A Matter Of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
ia niger of an indiscriminato use of the
u merous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sist tency 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 tho
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
tion, heartburn, diarrheal 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 ale applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes Yet unscrupulous man
ufacturer5 do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low cost pow
der, nor to urge the use Of their pow
ders so made, by all kinds of allurlng ad-
vertisements and false approximations.
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 and wholesomeness Of
our food. Eut 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 good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dam
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 recon-
mends this to all consumers. "The
Royal" he says, contains nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
tVhhCu w II WnlCh
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.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
iurious chemicals in place of those of
a well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of a few
cents a pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warming seem
to be necessary

BOSSY ON A WINE JAG.
a Florida Cow Overcome After Eating Q
Claret-Soaked Watermelon.

Claret-Soaked Watermelon.
Not long ago, when tho 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 a treat o.
iced watermelon for dinner, says the
Capitol. After studying over the
matter awhile they decided that an
ice-cold melon was not good enoug b
did not begin to show their appre-
ciat!on Of the young ladies-so they
went down into their pockets and
purchased two bottles of the finest
claret in the city, emptied them into
the melon, then sent it to the hotel,
with instructions to place 1t In a
cooler place. This was done, and all
would have been well had not the
hotel folks decided to treat the guest g
to fine melon the same day. The
rich, wine-f1lled melon lay side by
side with the melon favored only by
na ure, and yet the sameness on the
I outside remained undisturbed. At
the proper time the colored factotum
was ordered to prepare the hotel
uiSioh ioA VhO WV ChtCpt
the young men knew anything about
the wine being put in the melon.)
As soon as the knife laid the melon
open the peculiar odor satisfied the
waiter that it was spoiled. A brief
! consultation was held and the unani.
nous verdict was that it was no good.
1t was taken out and PLACED in the
! COW lot, where mild-eytd Jersey lay
dreaming the hours away. The bo-
vine, knowing good thing when she
saw it, was soon on the outside OF the
melon, wine and all. Now, two
quarts of wine is pretty stiff drink
for even COW, and it soon began to
tell on her, and for a time she made
things lively, trying to stand on her
head, kicking her heels, trying to
waltz, tugging at the fence with her
horns and acting as If she was half
crazy to paint the town red in her
own way. Finally tho heavy de-
bauch proved too much for her. She
took the hiccoughs, staggered around
a while, fell down and began snoring
lust the Same as any other bum.
b.nce then she has refused to eat
plain melon.

PRESERVING GRAPES.

Here are few good ways in which
grapes may be enjoyed throughout the
winter:
Preserved Grapes--Squeeze the
pulps of the grapes out of the skins.
Cook the pulp few minutes, until it
can be pressed through sieve. Re
ject the seeds. Add little water to
the skins and cook until quite tender.
Then put the skins and pulp together.
Measure, and to each pint add pound
of sugar and boil fifteen minutes.
Spiced Green Grapes-Five pounds
of green grapes wild are best, three
pounds of sugar, one pound of raisins,
one-half pint of vinegar, one table
spoonful of ground cloves, one table
spoonful of ground allspice, one table.
spoonful of ground cinnamon. Stone
the grapes and raisins and simmer one
hour.
Picked Grapes-Fill jar with
alternate layers of sugar and punches
of nice grapes, just ripe and freshly
gathered. Fill one-third full of good
cold vinegar and cover tightly.

This is term frequently employed
by those who write requesting rem
edy for a certain affection to which
fowls are liable. This disorder is of
two kinds-dry caked, hard crop and
the undigested, swollen, sour, watery
condition of the contents of this re-
ceptacle at times. Either is bad
enough, and both are fatal to fowl life
if not taken seasonably in hand. 1t is
not nice job to perform, but an un-
pleasant, though not very difficult,
operation to open, cleanse and sew up
the crop thus affected. This is indi-
gestion simply. The food or water
does not pass into the system in the
desired way, but lodges in the crop.
This ferments, swells, hardens or
sours, and death follows if the bird is
not relieved.
Cut near the top of the crop q slit
lengthwise with a sharp knife, and
then turn out the offending substance
by gently pressing it away with the
hand, while another person holds the
bird firmly upon its side. When all is
removed sew up the slit edges of the
crop skin closely with small sized
needle and fine white silk; feed spar
ingly on soft food for three or four
days, and generally the hen will re-
cover. This process is for valuable
fowls. With common bird knock
on the head and swift burial is the
least trouble and the best "remedy"
for swollen crops, as it is for every
disease that is liable to leave the fowl
in delicate condition. requiring nurs-
ing and care that its value will not
guarantee. Poultry World.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The sofa bean is choice food for
horses in India.
The demand for well-matched car
riage horses continues.
Mouthing horses demand patience,

Control your own temper before
you try to control your colt.
Patience is the most important
quality in an animal educator.
High roosts will injure the feet Of
the fowls, and also cause lameness.
White oak bark tea is said to be an
excellent remedy for chicken cholera.
Many of the ailments of horses in
this country are due to excessive corn
feeding.
Feed the colts from the time they
will begin to eat until they are dis
posed of.
In hot weather the dark stable is
the cool and comfortable one, free
from flies.
The fence rows and corn fields are a
good index of the character of the
farmer in charge.
The Brahma Langshan and Cochin
breeds are only average layers and they
mature but slowly.

Scottish divine, was remarkable for
5or his simplicity of manner and
gentle temper.

pit minus his pocket handkerch. .ef
that Mrs. Erskine at last began to
suspect that the handkerchiefs were
stolen by some of the old women who
lined the pulpit stairs. So both to
Ralk and detect the culprit she sewed
corner of the handkerchief to one
of the pockets of his coat-tails
Half way up the stairs the good
doctor felt tug, whereupon he

CARE OF SWINE FOR THE MARKET.

Prices FOR hogs are very good, and
on account of the conditions control
hing the market, they are likely to CON

the present market price hogs are the
most profitable stock produced upon
the farm. Such high prices will give
great impetus to their production,
tending to overstock the market, yet
from tho present outlook it must be
some time before the demand can be
sufficiently satisfied toreduce prices to
