Don't Blame the Cook

Ae..# . ;
Il baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
tormly 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
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health, by accepting any sub
stltute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder
1t is always strictly reliable 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will until used, and make more
wholesome food

Two Strange Death Customs,

In some parts of England queer
custom is still in vogue, which is re-
peated whenever death occurs. It's
called the ''bite of sin,'' and whenever
some one in house dies piece of
bread is laid on the breast of the corpse
which some stroller-by is persuaded to
eat for good sum Of money. In this
way it is believed that the sins of the
dead are transferred to the living, who
n turn can shove them of together
with his own by similar ceremony
when his life comes to an end. On the
Sandwich Islands the widows have the
names of their departed husbands tat.
tooed on their tongues. Cincinnati

them, but: as he explained, because
cost of maintenance must be taken
into account in estimating the price Of,
srusset shoes. It happens that no man
polishes his own russell shoes, and that
the usual price Tor polishing them Is
ten cents, or double that Of polishing
black shoes II Thus comes about that
cost Of maintenance in the case OF rus

two dollars per month, and no man
knows the cost Of his russell shoes until
they are worn out. YES

merce of Persia for the advancement of
his people, and he began his reign by
giving important privileges to his sub
jects.
His majesty has made several visits
to Europe for the purpose of studying
the industries of foreign nations so as to
Introduce them into Persia. If the
Persian government has sometimes
been accused of being non-progressive
it is because it has been very much
hampered by the jealousies of other
nations. His majesty the shah himself
has always been prepared to lend
willing ear and give helping hand to
those who wished to introduce into
Persia industries that were really for
the advantage of the people and that
were seriously undertaken.
1t was for the purpose of advancing
the commercial interests of Persia and
extending her trade into new fields that
his majesty accepted the invitation of
the American government to partici-
pate in the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton. Unfortunately it was not ex-
pedient at the time for the Persian
government to make any appropriation
for the purpose, hence when E. Spen-
Ger Pratt was appointed commissioner
general to represent the Persian gov
eminent there was no special provision
made in the way of funds to carry it
through. This obstacle, however, was
surmounted by an arrangement that
Mr.. Pratt succeeded in effecting with
H. H. Topakyan, importer and extern
sive dealer in Persian goods, who un-
dertook to erect the characteristic Per-
sian pavilion in the building of Manu-
features and Liberal Arts and display
therein complete and ,creditable ex-
hibit of Persian manufactures and
products. BY this action of Mr.. To-
pakyan an unequaled Persian exhibit
was made at the Worlds Columbian ex-
position, which not only rebounds to
the credit of his majesty's government,
but will be the means of carrying cut
one of his majesty's most cherished
Ideas, the extension of commercial re-
lations between Persia and the United
States. It Is estimated that the value
of this exhibit reaches one hundred and
fifty thousand tomaps, equal to about
two hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars, which Mr.. Topakyan willingly
placed to remain in the Persian section
during the term of the exposition.
This exhibit has thus been q cause for
qualification to all who have the inter.
ests Of Persia ut heart, as thereby a
most honorable and prominent place
was held by his maiesty's government
in the exposition among the other great
nations Of the world, -

The German emperor frequently has
q weeks retirement from the bustling
world, and hides within the depths of
the forest of Prockelwitz, where q
small cottage is his abode, nestled be-
meath a splendid oak, with forest
around him for miles. There, while
the dew is on the forest, he starts forth
gun in hand, with q brace of dogs and
a sturdy forester, and at four o'clock
he is at the best spot for sport. Then
his majesty bangs away till eleven,
when he wends his way. homeward to
his cot, eats and sleeps awhile, after
which he puts his signature to all the
documents which require it, and have
been duly forwarded to his lonely re-
treat from Berlin.

Alarm of The Organ.
In The Matter of The Wage Earners'
and Industrial League

jreenville News: The Columbia
Register Of yesterday devotes nearly
all Of Its valuable editorial space to
denuuciation Of and warning against
she Wage Esrners' and Industrial
League, which the Register says is a
device of the Conservatives to over
throw the Reform" administration.
This looks as If the Register had heard
somethipg drop or saw danger coming
tn it's direction.
AZ q matter of fact, the Couservs-
hvea have nothing t. do with it. The
Greenville News would be likely to
know if they had. Most of them
know nothing about it.
Working people have the right to
organize against reform" admj dis
Grafton or any other if they think it is
hurting them. 1t is fact that taxes
are high, work is scarce, and interests
employing thousands of workingmen
are crippled. Ifthese people, seeing
these things, choose to try to do someI
thing to defend their bread and butter
and wives aud children from the res
suits of blundering, bullheaded. reck'
less and selfish schemes of,greedy poll

ister should abuse and denounce and
taunt them. 1t is ell very well 10

The obvious alarm ofthe Register
will increase public interest in and

and will probably extend the growth
Of that organization rapidly.

Bennettsville, April IA. Jack
Bradley, alias "Bi :,oty Jack" colored
was hanged here today for the murder
Of L d Taylor, white man, on the
night of August 6, 1892.
Bradley passed quiet night, sleeps
ing peacefully. He went to his death
without the slightest sign of fear, ex-
pressing his willingness to die, and
saying bis sentence was just. Even
up to the last moment he appeared
perfectly calm and smiling, without
any of the bravado or religious frenzy
that usually character,zes such occas-
ions with the negro race. His neck
WAS broken by the fall, which Was
from a scaffold arranged within the
walls of the Jail, and which has been

Jack Bradley and Henry Smith,
another negro, we're tried for the crime
and both were convicted; but in the
case of Smith a recommendation to
mercy by the jury caused his sentence
to be commuted to life imprisonment.

morning. The news soon spread aud
the men who have been securing the
woods and hills ever since the body of
the murdered storekeeper was found

The captured negro was taken be-
fore court and made to confess his
crime. He ssid he had entered the
store for the purpose of robbery aud

After the confession bad been elected
the crowd decided that he must die at

The proposition was accepted, while
the doomed man begged piteously to
be spared and the crowd yelled With
frenzy. AT last the kerosene was pro-
cured and the poor wretche's clothes
