Farms Given Away.

It seems that farms in some parts of Berkshire county are virtually given away, or are sold to New York parties for less than the cost of the buildings. The Tyringham correspondent of the Lee Cleaner says:
 Dennis Cahalan has sold his farm oi 150 acres located on the road leading from this village to Otis, for 5000 to a New York party who takes possession April 1st. Calvin Jones, of Lee. has sold his place, known as the Sweet place, to lady in New York, 100 acres for S350 Both of the above pieces of property are desirable and have good buildings upon them.

The Tobacco Outlook.

The most serious question now being agitated by the farmer IS the tobacco look and outlook. If a tobacco grower was ever thoroughly disgusted, he is at the present time, especially those who have not disposed of their '93. Evident ly 1893 was an off year for the tobacco trade, as the dealers complained of be- ing we'll stocked with '92 crop and con- siderable '9l on hand and do not care to buy any '93 until they have disposed of what they have on hand. We were talking with farmer yesterday who said he knew of some farmers who had not sold their last years crop, and what they were going to do to purchase fer tilizers and begin new crop he did not know. This will no doubt make the acreage of 1894, much less, surely of the Havana leaf as that is not saleable for what you might call fair price. There is some interesting conversation going about just now and as the story is told over and over, 1t makes grower feel rather blue, to know what to do for 1894. There will no doubt be large decrease in the state this year-Gazette, East Hartford.

 Seeing your notes in last week B NEWS on the services at the different churches in the village of Canaan on Easter Sunday 1t occurred to me that the exercises at East Canaan church were worthy of mention.

How Meerschaum Was Discovered.

The use of meerschaum for pipes is re- cent, but the substance itself has been long known. It was supposed to be petri- fled seafoam and was found on the coast in round balls. It was meerschaum in consequence of this superstition. We do not know by whom the first lump was found, but the firstpipe from it was made by Karol Kowates in 1723 at Pesth for Count Andrassy, and the pipe is still at the Pesth museum.

When the prisoner in Morocco hears
the doors of the jail close behind him.
he knows, if he be poor and without
friends, however trivial be the offense
for which he has been imprisoned. that
he may possibly not leave those walls
alive. 1t is matter of Indifference to
the authorities how many are impris-
oned, for these wretched captives are
no cause of expense to the state. The
prisoners have to purchase their own
bread and water and to pay their jail.
ers. Many man imprisoned for some
light debt, which he has long ago dis.
charged, is still detained because he is
unable to meet the debt he has con-
tracted toward his jailers, and which
his forced captivity daily increases. q
In some prisons they are only per-
mltted to receive supply of fresh wa

OF suffering this means in an African
climate and in the fetid atmosphere of
dungeons such as those to be found in
Morocco, it is difficult for an European
to realize. In a Moorish prison the
captlves sleep half naked on the mud
floor. They are all huddled together
in one apartment, without distinction
as regards crime or innocence, for many
are simply thrown into prison on &C.

prolonged Imprisonment and sometimes
by torture, hope to squeeze money out
of them or discover where they have
hidden treasure.
OF an evening it is not unusual fo,
the prisoners to be all bound together
by chain passing through an iron
collar which each captive wears,
thus making it necessary for all to

within the prison add sometimes to the
indescribable horror and misery of the
place. There is no Inspections no med

drag himself to the hole in the wall
through which the bread and water is
passed, he must trust to the mercy of
his fellows to supply him with food.
Only when death overtakes the poor

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and.
Value 90 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest

Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value go Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna nd at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tura1 Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests OF the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be 16O
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream Of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Fair,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found of 20 per cent greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest competl-
tor, and Al per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to hneness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
by the women of the coun.
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to exceed the
sales of all other baking powders com
