I ft Nothing can be substituted for the Royal Baking Powder -and give as good results. No other leavening agent will make such light, sweet, delicious, wholesome food. If some grocer's urge another baking pow der upon you", it is because of the greater profitupon it This of itself is evidence of the superiority of the "Royal." To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, . and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. To insure the finest cake, the most whole some food, be sure that no substitute for . Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you. VyvvYvvYVYVYVYVYVrVYvTvTvtvtvTTTTv Left la One Car la One Month.

One of the most important pownitR which J!r.

However, in tlie year a pe tition was presented to the lards n( the treuBr ury by the Loudon sword sellers, praying i leave to importstword blades froin Gennany I duty free. ! But, as a friend to the manufacturers of England, the Duke of Norfolk, then Earl of Surrey, one of the lords of the board, wrote a U-tter to a gentleman of Shuloeld, Mr. Eyre, to the followrhtjr purport: "You will pleutte inform those whom it may con cern that a petition has been this day (Oct. I) pnweuted to the treasury, praying per mUtion to import swords and sword blades from Germany, duty free, on ajrount of the inferior quality of the EngliHh blades. 1 should be very hnppy that any ingenious manufacturer of Sheffield would supply mo with such information, both as to price aud quality, as would enable me to remove so disgraceful a retiection on English inge nuity." i The business of sword making being, however, more immediately within the province of the Birmingham manufactur ers, Mr. Eyre sent Mr. Gill an extract from his lordship's letter, who, in December of that year, presented a memorial to the lords of the treasury stating that sword blades could be made by him of as good a quality as thaw from Germany or any oth er tuition and praying that the comparative goodness of those of both countries mifiht be examined into. It was not till the year ITSfi that Mr. Gill obtained the object of his pursuit, though he mode repeated and fruit lens attempt for that nurooee. for. on an order of 10.000 i,msv .nnt. i.,n iiif h ti East India company, which wm divided in di scrim inately among English and Gorman nmnufacturei, Mr. (Till, being still anxious for the comparative proof, presented a pe- tition to the committee of shipping of tbe aim company, requesting that all tl,, ronni. nf th rliftViwit countries and manufacturers might be proved by a test, K u u uta,,, the difference of their qualities. This produced an order for that purpose, and a resolution that none but such as on u-speciiuu and proof stood that khi wiouiu ue recem.-u. . .

Milk has many peculiaritiea that are yielding new results uuarly every day. He- sides heine very nutritious sulsttance it has hern found one of tbe best mediums through which to carry certain forms dis covered to pmutetts the pucuiiar prnpertiw at killing microbes, and microlie of the moflt deadly disease. If the cholera bacillus is put into milk drawn trwh mini the cow. It dies within an hour Fretdi goat's milk has similar properties, only not so deadly. The bacillus dies within five hours when put in tbe latter, hut the baeilluiiof ty phoid fever dies within five houm in goat'i milk and not before IN hours in cow's milk. Nearly all of the other microbes of dtseasea known to science are kilted in the same way by cow'i and goat's milk, the time re quired by the process varying indifferent disenses. But milk to possess this microbe destroy ing power most be frtwh, as after four or five days it has no effect upon tbe microbes. Milk that is kept at a temperature of 1UI degrees Fahr. also loses its power to kill tbe germs after an hour, and this fact is of considerable interest to the profession in view of the widely recommended plan of purifying milk by boiling it. There are many things yet about our fowl and its relation to disease germs that must afford perplexity to all, aud none is more impor tant than the relative value of uitiL Yankee Blade.

Popularity of the Soft Hat. With the advent of tbe soft felt hat named after Kossuth began the decline of tbe silk bat. The latter still remains an adjunct of ceremony. It has been putthed almost entirely out of tbe daily life of the masses. It is a surprbte that what is often called the stovepipe bat held Its place so long as it did, for it suggested very little of comfort. Perhaps it was atmpiy endured because it was a compromise between the steeple hat of the Puritans and the high but less stiff and formal hat of the later Elizabethan period. It bus been estimated that the output of the soft hat industry in this country it almost 5,tfX),0UO hats a month. They are recognized in Europe as the best in material and most artlHtic in style and finish that are made. Then, too, we control most of tbe trade in South America and MexicoFrank U.
