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.

: A Tree Deeded to Itaalll
In one respect at least the Clarke county
(Oa. i court house is tue repository of the
moat remaricaUJe leai document ever
drawn up by man. 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." From the tenor of the
deed the tree is not only possessor of itself,
but is a Georgia real estate holder, Bt.

The Bomnns were very much addicted
to sausages m ode at Lucauiu. 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

Indian Legend of the BInon.

I lief as to the cause of the disappearance of
the moon, tie said the belief was that
every time the new moon appeared it was
a signal for all the mine in the country to
gnther tuemAulvus together iu one spot.
When they uaxembled they separated In
four great armies. 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

Whea Gen. Butler Was Admitted.
There are few lawyers in practice in Bos
ton today who recall the beginning of Gen.
Butler's legal career. One of these, few is
I 8. Morse, who indeed bftgnn the life oi
a lawyer on the very same day as Gen.
Butler.
''Butler and myself," "sold Mr. Morse,
"had each studied law for three years,
lacking three months. We bad studied in
different offices in Lowell. If we had com
pleted the three years' course of study It
would not have been necessary to take an
examination. I do not recall what judge
it was to whom wj applied to be examined,
but I remember he anted why we wished to
be examiu at all when three months
more study would secure our admission to
the bar. Ben said, VTe want to know
whether we know anything or not.1
"The next morning we went to the judge
at the Merrtmao house to be examined. It
was my turn first. The judge had a lot of
questions prepared, which I answered to
the best of ciy ability. Then it was Ben's
turn. When he came out I asked him how
he got along, and he said, 'Hang it! He
made me answer a lot of questions, but
would not Eeli me whether I had passed or
not' The next day the judge announced
in court that we had passed the examina
tion and were entitled to admission to the
bar. This was in lb4u" 'Boston Adver

with stomach trouble, aud was for
all that time tinder treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. I t seem

strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me."
