It is impossible to name nil tlio alum powders iu the market, but any baking powder sold at a low price, or advertized as costing only half us much ns cream of tartar powders, accompanied by u present, or disposed of under nny leucine, is of this class, detrimental to health, and to ho nvoided. r.ut the easy, safe, and certain protection of our bread, biscuit and enko from nil danger of uuwholesomoncss is In the uho of tho ltoyal Jinking I'owdcr only.

Whilo its uso is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders it is satisfactory at the sarao time to know tlint it mnkes the whitest, lightest, sweetest and most delicious food, which will keep moist nnd fresh longer, and that can bo eaten with immunity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and also that owing to its greater strength it is more economical than others. These facts should incline consumers to turn u deaf car to all importunities to buy the inferior powder.

ONE ot tlx> New York Son reporters visited Chinatown with party of frlea<'? wi ,>ul : Chinese dinner. One of the >arty, who used to frequent the fsnow Chinese restaurant in Sen Francisco and eras familiar with the diahee and th< outiue of a Chinese dinner, summoned i waiter, a small individual, whose American clothes sat upoi him verj Mdly. The waiter brought a small disb >f sweet pickle aud a butter diih coo mining a small quantity of a browi isuco resembling Worcestershire. Tiiu is tho Chinese condimeot and is ex :eedingly salt. It is otlled see ou. Hi ilao brought etch a bowl of steamet rice, surprisingly white an 1 dry, and ac ;ookcd tliut each grain was whole anc separate. The tea catne next in a small ware pot, with bowls the sixo of egg cups to dtink it from. All this was pre liminary. .id: ... .1,....,. I..K- ? "U1TO UB BWIUU V/IIV/|I lUJj UWilll, said the guide. "Forty cents, see?'* The Chinnmnn grunted and diiap pcarcd in tho kitchen. "You must a I ways indicate the amount you want of each dish by stating th? price," snid the guide. "I ordered forty cents' worth of chow chop auj, m that will bo onough for us both. While they are preparing it, for it takes a LLtth time, Wo-wtrt enc romtn^ Wlltr Chop neas. tstcu li'uur bread." Eating with chop sticks is not so difficult a mutter as most pooplo suppose. There is a popular idui that a Okiuamnn takes n stick in each hand and pro|>oU the food into his mouth in some mysterious process peculiar to himself. When the knack ia once acquired, however, chop aticks prove an efficient table utensil. The sticks nro a foot lon{, onehalf squared, the other rounded and sharpened. They can bo so gripped by their squared cuds between the thumb nud first fiugei of tho right baud, and stoadiod and directed by tho fingers, as to become at excellent pair of tongs Tuat is what, in fact, they arc in tho hand of the diner. Chop sticks are simply a single advuuco over primitive man's first table tool, tho thumb and lirtst linger. The chow chop suy was brought steaming hot iu a largo bowl. It ap|>e.ire 1 to he a stew without gravy. T-io principal ingredients were chicken livers, Atnciican mushrooms, dried Chinese mushrooms, celery, gir.znrds, and sprouted r;co. Tho wholo was flavored with spice's and had evidently been treated with oil. No plates wctc served, and tho stow was eaten Chinese fnsuion, from tho bowl. "A very excellent dish," said tho guide, "but don't cat too heartily, for wo have several other courses coming. This sprouted rice that you can soo ia tho bowl is doomed very Ibio by Ohinoso epicures. They sprinklo rioo on a piece <>( wet cloth until, in the course of a few days, the grains swell ami sprout. Tlicn they cook it. Our next dish will bo porfumed pork, n great dainty. Meantime, hero cornea our 'chick' with tho sam ku." 8*m ?hu jurovad to. ut}T(![T of ? milky appearance. The waiter brought it in n ware p it like A small, lender tea pot. Cups holding little 11 ore than a thimbleful were provided. Tho approved method of taking tho brandy is to mix it with the tea, a cup of the liquor in each tiny howl of tea. It doesn't do to drink too heartily of tho mixture. Indeed, the temptation to do so is small. 8aiu sliu is u crude uud raw distillation. Perfumed pork was tho nearest approach to civilized diet which was served. It was sliced into thin pieces and brought in a howl. Tho llcsli was lean and tender and had an exceedingly delicate ilavor produced liy unfamiliar spices. M cantime the crowd in tho restaurant was continually changing. As last as the diners finished they a row, wipeil their faces on their linnd* (there were no napkins), ahutUcd to the counter, paid thoir bills, uud left the room. Tlioy seldom spoke, and most of the time tho room was as silent as a tQuaker meeting. Tho places of those who left were tilled by new-comers. Tho restaurant does a big busiuoss. 'Waiter," snid tho guide, "chow gai men, seventy cents. See?" The little waiter uttered his customary grunt and vanished. "Chow gai men," continued tho guide, "is ono of tho dainties. They make it here to perfection. It consists of a mass of spiced macaroni fried crisp hi melted fat, liko doughnut-, ami covered with a dressing of chicken livers, mushrooms^ and stewed celery. * am suro you will like it. The amount 1 ordered is enough for half n dozen, but they will not make less, for it is a troublesome dish to handlo. This will complete our dinner, for there is no dessert or coireo. Our dinner has ho? exceptional ono f?i cuio restaurant, notwithstanding that it is thcswcllest in tho c.ty. There are comparatively few rich Chinamen in New York, and they all .avo their own kitchcus, presided over y high-priced cooks. The diners are many of them well oil, but C.nn.a nau are alwav thriltv. aud it is possible to live very nicely here nt a very small outlay. Our dinner will cost us $1.30 apiece. Kew Chinamen will scud inorc than fiftv i r sixty cent* for a inoill. For that amount of money a very excellent linner can lie had, for rice is ouly tivo < cnta n bowl ami tea is nothing. One or i wo nice dishes can be bought for half a dollar. So cheie you arc." But many of these Chinamen," said tho reporter, "have oaten nothing but i;ce." "Yes, hundreds of Chinamen in this city eat nothing else than rice the year round. You see how cheap John can live if lie wants to. lie comes here and orders a five-cent bowl of rice, lie gets ail the tet he wants for nothing. It costs him fifteen cents a day to live. Hundreds more cat rice for all tliwr :teals but dinner. Then they buy an i stra dish of sonic sort for tweuty-five :etita more. Expenses forty cents a day. I'ca is not considered at all. It is as fieo is water. In every Chinese Bhop, wholes d.e or retail, a teapot stauds on the muter, kept warm by a silk tea-cosey, ml in every home tea is somewhere on up. It is not even the custom to oflor l i to visitors. If the visitors want it, t .ey ask for it as uticouceruedly as though asking for a glass of water. f?o it is in ^ ; the rcetaaraate.

