THE HIGHEST AWARD.

ROYAL Baking Powder in Strength ana
Value 20 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly ombined-wherever ex-
hibited 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 in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tural Department Of Washington. The
official report of the tests of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose OF as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leayening 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 leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found of 20 per cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest competi-
tor, and A per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. It's superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to fncness.
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 exceed the
sales of all other baking powders CON-
bined.

A PRIMITIVE ABODE.

But let us step into few West Vir-
ginia cabins. The door is the princi-
pal source of daylight, but some have
daylight streaming in through many
uncared-for cracks or chinks between
the log walls. The draughts are such
that one would think the bedclothes
had to be nailed down to keep them
on the beds in such cabins. Some cab
ins have regular windows, and others
revel in few panes of glass let into
one wall. The lofts over the main
room of each cabin are reached in diff
ferent ways, but 1 did not see one that
had a pair of stairs.
The rule is to reach the loft by lad
der inside, at the foot of the bed, but
there are cabins so primitive that when
the woman takes you up to show you
her loom she calls to her eldest girl
child, Nance, git the pegs and set 'em
in fer we-all to go up" Then the girl
finds a number of rough-whittled
wooden pins twice the size of clothes
pins, and fits them into the line of
holes in the logs under the loft-hole.
A pail, a wash-bowl and dipper set
out-of-doors serve for the requirements
of the toilet. am told that the people
never wash their bodies, and / judge
that the men rarely comb their hair.
The women s'slick" theirs over with
water and a comb. The children simply
grow up" in a long juvenile fight
against heavy odds Of dirt and tangles.
Over the yawning fireplace in each
cabin one sees the beginning of the
high colonial mantel which we so ea-
gerly borrow for our houses-a tall
narrow shelf bearing a line of bottles
md cans. There or on closet or bu-
r.au one is certain to see a cheap Con-
aecticut lock: and under the tall, old
fashioned principal bed is apt to be
seen the most important article in
mountain household-the cradle When
daylight fails, the people go to bed. If
they sit up, they do so in the light OF
the logs in the fireplace. If they need
to find anything which that light does
not disclose, they pick out a blazing
pine knot from the fire and carry il
about as we would carry lantern or
a lamp. The pine knots smoke so pro-
diriously that the ceilings of these ca b.
ms are as black as ebony; not bad
effect from an artistic point of view,
for the dead black is soft and rich. and
shows off everything against and be-
meath it, particularly the brass-trimm ed
gun that is certain TO hang on rafter
just in front of the door.-Julian Ralph.

last degree. With matted hair hanging
down his back, in his hand he carries
a stick with bell attached, and this
he strikes to attract attention, as again
and again he gives the wild howl that
first caught our ear. 1t is the name of
some god to whom his life is devoted,
and his self-imposed duty is to utter
this name so many thousand times
daily.
The women crowd around him and
touch his feet reverently. any grain
seller will be proud to give him as much
food as he will take, but to the end of
his life this misera BILE wretch will live
shelterless under the burning sun and
through bitter freezing nights, un-
clothed, starving, scorning even the
commonest comforts, without inter-
course with his kind. and all that the
name of SILVA may be heard in the
land and due glory given him. In the
next world will there be any reward
for such complete abnegation, the
more pitiful, surely, that to US it
seems so entirely thrown away?
