Not Affected by Age. Some old '•pccimen.s of Royal Baking Pow der that had been kept on the shelf of a gro cery store fo? ten years were recently tested by Prof. Sehadlerof New York for the purpose of measuring the loss of strength they hail under gone. It wis found that, although the pow der had been exposed to atmospheric changes during all this time —for it was not in air-tight cans —it* loss of raising power i.r -trength was less than one per cent., the powder being prac tically as good as the (lav it was put up. This is a most valuable qua! y i:i a bak ing powder, one which few |. i ve-s. Most powders if not used when first nri.de arc found to be ineffective. If kept even a few weeks they lose their leavening power, become lumpy or caked, and valueless. This superior keeping power in the "Royal" arises from the extraordinary care iu its manu facture, and the scientific principles employed in its combination. The articles used in its composition are thoroughly dried by heat be fore being compounded, and are .so prepared and coated as to prevent the action of the acid upoti the alkali prematurely, or except under the influence of heat or water necessarily used in cooking or baking. The Royal is now used extensively in Aus tralia, Africa, and other latitudes, where it h::s been found to he the only baking powder that will withstand the hot, moist atmosphere with- j out deterioration.

' ; The first volume of the census of I ISBO has at last made its appearance, , and the details furnished in it are of r general-interest, although many of the - j general results it contains have already j been published. , | The population of the United States t is thus classified : f j Males Co.ol 5.,320 White 43,-102,1170 ■ I Females 1; 1 Colored iv">so,7!'3 ; Native |:i,47\s 1 > ( hinese 103,4;55 Foreign li,tj7ti,l'l > .lapanc.se 1 ! s r | Indians (5^,307 . j Total ">0,155,783 , Our population in ISSft was more i than double that in lSf>o, or :">0,155,78:] against 23,191,870. The tendency ot ' population to center in the cities be _ | comes more marked as the Union ; grows older. The total number of iu ( I h abitantsin the cities has about quad rupled since 18."»0—11,.'118,047, against , 8,297,580. The total male population of voting age in the States aud Territories was 12,830,349, made up of 5,270,518 na ! tive, 3,072, ls7 foreign born, and 1,487,- i 34 4 colored, among whom, besides Af ricans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians are j iueludcd. The statistics of the aires of the pop ulation are very interesting, and will probably surprise most readers. They l are not aware, we imagine, that the f largest number of inhabitants of the United States of a single age were . those most important members of the family who had not yet completed their t first year. Of these there were 1,447,- 983, while of men who had just reach ed 21 the total was only 998,904.

The total number of people pursu ing gainful occupations was 17,392,- i 099, being 34.08 per cent, of the en ] tire population, and 47.31 per cent, of ; the population of 10 years of age and . upward.

Of those 2,550,927 are males and 2,980,200 females between the ; ages of 10 and 15, the total of which substantially equals the number of children attending school, who do not, through any considerable portion of the year, pursue any gainful occupation. Invalid children, vagrants, and inmates of charitable and correc tional institutions must also be cipher ed out. Of males between 10 and 59 only 921,333 are unaccounted for. Those are students, the infirm in body and mind, and the criminals and pau pers. "The number of men of this period of life, not disabled, who are not returned as of some occupation by reason of inherited weal.h or having retired from business, is I ardly im portant enough in this count-y," says the report, "to be mentioned." It will be seen, therefore, that a very small proportion only of the population " can be set down among the class who are idle, though able to work.

Still it was an experiment of great interest and importance to the population of ICalakaua's little ' kingdom, where leprosy has long made ' frightful ravages. It is a potentious ' evil there, and is made the subject of ' stringent legislation anil constant po j ljee supervision. Leprosy is one of I her most potent causes of the decay of the native population, which is rapidly 1 dying out, and, as shown by the case : of the Philadelphia patient, whose pa rents emigrated from New Hampshire, the disease attacks the children of for eign residents as w< 11 as those of na ' tives Had the consultation of the able physicians who assembled to discuss this case resulted in the discovery of any useful method of treat nent, it would have been hailed in the Sand i wicli Islands as a great piece of good 5 fortune. i .—Ranavalo-Manjaka, Oueen of Mad -5 has concluded with the United 1 , States a commercial treaty which may ' lead to important results.

" I That the OU"CII should select this J moment to conclude a treaty with the | nation which has already obtained the i greater share of her foreign trade will 1 j be regarded by France as an attempt ' to gain an ally in the war which is I- j threatened.

His marriage caused a commotion in the society world, and he condescend ingly distributed bread and beer on that occasion to his townsman, as if his nuptials had been those of a prince. Now. on his honeymoon tour in Eu rope, lie receives attention such as might not fall the lot of a great jurist or divine. The youngster in Punch who, on being asked whether he would prefer the Church or the bar for his profession, thought he would choose the circus, was perhaps a long-headed little fellow, after all. —The passage by the House of the bill designed to check the introduction of adulterated and exhausted teas was probably followed by its passage in the Senate and its approval by the Pres ident. This may be good news to gome who take pleasure in the stimu lent. It would seem, however, that in Connecticut, at least, tea is some times intoxicating. "I have seen women us drunk on tea," writes one of their sex to the Woodbury Reporter, "as any man I ever saw on cider—so drunk that they have accused their husbands of being tipsy, when they have been teetotalers for three months." Of course the poet Cow per's tribute to "the bubbling and loud hissing urn" that "throws up a steamy column, and the cups that cheer but not inebriate, "would lose its savor to this Connecticut writer. She beseeches her sisters not to "taste, touch, or handle the heathen poisonand to placate them she consents to cull tea tipsiness only nervousness. They would be "just as well off," she says, "with a little corn eoll'eo or red pepper tea," or milk or water. Meanwhile, those who still cling to a preference for tea, as a potation, over wooden nut megs steeped in water, will be ghul to see the steps taken by Congress to prevent the country from being filled with doctored trash, imitating whole some tea. liiHiirunce.

In a Solid Gold Watch, aside from the necessary thickness for engraving ami polishing, a large proportion of metal in needed only to stiflcn and hold the engrav ed portions in plaee, and supply strength. The surplus gold is actually needless. In James Host' Patent Gold liofcA Onses thin waste is saved, and holidity and STRENGTH increased l>y a simple process, at one-half the cost. A plate of t-'OUD oor.D is soldered on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition metal, and the three are then passed between polished sU-el rollers. From this the ruses, hacks, centers, bezels, etc., arc cut and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and engine turning. These cases have been worn perfectly smooth by use without removing the gold. This is the only cane made under this process. Each CUM- is accompanied with a valid guarantee signed h\j the manvfaeturers warranting it to wear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cosea now carried in the I'nited States and Canada.
