Don't Blame the Cook If a baking powder is not uniform in strength, so that the same quantity will always do the same .work, no one can know how to use it, and uni formly good, light food cannot be produced with it. All baking powders except Royal, because improperly compounded and made from inferior materials, lose their strength quickly when the can is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted. It is always the case that the consumer suffers in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub stitute for the Royal Making I'owdcr. The Royal is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder. It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more economical because of its greater strength, but will retain its full leavening power, which no other powder will, until used, and make more wholesome food. A MOUNTAIN ROAD.

In the Seventeenth century Bishop Wilson was sent to the Isle of Mun then containing a lawless and igno rant community with such unlim ited power over clergy and people that it is a wonder he succeeded in doing good ratlior than evil. A ty rant did he prove, but a loving one, and all Manxmen today blows the good bishop's name. In time of fam ine he throw open his own house to the needy and gave without stint, asking no man whethor he were saint or sinner, but only if he hun gered. When his own means were gone he bogged from England, though he was, as one historian declares, "a man who would not have held out his hat to save his own life." He never desired preferment, but clung to his own thorny road with the zeal of one who has renounced material good tor the love of tho highest. r'See, my lords," said Queen Caro line one day, as he approached the crowd of churchmen who surrounded her, "here is a bishop who does nut come for translation."

Iron TJeed for Horeoa' Shoe. It ia reported that there are 1,045, 000 horses within the limits of the United Kingdom and Channol is lands. From this number at least one twentieth must be deducted as not requiring to be shod such as colts, fillies, horses at grass, etc this leaves 1,847,750 horses wearing shoes. According to the nature of their em ployment the periods which thoiP shoes Inst vary as also the weight of the shoes. The number of times horses are shod during the year ranges from six to nine, but tho avor age may be taken at eight, which gives as a result69,128,000 horseshoes used during the year. This number of shoes, including the requisite number of nails, con sumes 80,31)2 tons 424 pounds of iron, which at the rate of 7 10s. per ton for material and 2 10s. for labor 10 in all represents a sum of 503,022 expended annually in horseshoeing.

"Tell you what it is, Jim, we lughter be proud of it. "What's tho use, " replied the other. "Tain t no use to us." "Moblie it ain't. But we ought to be proud of it 'cause we own part of it."

"Talkin tlmt-a-way, we do," mur mured Jim, dejectedly. "But 'tain t no good to us if we do. We can't sell out Bill." "I don t know bout that, replied Bill, a brilliant thought striking him.

It was at West Hartlepool that wo shtjijxxl them, and 1 pledge yuti the honest word of an old sua dog that a greener set of galoots novor before walked tho docks of tho c!ipxr ship Rajith of Cochin, that famous old East Indiumim. The ship had been loaded with cast Irou "sleepers" for tho great Jeliaiiun Jow Juldeo rail way and was forced to ship her crow at that lKirt. I hey had, it is true. pussod through a little mantmio ex porionco ia tlie collier brigs that plied between lmilim and the xrtsoii the northeast coast of England, but they wore utterly ignorant of everything appertaining to a "limo juicer," as ships going deep sea voyages were then called. "I shall luivo a lot of trouble with that crowd of liiblwrs," said the chief mate as the awkward gang tumbled over tho side and went into the top gallant forecastle with thoir dun nago. The Rajah was a big vessel of about 2,000 tons. Sho carried three skysail yards aloft and lior stun'sitil gear took up a big portion of the fore- peak. Her captain was n devil to drive her and the harder it blow the better ho liked it, so long, of couino, as tho wind was any way fuir. I was third mate of her and wns busy on tho poop siicrintcnding some repairs to tho wheel chains when the crew arrived from tlio ship ping otlico. They wero in chtirgo of a gang of boarding limine runners who had cashed their advance notes of 2 10s. each and wero IxHintl to see that they left port in the vessel The skipper stood at the break of tho poop taking in tho sicctaclo. There wore thirty five of them, and out of all those only ono the houtswum bad crossed tho lino. They seomej to have a peculiar fascination for the captain, who regarded them as a cut would a colony or young mice, know ing well that when they were plump enough and nno enough, in the regit lar way of business, they would come into bis clutches. After ho had got every man jack of them classified in his mind s eye ho walked ait and sat down on tho wheel gratiug, chuck ling almost iiniK-rceptibly and show- a magnificent set of teeth, white and glistening as the grinders of u blood hound. The skipiier was a gentleman by birth and education. Flo had