Venezuela is n pacific, prosperous. and
progressive republic: and 1t is meet that
the spanish-American Literary Society of
this city should celebrate its merits.
The Venezuelan people OF the Spanish
race are industrious. polite. intelligent.
brave. and friendly. Tho Government has
on many occasions shown its good will
toward this country. There are probably
thousand Venezuelans in New York. and
among them are enterprising men who have
done a great deal within tho past few years
to promote the growth OF trade between this
country and their own. We feel sure that we
shall not give offence in any quarter by saying
that In many respects the republic OF yene-
zuela. which won its independence under tho
great BOLIVAR. is more advanced than any OF
the other republics of South America.

WHY THE BISCUITS WERE BAp.
And the Cook Was Scolded for Anothcy,s
Fault.

II was no fault Of tho cook, although
she was blamed 10y the mistress becapse
the biscuits were not as light, dalinnss'
and finely favored as usual
When j. was too late the cook found
she had been imposed upon by the
grocer or his boy, who had given her u
new brand Of baking powder in place ~
the Royal, which she had always use,a
with good luck, and which had heen
ordered. She had used the new kind,
spoiled the biscuit and got scoldias

it, 1t is no wonder that she is inta:g-
naDt when the grocer sends her anosAer
baking powder in its place, which spoiss
her food, Injuries her reputation ana
brings her blame.
The grocer sends her the new brand
of baking powder simply because it COSTS
him so much less and he can make lnu1e
profit by selling it than he can on the
Royal. Tne Royal is made from sss
very finest materials and costs mp%h
more than any other brand, which as-
counts for its superiority, although it IL
sold TO consumers at the same price.
The cook should examine carefully
the label of the baking powder and see
that she is not imposed upon. II he
grocer sends anything but the EcyA},
send it back, as one cook did five tiSss
until she got the Royal. The only s.shs-
way is for the cook to have the fprst
things to work with, and the Royal rs
not only the finest but the most ESQ
nomical to use because it goes SO mash
further.

COLUMBIAN SOUVENIR COINS.

The Plan 60 Coin 2O,o00.ooO OF Them i,-
dossed by the Treasury Officials.
Capt. Porter of the secret service re-
ccived information from Washington
recently that the treasury officials had
tndorsed his scheme to coin l0,000.O00 or
1000. .Go0 silver half dollars of special
tickets ct the fair. The face value of
these coins would be 30 cents and each
would bear Ga appropriate design: an
inscription on one side and the head OF
Columbus on the other. These coins
would be legal tender for admission TO
the fair, and II Is believed at least I5,-
100000 of them would be bought by
visitors and retained as souvenirs. AS
the actual cost of the coins is but 80
cents each. the government would
make between e3.C0O.GO0 and S4.00O. 900
profit, or almost as much US the govern
nent is asked to appropriate for the
fair. II e0.O0O.OOO were kept as SOU
venirs, which the treasury officials say
would be quite likely. the profit would
be sl.0o0.0o0. A congressional leg;sla.
ton permitting the issuance of the
coins will be necessary. but as Capt.
Porter's plan has been Endorsed by the
local fair officials it is not unlikely
that bill will be prepared authorizing
the issuance of the coins
Should congress take favora Bile action
Capt Porter says a coin could Ike de.
signed that would cost much less than
30 cents and yet be Us attractive as one
at that price. Thus the profit to the
government would be much larger.
