The establishment of the Christian
coda of morals and mnnuers was not
iostantuieou*. It is not yet complete
or universal. It probably never will

who abide by it are never immodest,
because the heart informed by it« pre-
cept* infallibly contro'e thoughts, and
thoughts in rational hum in* character-
ize expression.
It we compare tngiish literature of

A MATTER OF HEALTH.
Housekeepers faintly realize the
of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers, with such per-
sistency by peddlers arid many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inflame the
alimentary organs and caus« indiges-
tion, heartburn, diarrhaeal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-pro-
ducing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers arc aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes'. Yet unscrupulous manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make a very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all k.nds of allur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sentations. All the low priced or so-
called cheap baking powders, and all
powders sold with a gift or prize, be-
long to this class.
Haking powders made from chemic-
ally pure cream of tartar and bi-car-
bonate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole-
some ingredients or they must be ta-
booed entirely.
Dr. IZdson, < ommissioccr of Health
of New York, in an article in the
"Doctor of Hygiene," indicates that
the advantages of a good baking pow-
der and the exemption from the dan-
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recom-
mends this to all consumers. "The
Royal,'' he says."contains noching but
cream of tartar and soda refined to a
chemical purity.which when combined
under the influence of heat and moist-
ure produce pur, cirbonic, or leaven-
ing. gas. The two mat?rials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfect-
ly harmless even when eaten, but in
this preparation they are combined in
exaci compensating weights, so that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav-
ing been taken to form carbonic-acid
gas." Hence it is. he says, that the
Royal Making Powder is the most per-
fect of all conceirable agents for leav-
ening purposes.
It seems almost inc.-edible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those
of a well known, pure, and whole-
some character simply for the sake of
a few cents a pound greater profit; but
s nee they do. a few words of warning
tieem to be necessary.

A Home In n Canoe.
I hav« b on leadiujf a strange b:it f«r
from disagreeable life. I have becu
exploring and Surrey!*; a large dis-
trict betw eu Old Calabar and the Cain-
ersu. Te do the water part of tho
Journey I hired at Old Calabar a large
native canoe with a house in it, an ar-
rangement faintly resembling tho house
boat on the Thames.
At one osd of it ia a largo box of
fand. On this my cookinjr fire is made.
A fire, in fact, is kept burning day
and night, so that with n few min-
utes' notice I cau have a cup of tea or
cocoa.
In the house, which has two email
windows and two sliding doors and
a thatched roof, there is just room for
my bed, dressing bag. table, chair, and
canteen. The canteeQ is a wicker-work
boy, with knlres, forks, plates, etc.
Thgre are also shelves and hooks in
the house, by which a lot of things are
stowed away ia a surprisingly email
spaco.
Outside the house, in the forward
part of the canoe, is a clear spaco with
r. level floor und small seau around,

ed roof, iteru, in daytime, I put mv
