1 State Chemist, California: The 'Royal fulfils all the require ments. ' Our tests show it has greater leavening power than any other. A French Art Departure. The first note of sincere diHgent was struck by Gerioault when be sent bis "Raft of tbe Medusa" to tbe Sulou of 1819. Grew, iwleed, had in some of bis Napoloonio pictures shown on inoliua- tion to express natural pniuiian, bat bad not pursued it fur, go this picture of Gcricanlt's really marks a turning point in French nrt. Tbe interne feeling em bodied in it forms a wonderful foil to tbe impassiveness of David's "Subiue Women," wbicb hangs in tbe same room in tbe Louvre. Tbere also reap pears in it tbe emotional elouiont of chiaroscuro, which bad been almost baniBbed by tho classio school, and the color strikoB a chord in complote sym pathy with the tragedy of tbe situation. Tbe whole incident is well concoived; tbe elements of nature, the wild heaving of the sea, tbe lowering sky, with its bright rifts, are attuned to the mingled dexpair and bopo of tho forlorn creatures on tbo raft ' A few years later Delacroix exhibited bis first picture, and the buttle botweeu romanticism and those in authority be gan in grim earnest One can easily imagine tho consternation, tbe augry wrangling, the wordy war, whicb the appearance of this picture stirred, Tbe passion of tbe color and tho drama of the light and shade, the vigorous and sua gestive drawing and tbe full yet fluent inipasto were new and startling to puiuters trained in a school where a con vention of form and a certain restricted range of emotion and subject were en forced. Tbe classic movement inaugu rated by David and continued by Ingres purged French art of tho vapid trivial! ties in which it bad sunk and set up higher ideal, but it was at tbe expense of liborty, in whose sacred name it claimed tbo right to reigu. It was against the cold formalism of this school that tbe men of 1S30 bad to contend. Blackwood's Magazine. Daman Broth. A very singular superstition has just eome to light. According to an author ity in Shanghai, the heatbon Chinee lives under the impression that the heal ing qualities of tbe human flesh are practically unlimited. For this reason when a father or mother is taken ill the flesh of one of the ohildren is freqnently sacrificed in order that it maybe made into what one might describe as beef tea for tbe strict on parent Not long ago a clerk in a government office deliberately cnt off his finger in the belief that when made into soup it would improve the health of bis mother, who lay ilL Atmosphere, Tbere ia a wide difference of opinion among the learned men of tbe world as to what would be tbe effect of wholly removing tbe atmosphere.

Vinegar may be made in a very abort time by a sort of filtering process that can be bandied by any person of ordi nary ingenuity. A large barrel has a perforated sbelf fitted in a few inches below tbe top. From the boles fall ends of pack thread, wbicb are knotted at tbe upper end so that they may not be drawn entirely through. Glass tubes are flied in tbe sbelf as air vents. Tbe lower edge of the barrel is filled with holes placed about six inches above tbe bot tom, and a siphon carries off the liquid that accumulates below this point. Di luted alcoholio liquor, slightly sweeten ed with honey or with extract of malt, is slowly dripped through the holes in the shelf and runs through beechwood shavings that have previously been steep ed in good vinegar. The liquor, which should be kept at a temperature of 75 to 85 degrees F., filters down through the threads and over the shavings to the bottom of tbe barrel, whence it runs over through tbe sipbon. After awhile the temperature in the barrel rises to about 100 degrees F., tbe chemical ac tion going on meanwhile. It is neces sary to pour the liquor again and again through tbe generator before it is satis factory. From three or four to half a dozen filterings are usually sufficient, though more are sometimes required, depending a good deal on the quality of the materials and tbe temperature at starting.

"Sometimes," he says, "I grew eo bold as to chuck a lump of coal at a driver, who invariably looked for tbe biggest lump on bis load to hit back with, which was what I wanted. Thus the exercise warmed me at tbe time and tbe coal warmed me afterward. And occasionally we got a large enough stock to sell to our companions, and buy a book or two. But I wish, here and now, solemnly to state that I never, never condescended to lift a lump off a cart, at least hardly well, unless it was manifestly inoonvenienoing the safety of the load or overburdening tbe safety of the horse, you know I" KRS.

When tbe survivor was re lieved from duty, he made tbe custom ary written report in tbe usual form, "Nothing extraordinary." And this brought tbe brigade major down upon him in a rage.

Tbey should use these precious March d iya for getting strong and well by taking Paine's celery compound tbe greatest of all spring remedies. Miss Elsie M. Brown of 3 Leeds St., Dorchester, Mass., whose pioture is given above, wrote the 6th of this month as follows: "Four or five years ago. I suffered with dreadful pains in my back (owing to my kidneys), so much so that night after night I oould not close my eves, and what few hours sleep I did get, I oonld be heard moaning and tossiug, showing that even in my sleep, I suffered pain. At times I wonld have more pain than usual over my left hip and when waking in the morning it would be all I oould do to stretch my iisib down straight, as there would) be a drawing and trembling of the cords. Besides suoh torturo, I began to bloat a grest deal. "After suffering for some time, a friend advised me tn try Paine's celery compound. I can truthfully say that after using four bottles I was oared; not helped, but cured."
