The Woman Makes fee Home
She makes it best who, looking after the
culinary department, turns her back resolute
ly upon unhealthful, or even suspicious, food
accessories. She is economical; she knows
that true economy does not consist in the use
of inferior meat, flour, or baking powder. She
is an earnest advocate of home made, home
baked food, and has proved the truth of the
statements of the experts that the best cook
ing in the world today is done wth Royal
Baking Powder.
CHE bo called "railway question" h no longer one to be treated
by press and public with indifference on the theory that any
damage to the business is hurtful only to a few rich people.
IT IS A GREAT NATIONAL QUESTION THAT MUST BE
.DISCUSSED FULLY AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE, AND WHEN THE
PRESS AND THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THE REAL FACTS IT IS TO
BE HOPED THAT THEY WILL REALIZE THAT THE GENERAL WEL
FARE OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY DEPENDS UPON HAVING SAFE.
COMFORTABLE, REGULAR AND ADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION, AND
TO HAVE IT THE NECESSARY PRICE MUST BE PAID.
The press can do much to correct the impression that railways
are "making" great sums of money, for the statement is not true. The
railways are having a largo volume of business and show gross earn
ings of very large figures, but the public mind is CONFUSED ON
THE SUBJECT OF "GROSS EARNINGS" of the railways and
the "making of money" by the railways.
Too often the impression remains in the mind of the individual
that because a railway has gross earnings of fifty or sixty or seventy
millions of dollars this enormous sum of money has gone to a LIM
ITED NUMBER OF RICH OWNERS of the property. As a
matter of fact, after paying for wages, materials, taxes, rentals and a
very modest return on the fair value of the property there is little or
nothing left for those improvements which must be made day by day
to keep the transportation machine in good order for today's business,
let alone the very large investment that must be made to care for the
GROWING BUSINESS and demands of this country.

FRENCH ZOUAVES.
Those Fighters Wen Their Qroataat
Fame In tha Crimea.
One of the moat interesting class of
soldiers of modern times has been the
Kronen corps called the souavea. This
body of during and picturesquely at
tired fighters reached tbe heights of
Its reputation during tbe Crimean war.
The souave corps at that time was
supposed to consist of Frenchmen. It
was. however, quite International,
since many during young foreigners
bad Joined It, and It was known to In
clude In Its ranks men from Oxford,
Cottlngen and other universities It Is
probable thut a majority of Its members
were in It more for love of fighting
than for any love of country.
It Is not strange, therefore, that Its
fame a a Hunting body should have
spread throughout the world. When
our war between tbe states broke out
several corps of souaves, wearing the
glittering oriental uniforms of the
French corps or a modi Ilea tioo of them,
were formed on both sides. On tbe
Culon side the best known was that
corps commanded by Elmer Ellsworth,
a young ottirer from New York and
the first killed on the Union side. In
tbe Confederacy tbe most famous corps
of Koiinres was that called the "Lou-
Isluuit Tigers."
While in American military life the
souave uniform has practically disap
peared. In France the souave name
and uniform still survive. Harper's

The services at the Unitarian

meeting at 6:30 p. m.; lecture on Kt
ligion and Science at 7:30. The sub
ject of this fourth lecture Is "The
Faith Basis of Science," and is de
signed to show that both science and
religion depend on faith and faiths,
that the unseen figures in both, and
that the fundamentals in each are
transcendental.

I 'Id you ever awe bluellsb charge a
school of nivnbuden at seat Tbat la
ionieihlim north seeing. The bluedsb
Hi row llicir lines forward until they al
iiiiiki kiii round the menhaden, and they
attack them flank and rear. The men
iimlcn fairly make tbe water boll In
tneii efforts to escape, while all around
i lie eueuiy is at them tearing relent
lessly. Into all this commotion cornea a
greut shark. It'a a picnic (or tbe shark,
a achool of menhuden all herded up for
his benefit It swims leisurely into tbe
midst of them, open Its mouth ' and
takes lu half a dozen menhaden at a
gulp It swims around and bites out
half a doien more from tbe school. It
gore's Itself without effort
But tbe menhaden are not nearly aa
much disturbed by tbe presence of tbe
monster swimming about among them
as they are By the charging biueflsh.
The shark takes half a dozen flsb or
more at a bite, while tbe biueflsh only
bites a piece out of a single fish, but
there Is only one shark, while there
may be thousands of biueflsh plunging
and tearing Incessantly and killing and
maiming at every stroke.
Tbe shark's a brute, but under such
circumstances the menhaden have lesa
of fear than they hare of contempt for
him.
WONDERS OF BAALBEC.
A Building Problem That Has Puzzled
Modern Engineer.
Ban I bee, or Baalbek, la tbe name
given a ruined city lying In ancient
Coele, Syria, forty-five mllea northwest
of Daniuscus.
There la nothing particularly re
markable about a ruined city being
found Id tbe locality mentioned, but
tbe size of tbe blocks of stone used
by tbe ancient builders of this partic
ular city Is something that baa puz
zled the modern engineers since the
day when Baaibec was first made tbe
Mecca of the oriental traveler.
There are Immense atonea on every
side of tbe visitor to this ancient pile
of ruins, but the three most remarka
ble blocks-said to be tbe largest ever
used In tbe construction of a building
are In a wall back of tbe temple of
Baal
These Immense atonea are respec
tively sixty-four, sixty-three and sixty
two feet In length and each la thirteen
feet In thickness, but tbe most wonder
ful thing In connection with them Is
the fact they are at a place In the wall
twenty five feet from the ground.
How these Immense blocks of granite
were ever raised to such a height Is a
question that has never yet been an
swered Tiger and Lion.
"One time. In order to test tbe cour
age of a Henna I tiger and a lion," aald
a well known showman. we placed
Chinese crackers In the respective
cases and fired the fuses. As soon aa
th fuses began to burn they attracted
the attention of both animals, but in
a widely different manner. The Hon
drew Into a corner and watched tbe
proceedings with a distrustful and on
etiy eye. The tiger, on the contrary,
advanced to the burnlug fuse with a
firm step and unflinching gnze. On
reaching the cracker be began to roll
It over the floor with bis paw, and
when It exploded beneath his nose be
did not flinch, but continued bis exam
Inatlon until perfectly satisfied. The
Hon betrayed great fear when be beard
the reirt of the explosion and for
quite n time could not be coaxed out of
bis den "-tendon Tit-Blta.
Victoria and th Future.
Queeu Victoria's childlike faltb In
the future life is toucblngly revealed In
her published letters to Dr. Boyd Car
penter. The only fear that troubled
her was lest those she loved who bad
left tliis world before ber might have
outgrown her companionship. "I feel
only this doubt." he wrote to Car
penter, "on account of my dear hus
band, whose tastes were of a higher
and different order from mine and who
bad different Interests perhaps from
mine. I am far more fit now to be bis
companion than 1 used to be, but still
I know that be must have soared
higher than ma"
Raiment of the Cottar,
The English costermonger must be
fearfully and wonderfully clothed.
Judging from the following coster
tailor's advertisement In a London
paper:
"A slap-up toga and kickslea builder,
with npper Benjamins snipped on a
downy plan, with moleskins of hanky
panky design, with a double fakement
down the sides and artful buttons at
bottom, with ktcksles cut pegtop, half
tight, or to drop loose over tbe trot
ters, with fancy vesta made to flash
the dickey, or to lit tight round the
scrag."
