To Make
Hot Bread Wholesome.
With most persons it is necessary that bread raised
with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale
before it can be eaten with safety. Distressing
results also follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry,
etc., raised by the cheap, inferior baking powders that
contain lime, alum, phosphates, or other adulterants.
The hot roll and muffin, and the delicious hot griddle
cakes, raised by Royal Baking Powder, can be eaten
without inconvenience by persons with the most deli
cate digestive organs, and are as wholesome and
digestible as warm soup, meat or any other food.
No leavening agent or baking powder, except the
Royal Baking Powder, possesses this great qualification.

The mighty warriors every nation boasts.

How Islam's valor was beloved and feared;
And when he finished, listening thousands

Forgotten was the pride of earthly kings.
He sang to them of home and truth and love;
How Allah watched his children from above.

And when be finished, all the people wept.

Fifty Kinds or Electrle Fishes.
According to the statements of the
English naturalist. Professor Stirling,
there are in existence today upward of
fifty species of fishes having more or less
specialized organs, the function of which
is the generation of electric discharges.
The fishes differ widely, sometimes
strikingly, from each other, belonging
mostly to different families, and oc
casionally even to different orders of the
"Pisces." In structure they closely re
semble the other species of the genera
to which they severally belong, differ
ing from them, with an occasional ex
ception, mainly in the possession of or
gans for electric generation.
The well known "electric rays," for
example, of which Nicholson mentions
three and Orunther six, are tne most
prominent These rays are found in the
Atlantic and Indian oceans and the
Mediterranean sea, and are seen in the
English channel, or even farther north;
while other electric fishes axe still more
cosmopolitan, though most of them in
habit limited areas and warm waters.

Bow a Japanese Cadet Settled with an
- Unprincipled Klval.
In the Naval aeadowy at Annapolis is
the son of wealthy and honored Japan
ese, who is taking a course of training
preparatory to entering the mikado's
navy. This cadet has an cnoniy, another
Jan. who is living in Washington. It is
said that iu a three cornered flirtation
between those youths and a beautiful
maiden who resides in Tokio the naval
cadet came out victorious. Unable to
control himself, the vanquished rival at
lust took refuge in thut meanest of war
fare, the felling of titles. IIo wrote to
his friends in Japan that the cadet was u
bad man, describing his faults, and made
the uoor fellow apiear a heartless ogre.
These tales finally reached the ears of
the girl, who said she duln t believe them.
Theu she sat down and wrote her cadet
lover all she had heard, In due time her
tear stained missive reached Annapolis,
and since then a month ago the ma
ligned Jap has en ten beef by the pound
and given himself up to swinging Indian
clubs, sparring and practicing the broad
sword exercises.
A week since be found himself devoid
of an ounce of superflous flesh and
thirsting for gore. During all this time
he had been careful to continue friendly
with his rival, and a few nights ago in
vited the latter up to his room. When
they got there the cadet locked the door,
tied the key to his belt, closed the win-
dows.clearcd the room of bric-a-brac, and
piled chairs, tables, etc., on his bed.
Then he stripped, telling the other to do
the same and prepare to receive the most
awful thrashing on record since David
slew Goliah.
A minute later the cadet seized his rival
by the throat and slammed him against
the wall. When the Blanderer crawled
to his feet he was promptly knocked
through the gloss doors of a bookcase.
Ten seconds later he was whirling about
that room like a crazy cyclone. hen
the cadet was tired he washed himself,
put on his clothing, and told the other
that be would be back in nve minutes
with witnesses to hear an apology. Then
he went out, locking the door after him.
.But while he was absent the tale bearer
tore down the curtains, made a life line
of them, and swung out of the window,
dropping to the ground. He did not
dare go to Washington alone for fear he
should meet the cadet, so he paid a po
liceman to accompany win thither. On
the way they did meet the cadet and his
friends, and an apology was voluntarily
forthcoming. Last Saturday night a
number of American cadets went in a
body to their Japanese colleague, con
gratulating him and approving his ac
tion. They sent their respectful compli
ments to the happy maiden in Tokio, but
added a request that she persuade her
lover to remain in the United States
navy. New York Sun.
Costumes Not Gaudy Three Centuries Ago.
It is a mistake to imagine that the
streets of London in the Sixteenth
century presented a much more lively
appearance than they do at present.
The everyday dress of the people.

