VRY BAKING POWDERS ARE BEST.
(From Haire Journal of Health.)
Bakipg powders are properly compound-
ed, and containing pure cream of tartart
re inore convenient than yeat ; aed bread
ncl peetry made with them are jest no
boloome mid far more palatabe.
We are in sympathy with the natinufac-
mere of the Royal taking Powder -who
ommenced and are Vigorbursly conducting
he war against the use of edulterated
akink powders,
Belem committing oureelvee, however,
6 made tests of a enfti cient "limber of
airing powders to satisfy oureelvee that
c eubstitution of Alum for eteam of
rtar in their opposition has tot been
er ektimated, wInte a careful examination
the Royal Baking powder confirms our
lief that Dx. Mott, the Goverment Chem -
t, when he siegied out and emtimended
is powder for its wholetonieneest did it
holly in the interests' of the public.
We do not hesitate to say tba,t the
oyal Baking Powder peoole deserve the
latitude of the community whom they are
steaming to protect.

The 13 abject of this sketch, Bill Ned
Stanlny, is one of the most enterprising
men in ,Lucan. Bill Ned, like all other
illustrious men, was born quite young on
hie father's hoinestead :on the 2nd con. of
Biddnlph in the year 1842, Away hack in
those days the• settler had scarcely any of
the comforts of this progressive period, and
Bill Ned being the first arrival in the
Stanley manaien and in fad the settlement
he was the wonder of the whole neighbor-
hood, and settlers for miles around came to
see the little ouriosity. Standing with
glaring eye 061(1 gaping mouth the little
cherubim, Bill Ned, put in his best squalls
much to the satisfaction of his admirers.
At the age of ten years Bill Ned's first
achievement was the invention of a stone
boat, Ind at fourteen he invented an im-
proved leather sucker forhie father's pump,
Bill Ned unlike the immortal George Wash-
ington, who was whipped for outtin5 his
father's choicest cherry tree, spent the
earlier years of his life laying low. the
eergin forest. One day while felling
monarch: of the forest, ho encountered a
large black bear and two cubs all of -widish
he 'slaughtered with his little hatchet. At
the age of 20 Bill Nod meandered into
:Own dressed in a hickory shirt and rattle-
snake breeches. Bill Ned, being of a
commercial turn of mind was disgusted
, with rural life, secured a situation in the
store of his uncle the well known general
merchant of this town, Mr. B. Stanley,
where by his industry and close attention
to business, he soon became a partner.
About the year 11470 a craze for collecting en
ancient and strange coins tered the head
of the intellectual 13111 Ned, and he has
One of the finest collection on this conti-
nent. Bill Ned and Sootth Willie viaited
the centennial held at Philadelphia in 1876.
Bill Ned there received a bronze Medal
for his ouriositiee. Bill Ned is now the
pet and pride of the old ladies of Biddulph
08 he settles every family dispute and
arrangeo every wedding for Mil& aroinicl.
Ite the earlier days, Bill Nod had a heavy
head of curly hair; but now he sports a
tkating rink on the fop of his cranium.
Bill Ned was a member .of the fishery
conemission last year, he being thoroughly
posted in the streame which flow through
the comity of Middlesex. Bill Ned is neW
an olcl land. mark in the village and hie
cheerful phisog and winning voice are one
of the principal features of ()lir booming
little village. As a 'wire puller he hap no
equal and is an ardent Coneervativeitt
polities. He 18 now in the prime ot life
and if no unforseen accidents occur Bill
Ned his a gerund and glorious future before
him. Among the many engagements of
his life \008 the clevelepinent of the Russel
patent foxes, and a coutraetinginterest in
the binding twine market of the county.
.Beth of these he has made a grand slimes
aa he advertises himself to be manager of
100 tons of twine aoet 120 tolls uf Remo'
