LANDGROvE.

Among the late arrivals in town arc
Mr.. Palmer and daughter from Low
ell, Mass, guests of j. S. and M.
A. Thompson; G. Batchelder of
Wilmington; Lewis Holt and two
daughters from Boston, visiting at
Elias. Abbott's; Henry Fem and
family, at his fathers, Austin Fenn's
and with other friends in town; l..
A. Woodward, son and mother-in-
law, Mrs. L. T. Whittle, of Somer-
vile, Mass. at A. Woodward's; Miss
Lizzie Aldrich of Somerville.
August the 10th the house of A
Woodward was discovered to be on
fire, and but for the perseyering eff
forts of his son, Laurin, who was at
home on visit, and the only man on
the premises, at the time, the house
would have, probably, bnrned to the
ground. Loss $50.
Miss Gratia Warner, whom we
spoke of last week as being sick, died

Aunt Gratia had been member of
Mr.. Warmers family before his ear
Hest remembrance, she was lady re-
spected and loved by all who knew
her. She had been sufferer for
many years, yet was always cheerful,
patient and kind, even to the last.
She was SO years old last March.
She will be missed both in the family
circle and by all who knew her.

tired in one, two and three order.
During the third inning, Pease got
in safe hit after two men were out
making two bases the way he climb
ed over the ground to second, and
gained third on apassed ball by Clay
ton, was sufficient to prove that the
club was properly named. Pierce
took his base by being hit by pitch
ed ball, looking as happy as clam,
while Pease came in and placed his
feet on the plate with meaning en-
phasis. The gas boxes in the crowd,
oheered, hooted and howled so that
the Umpire could not be heard and
he was compelled to turn Pease about
and head him back to third base.
This was surprise to the crowd and
there was silence till Peck got in
hit which sent Pease and Pierce
home. The howl was again raised
and lasted till all seemed exhausted.
The next man struck out. Clayton
I'd, was substituted in the next inning,
for Pease, and pitched a perfect
game striking out nearly every man.
No more scores were made on the
Terror's side during the remainder Of
the game.
The features of the game were the
gracefulness in which S. s., Drury,
took in the hot liners from the bat,
Arty Pease's fine catch and double
play, the serenity in which Pierce held
down 1st bag, fine catch of Holden,
and Woodcock's ability to get caught
mapping on 1st base and Bryant's
great agility to dodge and chase fouls
and pass balls. Score "A to 2. The
game, however, was won by the Ter
rors as they were to get one run to
win the game.
After the game the two clubs took
supper at the Holland House, and it
is needless to say they did justice to
the food. The Terrors carried off
the palm on the amount of food con-
sumed.

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
what Baking Powder shall We Use

what Baking Powder shall We Use
This plain question comes home t
every housekeeper. We all desire pur'
and wholesome food, and this cannot bI
Lad with the use of impure or poisonous
baking powder. There can be no loDge
question that all the cheaper lowe
grades of baking powders contain eithel
alum, lime or phosphate acid. As loatt
as we may be to admit SO much agains
what may have been some Of our house
hold gods, there can be no gainsaying the
unanimous testimony of the official
chemists. Indeed, analysts seem to fine
no baking powder entirely free from
some one of these Objectionable ingredi'
ents except the Royal, and that they re-
port as chemically pure. We find some
of the baking powders advertised as pure
to contain, under the tests of Professors
Chandler, Habirshaw and others, nearly
twelve per cent of lime, while Others are
made from alum with no cream of tartar.
This, we presume, accounts for their lack
of leavening power as sometimes COM
planned Of by the cook, and for the Bit
ter taste found in the biscnits so fire.
quently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiorty of the
work done by these powders, the physi-
clans assure us that lime and alum taken
into the system in such quantities as this
are Injurious. Their physiological
effects are indigestion, dyspepsia, or
worse evils.
The question naturally arises. why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents a
pound, lime still cheaper. while cream of
tartar costs thirty five or forty. The
reasons for the chemical purity of the
Royal Baking Powder were recently given
in the New York Times in an interesting
description of a new method for refining
argols, or crude cream of tartar. 1t
seems that it is only under this process
that cream of tartar can be freed from
the lime natural to it and rendered chem
ically pure; that the patents aud plant
for this cost the Royal Baking Powder
company about half million dollars.
and that they maintain exclusive control
of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie. late chief chemist
of the Department of Agriculture al
Washington, d. c., made an eXaminatiC
of this process, and reported upon the
results attained in the refined cream of
tartar. The following extract from his
report would seem to answer the question
repeated at the head of this article, and
which is so frequently propounded by
the housekeeper:
II have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder com,
pany in the manufacture of their baking
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure
and free from lime in any form. The
chemical tests to which have submitted
the Royal Baking Powder prove il per
fectly healthful and free from every del,
eterious substance. The Royal Baking
Powder is purest in quality and highest
in strength of any baking powder of
which have knowledge"

With such important functions as the

bodily disturbance. When it relaxes its
