New YORK, November 25.-The
Worlds Washington special contains
the account of one who recently ell
countered Captain Howgaie on the
great Kenawha river. on packet
boat. Captain Howgate spoke with
some freedom ofhis personal matters.
His escape and wanderings have been
TRANQUILITY chronicled in n diary. The
story is romantic aud includes thous-
ands of miles of travel by land and
water. He must have travelled the
greater part of the time, although he
lived for some months in quiet SUI
burban town near New York city and
at another period was settled In south
west Missouri, where he was engaged
in some sort of mineral speCu'aiions
which turned out unfortunately. This
interesting diary shows notes of Cal
ifornis. Oregon, Washington Terri
tory, Texas aud Mexico. Howga c
said he was tired of wandering and
wanted his case settled in some way,
and soon. There is little doubt that
ifhe were assured of leniency and a
speedy tria, he would be willing TO
surrender aud take the chances of a
light punishment. His total defalca-
ton amounts TO about $4,000, His

lately been attached, was found TO be

CLEVELAND, o., November 25.--At
Delaware, o., yesterday, Mrs. William
Dunlap, who had formerly moved In
good society and was member of
leading church, was sent to jail for
sixty days to subsist on bread and
water, and fined 800 for cruelty to
her step-children. The story of her
cruelty as brought out at the trial is
most shocking. A few days since she
covered the body of one of the chill
dren. little girl. with soft soap snd
then pumped cold water on the little
one and scrubbed her with a broom.
The other child, boy, bad been sus-
pended in deep well by q rope.
Other cruelties were clearly proven
by the humane society in the prosecu-
ton. The woman was followed to
the Jail by crowd Of 800 people WI no

The practical tests by nnumerable housekeepers have
established the fact that the Royal Baking Powders always
reliable and fails to make light sweet and paatable
bread
The numerous tests by scientific bodies and eminent
chemists have thoroughly and repeatedly demonstrated
the absolute purity supeatve eavenng power and perfect
whoesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder that these facts
no longer questioned by any one
Further tests have been made by Government Chem
lists Mott Love- and others to determine the difference in
strength between various baking powders when fresh and
when few weeks old.
A baking powder may have large amount of raising
power and produce light bread when first made but if it
does not retain its strength until wanted for worth
less and the result of its heavy ndigestibe
unwhoesome food As the housekeeper has means of
knowing when buying baking powder from the shelf of the
grocer how long it has been made these tests will be
most valuable in protecting her from the multitude OF
baking powder swindles of the present day:

Value of Screen Trees

Daniel Webster greatly improved
his farm at Marshfeld by planting
screen Of trees, mostly evergreens,
about ten feet in width, on the north
and western sides Of the fields. The
operation o; screen plantations, OBJ
served Marshall, Is not merely that OF
giving shelter to the animals lodging
beneath them. but likewise in braking
the uniform current Of wind, snatter-
ing the cutting blast and throwing
them into eddies, thus meliorating the
air to some distance from them. Llv-
ing trees communicate 4 degree Of
actual warmth to the air that envelops
them. Where there IS life there IS
warmth. not only in animal but IN
vegetable nature. The severest nosts
rarely affects the sap Of trees Hence
II appears that trees and shrubs prop
erly disposed in bleak situation tend
to improve the lands so situated in a
three-fold way, Tor the purpose of ag-
uculture, namely, by giving shelter to
stock, By breaking the currents of
winds and by communicating a degree
Of warmth, or sottnesS, to the air IN
calmer weather.
Nor ought il to be altogether kept
out of view, that the retaining and ju-
diciously arranging a portion OF grow
ing timber on a farm confers a rich-
ness and picturesque beauty on the
landscape. We have seen some lands
on which nothing was sought for but
profit and shelter, where the gratest
beauty was produced by adopting thi:
system. Where, however, trees tol
shade may be requisite for agriculture
purposes, should be sufficiently oper
to admit a free circulation of air. For
this purpose, trees with lofty stems anC
large heads, pruned to a single stem
are preferable. To shelter live stock
the screen should be open at the bot
tom; otherwise it is injurious rathe
than beneficial The blast does no
only requires additional current, bu
snow is liable to be blown through ant
to be lodged IN drifts on the leewart
side, to the annoyance and danger Q

. Latest Sly lie Bracelets.
From the jewelers. Circular

jim t4C cS ~ > CllN
The bracelets worn to day are in
remarkable contrast with the old-fash-
toned chain manacles and stiff broad
bands of former times. The latter
were valued chiefly according to size
and weight, while the present styles
include only such as are delicate and
dainty in construction and of artistic
construction and finish. Numbered
with new things, attracting deserved
attention, and promising to have long
run, are elastic reversible gold
bracelets. These bracelets are
composed of little box-shaped sections
strung together On a gold wire spring,
and SO arranged that the bracelet can
be slipped over the hand with perfect
ease. and yet adjust itself closely to
the arm when in place. By this ar
rangement, troublesome fastenings are
entirely dispensed with, and there IS
not the slightest danger of losing the
bracelet from the arm. In addition to
the merits of lexibilitY and elasticity is
the fact that these bracelets are rever-
sible. They are equally well finlsf ed
on both sides, and show two distinct
styles offnlsh, affoiding two bracelets
in one. For instance, the block pat
tern sections on one side may present
the "crackle" or ozark" finish, and on
the other a plan or etched surface !;
or again, gems may appear on one
side for evening wear, and a plain
surface on the other for less ceremon-
ious occasions. The bracelets are as
readily turned as are strand of beads
on rubber cord, with the advantage
of durable gold wire coil in place of
destructible rubber.
