Will Have a Big Day.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton is figuring on big day for some
time in September. The idea has been
held uppermost for some time by the
association that it must have build
ing suitable for the work, which it has
not had since it's organization here. In
order to give the proper impetus to the
start Mr.. Mcintosh is arranging for a
big association day to be held some
Saturday evening and all day the fol-
lowing Sunday, at which prominent
workers in the organization are to be
present and take part in the eXercies.
Among those to be invited will be State
Secretary l. E. Brown, Of Illinois; State
Secretary F. E. Anderson, of Wiscon-
sin; C. B. Willis, general secretary of
Milwaukee, and j. M. Whitehead, of
GAINESVILLE. Others may be added to
this list later on.
Architect G.. A. Dickhaut is now at
work on the sketches for the plans of
the proposed building. A building
worth $4,000 or more will be erected
if the money can be raised.

Two Negroes subterranean Swim.

Word comes from Tallahassee, Fla.
of a miraculous escape Of two negro
fishermen from a horrible death. In
that section there is a creek that disap-
pears in the ground, then flows under a
high mound, and at a distance Of over
half a mile reappears with added force,
and volume. This is a great fishing
place, and scores Of negroes are found
fishing at the upper end Of the tunnel at
any time. Last week while a party Of
twelve men were there two Of them,
Bill Brooks and Josh Gill, fell into the
water and were almost instantly
whirled into the underground creek by
the swift current. Their Mortified COM
panions tried to rescue them, but in
vain, and they were swept away. The
party hastily rushed to the lower end
of the land where the creek reappearS
and waited to recover the bodies.
Shortly both negroes shot through,
feebIy struggling in the swift current,
showing Slight signs of life. Several
men plunged in and brought them to
shore, and they were worked over Tor
an hour before they were out Of dan
ger. This is the first time that such
an escape has been made. The negroes
regard it as special act Of Providence,
and revival meetings have been started
there by preachers.

Rosebery.s Cure For sleeplessness.

The British Weekly tells how Lord

soon as the story about my sleepless-
ness appeared in the newspapers I

seemed the easiest cure and resolved
to give it a trial Since then have

-Wheelmen and wheelWomen have
rights! Of course they have, but they
must bear in mind that other people
have rights also. They have right to
ride their wheel in any position or in
any decent costume they may wish.
They have right to pass any person
or vehicle on the street unobstructed
and unmolested, but, when they claim
that right they must observe the other
fellows rights in the case; they must
keep to the right and pass on the left
of the person or vehicle they meet. Any
person has the right to walk on any
crosswalk at any time, and it is the
duty of the party on the wheel to use
all due care and diligence not to inter-
fere with the pedestrian. 1t would be
wise, it would be safe, if every person
on wheel would slow up and take
extra care when nearing a crOSsWalk in
the evening. By SO doing mishaps and
serious accidents would be avoided.

How Indians Made Maple Sugar.

Ever since the Indians in the section now
known as Fletcher discovered Honey" in
themaple trees that district has been known
far and wide rs the heart of the Vermont
maple sugar country The way the red man
extracted the delicious compound was some
what slow as compared with the present
process. He used to cut n slanting cash in
the bark and insert in the lower end a
gauge shaped piece Of wood, from which
the sap ran and dropped into a poplar or
Eastwood trough Attic end Of the season
these troughs would be set up against the
trees and left until the following season, by
which time the troughs would be thorough
ly widowed
This materially added to the flavor of the
aboriginal sugar, but can hardly be said to
have improved it. The evaporator of those
times consisted Of an iron kettle swung
from sapling bent over a stump. BY
slow and tedious process the sap was
first heated and then boiled in this kettle,
often taking two or three days boiling be
fore it could be sugared off This was the
way in which the redskins and the early
Nermonters eked out 'sweetnin" to their

As matter Of useful information it
may be stated that whenever a cooking
receipt calls for a baking powder the
"Royal " should be used. The receipt
will be found to work better and surer.
and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes,
dumplings, crusts, puddings, crullers or
whatever made will be produced sweeter,
lighter, finer favored, more dainty, pal
atable and wholesome. Besides the
ROYAL" will go further or has greater
leavening power, and is therefore more
economical than any other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream OF tartar and soda. the old
fashioned way OF raising. Modern cook
ing and expert cooks do not sanction this
old way. In all such receipts the Royal
Baking Powder should be substituted
without fail.
The greatest adopts in the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal only,
and the authors OF the most popular
cook books and the teachers OF the sue.
cessful cooking schools, with whom the
best results are imperative, are careful
to impress their readers and pupils with
the importance OF its exclusive employ
ment.
The Royal Baking Powder is the great
est help OF modern times to perfect cook
ing, and every receipt requiring a quick
raising ingredient should embody it.
