The large amount OF inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and alum
powders will be noted. This in the phos-
phate powders is largely of lime; in the
alum powders it is chiefly alum. 1t will
be gratifying to the public to observe
that the powder in most genefal use, the
Royal, is also the purest. In comparing
the first two powders on the list, for in
stance-the Royal and DR.. Price's-the
inert matter in Prices is seen to be about
five in seven more than in the fn--oor q
difference Of II AZ nor cont +bo Poro1
oeing purer than Prices by correspond
ing figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas produced
bp the powders indicates their strength !;
and their true value may by ascertained
by considering the amount of this gas
in connection with their inert matter or
residuum as shown above, The higher
the percentage of gas and the lower the
percentage of residuum the better the
baking powder. These percentages, as
found in some of the most familiar pow
dorS, are given as follows:

The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, Gen. S. Fl. Hurst, has made
public Circular No. g the results of the
Commissions investigation of baking
powder. This Commission was formed
by the Legislature, with instructions to
make an examination of the food supply
of the State, and to give report of such
examination to the public. The exami-
nation of the baking powders was made
by Prof. FL. A. Weber, State Chemist, and,
relating as it does to an article of daily
use in the food of almost every one, is of
particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought out
by the report, that of the thirty different
brands of baking powder analyzed, COM
posing about all those sold in the State,
twenty of them are made from alum,
substance declared by the highest medi-
cal authorities to be injurious to health
when used in food.
The Commissioner Classics the baking
powders into three general divisions, ac-
cording to their value:
1st. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders;
I'd. Phosphate Baking Powders:
Sd. Alum Baking Powders.
The Commissioner explains that the
best baking powder is that which, the in
gradients being healthful gives off the
largest amount of leavening gas and
leaves the smallest amount of residuum
in the bread. A small amount of carbon
ate of ammonia, which is considered
healthful, is used in some of the cream of
tartar powders to give them a higher
strength. The Commission say that alum
is undoubtedly a hurtful salt. The re-
port ranks the powders and shows the
amount in each of inert resultants, which
in using it would appear as residuum in
the bread, as follows:

With the foregoing explanation the
study of these figures will readily give
consumers knowledge of the compara-
tive value of the different brands. To il
lustrate with the percentages given the
two powders before compared; the Royal
containing lis parts of leavening gas to
10.5 in Prices, its excess of strength is 1.3
in 1O.5, or 12.4 per cent. Royal is there
fore 12.4-per cent. stronger, as well as Il
per cent. purer than Prices, etc. The
relative strength and purity of all the
powders can be computed in like manner.

From the following item, taken from
the Pittsburgh Leader it seems that our
old friend Maj. Caldwell has again tired
of single blessedness" The Majors
many friends here will be rejoiced in his
new happiness:
One Of the interesting spring weddings
was that of Major r. W. Caldwell, of
Jackson, o., and Miss Name Cunning,
which took place on Wednesday morning
at the residence of the brides father, in
Allegheny. The bride was given away
by her father and Rev. DR.. White, of St.
Andrews Episcopal church, performed
the ceremony. An excellent breakfast
was served, after which the newly we'd
ded pair left for the west on somewhat
extended bridal tour. Although a resi-
dent of Ohio, Major Caldwell is well
known among business men in Pittsburg
and other cities, where his many sterling
qualities are appreciated. The bride has
always been admired for her charming
manner and sunny disposition, and will
be an ornament to the social circles of her
new home. The presents, which were
numerous, were more than ordinarily
beautiful, but those from the groom were
especially elegant and substantial as well
being set,of diamond earrings, a check
for $500 and deed of house and lot.
Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell will be at home,
24S LacOck street, after Nav 10.

lWaverly Watchman.]

The editor of the Jackson Standard in
speaking of what the Watchman had to
say about Fred Grant in a recent num-
Der, asks to be informed on the "honor of
an Ingun," if the Watchman didn't once
upon time contribute ten cents to a
fund raised by Democratic girls, when
the Ohio statesman, Vallandigham, was
sojourning in Canada. Yes, sir, Mr.
Standard, we did that very thing. Yea,
Bro. Mackley, we even did more than
that. We contributed dollars to that
fund and assisted those noble Democratic
girls to raise fund of two hundred dol
lars in this county when the "Ohio states
man was sojourning in Canada" And to
be "honest Ingun" with you, Bro. Mack
ley, the Watchmun is proud to boast of
the act to this day, notwithstanding that
fund, like the Grant fund, assisted in
rearing to manhood degenerate son of
an illustrious sire," who should have died
that the fame of his father might live.

A Sample Case.

One of the larger establishments
in Paterson, \. j., is that OF Mr..
William Barbour, who makes linen
thread. He has IA establishment OF
a similar sort in Ireland where he
EMPLOYS $500 operatives. T5e pay
rolls of his Irish establishment and
American are about the same Ia
amount, although in Paterson there
are only 1,4O0 operatives. ia other
words, The wages here are twice what
they are abroad.
The finer grades Of threads are
made in ireland, and On the impor-
tation of these, al 40 per cent, a da-
ty Of about 100000 yearly is now
paid. If the duty is reduced as pro-
POSED by the Mills bill, from 40 to
% per cent, Mr. Barbour says be
will be compelled TO close his Pater-
son mills, snip bis machinery to Ire
land and conduct his operations
there. The duty then, at 25 per
cent, on all the thread will amount
10 about Sl5O,O00, or two and one
half times what it is now under a
40 per cent. tariff. The | 400 opera
tives in Paterson will be thrown out
Of work entirely.
This is only q sample case. The
Democrats say they want to reduce
the surplus. The Mills bill will not
do that. They say say they do not
want to lower wages or throw work
men out of employment. The Mills
