An Expert's Opinion.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien'
lists and h~ygienists as to the relative
value Of the various baking powders, A
careful sitting of the evidence leaves no
doubt as to the superiority Of the Royal
Baking Powder in purity, wholesome
ness and strength, from a scientific
standpoint. An opinion, however, that
will have perhaps greater influence
with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the we'll
known and popular writer, upon mat
tiers pertaining to the science of domcs'
tic economy, of housekeeping, and OF
home cooking. In n letter published in
the Philadelphia Ladies' Home Journal,
this writer says:
II regard the Royal Baking Powder
us the best manufactured and in the
market, SO far as | have any experience
IN the use of such compounds. Since the
introduction of it into my kitchen, |
have used no other in making biscuits,
cakes, etc, and have entirely discarded
for such purposes the homemade com.
bination of oue-third soda, two-thirds
cream OF tartar.
Every box has been in perfect condi-
ton when it camo into my hands, and
the contents have given complete salts
faction 1t is an act of simple justice,
ard also u pleasure, to recommend it
unqualiGedly to American housewives.

STEEL RAIL PRICES.

They Are Kept UP by the Duty and the
Trust.
The annual reports of the trade jour.
nails for the year just closed contain
some interesting figures concerning the
steel rail trade. The Bulletin, of the
Iron and Steel association publishes a
table OF the prices of certain products
in each month Of the last two years,
from which we take the following:
FEB. 1891 Dec. 1892.
Bessemer pig iron ...,... .si63 sisW
Steel rails ......... ,.,..,. 5000 30
Beginning with February, 1891, there
is no variation for twenty.three months
in the price of rails, which is uniformly
$50 per ton. But there is shown in the
same period a steady decline in the
price OF Bessemer pig iron, the rail
manufacturers raw material, from
t16. 25 to sl3. 80. The price of gray forge
iron fell from sl4.50 to s12. so, and that
Of No. 1 anthracite foundry pig iron
from $3.50 to s15. IL. But the price OF
steel rails suffered no reduction, al.
though it is admitted that the demand
has fallen off in the last eight or ten
months
Other tables published by the associa.

comparison: .
