Do You Wish the Finest Bread and Cake ? It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. . The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strong est makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? The San Francisco Board of Health says: "It is im possible to make a purer or a stronger baking powder than the Royal."

Dr. Parr (the celebrated scholar) was once preaching in the country parish of another clergyman, and, as was his habit, used very learned language. The rector afterward said to him: "They could not understand you." "Nonsense," said Dr. Parr; "I am sure there was nothing in my sermon which they could not comprehend." "Well," said the rector, "1 will call one of them in and see if he understands the meaning of the word felicity.' " So he called in a labor ing man, and said: "John, can you tell me what is the meaning of felicity?' " "Well, I don't known, sir," said John, "but I be lieve it is some part of the inside of a pig." Lord Craven once invited Ben Jonson to dine at his house. At the appointed time Ben trudged off in his usual poor clothes, patched all over, and knocked at his lord' ship's door. The astonished porter scratched his head, and before he conducted the stranger in, sent to inform Lord Craven that a shabby clodhopper, who called him self Ben Jonson, desired to see him. His lordship flew to the door to welcome the poet, but started back in surprise when he saw such an odd figure. "You Ben Jon son I" said he. "You Ben Jonson, indeed! Shouldn't care for your clothes, but your face rounds! You couldn't say 'Bo!' to a goose." "Bo!" said Ben. His lordship burst into a hearty laugh, and, satisfied by the joke of the personal identity of his famous guest, conducted him in. The Churchman. Good Shooting.

There is no superstitious belief of the human race which is so widely held as th belief in the existence and malevolent power of the evil eye. It Is everywhere known and finds a place In the folklore of all nations. The apparent cause is always tliesame that power of fascination by the human eye which is now known as hyp notic force, which a primitive age could imagine to be nothing but a demon resid ing In and speaking from the human eye. Po forcible did this thought seem to the tnind of the ancients that the eye and the soul were convertible terms in ancient Biagio. Kven in this day ot advanced human knowledge there are many things connected with the influence of mind upon mind that are not fully understood, hence it is no wonder that they proved the possession of demoniac powers to the mind of him who attributed everything which he could not understand to some supernatural agency. If the thing was not ouly mysterious but bewildering the first thought was to at tribute it to diabolism ot some kind. If the influence went so far as to control the will of another, then it became witchcraft, and the one exercising it was a witch. Kvery where was the belief that the souls of the dead could enter into and animate the living. Their essence was considered as controlling those into whom they en tered, and the sign of their presence was the glittering eye, something like that with which the Ancient Mariner holds "the wedding guest" in Coleridge's "Rime." These glittering eyes, in the great or the small, were counted as sure marks of an indwelling presence. In the great it was divine; in the mean tt was a sure sign of an evil eye, or in other words j a demoniac possession. Iu like manner the glitter in the eyes of the good Indicated the possession of beneficent virtues, while the same glitter iu the eyes of the malevo lent indicated maleficent diabolism. The key to the theory la the possession of that power kuown as fascination, where by a mere look makes one mau ready to do the will of another instead of his own. This power in the eye in all folklore is at tributed to either souls or demons, which are supposed to swarm around us in al most infinite numlier. These souls are everywhere, and a large proportion of them are not ouly supposed to be malevolent, but to be possessed of considerable power lor working 111 to tbose who offend them. The folklore tales are full of stories about the operation of the evil eye and of recipes for defense against its power. A large proportion of these are connected with the use of fire or the color of red, that being in all magic the equivalent of Are. This supposed value arises from the old worship of the sun or from the hatred which all evil things are thought to have of the fire which is to consume tbem in the pit of woe. A red string about the neck or arm is the most ordinary device, but red berries as of the "rowan tree," or mountain ash, are still more bijjhly prized. Among the Scandinavian nations, the Scotch, and particularly with the gypsies, the rowan tree has a standing of its own, apart from its use in connection with the evil eye. That special meaning reaches back to the o!d pagan faith and need not be considered here. In Italy and among the Latin races generally the horseshoe, or Its equivalent, is chiefly relied upon to counteract the Influence of the evil eye. If a horseshoe is not at hand a forked twig. or even the fingers of the band parted, is counted or great value. Cbtcago Times. Men Are Living Beyond Their Mean. I remember opening my eyes to their widest extent when I was told by the late Mr. Lyon, who had charge of the credits of one of our magnificent dry goods palaces, that he had on his books 14,000 different accounts, some settled monthly, some quarterly, some semiannually, some once a year and a select few wben it pleased them. See what an immensity of capital Is required for 14,000 accounts, even if each was in the vicinity of $500 alone. Some of them run into the hundreds and far up into thousands. This can be traced by analogy to tne smaller stores, to the tin ton ers, bakers, confectioners, jewelers, coal dealers, to livery stable keepers, shoe makers, the hatters and the tailors. Men are living far beyond their means because the luxuries of the past they must enjoy day in and day out; expenses which to our fathers would bare seemed phenomenal are to us the ordinary output, Joseph Howard in rew York Recorder, The Utility or the Battle. The utility of the rattle to the rattle snake is a problem still awaiting solution. It has been supposed to be useful as para lyzing its prey through terror excited by the sound thus induced. But this is a very doubtful explanation. It is akin to the notion formerly entertained that serpents bad a power of fascinating other creatures. Others have thought that it seems to ex cite the curiosity of animals, and so brings them within the rattlesnake's reach. It has also been supposed that it serves, as it may do, to enable snakes of different sexes to find each other, and also to guard the animal from attack wben it is helpless from its power of offense having beeq tern porarily exhausted. No sutllcient evidence has, however, been collected to show that any of these ingen ious speculations affords us a real clew to the true cause of such a curious and elabo rate mechanism.

