WHY AND WHEREFORE.

CLOUDS that move In direction op-
posite to that of the surface current
indicate a change of weather, because
they prove the existence of two air
currents, one warm and the other cold,
and the mingling of these often causes
rain.
The strongest muscle is in thecalf of
the leg, because locomotion is one of
the most necessary functions. The
great muscle of the calf has been found,
by actual experiment, to be capable of
sustaining seven times the weight of
the body.
MANY persons lay poker across the
top of a CRATE to make the fire burn,
because of popular superstition, once
credited, that stubborn fire was due
to the devil. Two polSers were used,
and were laid across the fire in the
form of cross.
TIE human system can endure heat
of two hundred and twelve degrees,
the boiling point of water, because the
skin is a bad conductor and because
the perspiration cools the body. Men
have withstood without injury heat
of three hundred degrees for several
minutes

ENGLISH ROYALTY.

AMONG his many accomplishments
the duke of Edinburgh can speak seven
languages.
SIR EDWIN ARNOLD said the other day
that he Endorsed remark once made

ponds on being civil to interviewers.
THE duke of York has never con-
quered his tendency to seasickness, and
although he does great deal of yacht.
ing with his father it is not all plain
sailing for him.
LORD ABERDEEN first met his wife on
Guisachan, her fathers estate, when
he was lad, and, having lost himself
on the hills, begged shelter at the lodge
for himself and his pony.
HERE is good story which is told
of Sir Arthur Sullivan: 1t was at din
ner, and young lady inquired of Sir
Arthur whether Bach was composing
anything at present. "No," he replied;
''at present he is decomposing."
THE duke of York, who is an enthusi-
astic stamp collector, recently applied
to the agent general of the colonies for
specimens of the issues of their coun-
tries. In reply stamps have been sent
to him by the sheet, and in some cases
issues withdrawn have been reprinted

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 20 Per Cent. Above Its Nea rest
Connection,

Royal Baking Powder IN Strength and
Value go Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competition.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients
most perfectly com bined-wherever eX-
hibited in competition with others. 10
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts of
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be 16O
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
VI DOWOCls vi IilC Cl0dih VI bdI
baking powders exhibited at the Fair,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of III. The Royal, therefore,
was found of 20 per cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than it's nearest competi-
tor, and A per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to fineness,
dellcacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coup-
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to exceed the
sales of all other baking powders com.

THE FAD OF NERVOUSNESS.


Soda Fountains Responsible for Much HUI
man Misrrj.
Nervousness is as much of fad as
anything else said DR.. Egbert Dixon,
of Buffalo, "and the modern soda wa
ter fountain has more to do with the
increase in the mania than anything
else. In days of Old, when soda water
was first added to the wares of the
druggist it was devoted entirely to
satisfying the public taste for some
thing cool, sweet and refreshing Fruit
sirups of harmless character were
fixed up to a proper degree of gaseous
bubbling, and the mission of the soda
fountain was a commendable one.
Nowadays it, is devoted to bromos,
nervines an,i lots of other things that
are made from the deadliest sort of
drugs, while they are hung with signs
inviting people to become their own
physicians by trying some of the
countless nostrums which are al
legged to cure anything from a
headace to an ingrowing toe
nail in an almost inconceiv-
ably small space of time. The
tired-out individual sees one of the
nervine signs and mistakes his weari-
ness for nervousness, and straightway
proceeds to doctor himself with some
thing. he knows not what, but which
on account of its powerful properties,
braces him up and makes him feel
bright, The natural result follows.
He takes some more of the soda water
fountain stuff whenever he gets tired.
and in a month or so his system is on
the road to general breaking up.
Dragging ones self at soda fountain
is dangerous, and, as l said in the be-
ginning, nervousness is largely fad.
If supposed sufferers from nervous at
tacks would only go out and split
wood for half an hour, if men, or take
brisk walk, if women, and then take
bath and take a nap, there wouldn't
be SO much heard of this silly rot about
nervousness being our national dis
ease. "-Washington Star.

