From the Great Darlington, Mass, Courier.l
The Vermont PhwniX came to us last
week considerably enlarged and in new
form, having discarded the folio sheet for
the more convenient quarto, neatly pasted
and trimmed. 1t also has new dress of
type, and taken altogether presents "A very
attractive appearance. The PheniX is one
of the cleanest and most readable weeklies
that comes to our notice, and We congratu-
late it on its well deserved prosperity.

Good Things to Have.


The Bratteboro Phoenix appears in
seven-column quarto form instead of its
previous nine-column folio shape. BY this
change a large addition of space is afforded
which is needed to contain the increased
advertising patronage given the paper as
well as breezy news matter that has been
cramped of late. The Phoenix shows lots
of newspaper talent and energy.

1t is a disgraceful fact in connection with
the opposition of the high churchmen to
the confirmation of Phillips Brooks as bish-
op of the diocese of Massachusetts, that
anonymous circulars and pamphlets are be-
ing sent out from Boston which profess to
give information regarding DIR. Brooks's
opinions and standing that the secular
press does not care tOpublish. These opin-
ions are distorted in their statement, and
while aimed against the standing of DIR.
Brooks are at the same time intended to
further the ends of the high church party.
Warfare of this kind is something that DIR.
Brooks and his friends, and all friends of a
broad and uplifting religion, can well af-
ford to have carried on.

Since the passage of the Mckinley bill
there has been a steady pressure on the
Canadian government to remove the duty
on raw sugar. The government has finally
concluded to allow rebate on refined sugar
in Canada, thus placing the

those of the United States.

Principal Baker, of the jefferson

OF course. sometimes it might be less.
Miss Darragh, principal of Hendricks,
could not see how it would be injurious
to bright pupils because of their irregu-
lar promotion.
Principa. Farnsworth, of jefferson,
gave similar testimony. He had pro-
NOTED pupils similar to Mr.. Bryant.
Miss Stanley. another principal, testi-
fed to having promoted seventy-six
pupils. The pupils had given great sat
lSfaction. 1t was nothing unusual. 1t
was principals duty to advance the
pupils all along the line.
Mr.. Schetfer-And you take special
pride in this?

principal is very culpable, indeed, who
does not advance his pupils, boys es-
pecially, when they are twelve years of
age, TO advance them as fast as possible

The last report of the Minnesota State

the details of the State Chemists ex-

strength and keeping qualities of the
various baking powders. Samples of
the numerous brands on sale in this
state were purchased and first analysed
to ascertain their leavening power. The
Royal Baking Powder is shown by the
tests OF both state analysts, Prof. Eber-
man and Prof. Drew, to contain the
greatest amount of leavening gas of the
cream OF tartar powders thus purchased
and tested. Hence this powder is Off
cially ranked at the head of the list.

the use in their compromising of i'm

applied to large number of samples of
different ages of the three cream of tar

They showed the strength or leavening
power OF the Royal very much greater
than that of the others. The uniformity
Of strength of all the samples of Royal

power was practically unimpaired even

different samples of both the other
brands was so great as to seriously inn
pair their usefulness In baking. AS
much as "a per cent loss was found in
samples few months old. All the
samples of Royal examined by DR..
Drew were reported of satisfactory
strength and quality.
