AMERICAS EQUAL CHANCES
Illustrated in the Strange Experience
of Two Clerks in the PEN
sion Office.

That no form of government yet
adopted ny civilized man is more ben
efical to those who live under it than
that of the United States is instanced
in the daily life of every one. The
opportunities for every man to make
of himself what he will, providing ma
ture has endowed him with the brain
element of success, are greater in this
country than anywhere else on earth.
1t has never been questioned by stu
dents of the constitution, yet seldom
is such striking case discovered as
one in the pension bureau, says the
Washington Star.
Some so years ago a French refugee
landed on one of the islands of the
West Indies. where he set himself up
in business as a small planter. Success
attended his diligence, and he acquired
competence and number of slaves.
A few years prior to the civil war he
sold out his business and came to the
United States to make his home. One
slave whom he brought with him he
freed in Baltimore, securing for him an
occupation. After the death of the
Frenchman, who left a small family,
the negro continued to prosper along
the lines he had set for himself, rear
ing family and sending one son to
the war for the union. Two of the
sons of his old master also fought
for the flag in Maryland regiment.
After the war these young soldiers
settled down to retrieve their fortunes,
reduced by the conflict and enforced
neglect. 1t was a hard struggle, but
they did fairly we'll The sequel of
the story is this: To-day. at the same
work, in the same Office, a grandson
of the French refugee and a grandson
of the slave whom he freed in Balti-
more years ago are employed by the
government they helped to save, and
the story of their lives is known to
few, even of the clerks who work with
them. They are both rated as good
clerks, and the fact of their both being
there maintains the original state
ment of equal opportunities for all
men born under the banner of the
great republic.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely Different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: G) Min,
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bcne-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
1) Minerdl-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents a pound, and baking powder
ma with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 Csc. pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil OF
vitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion"
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask, boiled with
water and crystals Of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, 10
the only ingredient that should be used
in baking powder to act upon the
soda, as it's wholesomeness Is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to SO cents a
pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made Of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents Of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
| grapes.

CURVE LIGHT ON STARS.
Considerably at Different
Times.

There are certain stars which show
more or less conspicuous variations of
brightness. Among the 5000 easily visi-
BILE to the naked eye there are between
80 and 100 of which this is true; about
half dozen of them were known be-
fore 1900. If the telescope stars are in
cluded the number of known variables
is at least 1900, and this without taking
account of several hundred more which
have been detected in certain star clus-
ters within the last five or six years.
Ten years ago DR.. Chambers cata-
logue of variables included only about
800 objects. The roll is now increasing
with extreme rapidity, between 200 and
300 having been added within the last
II months. This swift growth is due
largely to the utilization of photography
which, through the comparison of
photographs of given portions of the
heavens taken at different times, con-
tinually brings out new variables.
When thus detected the astronomers
proceed to study them in detail with
photometers attached to their tele-
scopes, enabling them accurately to
compare the brightness of each suspect.
ed object from time to time with that
of its neighboring stars, and thus to de
termine the amount and character of Its
variation as represented by its so-called
light curve"

with money and position, and whose
father would have influence. She
couldn't love you any more than do,
but she might be better helpmeet for

"Tut, tut What kind of talk is all
this?"
Its the plain, simple truth. know
I'm not good enough for you; that I'm
not smart enough to be company for
you; that haven't the clothes to be a

Contested Titles.

Claimants of the various titles Of
nobility are common in England. Many
Of the peerages and lesser titles, with
their estates, have been bitterly con-
tested for years. The most picturesque
of these claimants in all English his
tory is said to be man who some time
ago made the claim that he was the
rightful Earl Poulett. To advertise his
claim the viscount, whose name is Hin
ton, prepared large sign stating his
claim, and, fastening this to hand
organ, made a tour of the streets Of
London He explained that this was
his only means of making living.

have come in and add their part to the
quaintness striven after.
Embroidered batiste is to be used
extensively, and will be liked particu-
larly for chemisettes and deep cuffs.
Hats of this material will be among
the lingerie headgear which is to
adorn maid and matron as perhaps
never before. 1t seems as if each sea-
son there is less and less difference
between the costume of child and
grown-up. Embroidered, washable
belts crept in last year, and this year
show more boldness, fill counters and
shelves.
Linen is to be very prominent as a
coat material, its vogue, of course, the
midsummer days. Long linen coats
are to be had, the trimming the omni-
present eyelet embroidery. Deep col
lars and cuffs give the plainest linen
suit pretty touch.

