If some grocers urge another baking
powder upon you in place of the " Royal,"
it is because of the greater profit upon it.
This of itself is evidence of the supe
riority of the " Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost
powder, and to cost less it must be made
with cheaper and inferior materials, and
thus, though selling for the same, give
less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most
wholesome food, be sure that no substi
tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted
by you.

A Cat That Put Out a Fir.

On a cold winter day Mr. and Mrs.

their return home rushed out and
buried his paws in the cold snow.
Wanting to find out the meaning
of this behavior on Tom s part, they
examined his paws and found them
blistered and burned. They walked
Into the house and found to their
surprise that the carpet around the
grate was burned, but the tire had
been extinguished. They now took
in the situation. A coal had fallen
out of the grate aud set the carpet
ablaze, which had been extinguished
by Tom, who had burned his paws in
the effort he made. Cor. New York

Something About Canary Itlrda.
Whenever I buy a ennury it seems
to be a bird that is eHiecially subject
to colds and pneumonia, and it is
only by the exerciso of the greatest
care that 1 can keep it from suc
cumbing to some pulmonary trouble-.
Yet the canary bird sellers have
their wares for sale in the streets in
the coldest weather almost entirely
unprotected from the wind. They
stand around with them for hours
nd no bad result seem to come of it.
How is it)
I give it up. There must be some
nmspiracy between the dealers and
the birds by which the latter die as
soon as they are bought, compelling
the purchasers to invest in more ca
naries. You wouldn't think to look
at the little yellow fellows that they
were capable of so much treachery.
Dealers bring them over from Eu
rope with very few precautious
against disease or accident. If 1
leave one of my canaries alone for 10
minutes at a tiuie, however, he swal
lows a piece of rag and chokes to
death, or the cat gets him. I sup
pose the wholo secret of the thing
consists in knowing what you're
about From results I am led to be
lieve that the iiiiMrter aud the open
air dealer know what they're about
and that I don't, nt Iwwt as fur as
the cauury birds are concernod.

Why a Cemetery la So Called.
Webster says a cemetery is "a
place where the dead bodies of hu
man beings are buried." But that
is all he says, and there is not
8-year-old child in the laud that could
not tell as unirh without referring
fo his "Unabridged." In tracing the
derivation of the word I find thut
the root is in an old Jewish word
"caemeteria," meaning dormitories
or sloepiug places. Later on the
form ot expression was chnnged to
'miuietonum. In that section of
"Camden's Remains" which has the
beading of "Concerning British Epi
taphs," 1 find the following: "Tho
place of burial wus called by St. Paul
'senienatoria,' in the respect of a sure
boeof a resurrection." The Greeks
call it "caeineteriou," which means
"a sleeping place until tho resurrec
tion." The old Hebrew word for
cemetery means "the house for the
living," the idea being that death is
only a protracted sleep that will
terminate on the day that Gabriel
blows bis trumpet St. Louis Re
public.
Tha Manufacture of (lluaa Ryea.
In Thuringia there is a whole dis
trict which is deiwndeut for its sup
port on the manufacture of artificial
eyes, uusiuuuls, wives anu children
all working together at this means of
livelihood. And yet, though these
simple German village people turn
out their produce by the dozen, uo
two eyes are ever the same. Wo ur
tilleial eye has iti exact follow either
in color or in size in the whole world.
The method of the manufacture is
nut u very complicated art They
are firstly glass plates, which are
blown by gas jets, then molded by
hand into the form of an ovel shupeil
cup.
The colorinc of the eyes Is effected
by nieauHof tracing with fine needles,
the tints being left to the taste of the
individual worker, though the scoiie
of their taste is necessarily limited to
grays and nines anu Drowns anu
blucks, which colors are assorted, to
gether before beiug eventually dis
patched to their various destinatii us.

MME. DERLINE.
Prince Agenor was literally beside
himself on Friday, April 10, 1889, at tho
opera during the second act of "Sigurd."
lbe prince hurried from box to box, and
bis enthuslusm kept growing.
That blond! Alii That blondl She's
an ideal, that blondl Look at that blond!
Do you know thut blond?"
At lust be found Palmer, the banker.
"Tbe name, the name of thut blond
In the Siilnte-Mosmcs bjxT
'Mine. Derline."
"Is there a M. Derline?"
"Assuredly a notary my notary
the Suinte-Mosmcs' notary. And if you
you want to see Mine. Derline closer
come to my house to the ball next Thurs
day. Sho will be there."
After the opera, when people were go
ing out, the prince took a position at the
foot of the grand staircase. Ho had en
trapped two of his friends.
'Come, ho said to them, "I wont to
show you the most beautiful woman in
Paris."
Just as ho said that there was stand
ing within two paces of the princo an
alert young man attached to one of tho
morning newspapers, a newspaper widely
read, this young man had a sharp enr.

