A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
What Baking Powder shah We User

This plain questisn comes home to
every house-keeper. We all desire pure
and wholesome food, and this cannot be
had with the use of impure or poisonous
baking powder. There can be no longer
a question that all the cheaper, lower
grades of baking powders contain either
alum, lime or phosphate acid. AS loath
as we may be 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. analysts seem to find
no baking powder entirely free from
some one Of these Objectionable ingredl.
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 some
times complained of by the cook, and
for the bitter taste found in the biscuits
so frequently complained Of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these baking powders, the
taken into the system in such quantities
as this is 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
u 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 IN
teresting description of new method
for refining argols. or crude cream of
tartar. It seems that it is only under
this process that cream of tartar can be
freed from the lime natural to it and rem
dered chemically pure; that the patents
and 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 chem
ist of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., made an examination
OF this process. and reported upon the re.
suits attained in the refined cream of tar
tar. The following extract from his re.
port would seem TO answer the question
repeated at the head of this article, and
which is so frequently propounded by
the housekceper:
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 it per-
fectly healthful and free from every de-
leterious substance. The Royal Baking
Powder is purest in quality and highest
in strength of any baking powder of
which have knowledge"

HOW FREE TRADE WORKS.

To tho Secretary Of the Home Market Club
Boston,:
DEAR S1R:-Thanks for the papers you
have sent me. Twas in America for about
two months last summer, sent over by
our association, to see for myself whether
the working classes of your country were
better off under protection than we are
under free trade, and the conclusion
came to was this:
That any person who has to earn liv
ing in America as producer must first
become crazy before he becomes free
trader and the farmers must be the
craziest of the whole lot to think of such
a thing. Before any of your working
men (either engaged in manufacturing or
agriculture) talk about free trade. let
them send one of their number over here
to see what it is doing for this country;
let him walk about for six months look
ing for job until his coat gets ragged
and his shoes get thin, and he gets the
thinniest of all, and everywhere he asks
for work he will be told that the Germans
and Belgians are dong it cheaper than
he can do it, then let them send for him
home again and hear what he says about
free trade.
If it is the surplus revenue that is caus-
ing the trouble, send it to some free trade
country. You never knew them to haye
surplus; or, if you don't like to do that,
take 1t out to sea and sink it, or bury it,
or burn it, or do anything, in fact, rather
than adopt free trade; that is to say, if
you do not want foreign competition to
ruin your manufacturing industries, and
by so doing ruin your farmers by robbing
them of their home market.
Yours truly,
H. j. PETT1FER,
electro Plate Worker
Secretary Workman's Association for
Defense of British Industry, 1874 Water
loo Road, London, England.

EDUCATIONAL.
O. D. BELDHN. HDIrOR.

+ What COnstltutos Succossful Toaching7
l, A teacher should have good men.
tai outfit He should be we'll informed,
and to his stock Of information there
should be daily additions from varied
sources. He should especially read books
and papers devoted to educational work.
Better read too much than too little.
Q. Discipline in school must be main.
tanned at any cost. The teacher must be
master in the school room. Theoretically,
the speaker was opposed to corporal pun
ishment; practically, he did not express
a positive opinion. But the teacher must
control the school. @.t .s5. 3. a
8. The teacher must be persistent in
exacting thorough work. Acareless ever
sight on the part of the teacher does not
tend to exactness on the part of the
pupil. Vigilance should not be relaxed.
nor what are termed small things be over
looked. .-.....
4. All mathematical problems, how.
ever simple. solved by the pupils, should
be explained by them, that the teacher
may be assured the problems are thor
oughly understood.
s. The teacher should avoid telling
the pupils too much when questioning
them. They should be compelled to de.
pend upon their own ingenuity and draw
upon their own resources as much as pos
sible. 1t is thus they receive benefit, and
grow in mental power.
6. In giving directions to his pupils
with regard to work to be done, the
teacher should not find it necessary to re.
peat. The pupils should be disciplined
in the matter of giving quick and lntelli-
gent attention to every remark made to
them by the teacher. So valuable time is
saved and a good habit cultivated.
7. Very long lessons should not be as
signed. Better too short than too long.
When very long. the preparation cannot
be thorough. Parents are largely to
blame for the fault of long lessons. Too
many of them have the idea that getting
through book is equivalent to master
ing its contents. But the teacher should
go slow enough to do thorough work.
8. In questioning pupils, the teacher
should be patient Give them time to
comprehend the question in every in
stance. Put it in different form only
when assured that the first cannot be
understood. The art of questioning IS a
somewhat difficult one to acquire, but is
of very great Importance. A question
may suggest the answer or it may be so
obscure as to confuse the pupil. The
former error is most common and should
be especially guarded against.
9. A teacher should not talk too much
in the school room. He should not talk
much about discipline, and the children
should do NEST of the talking abou: the
lessons. He should also be very judici-
Gus in according praise or blame. Com
pliments should not become cheap, nor |
should censure become too harsh.-Edu !

One Hundred Thousand Farms

Under the enlightened and progressive
policy of it's Executive and Congress, the
Republic of Mexico during the last few
years has granted concessions to promote
the development and settlement of that
country so richly endowed by nature in
the resources OF the soil, the forest, field
and mine, and blessed with all the advan.
tages of a salubrious climate and geogra-
phical location.
One of the most important and valu-
able of the concessions has been secured
by the Mexican Land and Development
Company whose advertisement appears
elsewhere, by which is acquired the owner
ship of one third of the public domain in
the state Of Tamaullpas, amounting to
several million acres including agricul-
tural, mineral, timber and grazing lands.
Tamaulipas is the eastern State of
Mexico, and is bordered by the Gulf of
Mexico and the Rio Grande River, its
northeast corner beng opposite the city
of Brownsville. Texas, thus Immediately
many portions of the state that are not
surpassed in fertility and beauty any
where in the world. The climate is salu-
brious, with all average rain fall for ten
years of thirty three inches per year. the
soil is rich, and it abounds in valuable
timber and large deposits of iron, oil, coal
and the precious metals. Still in it's
primitive condition there is an opening
here for all industries from the smith shop
to the great iron, cotton and wooden fac
torres. From the primitive wagon road
to the iron horse and steel rail; from the
Wild animal of the forest to the high bred
c3dtle and sheep of the field; from the
primitive methods of agriculture to the
steam plow and mower and reaper; from
the common huts for human habitation
to the prosperous farm house and the
thriving town and city; from the condi-
tons of the sixteenth century to the civil
ization of to-day.
The ultimate results of this enterprise
with intelligent management must be
marvellous, and the stock Of the company
now offered for sale is simply to secure
funds for their full realization. One of
the largest blocks of the most valuable
agricultural land in the world, great tracts
Of timber. large bodies of mineral land, !,
vast oil fields, sites for towns and cities
are acquired with an opportunity for
building and operating railroads, steam
ship lines, and other public works.
