The proprietors of some of the worst of theee powders are now going from house to house, trying by means of a trick, or so-called test, with heat sand water, to show that their article is &s good as the Royal Baking Powder, making the comparison _with thils brand because everybody recognizs it to be absolutely pute and wholesome, the object, of course, being to snpply thefr own goods in place of the Royal, which the housakeepors have for 5o many years relied upon to poff up the morning biscult and to make the lght, palatable and wholesome roll, cake and pastry for which it is famous. Tha housekeeper will do well to be on hor gusrd against these baking powder tramps., Every intelligent person knows that any gcods peddled from house to house In this manner, or that are glven away in samples, or sought to be intro- duced by secretly traducing the character of other goods well known to be pure and reliable, have no merits of thelr own, and have falled to find purchasers through legitimate means. Wa aro informed, as a matter of fact, that one of these trampa is trying to in troduce a powder that has been found by the government chemist to be 11,85 per cent. lime, while the other peddles a powder that {s 20 per cent alum—one a powerful caustic, the other a corrosive polson. No such tricks of jugglery will be apt to decleve any intelligant person. The housekeeper who has used her Royal Baking Powder ever since she discarded cream of {artar and sods, knows more about its qualities than all the tramps in the country can teach her. The cruclal test to which she has put the Royal Powder—the test of actual and succees: ful work in the preparation of pure and wholesome food, under which it has never failed—is entirely eatisfactory to her. She has always had *‘good luck” with 1t in making Jight, sweet, and delicious braad, biscult, and cake, and has pliced it, to stay at tho head of her housekeeping fav- orites. She koows that it has been offi- clally approved by the go-ernment chem- istu as the best, and we imagine that the baking powder tramp who attempts to supplant its place in her confidence will find this a bad year for hls business. —— Seal of North Carolina Tobacco is the beat.

Judge Beneke has returned from hls eastern trip looking invigorated and re- freshed, and once more oceupled his pos- Ition yesterday on the bench of the police court, while Judge Welss has gone back to his daties as J.

Several days later he called at a number of the houses and finally re- turned fo Baton Rorge, where he wrote to one d thoe houtes, ordering a locket, using lithographed stationary with his name thereon, as is his castom. Some days later he again went to the Crescent city and inspscted the locket, which was not quile finished, Then he incidentslly remarld that he had purohased a pair of dlarond eardrops as a surprise for his wifo anl might as wall pay for the locket at tho mme time.
