Royal is placed first of the cream of tartar
powders, actual strength, 160.6 cubic inches of
leavening! gas per ounce of powder.
Every other powder tested exhibited a much
lower strength than the Royal, the average
being 33 per cent. less. ,
Every other powder likewise showed the
presence of alum or sulphuric acid.
The claim that this report shows any other powder of su

A tlrlgaad'a Courtship.
It is said that the captain of a rob
ber band who desires a wife does his
courting after this style: Casting his
eye on some fair village maiden, he
descends upon the occasion of a dance
04 the green, and mingling with the
dancers manages to dunce with Un
fair one himself. Then be charms
her with his grace aud the beauty of
, his dancing, whisper love messages
in nor ternned ears for well she
knows with whom she i dancing
and circling ever nearer and nearer
to the outer edge of the company he
suddenly gives a whistle, and his men
appear in a moment and dash off
with the prize, the leader covering
their retreat by a fusillade of fire
arms which the villagers dare not
return, being too much cowed by the
bandit's daring. " '
Honorable marriage by a captured
priest who is held in readiness is of
fered to the girl, who dare not refuse
to become the brigand's bride, know
ing she can never return to her home
below the mountains. It is said that
these marriages are exceptionally
happy, and that the men love their
abducted prizes with constant af
fection, and that the villages from
which they are stolen are forever
after safe from fire and rapine at the

"Dickens was a crank of a very offen

properly be excused in a mau of genius,
but bonndlras egotism and bad taste are
not of the number. When the author of
the 'Pickwick Papers' visited America

offended by his boorishness.
"That morning Dickens was in great
good humor and full of talk. 'I have,'
said he, 'found an almost exact counter
part of Little Nell.' 'Little Nell who?
queried the Tennesseean. Dickens looked
him over from head to foot and from
foot to bead before he snorted out, 'My
Little Nell.' 'Oh,' said theTennesseean,
'I didnt know you had your daughter
with you.' '1 am speaking of the Little
Nell of my fiction, sir," retorted Dick
ens flushing. 'Oh,' said the imperturb

A Cat Hypnotises a Bird.
I have soon one case of a snake
charming a bird, but I bad a better
opportunity to study a cat charming
a bird, and probably tbe procoss to
much alike in both. The cat placed
itself ou the outside sill of my win
dow, near to a pine tree. A bird
presently lit on the pine tree, no
doubt not observing the cat The
cat fixed its attention on the bird.
The cat's eyes were widely opened
and shone with a peculiar bright
ness; its head was raised and intent;
the fur on its neck and about its face
6lowly stood up, as if electrified.
Except for this rising of the fur
and a certain intensity of life in the
whole utbtudo of the beast, it was as
still as if cut from stone. The bird
quivered, trembled, looked fixedly at
the cat, and finally, with a feeble
shake of the wings, fell toward the
cat, which boundod to seize it. A
lady tells me that she "does not be
lieve that cats can charm birds, be
cause she has seen a cat trying to
charm a parrot, and the bird, greatly
alarmed, scolded loudly.'' This proves
nothing; the parrot in general, or
more probably that particular par
rot, did not prove a good subject for
the mesmeric power. I have seen
people who cannot be hypnotized.
They resent the effort and nervous
action becomes intensified. Science.

The first chief cause of bashfulnest
consists in a man's attention being di
rected to himself. The man who' is
quite at ease in bis office bashfulness
is most often an attribute of the male
sex becomes self conscious in the draw
ing room and very shy. Although ca
pable of joining in the conversation, his
witty remark is forestalled because he
Is too slow in giving utterance to it or
too timid to bear bis own voice. Tbe
ordinary action of his brain is inhibited
by his self consciousness. Tbe second
cause is emotion. Tbe extreme bash
fulness of many men when they are in
love is proverbial, and the surprisingly
few married men who suffer from bash
fulness is noteworthy.
These causes are, however, usually in
sufficient to product bashfulness, bnt
there must be some further necessary
condition.. Many conditions predispose
to it e. g., a highly nervous tempera
ment, deficient moral courage, with
which is associated lack of self assertion.
These may be regarded as constitutional
causes. .".
Another predisposing cause is defect
ive education. The general education
may have been neglected, or the want
of opportunities of acquiring self confi
dence in society may have been experi
enced. Cassell's. - -
