WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL WE
U0E3

This plain question comes home to
every bousek eeper. 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
grade of baking powders contain either
alum, lime or phosphate acid. As 10th as
we may be to admit 30 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 ingre-
dients 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 Profe.
Chandler, Hsbirsbaw and others, nearly
twelve per cent. OF lime. while others are
made from alum with no cream of tartar.
Of leavening powder as sometimes com.
planned of by the cook, and for the bitter
taste found in the biscuits 30 fre quently
complained OF 6y ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority OF the
work done by these powders, the physi-
ologists assure us that lime and alum
as this are injurious. They are not de.
composed by heat, nor dissolved in mix
ing or baking. They go with the bread.
therefore, into the stomach, where their
physiological effects are indigestion, dys-
pepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
pound, lime still cheaper, while cream Of
tartar costs thirty ve or forty. The rea-
sons for the chemical purity Of the Royal
Baking Powder were recently given In
the New York Times In an interesting de-
scriptiOn Of q new method for refining
argols, or crude cream of tartar. 1t
seems that 1t is only under this process
that cream of tartar can be freed from the
lime natural to 1t and rendered chemical.
ly pure; that the patents and plant for
this cost the Royal Baking Powder Com.
pany about half million dollars. and
that they maintain exclusive control OF
the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist OF
the Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington, d. c., In the interests OF commerce.,
made an examination Of this process, and
reported upon the results attained In the
refined cream OF tartar. The following
extract from his report would seem to
answer the question repeated at the head
of this article. and which is DO frequently
propounded by the housekeeper:
II have examined the cream Of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
.pany In the manufacture Of their baking
powder, and fnd 1t to be perfectly pure,
and free from lime In any form. The
chemical tests to which have submitted
the Royal Baking Powder prove 1t per-
fectly heslthful, and free from every del.
eteriOus substance"

 And now comes the important question,
 "Are the reefs payable and are they likely to be permanent" The ffmain' reef has been proved to go fifteen dwts. te one ounce to the ton, but the Headers" are of extraor- dinary richness. The "Jubilee' crushed three hundred and twenty Seven ounces from one hundred tons, and the "Wemmer" thir- teen hundred ounces from little over one hundred tons. These should call sensa- tional and unreliable crushings, made in the interest of shareholders to "bull' the shares. In both these cases only the rich narrow leader was allowed to pass through the mill, care being taken that every piece of casing should be previously detached. The deepest shaft on these fields is only one hundred feet, so the permanency of the lodes has not yet been fully established. Experts, and their name is legion, assert that an average of one ounce to the ton will pay we'll on these fields, it being estimated that four dwts. will cover all expenses. Good practical mining mana gers are wanted. At present many of the properties are suffering from amateur mis- management Open workings are declared to be a mistake, and it is said that stopeing will have to be resorted to. These mines will suffer from water and pumps will be re- quired. The country for miles around being entirely bare, timber will have to be brought from Waterberg and other districts for prop- ping and timbering shafts. Coal has already been opened up seven hours distance on the Kip river, and in time will be delivered for about thirty shillings per ton. There is not the water-power here that Barbeton can boast of (where nearly all the machinery is driven by it), but sufficient will be found for the requirements of the plates. It will be some months yet before any practical results of these fields will be apparent. There are several companies established on sound ba- sis which will be showing results before the end of the year

An African Gold Field.


 From BaIberton I went on by coach to the Witwatersrandt gold fields. These may be described as the latest rush, and are situa- ted, roughly speaking, about three hundred miles west of Barberton and thirty-fve miles south of Pretoria The discovery of gold in this district is truly of a wonderful nature One might just as we'll expect to find gold on the Scotch moors as to find it here. This is undoubtedly country of surprises, and not centric distribution of it's mineral wealth On an elevated undulating plateau, six thou sand feet above the sea, ars situated those parallel lodes of gold bearing cement called "bankst." These so-called reefs have up to now been traced east and west for distance exceeding forty miles. A similar formation has been found over seventy miles to >the south, in the neighborhood of Potchefstrom and Klerksdorp, extending across the Vaal river for miles into the Free State. The credit of being the first discoverer is claimed by MT. Struben, who owns some land in the neighborhood of Pretoria, where, I am given to understand, he has fer some time been working some gold-producing quartz. During the mania of 1886 prospecting was going on all over the country, and MT. Stru- pen was the urhG man WnO QrOV0 @ DICK Into the "Randt." It was marvellous stroke of luck. The indications" were slight pebble ridges rising few inches above the surface of the surrounding soil. Trenches were cut from north to south across the reef forma- tions to depths varying from three to ten feet. exposing lines of bsnket of different widths, which have since received various designations. The favorite one at present is called the "Nain Reef," 8 body of cement varying from twelve to fifteen feet wide, with three or four attendant leaders of one to four feet in width. This is considered the richest as yst discovered; the "Jubilee," "Wemmer,n "Wemmer Extension," "City and Suburban, :" "Ferrieras" and other well- known companies are all situated on this lode This discovery was made in April, 1886. At that time the whole of this Wit watersrandt could certainly have been bought for a couple of thousand pounds. Three months later twenty thousand pounds would have bought the freeholds of all the farms. To-day the capitalized value of companies which have been hoated on the proclaimed lands exceeds one million sterling, and the Dutch government is drawing from this dis

