If a baking powderis not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no can know how to use it, and uni
formy good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
sheavy and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.

Love and TOOthache.

AS all roads were said to lead to
Rome. so all sorts of paths seem TO
lead to love- Cupid uses the high
ways and by-ways, the shortcuts and
the circuitous routes, just as the
fancy seizes him. Toothache, one
would think, would not be likely to
prove an impulse to matrimoEy, but
according to a dispatch from Nor
walk, Ct, that was what prompted
the recent marriage of a couple near
that city. They had both been suay.
ing at farmhouse in the vicinity.
and the gentleman being attacked by
the tCothache jumped into a carriage
to drive to the nearest dentists. The
lady volunteered to accompany him,
probably to sooth his pain by her
presence, and her companion was so
much touched by her solicitude that
he proposed marriage on the way. AS
he was suffering so dreadfully from
the tOOthache, she thought she might
increase his pain by refusing and con-
sented promptly in order to make
him feel better. AS he was about to
lose tooth he concluded that he
ought to have at once helpmate to
compensate him for his loss and so
stopped by at a minister's and was
married before he faced the dentist.
AS soon as the ceremony was per-
formed, the tooth stopped aching,
and he found to his JOY that he had
gained wife without losing a molar.
Matrimony would thus seem to be a
cure for the sharpest of aches-possi-
bly, the cynics may say by substitute
ing a general and chronic pain for a
particular and temporary one.-Bal-
timOre Sun.

The Trump of Fame,

The dignity of the trumpet is
proved by its association with certain
famous personiflcationS Thus, one
never sees Fame, Honor, or Victory
without trumpet For that matter,
a great many mortals are never seen
without an accompaniment of the
same kind, which they blow with
might and main in order to catch the
attention OF their fellows The
trumpet in this sense is almost indis-
pensable; the bigger your trumpet,
the louder your fanfare, the greater
will he your success
Politicians, priests, authors actors,
professors, agitators, philanthropists,
all blowing their loudest in order to
blow themselves into popularity or
place or pelf or power! There are
men and women with wares to SELL
their consciences, their pens, their
talents--who, by persistent trumpet
ing, get them disposed of at their
own price. The wares may be sadly
damaged, but the loud advertisement
confuses and overcomes the buyer.
Other vendors, with better stuff to
sell, get never bid because they can
not handle their trumpets or are too

LOng-Period Clocks.

Herr Noll, mechanician of Ber-
langen, Germany, has constructed a
clock warranted to run for 9,OOOyears
without winding. Mr. d. L. Gof, in
this country, has in his hail an old
fashioned clock which, so long as the
house is occupied. never runs down.
Whenever the front door is opened or
closed the winding arrangements Of
the clock, which are connected with
the door by rod with gearing at
tachments, are given a turn, so that
persons entering or leaving the house
keep the clock constantly wound up

power Of which, he alleges, is the
gravitation Of the earth. which keeps
the clock running forever without
winding. This clock consists of a
plate glass dial suspended from the
ceiling. and all the parts of 1t that
are visible are the two hands the
pivot on which they swing and the
dial. In 1910 Mr.. J. Smith, Leeds,
England, constructed a clock, the
sole motor of which was electricity.

A High Atmosphere.

Beyond 90, 900 feet above sea leve.,
the hight reached by Glaisher in
1862, man has never been able to
navigate the air. Various problems
concerning the region farther away
such as temperature, the pressure,
the quantity OF moisture, the compo-
sition of the air, etc. have attracted
the attention of physicists, and have
at last led to the experiments OF NJ.
Hermite. who. during the last few
months, has been sending up pilot
balloons, carrying registering appar-
atus. These balloons are very light,
with capacity of about 100 to 200
cubic feet. Falling at a distance
from Paris ranging up to 200 miles,
the balloons have nearly all been re-
turned by their finders as requested
on card attached to each, and one
has brought down records from q
height of $4,000 feet The instru-
ments used are very light and simple.
With larger balloons and systematic
exploration. it is hoped that the &C.
crets of the air up to at least 40, 900
feet may be made as familiar to US a

A Trick That Did Not Win.

A curious law case has been heard
In Berlin. In the year 1891, in Rus,
sian-Poland, quantity of placards
were placed on the walls inviting the
people to emigrate to Brazil, saying
that "a Polish kingdom would be
founded, and that if they went ia
Bremen, they would be forwarded
acre IS the ocean. An immense mum.
Der OF emigranJs tnereupon travelled
to Bremen, only to learn that thev
could have no free passage. Having
no means of returning to Poland they
soon spent their last penny in the
Bremen inns. When the Poor Board
found that they were paupers and
likely to become a burden on the
community a drastic measure was
taken. A railway train was prepared
and the Poles were told that it
would take them straight to Brazil.
About a thousand of them entered it
and were speedily taken to Berlin. In
that city the wretched wanderers
naturally found their way to the pub
lie refugees ana the Berlin Poor Board
was obliged to take care of them and
feed them until they could be dis.
patched gradually to their several
homes. The Berlin Poor Board then
sued to recover expenses from the
Bremen Poor Board, and the courts
have just decided that the latter
must pay up The railway trick does
not seem quite so smart now as it did
little while ago.

narrated to his people who had never
been Oft the reservation, and who had
never seen anything but a one-story
house, the sights and incidents of his
trip. He told them about the iron
horse that carried him away and
brought him back. They could un-
derstand all about that. It was
white mans medicine. He told them
about talking wires (telegraph). They
understand that also, 1t was white
mans magic He told them about
the high buildings at Washington,
five and six stories high. This was
too much. They could stand talking
wires and iron horses, but six teepees
built on top of each other was too
foolish for belief. 'Young- Man"
was great liar and would have to
take it back. "Young-Man how.
ever, insisted on it, and they could
not doubt his sincerity. The heresy

hand agreed that the whites had

drink which had bewitched him.
