bench. 1t was never restored; but he
fingered all these years. He was all
the while interested in literature.
As long az life lasted he was able
to indulge in reading; and that he
enjoyed to the emo. He was par
ticularly fond of the French Ian
guage; and he became a fine French
scholar as some of his letters in
that language attest. Although some
of his writings were published in
Gen. D. H. Hills magazine, The
land we love-" and in SOME other
journals and magazines like the
Literary Eclectic. He never publish
ell book. 1t is fact that some of
the most brilliant writer's do not
leave their productions in book
form. We often regret that Arthur
Simkins and James T. Bacon left
no book. Had they done so what a
treat it, would be fer US to read
them.

/ Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trif7e less
than Royal Baking Powder which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