served in the royal navy and been dismissed from tho serviiK) bemuse ho fought a duel with his superior officer, the cause of the quaiTol boinjj a lovely Creole girl of Jamaica, who was Ito- loved by Ixith. Tho barlied arrow of disgrace seemed to have pierced his soul. His disposition, once umiablu. became cruel and malevolent. He lost all Hj'inpathy with the human race, and his only chum was Satan, a pet mongoose that he hud picked up at Mosul i pa tain. After leaving the navy ho had no trouble in becoming tho commander of an East India clipper, for he was uu expert navigator and tho best sea man 1 ever sailed with. But (Jou huve niorcy on tho linen draper's up prentice who shipped under the false pretense that ho was a sailor man, for the skippor had none. He would mako his lifo a hell upon sea, and drive him to desertion, or perhaps suicide. I am talking of tho time when a sea captaiu had some real power, 1h- foro Samuel Plimsoll and the English board of trade took up tho British sailor's side of tho question and pam pered and potted him till now ho is neither useful nor ornamental. 1 have always had to work hard for mv living at sea, and like my old cap tains, now dead and gono, hud no sympathy with sea lawyers or iin posters of that ilk. But now, being in my old ago and somowhat mel lowed by religion and rheumatism, I am free to confess that the "old mon" I sailed with were perhaps a woe bit too sovero with their crews. After bringing himself to an an chor on tho grating and meditating mischief for awhilo, tho skipper called an apprentice to him. Boy Jack, go and toll the mate i want him. "Boy Jack," a little Londoner, who was always in a state of deadly terror of the skipper's too, hopped forward as h voly us a cricket. I ho mute was standing on tho forecastle, closo by the knight heads, yelling vociferous ly to the men on tho upper foretop- sail yard, who were engagod in bend ing the sail. This was the song lie sung: 'You lubbers, dash your eyes and limbs, don't you know enough to tmtke the midship stop rust botore you haul out tho earring? Wait till 1 get yon to sea and you shall smell hell." "Boy Jack" nt this moment told him that tho captain wanted him on tho poop. Ho clapped a stopper on his jaw tackle ond swiftly strode att. 'Mr. Robinson,' softly said the skipper, "pleaso reserve the harsh ness of your language until you get clear of tho land. You know we must co to sea in tho morning. If you bully thoso lubbers now, hnlf of them will desert tonight. 1 reany gave you credit for a little more in telligence. Go forward now and at tend to your duty and mind you ex orcise nioro discretion in future or 1 shall lie forced to engage another chief officer." 1 tell you. Captain Corcorau knew how to use his words. The sailors were accustomed to say that he hud "swallowed tho booktionnry. The mate touched his hut respect fully and went forward. At the timo I am speaking or it was not cus tomary to salute the captain when he gave an order, but our skipper, with his naval education and instincts, took care that the etiquette of her maiestv's service was properly mam tained on board the Rajah of Cochin, a merchantman and a lime juicer, All that afternoon Mr. Robinson spoke in another language to the crew. He was mock ana meaiy mouthed. He didn't even resent the action of a Northumbrian sailor who had the cheek to address hun famil iarly as "Bill." This was sacrilege, for Mr. Robinson was not aware that it was the usual thing for the sailors of coasters to address the mates as Tom, Dick or Harry in place of the inevitable "Mr." or ' Sir" on board deep water craft But a dark, angry flush darted across his countenance like a catiiaw ruffling a quiescent lake, and a demoniac grin showed that his amour propre bad been touched to tho quick". I thought to myself that I would not stand in that sailor's shoos for a wholo voyago's wages, At 0 o'clock next morning, before the tug towed us out to sea, all hands mustered uft and answered to their names. There was not a single do sorter. Tho captain himself was present at tho roll call, and his faith ful mongoose perched on his shoulder, lie did not say a word, but fondly gloated on them as Mr. Wolf would if he had lcon hired to shepherd o fat and juicy flock of ewes and no qiustions asked. Tho niongooso, too, winked with his starlxMird eye. It was evident that ho and his master understood euch other. The ship was towod out past tho bar, and we spread every stitch of plain sail to tho fresh northeasterly breezo, which blow with rare vigor. Our pilot wns surprised to sco tho old craft overhaul a fleet of sluggish coasting brigs thnt could scarcely got out of thoir own way. In a very few hours we bad pnsscd outside Yar mouth road, and in three days we put the pilot ashore off the Islo of Wight. Then, with a spunking south easter, we sped down the channel, taking our departure from the Lizard. Until the pilot left Captain Lor coran behaved like a gentleman. He was as iolite as Billy-bo -blowed. But after we hud squared our mainyard and filled away on our course he be- guu to sail under his true colors. The crew of counting colliers that we enr- ried had never learned to steer by dogrees nnd were ignorant