Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent. greater strength than any other brand
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth over

Among the most uncomfortable arti-
cles OF masculine dress is the cylinder
OF sable which has been the proper head
covering for hundred years, despite
it's numerous disadvantages. Though
intolerable In sunshine; so sensitive to
raindrops that an umbrella must be car
ried for its special shelter; inconven-
lent In travelling, 1t cannot be forgotten
or neglected. This curious affair has
not even a serious name. The tenacity
with which It clings to the scheme OF
costume is accounted for by the desire
OF short men to look tall, bylwhich.
although they are no taller, thy look
taller. Jealousy OF superior physical
advantage has brought about many OF
the ugliest fashions. In woman'S dress
this is noticeable; no sooner Is there
delight In a simple becoming fashion,
than there Is contrived some mock de-
formity, and every woman or spirit has
tens to adopt it. The most pleasing
outlines OF the figure are concealed by
every ingenuity. 1t is vain for man
to prepare unanswerable arguments
against the fashions OF the day; they
change before he can assail them, and
one folly chases another from the mem
DRY. 1t cannot be hoping too much
that in the fullness OF time the fast
flying fashions will discard all the mdi-
crous, bideous, and hurtful ones, and
faultless models be adopted.

The Study Of Local HIstory.

We teach our children of the glorious
deeds of the Greeks at Thermopyl@, OF
Napoleon at Austerlitz, OF Ney at Wa
terloo, Of Sheridan at Winchester. Why
not teach them as well of tho brave
deeds OF their ancestors here at home?
asks Winfield s. Nevins in the New En-
land Magazine. Our school histories
tell of Bunker Hill and Concord and
Lexington, and other home events, in
the same general way that they tell OF
Saratoga and Yorktown; enough, per-
haps, for a general study. But the
children of Charleston should know the
story OF Bunker Hill In detail; the
children of Concord and Lexington
should be taught the details of that
April day In l775. What more honora-
BILE pages in all our history than those
that tell us Of the deeds of the men of
Marblehead, on land and sea, in 1775, in
1912 and again in 1661-the pages that
tell of Mugford and Gerry and Story, Of
Phillips and Martin? Yet how little of
this the children of that town find In
their school histories! We might go on
with the story of the first armed resist
Snce to British aggression at the North
bridge in Salem, the resistance OF the
Worcester yeomen to the Mandamus
councillors, the struggle at Ticondero-
ga and Crown Point, anu other historic
episodes all over New England. There
is hardly town in New England that
is not the birthplace, or has not been
the home, OF some man or woman whose
memory the whole country or perhaps
all the world delights to honor.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due 70 its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

Planting Trees ON EmbanIxments.

On the Austrian railroads considera-
BILE attention has been given to planting
trees along the slopes OF the railroad
cuts and banks, and in other places
where there Is room on the right OF way.
In some places these are intended to
act as wind breaks and defenses against
the snow; In others they are simply to
utilize the waste land. A recent state
ment shows that these plantations, as
reported up to date on the various lines,
include about $40, 900 fruit trees Of va
rious kinds-plum, pear, apple, peach,
apricot and others-and about $500, 900
forest trees. Some OF the latter, such
as willows, are planted chiefly on ac-
count of the use Of their roots In pre-
serving and consolidating slopes; others
oak, fir, pine, larch, etc.-will be-val-
liable in due time as timber. These
plantations are being extended each
wear.

II you live In a locality where malaria is prev

Gates as the most reliable of medical safe
guards Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Entire
ly free from the objections-and they are valid
ones-which attach to the mineral alkaloid
quinine, it is far more effective. and its effects
are not evanescent, but lasting, unlike those
of the drug. There are portions of our land
and none more beautiful and more fertile
which at no season of the year are entirely
exempt from the malarial scourge In such
regions Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has I'M
dergone a continuous test for the past forty
years, with results which have established III
reputation beyond all cavil as special defense
against every form of palarial disease. Fol-
bfliousness. also IL is an acknowledged spe-
cifc, and IL is potent remedy for constipa-
tion, dyspepsia, rheumatism and an impover'
ished condition of the blood.

The Peach Orchard.

In planting peach trees care should
be taken TO give the orchard every adj
vantage to secure crop and to make
the fruit of the best quality and APP
pearance, for the peach Is pa Ing
crop when it hits the market just
right The best situation is an ele-
waited one, as there is less danger of
frost. The best soil is one Of awarm,
quick nature; it should be naturally
rich or made so by manure The
peach-tree requires richer soil than
the apple, / think; a soil with large
share of potash in it IS one of the
best 1 notice orchards on hillsides
do best even though the soil may not
be so good. The land should slope to
the north rather than south, the brow
of the hill being better location
than a steep northern. or southern
slope. When on a southern exposure
a few warmdays may bring out, the
fruit buds, and they be, killed by a
cold snap. / have observed that Or
chards on high northern slopes sell
dom fail. Some may claim to have a
richer fruit from southern aspects, put
the orchards on the north do not fail
to have fruit of good quality also.
Tho culture OF The peach is quite
simple, but ii must be thorough and
constant; neither grass nor grains
should be allowed to grow among
them. Garden crops, find, may be
grown in the orchard even with a
benefit, as they are heavily MANFRED
and we'll worked. The finest peach
orchard and the finest fruit l ever
saw was planted on rich, warm soil,
cultivated and manurcd every year
the same as the corn crop and kept
well pruned. In selecting trees,
much prefer small tree TO large
one. l have known some growers to
select the largest, thinking thereby
to get fruit earlier; but believe such
persons make serious mistake in so
doing. A tree should be kept headed
in, thinned, and we'll balanced over
the trunk. -Thos. ID. Baird.