CHuRcHGoERs TAKE NOTICE.
Hints on the Way for Yourself and Others
to Enjoy Sunday.

llIhIs On Lnt way iOF ana OInerS
to Enjoy Sunday.
When your journey next leaves you
stranded in the great and delightful
city of New Chicorkadelphia on the
Sabbath day, if you should go to the
church of st. Incidence a can recon-
mend it as having the slowest singing
and the softest pew cushions, with
preacher to match, in this city)-you
will see the following Suggestions 10
worshipers"
1. Fall or slide in the pew nearest
the aisle Stay there. Do not sit erect,
but lop
2. Do not rise during the singing of
the hymns. The fact that you played
tennis or baseball on Saturday after
noon, or walked four or five miles
around billiard table Saturday night,
entities you to little rest on Sabbath
morning.
8. Extend your legs as for under the
pew as you can without sliding off the
seat. Gracefully and politely cover
your mouth with your hands while
yawning during the sermon.
4. After looking at your watch, al
ways turn your head and gaze longing
ly and earnestly toward the door.
5. Do not move if stranger, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, at
tempts to enter your pew. Permit him
to climb over your legs, no matter how
much it may annoy you.
G. Do not annoy strangers who may
enter the church by looking at them
or even glancingin their direction. II
they really want a seat, they will FIND
one without the intrusive interference
of other people.
Z. At the close of the service remark
aloud, but to yourself, that you are
hungry as shark, and set off for
home at brisk trot. Pacific Church

The Flame as a Witness.

1t is interesting to know that the
burning lamp or the flame of any fire
is still largely used throughout the
orient in confirmation of covenants or
agreements. 1t is one of the most
ancient modes of ratifying covenants,
and is mentioned in several places in
the Bible as having been in vogue in
the time of the patriarchs. In Corea,
Farther India, Hindoostan and in parts
of China and Japan it is the custom,
when making a solemn promise, es-
pecially should the other doubt
sincerity, for the one making
the promise to point to a
flame and say: "The flame is
my witness" On occasions of
greater Importance, when several
join in a compact, where the fidelity of
one or more is questioned, the com.
pany repair to some mosque or temple,
form in a circle around the lamp of
the temple" and in the presence of
mandarin or priest each solemnly
agrees with the other, pointing each
time to the flames as a witness. The
Tartars, in taking oaths or making
covenants, use the liver of sheep,
goat or horse, rub their fingers in the
blood and then make circles on their
foreheads, the whole proceeding hav-
ing the same symbolic meaning that
the fame has in the orient. st. Louis
Republic.

HERE AND THERE.

1t pays to take considerable pains
to prepare the soil in good filth be-
fore sowing the seed.
In nearly every case it will pay TO
harvest and store away everything that
can be used for feed during the winter
especially the coming winter.
1t will be far better to begin feed.
ing the growing calves and colts early
rather than to allow them to run down.
Trying to farm without an agrt-
cultural paper is as absurd as novel
without out hero, or a dinner with
out potatoes, or town dude without
mustache.
With stock. as with nearly all other
farm products, the best time to sell is
when they are fully ready. There is
usually very little advantage in feed
ing later.
Look after the shelter. 1t is better
to have the shelter ready two weeks
before it is needed than to be one day
behind and have the stock exposed to
cold storm.
The early chicks will make the
early layers when eggs are high next
spring. In good warm quarters they
will begin business in midwinter and
keep it up, if properly fed.
While with nearly all classes of
stock it is usually advisable to let run
out during the day as long as the
weather will permit, it is often good
plan to commence sheltering at night
in good season.
The most important point in mich
COW is digestion. No matter about
blood color or temperament, if digestive
power is deficient she will not be profit
able. A COW is simply machine for
converting animal food into human
food.
There is better health among row
ing fowls because they get the food
which is best for digestion, and get the
necessary grit to help the gizzard do
it's work. We should make this a study
and profit by it.
In beginning with thoroughbred
poultry, it is best to begin with the
best. If you are not able to buy as
many as you would like, buy what you
can, but get them good.
Some farmers who try to make and
sell butter not only do not know how
to make good butter, but do not know
good butter when they see it. The
writer partook of some recently at the
table of an old and intelligent farmer.
1t was commended as genuine goods,
all wool and a yard wide" Its con-
sistency was that of a half-whipped
egg; it's coler white, and it's flavor i'm
describable. 1t was worse than oleo-
margarine.
