OF the past ten years. Onc-hat is Of high
quality and large portion of the remainder
Is fair. The English crop showed total pro-

This deficit has brought into Germany
swarm OF English buyers, who are purchasing
heavily inferior grades of the new German
crop. notwithstanding this, the market is

SACRAMENTO, Oct. goth.
The late rains had the effect of running late
Berries, consequently there arc none to be had
in the local markets except in very limited
quantities, and even the small quantities rep
resented are OF poor flavor. Peaches are about
done for, the seasons crop being almost ex-
hausted. Prunes are out of the market alto
gether, while Plums are in very limited sup
ply. Grapes are becoming scarce, and prices
in consequence have advanced. Apples are
plentiful though there are but few Of first
quality in market.
Vegetables are well represented, quotations
remaining the same as last reports.

pretty well cleared up and the markets had
only limited supplies on hand to-day, Geese

FOR PURE FOOD.
The San Francisco Board of Health No
tify Consumers Which is the Best
Baking Powder.

The San Francisco Board of Health No
tify Consumers Which is the Best
Baking Powder.
[san Francisco Chronicle.l
The board of health can engage in no
more laudable occupation than the ex-
animation of our food supply and the
instruction of the public as to those
articles it finds to be pure and whole
some, and which, therefore, consumers
should use.
There are quantities of baking pow
ders in the market to use which is GER
tain detriment to the health of the con-
sumner. They are made from alum, or
improperly compounded from other
chemicals, so that they leave strong
alkaline residuum in the food. Many of
these powders, having proved unstable
in the east, have been collected by their
manufacturers from the dealers with
whom they were left on commission,
and shipped to the Pacific coast. In
the effort to gain a foot-hold in this
market unscrupulous manufacturers of
these cheaply made. low grade baking
powders have INDUCED in extravagant
statements both with reference to their
own and other brands, claiming the
most improbable endorsements for
theirs, and defaming the brands best
known and longest used upon the Pacific
coast. This information from this high
authority is most apportune.
The strength in leavening gas indi-
Gates both the economical value and the
purity of a baking powder. The tests
made by Messrs. Thomas Price & Son,
the we'll known analytical chemists Of
San Francisco, show the Royal to con-
tain 19l cubic inches of leavening gas
per ounce OF powder, which was 81
inches more than the next highest in
strength. This shows the Royal about
thirty per cent. stronger than the best
of the other powders and its use that
much more economical.
The opinion of the board of health is
as follows:
We, the members of the board OF
health of the city and county of San
Francisco, cordially approve and recon-
mend the Royal Baking Powder. 1t is
absolutely pure and healthful, composed
of the best ingredients, of the highest
strength and character.
In our judgment, it is impossible to
make purer or stronger baking pow
der than the Royal.

He Was Thankful.

The disposition of some men to look
on the bright side Of everything was
illustrated on far-western road the
other day. An old gentleman had
been an attentive listener to the some
what remarkable experience Of his fell
low-traveers, breaking into the cul-
mination of each anecdote with pious
ejaculation of praise for some redeem
ing incident in the subject under dis
cussion. Finally they got to setting
matters up on the old man and telling
stories in which it was hard for him to
find anything to be grateful for; but
he managed to get there each trip UNI
til the boys were nearly at their wits
end.
But one of the worst l ever heard
Of" commenced one of the passengers,
winking at his companions to look for
smasher--' really the worst, was on
the Savannah & Pensacola road in 1872.
We ran into coal train and not soul
escaped. No, not a soull Every one
was killed!''
There was a moments pause, and
everyone looked at the old man to see
how he would take it.
Thank heaven!" he exclaimed, fer
vently.
"Thank heaven? What forp" de-
manded the relator of the story.
What are you thanking heaven for
now?"
ITO think that you were killed by
that train!'' calculated the old gentle
man, rolling up his eyes. IF you had
been spared what liar you would
have been by the time you reached your
present age! Thank heaven for thai
disaster!'
After that the boys let him alone

