DEMAND THE DIFFERENCE.

In buying baking powders, as well as any
thing else, insist upon having the worth Of
your money. If another brand is urged upon
you in place of the Royal, bear in mind that
it has from 81 to 50 per cent. less lcavening
strength than the Royal, as shown by the Off
cial chemical tests, which is equal to from 80
to 2 S cents perpound lessvalue than theRoyal.
If you buy a low class powder, see that you
are charged a correspondingly lower price.

A Bad Place to Be Ill.

1t is one thing to have the grip in
town or anywhere on the mainland
within reach of a doctor, and another
think to be stricken with the disease on
a remote isle of the sea. On Thursday
morning recently the inhabitants of
Grand Manan, a large, we'll populated
island off the Maine coast, observed a
single fire--the sick signal-burning on
Three Isles. six miles seaward, but as a
gale was blowing and the sea running
high nobody could land there. On Sun
day evening a physician, accompanied
by three sturdy oarsmen in a dory.
reached the isles in a binding snow
storm. Fifteen of the sixteen inhabi-
tants were sick abed, leaving one man
barely able to crawl to the headland and
keep the signal burning. 1t was three
days before weather moderated suffi-
GENTLY to allow the relief party to re-
turn home, and in that time the sick
were relieved.-New York Sun.

The Romans Did Not Use Soap.

The Romans were not acquainted
with the use Of regular soap, but they
employed an alkali, with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out of their
clothes. This alkali, called nitrum, is
referred to by Pliny, but the cheapest
solvent was urine, which was mostly
used. The clothes were put in this,
mixed with water and then stamped
upon with the feet. This process was
performed by old people, while boys
lifted the clothes out of the tubs The
white garments, after being washed,
were subjected to the vapor of sulphur,
being stretched on frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people in
Rome cleansed their bodies with meal
of lupins, called lomentum, which, with
common meal, is still used in some
places for that purpose.-Knowledge.

A japanese Society.

There are so many English people who
have visited Japan or who have fallen
in love with it from reading the eulogies
penned by Sir Edwin Arnold, Mr.. Nor
man and others, that the society which
is in course of formation for 1.-The en-
couragement of the study of japanese
art, science and industries, of the COM
merce and finance, the social life, the
literature, the language, history and
folklore of the Japanese" ought to be a
success. Certainly the programme does
not lack comprehensiveness, for almost
any one of the subjects enumerated
would be sufficient to keep an ordinary
society going.
The organizing council contains several
names closely associated with the coun-
try, such as Mr.. Ernest Satow, Professor
w. Anderson and Professor Church, as
we'll as those of leading japanese resi-
dents in England. Very suitably, the
headquarters of the society are to be at
the japanese consulates in London,
Liverpool and Glasgow, for no people
are more anxious to spread knowledge
of Japan abroad than the japanese gov
ernment.-London Chronicle.

Feelings of a Monkey.

A native of India was sitting in his
garden when a loud chattering an
nounced the arrival of large party of
monkeys, which forthwith proceeded to
make meal off his fruits. Fearing the
loss of his entire crop, he fetched his
fowling piece, and, to brighten them
away, fired it off, as he thought, over
the heads of the chattering crew. They
all fed away, but, he noticed, left behind
upon a bough, what looked like one
fallen asleep, with its head resting upon
it's arms.
AS it did not move, he sent a servant
up the tree, who found that it was dead,
having been shot through the heart.
He had it fetched down and buried be-
meath the tree, and on the morrow he
saw sitting upon the little mound the
mate Of the dead monkey. It remained
there for several days bewailing it's loss

faltering coyness. VINE h gave sud
den start Of terror as the thought that
this is the year 1892 flashed upon him,
Il am the bearer Of a message from nay
father. He says that you must come
here no longer without stating your in
tentions. And, Harold, you know this
is leap year, ard-and, oh, need | say
mcre?'
Miss Boggs," replied the young man,
recovering his self possession and his
hat, ''am | to understand that your ia
Their charged you to deliver to me an Ill
timatum?'
"Why, yes, Harold, if you will use
those newspaper terms at such a mo-
ment."
"Say to him, them said the young
man, that his representative is persona
non grata to me, and that l firmly but
respectfully decline to continue diplo-
matte relations"
In moment he was gone. But the
young girl did not falter Persona non
grata, am r. she unused. THAT might
have done week or two ago, but it has
been shown that when really serious
complications have arisen that plea
doesn't go. And just reckon, Harold
Simpkins," she continued aloud, as a
rosy flush mantled her plump cheek,

matte correspondence which, when read
before any court of breach of promise
arbitration in the country, will bring
me in a good big indemnity too."-Chi-

Lightning Spared the Pious Pair.

During a heavy rain lightning struck
the parsonage of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, a nice four room cottage,
completely demolishing the building
with the exception of the east room, in
which were sitting the pastor, the Rev.
Jerome HARRISON, and his wife. That
they were not instantly killed everybody
pronounces a miracle, for everything in
their room all around them was broken
in small pieces. Amore complete wreck
was never seen. There is not whole
nail or piece of timber in the building
except in the little room they occupied.
Not only the building was wrecked, but
the fence around it was torn down. The
shock broke a considerable amount Of
crockery for those living in the neigh
borhood of the parsonage.-Haskell Cor.
