits in Alaska.

Lieutenant Schwatka's concluding paper on
his explorations Of the Yukon River with many
illustrations, appears in the October Century
supplemented by an interesting Open Letter on
the domestic habits of the Chilcat Indians, by
Mrs. Eugene S. Willard. From Mrs. Wiard's
letter we quote the following: "Thc Chilca,
people long ago gained for themselves the repu
tation Of being the most fierce and warlike tribe
in the Archipelago. Certain it is that between
themselves and southern Hy-dah, there is moi
another which can compare with them in strength
either as to numbers, intelligence, physical per
lection, wealth.
"a diseased person among the Chilcats is
rather the exception, and prostitution as defined
by them is punishable with death. At first
thought their marriage laws seem very elastic
but such is not the case. Though they do no,
bind tightly they bind strongly, and the limit,
which are fixed are fixed indeed. The children
always belong to their mother and arc of her to.

A Doubly Good Work.

All people who eat are indebted to the Royal
Baking Powder Company not more for having
perfected and prepared leavening agent that Is
pure and wholesome beyond question than for
its exposures, so boldly made, OF the numerous
impure a3ultcratcd and injurious articles that
arc sold under the name of baking powders, bread
preparations, etc, in this community. In max
ing these exposures the Company has, OF course,
made itself the target for all sorts Of counter at
tacks, but the animus OF these attacks has been
perfectly understood by the general public, and
by their very yirulcnce have served to more prom
inently call attention to tho good work Of the
"Royal" Company.
Food frauds Of the usual class, such as wooden
nutmcgs, chicory coffee and watered milk, al
though they arc swndes in a commercial sense,
are often tolerated because they do not particu-
larly affect the health Of the consumer. But
when an article like baking powder that is relied
upon for the healthful preparation Of almost ev-
cry meal Is so made as to carry highly injurious
If not rankly poisonous elements into our daily
food it would seem to be the duty of the press AS
well AS of the criminal authorities to take cogniz-
ance of it.
In the fight for pure food made by the "Royal''
Company some time ago, when its guns were
particularly trained against the alum baking pow
ders, it was noticed that the most trustworthy
scientific authorities were emphatically upon its
side. So in the recent contest with the lime and
other impure baking powders the result has
proved that every statement made by the Royal
Baking Powder Company, both as to the purity
of its own and the adulteration Of other baking
powders Of the market, was fully authorized by
the most competent chemical and medical au-
thorities of the country.
In this contest two facts have been pretty con-
clusively settled in the minds Of the public-the
first that the Royal Company has found the
means, and uses them, to make chemically
pure article of food, and the other that the
age baking powder, no matter how strongly en-
dorsed by Commercial chemists, is exceed
ingly doubtful preparation.
Pure baking powders one Of the chief aids
to the cook in preparing perfect and wholesome
food. The recent controversy in the press has
left it no longer question with those who desire
| purity and whoesomeness Of food what baking
powder they shall use.

matter of any description, is chloride
of lime. One pound may be dissolv-
ed in two gallons of water when 1t
is desiable to use it in u liquid form.
Another excellent absorbent of nox
isus smells is plaster of Paris, one
part, to three ofpulverized charcoal.
The reason that there are so many
unwholesome kitchens cannot be at
tributed to the lack ofmeans to puri-
fy them, but to the slothfulness of
those who have become accustomed
to breathing foul air, yet they com
plain wonderfully when called upon
to pay natures laws. a few pennies
expended now for purifiers may save
heavy doctor bills, aud will certainly
pay in comfort when surrounded by
n healthy atmosphere. - Tribune

Winter Feed for Young Colts.
Massachusetts Piou1hman. |

Massachusetts Pioughmdn.
The period for weaving the colt is
generally about the end of the sixth
month After this, and during the
summer and early autumn, the best
food for the little animal is grass.
If this is not abundant and sucu-
lent, few steamed turnips or car
rots, over which little bran is
is thrown, should be given night
and morning.
During the winter season the colt
should have n sufficient quantity OF
the best English hays, and a daily
allowance of roots. To this diet
should be added two quarts daily of
bruised oats, and II hountiful sup
ply of pure water. Upon the care
and attention paid to the colt dur
ing the first winter will depend
much of his future value. Any
check given to its growth at this
critical period will never be entirely
recovered from afterwards. Great
attention must be, therefore, paid to
the proper shelter and protection of
the animal from cold and wet.
Good, warm, sunny and well ventil-
ated quarters, with an enclosure for
exercise protected from the wind,
are essential to his proper growth
and well.being. Far from grain
having the effect to produce a large
belly upon horses to whom it has
been fed in colthood, quite the con-
trarv is the result.

Flowers and Plants.

Geraniums raised from cuttings this spring
should now be potted in four-inch pots. Ifkept
in healthy, growing condition, they will make
beautiful, growing plans for the house, when
frosts kill the outdoor plants.
Not more than one fower-bud of cameias
should be allowed on each terminal shoot, il
size and perfection Of flower be required. Re-
move all others before the buds begin to swell
Is delayed louger little advantage is gained.
When potted plants pecome pot-bound they
should be repotted in size larger, the ball OF
earth set into water with the chill off, until the
earth dissoves from the roots, then repotted in
a pot Of the same size with fresh soil and shaded
until the roots established.
Lovers Of flowers should know that one bios
som allowed to mature or to go to seed, Injuries
the plant more than dozen new buds. Cut
your flowers, all of them, before they fade.
Adorn your room with TENN, put them on your
tables, send boquets to your friends who have
no flowers, or exchange favors with those who
have. All roses should be cut back after they
have ceased blooming, that the strength of the
root may go to forming new roots for next year,
and on these bushes not seed should be allowed
to mature.
