TALK ABOUT WEATHER.
New York Man Who Tells the Tempera-

New York Man Who Tells the Tempera-
ture by Tasting the Atmosphere.
There is a man in New York who is
an expert weather sampler, and just
as the tea expert tastes his brands to
appraise them, so this man tastes the
weather. He will at any time of the
day, or at any place, SO long as it is in
the open air, taste the atmosphere and
tell you what the temperature Is. He
never gets more than two degrees
away and seldom more than one. The
other day, says the Tribune, friend
played a joke on him by using Their
mometer which was not In working
order. The sampler. after tasting the
weather. said that it was thirty-one
degrees above zero. The thermometer
pert would not be convinced that he
could be wrong. He insisted that they
walk along until they found another
thermometer. They found il and 1t
registered thirty-one degrees.
when the leaves turn early" says a
Michigan man. 1--WE have hard win
ter. When they turn late we have an
open winter. One would suppose that
the time at which winter set In would
have everything to do with the turn
ing of the leaves, and 1t is known that
some open winters set in early and
some cold ones set in late. But have
noticed that the time of cold weather
beginning does not mark the turning
of the leaves. The present winter set
In early In Michigan. There was un-
usually cold weather in October, but
the leaves did not turn until month
later than the average time. All lum-
bermen arranged for an open winter
on that account, and they have not
been mistaken. In fact, have never
known the sign TO fail"

Catholic Church In America to Govern

Catholic Church In America to Govern
Itself Hereafter.
New YORK, Sept % There seems
to be no doubt that Bishop Keane of
the Catholic university at Washing
ton, is the bearer of a rescript
from Pope Leo XIII. which will be
read to the assembled Catholic
archbishops of the United States at
Philadelphia on Oct .O,and which will
make an epoch in the history of the
Catholic church in this country. The
document which Bishop Keane is said
to have with him removes the United
States entirely from under the au-
thority of the college of the propa-
ganda OF the faith and makes the
American church entirely elf-govern-
ing except in the matters of faith, in
which it still submits, of course, to
the see of Peter Mgr. Satolli's pow
ers are increased and his field of iur-
isdiction is broadened and he is con-
hrmed as the permanent apostolic
delegate in the United States.
This action of Leo XIII. is consid-
cred as mark of entire approval and
Endorsement of Mgr Satolli's course
in this country, and it can not but be
construed as rebuke for those prel-
ates who tried to discredit him and to
interfere with his mission.
Another most important rumor in
connection with the matter is that
after awhile Mgr. Satolli will be with
drawn and an American will be ap.
pointed as papal delegate thus COM
pleting the autonomy of the Catholic
church in the United States.
The action of the pope is a direct
blow at the Ultramontanes and Jesu-
its, who have placed themselves more
or less in antagonism to modern
thought and progressive ideas 1t is
decision in favor of the people and
the priests against the majority of the
bishops and it places the Catholic
church officially on record as indors-
ing American institutions and declar-
ing as acceptable to Catholic faith
the American idea of total separa-
ton of church and state. 1t does not
however, affect in the slightest de-
gree any dogma of faith held or
taught by the church. 1t relates only
to matters of discipline and local gov
eminent in things not of faith. Every
question affecting the welfare of the
church In America will be decided by
the church here itself with the aid of
the papal delegate. Such cases as
that of Dr. McGlynn will not now be
re ferred to Rome but will be settled
by an American tribunal n 81. .n, II

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value go Per Cent. Above It's Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of it's class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly Acknowledgement x
hiblted in competition with others. In
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 invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exam
nation for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chem
ical division of the Agricultural De-
partment of Washington. The official
report of the tests of the baking pow
ders which were made by this depart
ment for the specific purpose of ascer-
tanning which was the best, and which
has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be
100 cubic inches of carbonic gas per
ounce of powder. Of the cream of
tartar baking powders exhibited at the
Fair, the next highest in strength thus
tested, contained but 1873 cubic inches
of leavening gas. The other powders
gave an average of Ill. The Royal,
therefore, was found of 20 per cent.
greater leavening strength than its
nearest competitor, and Al per cent.
above the average of all the other
tests. It's superiority in other respects,
however, in the quality of the food it
makes as to fneness, delicacy and
wholesomeness, 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, as shown by statistics, to ex-
coed the sales of all other baking pow
ders combined.
