What is
Cream Tartar?

When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making fermcnts, the acid of
the fruit is crystallized and prccipitatcd. This
is collected, refined to absolute purity, and
ground to powder. This is cream of tartar.
Fruit acids among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of lcaven-
ing agencies and most heathful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape, or
cream of tartar, is the material from which
Royal Baking Powder is made. 1t is many
times more expensive than ingredients used in
many baking powders, but being hcalthul in
itself, it adds hcathfulness to the food instead
of degrading it.

NATCHITOCEIES, LOUISIANA THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1895
Equal to Occasions.

LORD Wbitworth, who held various
posts of honor in English diplomatio
circles, was a kindly, gracious gentle
man as we'll as wit and a man Of the
world. He had indeed almost measured
swords with Napoleon at the Tuileries
when that despot rallied at England for
not having evacuated Egypt and Malta,
accused her OF having violated treaties
and ended by fourishing a cane Danger
ously near the face Of the English en-
bassadoY.
Lord Whitwortn put his hand on the
hilt Of his sword.
"What would you have done if the
emperor had struck YOU" he was after
ward asked.
Il would have feIled him to the
ground, was the quiet answer.
Perhaps the best story ~uld Of Eipl is
one showing how his quick wit disposed
of a rival. When be was at the Russian
court, Fox sent there as a sort Of en-
bassadJr of his own man named Adair,
the son Of surgeon.
One day the empress, speaking in
French, said to Lord Whitwor;h:
''Is he very important man, this
M. Addir?"
"NCt so very, madame, " replied Lord
Whitworth, "although his father was
grand saiGneur a remark which read
ers Of French will recognize as a very
good pun, for the word us used by Lord
Whitworth means "blood letter." while
by its sound it also meant great lord.

showing signs of turbulsnce, ard Long
John knew that the police force WAS
totally unable to cope with it it there
should be "a riot. There wasn't much Of
any police force in those days The few
officers that there were didn have any

front of this was a semicirCle Of tin.
with the man s number on it.
There was no money to pay for ad-
ditional officers, 30 Long John be-
thought himself Of bright scheme He
had figure 90 added to the number on
every one of those hats On election
day the different members Of the force
were stationed conspicuously where the
trouble was most likely to break out.
The roughs saw the numbers, '250
300, $50, etc, where they had be-
foro seen only '25, 80 and 'S5. The
word went around that Long John had
added several hundred men to the po-
lice force, and the tough crowd were so
intimidated that they never dared to do
a thing -

All animals, even ths Widest, can be
subjected in some way to the dominion
OF man and be GomesticG;ed to some ex-
tent. Here, for instance, are two very
curious facts about cats Many persons,
including come Of our greatest natural
lists, believe that our English domestic
cat is descended from the Egyptian do
mestic cat. Yet all records go to prove
that the cats of Egypt lived il droves.
were cared for in droves, were fed in
dro7es and worshiped in droves, with
the result that Egyptian cats never got
domesticated or became half as intelli-
gent as ours.
The like truth is suggested from In
dia, where monkeys are worshiped.
These are allowed to become nuisances.
They are fed and they have any amount
of liberty, and what is the consequence?
They never lcse their innate savagery.
The method of caring for them has been
wrong. All the devotion ard care ex-
pended on them are practically wasted,
and if we treated our cats in the same
fashion as the Indians Go these monkeys
they would become just as wild and un-
domesticated. -Cassell's Magazine.
