ROYAL
Best Baking Powder
The Official Government Reports:
The United States Government, after elaborate
tests, reports the Royal Baking Powder to be of
greater leavening strength than any other. ( Bul
letin 13, Ag. Dep., p. 599J
The Canadian Official Tests, recently made, show
the Royal Baking Powder highest of all in leaven
ing strength. ( Bulletin 10, p. 16, Inland Rev, Dep.)
In practical use, therefore, the Royal Baking
Powder goes further, makes purer and more perfect
food, than any bther.
Government Chemists Certify:
"The Royal Baking Powder is composed of pure and
wholesome ingredients. It does
phates, or other injurious substances.

One Blah Han's Little Hobby.
I have been askedoften how rich
men enjoy themselves when they are
free from business, 'observed one diner
out to another, yt know how one does,
and to my m,vhd it is worth telling.
The gentleman lives on Washington
boulevard. He UBed to live out on
one of thjas branches of the Northwest
ern road. He was not always rich.
He Was a student at one time, and
made the most of a collegiate educa
tion. He chose a professional life, and
im that began speculating. . He
seemed peculiarly fitted for, the latter,
and his riches began growing like that
gourd of Jonah. He came to the
city, where he would have more scope,
and fortune continues to walk by his
side. ;
"When he was living up the country,
and before he began to get rich, he
used to have a great deal of young
company at his house. He liked their
society. When he became rich and
moved to the city he did not forget the
little circle. As I said, he is a student.
Not long after he moved into the city
he fitted up a lecture room in his home
and sent word to his young friends in
the country to visit him once a week
and he would deliver a course of lect
ures to them free. - And every Friday
night there came in on one of the
Northwestern trains four ladies and
three young men, who go to the mansion
on Washington boulevard, and are the
beneficiaries of this man's information.
If they choose to do so, they have the
opportunity of remaining over until
Sunday evening, in which event the
rich man takes them to a theatre Sat
urday evening and to church Sunday
morning." Chicago Tribune.
The Russian Navy.
In numbers and in armored tonnage
the Russian navy exceeds that of Italy.
But a large proportion of the Russian
fleet 18 old. Many of these older ships
are small and weakly armored. More
over, some' of Russia's recent vessels
are armored cruisers of an objection
able type. Still she is a good fourth in
the race, and if her present rate of con
struction continues for a few years
longer she is likely to outstrip Italy. A
very large portion of the new vessels
are for the Black seai and. in that quar
ter Russia is the acknowledged mis
tress. Turkey no longer even attempts
to keep pace with her. Three large
battle ships for the Black sea are now
practically completed, the Tchesme, the
Sinope and the Catharine II.
They are sister ships, and their de
tails are: Displacement, 10,180 tons;
length, 331 feet; beam, 69 feet ; draught,
27 feet. Their armor is compound, 16
Inches on the belt and 14 on the tri
angular barbette breastwork. . The
main battery is six 12-inch 50-ton guns;
auxiliary battery, seven 6-inch breech
loading rifles; secondary battery, six
teen small rapid Are and machine guns;
speed eighteen knots.
Three other arniorclads of the same
type and same size are under construc
tion for the Black sea fleet. Russia's
Baltic force, which includes all vessels
for foreign service, is also being exten
sively increased. The additions are
ehiefly of the armored cruiser type ,
SPECIAL INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Portland, Ob., April IS, 1892.
Russell & Co. of this oity received to-day the
largest Bingle shipment of Agricultural Machin
ery ever shipped to this Coast. It came through
from their factory at Masslllon, O., in one solid
train of thirty-two ears, making the long trip in
just twelve days and without a single accident
or mishap.
The thirty-two cars were loaded with Masslllon
"Cyclone" Threshers and Russell Traction En
gines built specially for the Oregon and Wash
ington trade.
The Russell Threshing Outet for this season
will be the best in the market. The engines are
equipped with Russell's Patent Friction Clutch,
which has kept this engine at the head of the
trade. The new "Cyclone" Thresher has a double
barred cylinder set in an Iron frame, which en
tirely overcomes the tendency to loose spikes
and the cylinder twitting out of line, in addition
to Russell's Patent Distributing Beater, which is
peouliar to this machine only.
The good crop outlook Insures a large trade
for this firm, which they certainly deserve.

