IMPORTANT FOOD TESTS.

Bow to Produce More Economical and Healthful Articles for the Table. The official food analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have been studied with Interest. The United States government report gives the names of eighteen well-known baking some of them advertised as pure cream-of-tartar powders, which contain alum. The report shows the Royal to be a pure cream-of-tartar baking powder, the highest in strength, evolving 160.6 cubic inches of leavening gas per single ounce of powder. There were eight other brands of cream-of-tartar powders tested, and their average strength was 111.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of powder. . The Canadian government Investigations were of a still larger number of powders. The Royal Baking Powder was here also shown the purest and highest in strength, containing fortyfive pgr cent more leavening gas per ounce than the average of all the other cream-of-tartar powders. These figures are very instructive to the practical housekeeper. They indicate that the Royal Baking Powder goes more than 33 per cent, further in use than the others, or is one-third more economical. Still more important than this, however, they prove this popular article has been brought to the highest degree of purity—for to its superlative purity this superiority in strength is due—and consequently that by Its use we may be insured the purest and most wholesome food. The powders of lower strength are found to leave large amounts of impurities in the food. This faqt is emphasized by the report of the Ohio State Food Commissioner, who, while finding the Royal practically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent, of inert or foreign matters. The statistics show that there is used in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder more than half of all the creamconsumed in the United States for all purposes. The wonderful sale thus indicated for the Royal Baking Powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—is perhaps even a higher evidence than that already quoted of the superiority of this article, and of its indispensableness to modern cookery. The Deepest Shaft Is in Michigan. The deepest mining shaft in America Is not on the west coast among the celebrated gold and silver lodes, as one .might expect, nor in the coal regions of Pennsylvania, or among the “mines of the Montezumas” in Mexico. It is a common, every-day copper mine at Opeechee, Mich., which, at last accounts, was far beyond three-quarters of a mile in depth. The mine in question is called the “Tamarack,” and is reputed by experts to tap the richest copper lode in the world.

CORN FOR THE WORLD

GREATEST CROP IN THE COUNTRY’S HISTORY. Estimate* of Conservative Statisticians Place the Yield at 2,375,000,000 Bushels—Railway Managers Put the Figures 25,000,000 Higher. Prospect Is Good. Confronted with a corn crop which promises to be hundreds of thousands of bushels larger than the largest ever recorded in the history of the country, the question arises: What is to be done with it? Railway managers estimate the crop at about 2,400,000,000 bushels, and* even allowing that the interests of railway properties may, have caused such managers to let their imaginations color tha facts, the estimates of conservative statisticians based on the latest Government crop report make the crop over 2,375,000,000 bushels. Shortly after the war there was a time when corn had to be sacrificed in various ways to get rid of it, but only twice since 1874 has the yield reached 2,000,000,060 bushels. In 1889 the yield was 2,112,892,000 bushels, and it was thought' to be a record breaker for all time. The crops of 1891 aggregated 2,060,154,000 bushels, and the surplus was so great that in Kansas the corn was burned for fuel, it not being Worth shipment out of the State. However, some of the best posted men in the grain trade are of the opinionjthat none of the crop of 1895 will need to be burned, even though if exceeds any previous crop by 300,000,000 bushel's. On the contrary, the statistical position of supply and demand would seem to justify the opinion that this enormous corn crop will be a great boon to the country and prove the financial salvation of many a farmer whose wheat crop has been nearly ruined. It takes a long stretch of the imagination to grasp the fact that 82,000,000 acres oi corn, one of the largest acreages known, are nqw flourishing under the most perfect weather conditions ever seen. Railway managers have already begun to arrange proper transportation facilities for the corn, and the chances are that every bushel of it will be used up or sent out of the country at fairly good prices. In view of this prospect it will be of Interest to note certain facts in connection with our corn crops. In the first place, it is a fact that as a rule the larger the total yield the greater has been the export, and generally speaking, the greater the yield the larger has been the percentage of the whole exported. The three largest and two smallest yields for the last thirteen years will pretty fairly illustrate the general fact. The figures are as follows: Bush., Bush., P. Ct Year. crop. export, export. 1890 ...2,112,892,000 103,418,709 4.85 1892 ...2,060,154,000 76,602,285 3.72 1889 ...1,987,790,000 70,841,673 3.57 1888 ...1,456,161,000 25,360,869 1.74 1891 ...1,489,970,000 32,041,529 2.15

INDIAN WAR ON.

- / Wyoming Settlers Arm Themselves and Prepare to Fight. The Indian war has broken out in earnest. The vague rumor that a white man and his wife and child had been killed in the Wyoming Salt River Valley, andt&at settlers in retaliation had killed six of the redskins is confirmed. The excitement among the settlers, in Northwestern Wyoming over the threatened uprising of the Bannock and Shoshone Indians is growing more intense every day. They are leaving their ranches in large numbers and gathering at favored points for mutual protection in case the irate Indians return to seek- vengeance for the death of their brother braves. The story of the killing of the three whites and six Indians is spreading alarm at rapid rate. The settlers are becoming thoroughly aroused, and if they are not soon protected by government troops they will take the field in protection of their own homes and lives, and they are well

