Fe1fection i'm Cake-makinx.

Housekeepers frequently wonder
why it Is that they cannot make bis
cult and cake that are light and pal
atable and that taste as delicious as
the biscuit and cake made by their
mothers and grandmothers, the de-
lightfut memory of which even to this
day creates sensation of pleasure to
the palate. The trouble arises from
the highly adulterated state of the
materials they have to work with,
particularly the cream-of-tartar and
soda used to raise or leaven the food.
Cream of-tartar and soda that are now
procurable for domestic purposes con-
tain large quantities of lime, earth,
alum and other adulterants, frequent
ly from five to twenty-five per cent. /,
and consequently vary SO much in
strength that no person can tell the
exact quantity to use, or properly COM
bine them. to insure perfect results.
From using too much or too little, or
because of the adulterants in them,
bitter, salt, yellow. or heavy biscuits
or cakes are frequently made These
adultertants are also injurious to
health.
All this trouble may be avoided bv
the use OF the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is
employed in the place of cream-of-tar-
tar aud soda, its perfect leaven.ny
power always insures light, fal-v Ii
gestible biscuit, cakes, and pasx.S
that are perfectly wholesome and tree
from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are
employed.
The Royal Baking Powder. we are
inform ed by the most reliable scien-
lists, is perfectly pure. being made
from highly refined ingredients, care
fully ties ed, and so exactly proper
toned and combined that it never
fails to produce the best and uniform
results. An additional advantage in
its employment comes from the fact
that bread or other food made with it
may be eaten while hot without fear
of Indigestion or any unpleasant re.
suits, while being equally sweet,
moist, and grateful to the palate when
cold.

POOLING WITH MooNsAlNERs.
Only ore 81 the United States Deputy
Marshals Came Back Whole.

Only Ore az the United States Deputy
Marshals Came Back Whole.
1t was known in the United States
marshal's Office at Nashville that Wild
cat whisky was coming down the
Cumberland river. The marshal was
new in the office, said Opie Read, and
therefore was determined to do his
duty, which was, of course, to see that
the Illicit distilleries, no matter how
remote, should be destroyed, and that
the distillers should be brought to
Justice. His predecessor in Office
had been likewise determined, and had
sent brave men to the mountains. but
whisky had continued to come down
the Cumberland river. The present
marshal, Captain Hayes, an old Con-
iederate officer, said that he thought
that when the boys found out that he
really wanted them to quit they would
do so. He understood them, he knew
their natures, their impulsiveness and
their disposition to yield to persuasion.
So he sent a deputy and four men to
tell the boys to quit. One night about
week later some one rang the door
bell, and the marshal himself went to
the door,
Why" he said, ''have you got
back, Carney?'
Carney answered.: Eyes, just about. :"
Where is the deputy marshall"
"Well, he's back, too"
"Why didn't he come roundp"

him more than you did, 80 l unloaded

COAST PIRATES OF OLD DAYS.

Their Descendants Vow Scattered Along
the New Jersey seaboard.
1t Is strange race of people that
for the last 2OO years HIS Inhabited
the sandy tracts which intervene all
! up and down the coast between the
Jersey pines and the sands where the
! sea beats. These folks were wreckers
in the old times, says the New York
Mail and Express, and did enough
petty farming on the sickly soil there
to furnish them with a few necessaries.
But the large majority Of them
watched the ocean to See what il
might bring them. They'd leave any
of the ordinary pursuits of life on a
minutes notice when there came word
that there WAS 80 ship ashore. :"
There's many house there whose in

from wrecks; and even to this day, II

The legends say that long ago these
Jerseymen used to march a lame horse
up and down the beach on stormy
nights, with lantern tied to the col
lar, so that the light on the limping
beast would seem to ships out at sea
like d CLEAN from q vessel riding cas-
lily. Then God help the mariner!
There are traditions galore all up and
down the sands from the Hook to Cape
May. There are families who glory
just little in having descended from
the original pirates. They say on
sunlit days that the sea out there is
laughing over the bones that it covers
and in anticipation of the others that
are to come, borne by fate, for it is q
coast pr overb that "every foot of Jer-
sey sand has its wreck" a seaman's
maxim; when you have passed Hat
teras, look out for Barnegat." But
time has changed all that. The wo-
men and children play over the sands
where the drowned were left by the
tide. And the grandson of the real
simon-pure coast pirate has become a
more moral man, q digger of clans, q
peddler OF pleasure boats, and . pur-
veyor of soft-shell crabs. In the sum-
mer every visitor Is fish that comes to
his net, and in winter he subsists on
fish and salt pork and dredges for

The complete success of the govern

advance of foreign exchange near to
the exporting point.
Wheat is i4c higher than a week
ago and Western receipts still exceed
last years, amounting since July to
l03, 700. 900 bushels, against 100, 500, 600
bushels last year while exports from
all ports have been about 81, 600 bush:
els smaller. The smaller quantity
received last year paid more debts by
about IS, 0Oo, 900 than the larger uan-
tity this year and wheat selling for
the first time below 90 cents just af-
ter harvest may naturally be held
back for better returns. Corn had ad-
vanceo a fraction, receipts being
larger than year ago and on the
whole the outcome for farmers has
not SO improved as to promise larger
buying by the West and South.
