Pastry Without Butter.

The American pie has been subjected to
more unjust abuse from foreign writer's
than any other of our distinctive products,
if we except the recent TRADE against the
American hog. And yet we cannot say
that it has been altogether undeserved,
because of the yillainous compound,
thick, hard and heavy, that is too often
made to do duty as 'crust," and which
by courtesy is called ''pastry." Light,
tender, tlaky, and digestible pie-crust and
all kinds OF pastry can be made most
readily by the use of Royal Baking Pow
der without any butter, or with half the
usual portion, if preferred, or with a small
quantity of lard or other shortening as de-
sired. Pie-crust thus made is much more
wholesome and digestible, besides being
more economical and easier prepared. In
addition to saving all the butter if desired.
one-third the flour is also dispensed with,
as the crust is rolled that much thinner,
the leayening qualities of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder swelling it to the requisite
thickness. If drippings or lard be used
the Royal Baking Powder removes any
unpleasant taste, rendering the crust as
short, sweet and pleasant as if made from
the finest butter. Those who know the
appetizing qualities of the genuine home
made American pie will rejoice that by
the aid Of Royal Baking Powder in the
pastry, it can be made quite as digestible
as it is delicious,

A SNAKE STORY.
Opening of the Season for Gigantic
Publications.

Opening of the Season for Gigantic
Publications.
Talking about snakes food, says a cor
respondent of the Baltimore American, l
once heard story told me by a Spanish
teacher, living in this city, which takes
the cake. He said that one day, while
hunting in Brazil, his guide came rushing
back and told the party to be careful, for
in front of them was a snake 60 feet in
length. The snake had Just finished eat
ing deer, but had been unable to swal-
low the horns, and they were still stick
ing out of the snakes mouth. The gentle
man said it was a common thing in
South America for snakes to eat deer,
and, when the antlers refused to go down
into the stomach, the snake would go and
lie in the sun and let the acid from its
stomach work on the horns and dissolve
them. This monster snake was very like
ly performing this act when the hunt
ing party came on him. They advanced
cautiously and were about to fire, when
the snake sprang forward and struck the
guide in the breast with the stag's horns
and crushed him into Jelly. Before the
snake could repeat this playful little pas
time bullet from one of the guns of the
party killed him. He was coiled up and
carried by the party to the nearest town
and shipped to Rio, where he is still on
exhibition; the antlers are yet in his
mouth, so the Spanish teacher told me.

CoIorado,s First Vote

san francisco (CGJ.) Bulletin.
The Constitutional Convention of Colo
RADIO had completed its labors; the Com
mlttee of Revision, whose Chairman.
Judge wells, one OF the recent Territorial
Judges, noted for not only his higb legal
attainments, but also for his elegant phra-
seology and literary accomplishments,
mad made the final report, which was
adopted; all that remained was the sign
ing OF the instrument. The convention
took recess to ALLOW time to have the
constitution written out on parchment,
Some OF the members were lettering in the
ante-rO0m OF the large hall in which the
convention held its session when all of a
sudden one OF the members spoke up and
said: eve have forgotten something. We
nave made no provision for Colorado to
east its vote at the approaching Presiden-
tial election" Thatcher replied, "That
IS 50, and we must at once arrange it.
Tell the Sergeant-at-Arms to 20 for the
PRESIDENT and all the absent members and
have the convention Immediately reas-
sembled." This was done and a clause
inserted In the constitution authorizing
the Legislature. of Colorado at its first
session to elect Presidential electors. The
Legislature met on the LIST of November.
and on the It'll day of that month met in
Joint convention and elected three Repub-
llcan Presidential electors, who duly cast
their votes in the electoral college for
Hayes and Wheeler. There could be no
provision made in time for the people at
large to vote for the Presidential electors.
as they would have to do this by the pre-
liminary action of the State Legislature
IN general election law, which, Of course,
could not be passed and placed in opera
ton within the two days intervening be-
tween its meeting and the Presidential
election. Colorado has, of course, since
adopted the mode of the other States in
this matter. Its first Presidential vote
was to meet the emergency. Had it not
been for an accidental remark the con-
vention would have adjourned without
making needed provision. There would
have been no need for the electoral COM
mission, as, without the vote of Colorado,
there could have been no disagreement on
the subject of who was elected President.
Illden would have been, under the cir
cumstances, unquestiOnably President Of
the United States. 1t is another incident
showing how great events are frequently
shaped by accidental circumstances.