Bow the Snake Shed Its Skin. Does the snake slip out of its old skin or does it turn the old skin wrong side out? I am of the opinion that it is the latter. I have in my possession a tolerably good specimen, and the lips of the skin, as well as the tip end of the tail, show that it was turned wrong side put and not slipped off. ' -"Cor.

New York Commercial Advertiser. The Female Principal. Ask any school teacher in New York who she prefers for a principal, and the answer will be "a muu." every time. Men who make instruction a life work part with much of their masculine force and vigor, but no matter how narrow they may become they never qnite reach the level of a scholastic female tyrant. The lady principal knows so well how to humiliate her subordinates. If her record is satisfactory as an Instructor and disciplinarian there are her weak nesses and vanities to play upon and a thousand ways of insulting her before her pupils. The story of a teacher who began a crusade against liuen collars, crimps, bangs and pretty school toilets is still fresh in the minds of the public, and there are today scores of so called lady principals who treat their assistants as though they were slaves.

What President Conrad Bas to Bay About the Big Lottery. Nkw Oblkavh, August 26. President Panl Conrad of the Louisiana Lottery Company was inte: viewed to-day about the dispatch regarding the company's attempt to purchase a location in the rjandwicn islands. He sa d ; "it is a lake' senfation pure and simo'e. or a malicious concoction, designed perhaps to prejudice the company in the minds of the people of the United States by creating the impression that onr busi ness is to be removed from the le.al re strictions and accountability it is now under by virtne oi the laws of Louisiana. Were the Louisiana Htate Lottery Com- Eany to become a Hawaiian instead of a ouisiana concern, of course it would be practically an impossibility to enforce claims against it; whereas, being a duly cnarterea corporation oi trtia estate, it Is amenable to the laws. Obligations can be enforced through the courts against it the same as mrainst an? lawful and re sponsible company." " But what are the company's plans for the future Miirht not their negoti ations be carried on without your knowl edge?" " bcarcely such vast sums as are talked of are not carried in one's vest pocket nor expended by one member of a con cern without consulting his associates. The owners of the Louisiana Lottery are now scattered over the globe, seeking peace or pleasure, according to theirc n- dition or taste. Mr. Morris, with friends. have been for weeks cruising about on bis yacht, and I doubt if any one has communicated with him on business of any description Certainly he is not giving himself any concern about lot tery business, and I repeat there is sim ply nothing in this alleged San Francisco story except idle gossip so far as know, end I think know all the facts. The Louisiana Lottery Company will live out its allotted time as fixed by its vested rights, say a couple of years longer, do inn its business here as It always has and abiding by the popular decision in the recent contest."