invariably made of broadcloth of a
sober color, occasionally enlivened
with velvet and smart ribbons. It
was only on state occasions or fes
tivities, parties, balls end public en
tertainments that the Ray Bilks ana
velvets and the cloth of gold were
exhibited, and it must be remem
bered that so costly were the mate
rials which could then be employed
in male or female dress that not un-

lbs Good Hen De -Ives After Them and
Is Detailed to the tteporters.
As disagreeable a duly probably as
any that ever fulls to the lot of a re
porter is tht getting of facts for the
obituary notices of persons who are uot
especially prominent. Newspaper men
always shrink from the work and ars
loath to enter a house of mourning.
The exigencies of the profession demand
it, however, and strange as it may seem,
sometimes the men actually have com
ical experiences.
This is best illustrated by the narra
tion of a recent occurrence in New
York. A death notice had been re
ceived late in the evening, and to the
trained eye of the night city editor bore
all the earmarks of a "good obituary,''
These are indicated by the penmanship
of the notice, the location of the home
of the deceased, the namo, the wording
and numerous other minor details, such
as one unfamiliar with newspaper work
would scarcely notice.
The reporter assigned to the task pro
ceeded to the residence given with a fool
ing akin to a desire to exchange places
with the corpse. In response to the ring
of the bell an airish young woman, pre
sumably the widow of an elderly man,
opened the door of the house, which was
in a good neighborhood. Tho reporter
introduced himself and the subject as
delicately as possible.
"Oh, I n delight ed to see yon, replied
the woman effusively, in answer to the
deprecating words of tho man. "I've
always wanted to see a reporter," she
added, looking curiously at the specimen
before her, as though astonished at see
ing a respectably appearing individual.
Then followed the ordinary questions
by which the reporter found out when
and whore the man was born, where he
was educated, the list of clubs and fra
ternal lodges of which be was a mem
ber, whether he bad fought in the war,
and a dozen other things.
"It does seem so strunge," remarked
the woman. "Here 1 am telling you all
these things, and he will never read
your article. Ho would have been so
pleased. You know, ho was a litorary
man himself." .
"Indeed?" said the reporter, brighten
ing up at the prospect of swelling his
stickful of matter to at least a quarter
column. "1 had forgotten to ask the
occupation. Will you kindly furnish
me with a list of his works?"
"Oh, he didn't write books!"
"Magazine articles?" queried the re
porter, with wavering hopes.
"No," said the woman.
"Newspaper man perhaps?" asked the
reporter sadly, for his imaginary quar
ter column had again shrunk to an ac
tual stickful
"He did not write at all," remarked
the woman, at last brought to bay,
"What!" said the reporter, his curios
ity at last thoroughly aroused, "not
even for trade papers, advertising liter
ature, theatrical posters, programmes."
"No. His father was an editor,
though," exclaimed the woniun. with a
pleased smile, "and he worked for a
publisher. He had the agency for Long
Island of the 'Cyclopedia of Useful In
formation.' Of course you need say
nothing about that. Just write it down
that he lived a simple. Christian life and
was engaged in literary pursuits."

And Tet He Cave Him 81s Months.
A fine, stalwart man, with a frank,
open expression, was arraigned for steal
ing a pair of shoes from a dealer. "Did
yon steal the shoes?" asked the judge.
"He canght me, judge, with the shoes
and the box in my hand. I'll tell you
how it was," began the complainant,
but he was cut short and reminded that
the prisoner had pleaded guilty. "How
did you come to steal the shoes? You
look like a hard working man," re
marked the court. "Well, 1 stole them,
judge, and he caught me," was the re
ply. He was committed for six months.
The jndge remarked later: "1 was rather
taken with that man. He came up to
the bar like a Marc Antony, not with
the sleek expression, 'Your honor,' or a
whine of any kind. Hod he given me
any good excuse 1 would have been very
lenient with him, for. if 1 am not very
much mistaken in my judgment he is no
thief, but an nnfortnnate fellow who
was pinched by poverty." Brooklyn

Carlyle's View of Aprons,
Carlyle in his "Sartor Resartus" was

"Aprons are Defenses; against injury to

notched silk (an it were, the emblem and
beatified' Ohost of an Apron), which
some highest bred housewife has grace

hide girt around him with thongs,
wherein the builder builds and at even
