porfectIon I'M C,lke.Mn.Inr.

Housekeepers frequently wonder
why il is that they cannot make bis
cuii and cake that are light and palat-
able and that taste as delicious as the
biscuit and cake made by their mothers
and grandmothers, the delightful
memory of which even to this day
creates a sensation of pleasure to the
palate. The trouble arises from the
highly adulterated state of the ma
terials they lave TO work with, par
ticularly 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, frequently
from to % per cent, and consequently
vary so much ia strength that no per-
son can tell the exact quantity to use,
or properly combine them. to insure
perfect results. From using too much
or too little, or because of the adulter-
ants in them, bitter, salt, yellow or
heavy biscuits or cakes are frequently
made. These adulterants are also in
furious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by
the use of the popular Royal Taking
| Powder. Where this preparation Is
employed In the place OF cream-oI-Car-
tar and soda, its perfect leavening
power always insures light, tlaky,
digestable biscuit, cakes and pastry,
that are perfectly wholesome and free
from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are
employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are
informed by the most reliable scien
fists. is perfectly pure, being ns-de
from highly refined ingredients, care
fully tested, and so exactly proper
toned and combined that IL never fails
to produce the best and uniform re-
suits An additional advantage in its
employment comes from shc fact that
bread or other food .dade with it may
be eaten while hot without fear of in
digestion on any unpleasant results,
while being equally sweet, moist and
| grateful TO the palate when cold.

Having strong feelings upon this point, IL IS
only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give the
matter some study and acQuaint himself with
the result of the trials OF similar plans in other
places. He is satisfied that the scheme he has
originated is good one and he hasnow put IL

He has handed TO every person jnfhis employ
and they form a small army-a card which
will enable them 70 secure free medical attend

This is a practical illustr1tiOnof Mr.. Douglas

Swimming Cavalry.

Some very interesting exercises in
swimming cavalry took place lately on
the Cabul river at Peshawur. The
Thirteenth ID. c. o. Bengal lancers
have been practicing their horses in
large tank in their lines and on the
river for some time. One squadron
took cover along the river bank and
kept up steady fire to protect the
passage of the other squadron, who
placed their arms, accoutrements, and
clothes in large country boats, and
conducted their horses into lie water.
Some horses seemed to thoroughly en-
Joy themselves in the water; others be-
camc unmanageable through fear.
However, the opposite bank wos
reached and war paint resumed, and
the squadron was with most creditable
rapidity taking measures to protect
theircomrades, crossed in like manner.

Nevertheless they show even then
a remarkable endurance. An Indian

nearly eight hundred miles. In some

the Mexicans they are used to run In
the wild horses, driving them into the

days to do it, sleeping at night and
living on little pinole. They bring
in the horses thoroughly exhausted,
while they themselves are still fresh.
They will outrun any horse il you give
them time enough. They will pursue
deer in the snow, or with dogs, in the
rain, for days and days, until at last
the animal is eornered and shot with
arrows, or falls an easy prey from
sheer exhaustion, its hoofs dropping
off.-From "Tarahumari Life and Gus

to save himself from falling He was
essentially a man of action, however,
and speedily recovered from his tenn
porary impotence. Selling half-con-
sumed piece of wood from the smold-
ering fire, he blew 1t into a flame and
proceeded with its help to examine the
little camp. The ground was all stamp
ed down by the feet of horses, showing
that a large party of mounted men had
overtaken the fugitives and the direc-
ton of their tracks proved that they
afterward turned back toward Salt
Lake City. Had they carried back
both of his companions with them? JEFF
ferson Hope had almost persuaded
himself that they must have done so
when his eyes fell upon an object that
made every nerve in his body tingle
within him. A little way on one side
of the camp was low-lying heap of
reddish soil which had assuredly not
been there before. There was no mis-
taking it for anything but newly
dug grave. As the young hunter ap-
preached it, he perceived that stick
had been planted on it, with piece
of paper stuck in the cleft fork of it.
The inscription on the paper was brief,