take advantage of 1t not once only,
but often. 1t is argued that If the
price is placed so high that the poor
man can't afford to go more than once
or twice the decreased attendance will
materially affect the value of the
money-making enterprises inside the
grounds, on each of which the exposi-
ton company expects what the boys
would call a substantial ''rake off. I"
More than this it is urged that the
main object of the fair is educational,
and that it should therefore be made
accessible at the lowest rate consistent
with business success.
FIRE PROTECTION AND INSURANCE.
Some time ago an alleged interview
with the minister of commerce OF
France appeared in European and
South American papers. 1t recited that
the exposition buildings were to be
flimsy structures, made wholly OF
wood and very innammable. Chief
Fearn of the foreign affairs depart.
ment answered the French officer
yesterday, setting forth the fact that
the buildings are partially fireproof,
being constructed largely of iron and
covered with staff, as was the case at
Paris; that he fine arts building is to be
wholly freproof, and that thoroughly
equipped fire department will at all
times protect the buildings and goods.
1t is said to be the intention to carry
insurance of 5000, 900 on bulldingg
and exhibits.

TWO alaska PRODUCTS.
The Canvasback Ducks Come South, and
Fortunately the Mosquitoes Eon't.

There is no more wonderful scenery
in the world" said Marcus Baker, Of
the geological survey to Washington
Star reporter, than is to be found
along the coast of Alaska as you go up
from Portland by steamer to Sitka and
beyond by the inside passage. Only
for small part of the way do you feel
the ocean swell at all, a continuous
archipelago of the islands forming
breakwater for hundreds of miles
against the waves of the Pacific, while
the vessel sails along in water as smooth
as mill pond. Along the mainland
mountains thousands OF feet high tower
precipitously up from the sea, covered
with dense timber, while here and
there great ford reaches up toward
the interior. The settlements so essen
tial to pictureSqueness are unhappily
lacking, save now and there an Aleut
village may be seen.
Upon reaching Stka you lind your
self in a much more equable climate
than that of Boston, its mean tempera-
ture being about the same, though it is
many degrees north of the latter point.
Pursuing your way northward along
the coast, you see now and then a gla-
cier reaching down to the sea. When
you reach the Yukon, if it is the proper
season, you will find countless myriads
of canvasback ducks disporting them
selves. That stream, together with
other waters Whereabouts, is the great
breeding ground, you know, for can
vasbacks, as we'll rs for many other
sorts of ducks and geese and swan.
All the canvasbacks that are shot on
the Chesapeake come from the Yukon
and its eighborhood. This fact has
been established as a certainty by OBJ
servation of their flights from various
points, their aerial course being by way
of the great lakes.
There are no snakes in Alaska, per.
haps because no snakes would live
there. The only frog ever discovered
by explorers there was found by my
own party some years ago. Probably,
however, there is no part of the world
where mosquitoes are more dreadful
than in Alaska. The soil is of a soft,
spongy character that holds water for
days after a rain, and the insects are
bred out of in such swarms that it
is hardly possible for man or any
other animal to exist among them.
They attack the moose with such fero-
city as to drive the beasts into the
river, where the natives attack them
with knives. Bears and reindeer are
plentiful. Perhaps the worst part of
Alaska is that to the northwest, south
of the Yukon river-crossed but once
by party of explorers, who nearly
starved to DEATH"

Hindoo English.

Some of the natives of India speak a
very bizarre English. One man during
an examination was told to write an
essay upon the horse, which he did in
the following brief item: "The horse is
a very noble animal, but when irritated
he ceases to do So" Another had to
write upon the difference between
riches and poverty, and he ended by
saying: I'm short the rich man well
ers on crimson velvet, while the poor
man snorts on flint" From Judge
Cunningham, well-known Anglo-In-
dian, came the following story in illus
tration Of Indian politeness: "A Judge.
who was a very bad shot, had been out
for days sport, and on his return the
man who went with him was asked,
Well, how did the Judge shoot to-dayp'
oh, he replied. the judge shoot beau
tifully, but heaven was very merciful
to the birda ,"
