TT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder

the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater

Eipertmenting- With Corn.
I made a queer and a very interesting
experiment with a crowing cornstalk,
aid Harvey Samuels as he settled in one
of the great rockers in the LindelL "1
had always heard a great deal about the
effect or Hvjoctinjr medicines and food
into human beings, the method being pro
nounced preferable and more beneficial
in eases of extreme illness than that of
feeding through the regular channels.
My work with this corn plant was decid
edly interesting. I secured a small glass
syringe with a very fine point to it After
the corn was two weeks ol d and only a few
inches tall I began to inject the unfer
tnented jniceof crushed apples. My first
injection was not quite a drop. Three
days later I repeated thedose, increasing
it slightly In a little while the injection
was a daily occurrence and the dose in
creased proportionately. The cornstalk
waxed fat and tall AH along it gave
proniiHe of great size and large fruit
"It height in July was fully 10 inches
above the tallest stalk lu the field. Its
earn weie.tnni-h larger, while the silken
taaxel nun much smaller and lacked the
depth of color characteristic of the other
plants i took an ear home to ttuin
and feat. I can tell yon that the quality
of that corn for eating purposes waa ex
cellent It smacked a little of apple,
jnst the slightest suggestion of it, and
not at all disagreeable as one might sup
pose. The grains were- large and juicy
In fact the quality of the corn was far
superior to anything I had ever eaten in
that line. 1 am going to repeat the ex

President Garfield a few months before
his. death related to a friend the follow
ing incidents:
Aa General Garfield entered the con
vention the day of his nomination, a
man distributing leaves of the New Tes
tament handed one to him which the
engrossed politician folded and put in
his pocket Long after the nomination
he took down the suit he had worn that
eventful day. and before putting it on
proceeded to empty the. pockets. He
drew out a paper pressed into a narrow
fold, one verse only being visible. It
was this, "The stone which tbe builders
rejected is become the head of the cor
ner." Again, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon,
the hour of the nomination in Chicago,
an eagle, coming from no one knows
where, lighted on General Garfield's
house in Washington and sat there sev
eral minutes. This occurrence was wit
nessed by many persons in the capital.

A few weeks after the midnight sun
has passed tbe hours of sunshine shorten
rapidly, and by the middle of August
the air becomes chilly and the nights
colder, although during the day the sun
is warns. Then the grass turns yellow.
the leaves change their color, wither and
fall; the swallows and other migrating
birds fly toward the south; twilight

A Kataraliat and the Snake Charmer.
A story used to be told at Cairo of the
late Sir Richard Owen during one of his
sojourns in Egypt. The great naturalist
was seated in the shade on the veranda
at Sheppeards hotel, aa is the postpran
dial wont of visitors to that famous hos
telry, when the inevitable snake charmer
came to him and produced from his bag
a lively specimen or the horned asp the
deadly cerastes. The professor gazed,
and nothing . daunted stopped and
plucked the homs from the head of the
reptjle wriggling at his feet, remarking
to a'bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
off upon any one else a harmless snake
aa a cerastes by the aid of a couple of
fish bones. With anybody else the
charmer wonld probably have succeeded.
He had tried it on the wrong man.

On the second day after our arrival In
Krasnoyarsk we narrowly excaped gutting
Into what might have been serious trouble
as the result of au unexpected perquisition
In the hmie f tlm atinlutancs with
whom Shamarln and Peterson were stay
ing. Thia acquaintance. It seemed, waa
under suspicion, mid late In the evening.
during the absence of the two young men
from their quarters, the police suddenly
appeared with orders to make a house
search. The search wits duly made, but
nothing of a suspicious nature was found
except the two locked trtiuks of Shamarlu
and Peterson.
In reply to a question as to what was In
them the proprietor of the house said that
he did not know, that they were the prop
erty of two of his Reqttitlntiinces who had
topped for a few days with him on their
way from Irkutsk to St. lVtersburx. Upon
being asked where these acquaintances
were, lie replied that he did lint know; that
they usually went out after illuner and re
turned between II and 12 o'clock. After a
brief consultation the police olllcera de
cided that as they had no orders to search
tbo personal baggage of the houseowner
guests they would not force the locks of
the trunks, but would merely cord and
seal them, so that the contents could not
be tampered with, aud leave them uutil
morning.
lien bhamnrln and Peterson returned
to their quarters about midnight they
found their trunks corded and sealed so
that they cort Id uot be opened. In one of
them were many letters from political ex
iles and convicts in eastern Siberia and
friends aud relatives lu Kuropeiin Russia
letters describing my Investigations and
the nature of the material that 1 waa col

