Counterfeiting a Baki ng Powder.

The public is too well informed as to
the danger from alum baking powders

keepers are, without knowing 1T, using
these deleterious articles daily, and

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 for
ty 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
nIacinp them In an empty Royal Bak-
inc Powder can and weighing them out
in small quantities when the Royal
baking Powder is called for by custo-
mers. The grocer, If questioned, claims
that he buys in large packages alta low
or rate. and is thus able to sell below
the price of the goods in small cans. All
baking powders sold in this way..are en-
titled to suspicion. Analyses of many

Royal Baking Powder Company have
taken the matter in hand, and are act
ing in way that will protect the pub
lie from the swindie.
Tbs surest protection from this fraud
is for the housekeeper to buy the bak-

carefully to see that the label has not

"a poem read at the Exhibition Of st. Xayie
College, in Cincinnati, Wednesday, February 40
q the Odeon in honor of Washington's birthday
written by resident Of Napoleon.
Once more, once more 1t is with us.
Our nations proudest day,
And from every vale and mountain
Within Columbia's sway,
hymn Of grateful gladness,
With swelling tone sweeps on
In one grand myriad chorus
OF praise to Washington.
1t sings In notes exutant
OF how In that doleful hour
When our country's night was darkest
And her fate in q tyrants power,
Up leaped the dying embers
OF hope to living lame,
And out flashed Freedoms falchion
At the mention OF his name.
AMI as its Joyous echoes
Rolled on to dist lands,
Forth rushed from France chiyalric,
With eager outstretched hands
Great LaFavette's brave lpgiors;
Whilst many valiant son
From Poland and from Erin
Focked round our Washington.
1t tells how fair Columbia
Uplifting from her chains,
He wreathed with martial trophies
From Princeton and Monmouth plains,
And from glory to glory still led her
Till her triumph was complete,
And Albion from Albion
Lay PROSTATE at her feet
Triumphant, aye, triumphant!
From east to western shOre
Behold her sovereign mistress :
Her champions task is oer,
But no for among the nations
Her rank was not yet won,-
And eaven had decreed the loftiest
For the home of W ashington.
Tis few short years Of toiling,
Up the hill of fame they 60,
And he seats her on the summit,
All rivals left below;
And Europes realms are startled
As they look with mute amaze
To where her queenly grandeur
Lights up its beacon blaze.
Then 'erawed they bow i'll homage
Before the stately mien
OF the maid they deemed so lowly,
1t seemed but yester cen
Low bow to Heavens favorite,
Whose morn though scarce begun,
Burst forth with noontide splendor
1.-THE word of Washington.
Beyond all deeds of valor
Our gad some hymn prcclaims
That unlike Rome's graeping Caesar,
He scorned ambitions aims,
And with grand old Cincinnatus,
Though sceptre met his hand,
Spurned power and regal title,
And with virtue blessed our land.
Oh, then ever let this pean
Find glad echo In our breast,
Let it thrill the utmost heartstrings
OF the nation he has blest
Aye, on every welcome dawning
OF this day, Us time rolls on,
Let freemen chant thy virtues,
o immortal Washington!

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
ehitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inhamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

tons of corn ensilage, allowing so

would be good appetizer. and If only

New Way Of Copying Letters.

A German journal gives the follow
ing process for making blotting paper
able to give copies of letters. Soak
four parts Of the best clear glue in a
mixture of five parts of pure water and
three parts of ammonia liquor until the
glue is thoroughly softened. Warm it
till the glue is dissolved, and add three
parts of granulated sugar and three
parts of glycerine, stirring the whole
well, and let it come to the boiling
point. While the mixture is hot paint
it with a broad brush on a clean white
blotting paper until the latter is
thoroughly soaked and a thin coating
remains on the surface. Let it dry for
two or three days, and it will be ready
for use. The writing or sketch to be
copied is done with the usual aniline
ink on writing paper. Before trans
ferring it to the blotting paper wet the
latter with sponge or brush and clean
water, and allow it to stand for one or
two minutes. Place the written side on
the blotting paper. A number of cop
les can then be made after the manner
of the graph" process from the blot
ting paper. When the impressions
grow faint dampen the surface of the
blotting paper again.-Cdssers Mago-
