A Matter Of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inhame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
tion, heartburn, diarrhoeal diseases.
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet unscrupulous man
ufacturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
dersso made, by all kinds of allur1ng adj
vertisements and Misrepresentation.
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and all powders sold
with q gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chem
ically pure cream of tartar and bi-car-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility end wholesomeness OF
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be ta-
booed entirely.
DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the
doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages Of a good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dam
gers of bad ones in whicE the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. sThe
Royal" he says, contains nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
4CAAO0 w q CACii1CbA Ou11bJ, W41Cu
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening, gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they are
combined in exact compensating
weights, SO that when chemical action
begins between them In the dough they
practically disappear, the substance Of
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas" Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes
It seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those of
well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, q few words of warning seem
to be necessary.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Hailstorms very rarely occur in
countries where there is a large growth
of timber.
Canada supplies nearly all the plum
bago used by American manufacturers
of lead pencils.
An attempt is made every three min
utes on an average by some one to
take his own life.
Scientists say that horses viii eat
eighty varieties of plants, COWS fifty
six and sheep $50 out Of 600 plants in
the test.
Durable bricks, formed chiefly Of
sawdust, are coming into use as build
ing material. With the sawdust are
mixed cement, lime and sand.
The fea's manner of breathing is
still an enigma to the entomologists,
but it is believed to perform that all
important function through two mi
mute holes in the palpi.
Certain physicians have been dis
cussing lightning, and have discover
ed, or think they have, that people
struck by lightning can often be re-
stored by artificial respiration, as in
the case Of the partially drowned.
The most widely-accepted explana-
tions of the maintenance of solar heat
are (1) that it is due to the ener-
gy developed by meteoric matter fall
ing on the sun, and ~ that it is pro-
duced and kept up by slow contrac-
tions of the SUMS bulk.
The utility of the mosquito has
been fully demonstrated by entomolo-
gists. Born and reared in pestilential
swamps, this insect does valuable
work by consuming animal and vege-
table matter, which if allowed to de-
compose. would still further poison
the air.
Comts Chardonner some years ago
invented process for the manufac-
ture Of silk from wood pulp by meth
cd similar to that employed for con-
verting wood into paper. Large works
were built at Besancon, and some re-
markable specimens of silk were
shown, but it WAS found that the fabric
could not be woven successfully, in
large pieces. and that it was SO highly
inhammable as to be . source Of dan

AN EXCELLENT STOCK.

An excellent stock is obtained from
roast meats by pouring into the drip
ping pan, just before the joint is done,
from a glass to pint of hot water, ac-
cording to the size and the quantity o.
the dripping. Turn into dish and
when quite cold there will be found a
glassful or more of pure meat stock
ready for enriching sauces or for i'm
