Excitement In Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris Tex, by the "a
markable recovery of Mr.. j. f.. Corlev,
who was so helpless he could not turn in
bed, or raise his head; everybody said he
was dying of Consumption. A trial bot
tie of DR. Kings New Discovery was sent
him. Finding relief he bought large
hottie and box of DIR. Kings New Life
Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes
of Pills and two bottles of the Discovery,
he was we'll and had gained in flesh
thirty-six pounds.

THE FoUR-LEAFED CLOVER.
LULAH RAGsDALE.

For the Brookhaven Lsader.l
The land lay dreaming in a spell;
The air was soft aud tender:
A food of golden Sunshine fell
From out the sky's full splendor.
1t slipt through foliage rich and green,
The grass below gold-tinting,
Aud rested on bright heads sheen
OF curls; their soft silk glinting.
It kissed a rounded velvet cheek,
And set it deeper glowing,
1t played in dimpies hide and seek,
And then far holder growing
1t touched two lips of crimson rare,
Their dewy nectar drinking
Then faint with bliss from feeding there,
Low at her feet fell sinking.
She looked upon the trembling ray,
With blue eyes half adreaming:
Then turned her gaze to where away
The village spires we're cleaning.
"He was unkind last eve"-she said,
ale never loved me, neuer.
wish that could lie here, dead,
And never see him, ever.
"He is so good, and brave, and wise:
His life 20 far above me:
know he can not but dispise-
Aud yet-he seemed to lore me-"
Just then a storm of hopeless woe,
The sweet reproaches ended;
And like broken primrose low
The shining head lay Bonded.
With tears and sobs and low-drawn signs,
At last the burst was over,
And raising up her head, her eyes
Fell on-a four-leafed clover.
The tears were gone; a new delight
(The old despair beguiling)
Broke DER the face now strangely bright,
And put the lips to smiling.
A tiny foot crept swift in view,
From underneath white skirting-
A moment and the slipper flew,
Straight off and set to flirting.
The saucy winds that caught a sight
OF silken pale-rose stocking:
A second more the clover slight
Upon it's stem was rocking.
Then in the shoe her boon she placed,
The charm of love repeating,
And DER her foot, her slipper laced,
The magic spell completing
The sun sank slowly hind the hill
The air grew greyly DINNER,
A song came from whip-poor-will,
One star began to glimmer.
Afar some one was walking fast
All eager he to meet her,
He held her hand in his at last,
And bent low down to greet her,
But looking in her face his eyes
Saw there of tears the traces.
Oh though some one is wondrous wise
That sight all sense effaces,-
And in low, foolish words and signs
He tells of his despairing,
And looks within the soft blue eyes
To learn if she is caring.
For her all doubt has passed away,
She walks beside her lover,
And whispers in the twilight grey
cit was that r-leafed clover"

What Baking p owder Shall we Use ?

This plain question comes home to
every housekeeper. We all desire pure
and wholesome food, and this cannot he
had with the use of impure or poisonous
baking powder. There can he no longer
question that all the cheaper, lower
grades of baking powders contain either
alum, lime or phosphate acid. AS 10th
as we may he to admit SO much against
what may have been some of our house
hold gods, there can be no gainsaying the
unanimous testimony of the official
chemists. Indeed, analysis seems to find
no baking powder entirely free from some
one of these Objectionable ingredients ex-
cept the Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some of the
baking powders advertised as pure, to
contain, under the tests of PrOfs. Chand-
Ter, Habirshaw and others, nearly twelve
per cent of lime, while others are m ade
from alum with no cream of tartar. This
we presume accounts for their lack of
leavening power as sometimes complain
ed of by the cook, and for the bitter taste
found IN the biscuits so frequently COM
planned of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the physio-
logists assured us that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
as this are injurious. They are not de-
composed by heat nor dissolved in mixing
or baking. They go with the bread,
therefore, into the stomach. where their
physiological effects are indigestion, dys-
pepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these thngsf Alum is three cents
pornd, lime still cheaper, while cream of
tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The rea-
sons for the chemical purity of the Royal
Baking Powder were recently given in
the New York Times in an interesting
description of new method for refining
argOls, or crude cream of tartar. 1t seems
that it is only under this proc ess that
cream of tartar can be freed from the
lime natural to it and rendered chemi-
cafly pure; that the patent and plant for
this cost the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany about half a million dollars, and
that they maintain exclusive control Of
the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist Of
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
iugVOu, ~ u, III inc lntcIooI VI OouAhoAOot
made an examination of this process, aud
reported upon the results attained in the
refined cream of tartar. The following
extract from his report would seem to an
swer the question repeated at the head OF
this Article, aud which is so frequently
propounded by the house-keeper
II have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the manufacture " their baking
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure,
and free from lime in any form. The
chemical tests to which I have submitted
the Royal Baking Powder prove it per-
fectly healthful, and free from every
deleterIous substance
