Broad Statesmanship Is Needed. (Blkhart Independent.) . There is much - talk of conducting the government on “business principles,” and so far asits routine offices and the economical management of its affairs are concerned, there is great need of reform in this direction. But for the larger concerns of government, statesmenlike principles are needed. An international treaty is nota mere matter of dicker and sharp bargaining from a dollars-and-cents point of view. It involves questions of law, and may affect the destiny of the country in the future. A tariff framed by a committee of business men will be sure to “take care” of the special interests of those engaged in the work. What 1s required for a fair revision, in addition to the special knowledge of men trained in a mnarrow sehool, is the general knowledge of the needs of the whole counfry and the rights of a majority of the people, which it is the business of a statesman to acquite and apply.

The improved method by which it hus been made possible to produce pure cream of tartar, has had an important bearing upon the manufacture of baking powder. By the process heretofore generally employed, it has been found impossible to remove all impurities, more particularly the tartrate of lime, which remained to such an extent as to greatly impair the quality of the eream of tartar, and to interfere seriously with the sirength and wholsomness of the baking powders into which it entered. :

In the new process, which is owned by the Royal Baking Powder Company of New York, and exclusively employed in its extensive tartar works, the imperted crude grape acid is so treated as to remove all vestige of tartrate of lime or other impurities, giving a product before unknown--a chemically pure cream of tartar. By the employment of these superior facilities, the Royal. Baking Powder Company thas made the Royal Baking Powder, as the chemists all certify, of the highest possible degree of strength, “absolutely pure” and wholeseme, and with always uniform leavening power. Itisfor these reasons that the “Royal” never fails to produce bread, biscuif, cakes, etc, that are light, sweet, digesatible, and wholesome; the eating of which is never followed by imdigestion, or any of those physical discomforts attendant upon the partaking of improperly prepared food. In rendering possible the prodaction of a baking powder possessed of these qualifications, the improved method of refining creaxil of tartar becomes at once a matter of material imp(’)rta&nce‘ to the culinary world. . |

SHADOWS FLITTING BY. o BY MULHOOLEY.. | . All we have, or see around us, ~ All our days, our months, our, years, Not a spell that ever bound us In our joys, our hopes, our fears; Not a treasure we have cherished = ‘With affections dearest tie, : But in time shall all have perished— All are shadows flitting by, -What then of joy or sorrow, ) Of pleasure, pain or woe? They brook not of the morrow, Howso’ere thgy come or go; Buﬁ a moment we may claim them, | Then they swiftly pass us by; Nor may we ever regain them— They are shadows flitting by. * We may turn to memory’s pages, We may scan them o’er and o’er, Where we’ve kept the names and ages -Of the loved ones gone before, And how faintly we may trace them— Some we scarcely may disery, One by one does time efface them— All are shadows flitting by Thus changing, ever changing, With the shifting scenes of life, - Man is busy with arranging To compete with tofl and strife, Ever chasing some delusion Which his efforts all dety, When he wakes to the illusion—*>Tis a shadow flitting by!”
