BAKING ECONOMY

By the use of perfect baking powder the
housewife can derive as much economy as
from any other article used in baking and
cooking. In selecting a baking powder,
therefore, care should be exercised to pur-
chase one that retains its original strength
and always remains the same, thus making
the food sweet and wholesome and produc-
ing sufficient leaveRing gas to make the
baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, max
ing it necessary to use double the quantity
ordinarily required to secure good results.
In using Calumet Baking Powder you
are bound to have uniform bread, cake or
biscuits, as Calumet does not contain any
cheap, useless or adulterating ingredients
so commonly used to increase the weight.
Further, it produces pure, wholesome food
and is baking powder of rare merit;
therefore, is recommended by leading ply
sicians and chemists. 1t complies with all
pure food laws, both STATE and Ma
TIONAL. The. goods are moderate in
price, and any lady purchasing Calumet
from her grocer, if not satisfied with it can
return it and have her money refunded.

Diet of the Old.

A sane diet for person of 20 or rs
should be made up largely of vege-
tables and fruit. some fish. some eggs,
a little meat and simple cereals, if
there is no inclination toward obesity
Drinking with ones meals is not
considered advisable, especially as IL
guilds are apt to wash down the food
before it is properly masticated. Two
quarts of water, or more, should be
taken between meals, however, during
the day. Hot water is especially good
for one who does not exercise much,
as it Pushes out the entire system.
Stimulants, such as tea and coffee,
should not be very strong

A Water Telescope.

Perhaps some of the boys living on
the seacoast may be pleased to know
how a water telescope, such as the
Norwegian fishermen use to ascertain
the position of herring shoals, is con-
structed.
Procure tube made of tin and
funnel shaped, about 81 feet long
and 10 inches in diameter at the larg-
er end. 1t should be wide enough at
the top to take in the observers eyes.
and the inside should be painted
black. At the bottom, or wide end,
a clear. thick piece of glass must be
inserted, with little lead in the
form of ring to weight the tube.
When the instrument is immersed
in clear water it is astonishing how
many fathoms down the observer can
see.

Unfortunately. that night Browns
wife returned late from the opera.
She saw the rare wine and had 1t put
down in the wine cellar along with the
twelve dozen other bottles of Chateau
YQuem that Brown had laid In.
Brown is wondering to this day
which two bottles are the drugged
ones. He has stopped drinking Chat

his whole stock of it is for sale at a
reasonable price"

had not had his fill of fighting and
again rushed to the attack, swapping
savagely at several people who tried
to restrain him. After the second at
tack all efforts to separate the two
dogs were fruitless, and the battle be-
tween them ragged fiercer than ever.
Water was dashed over the dogs,
but it had no effect. At length, after
nearly everything in two rooms had
been ruined the dogs were separated

The damage done in the fight will

SAVES HIS FATHERS BODY
Dream Leads Son to Dismembered
Corpse on Dssecting Table in
Medical College.

New Orleans, La.-After a search of
more than five months for his father,
William A. Balastier, a survivor of the
confederate army, Harry Balastier
was led by dream to the medical
department of Tulane university to be
confronted with the disnembered
body of the elder man on the dissect-
ing table. Students were gathered
around the board, and the head was
in an upright position. Balastier gath
cred the portions together and the fu-
neral took place.
William Balastier dropped out of
sight June 2. The son dreamed that
his father had been killed and eaten
by cannibals. Taking this as a clew,
he secured the aid of detectives and
learned that the old man had died in
the Charity hospital, and following the
usuai custom the unclaimed body had
ben sent to the medical college.

Fifth Avenue.

New York.-Bour hundred worship
pers were attending vespers in ST
Patrick's cathedral at Fifth avenue
and Fiftieth street when Charles
Schlecter, a former inmate of a Phila-
delphia sanatorium, rushed shrieking
up the main aisle from the Fifth ave
nue. entrance with Mounted Policeman
Plagge in close pursuit.
Only few minutes before the man
had blocked Fifth avenue in front of
the Hotel buckingham by his strange
antics. Raising his hands in prayer
he poured forth a supplication in Ger
man and broken English.
When Schlecter saw the policeman
he made a dash for the cathedral.
Under his arm he carried a new pair
of shoes. AS he neared the altar he
cast the shoes from him and they fell
with a thud at the rail.
There was general movement
among the worshippers, but the up
raised hand of Right Rev. Mgr. La
velle, who was conducting the serv-
ices, prevented further alarm He
never moved from his place at the
altar
The maniac swung to the right and
darted through a side door into Fiji
tieth street and across to the Bucking-
ham hotel. shrieking at every step.
The monsignor then continued the
services, unheeding the tumult out
side. All of the worshippers re-
manned.
Schlecter entered the hotel and had
just gained the main lobby when
Plagge bounced upon him.
Then ensued a terrific struggle
Schlecter. who is more than six feet
tall, proved himself giant in strength
He fought the policeman the length of
the lobby and they rolled out into
Fiftieth street and then down a stair
way to the basement. He sank his
teeth in the policeman's left hand and
in his arm. 1t took four men to over
power him.

obliged to suspend operations recently
on account of herd OF six intoxicat-

approach the cider mill. The deer had
gotten into an old shed where the
cider was stored, drank to their

several bushels of apples. The ami

Stamps of German pomestics

Each week there is pasted in the
little blank book that every servant
girl in Germany must possess a post
age stamp to the value of about five
cents.
This stamp is a donation, compul-
sorry under the German law, which the
mistress must afford the servant.
Should the girl fall i'll, the stamps are
redeemed by the government, or the
servant may retain the stamps indef1-
nitely until, when she has attained a
ripe old age, the government pays her
a premium for them.-The Sunday