The waiter sorvoa small plates and aa aromatic sauce with the cbow gai men, which looked ia its deep dish not unlike a smoking plum podding.

Irt place of the somber globe you wndd naturally expect to behold your eyes would be greeted with a most wonderful sight. The earth would appear to you to be sixty-four times larger than the suit appears to the residents of this mundane sphere; this because the earth has eight times the diameter of tho moon, therefore she must necessarily show the moonites sixty-four times ns much surface as tho moon shows us. The suit* on the other hand, would appear no larger to you from your observatory on the moon than it docs from our Tho n^.u.'o atmosphere being bluo it Jim been decided that the earth must appear as a bluo ball to all ouUido onlookers.

A prospector now in Yum*, an-1 who made the trip here from Dure ago, Col , with two horses, ??}s that the time hon ored burro, who&e ancestry is inseparably mixed up with Mexican history, it not as good au nuimal for desert travel as the ordinary mustang horse. It has always been considered thnt the burro had the advantage of the horse in his capacity for enduranoo on a slim diet. This, the gcntlemuu states, is not so great as is generally considerc 1, although he ouce had a burro who ate a pair of gum boots an<l a Navajo blanket one afternoon. This was done merely to show off and was not considered to be a nutritious meal even by the jackass himself, who was of French descent, and merely wished to put on style to humiliate a band of scrub mustang horses with whom he was forced to associato. The gontlemsn whn has had experienoc with both classes of animals prefers horses to the slow burro and says that although the latter will live a day longer without food or water, yet the distance covered by the horse in a given time is so much in his favor as to render him the superior of the immobile bnrro.?Yuma (Ari'iuua) Timet ;v^9RHBKl " ' v *J&,i I IftJ A itoM far for bntd cntokbo u to ll* M|Hv|P a wed?appoiated pantry.
