None But Royal Easing Pouter is absolutely pure No other equals it, or approaches it in leavening- strength, purity, or vholesomencss. (See U. S. Gov't Reports.) No other is made from cream of tartar specially refined for it and chemically pure. No other makes such light, sweet, finely-flavored, and wholesome food. No other will maintain its strength without loss until used, or will make bread or cake that will keep fresh so long, or that can be eaten hot with impunity, even by dyspeptics. No other is so economical The Baking Powders now being offered in this vicinity, with the statement that they are 'as good as Royal," have been shown by the official analyses to be composed of alum and detrimental to health. The official chemists of the United States and Can ada, State analysts, municipal boards of health, -and physicians indorse 'the -great qualities of the Royal Baking Powder. MADAM ARACHNE.

It hs on file in the odice of the recorder of deeds, where it has been for nearly a cemury. This unique legal document is in tmapeof a deed, the trrantee being an oak tree. The tree as it now stands is in front of the residence of Major Stanley at Athens, uu what was formerly a farm owned by Colonel W. H. Jackson. It was an odd transaction all around, one eminently characteristic of the grantor, who was known as a man of strong loveti and hates, having many of the former and but few of the latcer. He and the old tree grew np together, and the leanings of his peculiar nature caused bim to reverence the gigantic oak as though it were a thing of animate life. , When in ripe old age the colonel reflected that he would soon be called hence it grieved him to think of leaving the tree to the mercy of any destroyer capable of wielding an ax. With these thoughts iu mind he went to the court house and re corded this remarkable -instrument: "I, M. Jackson, of the county of Clarke, state of Georgia, of the first part, and the oak tree (giving location) of the other part, witnesseth: That the said W. H. Jackson, for and In consideration of the great affection he bears for said tree and lu desire to see it protected, has convoyed anil by these presents does convey and con firm unto said tree entire po&sttHsion of itself and of the land within eight feet of it on all sides."

The meat used was pork aud a good quantity of ba con, pounded in a mortar, with pepper, cummin, winter savory, and moistened with garum, to which were added a few pine nuts. It has been pointed out that the Bomans when they used breadcrumbs took care that the bread Bhould be of the very finest kind, and that before it was mingled with the sausage meat it should be soaked in wine. This was a most sensi ble precaution against the contingency of the bread passing through a sour stage of fermentation, in which case it would be undeniably unwholesome.-iLondon Tele graph.

One army went to the north, another to the south, a third to the east, and a fourth to the west These armies of mice traveled until they reached the point where, from the place of starting, the heavens seemed to touch the earth. Then they climbed up the sky un til they came to the moon, which was by this time what we call full. AU of the four armies then commenced nibbling at Luna, and when they had eaten her all up the mice would scamper back down the heavens to the earth and wait for her to show herself again, when the journey and nibbling would be repeated by the mice. And this is what the Indians of early days believed was the cause of the moon grow ing old and finally disappeariug.Ouiaba Lee. Whea Gen. Butler Was Admitted.
