An Extraordinary Incident Showing
the Perfection Of Their Institution.
In the national institution careful
attention is given to physical culture.
Gymnastic exercises, long walks
and frequent baths and swimming are
held in great esteem, but not trapez
exercises, pole climbing and other
violent and dangerous forms. The diff
ficulty of giving commands necessarily
draws the limits for the students at
this kind Of gymnastics. In the ex-
ercises which they do take, they &C.
quire the idea OF rhythm, OF sentiment,
and OF harmony, and they learn atten-
ton, order, and obedience, which are
SO useful to the progress of their
education. The institution itself is
large and commodious, we'll supplied
with all the numerous necessary
appliances and with a fine library.
There are at present more than 200
scholars in attendancea and the number
tends constantly to increase. The cost
per year for those in the institution is
$3.50. For day scholars it is con-
siderab!y less than that amount.
The following incident is related by
the CT! a*auquan as showing to what
measure Of achievement the instruction
of distributes may be carried forward:

THE IGHEs AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder in Strength.
and Value 20 Per Cent. Above It's
Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record Of having received the
highest reward for articles Of it's class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
n ost perfectly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ex-
hibited in competition with others.
In the exhibition of former years, at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
at the various state and industrial
fairs, where it has been exhibited,
judges have invariably awarded the
Royal Baking Powder the highest hon
Ors.
At the recent worlds fair the exam
ination for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts Of the chemi-
cal division of the Agricultural Depart
ment of Washington. The official re-
port of the tests Of the baking powders
which were made by this department
for the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best. and which has
been made public, shows the leaven-
ing strength OF the Royal to be 100
cubic inches Of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream Of tartar bak-
ing powders exhibited at the Fair, the
next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches Of leav-
ening gas. The other powders gave an
average Of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found 20 per cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest competi-
tor, and a per cent. above the average
Of all other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
Of the food it makes as to %fneness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
It is these high qualities known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have
ed the sales of the Royal Baking Pow.

the sales Of all other baking powders

Tin 1900 600 of an Inch Thick.

Experiments have been made dur
ing the past few Gays at the Ellwood
tin plate mill, the result of which will
surprise the mechanical and industrial
world. Superintendent Richards has
been prosecuting this series Of expert
ments with the assistance. of several
skilled workmen, and they have sue
ceeded in rolling out several large
sheets of tin to the thinness Of the
200, of an inch. When 1t is con-
sidered that the difficulty Of rolling gold
plate to the 15O,OOOth of an inch makes
the process SO very expensive, the feat
of rolling tin plate to the 5O.OO0th Of
an inch thinner is manifestly a re-
markable MISUNDERSTANDING Dis
patch.

Fancy Now Means Quality.
The term fancy has been applied
to q class of poultry deemed of no val
ue except to ornament the show room,
<but within the past year, says the Poul-
try Keeper, the term has been accepted
as one designating quality in poultry
on the stalls. During the week preced-
ing Christmas the fancy" dressed
poultry commanded nearly twice as
much per pound as the ordinary. This
may be but q trivial matter on first con-
sideration, but when it is well looked
into the subject is worthy of more con-
s%ideration, for the prices are drawn
I strictly on q line which separates the
market into good and bad and this
separation will become wider and wider
as progress is made in the breeds of
farm poultry. 1t plainly shows that
If the farmer is to succeed with poultry
his greatest profit must come by breed
ing the so-called fancy stock, and that
he cannot hope to successfully compete
with fan: " stock except by making q
speciality of fancy stock himself.
The fancy stock, as bred for market,
does not. however, depend for excel
lence upon the points of the comb, or
a few feathers on the middle toe Of a
show bird, but upon the compactness
of body and the preponderance of
breast meat, the golden yellow color
of the legs, and the fat condition of
the bird when killed. In fact, the lat
I ter is a very important portion of the
Requirements, which even the farmer
NI,r0v,c &C. essential IN nhf0ininr hiuh
prices, but to produce a carcass ex-
ceiling in other respects is something he
often overlooks. The true poultryman
makes it his object to satisfy the mar.
ket and lie will MT be behind his COM
petitors in the use of the proper breeds
necessary to give him any advantages
that may be obtained in that direction,
for he must expect to please the Gus
toners if he desires the highest price.
If there gre quotations for fancy
stock and other quotations for that
which is inferior, let the farmer pro-
duce only the fancy kind. There is no
monopoly Of any breed, and no Il has
the exclusive right to the control Of the
market, and the farmer has an equal
chance with all. He must remove his
prsludice against the fine breeds, and
might ut once cease. the claim that
.cfancy stock is no better than any
other" for the prices refute his claim,
and prove c%onclusively that there is
not only a difference, but a great one,
and his prejudice effects no n as in
juriously as it. does him. Let the farm
er keep fancy stock and he will get
fancy prices. Let him seek to produce
the best that a be placed upon the
market, and he will find a profit result
ing instead Of a loss. The man who
will not comply with the demands of
the market must be content to sell at
half price and incur the risk of loss.
