Geo. Anenstus SaIa-

George Augustus Sala, the well-known
English writer, on his last Australian
trip wrote as follows TO The London Teie-
graph:
I especially have pleasant re-
membrane OF the ships doctor-a very
experienced maritime medico indeed,
VINO tended me most kindly during a
horrible spell of bronchitis and spas
modic asthma, provoked by the sea fog
which had swooped down ON US just aft

neared the Tropics, and in particular, a

AZ will give it to her, Tom; you need
not bother. There, that's good fell
low, now" And she took the papers,
while Tom, pleased at her compliment,
turned and went down stairs, while she
crossed the broad, beautiful corridors
to her own elegant apartments.
"Ah! And these were in the box
that that strange, beautiful newcomer
came in. / will keep them for my own
use Just at present, for l am deter
mined, if possible, to find out who she
is. These papers may contain the de-
sired information.
The curious, cunning girl tore open
the seals and unwrapped the roll; but,
to her great establishment, her eyes
met nothing but blanks.
WELL Who ever in this world heard
tell of such thing? How very
strange! There must be some great
mystery connected with that beautiful
girl Can she possibly be a real adj
ventures :"
In her establishment she had dropped
the papers. She stopped to pick them
up, with shrug of the shoulders, and
a chuckling, low laugh ran through the
room.
at makes no difference to me what
she is, for certainly Aunt Marguerite
will not allow her to remain here long
er than is necessary. She will soon be
able to leave here, and [ need never
fear anything in any way.
ooh, won't / have jolly time,
though, when Raynard comes home. n
"To the opera we shall go; and, yes,
every place of amusement, and, oh, my |
that grand ball we are to have on
Christmas! That Will be perfectly de-
hcious; no one can waltz as nicely as
|, and Ray will waltz with no one else.
| do not want that girl here Some
thing tells me something Will happen
if Auntie does not send her right away.
"Ohl OH What if, when Ray comes
homeland and-she should be here
and, OH / dare not think of it, 1t
would kill me, i believe, kill me but
pshawl L know he would not be so
foolish as to care at all for such as she.
Only little tramp, if not an adyen-
turess.
She then went to the CRATE, and
stood with clasped hands looking down
at the bright Goals, while in her own
mind she was building bright and tow
ering castles for the future. She hoped
to be mistress of the Bristol mansion
some day, and even now looked upon it
as her own.
Il know Ray loves me, because he
acts just so. If that little tramp does
stay here, what need | fear?" And with
a naughty toss of the head, she rang
for her maid to dress her.
That was her day for shopping, and
as it was so lovely outdoors, she would
start early.
Under Mrs Bristol's careful nursing,
Lenorl grew rapidly better, and in a
weeks time the Doctor said she would
be able to leave her bed. OF course
the kind woman was greatly pleased
over her pet patients convalescence,
but never once had she asked her any
thing about her past life, or even her
name.

THE FARM.
Painting Barn Roofs.

If paint be put on as a preseryative
rather than for mere ornamentation, the
roof should not be left implanted. 1t
may not be seen, but the action of rain
falling upon roof is much more in
furious to shingles implanted than it can
be on the sides and clapboards of n
building. The falling drops cause the
fbres Of the wood to break, making a
fuzzy surface, which holds water and
induces decay. Paint entirely prevents
this so long as it lasts. 1t is cheaper to
keep the roof covered with some mex
pensive paint than to have the labor aud
expense of renewing shingles every few
Years.

THE UNsPOKEN WORD.

What silence we keep, year after year,
With those who are most near TO us and dear;
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak of myriad things, but seldom say
The full sweet word that lies just in our reach
Beneath the commonplace Of common speech.
Then out Of sight and out of reach they go
These close, familiar friends who loved us SO;
And sitting In the shadow they have left,
Alone with loneliness, and sore bereft
We think with vain regret of some kind word
That on we might have said and they have

A Question of Health.

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL WE USE?
This plain question comes home to every
housekeeper. We all desire pure and whole
some food, and this cannot be had with the
use of impure or poisonous baking powder.
There can be no longer question that all
the cheaper lower grades OF baking pow
ders contain either alum, lime phosphate
acid As loath as we may be to admit so
much against what may have been some of
cur household gods there can be no gaiusay-
ing the unanimous testimony Of the official
chemists Indeed, analysts seem to find no
baking powder entirely free from some one
of these Objectionable ingredients except
the royal, and that they report as chemically
pure We find some of the baking powders
advertised as pure to contain, under the tests
of Professors Chandler, Habrshaw and
others, nearly u per cent of lime, Willie
others are made from alnm with no cream
Of tartar This, we presume, accounts for
their lack of leavening power as sometimes
complained of by the cook and for the bitter
taste found in the biscuits so frequently COM
planned Of by ourselves
But aside from the inferiority of tie work
done by these powders the physicians assure
us that lime and alum taken into the system
in such quantities as this are injurious
Their physiological effects are indigestion,
dyspG psia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do these
cheap baking powder makers use these
things? Alum is three cents a pound, lime
still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs
thirty-6ve or forty. The reasons for the
chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder
were recently given in the Nee York Times
in an interesting description ofanew method
for refining argols, or crude cream Of tartar.
It seems that it is only under this process
that cream Of tartar can be freed from the
lime natural to it and rendered chemically
pure; that the patents and plant for this cost
the Royal Baking Powder Company about
half a million dollars, and that they main
tain exclusive control of tile rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief chemist
of the Department of Agriculture, at Wash.
ington, D. C., made an examination of this
process, and reported upon the results at
tanned in the refined cream of tartar The
following extract from his report would seem
to answer the question repeated at tile head
of this article, and which is 50 frequently pro-
pounded by the housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream of tartar used
by the Royal Baking Powder Company in
the manufacture of their baking powder, and
find it TO be perfectly pure and free from
lime in any form. The chemical tests to
which I have submitted the Royal Baking
Powder prove it perfectly healthful and free
from every deleterious substance. The
Royal Baking Powder is purest in quality
and highest in strength of any baking pow
der of which have KNOWLEDGE

Close shave.

The Froetown Crossing near Clayton, came
very near being the scene OF another dread
ful calamity ON Friday morning last. The
facts are given by the gentleman himself
aud are as follows: Mt Samuel J. Watts was
coming towards town about 80 O'Clock a.
M. aud after awaiting the passage Of south
bound freight train, he started to cross the
track and was not aware of the presence of a
north-bound train until his horse was nearly
on the track, when the train rushed by only
about two feet distant from the animals
nose His horse being somewhat hard in
the mouth, Alr Watts says it took his utmost
strength 10 sufficiently check and turn the
a1imais head, thus preventing his being
struck by the on-rushiug train. Mr.. W. was
somewhat nervous over the incident for
more than "a hours. He considers his
escape miraculous.
