Of all the fruits that grow to give uistenance and nourishment to man kind, the grape is the most famous. \ favorite stlbjer t of the poet, this healthful, luscious fruit has from the beginning of time been celebrated in song and story. Therefore it is a pleasure to know that to the grape we are Indebted for some of the fin est foods that go to our table, for from the grape is derived Royal Grape (Team of Tartar, the chief in gredient and active principle of the world-renowned Royal Baking Pow der. While the connection between bak ing powder and grapes may seem re mote, it is evident to those who know that cream of tartar exists in all ripe grapes, from which it is directly pro duced in tin* following manner: Flowing with the juice of the grape from tin* press in the manufacture of wine, the cream of tartar gradually separates therefrom and settles upon and adheres to the sides of the casks. Afier the wine is drawn off the tar tar is scraped away, boiled and puri fied with water. I rystals of cream of: tartar, white and very pure, are col lected, specially refined, and ground into an impalpable powder. This forms tin* Royal Grape (’ream of Tar- tar from which Royal Baking Pow- ( der is made. The exclusive employ- j ment cf this pure fruit acid has aided like yohr messmate done? Then.

His information is extensive i and he knows what others about him i for a considerable radius are doing, but he is not given to talking mm-h. : Of the father there is told an anec dote which has become a classic In Meriden. His knowledge of the financial con dition and position of others was known to be more accurate by far than that of the general run of peo ple: who find when a man dies that they really knew little of his real standing, and on one occasion an ac quaintance sought to take advantage of this. A mutual friend had died and the questioner wished to dispel the general doubt as to how much money he had left. “John,” he said to the present Bos ton & Maine magnate’s father,” I see So-and-So is dead.” “I guess he is,” remarked Billard.