of tho nicotics of amplitudes and azimuths. When tho skipier went aft and told tho lubber at the holm to keep her south, 07 dogs, west, the follow was flabbergasted. "South, 07 degs. west," repeated he, "1 don t know what you moan. "You don't, eh? you impostorl I'll mighty soon teach you," and with an awful curse he foiled tho man with a belaying pin. "Take hold of tho wheel," he said to me, and I grasped tho spokes. The skipiier kicked tho dazed helmsman off the poop. This was out a mere taste or tho old man's quality. From that time on tho crew uever once cot an afternoon watch below, and wore worked and driven like slaves un der the sharp lush of an overseer. The men were at first cowed. They had not been accustomed to such treatment. They sulked about tho decks like so many whipped curs with their tails between their legs, and seemed to have utterly lost their manhood. And tho skipper rejoiced with a great big gladness. He was in his element. Gratified spite and malice gleamed from his sinister eyes. The mongoose, too, enjoyed himself. Ho lived in the captain's cabin. The steward said they both occupied the same bunk. Every morning the skip per would feed his pot. Ho used to take a fowl out of tho hencoop and hold it between his knees to keep its wings from flapping. Then ho would seize its head and stretcn its uecu out. This was tho mongoose's oppor tunity. With its fur standing on end and all tho bloodthirstincss of its na ture gleaming out of its devilish oyes, it used to dart at tho neck of the fowl and suck its blood. The fowls came to an end about the time we reached latitude 30 degs. south. Then the skippor fed his pet on rats which he caught in the laza retto, having a dozen traps of the most approved variety. Ho would take his mongoose out of his pocket and put it in the trap with the rat and gloat over the spectacle. The mongoose would dart like lightning at the neck of the rat and make in stantaneous work of it. No terrior that ever lived was half so smart as the captain's chum. At last there came a time when the rats refused to be caught, and Satan came near dying of starvation. A niongooso will touch nothing that it hnsn't killed. Blood warm from the veins is the only pubuhmi it will take. Sutan grew thin as a horring, and Captain Corcoran was in despair. One afternoon, however, when the ship was becalmed, a flock of cape pigeons Bwunnod around, and the captain caught a dozen of them with fine hooks baited with salt pork. Ihis meant a new lease of lifo for Satan. In a few days he wns as sleek and fat as over. Three weeks afterward we were "limning our easting down," in lati tude 44 degs. south. A westerly gale was blowing with fury. We wero under throe lower topsails, a reefed foresail and a foretopmast staysail. Enormous seas pursued us, and tho roar as they broke under our stern and seethed nnd boiled as they raced after the old packet, threatening to poop her, was quite disturbing to our greenhorn crew, who had never bo fore seen the south Atlantic disturbed by a tchipcst. Two men wero at the wheel, and although it was bitterly cold they were in their shirt sleeves and sweating, tx, nt thnt, so hard was the work of keeping the Rajnh of Cochin on her course. It wns the dawn of a tempestuous day. The sky in the east was a mass of cold, dull gray, lightened up here and there by tinted clouds of lurid red. The waves that followed were almost black, save where the crests of snowy foam top pled over in white nnd translucent beauty. It was the second mate's watch on deck. Ho paced the poop closo by tho wheel, ready to lend a hand should the old Packet threaten to broach to or bo brought by the lee. Tho skipHT came on deck at eight Mis. The chief mnte and I were alxmt to relieve tho second mute, when the captain beckoned to Mr. Robinson and said. "Mr. Robinson, go into tho fore castle and tell Tom Wiley that I must have his jackdaw. My mongoose is dying, and rather than I should lose him I would sink the ship." I glanced at the captain and real ized that he was insane. There was a demoniac glare in his eyes and a fiendlike expression on his counte nance. He was hugging the hungry mongoose to his breast. The chief mnte, accustomed to obeying the captain blindly, touched his cap, said, "Ave, ave, sir!" and hurried forward as quickly as the rolling of the vessel would permit While he is on his way to the fore castle let me explain. Tom Wiley was a huge Yorkshireman, hailing from Robin Hood s bay. He was one of the few men that the captain hadn't maltreated. When he came on board at West Hartlepool he ; brought with him a pet jackdaw ia a wicker cngo. The bird hud leon his companion on many a voyage and ho loved it. Tho jackdaw could talk a little and would hop around tho forecastlo and fratoniizo with all hands. 