There is used in the manufacture of the Royal BakingPowder more than half of all the cream of tartar consumed, !§Sin the United States for all purposes. This is required '.and must be chemically pure, and chemically pure cream V^of tartar could not be obtained in the markets of this country or Europe, which necessitated the building of specialworks, and the employment of special processes.

A Yard of Roses.

One of the popular paintings at the New York Academy of Design was a yard-long panel of Roses. A crowd was always before it. One art critic exclaimed, "Such a bit ol nature should belong to all the people, it is too beautiful for one man to hide away."

The Youth's Companion: of Boston, seized the idea, and spent twenty thousand dollars to reproduce tho painting. The result has been a triumph of artistic delicacy and color.

THEFTS FROM GOLD 30IN.

Hon Uncle Sam Has Been by Ingenious Italians nml Poles.

Tba United States sub-treasury officials of this city are greatly annoyed at present by the amount of light weight gold coin that is coming into their coffers. The gold is all short in value, and though there is no apparent difference in the size of the various pieces or theii weight to the uupraetieed observer, many of them have^ been reduced onethird of their value.

The OU1CI:JR do not hesitate to accuse persons of robtriT Uie trovemrcent by reducing the weii: ^, or the com. ar.il the government ha-s even gone so lar sis to take steps to stop the robbery. Assistant Treasurer Roberts said that many of the §5 gold pieces were fiity cents short, aud some of the $10 pieces were worth only (9.25. The $1 coins did not sufier much, because it would hardly pay to bother with them.

In every ease that his attention had been called to the face of the coin had not been worn or mutilated. The ligures and desires presented lines as sharp as new ones, and the milling hadn't been disturbed. These coins were, however, all short frotn twenty-five to fifty cents in value. These facts have caused tha officials to think that there are persons at work in the ci-fey who are making a regular business of defrauding the government.

The geld in these cases has been removed from the coin by means of a chemical process, which doss not appear te nfleet the general appearance of the monej\

An old treasury official, in speaking OL the fraud, gave mo some interest::) faots concerning this species of robbery. "Tkere are half a dozen ways of ger tinpr gold off coins,"' said lie. "brt the two most iu voiruo hra tiiose where acid is used, and in tne \ve»ttng' process. The latter is livr-t vo.^ue Pohsh Jews and Iulkr.s, who make a regular business of it. "In the lirsfc place they secure a stout canvas bag and fill it about half full of gold coins. Tho top of the bag is tied, and then the coins are shaken together for hours at a time. Tho friction of one coin rubbing against the other wears off considerable gold, and it is deposited at the bottom of the bag. Each time £290 worth of gold coin is treated to the 'sweating' process the Italian will probably secure $30 worth of dust. The coins when taken out look somewhat old —as if they had been in circulation a long time—but they will always be accepted by persons not used to handling money. "To a person familiar with the fratms, however, it is always easy to detect a coin that has been treated to a 'sweat.' The Italian will always take new coin for the purpose, and if a person will only stop to think he can also detect a light coin. The gold does not wear off as rapidly as is generally supiosed in ordinary circulation. Therefore when a person finds a coin which from its date ia only two or three years old,,that has a very worn appearance, it has undoubtedly been treated to a 'sweat.' These coins will always be found short weight, and people will save money if they watch the date and condition of the pieces they receive. "Tbe process of removing gold by an acid bath is now resorted to more generally than the old sweating system, as it is harder to detect the shortage in the coins. On 'sweated' coin the figures and milling are worn, while on the others the designs are not at all injured. To detect shortage in the latter coin weigh them."—New York Herald.

Practical Joking.

Practical joking has had many followers among "great men but the manner in which Beelfhoren was cured of it should be a lessen te aH who still practice the "art." The wife of a pianist in Vienna was a great admirer of the composer's works, and had set her heart on getting a lock of his hair. She induced her husband to gat a mutual friend to ask for it but the friend, being a practical joker, instead of carrying out her wishes, persuaded Beethoven, who also was fond of a practical joke, to send her a lock cut frosfi a billy goat's beard, the hair of whick in texture and color slightly resembled that of the composer's. The lady was vwy proud of her supposed treasure, until another friend, who knew the facts, informed her of the trick, when she was so distressed that h«r husband wrote an indignant letter to Beethoven. The composer's discourtesy to a kidy being thus brought home to kim, ke was so ashamed that he immediately wrote a letter of apology, inclosing a genuine lock of hair and he resolved never to be a party to uuen jokes again.—New York Ledger

Wl»at In and Is Nut Perpetual Motion.

As is generally known, a perpetual motion machine is one to be moved by a power furnisked by th® machine itself and net from any source outsido of it. A mill or clook run by the incessant rise a«d fall of the tide is not perpetual motion. Neither is a machine that runs by the power of terreetrial or other magnetism, or of the wind, or. of variations in the weight of the atmosphere, or by electricity coming from outsido of the machine, or by the force of heat coming from the sun. A wheel that could always of itself keep more weight at one sido than the ether and thus turn so long ae its materials lasted would be perpetual motion, and such has been the form of most of the machines invented for tbe purpose.—Chicago Herald.

Contempt of Conrt.

A stranger once walked into a Massachusetts court and spent some time watching the proceedings. By and by a man was brought up for contempt of court and fined whereupon the stranger rose and said: "How much was the fine?" "Five dollars," replied the clerk. "Well," said the stranger, laying down tbe money, "if that's all, I'd like to jine in. I've had a few hours' experience of this oourt, and no one can feel a greater, conteaapt for ir than
