A careful sifting ot the evidence leaves no doubt as to the superiority of tho Royal Baking Powder in purity, wholesome eess and strength, from a scientific standpoint. An opinion, however, that will have perhaps greater Influence with our practical housekeeper?, is that ziven by Marlon Harland, tho well known and popular writer upon matters pertaining to the science ot domestic economy, ot housekeeping! and ot homo cooking, in a letter puoiisuea in uie Philadelphia Ladies' Home Journal, this writer says: "I regarc the Royal Baking Powder as the best manufactured aud in the market, so far as I have any exorience In the use oi such compounds.

CHAPTEK XVIll. COKCMTSIOS. Too late!" Just as Beatrice Meroor hurried toward the house again the words emanated from tho shrubbery neur tho pit, and the speaker stepped into view. It was Raymond Marshall, but not the Raymond Marshall ot a few days previous. Hope, joy, excitement illuminated his radiart faoe; horror, too, shadowed it as he glanced after the disappearing plotter. Then he drew into the open space another form. "She meant murder. Oh", cruel! era 1! How can she bo so heartless? And I loved her, trusted her as a Bi&ter." "Courasre, Edna," spoke Marshall. "The faithful Bruno led ova here in time, it seems, to rescue you. iou believe me now that this woman de ceived me into that marriage, a farce that cannot dim our love, though it may part us In this world?" "UU, Kaymond, let me teavo wis ter rible pla.-el" Yes, I will take you DacK to uie farm-house. Then to return and learn the meaning ot this woman being here. Wait! Some one else is coming. " He had been led to the spot by the clever Bruno not t9n minutes previous, had discovered Edna in the pi';, had res cued her. and now both shrans into the shrubbery again as two forms crossed the garden. The steward ana tne nouses neper, re turned from the village, their wordH reaching the ears of the listening Raymond Marshall caused him to start violently, for they were discussing Beatrice Mercer. Creeping nearer to them, within two minutes a hint, a word revealed to Ray mond Marshall's quick mind a marvelous suggestion. He guessed at tne trutn now. xms dark schemer, Beatrice, had assumed Edna Deaue's name aud place. Her plots, her sudden wealth, her strange movements all verified the surmise. For a few moments he relieoteu. Then, as the two people entered the house, he took Edna's arm, and led her towards its open front portals. lhrough tuo windows oi a ungnuy lighted apartment he could soe an old man reclining in an Invalid's chair, and near to mm sat his pretenaea uaugnter. Beatrice Mercer. Without a word ot explanation to the shrinking Edna, fired with the f.eal of a confident; discovery, Raymond Marshall entered the house. A wild cry rang from Beatiiee Mer-es-r's lips, and Mr. Ralston stared wonderingly at the intruders as Marshall and his trembling companion abruptly entered the room. "Alice Edna!" exclaimed the invalid; "who are these people?" "Alice? Edna?" repeated Marshall, eagerly. "Is that tho name she gives herself? Pardon me, sir, but I have intruded here bemuse I deem it a duty to unmask that woman yonder. That woman my daughter!" exclaimed Ralston, indignantly bhe is not your daughter. Mercer, your plots are known. I will tell my story." White as marble Beatrice Beatrice bllenee! : Mirauh bask as in forcible, emphatic words ; Raymond Marshall, senttnee by sen- : tence, reveaioa nis suspicions. ; lorcea nerto assent xo nis surmises; ne j Compelled Udna to letato tter Story. With a look of anger at the woman who had deceived him, with a lovinj glance at the timid Edna, when all had been explained and made elear, Mr. Ralston j opened his arms to nis real daughter. "i'es, yes, it is true!" he murmured, "She has her sainted mother's face, Oh! how could 1 be so deceived? As to you "Yes, as to me," cried the baffled Beatrice, scornfully. "I am unmasked! So be it; but I still have the power to rule. I know your secret j'ou, an escaped convict. You will be glad to silence my lips with half your fortune, or I betray a'.L" Balaton paled and shuddered. At that moment the door opened, however. An emaciated form crossed the room. "Rodney!" cried Mr. Ralston, amazed. It was the messenger he had sent for Edna to the Hopedale seminary, the man who had seemingly perished at the broken bridge. "Yes, It is f," replied Rodney. "Miraculously escaped death; just recovered from my illness attending exposure and injury, and in time to refute what that impostor says, for I overheard her words and your own. Ralston, light has come at last! The man for whose crimes you suffered imprisonment is dead; and, dying, he has confessed all and cleared your name from every taint of tfuilt!" "On, thank heaven!" cried Ralston, fervently. "At lastt at last! AliceEdna, my darling child, nt last I can offer you an honored name, a loving home! " "May you be happy!" sneered Beatrice, malevolently. "I am baffled, beaten at every point except one, it seems. Raymond Marshall, remember that the law gives me your name! You are my husband. That is more to me than the honor of being an ex-convict's daughter or a wealthy heiress!" "So be ic!" spoke Raymond Marshall solemnly. "In name I am ye ur husband, but Edna Dcnne or Alice Ralston has my love till death. Fear not: 1: shall not bring reproach on her fair name by remaining near her until the law annuls a fraudulent marriage. Edna, I must hasten to your friends, tha Blakes, and tell them that you are safe. They are very anxious about you. To-morrow I will come to see that you are safe and happy, and then I leave you to battle this woman for my rights." He passed from the house as he spoke. His heart was happy, despite the complications that evil plotters had cast about his life. I say, old fellow! uttered a maudlin tone, as he neared the roa l outfide the mansion grounds. Well, what is Jt7" demanded Mar shall, regarding curiously the swaying, shabby form of a half -intoxicated man near the wall. "Can you direct me? Looking for the way into this plaee, after a a triend a lady friend. You see Mercy! Tho minister! With a start, Raymond Marshall sur veyed the man before him. CoUd it be possible? Yes; despite tho vivid con trast between tnose two times, tne ragged, intoxicated tramp before him was certainly tbe well-dressed, sednteloodlng clergyman who had performed the marriage "ceremony between himself and Beatrice at the Hopedale hot el. What did it mean? A wild thrill per vaded his frame at the man's next words. "You acquainted here? Well, I'm looking for a a girl I've traced here, Beatrice Mercer, Oh! I'm sharp, I am! A hundred dollars! Humph! a man can't afford to play minister for a measly hundred dollars! She's rich. I've traced her. Bet I get a thousand, to shut my lips, or I tell all I know."

