figures by four. This would make

selah'a 2121 years. I'roliably this
was as great an ago as any of them
over attained.
There were in England in 1851
some very old pea-noun 319 of thorn
had attained agva bctwecu 100 and
119 years. Captain Labrush, who
died in New York about the year
1870,;it was alleged, was III years
old.
About the beginning of this con-
tury two Knglish authors gnLhcrcd
the nanus of 3IG2 persons whose
age were 100 or more years. Hal
ter claims to havo seen one person
132 years old and another lfi'J ) eui
old. Cornelius Watford collected
the names of 209 jMiiirous who hud
lived to be 120 or more years. V.n
Itvd once claimed a resident who
was 207 years old. Ilia name was
Thomas Cam, and ho died nt Shore-
ditch lu the year 15:18. This is the
oldest person whose great age has
boon recorded sincu. the Hood.
Since that period the Uibte records
the agus of Abraham at 175 years,
Isaac at ISO, Jacob at 147, and
Sarah, the oldest woman, at 127
years.
Louisa Truxo, a negretaot Ilnull,
was reported in 1780 to lie 175
years old hen she died. Thomas
Iirr, of Shropshire, hnglaml,
whoso name has liccii frciiueutly
quoted, was accorded 152 years at
his death, in 103.1. The 8L I'eters
bnrg Gasrtte in 1M12 reported tie
death of a Russian who was let ween
200 and 205 years old. Tito ago o!
Dr. rurr at 152 years Is probably
bettor authenticated than any of
Uie others of thorn more than one-bnndred-aud
fifty-year old people,

In 18VS0
we- used $22,000,000
worth of tiu-plale In this country
and, paid for it iu grain, provisions
aud cotton. Or it may be said that
England bought 122,000,000 worth
of our grain, provisions and cotton
which it paid for in tiu plate. The
intention of theMcKluley bill is to
partly prohibit the use of tin-plate
in payment of what is bought by
Encland from our Western and
Southern Ftntes. Hut let us sup
pose the tax wholly prohibitive in
the case of tin pluto or any other
article, as it lain some ciues. Is it
not then obvious that the prohibi
tion acts also against what wo have
to sell! Actual coin is about as
scarce in England as it is in the
United States, and this being true
it is plain that if Knglaml is not al
lowed to buy our grain and so on,
excent for actual coin, wo must
have the bulk of these articles left
on our hands to overload this mar
kct and keep dowu prices. If this
is true, (aud it undoubtedly is,) it
is a fact of most essential impor
tance to the exporting states, that
is to say, to tho agricultural states
of the West and South. If m 18!3
thoimportationoff22,000,000worth
oftin plato used by England in
1H80 in part payment for our ex
ports wero prohibited, .tho effoet
would be to cut down our exports
to near tho same amount. Wheu
wo pay a tariff bonus of eighty
cents on the dollar's worth of tin.
plate or any article which oaunot
be naturally produced iu this coun
try at a profit, it is entirely powif.
ble to produce it by this costly
process of forcing, but it is ouly
common senso to count tho cost,
and tho cost is nearly ,doubo in
everv such case Tho same law
which taxes up tho price of tiu
nlate. of clothing, of plows, taxes
down the price of grain, of provis
ions and all tho farmers' produc
tions. If tho agricultural states
will remember this, thoy will have
command of their own future. It
is tho secret of prosperity for thorn
as exporting states, and they can
never roach any stable prosperity
until they realize it. Iicmomber
these two points, tho Increased cost
to thecousumer of the article thus
manufactured by aid of taxation,
and the decreaso in exportation of
the articles of which we have a
surplus above our own wants.

Svlaac In Itrcad Making.
At tho recent annual meeting
of tho American Chemical Society,
held in Washington, I). C, the
question of tho value of carbonate
ammonia as a leavening agent in
bread, or as used in linking pow.
dors came np for discussion, in
which Prof. Barker, of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, and Presi
dent of tho Society; Dr. Itiehard
son, late of tho United States De
partment of Agriculture in Wash
ington; Dr. Win. McMutrie, late
Professor of Chemist ry iu tho Uni
versity of Illinois; Dr. E, II. Bart
ley, lato Chemiht of tho Brooklyn,
N. Y., Board of Health, aud Pro
fessor of Chemistry of tho Long Is
land College, and others took part.
Tho consensus of opinion was
overwhelming iu favor of the em
ployment of ammonia It was Btated
as a fact that amomuia rendered the
gluten of the flour more soluble
than the original gluten, and that
tho bread in which this action was
produced by carbonate of ammonia
must Iks more digestible and heuee
more healthful, and because of tho
PROTECT OUR BREAD.
The machinery of the law has not been put to work
too speedily against the, fraudulent use of ammonia and;
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of
the people are demanding protection. The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
It will bo in the interest of public health when their sale
is made a misdemeanor in every State in the UNION, and
the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. Then la BO
article of human food more' wickedly adulterated than that
of Baking Powder.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only put
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is fret
from ammonia, alum or taint of any kind of impurity. It
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake
that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. It coats
more to manufacture :Dr. Price's than any other baking
powder. It is superior to every otlier known and tha
standard for forty years.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any otlier adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never beerx qua