qualified by long experience in thia country to do even more effective fighting than the regulars. The Indiana realize that the cowboys are more dangerous than the troops. The reds know they can surrender to the soldiers and they will be in no further danger, but when the frontier volunteers go out to.hunt Indians they fight as the Indians do themselves. They shoot to kill and kill all In sight. The trouble originated when thirty men set out from Jackson's Hole to arrest a band of Indians for violating the State game laws. In Hoback canyon they discovered an Indian camp and at daylight surprised the Indians and captured them all without a shot being fired. In this camp they found 135 green elk skins. Each Indian was started back for the Hole with a white man at his back with his rifle across his arm ready for any emergency. The squaws were in the rear with the packs, and William Crawford in the rear of the aquawe with the constables in charge. When'nearly through an Indian set out a war whoop and every Indian, squaw and all, broke from the trail and attempted to escape. The posse immediately opened fire, and in the laconic language of the report, “all the Indians were( killed except one 1 papoose,” The posse immediately covered up all trace of tltetr deadly work, shot the Indian horses and hastened back to Marysville, Jackson’s Hole. The settlers there immediately began to prepare for the worst Prof. F. D. Robinson, for twenty-one years dean of'Latln language and literature at Kansas university, is dead.

No Hurry in Norway.

These Norwegians are a wonderfully patient people. They never hurry. Why should they? There is always time enough. at 0. Monsieur goes to business at 10 or so, and returns to his dinner, like all the rest of the Scandinavian world, at 2:30. We reach coffee and cigarettes at about 4, and then monsieur goes back to his office, If he likes, for two or three hours. We sometimes see him again at supper at 8:30, but usually there Is a game of whist or a geographical society lecture or a concert or a friend’s birthday fete (an occasion never overlooked by your true Norwegian), or someone has received a barrel of oysters, and would not, could not, dream of opening them without champagne and companymasculine company only. It seems to me that there are entirely too many purely male festivities here. In fact, the men say so themselves, and that they would really enjoy many of the occasions much more if ladles Wbre present But “it is not the custom of the country” (a rock on which I am always foundering) to omit or to change In such Monsieur only does as do all the other men of his age, which is elderly, and condition, which is solid. There Is a curious feeling concerning America over here, in one way and another. Morgenbladet, the chief conservative paper, an organ locally of the first importance, keeps a sort of horror chamber of Americana. The reason is, I suppose, that in these very dark and troublous political times, when not only the union, but the monarchy itself, is threatened and tottering, the conservative interest thinks it dangerous to aMow any virtue to appear In a re-~ public, and especially in ours, the most flourishing, and therefore the most pernicious, example of that invention of evil bred. ..... .

“Jack and Jennie.” Sea Bathers.

All the life guards at Atlantic City and in fact everybody who frequents the beach during the bathing hours are on familiar speaking terms with “Jack” and “Jennie,” the most corpulent, the wittiest, the jolliest and the most persistent surf bathers along the coast. They are man and wife. Jack can easily tip the scales at 300 pounds, while his better half is only a shade lighter. They have been coming down to Atlantic City for the past ten years, and wherever people make merry Jack and Jennie can be seen occupying a prominent position and having more fun than anybody else. Rain or .shine, hot or cold, the well-matched pair can be seen in the surf a couple of hours every day from the first of June until the first of September. The couple are prime favorites with the young people, and if Jack wants to take a pretty girl out in the surf for a frolic he meets no opposition from the affable Jennle. Both of them can swim fairiy~weff,T)ut their forte seems to be in floating. Jack was always a good hand at floating, but it took a couple of season’s hard work to teach Jennie the graceful art. Even to this day when she attempts it Jack always stands by ready to lend a helping hand in case feminine nature should assert itself and Jennie.lose confidence. —Philadelphia Record. - •

B. Calhoun, residing at 1747 East. Madison av., Cleveland, Mr. Lloyd said that he was at present out of a job, but expected to go to work next week at the Bridge works. “Anyway I have the promise of a job there,” Were his words. He had been out of employment since last fall. We will let him tell his story in his own words: “Work was a little Slack, and I was feeling so bad - that I concluded to lay off for a. few days, and when I returned my place was filled, so I’ve been out ever since. I don’t care much, though. I’ve been gaining right along by my rejst and treatment. Last fall I went to a doctor who was recommended to me as a good one and with quite a reputation t He gave w . medicines of all kinds for nearly six weeks and I got no benefit that I could’-see;—ln fact I don’tbelieve he knows what is the matter with me. A friend of mine called one evening and told had been using Rlpans Tabules for a short time, and had never found anything that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they t did. He handed me a circular about them, which I read, and concluded that they were just what I needed and would fit my case exactly. I dropped Dr. at once, went over to the drug store and got a 50-cent box of them, out of which I took two a day for a while, and within three days noticed and felt much improvement. That was about the middle of December. Last Feb- ' ruary I got another small box of * the Thbules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so much better that T didn’t think I needed any more. The rest of the box I gave to John the other day. If I had heard of them at the time I stopped work I could have saved my doctor bill, and, better than all, probably kept right on with my work. But I do not begrudge the time Jost nor the doctor bill, as I feel I am well paid for having learned of the Tabules. I now feel no pain whatever in my stomach, liver and bowels active aqd regular, and eat like a well man should eat"
