Nrattcr ofBealth.

Housekeepers family realize the dan
ger of an indiscrilnfnete use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grccers
on account Of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of there powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inlame tho
alimentary organs and cause indi-
ge.tion, heartburn, diarrhual dis
eases. etc. Sulphuric acid. caus-
tic potash, burnt alum, all are
used as gas-producing agents in such
baking powders. Most h~ousekeepers
~ aware of the painful effects pre-
duced when these chemicals are ap-
piled to the external flesh. How much
more acute must be their action upon
the delicate internal membranes. Yet
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers do net hes
itate to use them, because they make q
very low-cost powder, O to urg the
use of their powders SO made, by all
kinds of alluring advertisements and
false representations. All the low
priced or s~o-called cheap baking pow
ders. and all powders sold with q gift
or prize, belong to this class.
Baking powders made from chemic-
ally pure cream of tartar and bi-ca--
bcnate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They lot only make the preparation of
finer and more delicious cookery po:-
sible, but they have added to the di-
gestibility ard wholesomencss of our
food. But baking powders must he
composed OF such pure and wholesome
ingredients or they must be taboocd
entirely.
of New York, in III article in the "Doc-
tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad.
vantages of a good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers 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 recommends this
to all consumers. "The Royal" he
says, contains nothing but cream
of tartar and soda refined to
a chemical purity, which when
combined under the influence of heat
and moisture produce pure carbonic,
or %leavening, gas. The two materials
used, cream of tartar and soda, are
perfectly harmless v 9 when eaten,
but in this preparation they are com.
bined in exact compensatinyg weights,
so that when chemical action begins
between them i'll the dough they prac-
tically disappear, the substance of both
having been taken to form carbonic
acid gas" Hence it is. he says, that
the Royal Baking Powder is the most
perfect of all conceivable agents for
leayening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturers or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in-
furious chemicals in place of those of u
well-known. pure. and wholesome char
ncter. simply for the sake of Il few
cents q pound greater profit: but
since they do, Il few words of warming
seem to be necessary.

True and Apnronriate.

There was one hymn of which Par
son Black was especially fond, and
which SO accurately expressed his
sentiments that he made use of it on
all possible occasions. One of
these was the funeral Of his most
prominent deacon, who, though act
i've in the affairs of the church, had,
in the business world, a reputation
for sharpness and ~closeness that was
not wholly enviable.
The services were drawing to a
close. Parson Black rose slowly from
his chair, and, in a voice of sepul-
chral sadness. said:
"Friends: Before removing the re.
mains OF our dearly beloved brother
from this house to the house app'int-
ed for all the Twin, let us join in
singin' the 247th hymn:
.Believin', we rejoice
To see the curse removed

Dignity OF. The Court.

The following incident, which is
vouched for as fact, is told OF Judge
who had a lofty idea of his own legal
capacity, and was at the same time
anxious to sustain the dignity of the
court.
A murder case was before him.
There was no direct evidence as to
the %perpetrator of the crime, but the
individual arrested was we'll known,
and, indeed, confessed the crime.
When brought into court, the Judge
cautioned the prisoner not to commit
himself; that he must remember his
rights as Il free citizen: and that,
above all things, he must not inter-
rupt the proceedings of the court.
After this friendly warming. the
judge went on to state that he, the
prisoner. was accused OF having. on
such a dat, shot the deceased. Upon
the prisoner broke in
"Well, an SO l did"
The judge was much annoyed at
the interruption.
4Hold your tongue, SIR. he ex-
claimed.
aHave I not told you not to CON
NIT yourself, nor to interrupt me. I
shall commit you for contempt of
court ii you do SO again." he added,
sternly.
He then repeated the accusation,
upon which the prisoner again broke
in y.
II have told you afore that /
Billed"
The judges indignation was in
tense at this second interruption,
and he demanded, angrily-
"Mr. Sheriff, what is your evi.
dence?:"
III have nothing but circumstantial
evidence, your honor, and the pris-
oner's own confession"
@Then. said the Judge, II discharge
the prisoner on this accusation, but
commit him for contempt of court"

NEWS IN THE ARMY.

Kew Newspapers Were Peddled Within Che
Lines During the war.
The sale of newspapers in the ranks
during the civil war "a a great source
of profit, and army newsboys were al
ways ready to face danger while on
~deavoring to carry their papers into
the lines. So keen became the compe-
tition in selling newspapers that the
Government wa compelled to dispose
of the privilege to the highest bidder.
! AT one time the sum of $75. 600 per an
mum was paid for the exclusive right
to sell newspapers in the Army of the
Potomac. the money being devoted to
the benefit of the hospitals.
Newspapers formed q bond of fellow.
ship between Eastern and Western ar
mics, for from the daily Journals they
CLEANED the news of each others move
ments. The intelligence thus Sher-
nuns troops had reached the seacoast
came m evening to the Army of the
Potomac in the columns of q Washing

Beating a Breach of Promtse su,t.

The following story of o suit for

very much as if it should be won by

serued the attorney for the defense
waving his hat and wearing q happy
expression OF countenance. As he
came hear the attorney exclaimed:

Horrors of a Firc-Roon, at Sea.

Air is supplied to the fire-rooms of
ocean steamships through a v%cntilator
ondeck, which is supposed to be turned
to face the direction of the wind.
Sometimes this turning is neglected.
Then ensues a terrible state of things
down below in the already %overheated
fre-room. The air becomes sitting,
the unfortunate stokers gasping in
vain for breath of fresh air. The
smell of the oil and the abominable
odor of the bilge water ara enough to
knock out the strongest man. No pen
can describe the horrors of life in the
tire-room during these times, and the
wonder is that scores of the stokers do
not drop off instead of the few that are
reported. The coal trimmers and coal
passers are just as badly off Us the
stokers, having to breathe the same
poisonous atmosphere. Another thing
which makes the life of a stoker O very
unhappy n is the fact that the floor
of the fre-room on which he stands is
always hot. The floor, which is com
posed of steel plates, retains the heat
and. as u consequence, blisters the feet
of the stokers, who can scarcely stand
up at times, they IRE SO much tortured
in this respect.-New York Morning
