For Summer Cookery

Royal Baking Powder will be found the
greatest of helps. , With least labor and
trouble it makes bread, biscuit and cake of
finest flavor, light, sweet, appetizing and
assuredly digestible and wholesome.

A Blind Colony.

A Kiev daily describes an interesting
family living in the suburbs Of Pereya-
STAY. The head of the family is strong
the last twenty years, named Semen
Romsik. His wife is also blind. They
have one child, boy about years old,
and maintain the mother of Semen and
the aged father of his wife. The old
people do only the homework, while
Semen himself supports the whole
family. He chops wood, weaves baskets
and straw hats, works as a cooper, winds
ropes, and constructs ''lyres" on which
blind Russian beggars play when they
walk about begging in the streets. All
these kinds OF labor Semen performs
very skillfully, though in primitive
fashion. But he works at such trades
only in the winter months and when
orders are sent to his home. His prin
cipal occupation is training blind beg
CARS. He takes into his house blind
young fellows who wish to become pro-
te5sional beggars and teaches them how
to ply their trade" Such pupils must
engage themselves to stay with him for
two or three years and to hand over to
him all that they get by begging in the
streets during that time. He engages
young bows to lead his pupils about &C
cording to his directions, and pays them
twelve rubles a year, beside their board
and lodging. His pupils be caches pop
ular tunes and songs which blind beg
CARS recite on various occasions, the
plaintive hymns which they sing at the
gates of the church, nd also teaches
them how to play or to accompany
themselves on the beggar's Tyre. He
derives quite an income from his pu-
pills. During the day he sends them
out to beg in various directions, and
they bring him coins, bags of victuals,
old garments, towels, handkerchiefs,
and.whatever they get. What can not be
used in the establishment is given to
the old couple who keep house for him
the remaining victuals are sold as food
for cattle in the village, and the old gar
ments to rag peddlers. And none of
the peasants or peddlers who come to
buy Semen's goods can take advantage
of him, for, despite his blindness, he
knows we'll what his ware is worth.
When there is fair in town he goes
out a-begging himself, and in the holt
day seasons he makes begging trips in
suburban towns and villages. The rest
of the time he is at home instructing his
pupils and filling the orders he has for
his mechanical work.

AnthrOpom etriC.

One of the curious consequences Of
the in1allibility of the anthropometrlc
system of identification is the almost
complete diss ppearance of lnterna-
tional pickpockets from Paris, says the
Forum. Eight years ago 100 fthem were
arrested there yearly; by 1887 the
number had fallen to thirty -four; it did
not exceed a dozen during the past
year. Being satisfied that it has become
impossible for them to hide their ante

These remarks, which were made to me
in 1887 by the leader Of a gang, have
been repeated several times. After a

have been confirmed officially, notably
by M. Goron; the present chief Of the

An UngratefuI People.

Once more the poor Chinese actors
are stranded in New York. They were
stranded here a year or two ago be-
cause their ungrateful countrymen re-
fused to patronize them, when they
went to Boston to try their luck there.
A few enterprising Cinnamon there APP
preciated their acting, and knew they
we're accomplished artists in their way,
and put up the necessary means to bring
them back to the metropolis, because
they thought the ten or twelve thousand
Cinnamon in and around New York
ought to be able to support one Chinese
playhouse anyway. But it seems now
that they missed calculation, and to cap
the climax the entire wardrobe and
property of the Royal Chinese theatrical
troupe were seized few days ago by
their own interpreter, who was dis
charged some time ago for questionable
dealings The attachment was said to
be made for spite by the discharged in
terpreter and now the actors are huddled
together in the basement of their late
concert hall, No. 10 Bowery, waiting pa
tiently for a new manager with a new
Doodle.
Such lack of national pride and pa
triotism as seen in the Chinese Of New
York toward their only theater can
scarcely be found among auy other race
in the city. dare say even the Italians,
if they had a theater there, would have
better patronized it than the Chinese
did theirs. Many Cinnamon, we'll to
do, were seen begging for passes to at
tend the Chinese plays. When not get
ting them they stayed at home or
bought ticket for some other Bowery
theater rather than buy cheaper seat
TO encourage their only actors in the
East Wong, IN the San.

The Age of Decay.

Birth, growth, maturity, decay, death
such is the normal history of man.
The three periods of life should sustain
a certain proportion to each other-20
years of growth, 90 years Of maturity,
20 years of decay. This is what might
be counted upon as the ordinary course
of human life, but for the fact that we
labor under a load of physical and
moral law supplemented and intensified
by our own personal delinquencies and
follieS.
How pleasant is the picture! Twenty
years or happy childhood and youth, 6O
years of intellectual progress and
achievement, with domestic and social
joys, and then 20 years of slow, almost
unconscious decay, characterized by
serenity of mind, pleasing memories
and joyous antlcipatlons of a grander
life beyond the grave.
Sadly different is human existence as
we see it. We look with wonder upon
Gladstone, past so, still vigorous in body
and mind, still strong and wise to lead
the great Liberal party in England.
We accept three score and ten as life's
natural limit, and expect only labor
and sorrow it this limit is passed.
We are doomed, we think, by our in
heritance, and to some extent this is
true But we should remember the law
of recuperation. The torn flesh heals,
the broken bone reunites. Diseases
tend toward recovery. The weary
toiler rises from sleep strong for new
labors. The wise physician bases his
hope upon this law.
And this tendency of nature to heal
herself may be greatly assisted by care
full and intelligent living. SO that it is
always possible that the man of unfortu
nate ancestry may secure for himself a
good old age, and start his posterity
upon an ascending plane.
Do what we will, however, life must
have its end. When the age of decay is
reached hidden changes are going on
the elimination Of which is the last
great change. The muscles shrink; the
brain shrlvels; the nerves lose their
sensibility and active power; the
arteries, perhaps, becomes chalky or
fatty; the heart is weakened; the
circulation enfeebled, and at last the
end comes.
During the final period, then, we
must take things calmly; avoid excuses
of all kinds; guard against exposure to
cold; keep up a degree OF mental
activity; cultivate cheeriulness and look
forward with hope Youths Companion.
