THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Koyal Baking Powder Has All the Honors
In Strength and Value 20 Fer Cent
Abovs Its Nearest Compositions.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viabls record Of having received the highest
nwarI for articles of its class-greatest
strength. purest ing redients. most perfectly
combined --whe ever exhibited in compci-
tion with others. In tho exhibitions of for.
mer ysnrs. at the Centennial. at Paris
Vienna and the various state and ind dnstrial
fairs, whore II has been exhibited. judges
have invariably awarded the Royal baking
Powder the highest hnnors.
At tho recent World's fair tho examina-
items for the baking powder awa'ds were
made BY the exrerts OF the chemical di-
vision of the agricultural department at
Warrington. The official report Of tho test
Of the baking powders. which was made by
rose Of ,ascsrtainina .whioh was the
best, and which has been mnde ublic
shows the lenvening strength of the Royal
to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gus psr
ounce of powder. OF ths cream Of tartar
baking powders exhibited. tho next highest
in strength thus tested contained but 1873
cubic inches Of lcavenin1 gas. Tho othsr
powders gave an average Of Ill. The hoyai,
therefore. was found of 20 per cent greater
lcavennR strength than its nearest COM
petItof, and ~ per cent above the average
OF all the other tests. It's snperio ity in
other RESPECTS, however, in the quality OF

and wholesomenes', COZ NOT be measured
by figures.
II is these high qualities, known aud ap-
preciated by the women OF the country for
80 manv years. that have caused the sales
Of the Royal Baking Powder, rs shown BY
statistics. TO exceed the sale OF all other

his Thumb weighs a pou,a.

A Harlem young lady religiously in
clined, applied for a class in Sunday
school a few weeks ago, and the superin-
tendent promptly placed her in charge oil
that doubtful honor--the Infant Glass.
The new teacher went on pretty well
until she ventured on the thin ice known
as general questioning"
Now Children" she said, with that ex-
tremeiy vivacious manner which is popu-
larly supposed to fascinate young chill
dren, what did Moses dor"
The infant mind worked on the problem
for few moments in silence.
"Come dears," said the young teacher,
encouragingly, "some one tell me what
Moses did,
A very small boy on the hdgetty back
row seemed to be struggling with reply.
"What is it, Willie?" urged the teacher
encouragingly.
Hith thumb weighed pound"
What3o asked the astonished teacher.
My mariner says So"
Says what, Willie?" demanded the per-
picked teacher, while the class stopped
fidgetting and listened intently.
She says every time Moses puts his
thumb on the scales it weighs a pound"

The early Celts worshipped the dawn
and the sunrise. 1t is more than probable,
therefore, that their liking for the color
green, which we see in their flags, sashes,
etc., arose from a mistake among those
who had lost a thorough knowledge of the
Irish language. The sun, in Celtic, is called
by word pronounced exactly like our
word "green," and it is likely that the
Irish fondness for that color arose through
the striking similarity of the two words.
In the same way, when we talk about a
greenhouse we think they are SO called
because plants are kept green in the
winter; yet it is far more probable that
the word is derived from the old Celtic
word for sun, because greenhouses are SO
built as to catch the rays and heat Of the
sun and store them for future use.-St.
Louis Republic.

The Siamese merchant uses the monkey
10 detect counterfeit coin. Every piece i
handed to him, and he picks up each bit
OF money, one at time, and meditative-
ly puts it into his mouth testing it with
grave elaboration. If the coin isgood he
declares the fact plainly. He takes it
from his mouth and carefully places it In
its proper receptacle beside him. He has
pronounced judgment, and every one
Is satisfied that the judgment is correct
But If the coin is bad the cashier makes
known his verdict in an equally unmis-
taxable manner. He throws it violently
from his mouth to the floor, shaking his
head with as much disgust as the mer-
chant himself might feel at being inn
posed upon. With loud gatherings and
angry gestures he makes known his
displeasure at being presented with bad
piece of money. The merchant himself
could not express it better Calcutta

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %. Hitherto the
importation of opium into Hawaii has
been prohi tied and as much as $40 a
pound has been paid fer the Struggled
article. Now every pound of the stuff
that enters Honolulu will call for a duty
of $50 a pound. The trade will be in
the hands of one firm and the govern
ment will put the privilege up at auc-
ton. This privilege is fixed at S75, 900
for enc year and whoever bids the
most above that sum will get the fran
chise By this the government hopes
20 stop smuggling. The result will
probably be that the smugglers will
purchase the franchise, as there is
money in il.

&he haii-tarrier stole Everything he

PARKERsBURG. w. Va, Jan 2a.-Har-
~ Houser. for many years mail-car-
rier at Wheeling. and member of one
of its prominent families. was indicted
at the present term of the United States
conrt for tampering with the mails,
stealing stamps and a variety of other
articles. His arrest created a
profound sensation, as no one in the
least suspected him. He had been talked
of as republican candidate for
mayor, and was quite prominent polit-
ically. Friday he made public con-
fession in open court of all the charges
against him. The case is a peculiar
one. Although he confessed to the
stealing of nearly one thousand dollars
worth of government property, he did
not appropriate cent of it to his own
use.
In his room all the property was
found properly marked, but not a cents
worth used. The government did not
lose a cent by him. In addition to steal
ing stamps, he stole a suit of clothing,
ladies shoes, hardware, fancy pen
knives and a variety of things for which
he had no use.
All these were found properly labeled
in his room just as they had been taken
from the stores. His counsel, Ex-Con-
Gresham Atkinson, made a strong plea
that he be leniently sentenced by the
court That he was a kleptomaniac and
meant to violate no law by his act.
Sentence has not been imposed.