Growing Potatoes Under Straw.

About growing potatoes under
straw. Judge Miller says in the Rural
World: "What 1 have seen of it, is
simply to have the ground rich and
mellow Line out the ground the
usual distance, then put in the tuhers
or pieces as they may be used, just
covered with earth. One inch is suf-
flcient Then cover the whole ground
with clean straw a foot deep when
slightly pressed down, so thick that
no weeds can possibly come through.
Then there is nothing to be done
until the vines die, then clear off the
straw and the praties will be lying
bare. 1t is well to have the ground to
slope little, for in case of very wet
season they will not do so we'll"

son wasted by Winds.

ANY one who wants to note the
losses Of fine surface soil by winter
winds can see it clearly in the cover
ing Of snow banks with more or less
deep covering OF earth which makes
them look like piles of mud. When
the bank thaws away in the spring,
this deposit of soil is washed into the
grass, giving it bright, green color
insuring rapid growth. With clover
sometimes the deposit is so heavy
that the plants are smothered and
killed. 1t pays to erect artificial
wind-breaks to prevent the most vio-
lent sweep of the winds, and, as a
rule, keep the fields that are most
exposed to sweeping gales seeded
with grass or clover as much as posi-
bic, in order TO save this loss. The
waste is less on low lands, especially
If sheltered by orchards or forests on
the hillsides to the points whence
winter winds usually come.

Suckers on Corn.

1t used to be mistaken practice OF
farmers to pull off the suckers from
corn. but it is not followed at pres.
.ent The suckers were usually thrown
upon the ground and wasted, though
even If gathered and fed to cows they
possessed little nutriment. Left on
the corn until harvest some of them
will have nubbins or ears and stalks
much sweeter and richer than they
have early in their growth. Often
the sucker furnishes pollen that is
needed to fertilize ears on the main
stalk that have been belated. Cut.
ting out the suckers in such cases in
stead of increasing the amount on
the original stalk decreases it.

Proteotlon for Young Trees.

To keen rabbits, mice, ana sheep
from girdling young fruit trees the
best and surest way is to case or wrap
them with wire door screening cut In
strips wide enough TO wrap once
around them and theE tie In two
places with tarred Irvine, such as is
used in tying fodder Or IL the trees
are not too large take common plas-
tering lath, saw once in two, making
the pieces two feet long, nail the
pieces together like box trough,
set up round the tree, which covers
three sides, then put another piece Of
lath upon the other side and tie in
two places with tarred Irvine. This
is much better than dauhing with
cow manure, rubbing with beef liver
or blood, or soap, to be washed of by
the rain, making repeated rubbings
necessary. This is not expensive and
when done is done to stay till taken

The addition OF ashes or potash gen.

thus further obstructs the drill We
doubt whether for any crop a broad.
cast sowing OF rotted hen manure dis
tributing 1t evenly over the whole

possible. and all the droppings OF the

day, and all piled in a heap under

To Cure Crib-Biters.

A gentleman living in village a
few miles North has valuable 6-year
old trottlng horse, which some time
ago formed the very bad habit of
cribbing: that is it would chew at
the wood Of the manger and parts OF
its stall. The habit grew and grew
till he was cribbing so constantly
that he lost flesh and did not eat a
sufficient tQuantlty Of food. The
owner sent statement Of the condi-
ton of things to Thomas p. Night
ingale and asked him if he could sug-
gest remedy. Mr.. Nightingale
thought the matter over and replied
"Yes." He then went to work at
the arrangement described hereafter.
He had an induction coil wound.
Three cells Of battery were used. A
flexible cora was led from it to the
horses back under the surcingle.
The stall was lined with tin where
the horse had the habit Of cribbing
or chewing. The connection was
maue so JnaU wnen Une animal
touched his lips to the tin at any
point the electric current ran through
his head and along his back to the
spine under the surcingle. This was
enough to make him turn away his
nose and lips with all the disgust an
equine can show. After vain efforts
to touch any part Of either the man
ger or stall without getting the dose
he gave it up, and the result is the
animal is again eating and digesting
his food naturally and has lost his
taste for manger and stall wood. -

Adyantnees OF Farm Life.

One of the advantages of farm
er's life, and by no means small one,
is the healthfulness OF his employ
Ment Statistics show that farm
er's life is the most healthy of all oc-
equations. The freedom from cares,
the outdoor exercise, the moderate
living and the absence from those
cares which disturb the peace and
comfort Of other persons, all go to
lengthen the farmers life. Forty
per cent. OF farmers reach the age OF
20 years, against thirty-tlve per cent
among merchants, thirty-three among
soldiers twenty-nine among lawyers,
and twenty nine among physicians.
Out of 100 farmers, 1916 per cent. die
every year.
