ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Very Thirsty Dog.

A young Wissahickon man, so the tale
goes. owned a dog Of mongrel breed,
which had added to its n great unde-
sirable quality Of low birth the more
offensive one Of the mango. The young
man determined to sever his connec-
tons with the animal, and with that
end in view he secured a large washtub
and put staples in the inside Of it, with
ropes attached to them, to securely hold
the dog, and keep its head under water.
He caught the dog just as it came in
after a long tramp In the dusty roads.
The doomed animal was preparing to
Stake it's thirst at the hydrant when its
master grabbed it and tied it down in
the tub. Then he turned on the water
and let it run until the dogs head was
totally submerged. He couldn't bear to
see the poor brute suffer, so he went
away for a quarter of an hour. He
came back, expecting to find the dog
dead. Strange to say. however. the dog
was very much alive. There was no
water in the tub. Neither was there
any leak in 1t. The dog had simply
quenched his Observation-Disclosures Rec

Russian Censors Afraid of Toistoi.
1t appears that the Russian crnsors
stand In much greater fear of TolstOi
than he does of them. They begin to
tremble as soon as they learn that he is
meditating a new book. In making up
their minds whether the work Of the
greatest Russian writer is to be placed
under their ban they have to consider
not only what the people will say in
Russia but also what the people think in
Europe. When the "KrcutZer Sonata"
was prohibited Tolstoi's wife, it is said.
went in person to the Car and lodged
a complaint. Alexander III. received
the Countess very graciously, removed
the ban, and declared that in future
he would himself act as censor of Tol-
stoi's books, adding, with a smile, that
he would be Every lenient." On the
completion of 1.-THE Kingdom Of Cod
however, it was resolved to publish the
book abroad, doubtless from a sense

Her Namesake.

1t is related that an enthusiastic adj
mirer of Fanny Kemble, whose full
name was Frances Anne, once decided
to name a little daughter for that dis
tinguiShed lady. Unfortunately. she
disliked the name of Frances only a
little less than that of Anne; while Fan
ny struck her as too undignificd to re-
place the fuller form. After much
thought the rhiid was named and
named. her mother declared, for the
person she had originally desired to
honor in thai way. Iiut the baby was

is at least doubtful il Mrs. Kemllp
would have recognized her nnmcslke.
A much funnirr. and entirely anthem
tic, case was that of the little black
baby in Washington which the mother.
a respectable colored woman, asked
leave to name for Mrs. Harriet Pres
colt Spofford. Mrs. Spofford cheerfully
granted the permission, but when,
some weeks later, she yer to call on
the infant, she was greatly surprised to
hear it addressed by its fond parents
as Genevieve.
"Why, how is that?" she asked. 81
thought the baby was to be named Har
riet for me!'
Mrs. Spofford's friends, us It CHANGED,
had often remarked that her Christian
name was o suited TO her; it was too
chilly, too prim, too conventional a
name; therefore her amusement was all
the greater when the smiling mother
replied at once, a trife apologize vet

course would be manifest on considera-

A SECRET OF THE DEEP.
Inc Mystery Surrounding an ADAM
doned Ship and Its Crew,

u'HSu snip ana Its Crew.
One OF the strangest stories about
an abandoned ship comes from the
Indian Ocean. In 1922 the British cor
vette Lizard was cruising off Ceylon.
A ship came in sight with all sail set,
and making good speed through the
water. The officers took a long look,
and n said: There is something
wrong about that vessel. Her crojack
is loose and Tapping, and there is no
man at the wheel. We had better run
down to her"
This was done, and when near it
was seer that the ship had no crew, as
there was no answer to the hail. When
boarded there We're no marks Of trouble
until, on raising a sail that was spread
over h main hatch, the body of a mar
was found. He had been ironed to the
lock-bars Of the hatch-cover, and had
apparently been dead a week.
On going into the cabin the body of
an elderly mar was found. He had
been stabbed to death. On examining
the log-book it was on record that the
ship was Spanish, from the Phillip
pines, and named Ell Frey Antonio, but,
strangely, the last entry was six weeks
past, and spoke of abandoning the ship
at a point 1000 miles away, bound for
Malaga, Spain. She was left on the
road to China. A pitcher of water on
the table was intact. Could the YES
sci have come this long journey without
meeting a storm, and how had the dead
men got here? They had not been
dead six weeks, and both were Lascars.
The Frey Antonio was taken into
Madras, the Spanish government no.
titled, and their answer only made the
mystery deeper. The ship had sailed
from Celebes more than a year before.
with six Roman Catholic priests as pas.
sengers, bound for Spain, and had no
Lascars among her crew. And this
was all. And from that far-away time
until now the story of FL Frey Antonio
Is n Of the secrets of the deep.

The Canadian government investiga
tonS were of a still larger number Of

highest in strength. containing forty.

These figures are very Instructive to
the practical housekeeper. They indi
cate that the Royal Baking Powder
goes more than SO per cent. further in
use than the others, or is One-third
more economical. Still more important
than this, however. they prove THE
popular article has been brought to the
highest degree Of purity-for to its su
perlative purity this superiority in
strength is due-and consequently that
BY its use we may be insured the puresi
and most wholesome food.
The powders OF lower strength ara
found to leave large amounts of i'm

phasized by the report of the Ohio State
Food Commissioner, who. while find.

no other powder to contain less than 10
