A NOBLE RAKE.
The Costly Escapades of the Notorious Earl
of Ailesbury.

The Costly Escapades of the Notorious Earl
of Ailesbury.
The application of the Earl of Ailesbury for
leave to sell his estate, which, according to the
dispatches to yesterdays STAR, was denied, re-
wives again the many stories that are told Of
this notorious peers escapades, and brief re-
sumo may not be uninteresting to newspaper
readers The titles held by the noble earl are
many and include those OF Earl of Cardigan,
Earl Bruce. Baron Brudenell and Baronet and
Marquis of Ailesbury.
In 1884 he married q burlesque actress and
dancer Of not very savory reputation named
Dorothy Julia Hasely, but who was more
Familiarity known to the habitues Of concert
halls and other places of that character as
Dolly Tester. The earl had been interested
in the English turf, but in 1887 he was ruled of
the British race courses for life by the Jockey
club for having one of his horses pulled in the
race for the Hardwood plate at York. In man
ners and dress the noble earl affects the style
of the London costermonger, and it is q very
evident matter of fact that he possesses none
of the attributes Of a gentleman.
In 1889 he was prominently before the public
through q row in which he became involved at
the Grange races, whithsr he had gone in

A Family Shave.

exactly alike that no one but their closest
friends can tell which is which. One day they
happened to be in q strange town and all
wanted a shave. One Of them went into bar
Der shop, was shaved and paid the customary
10 cents. Five minutes later apparently the
same man came back into the shop, very
wrathy, his beard bristling with three days

over. 49,. - $50 > -

his man returned the fourth time ii was too

Butterflies That Battle.

From the Victoria Naturalist
1t is commonly thought that butterfly
breads the water as u fine lady breads rain, but
evidently this is not true in Australia. The
case OF an Australian butterfly deliberately
entering the water to take q bath is recorded
by NJ. g. Lyell, jr. He saw it alight close to
the water, into which it backed until the whole
OF the body and the lower part Of the hind legs
were submerged, the two forelegs alone rotain-
ing their hold on the dry land. After remain
ing in this position for something like half
minute, it flew away, apparently refreshed.
Mr.. Lyen says: "During the morning noticed
a number doing the same thing. In one in
stance no less than four were to be seen within
a space OF not more than three yards and, to
make sure that l was not deceived, captured
several as they rose from the water and found
in each case the body and lower edge Of the
hind wings quite wet. While in the water the
iuttering of the wings, SO noticeable at other
times, was suspended, and SO intent were the
butterflies in the enjoyment OF the cold bath
that they could hardly move, even when actu-
ally touched by the net Apparently the heat
of the weather drove them down to the water.
as Immediately upon emerging they few up
again to the hillsides. Butterflies are often
seen apparently sucking in the moisture around
the edge of the pools; but they have never be-
fore been seen actually to enter the water"

A Baking Powder that can be depended

siderst1m in these days Of adulterafed food
So far as can be judged from the Official re
ports, the Royal seems to be the only one
yet found BY chemical analyses to be entire
ly without either Of these substances, and
absolutely pure. This, il is shown, result.
from the exclusive use BY its manufacturer
of cream Of tartar specially refined and pre-
pared BY patent processes which totally re-
move tartraie Of lime and other impurities.
The cost of this chemically pure cream Of
tartar is much greater than any other, and
il is used in no baking powder except the

troll the patents under which 1t is refined.
DR.. Edward G. Love. formerly analytical
chemist for the q. s. Government, who made
the analyses for the New York State Board
Of Health in their investigation Of baking
powders. and whose intimate knowledge of
all those sold in this market enables him to
speak authoritatiyely, says Of the purity,

81 find the Royal Baking Powder COM
posed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
It is a cream Of tartar powder, and does no
contain either alum or phosphates, or other
Injurious substance.
Prof Loves tests, and the recent official
tests by both the United States and Canda-
dian Governments, show the Royal Baking
Powder to be superior to all others in its
strength and leayening power. 1t is not
only the most economical in use, but makes
the purest, the best favored. and the most
wholesome food.

A Thrilling Accident.
rom Johnstown Herald SATURDAY..

from JOnnslONn heraiu SATURDAY.
Yesterday afternoon a cattle dealer OF
HOoyersyille, named Horne, was driving q
lot of cattle to this city when thrilling Incl
dent happened near the Red Bridge, about
four miles south Of this city. In the drove
were several large steers, one Of which was
very violent and created great deal OF
trouble on the way.
At this point the cattle were allowed to
go to the river 20 get drink, when a lad
about fifteen years Of age, who was helping
to drive them, was sent to bring them out
As he approached the drove the large steer
wen; for him and forced him to run in the
water, where the animal followed him
Hereit overlook the boy and caught him on
its horns, lifting him high in the air.
The animal was now thoroughly infuristed
and il seemed certain that the lad would
lose his life He was thrown into the water
by the savage beast and completely sub
merged, and tossed About in every manner.
The lad was helpless, but during this time
others of the party attacked the animal, di-
verting its attention, when the boy was as
sisted TO escape. Notwithstanding his peril
Gus position it was found that, beyond a
thorough fright, the boy was not seriously
hurt. The steer was penned up and win be
killed before il can do any more damage.
