Baking Powder
The United States Agricultural Department
has issued (and circulates free) a valuable report
giving the results of elaborate experiments made
by and under the direction of the Department,
which show the great saving from baking at home,
as compared with cost of buying at the bakers.
All bread, cake, biscuit, crullers, etc., are very much
fresher, cleaner, cheaper and more wholesome when
made at home with Royal Baking Powder.

OfooveH Cnt on the Shaft.
.tn making the Indian arrow three
1 mall undulating grooves are cut on the
i.iiaft, running down to the head from
iue lower end of the feathers. This has
attracted the attention of some of the
ethnologists, who pave the matter cou
eidchible study and , wisely concluded
that the little lines wore made for the
blood to rim through or that they rep
resented lightning. An old Omaha who
had the reputation of being very skill
ful In cutting the grooves in arrow
shafts was called by the chief to do
that work for him ou some arrows he
was making. The chief himself was a
fine arrow maker, but he recognized
the skill of the old man In this particu
lar iliuc. "While the work was In prog
ress the- chief's son, who bad readied
tho inquisitive ago and was looking on
with wide eyed Interest, suddenly ask
ed, "Venerable man, why are you mak
ing those crooked lines?' Tbe chief
gave n hearty laugh and said. "Father,
tell htm, fo: he will be making arrows
himself someday, and he should know."
'Every sapling," answered the old man,
"out of which the arrow is made has
some defect, however faultless It may
appear to be. The good arrow maker
takes a great deal of pains to smooth
out and straighten the imperfections by
oiling nnd heating, but tho wood In
time will spring back because of Its In
herent defects unless these grooves are
cut In the shaft soon after seasoning
nnd straightening." Southern Work

OLD TIME TRAVELING.
ffke Stnureconch Iu Enuliincl In Hi
Seventeenth Century,
The first stagecoach between the two
capitals, London and Edinburgh, ap
pears to have been started iu 1'iM. It
ran once n fortnight, and the fare wiu
4. The time taken to the journey Is
not accurately kuuwn, but between
York and London It was fom' days.
This lavish system of commuulcachm
was not, however, kept up. as lu 17-13
the coach ran between Loudon and
Edinburgh once a month only, taking
a fortnight. If the weather was favor
able, to tbo journey.
Iu the day ; of stagecoaches people
sometimes clubbed together and hlreJ
a postcbalse for their journey as being
quicker and less expensive, and Scot
tish newspapers occasionally contain
ed advertisements to tbe effect that a
person about to proceed to London
would bo glad to bear of a fellow "ad
venturer" or two bent on the same
Journey to share the expense.
Iu 17u4 a heroic effort was made to
Improve the London und Edinburgh
coach. Tlie Edinburgh Cournnt for
that year contained the following ad
vertisement: "Tbe E'.-'nbu' :-b stage
coach, for tlio better accommodation of
passengers, will be altered to a gsnteel

IRELAND'S RUINED CASTLES.
Tho Green Isle In Rich In These
Anetcnt Landmarks.
Ireland Is rich In castles nnd ruins.
Oue of the most undent of these Is the
Griunnn of A 11 each, a ruin tbat stands
on the heights above the Swilly and
which was ceuturles ago the stronghold
of the northern princes.
Around this fort many battles were
fought. Hosts swarmed over the ad
jacent bills or fled down the river, and
in those deadly engagements scenes
were enacted that often cast a gloom
over tbe whole country and 'wrecked
tbe social life of Erin.
As England gained power sho strove
again and again to exert her Influence
over tho sister isle, but warriors like
Strongbow spurned a "foreign" su
premacy and when the battle wont
against them found n safo .retreat In
the bogs, the valleys und the hills of
that lonely country, only to sally forth
to avenge themselves anew upon their
enemies.
Tho rock of Casbcl, Dunluce castle
and many other spots were tbe centers
of those fearful combats.
Tho picturesque ruins of Sllgo abbey,
built by Maurice Fitzgerald In A. D.
1253, and tbe moro Imposing propor
tions of Donegal castle are silent wit
nesses of a progress that proceeded
steadily lu spite of these disturbances.