without losing a single word, the con
versation of the three brilliant noble
men. .
Mine. Derlino arose the next morning
at 8 o clock. Her maid came in, placed
a salver on a little table, lit a big tire in
the open grate and withdrew. There
were on the sulver a cup of chocolate
and a newspaper the same thing every
morning.
Mine. Derline touched the rim of the
enp to her lips and burned herself. So
sho had to wait awhile. Sho put down
the cup, took the paper, unfolded it, and
iupidly, with a look, ran through the
six columns on tho first pago. At the
bottom, nt the very bottom of the sixth
co'uinn, she found these hues:
"Lust night there wus a very brilliant
representation ot 'Sigurd' ut the opera.
Muny of the most distinguished women
of fashion were there the handsome,
Duchesso de Moutuiglon, the pretty
Comtesse Vordiniore do Larduc, the ad-
niirublo Marquiso de Muriel aud the pi
quant Darotiess ue lUyrvou.

"To whom? Wo know, and our read
ers will thunk us for telling them tho
name of this marvelous beauty it is
Mine. Derlino."
Her name! Sho had read her name!
She grew dizzy. Her eyes crossed each
other. All the letters of the alphabet
seemed to dunce liko mad in tho news
paper. After a whilo they grew quieter,
stopped aud got back into their pluces.
Sho managed to liud it again her name
and took up her reading:
"It is Mine. Derlino, the wife of one of
the most esteemed and richest noluiics
of Paris. Tho Prince do Ncrins, whose
word carries authority in these matters,
said last night to every one ho met.
That is tho meet beautiful woman iu
Paris.' Wo ore entirely of that opinion."
She finished readiug, and a sudden
anxiety seized her.
"Edward? What will Edward say?"
Edward was her busbaud. She had
never iu her lifo called any other man
than her husbuud by his first name. He
was loved, this notary, und almost at
tho moment she usked herself what Ed
ward would 6ay Edward hurriedly
opened tlio door.
"Why do these newspaper men med
dle in what doesu't concern them? This
is an outrage! Your name! Look at it
there: j our name in this paper!-'
Mmc. Derline very sweetly and gentrv
set about bringing this rebel to rcasou.
"Why this rage, this great vexation?
They accuse you of being the husband
of the most beautiful woman in Puris.
Is that, then, so horrible, a misfortune so
frightful?"
Reduced to obedience, M. Derlino
went down stairs to his ofiico to make
money for the most beautiful woman in
Paris.
A very wiso and a very timely occu
pation, because scarcely had Mine. Der
lino been left aluiie when a thought
came into her head that would rid lh)
notary's strong box of a very pretty
bundle of bank notes.
It seemed to her that her new position
Imposed new duties upon her. She
could not present herself at the ralmers'
ball without a uew dress aud one from
a celebrated hand. So sho ordered her
carriage in the afternoon and resolutely
gave her coachman the address of M.
Arthur, ono of tho most illustrious
dressmakers iu Paris.
"Oh, inadante, a ball dress a splen
did gown for Thursday," paid that uu
;ust dignitary: "I don't d;ire make such
promise, becaiue 1 could not fulfill it.
Tliero nro responsibilities to which 1
(over expose myself"
Two teurs, two little tears, glistened
on the edge of her lashes. M. Arthur
felt himself moved. A woman, a pretty
woman, weeping there before him.
Never hsd such homage been paid to
his genius.
"Mon Dieu, niadame, I am anxious to
make the effort a very nimple dress"
"Oh, no, not simple; ou the contrary,
very striking brilliant in tln highest
degree Two of my friends me your
customers" (she told him their names)
"and I, I urn Mmc. Derline"
"lime. Derline! You are Mine. Dcr-
liner
H wu im-juicul, absolutely tbcul
ticul. Mine. Derline returned the next day
and tbo next after thut, and overy duy
until tbo ove of tho fuiuoii Thursday,
and every lime alio went back, while
waiting her turn to try on her gown, she
ordered dreswa, very plain, but never
theless coating "00 to WiO frumw.
Nor was that nil. The duy of the first
visit to M. Arthur, when Mine. Derline
walked out of lliu fine place sho was
grieved, absolutely grieved at the slht
of her coupe. It hud been her mother-In-luw's
coupe und had rolled around the
street of Puris fur fifteen years.
Mine, Derline only entered this shuck
ing coupe to be driven to a very illus
trious carriage maker's.
That night, adroitly seizing tho psy
chological moment, she explained to M.
Iwliuo that she hail Seen a certain liltle
hluck cr.iipe, lined wilh deep blue satin,
that would divinely frame her hew
gowns.
Tho cuiixi was bought next day by M.
Derlino, who himself begun to realize
the extent of his new duties. But next
day ho saw it wus impossible to harness
to thut pretty toy of a coupe tho old
horse that drew the old curriuiro. and
equally impossible to put on the box the
old coachman who dree tho old horse.
That Is why on Thursday, April 23, at
10:1)0 p. in., a very handsome sorrel
mare, driven by a very correct English
coachman, drew M. and Mine. Derline
to the Palmers' Iioiiho. Nevertheless,
yet ono tiling was lucking n little groom
by tho English coachman's side. But
one munt uso a certain discretion. The
moat beautiful womuu iu Puris proposed
to wait for ten days before asking for
tho littlo groom.
While sho mounted tho staircase at
tho Palmers' sho distinctly board the
repeated little blows of her heartbeats.
Sho entered, and for tho first minute she
enjoyed the delicious scnsition of suc
cess. Yes, decidedly all wont well. She
was in tho way of having all Paris at
her feet. And sure of herself, more
confident, more courageous, more rash,
sbo advuueed, leaning on M. Palmer's
arm, who introduced hor on the way to
counts, marquises and dukes.
Puhner suddenly said to bcr:
"I am anxious to present to you on
of your greatest admirers, who the other
night at tho opora could talk of nothing
else but your beauty the Princo de
Ncrins."
Muio. Derlino was not to see the
Princo do Ncrins that night. Neverthe
less ho had counted surely on going to
Palmer's house and presiding at tbo
opothcosis of his notary's wife. Eut ho
dineil at his club aud permitted himself
to bo persuaded to go to a first per
formance at a small theater. They
played an operetta cast in the classic
mold. Tho principal character was u
yotfhg queen, who was always escorted
by four regulation ladies of honor.
Threo of these young ladies wero well
known to fli nt uighters as having figured
in a good many finales of operettas aud
in not a fow processions of fairies. Bnt
the fourth oh, tho fourth! She was
new, a magnificent brunette of the most
surprising beauty. When tho audience
was leaving, Prince do Nerius said to
every one who would listen to him:
"Thut brunette! Heiu! That brunette!
There's nothing liko her in any other
theater. She's tho most beautiful wo
man iu Paris. The most beautiful."
The next morning Mine. Derline found
in the fashionable intelligence of her
newspaper ten lines uboiit the Palmers'
bull. The marchionesses, tho couutesses
and tho duchesses who were thore were
named, but of her, Mine. Derline, not r.
word not one word.
And to make it worse, ho Iwho wrote
about the theatrical performance landed
In cntlmsiustiO terms the behuty of the'
idal lady of honor and said, V 'Mor'oover, ,
the Prince de Nerius declared that in-
contestably Mile. Miranda was the most
beautiful woman in Paris. I
Mmo. Derline threw tho pnper in the
fire. She did not wish her husband to
know- that she was no longer the most
beautiful woman iu Puris.
Nevertheless sho held on to tho greut
dressmaker and tho English couchman,
lint she has never dared to ask for the
littlo groom. Translated from tho

