on necessary duty, We're permitted to
sleep. When night came again we dis
covered the cause of their apathy. We
plainly heard them clearing away the
small trees on the plateau and using
the spade. and knew that they were 60
ing to plant artillery to use against US.
The artillery branch of the Ameers
service was very weak, the guns being
of light caliber and the ammunition
generally poor, but no one could doubt
that if a gun or two was brought to
bear on us, and the enemy would keep
pegging away, the shot and shell would
in time effect a breach.
We had above six thousand rounds of
cartridges, as our slaughtered COM
rades had left three-quarters of their
store behind them. and the sergeant
ordered us to man the ten portfolios on
that side and keep up a steady fire on
the plateau. 1t was firing at random
in the darkness, but we doubtless
knocked some of them over. and quite
certainly delayed the work. When
morning came we could see that
they had cleared the ground and begun
to throw up a small fort to hold the
guns. Our fire had driven them off
During the day they made bullet-proof
screens of boughs ard mats, and paid
us but little attention. When night
fell they set up their screens and
worked behind them, and though our
fire might have inflicted some slight
loss. it did not prevent them from get

No one knows whether the umbrella
was originally used as a defense against
rain or a screen from the sun, but 1t
seems probable that the first umbrellas
were sunshades. In countries where
very little clothing is worn rain does
not make much difference, but the sun
is a power. Why shouldn't the palm
leaf be the first sunshade, with its ribs
and handles to order9 1t hints at the
umbrella as well as the fan.
Travellers among the Amos of Japan
often make temporary sunshades OF
gigantic dock leaves, which are some
times six feet high, large enough for an
account of Gulliver. The umbrella
has very great antiquity. The word
itself means little shadow" showing
that it was named for its protection
from the sun in this case. Horace says,
Among the military standards the sun
beholds an Egyptian canopy. Irish

Styling public dinner banquet"
Is something of mistake; that is, If
the use of the word banquet" is to add
more dignity to the occasion, or even
to be more uppish or bumptious or
''toplofty." Banquet, from the
French and Spanish, means small
bench, little seat, and when spelled
banqueta means three legged stool
1t has reference to sitting while eating,
instead of taking refreshment In stand
up" fashion, as at one of our Wistar
parties or at free lunch counter. The
truth is that banquet" is simply a
grandiose expression-ambitious and
somewhat affected" - Philadelphia

BAKING Pow DERS.
What the Minnesota State Authorities
Know About Them.
The society then adjourned.

If there is doubt in anybody's
mind as to the quality of the various
baking powders of the market, it
will be settled by the evidence given
upon the subject by the state officials
of Minnesota. The Dairy and Food
Commission and the state chemist
are the highest official authorities
upon such subjects in this state, and
their evidence will lie accepted as
disinterested and unprejudiced. 1t
is their business to examine the
quality of the different food pro-
ducts. and to suppress the sale of
those found impure and unwhole-
some, and all will admit that they
have performed their duties without
fear or favor.
At a recent examination by a
legislative committee to determine
the qualities of the various baking
powders sold in Minnesota by State
Chemist and analysist to the Food
and Dairy Commissioner, DIR. Ben
jamin F. Drew, gave the following
evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, L see by the re-
poit of the Dairy and Food Conn
mission of the state thst in making
analysis of the various baking
powders of this country you report
as result of your work that lhe
Royal Baking Powder contains and
gives off in baking a greater per
cent. of carbonic acid gas (leavening
gas) than any other baking powder
made, is that true?
Ans.-Yes, sir, that is fact.
Ques.- Doctor, you also found
from experiment that the Royal
Baking Powder will keep longer
and retain its qualities better than
any other powder made, did you
not?
Ans.-Yes, sir, think it does.
Ques.-Now, the two most de-
siri,ble qualities IN baking powder
are the amount Of carhonic acid gas
it contains and gives of and the
length of time it will keep, are they
not?
.Ans.-Yes, sir.
Ques.-Then the Royal Baking
Powder, possessing these qualities,
is the best powder made, is 1t not?
Ans.-Well, that would be the ma
tural conclusion.
Ques. Well, that is the fact, is 1t
not?
Ans.-Yes, l think it is. | con-
slider it one of the best baking
powders made.
