sNoBBERY ITS OWN REWARD.
How Reporter Brought a Vulgar New
Yorker to His Knees.

!nobbery is its own reward in an
embarrassing way for the snob very
often, and no one sees more frequent
illustrations of the fact than the re-
porter. A New York man whose
name had been in print now and then
because once he held a petty Office,
was concerned in an action at law by
which his landlord sought to recover
arrears of rent. The petty ex-official
is a dapper little fellow of some social
pretensions, says the New York Her
aid. A reporter was sent to him for
particulars of the landlords action.
The door bell of the brown stone
where the little ex-official lives. was
answered By boy in uniform, liber-
ally brass-buttoned. Young Buttons
bore the reporters card to the inner
regions at the rear Of the hall whence
through the open door came sounds
of a dinner party. Also the following
after Buttons had brought in the
card:
"A reporter: What the deuce can
the fellow want?n This in the tones
of the ex-official lord and master
What A horrid reporter" in a
feminine voice. evidently that of the
lady of the house. Don't sec him.

business"

quietly when Buttons brought back
the message. "that was sent to ask
about the landlords suit to recover
rent"
Buttons marched back and an in
slant later. in a voice that could be
heard all over the house as well as
by the guests, came the announce
ment;

sued fer itn'

didn't understand, etc, and then in
a stage whisper he explained that ut

rent, merely a misunderstanding"
would be amicably adjusted and
much more in the same strain When
the reporter, after listening courie-
ously. had obtained the necessary
facts he returned to his Office and
wrote an Insignificant paragraph
about the matter and of course with
out reference to the comedy of the
evening.

HYOu Want The Best

A THOUGH you may have had good luck
n with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream OF tartar you
will have better luck and following directions
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants, and in the homes of our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is Indispensable

National flag. There are sidings and
stations, lakes, etc. When ship passes
the Office to enter the canal one of the
miniature ships is placed in correspond
lpg position, and by constant telegraphic
communication with the Mediterranean
entrance and each section the exact To-
cation of every vessel can be seen at a
glance.
Our steamer now enters the canal,
and as we are making but five miles per
hour we have abundant time to study
our surroundings. Vessels are piloted
through the canal on the block system.
At each of the stations, called "Gares,"
there are signal posts from which steam
ships are directed to either enter the sid
ings or 60 into the canal, as may be re-
quired. A full code of these signals is
supplied to ships by the canal author
tiles. Vessels not provided with an
electric protector or search light that can
throw light 1900 yards are not allowed
to navigate the canal by night. The
canal is 81 geographical, or about 100
statute, miles in length, rs to $50 feet
wide, and about 80 feet deep. In order
to prevent any serious slftings of the
canal or washing of banks it has been
found necessary to stone and concrete
them, which is now being done.
The canal is source OF great revenue

remind US we are about to enter the
great waterway. We are moored of
Port Tewik, commonly called Terre-
plein. The city of Suez, from which
the canal takes its name, is located
about six miles to the west of the canal
entrance, and We must remain here un-
til the Orient line tender arrives with
orders. Our rest is not all quiet, how
ever, for we are besieged on all sides by
Arabian merchants in their picturesque
sailing dhows which ply up and down
the Arabian coast with cargoes of coffee,
spices, gums, SIENNA, rose leaves, and all
the drugs and perfumes of ''Araby the
blest." They are not long disposing of
their small cargoes, especially oranges
and bananas. A short trip on shore al
lows us to visit the southern Offices of
the canal company, situated on the edge
of green and pretty double avenus OF
of lebbek and sont trees. A tall signal
tower shows the state of traffic by means
OF balls and flags.
On the lawn is a colossal bronze statue

He Got the Change,

There is a conductor on the Euclid
Avenue street car line who played a
clever trick on a passenger the other
morning which has probably taught
him to have his fare ready hereafter
when he boards a car. The passen-
ger lives away out at the end or the
line, and was so punctual that be
caught the same car every morning.
About week ago he rendered $40
bill in payment for his fare. The
conduc did not have so much money
at the beginning of his trip and told
the passenger that he would pay the
nickel ont of his own pocket and he
could return it the following morn
ing. The next morning the business
man again presented $40 bill. Again
the conductor paid the fare for him.
This occurred four mornings in sue
cession. The fifth morning the same
$40 bill came around. but the con-
ductor was prepared. He drew
heavy bag from beneath the seat
and handed it to the passenger with
the remark: Here's your change,
sir. It's all right. I've counted it."
He had secured 1000 pennies the
night before and kept twenty-five of
them for the fares he had paid for
the business man. The bag con-
tained 975 copper coins The passen-
ger took the bag and rang for the Car
to stop. He now rides on another
car.-ClevelanQ Plain Dealer.

runs parallel with the canal. The coal
ing at Port Said is al interesting feature,
although we are glad when operations
are begun to leave for shore.
We are no sooner made fast to buoy
than hundreds of black Arabs, with as
many baskets, paddle a mammoth lighter
alongside our vessel and in short space
of time the huge pyramid of coal is
down to the waters level. The streets
of Port Said are narrow and the store,
are odd. We spend our time on shore
mostly in bazars and after making a
tour of the city and having been treated
to dinner served IN the open air at a
French hotel we make our way slowly
down to our tender, where we find some
of our passengers engaged in donkey
race on the sandy road.
1t is twilight as our steamer passes
out of the canal between two long pro-
tectiop jetties. She is headed for Ma
Piles, our next stopping place, and we
watch the Port Said light, which is us
feet high, until it Is an uncertain speck

life before we shall have seen Mount

to the French Government, as the tariff
on our steamer alone is upward of $1,000
on freight and passengers. The passen.
ger dues are about So in our money for
first class passengers and So steerage..
We arrive at Ismailia at midnight. From
this town the railroad connects with
Cairo. This is the usual route of the
tourist to the pyramids of Geezeh, which
of the sixty pyramids are the most in.
teresting, as they are the largest, and
are located about seven miles from
Cairo. The Boolak Museum in Cairo
also must not be missed,for there can be
seen many kings and queens whose
names are familiar in Egyptian history.
It is curious and interesting to look at
the Jewish features of the Pharaoh who
brought up Moses, Rameses H., who also
played so prominent part scores of
centuries ago., and within the present
decade was discovered and placed in his
present resting place despite the efforts
of the English Government to have him
removed to the British museum.
Returning to Ismailia we pursue our
