wishing to go.

Anyone riding over the Eight Mile
country now, comparing it with nine

A very pleasant party assembled at
Mr. E. B. Stanton's and spent the hours
of stormy Christmas in a very pleasanl
manner. Old Santa Clans hid away a
number of presents in a box, atd at thf
proper time, guests were surprised al
receiving some nioe gifts with theii
names on them. It was a great pleasure'
for parents to find that they were remem
bered by their children who bad recent
ly gone to homes of their own, Neigh
bors too remembered fiiends. It was a
very pleasant and novel way of distribut
ing Christmas gifts. No child was
missed. There was a nice package of
candy and plenty of apples for them all.

Christmas Tree.
Intended for last week.
Christmas eve, with all its hallowed
associations, made dear to the hearts of the
young and old for centuries past, was
appropriately observed in this oity, by
an evenings enjoyment at the opera
house, under the supervision of the
various oommittees appointed by the
merchants and business men of Heppnor.
The.hall was crowded to its utmost with
a merry throng who bad gathered at an
early hour to listen to the exeroises, and
discover what "Santa Claus" bad prepar
ed for their espeoial denotation. The
exercises, the greater part of whiou our
reporter failed to hear, were composed of
recitations and songs, though not very
lengthy, yet appropriate for the occasion.
Next following this, was the distribution
of presents, of which the tree whs very
heavily laden. The merry glee that
came from all parts of the hall, though
not very pleasant to the callers, or those
dylivering presents, gave evidenoe that
everyone bad been remembered. Many
of the presents, too, were very pretty as
well as expensive, though such gifts are
not held for their real value, but rather
for the kindly intentions of the giver. At
the close everyone repaired to their
homes, feeliug that the evening had been
a very pleasant one.

Ammonia aud alum are the most com"
mon adulteranta used in the manufacture
of baking powders. The Government re
port shows that a large percentage ot the
baking powders on the market oontaiu
either one or the other, or both these
pernicious drugs.
What woman would use an ammonia
or alum baking powder if she knew it?
Suob powders not only undermine the
health, but ammonia gives to the com
plexion a sallow or blotched appearance.
The presence of ammonia or alum iu a
baking powder, however, can easily be
detected.
To Deteot Ammonia Mix one heaping
teaspoouful ot baking powder with one
teaspoonful of water in a tin cup; boil
thoroughly for a few moments, stir to
prevent burning, and it ammonia is pre
sent you can smell it iu the ruisinf steam
Or, pluoe a can of the suspected powder
top duwn on a hot stove for a minute or
to, then take of the cover aud smell.
To Detect alum. Alum powder oan he
tested by putting a oouple of tcaspoon
fuls of the powder iu a glass of cold
water. If no effervescence, that is tub
bliug or simmering, takes place, ooniiotnn
the powder and return it at once.
Some alum powders, however, like the
"Calumet," "Bon Bon," "Chicago Yeast,"
etc., contain phosphat s in oomhinutiou
with alum, aud with these brands the
following test iB simple and sure;
Tako one half teaspoonful of baking
powder in lid of say half pound can; ohar
thoroughly over a strong alcohol flame,
a good gas jet; or red hot coals. After
charing (that is burning until the whole
mass is black) add a teubpoonful of water
and place a bright piece of cilver c in in
the solution. Stir for one minute, them
take out the silver. If the powder piove
a oream of tartar powder the coin will
be bright ; if nu alum powder it will
have sulphur stains.
No 1 iionr a little vinegar into the lid
aud stnelt the fiiineg. Alum powders
give off sulphuretted hydrogen, which
may be detected by its fonl odor.

DRY FORK MATTUHS.
Thinking that a Bhort item from Dry
Fork might be of some interest to the
many readers of your exoelleut paper, I
send in a few notes.
In the first plaoe, tbe citizensof Rocky
Point district concluded to have B
Christmas tree on the eve of Christmss,
and after a short notice tbe people went
to work with a will and when the even
ing of the 24th had oomo, long before
dark the people began to fill the house,
and at 7 o'clock the house was filled to
its utmost oanacity. The meeting was
called to order by our worthy Santa
Claus, aud opened with siagiug and
prayer.
The next on tbe program was to un
veil the beautiful Christmas tree, which
was loaded to its fullest oapacity with
many valuable presents, very pleasing to
all. After the presents wore all distrib
uted theorowd was dismissed with sing
ing led by Mr. Cliarlstou, everyone feel-
glad that they bad come. After the
meeting was'disraissed part ot the crowd
drove to tfle residence of W. O. Akers,
rfhere Mr. Geo. M. Holmes and Miss
Sarah Melissa Snyder were joined in
marriage by the undersigned! In other
words, George has left the old baohelor
habits and took to himself a beautiful
wife.to. stay' with him onlns nioe ranch.

Envy
The Great Prestige of Royal
Baking Powder envied
by all competitors.
The envy shown by other baking powder man
ufacturers of the great prestige of the Royal
Baking Powder is not at all surprising.
For thirty years the Royal has been the stand
ard for purity and strength in baking powders,
and has been placed at the head by every board
of official examiners whether State or National.
The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its
own cream of tartar factory and the processes for
making the only absolutely pure cream of tartar;
it sends its product to millions of homes all over
the world, supplies the Army and Navy, the great
transatlantic steamers, the finest hotels and res
taurants, and is recommended by the best chefs
and authorities on cuisine in every land. Its
sale is larger than that of all other cream of
tartar baking powders combined ; it has more
friends among housekeepers than any other
similar article.
These facts are bitterness to the makers of the
inferior baking powders ; hence their advertise
ments, filled with malice, envy and falsehood,
against the Royal.
Consumers recognize a case of "sour grapes."
