The "UniOn of Hearts,"

A correspondent writes to the Scots
man The following facts are illustra-
tive of the feeling which Irish Home
Rulers entertain towards this country:
On a lonely farm in the parish of Fala
and Soutra, on Saturday night, one of
party of Irishmen employed there tenn
porarily got hold of a weekly newspaper
describing the naval manmuvers in
Tough Swilly. He came to he conclu-
sion that a naval force from America
was here engaged in putting down The
hated Saxon. He and his mates asked
their wages there and then, in order that
they might go home and join the Amer
leans. The farmer explained the nature
of the naval operations, but they did not
believe HIM. One of them, however.
promised to write home for accurate in
and the party consented to
at their work until an answer
had been received from Ireland

For quick raising, the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all other leavening agents. 1t is alb
sOlutely pure and who lesOme and of the highest
leavening power. 1t is always uniform in
strength and quality and never fails to make
light, sweet, most palatable and nutritive food.
Bread. biscuits, mullins, cake, etc, raised with
Royal Baking Powder may be eaten hot without
distressing results to the most delicate digestive
organs. 1t Will keep in any climate without
deterioration.
Prof. H. A. Mott, U. s. Government Chemist,
after examining officially the principal baking
powders of the country, reported:
''The ROYAL Baking Powder is absolutely pure.
for L have so found itin many tests made both
for that company and the United States Govern
ment.
Because of the facilities that company have
for Obta ming perfectly pure cream of tartar, and
for other reasons dependent upon the proper
proportions of the same, and the method of its
preparation, the Royal Baking Powder is
dOubtedly the purest and most reliable baking
powder offered to the public.

Slow to Laughter.

Mr.. Chauncey Depew was talking
awhile ago with some New York friends,
and the conversation turned upon the
density of Englishmen in the matter of
humor Said Mr.. Depew, "Some years
ago had to make an after-dinner speech
at'the country home of a genial and
wealthy Englishman who lived hun
bred miles or so from London. l began
by apolOgizing for my lack of prepara-
ton on the ground that the man who
usually wrote my extemporaneous
speeches had failed to put in an appear
ance. Nobody smiled. | tried again,
and that attempt was no more successful
than the first. In fact, every effort
made to interest and convulse the gem
tlemen gathered about that banquet
table seemed to plunge them into deeper
and more profound gloom, and / finally
sat down, convinced that | was a
CHASTITY and grueSOme failure. [ went
over to Paris and travelled about the con-
tinent for several weeks. Then | re-
turned to London and was walking up
Regent street, when | met the English
man who had been my entertainer in
the country. He came up to me
with a burst of laughter. AS he
grasped my hands in his the tears al
most ran down his cheeks he was laugh
ing so hard lie exclaimed, My boy,
that was a capital joke of yours about
your extemporaneous speech at my ban
quet Ha, ha, ha! l came all the wav
up to town to have a laugh with you
about it. And he did laugh. Finally
said to him, That was very kind of you.
You must have come up by the slow ex-
press He looked at me with an express
sion of deep amazement, and didn't
h hn q
time he came to me, again laughing all
over, and reared, BY jove, Depew. that
was a witty thing you said to me the
other day. The slow express Ha. ha,

" And that" continued Mr.. Depew,
goes to show that Englishmen really
appreciate humor, though they are apt
to be in the rear of the procession"
