THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 90 Per Cent Above Its Nearest
Competitor.

Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 90 Per Cent Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record OF having received the high
est award for articles Of its ciass-great-
est strength, purest ingredients, most
perfectly com bined-wherever exhibited
In competition with others. In the ex-
hlbltions OF former years, at the Centen-
NAL, at Paris. Vienna and at the various
State and Industrial Fairs, where it has
been exhibited, judges have invariably
awarded the Royal Baking Powder the
highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exami-
nation for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chemi-
Ca. division OF the Agricultural Depart
ment of Washington. The official re-
port of the tests OF the baking powders
which were made by this department for
the specj ic purpose OF ascertaining which
was the best, and which has been made
public, shows the leavening strength OF
the Royal to be 160 cubic inches OF car
bonic gas per ounce of powder. Oh the
cream OF tartar baking powders exhib-
tied at the Fair the next highest in
strength thus tested contained but 1873
cubic inches OF leayening gas. The other
powders gave an average of Ill. The
Royal, therefore, was found OF 20 per
cent greater leavening strength than it's
nearest competitor, and A per cent
above the average Of all the other tests.
Its superiority IN other respects. how
ever, in the quality of the food it makes
as TO tineness, delicacy and wholesome
ness could not be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities. known and
appreciated by the women OF the coun-
try for SO many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, a.
shown by statistics, to exceed the sales
OF all other baking powders combined.

"A sensational story II sent out from
Washington by the correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer concerning the ~
ported detection Of Miss Catherine Drexel.
: daughter Of the Philadelphia branch Of
the wealthy Drexel family, from the ranks
Of the Catholic sisterhood. The story Is
the more interesting a. 1t Ii coupled with
the rumor that the lady IL shortly to enter
into the holy bonds Of matrimony. This
has created considerable Of q stir In the
highest social circles Of New York and
Philadelphia.
Miss Catherine Drexel's story 10 a very
romantic one. She Is the second Of three
daughters Of the late Francis Drexel. In
very early youth she placed her affections
ON Walter George Smith, the son OF an
Intimate friend and near neighbor Of the
Drexel family, at their country home at
Torresdale, near Philadelphia Her sue
cessful rival was her oldest sister, Eliza
beth, though the latter had no suspicion
that she was such.
When all arrangements for the marriage
OF Elizabeth Drexel and Walter George
Smith were completed, Catherine Drcxel
announced her intention Of retiring from
the world and Of devotins her great for
tune to the church in missionary work
among the Indians She took her vows
ut convent In Pittsburg and was there
after known In religion As Sister Gather
Inc. In a short time Sister Catherine be-
came superioress Of new convent that
owed Its existence to her wealth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith passed the first
year Of their married life In Europe. Mrs.
smiths falling health induced the pair to
return to the Torresdale homestead, where
she died. And 1t is the brother in law to
whom Sister Catherine had SO long ago
given her heart that she Is to marry. &C.

Beginnings of the Income Tax,

In 1877 a ''tax unheard of before was
imposed by parliament, which took the
form of a poll tax, graduated chiefly &C
cording toranl, though partly according
to property. Dukes had to pay Sc 15s.
Id; earls, "a; barons, GO; knights, 81;
squires, 6s. 3d., or, if they had no land,
IS. I'D. Beggars were exempt. Yet the
whole amount collected was under e25,-
Geo. The poll tax having failed, the
country reverted to the previous system
of granting fifteenths and tenths.
The first indication Of an income tax
occurs in 1875. when an act was passed
imposing a tax on every person ''seized
of manors, lands, tenements, rents, an.
nuities, offices or any other POSSESSIONS
But, although we have here the idea OF
income tax, yet this mode Of raising a
revenue is generally considered to have
been introduced by Pitt in 1899. The
rate was 10 per cent, and it produced
about e6,000,O0O. After the peace Of
Amiens, Addington repealed it on the
ground that it ought to be exclusively
reserved for times of war, but reimposed
it, for the same reason, when the war
broke out again in the following year.
1t was very unpopular and was repealed
in 1906, as soon as possible after the
close of the great war.
The tax was reimposed by Peel in 1912
for four years, his object being "to re-
ieve trade and commerce from the tram
mels by which they were bound" by re-
pealing other taxes in his opinion more
injurious. We were, however, over and
over again promised that it should be
only temporary, and II is still only i'm
posed from year to year.-Sir John Lub-

Simple Diet.

family of three growing boys as well as

most efectually on the simplest diet. I
do not mean by that unpalatable food
or that which is poorly prepared. I
mean good deal OF steaks and chops.

When an Elephant Is Crazy,

i When we present the elephant in pos
session of such intellectual gifts as may
be his, there has to be considered the
case of the elephant that, being ''must''
"a disease akin to frenzy--is for time
bereft Of it's senses. It is only the male
that suffers from this affection of fhsan-
ity, but every male is liable to it some
time or other, and unfortunately may be
attacked by it without warning of any
kind.
Some men Of long experience of ele-
plant keeping say that the must con-
dition is preceded by premonitory symp-
toms, and if taken i'll time may, by diet
and treatment, be averted; but, without
presuming to contradict those better in
formed people, can aver that ! have
known some Of them to be taken by sur
prise by the sudden ':musting" Of ele-
plants under their own immediate super
vision.

VoWels In the Hawaiian Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at, the appearance of the simple word
''naauao," the glib native rolls out the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means fFenlighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, bat never diph-
thong. 1'hree yowels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by conso-
nants. In the mouth Of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian, In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow Of the con-
tinental European languages, for the
voweis all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar. Wash

Wild Plunge of Horse and Man.

county had an experience Sunday after
noon that he will not soon forget. He
was approaching the bridge at Bonds
mill, in that county, when the horse
which he was riding took fright and
leaped over an embankment 80 feet high
into the river. AS the horse went over
he turned complete somersault, throw
ing the rider headlong into the river.
The wonder is that both man and horse
were not instantly killed. Mr.. Suther-
land received some severe bruises, es-
pecially about the lower limbs, but his
injuries are not Of serious nature. The
horse came out without scratch.-Lou-

HAND IN HAND.

When spring was young and life was new,
Love was our only friend and guide.
Sweet were the bowers he led us through
And sweet CTR going side by side.
Then summer came, golden flood,
And still we followed hand in hand.
Love was the music in our blood
And love the glory Of the land.
Rich autumn fell, and winter drove
The fruity ripeness from tie air.
But wrapped in warm, soft robes of love,
What rocked we if the world was bare?
So round again we come to spring,
Strong for another years enprise.
The birds are whist to hear lis sing,
The sun is dazzled by our eyes.
Tor hand in hand, where'er we go,
Earth under foot and heaven above,
Love is the only life we know,
And every breath we breathe is love.

Stopped the Weddings.

Saxon gills 1.0O0 years ago always
wore gold crown during the marriage
ceremony, this article being kept in the
church and fee being paid the priest
for its use by the brides of the parish.
