A Very Gente.i Litle MiataIse.

Some Of the Indian boys sometimes
hesitate to accept an invitation to tea
or dinner with a teacher. fearing they
will make some little mistake at the
table.
They need have no such fears, for
being such a close observer of manners
a1d customs OF associates, the Indian
seems to catch the tricks Of etiquette,
without effort and without much teach
ing. 1t is often remarked that "such
and such a one has very nice manners,
and where did he get themY
But an amusing little incident in con-
nection with an Indian boy at one Of
the government schools Is told in the
Indian Helper. 1t will be read with
rs much interest by the boys and girls
now at the school as by the rest OF
our readers.
An Indian boy had been invited to
dine with n friend in town.
The dinner progressed nicely, apd the
lad. who was not long from camp, did
nothing unseemly. 1t was observed,
whowever, that he observed every
move Ut the luDle, anu WIFI Ills lTleuu

When his friend ate with fork, he
ate with a fork
When his friend slipped coffee with a
spoon. he did likewise.
| Ifhis friend mashed his potatoes with
his fork and put butter on them, he
did also.
A lively conversation was kept up
all through, so as to make the Indian
boy feel as comfortable as possible.
But when the oranges came for dos-
sert the boy was at a loss TO know how
| TO handle the fruit.
His friend had an orange which was
decayed on one side, so he took the
knife, cut IL in half and only ate the
good part, leaving the other half by
the side Of his plate.
The boy believing what his friend did
was undoubtedly good manners follow
ed suit, took his knife, and as skilfully
cut his great fine orange in half and
ate one half only, leaving the other
half by the side Of his plate
The boy liked oranges, but he did
not mean to commit any breach of ETH

IMPORTANT FOOD TESTS.
How to Produce More Economical and
HeRlthful Articles for the Table.

Henlthful Articles for the Tab'e.
The official food analysis by the
United States and Canadian govern
mGnts have been studied with interest.
The United States government report
gives the names of lS well-known bak-
ing powders. some of them advertised
rs pure cream-of-tartar powders,
which contain alum.
The report shows the Royal TO be a
pure cream-of-tartar baking powder,
the highest in strength, evolving 100. 6
cubic inches of leavening gas per single
ounce of powder. There were eight
other brands of cream-of-tartar pow
ders tested, and their average strength
was Ills cubic inches of gas per ounce
of powder.
The Canadian government investiga-
tions were of still larger number of
powders. The Royal Baking Powder
was here also shown the purest and
highest in strength, containing As per
cent. more leavening gas per ounce
than the average OF all the other
cream-of-tartar powders.
These figures are very instructive to
the practical housekeeper. They in
dictate that the Royal Baking Powder
goes more than 80 per cent further in
use than the others, or is one-third
more economical. Still more import
ant than this, however, they prove this
popular article has been brought to
the highest degree of purity-for to its
superlative purity this superiority in
strength is due-and consequently that
by its use we may be insured the
purest and most wholesome food.
The powders of lower strength are
found TO leave large amounts of i'm
puritics in the food. This fact is
emphasized by the report of the Ohio
State Food Commissioner, who while
finding the Royal practically pure,
found no other powder to contain less
than 10 per cent. of inert or foreign
matters.
The statistics show that there is used
! in the manufacture of the Royal BalS
ing Powder more than half of all the
cream of-tartar consumed in the United
States for all purposes. The wonder

In a TIrht Plnce.

When wounded African buffalo
gets in chase of you, it is time to
look out. SO thinks Mr.. Charles Mon
tague, and he has reason TO know.
One day such beast came after him so
suddenly that he had no time to fire,
and could only make dash into Il mar
row path troddcn by game. He hoped
the buffalo would rush past, but the fel.
low was too cunning.
He was close to me. In another see
ond i must have been gored, when for
tune favored me. There was a small
tree with branches growing at an angle
outward from the very root. Under
this tree l dived and lay fiat, keeping
my body as close to the roots as i
could.
The buffalo could not get at me. The
width of his horns was too great "a
allow him to thrust his head well under
the stout lower branches, nor could he
get near enough TO trample me with
bis hoofs. But he did the next best
thing-he battered my back and shout
ders with his nose.
l tried TO seize him by the tongue
and in so doing cut my hand against
his teeth. Every time / tried TO draw
breath he gave me another thump be
tween the shoulders, knocking all the
wind out of me.
i heard roaring in my ears as If
were taking a long dive, and n mist
seemed TO cloud my vision. l rcmem
Der that felt no pain, and only thought
TO myself, well, here is an end Of me.
Then became insensible.
When l came TO again, Langa and
Pandela were propping me up and pour
ing water over my head, and blood was
oozing from my lips.

readiness Of Pandcla, who, seeing my
peril, rushed up, hurled his asscga

Electrolier is word that has found
a place in the business world, and even
in some dictionaries, though the great
public. with the characteristic con-
servatism that held on to 'chande-
lier' after oil and gas had displaced
candles, still refuses to adopt the new
word. As to the thing itself, it is a
puzzle to decorators, since there is n
genuine difficulty in producing just
the right form so long as people skep-
tically demand a double instrument

trio current fails TO run.

The Railroad Dog.

One of the best dog stories that has
been reported of late is the following.
OF course you can believe it or not, as
you like. 1t comes as n fact, and If
t is, then dogs are still wiser than they
used TO be:
There is an engineer out on the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad who is the
owner of dog which is possessed of
good deal more than the average
amount Of canine intelligence. This
dog is a bright little water spaniel,
and has been accustomed to ride with
his master on the engine since he was
puppy. He goes to the rOundhouse
about the time for his masters train TO
be made up, and mounts his own en-
CINE, having no difficulty in picking 1t
out from the twenty or more other
engines standing in the rOundhouse.
He rides on the fireman's side Of the
cab. with his head and paws both
hanging out Of the window, intently
watching the track. He often scents
cattle at n long distance. When they
appear i'm sight he becomes greatly eX-
cited and barks furiously, looks first Mt
them and then at his master, as though
trying to make him understand the
gravity of the situation. On n nearer
approach TO them he becomes almost
frantic. and if it becomes necessary TO
come to fun stop. he bounds out
Of the cab, and running ahead, drives
the trespassers out of harms way.
He is we'll known to all the railroad
men along the line, and If by chance he
gets left at any station, he invariably
boards the first train for home, where
he patiently awaits the return of his

full, il can not be denied that the
greatest attraction in pictures of tins
kind is the opportunity presented for
the display of the human form di-

gestive This may or may not be OBJ
jectionable, according to the taste and
opinion Of the beholder. Certain it is
that the effect produced is often one
of startling realism and great beauty.
Upon seeing these productions one is
inclined to wonder how it is possible
to produce the radical changes in
such quick succession And. indeed,
it is a work of considerable magni-
