The HIGHEST AWARD,
ROYAL Baking Powder Has All the Ron
ors-'n strength and Value 40 Per
Cent Above Its Nearest Competitor.

ROYAL Baking Powder Has All the Hor-
ors n strength and Value 40 Per
Cent Above Its Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the envi-
able record Of having received the highest
award Tor articles of its class-greatest
strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly
eomolned-whereyer exhibited in competi-
ton with Others. In the exhibitions of
former years, at the Centennial. at Paris.
Vienna and at the various State and indus
trlaI ialrs, where it has been exhibited
Judges have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest hunors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the examina-
tions for the baking powder awards were
made by the exIerts of the chemical divi-
sion of the Agricultural Department at
Washington. The official report OF the
tests of the baking powders which were
made by this department for the specific
purpose OF aScertalning which was the best
and which has been made public, shows the
leayening strength of the Royal to be lee
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce OF
powder. Of the cream of tartar baking
powders exhibited at the fair the next high
est in strength thus tested contained but
lSS cubic inches of leavening gas, The
other powders gave an average of Ill. The
Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent
greater leaNenlng strength than It's nearest
competitor, and A per cent above the aver
age of all the other tests. Its superiority
\ in other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it makes as to tineness, delicacS
and wholesomeness, could not be measureC
by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and ap
preCiated by the women of the country TO
so many years, that have caused the sale
of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown b,
statistics, to exceed the sales of all othe
baking powders combined.

What General Lane Did for Texas.

One episode in the career of the late
General Walter p. Lane will forever en-
dear his memory in the hearts of the Texas
people During the Mexican war, while
he was major of Hayes regiment of Texas
Rangers, under General Wool, he was sent
with a small body of men in the direction
of San Luis Potosi to discover the move
ments of the Mexican army. There were
two roads to San Luis Potosi, one by
Matchuela, n large town, the other by the

The present forward weather seems
to be a great season for the small boy.
He gets more solid enjoyment out of the
warm days and the dry sidewalks than
the street cleaning department of the
poard of public works, Every small boy
who is anybody down on the heights has
pair of roller skates and good strong
pair of lungs. These boys play hockey
on the asphalt pavement of that exclu-
sive quarter, catch rides ON the backs Of
grocery wagons and keep up constant
and eternal yelling, Why they yell does
not appear. 1t is perhaps because a
small boy cannot do much of anything
without yelling. These boys so scurry-
ing around corners ON their skates in i'm.
minent danger of cracking their OWL
skulls and to the great terror of passerS
by. They dodge under the heads of spir'
tied coach horses and altogether make 6
fresh and healthy nuisance of them
selves.
Those poorer boys who are not wealthy
enough to afford each a pair of rollel
skates, split up a pair between two ant
so about pushing the wheeled foot IL
front of them, evidently having a
much fun as the rest. The whipping
top is also now much in vogue, and tn
tops and the rollers make life burdel

lators and babies and the policeman o
the corner.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Judge Dent of Newman had some queer
witnesses in his court on Wednesday. They
were negroes, and while endeavoring to at

frightful manner.

"'Caze wanted to perpetruate de whole

"Why did you do sot" another man was
asked.

One of the principal arguments ad-
vanced in favor of deer forests is that
those who are able to indulge in that
luxury spend much money in the High
lands. But how if sportsmen insist on
maintaining forest grounds and never
visit -theml Mr.. Wnans, whose sport
ing territory extends from the Beauty
Firth to the Atlantic-froI. .,;cot 4 2 sea,
in fact-has not shot over the land oncs
during the past four years, and as the
deer have in consequence multiplied
enormously, the crofters of the district
have resolved to ask the millionaire to
allow them days shooting.
The application is doubtless made
more with the view of bringing the
crofters' grievances before the public
than anything else, for it is sure to be
ignored. But the continued absence Of
Mr.. Winans raises wider and more
important question: Can the setting
aside Of great stretch of country as
deer forests which are never shot ovel
be justified on any ground whatever.

tnat behind him stand the whole force. and
tne captains, and the chief, and the govern
Or anu the militia, and, if necessary, the
olue coated veteranof the regular army and
the president OF the United States.
"hlle the life of patrolman is tolerably
Ihohotonous, the nature of his duties fre-
quently gives him opportunity for distinc-
tion and promotion. With his feet onre
hrmly planted on the ladder of advance
ment, an able and ambitious policeman
may climb to positions of great honor and
responsibility and may even achieve ma
tlonal fame. In this connection the career
Oh ihomas +. Byrnes, who started as a pa
trolman and is now superintendent Of the
New York police department, is suggestive.
Byrnes has worldwide reputation and is
known as detective of extraordinary skill
and address. Inspector Williams is an.
other New Yorker of national celebrity who
rose from the humble position of patrol
man.
Similar examples Of the opportunities
open to honest, energetic and ambitious DO
hcemen may be pointed ont in nearly every
large city. There, for instance, is Michael
Brennan, who was recently made superin-
tendent of the Chicago police force. He
emigrated to Chicago from Ireland in 1862
and entered the police force as patrolman
In 1870. After two years on, his beat he
was made desk sergeant Superintendent
Washburne made him a lieutenant. Under
Mayor Cregier he was made assistant su.
perintendent and retained that position un.
til Mayor Washburne was inaugurated,
when he was honorably retired. Mayor
Harrison recalled him to the force on sue.

again assistant superintendent of police
and when Major r. w. McClaughry retired
from the superintendency few days age

A curious mode of conveyance in India Is
the thoppa, a long cane basket, with seat
in the middle, from which hangs a small
board to support the feet. Over the head
is covered top of cane and cloth. AS you
sit in this basket a man carries you on his
back, supporting some of the weight by
strap which attaches the back OF the
thoppa to his head. He always begins by
informing you that you are much too

A magnificent feast had been prepared
at Burleigh in honor of the king and queen,
and it was arranged that the little dwarf,
Jeffrey, should step from huge venison
pastry into her majesty's service This
mode of appearance was not new even then.
A pie with a dwarf inside was thought a
dainty dish to set before king" and a
gift of this kind was often S>,soad to the
sovereign's favor
On the day of the dinner Jeffrey found
himself imprisoned in a large dish, sur
rounded by high wall of standing crust.
OF course a way had been found to give
him air, but he afterward said he felt
buried alive. To add to his discomfort
buckingham slyly ordered tine pie 10 be
warmed, saying, "It were better eaten
warm than cold"
Young Jeffrey remained quiet and said
never a word rs the dish was carried to the
kitchen; but he was far from happy and
thought Of Nebuchadnezzar and the fiery
furnace until he grew warm with appre
| hension." The cook, however, understood
the joke and the dwarf pie was placed il
safety on the royal table. AT last came
the fateiul tiule--.,;a, ,crowning moment d
Jeffrey's life.
The pie was opened, the trumpet sound
ed and forth sprang the dwarf. He wa
clad in full suit of armor and skipped
about the table shaking his little sword a
some of the guests; and, remembering tn,
scorching the duke had threatened TO
him, he gave vicious little tweak at hi
grace's noble nose. Buckingham drew
back in time to save his handsome fac,
and threatened to cudgel the young knav,
with a chicken bone; but the king laughed
and said Buckingham was served quit
right.
By this time Jeffrey was nearly deafene'
with applause and half drowned in tn
perfumes the ladies sprinkled upon him, S
he hastened to end the scene by prostratin
himself before the queens plate and Ell
treating to be taken into her services