The la terviews with various prominent men which I recently sent you as to the ap narentlv mysterious cause of the un' timely and sudden deaths among them, .has aroused a Brent deal ot excitement. Senators, representative and heads of departments nil declare that unless some steps can lie taken to avoid the killing strains of public life, few prominent men won id care to ru u tor ortiee. Traced to its source, it has become fully appar ent that there is one great cause (or it all, and that cause is the wearing strains upon certain organs of the body which cause their tissues to give way, and hence bring about sickness or sudden death. I continued the investigation, which was reported yesterday, by calling upon a numlier oi leading puouo men. Hon. Daniel Lockwood, genial and wholu-soulud, has an extensive knowl edge o: the public men of the country. lie was wen aware oi tne strains to which they are subjected, and the sudden deaths which have been so prevalent. "It would seem," he said, "as though there should lie some way et preventing these things. Our grandfathers had family remedies that seemed to preserve health and prolong life, and it would appear as though some modern discov ery should De loiind winch would answer the same purpose for the added strains of modern life. I think if anyone has such a discovery it is certainly my friend Warner with Ids famous Safe Cure. I know of a great many people who use it constantly; and I have in mind one gentleman connected with the Govern ment Printing Oltlee here who, together with his wife, has occasion to be exceed ingly BTHteful for the restored health and strength which Warner's Bale Cure has imparted. lion. ll.s. ureeiueat was found in the House of Representatives. He saidi "The exhaustions of public life are cer tainly very great, but so also are the strains of business life, of professional life, of social life. I have personal ac quaintance with Mr. Warner, the dis coverer of the celebrated Safe Cure, and I consider it lar superior to any or all other preparations. Certainly any arti cle as popular as that and selling as ex tensively as it does, must have unusual merit." Probably the most remarkable case of a government oflieial brought to death's door and men rescued is that of Mr. J, Henderson Wilkinson, ft prominent at torney of this city. In conversation with me, ho said : ''Ten years ago 1 was seized with an attack of Wright's disease. I was then at work in the Treasury, here. I know it was Bright s disease for several reasons. In early life I studied medicine some little tune, l knew from my symptoms what my trouble was, but i was aiso in tne nanus oi my pnystcians. How badly I became, you can understand when I say that my hands became bloated and aetually cracked open. Mv limbs and body would alternately swell and collapse. I could ouly creep across the floor. Finally my physician said to me: 'You are at death's door with Uright'a disease. You may live a few weeks, but there is absolutely no hone of your recovery.' Although I was so very sick my lriends did not desert me. Numbers of them called to express their sympathy. Col, Daniel A. Grosvenor, Judge Tarbel, Rev. IJr, Rankin, Col. Robert M. Douglas more than a hun dred prominent men extended to me their sympathy. None supposed for a moment I could ever reeover. Upon the advice of the Rev. Dr. Rankin, now President of the Howard University, I began the use of a preparation of which I had but little know ledge. I began to improve at once. I continued its use, nothing else, and I state to you to-day mat i owe my lire solely to Warner s Bale Cure, which rescued mo from the grave after the doctors had abandoned all hope. I am certain that if men and women generally fully realized the won derful power of this great discovery, and used it faithfully, tliore would he lets sickness, fewer deaths, longer life and more happiness than at present." I was greatly impressed with Mr. Wil kinson's earnestness of manner. Cer tain it is, that his statement is true, and that he is to-day in perfect health. Senator Blackburn not only knows what wearing strains of political life are, but also of the power which the great discovery above mentioned ha shown both in Washington and through, out the land. Indeed, he is a living ex am Die of its efficiency. I mw Senator W. C. Squire, Mr. H. C. Clark of the First Auditor's Cflice, Cap tain j. u. tiau, ana many otners, ami tneir statements amply conurmed all had previously learned. Mr. Abraham I. Ilahn, well known In newspaper and army circles, said : "Per sonally, I have ued Warner's Safe Curi, and consider it the best medicine in the world for the diseases it is recommended to cure. A member of my family Ins i . i i ... . i ttlFU inrvii uurr4i Hivcr oeverai iuyiuians had failed to do any good," Mr. H McNeil, a highly educated man, a graduate of a medical college, said: "I have frequently heard Mrs. Ilulin mention Warner's Safe Cure, and its highly beneficial etfect," Wherever I went I found the testimony the same, it was generally admitted that the strains of public life in Wash' jngton were wearing and shortening to the life, but it was universally conceded that far overcoming these tendencies, fer Strengthening the vitality, toning the health and prolonging the life nothing bad ever been known equal to the great remeiiy 4. imve aimve nesnnneq, Hay Fou Alim1 PR, K.
