GOOD GOODS, WELL ADVERTISED

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking Pow
der Company is the largest advertiser in
America. OF course, the business itself
must be an enormous one to justify SO
great an expenditure in publicity. There
is no fallacy more dangerous than thai
success can be gained by advertising an
article OF Indifferent merit. But, given
an article of the highest quality like
Royal Baking Powder. which when the
housekeepsr has once used she finds If
she desires ths best food she cannot do
without, then the greatest measure of
success is attained by keeping it con-
tinually before the public. treat merit
and good advertising are both essential
to make produot great success. The

first, its proprietors have wisely used the
second, and the result is apparent through

Primitive Specimen Who Did Not
Know That the War Was
on Again.

"The war with Spain" remarked the
handsome drummer from Philadel-
phia, "may, as our statesmen and or
ators tell us, be u blessing in that it
has brought together once more in
fraternal union the two sections Of
the country split wide open by the
civil war, but while their speeches are
all right in a general way, they are
lacking in some Of the particulars.
For instance, two weeks ago / was
passing along a remote road in Mis-
sissippi. At the ford of a small stream
l met a man of about 30 years, who
was quite as primitive a specimen as
1 ever saw in my life. / asked him the
way to the place I was after, and, as
he was going the same way, 1 asked
him to join me, and we enlivened the
journey by conversation. Naturally,
the first thing 1 spoke about after
the preliminaries was the war, and
I said I didn't suppose he had been
in the fight.
"No,' he said, but my daddy wuz.'
allow did IL happen that he went
in and you didn't?' I asked.
"'I wuzn't born then, mister he
answered, looking at me as N 1 ought
to have known better than to ask such
a question.
"'Oh,' hastened to explain, when
caught onto what he was thinking
about, I don't mean the last war be-
tween the north and the south, but
the one that has been on this summer.
'Gewhillikins,' he exclaimed, has
ther' been another warp
"'Of course there has said, laugh
ing at his surprise and his ignorance.
"'Well, I'll be derned,' he said, after
giving himself n moments thought;
it do seem like ez ef we never
would git them dang Yankees licked
plumb right; don't it?'
'Then it took me a minute to COM
prehend clearly what was in the
mind Of this far-away, unreconstruct-
ed southerner, and when did never
let on that he was mistaken in his
facts and conclusions, but jollied him
along for mile down the road, when
he turned off into the woods and left

EDUCATED FEET.
Some HindOO Trndesmen Make Coed
Use OF Their Pedal Ex-
tremities.

The French ethnologist, Prof. +.
Regnault, has made special studies in
the far east in regard to the ability
of the Hindoos to make use of their
feet as auxiliaries of their hands.
This ability is particularly noticeable
when one watches Hindoo tradesmen
ht their work. The carpenter employs
his feet as q wise and as a gauge; the
shoemaker holds the shoe between his
feet, leaving both his hands free to
work upon it,; the Hindoo butcher
holds a knife between the big and the
second toe and cuts his meat by draw
ing it across the knife and pressing
1t down with both hands. The help
of the feet is most valuable in weav-
ing, and it is a wonderful thing to us
to see a Hindoo artisan use both his
hands and his feet in handling his
loom. Regnault also observed a child
climbing a tree and grasping the
branches of the tree between the two
first toes of either foot whenever a
bold could thus be secured.
This collaboration of the feet with
the hands, it would seem, is the re-
suit of several changes in the physi-
cal development which the Hindoo
race has undergone in the course Of
time through outward agencies.
Their hip joints are much freer and
more timber than ours, and will per-
NIT them to squat on the ground and
at the same time approach the feet so
near to their hands that they can
grasp with their feet the work in
hand, and hold it with some expense
of strength. The ankle joint is also
timber, and works freely, and the big
toe is more developed and can be
moved by them at will as regards
its bending and stretching, its sep
arating from and approaching toward
the second toe.
The normal foot of the Hindoo
shows n large space between the big
toe and the second; this. however, is
due solely to their wearing sandals
which are held in place by wooden
peg placed between these two toes
The constant muscular exercise prac-
ticed in holding the sandals naturally
tends to strengthen these toes, and the
use of the feet being a general custom
and tried even by children of the ten
derest age. has gradually changed the
Hindoo anatomy.-Philadelphia Rec

Rough Experience Related by a.,
Major in Seeking for Gen.
Ludlow.

The major had done his work well.
During the fight around Caney, his du-
ties led him several times into the
Jaws Of hell as he says, and he went
in-not without finching. for the ma
jor is frankfurt he went in. Once be
was sent with a guard Of five troopers
TO find Gen. Ludlow.
"The bullets in one lane were like
hail" said the major. 'Don'tgo down
there, sir said soldier. You'll be
killed. Gen. Ludlow is back there

Where is Gen. Ludlow l said to a
soldier. Gen. Ludlow he said, and

he fell dead. was sent to another
place, and another, and couldn't find

Colonel I said, I've been looking for
Gen. Ludlow for two hours, and can't

I'm not married myself, and of course

them. / don't want to risk their lives

STOCK YARDS CANES.
croois-Handled HicI<orieH Affected by
the Hnbitues OF That Dis
trict I'm Chicago.

One of the curious sights at the
stock yards Is the peculiar style of
cane or walking stick affected by those
whose daily business takes them into
that great live stock mart. The real
stock yards cane Is n stick Of polished
hickory. with large and ample crook
at the end TO meet the requirements Of
the huge and bony hands of the most
stalwart ranchman. These canes APP
parently are not made from saplings
with the bark removed and a crook
put upon the end, but from solid strips
OF hickory wood shaved and nodded
into the proper shape. They are from
three-quarters TO an inch in diameter
in the thickest part and without any
artificial stain or attempt at decora-
tion.
In no other part Of the city will you
see them carried or offered for sale.
But when taking trolley ride you will
certainly begin TO notice them as soon
rs you come anywhere within the
radius of the stock yards district.
They are carried by ranchmen, droy-
ers, shippers from the country, snles-
men and commission men of the yards.
II is probable they are more for
practical use than for ornament. They
seem well suited TO the purpose Of
punching fat hogs and lazy steers In
the pens when the animals arc being
exhibited 70 prospective buyers. And
then the crook on the end Is big
enough to admit of holding a recall
citrant sheep very handily by 1t. The
stock yards cane is, therefore, IN in
stitution in itself, and If you want to
see how gracefully it is carried and
to what good uses It may be put take
ride out Halsted street and over
among the pens.-Chicago Chronicle.