But just one word, and this DOT trait is out of repose and is the face of quite another man. The change is like a flash of light. The big dark eyes, full of pa tient, weary expression, are luminous; the mouth, close and discouraged, expands into smiling curves, sweet and sympathetic; the whole soul ia in the face, and from head to foot Frank Stockton is the genial. respon- siye man. It is like brilliant burst of sun shine following cloud, suddenly and unex- pectedly. and therefore more delicious in surprise and beauty. Dark and quiet, MT. Stockton is the last man on earth to sug- gest the humorous in speech or writing. No human being would seem to possess less sense of the ludicrous, and he could not be associated with g hearty, healthy laugh, or expect to see or say funny thing.
 The scheme for the destruction of rabbits which M. Pasteur lately recommended to the farmers of New South Wales has, it is said,
 
 property near Rheims. The place was i'm fested by rabbits, which the gamekeepers were unable to exterminate either by ferrets or by shooting. N. Pasteur's famous bouil- lon was then called into requisition. His nephew, M. Loir, operated on the land by placing small heaps of hay, which had been damped with the bouillon made from the microbes of ''ehicken cholera" near the bur rows. Next day nineteen dead rabbits were found outside the holes. In a day or two after the interior of the burrows were laid bare and scores of the animals were found dead. The experiment so far has been tried on a small scale, and simply proves that rab- bits have been exterminated more easily by the bsuillon than by using ferrets or by plac- ing ordinary poisons near their runs. Whether the scheme can be of practical use in the antipodean colonies, where rabbits are almost as thick as leaves, remains to be de- termined. M. Pasteur's communication to the Institute on the result of his experiments at Rheims will no doubt throw further light on the capabilities of his newest scheme for the benefit of agriculturists.

TWO DECIaInNS.

There is no doubt that the interstate com merce commission does some work. And on the whole it's work has thus far had pretty made last week have been and will be more or less generally criticised.
 One of these decisions deals with matter which has puzzled everybody who has tried to understand it. The commission finds that the difference in Boston and New York local freight rates from the West is not unjust dis crimination. It says that the export rates through Boston are not made equal with the New York rates because the conditions of transportation are alike, but in difference to the laws of trade and the interests of com- mercs and with the view to put Boston on an equality with the various other seaboard cit ies in respect to the foreign trade, upon which the railroad rate from the interior is regarded as part of the general through rate to foreign markets. The differences between the Bos- ton local rates and New York have existed for many years and have been maintained on the ground that the differences in the condi- tions of transportation justify higher charge to Boston proportioned to the value of the service.
 This is clear. The other decision is still more interesting. Tue commission holds that petitioner, a colored passenger on the defendants road between Atlanta, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, who had paid first class fare, was subjected to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage in violation of the third section of the act to regulate commerce in being compelled tc travel in 8 car of inferior accommodations, ot which only one-half was assigned to colered passengers, the other half being used as smoker for both white and colored passen- gers, and that it is the duty of the carrier, under the law, to furnish to passengers pay ing the same fare equal accommodations and protection without discrimination on the ground of color. But if separation of white and cOlored passengers is expedient. for ade- quate reasons, such separation is not unlaw- ful if the accommodations and comforts for colored passengers are in all respects equal to those for white passengers paying the same fare.
 Thus does the great cause of civil rights for the negro progress. He can be kept out of the white mans car if he is put in one equal ly good. If this is the meaning of the law then there has been long misapprehension of it.

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in it's destructive force stands nextto and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is there fore singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease should not make it the object of their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies con cocted by ignorant pretenders to medical know ledge have weakened the confidence of the great majority of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to life of misery rather than nurture themselves with doubtful palliatives
 But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and cembated with all our might. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose. the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting affected to be useless the uvua SO elongated the constant and distressing cough