burnt offerings for ancestors always going
on. Many priests were performing some
kind of ceremony over devOtees, who bent
their heads to the ground; the priest
covered the low, bent head with his skirt,
muttered prayers or charms with open
eyes, in a perfunctory way, received his
cOppers and passed quickly on to the next.
At various points boys were ringing little
bells, apparently to attract the people to
some priest prepared to do something for
them. 4 very large number of sacred
cows were led about, highly decorated
with mystical symbols and chains of coins,
or limitations of them. besides ribands
about their horns. Those who led these
little slate-cOlored animals expected pice,
which were given, however, chiefly to
those who led about COWS that exhibited
some defOrmity. The number of these
was large enough to be ZOOlOgically inter-
esting. The mOnstrosities consisted of
little legs or tails coming out of the ami
mails forehead, shoulder or rump. These
eXcrescences were handled freely by
everybody, several of them by myself, and
there could be no doubt of their genuine
ness. Goethe said, mature reveals her
secrets in monsters" but the Hindu no.
ton is that the secret of some god is con-
tanned in each mOnstrOsity. 1t must be
on this principle that they worship their
fierce prosecutor, Gen. Nicholson, who
fell in the siege Of Delhi, and elsewhere
an Englishman who killed his wife
and drank himself to death. A
certain reverence seemed TO be here
paid to human defOrmities, some of these
being frightful enough. The sufferers dis
played their "lOsses" as proudly as Dog
berry. Very amazing was female yogi,
quite naked. writing on the ground and
filling the air with her rawlings. She was
said to be possessed" and received pice
therefor. Not far from this was tent, in
which a little Nautch dancer was per-
forming IN pantOmime some divine fable.
l observed at various places group of
two little boys, with painted faces and
decorated pastebOaFd hats, each holding
bow and arrow. They were mOtionless
and l could not understand the meaning
of this recurring wayside tableau, but
suspect it is the last diminutive outcome
of Rama and Lackshamana. At another
point a man was telling a gaping circle
something mysterious about yelled wO-
man who sat near him. The most pathetic
sight perhaps was that of a London mis-
siOnary in his tent, contending single
handed against a circle of acute and, in
their way, learned Brahmins.

The Agricultural Repartee of Col. Davis.

In Pennsylvania a good story is told
concerning Col. Elisha w. Davis, the last
Speaker of the Colorado House of Repre-
sentatiyes, and now agent for the Utes,
at Ouray Agency, in Utah. 1t was many
years ago, before the govt and other in
frmitles had made inroads on Davis
magnificent physique, and when he was
i'll the prime of life, and without an equal
at ready repartee, that he was nominated
for the Pennsylvania Legislature in We
mango county. He agreed with his oppo-
nent to make joint campaign, after the
manner of the famous Lincoln Douglass
contest in Illinois. At one of the hastings
there was assembled a purely agricultural
audience. The Democratic candidate had
the platform for the opening speech, and
Davis was minglIng with the crowd. The
Democrat Informed his audience that he
was farmers son, that he had been born
and reared on farm, and that in thought
and every sympathy he was with them,
and, as if to clinch his argument, he said |:
''No industry can claim my attention like
yours; | am of you; was born on the
farm, aye, might say, almost between
two rows of corn" As the speaker re-
tired, instead of the applause that he eX-
pected, he heard the clear voice of Davis
ringing out, ga pumpkin, by Davis
had no need of further reply,
