Rat In CnrInnn anine.

Writing from st. Petersburg, u cor
respondent says; A curious case comes
up for trial in a Court Of Second In
stance next week, the details Of which
are instructive. The plaintiff, an lady
took a strong fancy to a tiny lap-dog q
few months ago, which she declared was
the prettiest and funniest little creature
she had ever set her eyes upon. The
dealer, however, dampened her enthus-
ism by asking an exorbitant price for
the animal, whose nimbleness aud vivac-
ity were certainly marvellous. A day or
two later the lady called again, deter.
mined to pay the extravagant price, but
like the Roman king, when bidding for
the books Of the Sybil, her offer was
refused and the price raised. She acted
somewhat different from the pagan
monarch, however, and paying the
money, returned home with the coveted
prize.
All her friends admired her new &C
QUESTION, but both she and they agreed
that IL was somewhat queer that the
animal should be continually sinking
away into dark corners, and generally
fighting shy of the light, while she had
no more success in trying to tame it than
II she had tried her hand on a jaguar.
The general conduct Of the lap-dog was
highly mysterious, but it was a mystery
possessed OF a certain charm which
rather added TO its value than otherwise.
They fed the animal with the best OF
everything, and, one day, after it had
partaken of a hearty meal, its mistress
thought she heard an explosion. Look
ing round, she missed her lap-dog, but
in ITS place beheld an enormous rat
standing on the dogs skin, in which it
hld been cunningly sewed up by the
dishonest dealer. The case will now be
heard by a Court of Second Instance in
connection with the question of tn,
amount of damages claimed by the plain.

A IN MINrER

After the corn is cribbed aud the fall
blowing done there is not a great deal
of team work to be done during the
winter. There will be some feed to
haul, more or less manure to haul out and
some fuel to haul. Usually one team
will do all that is necessary. II will be
best to have this team well shod and well
fed so that they can readily do what is
required Of them. 1t is always an item
to keep them thrifty, feeding and groom
ing we'll and regularly. 1t does not pay
to allow any of them to run down, and
while with those that are not at work it
is always an item to winter as economi-
cally as possible, at the same time the eco
nomical wintering should never be done
at the expense of condition. Close con
6nement is not good for horses. They
need exercise and they should be allowed
to run out every day that the weather
will permit. II may not be advisable to
turn them out into tn. pastures, but they
can have the run of a lot to good adVau-
tage. II well sheltered and given plenty
of roughness very little grain will be
needed, but they should have some. I'm
threshed oats run through a feed cutter,
with a small quantity of bran, makes one
of the very best feeds foT the idle teams
in winter. But hay and cora fodder,
with a little corn and bran, will make a
good ration. Once a week give all the
horses a bran mash. This will have a
tendency to keep the bowels open and
will serve aleo to make q variety.
Never feed more of anything than
they will eat up clean. Even with straw
or corn fodder only what they will eat
clean should be gwen. This is ncces-
sary if they have a good appetite.

reasonable care to kesp them comfort

keep them thrifty.
While II Is not necessary TO feed ID,
teams that ere not at work es much q
those that are at work will need, yet i
will pay st ell times to supply enough t

These are Facts
uhA
HonSekeepery Should Seriously C0nadey.

Hyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why " 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 Ieavening power untiI
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, so that nOne
of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that viii keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
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 h because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. It has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductOT of its business ever since is still at
the head Of its management. Thus all the

knowledge and skill attained by over a quarter Of
a ~century's experience is available in its present
preparation. The consumer is not experimental
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get a
mixture that will not " cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes of proprietorship 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 a can of Royal is
as good as the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made a 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
against the receipt into the works of an impure in
gredient; 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 go to make the
perfect "Royal."
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers There have been a 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.

DANGER IN PEAS.

Peas will kill cattle. The reason is
that the cattle eat them aud then drink
water. The peas swell and disteud the
stomach Of the animals until they burst.
There is nothing in the peas themselves
it is the swelling produced by the water.
Dry corn acts in the same way. 1t has
been suggested by compete nt agricultural
authorities that the famous or infamous
lockwood, which is a variety of the pea
family, may cause the death of animals
which eat it in the same way. There is
nothing harmful in the weed ITSELF

DR.. T. d. Crowthery, writing in the North
American Review on the question SIS Alco~
hollsm increasing Among American Wo-
men, says; statistics of persons arrested
for inebriety, extending over long periods,
Will point TO certain years in which a MAXI
mum In numbers was reached followed by a
rstroPade movement back TO a minimum.
This tide like movement is sometimes clear,
then obscure. Often IL is marked by both
epidemic ana endemic waves, and is traced
IN the prevalence of inebriety in towns and
cities, and IN the reaction noted by temper
ance revivals. This psychological ebb and
hCw was pointed ont by DR.. Westphal in
Sweden many years ago, and an interval Of
seventeen years was indicated as the time
between the maximum and minimum Pc
RODS OF lnehriety in that country. Shorter
periods have been noted by many observers
IN different countries.
MANY very startling facts point to this
wonderful cycle and drink orbit, and help
to explain the strange temperance revivals
winch spring up and sweep over the coun-
try, dying away with the same mystery and
suddenness. Such movements are undoubt-
edly the backward swing OF higa tides of
inehriety. The Histories of large cities and
towns supply many startling confrmatory
facts of periods OF inebriety and intense
temperance revivals following each other
with a strange, fascinating mystery. Like
the ebb and flow in politics, religion and the
great social movements, these drink cycles
or waves point to ranges of causes and con-
ditlons awaiting future discovery.
while many OF the causes of inebriety as
seen IN the individual are both preventable
and durable, there are other unknown psy-
Geological and physical forces that control
the form and direction of the iRebriety of
both sexes. Whatever iniebriety is in Europe
or may have been in the past, it is in this
country a brain and nerve disease, marked
by mental and physical failure, exhaustion
and central degeneration"