AZ nf
&WWLy we see spring hats crop
ESSez ping out, people are buying
summer stuffs. And of
these stuffs none meet with the ap-
proval given the Shantung pongees,
those rough, durable silks that come
to us from the Flowery Kingdom.
Suits and gowns are made of pom
gee, and at the watering places there
will be seen some white pongees of
much style and beauty. For motor
coat, travelling cloak, elaborate wrap
and simple, pongee makes appeal. The
design illustrated here is blue pom
gee trimmed with braid of the same
color. Mark the short sleeve with
turned back cuff and lace rufle, and
the small down-drooping hat. This
costume would be suitable for many
different kinds of social affairs, and,
minus the lace, would look trim for a
travelling frock.
Mohair, especially in the invisible
weaves, promises to be the thing for
outing wear Panama cloth, a cross
between canvas and wool, is advanc-
ing rapidly in esteem. The shops are
full of summer suits made of this ma
terial 1t is rather wiry and of sum-
mer weight
Little silk jackets, long silk wraps,
frivolous boleros, of silk will again be
fashionable, and interfere somewhat
with the reign of the one-piece suit.
The covert coat continues in style;
there is noticeable but little change In
this garment; the shoulder tritie
shorter, the bust trlfe higher, sleeves
maybe little fuller at the top.
With the new style hat for spring
the short veil will be more appropriate
than the long wound-about one or the
wide flying sort. Dots, which have
been so large all winter. may continue
their present size, but the prophecy is
the other way. 1t is little hard at
present to affirm what will and what
will not obtain.
With the return to the close-fitting
waist there returns the attempt to
bring into favor the princess evening
gown The gery deeply pointed Louis
XIV. bodice that came in early in the
winter, during the summer will hold
sway. even an exaggerated point in the
front has been noticed at one of the
best dressmaking shops. Old-fash-
ioned Powered organdies and silks

cealed in embroidery in different yell
golden-brown silk, gold thread
and dull yellow. The long cuffs are
trimmed in the same manner, the neck
is finished with the embroidery, the
puffs on the sleeves are very full. This
waist is to accompany suit of brown
voile, the whole an exquisite harmony of
browns and yellows.
The other waist is of white filmy
stuff, the trimming the revived bertha.
The bertha nowadays is not worn low,
however; if we do not adopt the
squared shoulders, we have gotten
away from the exaggerated droop at
the top of the sleeve.
Crepe de chine, which cleans easily
and is very beautiful material, is a
happy selection for one Of these waists.
A New York designer displayed one
lately of unusual attractiveness. 1t
was of twilight blue and trimmed with
embroidery of silver thread and blue
silk floss. 1t was made on the sur
plice style, with a chemisette of gauze
embroidered in silver, the long fitted
cuffs having the same decoration. An
other exquisite model was of the fash
| ionable conch-shell pink.
Two-piece negligees are shown for
summer wear, petticoats and loose
sacks. They are sometimes made Of
China silk, and challis, which is cheap
and very pretty, is frequently en-
ployed in this lounging costume. The
skirts do not trail, are made about
two inches from the ground; both skirt
and sack are much befrilled and be-
laced. Thin lawns would be very suit
able for hot weather wear.
Color combinations are above every
thing artistic, the stylish color
seems showed in the background by
really artistic sense of beauty. We
mention two of the new robes on view;
a simple suit of dull gray crepe de
chine, with chemisette of old yellow
embroidered batiste, a lingerie hat Of
yellow embroidery trimmed With dull
red roses; a costume of brown pom
gee with collar, cuffs and sleeve ruffle
of cream val, hat of brown corded
| silk.
