Phosphates I'm Baking Powders.

Prof. H. C. White. State Chemist. Of
Georgia, gave this subject attention, and
wrote: 81 have been familiar for 4 number
OF years with the general character Of Prof.
Horseford's phosphate preparations. Re-
cent examinations made by me Of his bak-
ing powder show it to be exactly what 10
claimed for it. When mixed with water 4
double phosphate is formed and remains in
the bread when baked. In ordinary cream
tartar baking powders the substance left In
the bread after raising is rochelle salts
double tartrate. The phosphates are useful
substances in animal nutrition and growth.
the tartrates are not. In my opinion, the
phosphate powder is, therefore, preferable
to the others, so far as healthfulness is con-
cerned. octld&w In

Sir Charles Tuppsr's
Endorsement.
Speech delivered
April 10, 1888, in the
Dominion Parlis-
ment.
Mr.. Bsyard states
now and has stated
throughout, his great
desire to have the
freest commercial in
tercourse between US,
consistent with the
position and interest
of the two countries.
He says if we want
to see the policy Of
the Government of
the United States,you
have it in the Presi-
dents message to
Congress; there is
our policy. +"
l say, sir, after study
ing the policy of the
United States, of the
Democratic party, "
" after read
ing the Presidents
message, after read
ing the report of the
Secretary Of the
Treasury, after read
ing the speech of Mr..
Carlisle, the Speaker
of the House of Rep
resentatives, Htak-
ing the chair, | have
Come to the conclu-
sion that their policy
is just as close to the
policy of the Govern
ment of Canada as
any two things can be.
Remove this irritat-
ing cause of difficulty
between the two csun-
tries out of the way,
and you will find that
the policy Of this
government, the poll
cy of the President
and Of the House of
Representatives, the
! policy of the great
Democratic party Of
the United States
will at once take an
onward march in the
direction you propose ,
and accomplish stead
lily that which you
would desire in the
only way by which it
can ever be attained.
What have
we seen? The ink is
barely dry upon thi,
treaty before Mr..
Mills, as the repre-
sentative of the Gov.
eminent and the
chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and
Means, brings for
ward a measure to do
what? Why, to make
free articles that
Canada sends into the
United States, and
upon which last year
$780, 900 of duty
was paid.

SIR II am in re-
ceipt of your letter of
the 4th inst. +, and beg
to say that | fully APP
preeiate the difficulty
in which you find
yourself in casting
your vote. You are
probably aware that
any political party
which openly favored
the mother country at
the present moment
would lose popularity
and that the party in
power is fully aware
of this fact. The
party, however, is, l
believe, still DESTROYS
of maintaining friend
ly relations with
Great Britain. and is
still as DESTROYS of
settling all questions
with Canada, which
have been unfortu-
nately reOpened since
the retraction of the
treaty by the Repub-
lican majority in the
Senate, and by the
Presidents message,
to which you allude.
All allowances must,
therefore, be made
for the political stu
alton as regards the
Presidential election
thus created. 1t is,
however, impossible
to predict the course
which Presi d e n t
Cleveland may pursue
in the matter of re-
taliation, should he
be elected; but there
is every reason to be-
Eeve that, while up
holding the position
he has taken, he will
manifest a spirit of
Cancellation in dealing
with the question in
volved in his message.

Excepting the engineer, conductor and
trainmen, few people have any idea of the
vexation and annoyance which those in
charge of train, passenger or freight, are
compelled to submit to on account of tramps.
A prominent official of the Missouri Pacific,
in talking about the matter, says that fully
80, 600 of these worthless characters are all
the time plodding along the railroads of the
country. They are constant menace to the
safety of travellers, as well as the property of
the companies. Some of them do not hesi-
tate TO turn switches if they can find them
unlocked, and many accidents, were the
truth known, would be charged up to them.
They fire bridges, depots and fences, and not
only steal from cars, but make away with
heavy lots of iron. One of their favorite
practices is to steal handcars to help them
along in their journey.-Omaha Republican.

first see a Noah's ark, call it a house boat.

Costumes of Greek Women,

Though the Greek women in the towns have
almost entirely discarded their picturesque
national costumes, they are still worn in the
country. In some districts these costumes
bear great resemblance to those of the Bull
garians, though without their gaudiness of
color; in others they consist generally of a
skirt of brightly striped stuff, and an en-
brUidered cloth jacket, while for out-of-door
wear fur lined pelisse is added The hair
is braided into numerous tresses, and sur
mounted by a small red cap decorated with
gold and silver coins similar to those worn
as a necklace.-Boston Budget

THE GATES UNCLASPED.

The gates unclasped, the gold aisle ope'd to her,
She entered trembling, with her white robe
drawn
Across her shoulders, for the winds Of fear
Swept DER the pallor of the maiden dawn.
With falterlng steps, she slowly passed her on,
And as she went n hand outspcd to rest
A glowing cluster of warm roses red
Above the drapery crossed upon her breast
In vestal robes, wine roses on her breast,
She onward Sped when 10, upon her way
A sudden light burst, brilliant till with hands
Beclasped before her eyes the dazzling ray
She hid yet blazed it stronger still
Her veied eyes, plain caught the high, white
light,
When 10, a darkness swept, she glanced aloft,
Still in the aisle she stayed, but ii was-night
Pallid she stood, in shadowy robes of white,
All marble-Still; the roses red had paled,
They could not live in gloom, and SO in dust they
fell
From the proud heights, SO late their fragrance
scaled.
