Royal Baking Powder is the purest
and highest in strength of any of the
baking powders, and hence makes
more, finer and better food. These
are the official facts as set forth by
the U. S. Government and the various
State Chemists reports. OF course
great efforts will be made by those
interested in the sale of the cheaper
made, alum powders, to continue their
sale where consumers have made up
their minds to have the Royal and call
for it at their grocers. The Royal
Powder is so much superior to all the
other preparations for quick raising.
that it will amply repay housekeepers
to use the necessary persistency to
procure it in spite of all objections.

BUILDING A CIRCUS TRAIN.
Big Cars and One of Con-
struction for the Elephant.

Big Cars and One of Peculiar Con-
struction for the Elephant.
The Memphis car and foundry works
is building a circus train of six ears,
which, when completed, will make a
train as long as two ordinary trains
of that size, says the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal. There is one elephant
car and five fiat cars in the course of
construction. This would be nothing
remarkable if six freight cars or even
twelve freight or box cars were being
built, but these cars are unusual in
every way. They are nearly twice as
long as the ordinary cars, and the
tilnbers and the iron bars are much
heavier in every respect.
The main timbers for these big cars
are brought here from Brunswick, Ga.
They are sixty feet long and it takes
three fiat cars to haul them. There
are very few mills fitted to turn out
such timbers. They are sawed on con-
tract the required thickness and
shipped to the car works, where they
are dressed and fitted to their place
by powerful machinery. The wood is
of the Southern ~long-leafed pine and
is very tough and stout. The stills, for
such these great timbers are, measure
respectively 5x9 and 6X9. The arch
bars are 11x4, where they are usually
only 1X3 ID. The comparative dimen-
| sions could be carried all the way
through.
The elephant car is remarkable in
| yet other ways. This animal is said
not to be savage but of an inquiring
| mind. He wants to know what is go
ing on without and he frequently
| thrusts his trunk through and rips
| open the side of a car and views the
landscape at his will until the keeper
| can have him more securely closed in.
The builders flatter themselves that
Jumbo's kin will not let himself out
of this car. 1t is eighty feet clear on
the inside and is fifty feet long. Its
sides are of double thickness. The
outer wall is of cypress and the inner
of smoothly dressed oak. There is
not a bolt head nor a bar that ne can
| get hold of to twist out with his
trunk. The barred windows are GOV
cred with wrought iron bars that are
fastened under the walls with bolts.

Franz von Suppe, the composer who
died at Vienna the other day at the
age Of seventy-fve years, was best
known by the "Poet and Peasant"
overture, which has probably figured
in more piano-thumping than any 9TH

also the author of the familiar light
operas "Boccaccio and "Fatinitza,"
and he contributed much to the enjoy
ment Of those who are candid enough
to say that they prefer simple melo.

SEA LAWYERS.
They Are the Bane of the Ship Conn
Life.

mander's Life.
'"The chief of all things on earth a
sea captain breads is the sea lawyer"
said an old, gray-haired commander.
1.-The typhoon of the China sea and
the hurricane of the West Indies the
bad, but they are not in it for raising
a rumpus with the sea lawyer.
1.-The fellow l refer to as the sea
lawyer is the one or more sailors al
most sure to creep into every fore
castle at one time or another, who,
being little better educated than his
mates, becomes their leader and pro-
ceedS to make himself solid with them
and a deadly enemy of the captain
and officers by quoting maratime laws
to them that never existed and filling
their heads with nonsense and mag
mary wrongs. He'll tell them they
must have plum duff every day. ac-
cording to law, and they'll believe
him and raise cain if they don't get
it. He will persuade them they are
worked too hard. and every man Jack
of them will desert the ship at her
first port of call. He will make them
believe they own the vessel before he
gets half through with them, and will
instigate a half-dozen or more dam
age suits against the ships owners
among them as soon as they set foot
ashore.
THE "Sea LAWYER is generally q
sneaky fellow, who makes a steady
practice of d%eceiving honest sailors
and getting them into trouble and then
leaving them to get as best they
can. He is hated and dreaded by
every sea captain atioat, and there is
only one way to argue with him-that
is with a Delaying pin. l have known
more than one bloody mutiny to be
stirred up by a sea lawyer "-Balti-

An Electric GoId-Dredge Plant.

An interesting account has been re-
ceived of the application of water
power in producing electricity for use
in gold dredging in Shotover river,
New Zealand. The water is obtained
at a creek one and a half miles dis
tant from the dredging ground, and
brought by a rae cut in the side of a
hill, or, in places where the ground is
not suitable. in a timber fiume to a
pressure tank at a level of 524 feet
above the pipes at the generator
house. From the tank the water is
carried in 1olled steel pipes to a Pei
ton water wheel, which drives the
dynamos by which the dredge is actu-
ated. The dredge is constructed for
the most part of steel, and is capable,
when operating at a depth of twenty
feet, of an output of ninety cubic
yards per hour. 1t is worked at night
by the light of arc lamps. The dredg-
ings are delivered through a revOlv-
ing screen for separating the stones
and coarser material, upon baize ia
bles set at an inclination of one in
twelve. The cost of the installation
was $4,000, and the weekly working
expenses are $175.
