An Experts Opinion.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien.
lists and hygienists 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 Pow
der in purity, wholesomeness and
strength, from 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 matters pertain
ing to science of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, and of homo cooking
In letter published in the Ladies
Home journal. this writer says:
81 regard the Royal Baking Powder
as 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 bis
cults, cakes, etc, and have entirely dis.
carded for such purposes the home

two-thirds cream of tartar
Every box has been in perfect con-
dition when it came into my hands,
and the contents have given complete
satisfaction. 1t is an act of simple
justice. and also a pleasure, to recon-
mend it unqualifedly to American
housewives. MARION HARLAND."

WHILE death in itself has terrors
enough for the ordinary individual,
the dread of being possibly entombed
while in trance is one of the most
pronounced fears of very large
portion OF people. Medical science
has advanced to that stage where
certain and simple tests for death are
known, but these are unfortunately
not always applied, even in eases
where there is reason to suspect that
the last spark of life has not fed.
To avert all possibilities of this kind
the highest medical talent should be
called upon to prescribe some in
fallible method of ascertaining the
complete extinction of life. and all
physicians should be compelled by
law to apply it and make the fact of
its application part of the death
certificate.

Yesterday it swept through to 18Th. the
machines going twice over that portion of it
between 10Th and 18th streets.
The past winter the most severe in the
history of the city. There were thirteen work
ing days in December that no sweeping could
be done; TWENTY-FIVE days IN January and six
teen days in February. from which fact it
would appear that the avenue i'll question has
been a. regularly swept as II has been in the
power Of this department to DO. The immense
excavations for building purposes in the
vicinity OF this avenue and the cart
ing of SO much earth over the surface
during the winter months made it neces-
sary that these heavy deposits of clay
should be removed before proper sweeping
could be done. The labor gang for that section
which commenced work on the 18th instant for
the season. was instructed. for its first work, to
thoroughly clean the cutters and heavier por-
tons of this thoroughfare. The work fin
lsfei on the 18th, IFS large loads OF dirt having
been carried away from its surface. The reg
ular weekly sweeping would have taken place
on Friday, oath, but heavy mist and rains rem
