T s ft Be on your Guard. If sonic grocers urge another baking powder upon you in place of the Royal," it is because of the greater profit upon it. This of itself is evidence of the supe riority of the ' Royal." To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. To insure the finest cake, the most wholesome food, be sure that no substi tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you. Nothing can be substituted for the Royal Baking Powder and give as good results. 10 J (J) $ I I TO A UDY IN A PICTURE. KliiiiiK In lliHi i.lttura.

She has fitted herself for a por tion of her tank by the preparation of her admirable translations of his pub lished work, but this alone was not suf ficient, it seemed that such A memoir could only have been written by one of Balzac's nearest friends by Mine, de Berny. And even here it seemed as if the generation which has panned since his death was needed in order to allow a due senile of perspective, and of a com parison of the exgierienceg of that period with the preHtfiiriiiif to be found in his work. It was alinoxt ImiieleM then to look for snch a memoir. And it is here before u. In everv respect and for all reasons Miss Wnrmeley is to be con gratulated on her latent work.

A singular instance of long continued silence on the part of n person able in every way to talk is recalled by the death of Mrs. Matilda Erneyat Hatfield, H. J. She had not uttered a word for over eleven yean. Twelve years ago she became mentally unbalanced and was taken to the Morristown State In sane asylum for treatment Shortly afterward, without apparent excuse or reason, she suddenly ceased talking. Related attempts were mnde to surpriso her into speech or conversa tion by announcing interesting news and wonderful intelligence, but no in ducement was found sufficient to lead her to open her lips to speuk a syllable, and during all these years she main tained an unbroken silence. Exchange. A Thing; Worth Knowing. Persons in cramped boarding quarters during their summer outing will find a curtain strung on a rod or wire acrous the hall door a considerable aid to com fort. The curtain, which it will be well to carry with one, though a fow yards of chintz from the country store will pro vide it, should be hung a limit a fool he low the door lintel. The door may be kept open then almost constantly day and night, the curtain insuring privacy and ventilation. In a summer hotel built without transoms such curtains, of solid color cotton flannel, hung at the door of every room in the house, proved efficient substitutes. Her Point of View in New York Times.

The best tools made for nu in tropical countries are subjected to exactly the sumo amount of tempering ns those made for home nse, although they are to lie used un der a greater hear. A heat greater than any which reaches this earth from the sun would be re quired to affect them. No metallic or other mailer is equal ly susceptible to heat as tho sand of which the soil nf the desert of Hcinde, in India, is composed. It has been found heated by the sun to almost 2U0 degrees F. Hut to affect the temper of steel more than double this temperature is required. In the steel used for a lancet the tempern.tnro of the metal must be brought to -1110 degrees, in ra cers and surgical instruments to-toO de grees, in penknives to 470 degrees, in scissors and chiselM to 490 degrees, in axes, planes and liooketknives to S10 degrees, iu table knives and large shears to 5!10 degrees, iu swords and watch bluings to G.iO degrees, in line saws and anger to 5(10 degrees and for hand und pit sawn to UUU ilegrum, or lu three times the greatest heat of the sun felt on this earth. At DUO to 1150 degrees soft steel and iron become much deteriorated in power to resist percussive action and strain, hut their temperature can never he raised to such a degree as this by the heat of the sun.

There were lots uv chaps there who'd jest as soon die In their boots as eat, 'ii every other house was a dance house or a salisin or gambling hell.

"After the drink was finished the parson sez: 'dents, us yer see, I'm a minister of the Oospel; hut 1 see no harm in a man drinking ez long ez he ain't no drunkard. 1 drank just now because I want you to see that I am not ashamed to do before yer face what I d do ls-hiud yer back.' 'Kight yer are, parson,' says I'ete; 'put it thar;' 'n they shook hands, 'n then Pete ho up anil called off tho hull gang Five Ace 'n Lucky Barnes 'n Dirty Smith 'u one Y all the rest uv 'em.

That night wo all went along down to Shifty's 'n found the pun-on 'n the kid on tho platform where the fiddlers list to sit 'n every man iu camp wuz in the au dience. The parson spoke first.

Pete told Five Ace ho wuz a old fool 'n didn't know what ho wuz talkiu alsiitt. "wen, tilings run uiong for about a week, 'n one day Peto come to ine and sez: 'Look here, Ralters, this yer camp ain't no jay camp, 'n we've got to hev a church fer the parson.

Now I'm goin to rustle 'round 'n dig up dust ennlt I mm the boys, and we'll jest build him a meetin house as'll be a credit to the camp;' 'n iu a few days tho lioys bed a good log meetin house built Moored 'n benches in it 'n everythin. lhe parson was tickled most to death. Next they built him a house, 'u lie 'n his pardner moved into it. Then Pete said the gals must go; sed it wuz n dead, rank, snide game to work on the parson ter hev to go down street 'n be guyed by them hussies ("n they did gny him uwtul sometimes, loo); so the gals they went. Then Pete sed the church bed to be properly organized; bed to hev deacons 'n chinch wardens 'u sex tons 'n things; so old Bill .tones u Alu bum wuz made deacons, 'n pete 'n Five Ace was church wardens.

The kid started out with a gunnysack, n went thronirh the very last man in the crowd. He took everything, even to tho rings on. our fingers. The parson lied the drop, n we knew it 'n never kicked, but jest giv' up our stuff like lambs. After the kid bed finished, he took the sack outside, 'n that's the last we ever seed o' him.