J3 KATY DIDN'T.
An Evening S'V That a Simple Pressure
of theHanl Will Hush.
There is one crop of early autumn
that grows on trees which doesn't vary
much, and that is the katydids. Cli
matic influences are favorable to the
growth of this fruit. It is a singular
thing that on the same trees where, forty
years ago, as little elms, these chant
ing insects lived, they now stay. They
are never known to change from one
tree to another There may be several
elms of equal size on one street, but
two trees will most likely hold all the
katydids, and from the first chosen
greenery they never budge.
The same way one yard will hays its
number, or one tree in a yard; the next
person's grounds, although Jjjt as cool
and shaded, will have nonar Those iri
the same trees or yards have good man
ners, never interrupting each other,
but listening intenfy for theirt'urn to
express meir oeiiHi as to wnetner naty
did or didn't. The outside world, after
listening foryears to the debate, is di
vided as trfopinion. Just the same as
on mops important subjects, it judges
in accordance witlithe sentiments of
its'own consciousness.
y These little green chanters never
change their eSpinion. For year after
year they belong to the dids or didn'ts,
and by nes mistake alter their saying.
One may tramp around the trees where
they live' mav s'' beneath them, talk,
laugYi or indulge in any noise, and Katy
ohunts on in undisturbed. monologue.
ut lay a hand ever so lightly against
the bark of a tree, one says who has
tried it, and their notes are instantly
hushed, remaining mute till the hand
is removed. In darkness, when one
creeps softly up to an elm where, above
in the branches is taking place a Ioquar
cious dialogue, and softly rests the
palms of the hands against the bark,
the silence is painfully sudden.
There was a man visiting Rhode
Island whose ambition was to possess
some elm trees, and in them katydids;
He had the elms for the katydids, but
no katydids for the elms. So he came
from his distant home and got posses
sion of one. which he carried back and
put well up in the greenery of the elm.
Then he waited. The katy was as
dumb as a sealed fruit jar, and wouldn't
say a word. He wrote back to inquire
why the thing wouldn't open its mouth
and sing. He was informed, first, that
the thing didn't speak the sentence
with any mouth, but with its legs; sec
ond, that although the divorce laws of
Rhode Island were often brittle enough
to sever knots tied by ministers, still he
need not expect any garrulous hilarity
from one katydid separated from its
mate and alone in a lone land. Then
another was sent and put in the tree,
and in true marital style one said Katy
did, and got contradicted in about a
second. They've kept it up ever since,

One Girl's Employment.
'I heard of an employment the other
day," said the philanthropist, "which
brought up to my mind all the horrors
of tea tasting. It recalled the case of
poor Mr. Lucraft. who sold his diges
tion, but it was more harrowing than
that. It rose almost to the dignity of
Paust bargaining away his soul."
''Have you been investigating the
'sweating system,1 or reading about the
workers in Russian mines?"
"Neither. , I heard of a young wom
an who is a professional detective of
plagiarism. It is her duty to read all
the short stories published in periodic
als and make a mental 'abstract of
them. 'Her usefulness consists in tell
ing publishers when manuscripts sub
mitted to them have been too obviously
suggested by existing literature. She
is well paid, it is said, but what could
atone for having one's mind stored per
manently and exclusively with scraps
of modern fiction?" Kate Field's

Cheap Electric Lights.
A fortunate town is Trente, in Aus;
tria. Its electric light station is owned
by the municipality, which has the ad
vantage of a : large waterfall. The
light is furnished to private consumers
for about twenty cents a year per
candle power, and they can burn the
lamps one hour a night of twelve
hours, . just as they please, without
extra charge. So as to enable the
poor inhabitants to use the light the
town pays for the house wiring, repay
ments being made by an annual
charge. A flour mill and a spinning
mill are already supplied with current,
and great activity is looked for in the
local industries owing to its use by al
most the whole of the community.
Detroit News.
, Rubber for Leather Shoes.
There is one method of using rubber
for the protection of the feet from
dampness which seems to be without
objection, and has lately been applied
very acceptably to walking shoes. It
consists of the insertion of a single lay
er of pure rubber gum between the
outer and inner soles, affording ample
protection against moisture from that
direction. It is imperceptible in weight
or bulk, does not heat the foot or cause
it to perspire, and is of slight expense.

DEAFNESS CAN'T HE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is oulyoue
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when It Is entirely closed deafness Is
tbe result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
cenditiou, bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
wi ich is nothing but an inflamed condition ox
