THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.

Lonely, you say, and with this arch
OF sky so grandly bending,
By bright hued clouds and glittering stars
A tender message sendingY
Joyless, when out of crimson clouds
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating we'll
Aurora's cheerful storyl
Peaceless, when night with noiseless feet,
From fields of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of Ours2
Like faintest sounds of distant seas
Around some castle hoary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret,
And trace her changeful story.
And like PARKWAY cleaning sail,
Turning n bend of river,
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring culver.
So, thankful where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look, and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

n Natter OF Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger OF an indiscriminato use of the
ou merous baking powders nowadays
Found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
pistency 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
slkslies which burn and inflame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
tiop, heartburn, diarrhmal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used rs gas roduc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
desh. 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 a very low cost pow.
der, nor to urge the use Of their pow
ders so made, by all kinds of alluring adj
vertisements and false represe ntations.
All the low priced or so-cnlled cheap
baking powders, and oil powders sold
with q gift or prize, belong TO this
clnss.
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. hut they have added To the
digestibility and wholesomeness Of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be tn
booed entirely.
DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the
doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages of good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recom-
mends this to all consumers. "Tho
Royal" he says, contains nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
refined TO n chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leayening. gas. Tho 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 substanoe of
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas. Hence il is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder is tho
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that my
manufacturer or dealer should urge tho
sale of baking powders containing in
iurious chemicals in place of those of
well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents a pound greater profit; but since
they do, a few words of warning seem
TO be necessary. .-

Claret-soaked Watermelon.
Not long ago, when the mercury
down at Ocala, Fla, was climbing
near the top Of the tube, two young
men decided TO agreeably surprise
their young lady friends by treat Of
iced watermelon for dinner, says the
Capitol. After studying over the

ice cold melon was not good enough

would have been well had not the

tion aloud, something OF astonishment aud
something OF reverence in his voice: Jesus

The second floor is TO be cut up into thir-
