Survival of the Fittest.

For sometime past the question of pU.
rity in baking powders has formed quite a
feature of newspaper discussions, aud
eminent doctors Of philosophy have given
opinions as TO the ingredients which con-
pose many of the articles sold under that
maine. The investigations have narrowed
down TO the limit which awards the Roy
al Baking Powder the palm of purity, an
several of the most distinguished Scicn-
lists have testified to their convictions
that no extraneous or dcletcriOus matters
enters into its composition. The Royal
Baking Powder Company have achieved
a worldwide reputation for the success
which has marked their preparation of
cream of tartar for baking purposes. 1t
is indisputably shown that they have
e minated all elements OF tartrates Of
lime, alum or other impurities, and
presents to the public healthGul and
chemically pure article. Such widely
known chemists as Henry Morton, +. G.
Love, II. A. Mott, VIM. McNurtrie and
others have verified, its superiority over
other manufactures, and testified through
practical experience, to its excellence.
1t is well for families to observe the
fact that il costs more to manufacture
the Royal Baking Powder than any
other, but it is, ms shown by chemical
analysis, the one absolutely pure
baking powder made.

EXTENT OF SLAVERY.
Official Reports Regarding the Increase
and Decrease of the Slave Traffic.

Official Reports Regarding the Increase
and Decrease of the Slave Traffic.
A parliamentary blue-book con-
tanning correspondence with British
representatives and agents abroad and
reports from naval officers relative to
the slave trade in 18S4-S5, has recently
been published by the English Govern
ment. The countries dealt with in the
book are Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Per-
sia, Portugal, Turkey and Zanzibar.
The accounts from Brazil show that
both slavery and the sale of slaves were
greatly on the decrease. 1t was
reckoned that in April. 1884, the num-
ber of slaves was 100000, and this
was continually decreasing, chiefly by
means of emancipation or ransom. In
Egypt, as Sir. e. Barring informed Earl
Granville, up to the end of January,
18S4-the period in question appears tc
begin with our occupation-the total
number emancipated was 1886. From
Morocco Sir j. III. Drummond Hay
sends very painful story. The num-
ber of slave sales in the early part o1
1884 actually trebled in Morocco, and
complaint was made that some of the
slaves were mutilated in barbarous
manner, from which numbers of them
persisted in horrible agony. The
authorities declared simply that the
abolition of slavery could not be eff
fected. Some months later, however
the Sultan put stop to the public sale
of slaves. On April II, 1884, Sir j. HI
D. Hay informed Earl Granville tha
with the exception of the French Minis
ter, no foreign diplomatic officers hat
taken steps to prevent those under
their protection from holding or dealing
in slaves. Before the correspondence,
is concluded we find that the Danisl
and British agents have warned tn
| subjects of their respective countrie
| against the traffic. Complaint is mad
of the existence of slave traffic between
the Portuguese possessions in Eas
Africa and Madagascar and the Comor
| Islands

And granted what he asked.

That he had lost before.

And work and play went on,
But still he felt his youthful Zest
For toll Or sport was gone.
The lessons that were easy once
We're now more hardly done;
He felt himself the very Ounce
That he had called his son.
The blunders that he made of old
He now avoids at will;
But others. graver. deadlier, hold
Their ties about him still.
The lads around look on and quiz
This Solon gone to school
They think that all h 8 caution is
The wisdom of fool!
Things are not always what they seem;
And when the man awoke
From what was but fevered dream
In altered tones he spoke:
"Lifes rule is easily understood
We may not live again;
But boyhoods days for boys are good,
And manhood's days for meni"
