The claim is on nuudia

French maintained people. than But is here comB again ! on tho ..^ ques¬
tion of chronology recurs. How long
have the English upper classes been so
perfectly and continuously clean as the*
today? Observe that it is the con¬
tinuity of the cleanliness that makes all
tho difference. Tho skin of a Frenchman
ia clean after he has taken his warm bath,
bat ho does not take one every morning.
Tho Englishman, unless his health is too
delicate to bear it, sponges himaelf cA
over every morning in his own dressing
This custom began to be prevalent I
amongst young men Fn England whoa
was a boy. The .men of the preceding
generation did exactly as Frenchmen do
to-<lay; they took a warm bath occasion¬
ally for cleanliness, and they took shower
baths when they were prescribed by the
physician for health, and they bathed in
summer seas for pleasure, but they did
not wash themselves all over every morn¬
ing. I remember an old gentleman, oi
good family and estate, arguing against
this strange, new-fangled custom, and
maintaining that it was quite unneces¬ times,
sary to wash tlm skm in modern
as the impurities were removed by linen.
However, the new custom took deep root
in England, because it became one of the
signs of class. It was adopted as one of
the habits of a gentleman, and afterward
spread rather lower, though it is not yet
by any means universal. It is chiefly
upon this habit that the present English
claim to superior cleanliness is founded.
In former times the English were proud
of using more water than the French for
ordinary ablutions, and they pretended
to believe that the French were unac¬
quainted with tho use of soap, because
they did not provide public pieces of soap
in the bed chambers of their hotels.
The English have now- a clean upper
class, but not yet a clean people, at least
according to the evidence of physicians
who write on health. The same physi¬
cians are still more severe on the con¬
cealed dirtiness of many people in the
middle classes, a subject that is pleasanter
not to dwell upon.
The English upper classes are, by theii
good example and by their habit of trav¬
eling, the great teachers of cleanliness in
western Europe. Their baths, ewers,
water basins and other complicated toilet
arrangements are coppied very extensive¬
ly in Franco. If you visit a pot shep in a
■mall provincial town, find quite remote from
the channel, you will English wash
stand services of full size, or good Fwncb
copies of them; and if you go to the iron
monger’s you will find all kinds of haths
for domestic In use, including English
sponge baths. French houses, where
the old, small ewers and basins are re¬
tained, they are now almost invariably
■upplemented by a capacious tin water
jug on the floor. In fact, the French are
becoming a cleaner people, an improve¬
ment in which the English have taken
the load, being about forty yearn in ad¬
vance.— Philip Gilbert iiamerton in Tbs

A HINDU JEWELER.
T! angle* of tho Choicest Design MannfaeW
ured from English Florin*.
One of my companions, having mads
a bargain with the smith, handed him
three English florins which he desired to
have manufactured into one bangle of
the choicest East Indian design and
workmanship. The coolie man heated
tho coins, cut them into narrow pieces,
of which ho -welded the ends together,
using hammer and anvil, thus making
a bar four or fivo inches long, and,
as I remember, two or three lines in
width and thickness. Covering one
end of this strip of metal with damp clay,
to protect his fingers from the heat, the
bangle maker stuck the silver into the
diminutive charcoal fire, which ho set
aglow by blowing through a tube similar
in appearance to a glass blower’s pipe,
When the metal was at a dull red heat he
l«at it soundly, forging it round and
smooth carefully to the diameter of telegraph wire;
then, lx-nding it in a circle,
joined the two ends, welding them to¬
gether neatly and with dispatch. This
done, and the joint having been covered
•with a rough mass of hot silver fashioned
Into a ball of tho size of a small cherry,
tho Hindu held out tho half finished
trinket for our inspection and approval,
lie next smoothed and polished the sur¬
face of tho ball by hammering; then ho
graved and stamped it with various dies,
cutting simple, conventional patterns of
irregular design.
Next, having selected a small silver
serpent from an assortment of ready
made devices and charms which ho kept
In a eocoanut shell, ho plunged it into
the lire, and blew through his blowpipe
until tho cobra became Wood red. Pinch¬
ing tho reptile’s tail between two bits of
moist clay, the Hindu drew it from The
fire, and, before it lost its angry hue,
deftly corkscrewed the emblem of im¬
mortality around tho wire of the banglo
in four completo coils, all the time tap¬
ping the snake hero and there gently
with his mallet, in this way fastening it
securely in its place. Plunging the orna-
sient into a calabash of eocoanut oil, he
waited till the serpent ceased hissing,
and the Indian bracelet was then ready
to bo clasped cn the wrist of whomso¬
ever gallant gentleman had in his mind
when he found it in his heart to give the
order for it.—William Agnew Paton.
The Strength of Wood.
In a paper on the strength of different
kinds of wood for building purposes,
Professor Johnson calls attention to tho
fact, as now demonstrated, that many
cheaper kinds of timber may prove more
valuable for structures than more ex¬
pensive varieties, which have, been sup¬
posed to be stronger, and, therefore,
more desirable. Thus, pine supports or
pillars have been found stronger than
oak ones, when tested in large samples.

OUR BREAD IN DANGER.'
The United States Government Chemists, in their
examinations of articles of food offered for Government
use, have developed the fact that almost all the baking
powders upon the market are made from alum or phos¬
phates, or contain large quantities of lime or other adulter¬
ants. As a matter of fact, of the samples analyzed, the
Royal was the only baking powder found free from all of
these deleterious ingredients, and absolutely pure.
Alum is used as a substitute for cream of tartar to
produce a cheap baking powder. The effect of alum upon
the system has been ascertained to be poisonous, and over¬
doses have been attended with fatal results. The phosphate
are next to the alum powders in cheapness. They contain
a large amount of lime. The baking powders sold with a
gift are of the alum or phosphate class.
lame when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount
of carbonic acid gas, but a quicklime is left, one of the
most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found
twelve per cent., or one*-eighth of the weight, of some of
the baking powders advertised as pure to be lime.
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder—now affirmed by every chemist and food
analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers
of other brands—arise from the exclusive, use of cream of
tartar which is specially refined by patent processes that
totally remove the lime and all other impurities.
In his report, the United States Government Chemist
says: 4 ‘‘The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for
I have bo found it in many tests made for the United States
Government. I will go still further and state that It is
undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder
offered to the public.”
