Expeditious but Rather Irving.

An Hibernian, fresh from the green
isle, having sufficient means to PRO-
vide himself with a horse and cart
(the later kind probably he never saw
before) went to work on a public
road. Being directed by the overseer
to move a lot Of stones near by and
deposit them in gully on the other
side Of the road, he forthwith loaded
his cart, drove up to the place. and
had nearly finished the swing of his
load by hand. when the "boss' told
him that was not the wayne must
tilt or dump his load at once. Paddy
replied that he would know better
next time After loading again. he
drove to the chasm, put his shoulder
to the wheel, and upset the cart,
horse, and all into the gully. Scratch.
ing his head, and hooking rattle,
doubtful at his horse below him, he
observed. ''Bedad. it's a mighty ex.
peditious way, but it must be tryin'

These are Fats
Housekeepery Should Seriously Consider:

knowledge and skill attained by over quarter of
century's experience is available in its present
preparation. The consumer is not experimental
upon by change of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get
mixture that will not cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes of propnetorshiI or manu-
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; a teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday,
or last week or month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in can of Royal is
as good the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced
against the receipt into the works of impure in
gedient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combina-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder so
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which 60 to make the
perfect Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been great many
limitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost.
The great popularity and general use of the
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

China VIII Retaliate.

A Chinese newspaper published in
San Francisco printed lately what
was said to be instructions from the
Chinese Government to it's counsuls
in this country. In regard to the
Geary law which compels every
Chinaman in the country to register
within a year or go to jail and be ex-
PEELED from the country, these in
structions say that China is wealthy
and could easily cope with America
in war, but that she will not do that
but use other means Of retaliation.
The article goes on to state that if
the Chinese be compelled to register
ia this country. American residents
in China will also be compelled to
register there and wear tags on
penalty OF Imprisonment and ex-
pulsion. China will also impose =
heavy duty on American flour aud

Hyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why Z" Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal its sale greater in this
country than the sale of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, so that none
of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may he eaten hot
and fresh with impumity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor of its business ever since is still at
the head Of its management. Thus all the

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

00co Building 1Eprovemenes-A Han
arsd Miles, OF Electric Road to BE
Bails-ss:ll!:. Franchises.
81. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec s4.-Every new
office building that rises with its ten
md twelve stories in st. Louis has an
Improvement on the one built the
month before, that shows what inven-
ton is doing for the convenience of the
business man. Rapid and intelligent
elevator service is the one thing needed
In these big edifces At present, IN
most Of them, this is very irregular.
You may ring the bell. wanting to &c
down, and along comes an elevator
going up You have to wait till it
comes back. The newest idea is
double bell on each floor, one Of them
marked, up and the other down"
You ring the bell that shows what you
want, and the elevator going your way
comes to your floor and stops. Tie
elevators that run continuously up and
down without bells are being aban-
doned, as there is too much waste of
power with them.
If the Assem- bly, passes the street
railway bills now before 1t. over hun
dred miles of electric roads will be
added before next fall to those now
running in the city. There are men in
the city who, taking advantage of this
intention of the railway builders to
extend their lines into every nook and
corner of the city, are making fortunes
by keeping their eyes open and invest
ing small sums of money judiciously.
There are some of these men at every
meeting of the Assembly. When an
application for new franchise Is
made, they take note of the route.
The next day they drive along the pro-
jected line looking for vacant lots.
Then they see the owner and offer to
pay his taxes in exchange for years
option. In most cases he is glad to
get the offer and closes with it at once.
The other man pays the taxes and
watches the railroad bill. Ten to one
he closes the option before the year is
out, and makes thousand per cent
OF the investment, as the property
jumps up at the approach OF the new
road. A business of this kind could
not be carried on at all in city grow
ing less rapidly than St Louis is.
There are thousands of people all
over the United States who have pleas
ant memories of visits to the great
woodland resort of st. Louis, Forest
Park. They have walked through it
by the footpaths, or driven along its
Beautiful drives, and have marveled at
its scenery, its geological collection
and its botanical garden. All these
tourists will doubtless be interested in
knowing that in a year or less there
will be belt line of electric railway
running around the park and connect
ing with the city lines SO that visitors
may see the park from every side and
return to their hotels without leaving
their seats. At certain points on the
line it will be possible to leave the
cars and, by a walk of few hundred
yards, reach the lakes with their boats
and music, the tennis courts and the
haunt of the wheelmen at the summit
Of a lung-testing hill. The franchise
for this road is to be sold at auction,
and as it is certain to be largely pat
ronized the price will be big one.