Vital I lent of Vegetables.
It will be a novel thought to many
that not only animals, but vegetables
also, generate a degree of beat by
their life processes. It has been ob
served that the sap of healthy trees Is
not affected, as other liquids are. by
frost; that the inner parts of fibrous
plants are warmer than tlie air on cold
days, nnd that snow melts more rapid
ly at the foot of living trees than
around dead ones. Some vegetables
of their own accord grow warmer un
til midday and then cool off again ns
tho sun declines. The act of flowering
has also been found to give rise to an
increase of temperature. Tbe stalk of
an Italian arum may have a daily In
crease of no loss than 10 degrees,
and the stalk of another plant has been,
known to bo ns warm ns 100 degrees F,
Some Drlcf Epitaphs.
The following nro among the brief
and curious epitaphs seen iu European
cemeteries: At Worcester, Eu gland,
the slab erected over a deivrted auc
tioneer is inscribed with a single word,
"Gone." In Sussex the Initials and date
of tho death of the deceased are fol
lowed by two words, "Ho was." On
the monument of Charles the Great
of Germany tlie brief Inscription Is
"Caralo Magna" The most remarka
ble is nt Cane Hill cemetery, Belfast,
whore the inscription says, "Left til!
called for."
Welsh Wedding Custom.
In the following quaintly formal let
ter the parents of Welsh brides some
times bid their friends attend the wed
ding nnd bid them also not to come
empty handed: "Whatever donation
you may be pleased to bestow will bo
thankfully received nud cheerfully re
paid whenever called for on a similar
occasion. Tho parents of the bride nud
bridegroom elect deslro thnt all gifts
due to them will be returned to them
on tho above date and will be thank

TRICK WITH DOMINOES.
t Feat That Will Puinle Tko.c Not
In tlio Secret.
An Interesting feat enn be performed
(pith the dominoes, which the operator
tmioimcos ns follows: "I will Iny the
ilomlnoes in a line, one beside another,
lying ou their faces nud making one
Mack Hue. Now I will go Into the next
room, with my eyes ns closely covered
ns you may desire. Iu my absence you
limy take from tlie Hue any number of
dominoes you please provided you take
tliem from that end which Is now at
my right hand aud place them at the
opposite cud, so that, except for the
change In the places of tlie piece, the
line Is Just tho same as before. Ou my
return, without unbandnglng my eyes,
I will tell you tho nuuilwr transported
from oue end to the other. I will do
more. From tho midst of these domi
noes, of which you have changed the
position, I will draw ono which, by the
addition of Its spots, will tell you ex
actly the number which you took from
right to left. After they havo made the
change count with your fingers If your
eyes nre bandaged the dominoes from
left to right as far as the thirteenth.
Tho spots on this thirteenth will inva
riably represent the number of domi
noes whose position has been altered.
But In forming the line originally you
must have arranged tho first thirteen
dominoes, beginning at the loft, so that
tho spots on the first form the number
12, of tlie second 11, of the third 10,
nnd so ou up to a double blank for the
last and thirteenth. You place the oth
er dominoes afterward In the order In
which they happen to present them
selves." THINGS NOT TO EAT.
Among Them, According to a Slert
. leal Sinn, Arc Baked Bean..
Abolish soup from the dinner table,
eschew ten aud coffee, pass the baked
beans with silent contempt, beware the
genuine pancake, be not lured Into
turning traitor to your stomach by
America's common enemy, pie; be tran
quil and cheerful at mealtimes, even If
you are nursing a chronic grouch the
rest of the time, and never, never go to
bed with your stomach filled.
These are scattering fragments of a
thirty-two Inch shell of advice fired be
fore the Chicago Medical society by Dr.
Edwin B. Tuteur, who lectured on
"When to Eat, What to Eat and How
to Eat."
"Soup," declared the doctor, "Is su
perfluous lu a substantial dinner menu.
So Is tea and so Is eoffeo and, In fact,
any moisture except that which Is nat
urally contained In the foods. Soup In
the form of beef broth, without eggs,
cereals or vegetables, would starve a
dog to death In ten days. Beef tea
made from the solid extract sold for
tho use of Invalids Is a mere stimulant,
a non-nutritious, queer tasting temper
ance drink. Tea and coffee are not
foods, but stimulants. They retard di
gestion and often cause gastric catarrh,
nervousness nnd insomnia.
"Beans, the dried and baked variety,
cooked with salt pork, are baneful.
Tenmsters, soldiers nnd Boston Intel
lectuals subsist upon them to some ex
tent. Pass them by." Chicago Record
Herald. The Delclicr Artesian Well.
The Belcher well In St Louis Is one
of the famous artesian wells of the
world. The boring of it was begun lu
the spring of 1S49 by Wllllnm H. Bel
cher, who had a sugar refinery near the
river a few blocks north of where the
Eads bridge uow is. After the expendi
ture of 510.000 tho well was in 1S3-1
driven to a depth of 2.10!) feet, where a
flow of seventy-five gallons n minute
was struck, but the water proved to bo
so Impregnated with mineral matter
thnt It was unlit for use In the sugar
refinery, for which 5Ir. Belcher wanted
it. It is used uow only for meillclm!
purposes and for sanitary baths. St.
