How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

A recent seizure of n lot of cheap
baking powders by the authorities of a
neighboring city has exposed the charac-
ter Of the lowpriced brands of baking
powders which many manufacturers are
Offering throughout the country. Tho
price of the powders first attracted at
tention to them. Samples were taken
and analysed. The official report of the
analysis showed the stuff to be 'alum
powders" composed chiefly of alum, sui
phuric acid and pulverized rock. The
powders were declared dangerous to
health and several thousand pounds were
confscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with these
so-called cheap baking powders They
are all found, when analysed, to contain
large percentages of alum and sulphuric
acid to which are added various sorts of
filling matter sometimes both injurious
and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar baking
powders are the most economical and
wholesome and should always be selected
for use. They will be found cheaper in
the end, besides making the food better
and more healthful.

Origin of Christmas Cards.

Christmas cards. by the way. formed
no part of Dickens conception of Christ
mas. The first Christmas card was
painted by a lady of noble birth in Ber-
lin thirty-one years ago. Ii grew out of
a desire to send a simple souvenir to a
cousin of hers who was in the diplo-
matte service of William l.. then King
of Prussia and afterward German En-
peror. The lady and the cousin had
been lovers until they were parted by n
misunderstanding. While recovering
from severe illness she painted spray
of forget me-nots on a card and inscribed
on it few words in gold letters, the
translation of which is given thus: May
the Christ Child rest on your heart and
bring you peace and happiness"
This she dispatched ON Christmas eve
to the count by a faithful friend. who
managed matters with such tact that the
lovers were reconciled and lived happily
ever after. When Yuletide came round
again they told their story to some init
mate friend at court The Prussian no
bility adopted this method of sending
good wishes and polite greetings during
the holiday season. Printed cards ap-
peared shortly after this and trade in
them soon grew up. The folding card.
with happy surprises in sentiment, was
a conception of the French. dating from

In speaking of the eecentricities of the
magnetic pole which the Norwegian expe-
dition in the Gjoa expects to locate accu-
rately and which is known to be about 40
degrees north latitude and 100 west longi-
tude. The Electrical World says: 1t lies
due north of Dodge City, Kan. and at n
desirable distance therefrom. The princi.
pal interest in the magnetic pole is in its
excursions and round trips. The polar
point moves 10 and fro. like a polar bear
If it were of constant locality and in.
tensity, its interest would be limited to
dot on the map. Similarly, the interest
in the north geographical pole lies more
in It's small wanderings than in its pre-
else locality at any time. Notwithstanding
the fact that it would be an interesting
place to reach and say goodbye to. 1t IS
said to spend its time in perambulating a
complicated but definite curve comprised
within circle of n couple of hundred feet
in diameter. If even a thing so fixed as
the pole in this, our world, cannot stay
still, how much excuse and consolation
may we find for the restlessness of its
ephemeral inhabitants.

How to Get Up a y -
y Chfld's Christmas Party.

If Santa Claus is to be present at the
Christmas party supper-and of course
should be iuvited-he may appear in
an automobile, but to be quite orthodox
he should be driving his eight reindeer
through the snow; and therefore the
hostess should use a strip OF snowy cot
ton wool plentifully sprinkled with frost
for the table center. Purchase some
what large Santa Claus; he will be most
effective dressed in Il brown cloak with
scarlet hood and cap. y fancy basket i'll
the form OF WheelbarrOW or chariot
will answer the purpose for his sleigh,
and should be loaded with presents of all
kinds. The reindeer-which can be
hlled with sweetS-may be harncSSed to
the sleight with scarlet ribbons on which
have been sewn number of tiny bells.
At intervals down the table place boxes
of bonbons in the form of Yule logs,
with garlands of berried holly and mistle-
toe arranged from log to log, the menus
TO be in banner form, each one being held
by miniature Father Christmas.
A Cinderella scheme for the supper
table is pretty. For the center purchase
from your florist the wire frame of n
coach. Cover it thiniy with moss, bind
ing it on with hemp; then cover it with
scarlet geranlums, attaching the bios
sons to the coach with fine silver wire;
harness two milk-white toy horses TO it
with ribbons TO match the geraniums A
smart little coachman and fOotman must
be placed on their respective places. and
a doll 10 represent Cinderella dressed for
the ball should be sitting inside
Appropriate presents TO be placed for
the children would consist of a slipper
filled with sweeties for each little boy
and doll dressed rs a fairy in white
gauZe spotted with silver stars. holding
a tiny wand. would delight the heart of
each little girl.
Quite as pretty would be ~ Garden
of Flowers AN ideal scheme this for Il
fancy dress party. When the invitations
are sent out each guest should be re-
quested to come TO 1.-The Garden of Flow

Whatever flower is chosen should be in

the invitation. For the supper table dec
Grafton for this party, in the center
stand Il large doll dressed as a roSe--the
queen of flowers. In her hands should
he fastened as many garlandS of bebe

there are guests. Attach little gifts at
the other ends of the garlandS appro-
pirate 10 the costumes of the guests that
are tn receive them, such as brooches
and scarfpins with flowers in enamel,
baskets of sweets trimmed with flowers,
or pretty cut glass bottles of perfume,
decorated with blossoms. The ribbons
or garlands should be arranged that each
small guest finds corresponding gift;
thus Niolet's present is adorned with

gaudy booths presided over by fat pur-

the canal, their shafts tilted in the air,

older peasants stolidly cape. The girls

Within thy gray-green shade.
Hinged round with terraced vineyard
And depth OF olive glade:
There on thy high green pastures
The shepherds watch their sheep
The low large moon shines glimmerlng
Ger all the upland steep.
What music of the heavens
What magic song OF bliss
What vision of the night tide
What mystic light IS this:
The silly sheep are blinded,
The shepherds in amaze
Stand aWestruck, all the hillside
With glory is ablaze.
The Angels joyous chorus
Rings out into the night.
O Gloria in EXcclsis,
Sing praises in the height.
Sing praises, men Of Bethlehem,
Sing praises here below,
For Peace on earth and good vii
He doth on you bestow.

For on this day is born there
Within your little town
child who Christ the Lord is
Yet wears no earthly crown:
He bringeth JOY and gladness
To you and all mankind,
Yea. Peace ON earth and good will
To men of equal mind.