1 knew thnt Wiloy would novor allow, tho bird to become the prey of tho mongoose. In a fow minutes the chief mate returned with Tom Wiley's answer that if tho captain wanted tho jack daw he was to go forword and got him. The captain's face grow gray with savago passion. With an oath he rushed forward to tho forocastlo, fol lowed by tho chief mate. Johnson and I remained on the poop. Thero was a scuffle, and beforo ono could say a word the skipper and the mate wero thrown overboard. You should havo seen the skipper's face as ho went whirling down, kick ing his heels togothor over his head, into the black water. Or maybe you would rather not have soon it. It is no special fun to remombor. As he wont down he tried to grub the first mate, and the two mon struggled to gothor for an instant on the crest of a wave, l hen tho mate nit tho skip per between the eyes. It was all done in a second. Then tho whole ship's comiiany, led by the lioatswain, rushed aft and took chargo. 1 he second mnte and I were seized and bound, but no un necessary harshness was used. It was quite a dramatic scene, that as semblage of mutineers on tho poop, with the wild gale blowing and the seething seas singing their weird war cry as they hissed past the ship's steep black sides. "See here," said Tom Wiloy, "we don't mean to do you two men any harm if you listen to reason. The old man and the chief mate we sent to hell. The mongoose that wanted my jackdaw has gone with them. It served thorn right We ve mutinied, and wo know the penalty. What you've got to do is to navigate the ship to some port in tho Bay of Ben gal and allow us to get ashore and shift for ourselves. If you don't agree to this both of you can join those bloody devils below." Of course we consented. What else to do? We had to deal with a body of determined mon, driven to desperation by tyranny. I couldn t help contrasting thoir demeanor at that time with their cowardly con duct of a few hours before. The mongoose was the last straw. The men behaved well during the rest of the voyage. All the work they did was to trim sail and make necessary repairs to the rigging. They feasted high on cabin stores and mado short work of tho rum cask. When we got off Ceylon they hauled the cable up out of the chain lockers and hoisted the anchors over tho side. They had no spite against the ship or grudgo against us. Next day a Chinese junk hove in sight. The boatswain, the only deep water sailor Aboard, called a council of the mutineers on the forecastle. In a little while became aft and informed tho second mate thnt tho crew had determined to capture the junk and go in her to some port of Sumatra or the Malay archipelugo. They trimmed the yards and chased the jimk, soon overhauling her. They fired a gun at her and she hove to. The boatswain and ten men took possession of hor and, the sea being smooth, lashed her alongside the Rajah. The almond eyed, pig tailed sailors in chargo of her were scared to death. Several casks of pork and beef, bags of biscuit and plenty of fresh water were trans ferred from the ship to the junk, and the mutineers were just about to em burk on her when the second mate came on deck and said to the boat swain : "Boatswain, you are a sailor, and you know very well that if tho ship is caught in a gale of wind with all sail set we two men and the six ap prentices can do nothing with her. Now, like a good fellow, furl every thing but tho three lower topsails and the foretopmast staysail and then I shall feel easy." He consented, and m half an hour the ship was snug for a hurricane. Then our crew left us in the junk, sotting all sail and giving us three cheers. We barely moved through the water undor the short canvas spread to tho breeze. "Johnson," said I, "why, in the name of heaven, did you shorten sail to tliree lower topsails?" "I will tell you, ho said. "When I went below to get a chart and com pass for the boatswain, I looked at the barometer and noticed that it had fallen nearly half an inch. This is the time for the change of the mon soons, and in less than six hours a cy clone will strike us." And it did. For sixty hours it blew with hurricane force. Owing to the second mate's foresight we were pre pared for it. The ship was hove to on the starboard tack all the time. When it camo on to blow so hard that it was not safe to carry the fore and mizzen topsails, we lot go the sheets, and with a hang like that of a cannon away blew every rag to leeward. When the cyclone was over we managed to set out upper topsails and jib, taking the halyards to the winch nnd heaving hard all day. Under the canvas we reached ega patam, signaling for assistance when in sight of shore. A number of Las cars came off in n Masoolah boat. and with their aid we let go anchor and preidired to discharge cargo. The second mate went to Madras next day by bullock wagon and told the whole story to the owner's agents. They promptly sent a crew down by a schooner to take charge of the ship. I never heard what became of the junk. I think she foundered in the cyclone. A. J. K. in Detroit News. The Turkish Women Were Surprised. Here is an amusing anecdote told by Lady Mary Wortley Montagne of her residence in Constantinople: "One of the highest entertainments in Turkey is having you to their baths. When I was introduced to one, the lady of the house cams to undress me another high compli ment they pay to strangers. After she slipped off my gown and saw my stays she waa very much struck at the sight of them and cried out to the other ladies in the bath : 'Come hither and see how cruelly the poor English ladies are used by their hus bands.
