PERFECTIONiIN CAKE MAKING.

Housekeepers ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS why
II lie that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light and palstsble and that
taste as delicious as the biscuit and cake
made by their mothers and grsndmoth-
ere, the delightful memory OF which ev-
en- to this day creates q sensation oil
pleasure to the palate. The trouble
arises from the highly sdulterated state
Of materials they have to work with, par.
ticularly the cream-of tartar and soda
used to raise or leaven the food. Cream
of-tartar and sods.thst are now procur.
able for domestic purposes contain large
quantities OF lime, earth alum and other
sdultersnts, frequently from five to 20
per cent, and consequently vary so
much Ia strength that no person can tell
the exact quantity to use, or properly
combine them, TO insure perfect results.
From using too much or too little, or be-
cause OF the adulteranto in them, bitter,
salt, yellow or heavy biscuits or cakes
are frequently made. These adulterants
are also injurious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by Il e
use of the popular Royal Baking Powder.
Where this preparation is employed in
the place Of cream of tartar and soda, it's
perfect leavening power always insures
light, flsky, digestible biscuit, cakes
and pastry that are perfectly wholesome
and free from the impurities invariably
present when the old raising prepara-
tons are employed,
The Royal Baking Powder, We are in
formed by the most reliable scientists, is
perfectly pure, being made from highly
refined ingredients, carefully tested, and
80 exactly proportioned and combined
thstit never fails to produce the best and
uniform results. An additional advan-
tsge In its employment comes from the
fact that bread or other food made with
it may be eaten while hot without fear oil
indigestion or any unpleasant results,
while being equally sweet, moist, and
grateful to the pslate when cool.

A BROTHERS TRIBUTE.


John Miller Eulogises HIS Brother WI
PoRT STANLEY, FALKLAND ISLANDS
June 5, lS96.-Ssd tidings from home
May that tender cure always given by Hit
gentle touch to the widow, the orphan
and the unfortunate be offered his own
stricken widow and child.
This kind OF good deeds filed his life
aud will cast the mantle OF forgetfulness
over bis foibles.
Universally kind, he loved the neigh
borhood OF his childhood best, and the
neighborhood him.
Brave, benevolent, trust worthy, truth.
full, always honest.
An energetic and determined oficit !,
the good he accomplished he considered
duty and never otherwise alluded to it.
OF his personal benevolence his silence
was sacred.
Never exulting in triumph he could
not be cast down by defeat.
Wide open in all his actions all the
time, under all kinds OF circumstances in
all kinds OF warfare, his adversary al
ways knew the ground he occupied, but
he knew how to offer a Friendship that
left "Paths of Peace" as smooth aud
clean as the untrodden snow.
His simple Faith in the Christian Re
ligion was beautiful and childlike.
Such in brief was the life and charac-
ter OF our brother at whose distant gray q
my heavy heart offers this little tribute
to night.
He needs no eulogy.

ANEW CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
1t Will Be Called the Scandinavian Mis-
sion Bethel Church.

On Friday evening last, in response to
" Letters Missive" from the newly orga-
nized Scandinavian Bethlehem Mission
church of this city, an ecclesiastical
council convened at their place of wor-
ship, Corner Congress and Temple streets.
The object Of this council was to make
the necessary examination into the polity
faith and practice of this new church,
and if the result was favorable to them
the fellowship and sympathy of the Con-
gregational body.
The council organized BY the choice of
Rev. J. L. Jenkins, d. D., as moderator,
and Rev. Leroy 8. Bean as scribe After
a full examination on the part of the
council it was unanimously resolved,
THAT this council do now recognize
this company of men and women, associ-
ated together as the Scandinavian Beth
elem Mission church, as church Of our
Lord Jesus Christ; aud that the modera-
tor of this council be authorized to ex-
tend to their pastor and officers the right
hand Of fellowship as visible token of
such recognition and OF their welcome
to the fellowship of the Congregational
churches.
All present were greatly pleased by the
frank and Christian hearing of the mem-
bership Of. the church, with the evidences
of thoughtful, Intelligent action eviaced
both in their confession OF faith and in
the rules GU hioh they had formulated for
the guidance Of their body. We feel con-
fident that the new interest will COM
mand not only the sympathy and en-
couragement of the Congregationalists,
but of all the good people of our city, and
their pastor, Rev. B. B. Sather will be
welo ONE addition to the clergy of Port

OVER A HUNDRED SIGNED PLEDGE.
A Rousing Temperance Meeting in Revival
of Washingtonian Move ment.

Gospel Mission hall was filed to over
flowing last evening where the most
suoce ssful vet of the new Washing
tonian meetings took place. The meeting
last night was one of the greatest tenn
perance gatherings of the many great
ones which this city has seen. Long be-
fore half-past seven O'Clock the congre-
cation commenced to pour into the tall
and every available seat was soon occu-
pied.
After a few hymns had been sung,
tho assistant pastor. Rev. a. +. Dexter,
read chapter from the New Testament
and offered prayer. Mr.. Pearson fol-
lowed in bright, and at times, most
eloquent address. Mr.. Pearson spoke
OF the Washingtonian movement. 1t was
started by six men In Washington, So
years ago. Within IS months more than
60, 600 drunkar were reformed in the
city of Baltimore where the work was
after tbs society started the society
gave to the world the magnificent orator
and greatest temperance advocate John
B. Cough who was taken from the gut
ter worthless drunkard.
Coming down to the present time some
timely observations were given by the
speaker and the great audience listened
very attentively to them. "Never since
the civilization Of this country has the
cause of temperance been at such low
degree in this city as at this moment"
he declared. Give years ago there were
seven lodges Of the Good Templsrs in
Portland and the order was in a flourish
ing condition. Now there is only one
lodge, Mystic. There are at least 300
places In this city where Intoxicating
liquors can he bought. This condition
ought not to be where there are 80
churches and 2S Protestant ministers to
say nothing Of the Catholic clergy and
the Catholic Total Abstinence society.
The law has become practically power
less, and the difficulty is on account of
the inactivity on the part of the people
responsible for it," sgsa
Z very urgent appeal was then made
for all to come forward and sign the
pledge which was originated by the Wash
ingtonians.
George H. Blake. a oo-laborer with
Mr.. Pearson, next delivered an interest
ing address.
While the conclu ding hymns were be-
ing sung, several men, representing vari-
'ous walks of life. stepped forward and
signed the pledge, and after the bene-
diction more came up. The number
secured for theseyening was rising 100.
The next meeting will take place on
Wednesday evening.
