' Do not permit the slanderous stories of inter ested parties to influence you in using any other than The Best, The Royal. 1o One to Welcome Him. An amusing story is told of a well known and popular young minister wtio returned trom a vacation spent m Lnrope to his homo in Brooklyn, on Prospect heights. The ship on which he had sailed was notoxpected in arrive until Sunday nurht or Mon day, and as quarantine was at that time difficult to toss there wag thought to be no possibility of the doniune reaching home sooner than expected, bis wife felt no hesitancy, therefore, in going out to make a call, leaving the house in the care of t new servant on Saturday, with in structions to toll any one who called end inquired for the doctor to say tlurt ha would be borne Monday. Hurried on by favorable winds and currents the steamship did arrive, end in the afternoon, expecting to tnke his family by surprise, the min ister ran up the stoop of his residence and rang the bolL The servant in .response to the summons opened the door a fnw inches and said. "The niisat in out, sir." -. "Are any of thechildren in!" asked the doctor. - "Tuny are all out and the doctor won't be home until Monday, sir." Somewhat taken back by the idea that he was gome one else and that he was still on the ocean, the min ister said, "I am the doctor," and pushing by the girl entered the house. Then, us the story goes, there began a game of follow your leader which was extremely embarrassing to the minister. Wherevor he went the servant, who was not convinced , of his identity, followed, until finally in a lit of desperation the young divine left the servant in sole posses sion and went around the corner to wait for his wife to come and intro duce him to the now acquisition to the household.

In the Chilean Andes the naturalist Tschuui made the ac quaintance of a Creole farmer who con fessed that he had experimented for sev eral years before he succeeded in cap turing s live alpaca. He had imitated the traps of the In dians, their method of fixing them in the sand of the river banks, their pre caution in obliterating the traces of thoir footstops, but all in vain till an Indian renegade revealed the secret namely, that the alpacas select their drinking places where there is an audible ripple in the current of the river, perhaps for the same reason that cows prefer a brook to a pond and a mnning spring to a sliurjsh creek. The mnrmunnft of the stream seemed to suggest the idea of purer and cooler water, and where the current was slow the Indians con trived to produce a ripple by an artificial obstruction.

Vrvo Tluti llttten, but Hot flesdy So Abandon His Yonetlon. The popular idea is that a rattle snake is a curse to mankind and of Absolutely no use, except possibly to tive the male coptingout in camping end picnic partita an exouse for pro viding a wull known serpent bite antidote. Andrew Akers, a white haired ex-miner, who occasionally conies to town from his lonely home tway up in the San Bernardino moun tains, tells us that the rattlesnake is. Mu its way, a blessing to mankind. k l reckon I ought to know some ling about the serpents," said he the other day, "for I have earned the whole living of myself and wife for several years in catching rattlers and gotting tlie oil out of them. I know some folks are mighty scary about rattlesnakes, and for one who dont know about the critters' ways it is pretty risky business getting fungod by a rattler. I occasionally get nerv ous among tho mttlors, but I have to keep a steady nerve and quick eye in my business." , The old gmitlntnan tells us that lie had always heard how valuable pure rattlesnake oil is. and that several years ago he got tho oil from a dozen snakes that he came across in his woodcutting operations in the moun tains. When the summer was over he had twenty ounces, and got two dollars on ounce for ail of it from a Los Angeles druggist. He has since made a business of bunting rattle snakes up and down the mountain sides and through the canyons. He catches from lull to 200 snakes in a summer, and generally gathors from taou to $400 worth of oil from them. The market price foT the product is two dollars an ounce, and there is little fluctuation, liattlesiinke oil in used in rheumatic cures and in oint ments for some skin diseases. The oil when sold has a peurly white color and is free from any odor. It tastes much like tallow. A Rood sized rattlesnake will furnish from one to two ounces of oil. "How do I catch the snakes! Well, that is eusy enough. I wear boots up above my knees so as to protect mc from any rattler I may tread upon, and I always go with a strong forked stick or club in my hand. I have to keep my wits about me constantly, and to think quick when I am in a snake locality and hear a rattle. I always try to got the rattlers by putting the fork of my stick over their neck as quick as a Hush, and then I have the critter just whore I want him. I next strangle the snake by pressing my j fingers down upon the neck. I get I the rattlers in this way so as to keep them from biting themselves, and , thereby letting the poison into the oil that I am after. In nine cases out of ten rattlesnakes will bite j themselves if they have a chance, and they are the smartest things alive, except human beings. Once ,in awhile I get ths rattlers by ' smashing them in the head, but I : don't like that way, for it's more dangerous and the od is not so good. I "Have I ever been bitten? Yes, ; five times, and I suffered so much i the last time that all the monny on earth would not induce me to be poisoned so again. That was four years ago, and I can feel pains from it to this day. I don't believe any one ever fully recovered from a dose of genuine rattlesnake poison. It i the most awful fltuff on earth. I have seen great big cows die of a drop of the poison in an hour's time." Pomona (Cai,) Progress. i Locomotive Kog Signal, , An improved imothod of signaling to tbedrivors of locomotives in thick .weather has been brought forward in England. On the locomotive it self is fixed on electric boll, to which is attached a contact device, which operates by means of a movable bar which is associated with each signal box. When tho engine passes suah a signal box contact is made and the bell rings, and by the number of beats upon the gong the engine driver knows whether to proceed or whether to stop. The apparatus does not intefere with any existing signaling arrangements, and would lie quite automatic in action pro ivided that the signal man attended to his levers just as if the weather was clear.

' A friend in conversation with Mr, jWhittior, the poet, remarked that ha was about to contract to furnish a lot of oak timber for tho govern ment gunboats, arid asked him if he thought it was in consistence with the peace doctrines of the Quaker de nomination.

When It was too late the cook found she had been unnosed upon bv the am eer or his buy, who bad given Her a new- brand of baking powder in place ol the itoyai, wmen sue nau always nssd wltn Hoo'it luck, and which had been ordered. She had used the new kind, spoiled the biscuit; and cot a scolding. Tne Hoyal Baking Powder, as every cook knows, Is always to be relied upon. It is one of the greatest aids she has. She is siwsys able with the lesst trouble to mage the very finest hiscuits. cakes, muffins and crusts. Manv cook's ren- utation has Been made by" the delicious things she has been able to make with it. It is no wonder that she is iuriignant when the grocer sonde her another bak ing powder in Its place, which snoils ber food, Injures her population and brings her blame. The grocer sends her Ute new brand o! baking nowiier sitnnlv because it eosts him so much less and he can make more profit by selling It than he can on the Royal. The Royal is made from the very finest materials and costs much more than anv other brand, which accounts (or its supsriority, although it tt sold to consumers at tne same price. The cook should examine earelully the label of the baking powder and set that she Is not imposed npon. If the grocer ends anything hut the Royal, send it luck, as one cook did five times nntll she got the Royal. The only safe wav is tor the cook to have the finest things to work with, and the Royal is netonly the nnest, out tne moat economical to nee because it goes so much further, Spurt for tbe Hog, The most laughable thing 1 have seen lately was the discovery of a new kind of game by a lively young setter dog. It was in a large dry goods store where cash is scut to the desk in little boxes whirring along on slender rails. The dog was following his pretty mistress sedately enough, when he heard the sound and saw the swift flight of the of tho oash box. He thought It was a bird, and tore np and down the aisles after it, scattering the crowd and amus ing everybody in sight. As he would not be convinced of his illusion, he had to be removed forcibly from what he probably thought the best hunting ground lie had ever struck. Kate Field's Washington. An Idea of fleaven.
