Unresisting Prey to Tigers.

There are some unfortunate Indian
villagers who appear to live all their
lives in constant peril. On the one
hand stands the man-eating tiger; on
the other the Arms act warns them
to beware of acquiring lethal weapons.
They have nothing for it, therefore,
but to trust everything to official pro-
lection, and this, it appears, some.
times proves anything but a safe.
guard. Only the other day the mis-
cradle inhabitants of Anami, ham.
let in Bengal, implored the Lieuten.
ant Governor to take action before
they were gobbled up.
A particularly hungry tiger had es-
tablished itself close to the village,
and almost every day witnessed
fresh outrage. At one time, the
beast showed a preference for cattle,
and the milky mothers of the herd
had their ranks thinncd. But this
kind Of fare required to have its mo.
nOtOny relieved at intervals by the
substitution of "long pork" with the
result of some inhabitant becoming
acquainted with the digestive tigrine
apparatus.
The villagers were quite willing to
make war upon their striped foe; at
least they protested to be. But they
possessed no arms, that being for
hidden by law, while the state did
not attempt to afford them any pro-
lection beyond the general offer Of
rewards for tiger killing.
Similar cases are by no means un-
common; they often come to light in
the native papers, by which they are
a1duced as arguments for the abrO.
cation of the Arms Act. That rem
edy would be far worse than the dis.
ease; if all the people in Indian were
allowed to carry deadly weapons
there would be no end to battle, MUIR
der and sudden death. Efficient
state protection is the proper rene.
dy for an evil which would scarcely
exist at all but for the interference of
the state with the liberty of the sub.
jet.
Perhaps the Indian Civil Service
examination will hereafter include
some tests of sporting proves; it is
much more necessary kind Of educa.
ton than many of the subjects which
are taken up.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder has all the
Honors-In Strength and Value 30
per cent. above It's Nearest Com
petitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has tho
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles OF It's class
greatest strength, purest ingre-
dents, most perfectly combined
wherever exhibited in competitor with
others. In the exhibitions of former
years, at the Centennial, at Paris,
Vienna and at the various State and
Industrial fairs, where it has been ex-
hibited, judges have invariably award
ed the Royal Baking Powder the high
est honors
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex.
animation for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. The chief chem
lists official report of the tests of tho
baking powders, which was made for
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, shows the leaven-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. Of the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average Of
III. The Royal, therefore, was found
OF twenty per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and forty-four per cent. above The
average of all the other tests. It's
superiority in other respects, howevers
in the quality Of the food it makes as
to fneness, delicacy and wholesome
ness, could not be measured by fig
ures. -
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the cousl-
try for SO many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
coed the sale of all other baking pow
ders combined.
