Official Analysis of Baking Powders
Adulterations n Cream Of Tartar.
Under the direction of the New York
Board of Health, eighty-four different
kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for
sale in the State, were submitted to
examination and analysis by Prof. @.
f. Chandler, member of the State
Board and President of the New York
City Board of Health, assisted by Prof.
Edward G. Love, the we'll known Unit
ed States Government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many
of them to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use in
the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
pies. This drug is employed i'll baking
powders to cheaper their cost The
presence of lime is attributed to the
impure cream of tartar of commerce
used in their manufacture. Such cream
of tartar was also analyZed and found
to contain lime and other impurities;
in some samples to the extent of SO per
cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market
with the single exception of "Royal"
mot including the alum and phosphate
powders, which have not the virtue of
even an impure cream of tartar), are
made from the adulterated cream of
tartar of commerce, and consequently
contain lime to a corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure is the
Royal This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream of tar

patent processes which totally remove

any other, and on account of this great.

EX-GOVERNOR BULLOCK, of Geor-
gia, the last Republican Governor of
that State, continues his good work of
spiking the guns of Northern Repub-
licans who want to make bloody-shirt
campaign this year. AS everybody
knows, Georgia is the State most de-
pended upon for figures by the Repub-
lican organs and stump-speakers which
argue that there is not "a free ballot
and a fair count" and that the Repub-
lican vote is suppressed, because few
ballots are cast for Republican candi-
dates. Ex-Governor Bullock meets this
charge fairly and squarely. He says:
"The fact that the ten Congressman
from Georgia were elected by $4,000
votes, and without opposition, does not
by any means prove that it was either
a dishonest vote or an unfair count. 1t
proves that there was no issue about
which our people contended, or upon
which we differed among ourselves"
Governor Bullock says that if the
issue of protection or free trade can be
made, "every man-white, black and
yellow-in Georgia will vote according
to his convictions, and the votes will
be counted as cast;" but that "if the
question in issue is the supposed sup

THE bill for Board of Pardons
passed the House at Columbus on Fri
day. The members are to be appointed
by the Governor. The bill deals largely
in instructions as to how the Board
shall proceed, but is considered meri-
torious measure, relieving the Governor
as it does from the most unpleasant
duty he has to contend with. The
Board shall consist of four members,
two from each political party, with the
Governor as a member ex-officio of the
Board. They shall meet quarterly, be-
ginning in January, and at such other
times as they may deem necessary.
The Governor is also authorized to call
them together when he thinks proper.
The Board is to thoroughly investigate
all applications for pardon and report
to the Governor.

THE DEAD LOCK IN CONGRESS

Continues and week has been frittered
away. 1t is to be hoped that it will come
to close today. The chief filibuster,
Representative Oates, of Alabama,
thus explained his position at the close
of some remarks the other day:
"This bill has provoked an agitation
in favor of refunding the cotton tax,
but no bill has been brought forward
and presented for that purpose. gave
notice (Which l do not recalD that If
this bill is to be passed | will, at the
proper time, offer that amendment,
We could at times since the considera
tion of this bill began have allowed it
to proceed to point in committee of
the whole where we might have offered
any amendment we saw proper, but our
opposition to the bill is such that no
amendment which can be adopted, eX-
cept it be to strike out the enacting
clause, can make it acceptable to us.
This bill is not before the house accord
ing to its rules and in the usual course
of procedure. 1t has not been reached
in its order on the calendar, but has, by
an unusual report from the Committee
on Rules, been placed before all other
business and held there to the exclusion
of all other business. In matter in
volying such vital principles of cOnsti-
tutionaF government as this involves,
and IN which the people are tenfold
more deeply interested than in the dis
tributiOn among the States of any
amount of money from the Federal
treasury, we feel that it is our duty,
though in the minority, to resort to
every legislative means which the
House allows"

