What baking Powder Shall We Use >

as we may be Ia admit so much against

hold rods, there can be no gainsaying thc
unanimous testimony Of the official che
mis,s. Indeed, analysts seem To find no
baking powder entirely free from some
one of these Objectionable ingredients

chemically pare. We find some OF ihe
baking powders advertised Ms pure, It"
contain, under the tests OF Professors
Chandler, IIabirshaw aud Others, nearly
twelve per cent. Of lime, while others are
made from alum with no cream OF tartar.
This, we presume, accounts Tor 'heif lack

taste found in the biscuits so frequently
complained of by ourselves.
Bat aside from the infeIioriiy OF inc

clans assure us that lime An1 alum taken
into the system in such quantities as this
are injurious. Their physiological effects
are Indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse

The question naturally arises, why do

Curious Coincidances.

A London telegram relates an amusing
incident that occurred in Il case on trial
in one of the civil courts on Saturday.
One Of the attorneys in the case was Mr.
Henry F Dickens, son of the novelist, and
during the progress Of the trial he brought
down the house by calling as witness
John Pickwick. Quoth the presiding
baron: What an appropriate witness TO
be sworn for a DickensW This caused
immense merriment, which increased
when Mr. Dickens added: by n still
more curious coincidence the witness is a
descendant of Mr. Moses Pickwick, pro-
prietor OF the Bath coach, from which /
have reason to believe the character Of
Mr. Pickwick was taken, and ! verify be-
lieve that one Of the reasons why l was
retained in the case was that might call

In Iowa, for instance, the Legislature
has shown that every consumer of
hard coal has had to pay an advance
OF from 30 10 t5 ton owing to the
coal combination. The same extor.
ton has been practiced in lumber,
which has been "syndicated" and ad-
vanced. But powerful lobby
threatens TO defeat all legislation to
remedy these evils in Iowa. There
is no probability that anything will
