Dry toast should be served directly
from the toaster. When this is not
practical, pile it on a heated bread
plate, cover il with napkin and put it
on the hearth or in the oven. Toast is
given in all slight attacks of sickness
because ii is so easily digested. The
more thorough the conversion Of the
starch the more easily and perfectly
the system will manage it, for the
change of starch into dextrine by the
action OF the heat is simply doing out
side of the body what takes place in it,
in the ordinary comrse OF digestion, by
the action of the digestive fluids
Therefore when this is accomplished
by artificial means nature is spared so
much energy. Philadelphia Times

TIE HIGHEST AWARD.

The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the

hibited in competition with others In
the exhibitions of former years. at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs,

have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-

official report of the tests of the baking

however, in the quality Of the food it
makes as to fineness, delicacy and
wholesomeness, could not be measured
by figures.

From a recent published estimate of
the strength of the proposed wire shafts
for steamships it appears that in this
imnortapt respect the most satisfactory
result is realized. When made in Eve
sections, with a total length of 100 feet
and Is inches in diameter, the shaft
will have 25. 900 No. steel wires, each
25 feet long, with 50, 900 fastenings,
and as each wire and each fastening
will sustain load Of 500 pounds with
out rupture or injury there is thus ex-
hibited a total inherent strength of
some 81, 500, 600 pounds, or an amount
e5 times greater than the continuous
force Of an engine Of 5000 horsepower,
which is indeed SIGNIFICANT showing.

STYLISH NEW HAT.
immensely wide strings edged with lace,
which, when tied, form the fashionable
scarf A new model had broad green
moire strings and black roses under the
brim.
On nearly everything-everything in
the shape of bonnet, that is-does one
see the CLINT and sparkle of spangles. A
charming toque was of black net
spangled in green, trimmed at one side
with saucy bow to match and a cou-
pie of pink roses. Roses are shown in
very odd shades this time, some of them
having that dull faded look which the
natural ones have after standing in wa
ter for several days. Another pretty
toque was of gold embroidery trimmed
with two outstanding loops of pale blue
spangled MORE ribbon and a clump of
faded roses. The arrangement of the
flowers this spring is scarcely so pretty
as one could wish. The small punches
of black violets, wired to stand upright
look like miniature trees. "Sunburned
straw" seems to be popular, in spite Of
the fact that it is decidedly trying to
the average complexion. Some of the
shapes are positively startling.
A particularly stylish new hat is a
modification of the Duchess Of Devon
shire shape, trimmed with four black
plumes and black moire antique bow.
Tho flowers underneath the brim are
violets and pink roses,
Coming to gowns the latest fancy is
for checked silks, taffetas or slightly
heavier grosgrains, which are some
times watered and are always glace.
The ground may be shot in two colors, as
pale green and white, with fine line
crossbars of two colors, usually black
and white, or else it has small blocks a
third of an inch square Of several col
ors. These silks are made into carriage
costumes for spring, completed by lit
tie bOlero of cloth when in the street,
while for the house they are charming
ly trimmed with a collarette OF fichu of
embroidered null.
Mirror MORO antique is perhaps the
most beautiful of the many novelties in
silks for evening wear. Its cOlOring is
so delicate, and it has such rich sheen.
An example of this material is i'll pale
green, shot with heliotrope. Shot silks
are every bit as popular as they were
this time last year and much prettier.
The new colors are very soft and attract
i've Satin is fashionable, of course, and
brocade too. The new brocades show
no very striking effects.
A novel feature about q new evening
dress is the sleeve which droops Oh the
shoulder, thus disclosing tho prettiest
part Of the arm. Tho bodice is Of white
satin, with jet trimmings and shoulder
straps of the same The black satin skirt
is striped with Jet.
MORE antique or moire and ecru lace
are the materials of which everything
smart in the shape of q wrap seems to
be made this spring. Lace with deep
vandykc points is the newest of the new
trimmings. Charming little moire an