tives In Kuropean Kussla to co-operate with

ical convicts.
hat was to be done? To break a police
seal under such circumstances would be a
peual offense, and would prolwbly lead to
imprisonment aud an investigation. To
leave the letters aud photograph in the
trutik would bo to insure their discovery
and confiscation ou the following moruiug,
aud that might create a very embarrassing
situation tor me, as well as for the authors
of the letters and their friends. The two
young men finally concluded to make an
attempt to get the trunk open without re
moving the cords or breaking the seals, and
as the letters aud photograph were near
the bottom, and as the lid could not be
raised even if the trunk were unlocked.
they decided to take out a part of the hot,
torn and afterward replace it.
By working all the rest of the night
they succeeded in getting oat one of the
bottom boards, obtained the dangerous
letters and the photograph, but the board
back without disturbing any of the seals,
and when the police came iu the morning
stood by with unruffled serenity and saw
tbe trunks searched. Of course nothing
more dangerous thau a hairbrush and
nothing mora Incriminating than a hotel
bill could ba found. George Kennao In

The Coyote and the Crows.
Once on a tlmo many crowa llvod In the
edge of some woods. A little out Into th
plain stood a very large tree, with much
snd under IU Duo day a coyote was plow
ing and heard the crows sinning ami (lanc
ing iitnti r this tree, and came up to wateh
tlicm. They were dancing l a circle, and
each crow hnd upon hla Utek a large bag.
"Crow friends, what are you doing?"
asked t he coyote, who was much Interested.
"Oh, we are dancing with onr mothers,"
said tliu crows.
"How prenyl And will yon lot me dance
tool"' asked the coyote of the too whlt-lah
rlildeh crow ion plain of the dance).
"Oh, yea," replied the orow, "(Jo and
put your mother In a bug and come to the
dance,"
The coyote went running home. There
his old mother was sitting In the corner of
the llrepliice. The stupid coyote picked up
a slick and struck her on the head aud put
her In a bag, aud hurried back to the dance
with her.
The crows were dancing merrily and
singing;
"A! nana, queeerah, quo-ee-rah."
(Alas, Mama! you arv slinking, you are
slinking!) The royole Joined the dance,
with the bag on his back, and sang as the
crows did-
"At nana, que-eo-rnh, que-ce-rab..M AI
nana Is an exclamation always used by
mourners. I
Hut at last the crows burst out laughing,
and said, "What do you bring In your
bagV
"My mm her, as you told me." replied the
coyote, showing them.
Then the crows emptied their bags,whlch
were tilled with nothing hut saud, aud flew
up Into the tree, laughing.
The coyote then saw that they had played
him a trick, ami started home, crying "Al
nanal" When hu got home he took his
mother from the bug and tried to set her
up in the chimney corner, always crying,
"Ai mini, why don't you sit up as beforef"
Hut she could not, 'or she waa dead. When
he found that she could not sit tip any
more he vowed to follow the crows aud
eat them all the rest of hla life, and from
that day to this be has been hunting them,

Strangers Cold at St. Hilda.
One of the most curious facts iriven by
Dr. Parsousin his report on inllueur-a re
lates to what ia called "strautfpra' cold,"
an epidemic from which the little com
munity livinK at St. Kilda, in the broad
waters of tbe north Atlantic, suffers every
time a vessel from any other part of the
world arrives. Indeed, so surely doea this
outbreak follow the arrival of a boat that
it Is called by the islanders "boat cotih."
In other oceanic islunds the same odd ef
fects have been observed.
In an island 4S0 miles east of New Zea
land a similar epidemic attacks both Euro
peans and Maoris on the arrival of a ship.
So regular is the occurrence that when
mnrn-miirri, as the cold is called, appears.
the good folk are so snre that a ship Is In
the port that they ride straight off to the
harbor "to fetch their letters." Stran
gers' cold and influenza are remarknbly
alike in their symptoms.
1 be cause of the former is attributed to
tbe organisms of disease that people in
populous lands carry about with them.
and to which they themselves are inured.

Seasoning Timber.
Oak timber loses about one-fifth of its
weight in seasoning and about one-tbird

drying and seasoning are considered tbe
most favorable to the durability and
strength of timber. Kiln drying is par
ticularly serviceable for boards and pieces
of small dimensions, and unless performed
slowly is apt to cause cracks and impair
tbe strength of the wood. Jf timber of
large dimensions be immersed in water for
