Marion Harlands Opinion of Baking
Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions BY the scien-
lists and hygienists as TO the relative
value of the various baking powders.
A careful sitting Of the evidence leaves
no doubt a. to the superiority of the
Royal Baking Powder in purity, whole
someness and strength, from a scientif-
ic standpoint. An opinion, however,
that will weigh heavier than any other
with our practical housekeepers. is that
given bv Marion Harland the best known
and most popular of American writers
upon matters pertaining to the science
of domestic economy, of housekeeping,
and home cooking. In recent letter
to the Philadelphia Lddte. Home Jour
nal, this writer says:
II regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, so far as | have any experience
in the use of such compounds. Since
the introduction of it into my kitchen,
three Yeas ago. have used no other
in making biscuits. cakes. etc. and
have entirely discarded for such pur-
poses the homemade combination Of
one-third soda, two-thirds cream of
tartar.
Every box has been in perfect con-
dltlon when it came into nv hands, and
the contents have given complete salts

and alos pleasure. TO recommend it I'M

Habits IF Printers

MANY persons. without thinking,
take it for granted that personal iiab-
lis and pra tees. outside Of working
hours. do not in the least affect the
ability and worth Of operating mechau-
ics-that their outside habits have moth
ing to do with the development OF skill
or cultivation of taste. Instead of be-
ing true, this idea is removed TO the
tarthest possible distance from the true
state of AFFAIR.". and it has been the
means of working incalcuIable mischief
in permitting habits to 90 Oh and
strengthen which might have been
crushed out at the start if their danger
Gus character had been realized. Per-
sonal habits are as certain to influence
the every day work of persons as fire
is to burn or coal is TO blacken when
we come in contact with them. So true
is this that any intelligent and observ.
ing person could tell the leading char
acteristcs Of those around him BY
watching their methods of work au1 the
peculiarities Of the same; and he can
also Judge. with almost unerrine GER
tainty, of their methods of work aud
style of execution by studying their
habits and surroundings when off duty.
Printers should be very careful about
the habits and associations they form,
because their success depends in a
great measure upon the clearness of
their mental faculties, and their ability
to concentrate their thoughts upon
their work, without being compelled to
fight against the visions of other things
which will be sure 10 intrude themselves
on those who become addicted to one or
more of the habits that are common
among the working members of the
printing fraternity.-Cotonial Printers

Then you in quire if any of them has ever noticed the peculiar optical delusion there is about n billiard table, and proceed to illustrate by placing two balls within a few inches Ot each other near the lower cushion. Now fix your eyes on those two balls, you say to one of the bystanders, walk complete ly around the table. all the time with your gaze fixed on the halls, and as soon as you have completed the circuit of the table pick up cue and try to shoot this ball so as to hit those two The shot is such an easy one, and the whole matter looks 30 simple, that the bystander is quite ready to declare his ability to walk around the table a dozen times, if necessary, and make the carOm afterward. He Is also ready to wager the cigars that your op- tical delusion' won't delude him While he is walking about the table with his eyes fixed on the two balls, you, unOb- served by him, wet the tip of cue so that all of the chalk is washed CT, and hand this cue 10 the bettOr as he comes up.
