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.

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."
"No, please your majesty," said
Wilson, "I will not leave my wifo in
her old age because she is poor."
His island was, indeed, a poor spot,
but he had wedded it for life.

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

TIIK KAJAH MUTINY.
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-

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

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. Yon well boast indeed of
the superior liberties allowed you,
when they lock you up thus in a
box!""