The longest swim ever made without the aid of nrtilicinl help, such as I if preservers, life suits, etc., was made by Sauiuol Brock, a Yarmouth iEiik land) bnachman, the night of Oct. 14. 1815, says tho St. Louis Republic. On tho afternoon of the 14th lirock had noticed a ship at sea signaling for pilot. He, in compeny with nine other seamen, started for the vessel in tho yawl Increase. At 4 o'clock they came up alongside the ship, which proved.to ok ine npnnisn urig i n luetie uo jiiiuoa A pilot and threo henchmen were put on board and the Increase then headed for shore, which was twelve miles dis tnnt. At 6:30 o'clock, when the nearest land was six miles off, a squall sunk too increaso ana drowned :ul on board oxcopt Brock, rrom tho way that flood-tide was beating off thore it be c&me evident to tho man in the water that if he ever did mannse to reach the land alive ho would have to swim about fifteen miles in a roundabout way. swell sea drove him out over Cross-sand rMge before tho 9 o'clock bell tolled at St. Nicholas' gate, and it was a long two hours and a half later before the nearly exhausted swimmer caught sight oi tne Dell and Unlit buovs themselves. It was now nearly midnight, and Broi'k had been in the chilly water about five hours. Within the next hour he sighted a vessel at anchor, and by an almostsuperhuman effort managed to get witnin about two hundred yards, when he hailed tho lookout. A boat was lm nieditti ly lowered.and the half-drowned man taken on board. The vessel prove! to be ihe Betsy, of Sunderland, and her place of anchornee about sixteen and three-quarter miles from where the In eriase capsized. Thus it was proved tlm; Brock had made the remarkable dlMtanoe of nearly seventeen miles in seven and a half hours on that chilly vetooer n gnt. They Quoted HI Own Poetry to Him. The Rev. Mr. Hawels tells a coo;! story of Oliver Wendell Holmes. He says: "At a reception given to Canon Forrar at the Hotel Brunswick. Boston. I found myself clo?e to Oliver Wendell Holmes.

As the train pulled up tne youngest gin oiusneii, iiattenea ncr nose nervously against the window, and arew Da?K in joyous smiles as a young man came dashing into the carriage shook hands cordially and tenderly, in sisted on carrying her valise, magazine, little paper bundle, and woul I probably nave carried ner nati she permitted him, The passengers smiled as she left, nnri the murmur went rippling through the carriage: "l hey re engaged. The other girl sat looking nervously out of the window, and once or twice gathered her parcels together as though she would leave, yet teemed to be expecting some one. At last lie came. He bulged into tho door like a house on fire, looked along the seats until his manly gazo fell on her upturned expectant face, roared, "tome on! I've been waiting for you on the platform for fifteen minutes!" grabbed her basket, and strode out of ihe carriage, while she followod with a little valise, a band-box, a paper bag full of lunch, a bird-cage, u glass jar of jelly preneives, an extra shawl. Aud a crusty-looking old bachelor in the farther end of tho carriage croaked out, in unison with tho indignant looks of tho passengers: "They're married!"

