THE SHAM AND THE REAL.

Every good thing has its host of imi.
tators; every genuine article its counter.
feits. Bad manners and bad habits have
theirs also; but he who shams the bad
never boasts of it, while they who ape the
virtues of the good or simulate the gen
uine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their
most alluring tones. When these people
initiate they always choose a pronounced
type or popular subject to copy from
and when they claim TO be as good as so
and-So," or to sell an article equal to $50
and-So," the public may depend upon it
that Mr.. "So-and-So" and his article are
always the best of the kind. Thus the
sham is always proving the genuine
merit of the thing it copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen pro-
duce and popularize an article of house
hold use, such as the Royal Baking Pow
der, whose convenience, usefulness and
real merit make for itself
an immense and universal sale.
A hundred imitators arise on every
hand, and as they hold out their sham
articles to the public, yelp in chorus
BUY this; it's just as good as Royal, and
much cheaperw The Royal Baking Pow
der is the standard the world over, and its
imitators, in their cry that theirs is "as
good as Royal" are all the time empha-
sizing this fact. In their laborious at
tempts to show by analysis and other
wise that the Snowfall" brand has as
much raising power las the Royal" or
that the Resurrection" powder is as
wholesome "as Royal" or that the
Earthquake" brand is "as pure as
The Royal" as well as by their contortive
twistings of chemical certificates, and
abored efforts to obtain recognition from
The government chemists and prominent
scientists who have certified to the super
lority of Royal over all others, they all ad-
NIT the Royal" to be the acme of per-
lection, which it is their highest ambition
% initiate. But the difference between
he real and these limitations, which copy
'nly its general appearance, is as wide as
hat between the paste and the true dia-
nond. The shams all pay homage to the

pat h from Minister George H. Pendeton in

A Washington special says: "a gentleman
who has talked with Secretary Bayard with
in a day or two says that he is as much in
terested in the fishery question as either of
the Maine senators can be, and that he has
great regard for he fishermen. He expresses
himself very forcibly as to the conduct of tho

as an American, and not from party stand
point. and says that there is no politics in it;
that the action of the department cannot yet
be made public, Tut that he can assure any
congressional friend of the fishermen
that everything that is possible is being done
TO project their interests. With regard to

there to smoke, he aid that he had instructed

ton would weaken the Uni.e States and
strengthen C4nad,. He hoped also that the