These bills, as a rule, were simply in
troduced for buncombe, the authors
themselves not expecting nor wishing
them to pass. The Enquirer Washing
ton dispatch says:
OF these twelve bills introduced by
Ohio Congressman two passed through
Congress last session and were vetoed.
These were the bills appropriating
$4,000 for a building at Portsmouth,
and the other appropriating $4,000 for
a building at GAINESVILLE. SO far the
Portsmouth bill is the only one of the
twelve Ohio bills which has passed the
House. 1t is bill for Republican
district, and was passed to capture
Republican votes for bills introduced
by Democratic members 1t will
be noticed that no bills get through for
places located in close or doubtful dis
tricts. The probabilities are that the
Portsmouth bill will pass the Senate
with easy sailing, but that it will be
knocked in the head with the Presi-
dents veto club as soon as it reaches
the White House. The bill introduced
by Major Mckinley providing for the
erection of a $150,000 building in Can

are bills for GAINESVILLE and Hamilton,

MASSAGE.

In nervous prostration and WEAKNESS
from overwork the tendency of the
blood is to leave the arteries and
become engorged in the veins. Mas
sage, rightly employed, aids in the res
toration of the normal circulation, and
thus helps the system to right itself.
The patient is extended upon lounge
or bed, and the operator begins with
one foot, squeezing it gently with the
hands as though it was sponge filled
with water, and he squeezing the water
from it, and working always toward
the heart The hands of the operator
clasp the limbs with firm but gentle
grasp, and apply this squeezing, pinch
ing pressure all the way from the hands
and feet to where these limbs join the
body, not rubbing the skin, but pressing
and working the muscles under it,
The muscles of the chest, neck and
abdomen will receive the same treat
ment. Then the patient gives his back
to the operator. All adown the back
are large veins, and these become en-
gorged with blood. The operator
kneads and pinches and squeezes and
presses all the muscles of the back for a
long time until a pink tint flushes the
skin. All about the face, the neck, the
back of the neck especially, there are
many veins, and the muscles which
they traverse are thoroughly handled
until the circulation is free. The
patient soon begins to find relief and
sinks to sleep or into delicious d sposi-
ton to lie still and rest, which disposi-
tion should be encouraged as long as i

came across the wire. "Oh! perhaps

reply, "I'm sure it can't be that"

the anxious mother, "he doesn't act
that way "Then perhaps he's hun

and then all was still. The doctor
went back to bed and was soon asleep.
About half an hour afterward he was

of the telephone bell. Jumping out OF

ear, he was cheered by the following

Comfortable Houses THAT Are, Roughly
Speaking, All Of One Pattern.
Having strayed through the streets,
let us now penetrate into the interiors.
The houses are. roughly speaking, oil
OF the same pattern. They are built
round two, or sometimes three, sides
Of garden. with open arcades from
which the room is entered The stair
cases sometimes rise through the In
ner parts Of the building, sometimes
in arches in the open air. and they
terminate sometimes in corridor with
glazed windows, sometimes in a sec
ond arcade, or in n deep loggia. As n
rule the woodwork Is rude, and the
ceilings, upholstered, exhibit a row Of
rafters, backed by kind Of mating.
Here and there, indeed, is a house
where every Intel and door is carved,
and the ceilings are arabesques OF col
or; these, however, are exceptions.
But.the rooms are always numerous,
large and lofty; and they are con-
stantly broken by graceful arches,
which in the scarcity OF good
timber, help to support the roof.
Tho arches, too, which surround
the gardens, high, slim, and point
ed, are a really beautiful feature, and
stamp the scene with peculiar archi-
tectural character. These houses
cover considerable area. One In
which / spent several weeks, and
which in comparative size was mod
erate-even small, had a frontage to
the street Of a hundred feet, and n
depth Of two hundred; while, one, half
in ruins, which l had TO explore con-
tinually, must have enclosed within its
walls something far more than an
acre. Nothing can be imagined richer
in quaint views than the garden thus
secured, with the polished sky show
ing cloudless overhead, tall tower or
miuaret peering over the walls from a
distance. have said that the classi-
cal times left little behind them that
was above ground, but they have left
something. Here in the gardens,
amongst the green gloom Of the orange
trees, are fountains built out Of blocks
Of antique carved marble; violets will
be growing round n white Corinthian
capital; or stuck into the ground as a
careless border for a flower-bed will
be broken slab with the letters on IL
of an Hellenic inscription; and thus
through all ages Of history comes a
faint echo from a past that is beyond
the past.-InteriOr.
