counterfeiting aIBaking Powder.

The public is toosswell informed as to
the danger from alum baking powders
to need any caution against using them.
1t is, nevertheless, fact that many of
our most prudent and careful house
keepers are, without knowing it, using
these deleteriOus articles daily, and
from them preparing for their families
food which, were they aware of its
nature, they would not offer to beg
gar. Baking powders made from
burnt alum cost less than four cents
pound. When these can be worked off
in place of the Royal Baking Powder,
and sold for forty or fifty cents pound,
there are many manufacturers and
dealers sufficiently unscrupulous to
do it.
A favorite method of selling these
poisonous alum baking powders is by
placing them in an empty Royal Bak-
ing Powder can and weighing them out
in small quantities when the Royal
Baking Powder is called for by Gus
TONERS. The grocer, if questioned,
claims that he buys in large packages
at lower rate, and is thus able to sell
below the price of the goods in small
cans. All baking powders sold in this
way are entitled to suspicion. Analy-
ses of mauy of them have been made
with view to prosecution, and in all
cases they have been found largely
adulteTated and generally made from
poisonous burnt alum. This is selling
counterfeit goods, and is, of course, an
Offense against the law, We are glad
to know that the Boyal Baking Pow
der Company have taken the matter in
hand, and are acting in way that will
protect the public from the swindle.
The surest protection from this fraud
is for the hOusekeeper to buy the bak-
ing powder of the brand she wishes in
the original unbrOken package, looking
carefully to see that the label has not
been tampered with. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company announce, what
is well know, that their goods are
packed for the convenience Of consul
mers in cans of various sizes, but are
never sold in bulk, by the barrel, or
loose by weight or measure. The cans
are securely sealed with the company's
trade mark label, and the weight Of
each package stamped on the cover.
Any baking powder being peddled out
by weight under the name of Royal
they denounce as bogus and to be
avoided
Consumers should bear these facts in
mind if they do not wish to have i'm
posed upon them the poisonous alum
stuff that is being prOfusely distrib-
uted throughout the country under the
name Of baking powder. II, however,
they buy the Royal in cans with un-
broken labels, they are always sure of
using a baking powder perfectly pure
and wholesome, and of the highest test
strength and efficiency.

ADAMS COUNTY GOLD FIELDS.
Excitement Still High, and Operations


Excitement Still High, and Operations to
BE Resumed Shortly.
WINCHESTER, o., March 13.-For several
reasons operations have temporarily ceased
at the gold mines opened near Mineral
Springs, this county. But the tireless pros
pector is still haunting the surrounding Aills
and every man you meet from that vicinity
has his pockets full Of rocks New leads
have been found on the farms of James, John
and Willis Smalley and the gold bearing
quartz has been picked up in jefferson town
ship, Scioto county.
Mr. Greathouse writes from Covington,
Ky, that the four and one-half tons of
quartz shipped to the smelter there has pro
duced 1872 pounds of bullion which, when
separated realized fifty two ounces of gold;
100 acres in the field has been sold to Gin
climate syndicate for $1,000, aud Mr.. James
Smalley, owner Of another tract Of land in
the same regions, has been offered 81 500 for
the mineral privileges on the farm. There
is still high excitement over the gold dis
covery, and work will be resumed in a few
laVs

Effects of Climate.

We hear a great deal said about the
beneficial effect upon invalids OF the
climate of Colorado and other Western
localities, but when a man changes his
place of residence in the hope of i'm
proving his health without first trying
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
he makes a great mistake. In nine
cases out of ten he might save his time
and money. This great remedy owes
its power over all affections of the
throat and lungs, bronchitis, asthma,
catarrh and even consumption, which Is
lung scrofuia, to the simple fact that it
purifies and enriches the blood and in
vigorates the debilitated system.

future work AS he used to drive through
the principal streets Of st. Petersburg he was
filled with horror at the cruelty to horses
casions he would stop his own carriage and
expostulate with some brutal driver His
interference was generally successful.
The Russian drivers would be terrified
when they saw carriage OF state stop, and
received a sharp reprimand from the uni
formed representative Of great govern
ment This absurd Russian awe Of govern
mental authority enabled Mr.. Bergh to carry
on his humane work without the assistance
of any law or organization.
In 1866 Mr. Bergh returned to New York.
He was gentleman Of property and leisure,
and be determined to devote himself to de-
Tending the rights of animals He called
meeting Of those in sympathy with him, and
secured the financial backing Of several men
of wealth One of these, Mr.. Elbridge
Gerry, gave not only his financial support,
but his moral and political support, becoming
an avowed advocate of Mr.. Bergh's plans.
Through his influence bills were car
ried through the legislature, making
wanton cruelty to animals punishable
offense.
For while the society which was organ
lied worked on in obScurity, but before the
year was over an event occurred which
made it one of the best-known institutions
in the city.
A cargo of turtles had been landed upon
the docks, and the turtles made fast by be-
ing turned upon their backs and having
spikes driven through their hippers. Mr..
Bergh ordered the arrest Of the captain and
the entire crew
When the case came up for trial newspa-
pers were full of it, Some of them ridiculed
the idea of bringing turtle into court" +"
The line of argument pursued by the defense
was that of ridicule. The counsel for the de-
fense even took the ground that turtle was
not an animal Mr.. Bergh pleaded his own
case. He took the broad position that the
wanton inhiction of suffering is a crime, and
that any created thing which feels is entitled
to protection. The case went against him.
but he had made his plea to the entire read
ing public, and had enlisted upon his side a
vast number of supporters
The work has gene on rapidly and pros
perously since, and the Society for the Pre-
vention to the Cruelty to Animals with
branches in every part of the country is a
legitimate outgrowth Of Mr., Bergh's noble
work

Benevolently Inclined.

Mr.. A. Kountze, an immensely
wealthy citizen of New York city, ar
rived in the city Saturday and stopped
at the Barnett. His object in coming
to this place is one Of benevolence; 1t
being his avowed purpose to erect a

day afternoon and he was driven to
the place that he might look over the

Tie Height of Waves.

1t is a very common phrase to
speak of the waves as running mount
aims high during storm; but this
really means nothing. Accurate
measurements made by Scoreaby,
proved that during storms, waves in
the Atlantic seldom exceed 43 feet
from hollow to crest, the distance be-
tween them being $50 feet and their
speed 32l miles AN hour. More re-
cent observations in the Atlantic give
from Al to 4S feet rs the highest
measured waves. But such heights
are very rarely reached, and, indeed,
waves exceeding 80 feet are very sell
dom encountered. Tie monsoon
waves at Kurachee breakwater works
were found to dash over the wall to a
depth Of about 10 feet, or about 40
feet above the mean sea level. The
greatest height or Wages on the Brit
ish coast were those observed in Wick
hay-famous for the exceptionally
heavy seas which roll into it-being
373 to forty feet. Green seas to the
depth Of Is feet poured over the par
apet Of the breakwater at intervals of
from seven to ten minutes, each wave
it is estimated being a mass of 10000
tons of water, and this continuously
for three days and night. During
heavy storms the Wages used to rise
high above the top of Smeaton's Ell
dystone tower, while the Bel Rock
seas with easterly winds, envelop the
tower from base 10 balconya height
of 400 feet.
