Little Folks Chat.

A little boy, when he saw the old turkey
gobbler for the first time, seemed distressed
and said: ooh, mamma, somebody ought TO
tie up his nose it has all 'bleeded down on his
face and neck"
Little Harry, four years old, watched very in
tently while his father was looking for stray
gray hairs in his mammals head. At last he
thought he would assist in the search, when,
accidentally pulling out brown hair, be ex-
claimed, Put this back againp
Eddie went to his grandfathefs, in the coUn-
try, and there he saw for the first time, in the
barn-yard, some dear little pigs with curled-up
tails. He said to his father: Papa, | guess
somebody tied knots in the piggie's tail to keep
them from ravelling up" He had heard OF
knots tied in knitting work for this purpose.
Ellie's baby brother had soft spot in his
head, as all babies have. One day, while his
mother was bathing him, she said: Mamma, is
little buddie old enough to be ripeT Mamma
asked what she meant, and the little girl ans
wered: "You told me that the apples were ripe
when they got meller, and baby has got a real
meller head" Ellie had always seen the baby's
pink fists doubled up. One day while playing
with him he opened his hand and spread out
all the little fingers. Ellie was so pleased that
she called: "Oh, mamma, do come and see
how buddie's hand is 'bloomed OUT"

z FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK.
Ohicial Analysis of Baking Powders-Adul
terations in Cream of Tartar.

terat1OnS IN Cream OF Tartar.
Under the direction of the New York state
board of health, eighty-four different kinds of
baking powders, embracing all the brands that
could be found for sale in the state, were sub
mitted to examination and analysis by Prof. c.
+. Chandler, a member of the state board
and president of the New York city board
OF health, assisted by Prof. Edward g. Love,
the well-known U. 5. government chemist.
Rhe official report shows that a large number
of the powders examined were found to contain
alum or lime; many of them TO such an extent
as to render them seriously Objectionable for
use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples
This drug is employed in baking powders to
cheaper their cost. The presence of lime is
attributed to the impure cream of tartar Of
commerce used in their manufacture. Such
cream of tartar was also analysed and found
to contain lime and other impurities; in some
samples 10 the extent of % per cent. OF
their entire weight
All the baking powders of the market with
the single exception of Royal" (nOt including
the alum and phosphate powders, which have
not the virtue of even an impure cream of
tartar, are made from the adulterated cream of
tartar of commerce, and consequently contain
lime TO a corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by chemi-
cal analysis TO be entirely free from lime and
absolutely pure is the "Royal." This perfect
purity results from the exclusive use of cream
OF tartar Specially rellneu ana prepared Dy
patent processes which totally remove the
tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account of this
greater cost is used in no baking powder but
the "Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking
powders FOR the New York state board of
health as well as for the government, says of
the purity and wholesoneness of the royal"
81 find the Royal Baking Powder composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. 1t is a
cream of tartar powder of a high degree of
merit, and does not contain either alum or phOs-
pilates or other injurious substances.
Z. q. LOVE, Phi. D."
1t is highly satisfactory to the housekeepers
of this vicinity, where Royal Baking Powder is
in general use, that the investigations by the
analysts in Massachusetts, New York and
Ohio, the only states that have thus far taken
action upon this important subject, agree in
chasing it as the purest and most efficient
baking powder in the market

How the President Came to Buy the Pal

brown horses for exclusive use, and there

the Philadelphia North American. A man
in Richmond wrote a pathetic letter to
the president not long since, which by
some inadvertence on the part of the wise

In it the man went on to say that he had
married a young and beautiful girl three
months before, and had bought for her,
with many fond anticipations, pair of
horses, for which he had searched the
South over, and she drove them for few
short weeks, and then, on returning from
a drive one afternoon, died suddenly in
his arms from heart disease. He could
not bear to see these reminders of a
happy past any more, and Mrs. Cleveland
was the only woman into whose hands he
was willing to have them fall. He con-

give them to her, but he wanted her to

POtntOeS.

Planting should be done as early as the
season and conditio of the soil will per-
NIT. In Illinois this will vary from the
last week in March to the first week in
April, there being one TO two weeks diff
ference between the southern and north
ern portions. BY planting early the vines
will get large enough to shade the ground
before hot, dry weather. Very early
planted potatoes were about the only ones
that succeeded in Illinois last year.
Preparing the seed-Much difference Of
opinion prevails as TO the value of cutting
potatoes for seed, and in planting large or
small ones. The majority, however, favor
cutting them, as not only being more eco
nomical, but of positive advantage TO the
new crop. With seed potatoes this year
costing from 81 to 81 n bushel, the saving
by cutting will be very great. II kept in
a cool dry place IL will do no harm il the

Garden Beans.

There are few varieties of rcrops that
are grown in the garden that, with proper
management, will furnish supply for the
table as long as garden beans. If this is
done it is necessary to make several plant
ings of good varieties, and with a good
soil and good cultivation, a supply can be
secured from early summer until hard,
killing frost in the fall
For bunch beans there is quite a num-
Der of varieties to select from. Early red
valentine is one of the earliest; Lows
champion and prolific tree are good gold
en- wax and ivory pod wax are both good
wax BEANS while lazy wife's pole and
tlageolet wax, with Dreer's lima, will
make a large variety. If you only want to
plant three varieties / would recommend
Lows champion, ivory pod wax and lazy
wifes. BY making two or three paintings
q succession can readily be kept up.
\ rich soil is not usually considered
necessary for beans, yet if an early crop of
tender beans is wanted it will usually pay
to select reasonably rich soil. Do not
plant until the danger from frost is past,
as the plants are easily injured by frost,
especially SO in the spring. Prepare the
soil in good condition by ploughing and
narrowing until fine and mellow. II the
cultivator is to be used in giving the neces-
sary cultivation, work out the rows about
three feet apart and drop two seeds in
each hill with the hills not closer than one
foot.