where, clad in deep mourning and
holding a clean pocket handkerchief
in her hand, the lady novelist sat,

"The boi-rowed book.'" What a text
for a 6ermon, said a clever author.
If books are borrowed, mar them not ;
neither turn down the leaves, and,
above all, be careful to return them
in as good a state of preservation as
when borrowed. To write on the
margins is unpardonable, vulgar, ill
bred. Good Housekeeping.
A Cow buperatltion.
According to Indo-Europe-n folk
lo: e the clouds of the heavens wero
nothing bat cows, who were invested
with the duties of a psychopomp. At
times these clouds descended to the
earth and assumed their bovine garb,
but their duty remained the same.
Hence the superstition prevalent in
many agricultural countries that a
cow breaking into a garden foretells
a death in the family. The psycho
pomp was merely looking for a soul
to escort to the hereafter. Aew

Wkat Wrinkle Signify.
Wrinkled foreheads in children be
token consumption, rickets or idiocy.
Vertical wrinkles of the brow come

for that event and tried many differ

THE NUKSK'g DELIGHT,
Every experienced nurse knows the value
of a remedy which, without being an ano
dyne, will relieve soreness of the limbs or
stiffness of the joints and enable a patient
to sleep quietly and naturally.
Just such a remedy are Allcock's Pok

the back, if necessary cut into strips and
placed over the nitucles of the lim'is, they
work marvels in the wav of soothing and
quietiiiK restlessness, neingperlectiy sim

they can be need freely, and many a suf
ferer hflB thanked them for a night of quiet
rest, grateful both to him and those who
csr for him.