From Maine to Connecticut the country is dotted with savingsbanks, and the hulk of the vast insurance wealth of the I'ni m is owned there. Tom Reed tells a story of a Nebraska farmer who, traveling through Maine, happened to stop at ' little house hanging from the side of a roeky hill, which constituted the farm. During his stay he made many cutting criticisms upon the character ot the soil, nnd asked Ihe fanner why he did not go West, where the farm land was so rich that you could thrust your arm into it. up to your shoulders, and pull from tho bottom dir. as rich as guano.

HE WAS BURNED ALIVE.

AWFUL PUNISHMENT OP NEGRO MONSTER. Ti.r.ure.1 with RhiI-IIiiI Irons and Thru Coiuuninl by FireTen Thousand People tint her at Paris, Teitw, lu Wltnen thu Fearful Proceedings. A Fearful Kille. Henry Smith, tho Paris iTex.) negro who tlrst abused then killed 1-yoar old Myrtle Vance, has expiate 1 in part hU awful crime by death at the stake. Ever since the perpetration of his awful crime the city and entire surrounding country has been in a wild frenzy of e ; citeinent. When the news came that he had been captured near Hope, Ark., that he had been Identified by B. li. Sturgeon, James T. Hicks n,id many others of the Paris searching party, the city was wild with joy over the apprehension of the brute. Hundreds oi people poured into tbe city f om the adjoining country, and Ihe word pnseed from lip to lip tha', the punishment of the fiend should lit the crime that death by fire was the penalty Smith should pay. The curious and sympathetic alike came on train and wagons, on horse and on foot, to see if the frail mind of mind could think of away to sufficiently punish the perpetrator of so terrible a crime. Whisky shops were closed, unruly mobs were dispersed, schools were dismissed by a proclamation from the Mayor, and everything was done in a business-like manner. Officers saw the futility of any effort to quell the almost riot. So law was laid aside, and the citizens took into their own hands the inhun an beast and burned him at the stako. Never before since the days of tho Spanish inquisition, when cruelty was law, has there been such terrible punishment ir.nted out to any man; but so horrible was the crime. In Its magnitude f-o inhuman and so ghastly, that the punishment Infiiet d upon him was infinitely small in comparison. Ho was brought through Tex ar'.; an a, where 5,001) people awaited Ihe train, anxious to see a man who should receive the fate of Ed Coy. At that place speeches were made by prominent Paris citizens, who asked that the prisoner be not molested by Toxarkiina people, but that tho guard be allowed to deliver him up to the outraged and indignant citizens of Paris. Arriving in Paris, the train was met by a surging mass of humanity 10,001) strong. Tho necro was escorted through the city so that all might see the most inhuman mon ster knowi in current history. Smith was placed upon a scaffold six feet square and ten foot high, securely bound, within view of all the beholders. Tortured by Ked-Hot Iriii. Here the victim was tortured for fifty minutes by red-hot iron brands thrust aenlnst his Quivering body. Commenc ing at the feet the brands were pla.ed against him Inch by inch until they were thrust against tho face. Then, being apparently dead, kerosene w.is poured upon him, eottonste l hulls placed beneath hlui and set on lire. In less time than it takes to relate it ihe torluroi man was wafted beyond the grave to another tire hotter and more terrible than the one just experienced. The cause or the crime was tnat Hen ry Vance when a deputy polleemt.n in the course of his duly was called to arrest Henry Smith for being drunk and disorderly. The negro was unruly and Vance was forced to use h's club, the neuro swore venccance and several times assaulted Vance. In his greed for revenge he last Thursday grabbed up the little girl and committed the assault, then tore the child limb from limb. The father is prostrated with griof and tho mother lies at death's door, but she lived to see the slaver of her innocent babe suffer the most horrible death that could bo conceived. The negro for a long time alter starl ing on the journey to Paris did not realize his plight. At last when told he must die by slow torture he begged tor protection. What protection could he get with thousands of people from Hope to Paris demanding his life? He was. willing to be shot and wanted Marshal Shanklin, ot Paris, to shoot him. Ht! pleaded and writhed in bodily nnd mental pain In anticipation. Scarcely hal the train reached Paris than this torture commenced. His clothes wtre lorn ott piecemeal and scattered in the crowd, poople catching the shreds and putting them away as mementos. The child':; father, her brother and two uncles then gathered about the negro as he lay fastened to the torture platform and thrust the hot irons into his quivering flesh. livery groan from the fiend, every contortion of his body, was cheered by the thickly packed crowd of 10,001) peo ple. Aftor burning the feet and legs tho hot Irons were rolled up and down Smith's stomach, back and arms. Then the eyes wero burned out and irons wore thrust down his threat. Tho mu of the Vance family having wieaked vengeance, the crowd piled all kinds ot combustible stuff around the scaffold, ured oil on it and set it a'ire. The neero rolled and wriggled and tossed out of the mass only to bo pushed back by the people nearest him. He tossed out again and was roped and pulled ba?k. Hundreds of people turned away, but the vast crowd still looked calmly on. Every train that came in was loaded to its utmost capacity, and there were demands at many points for special trains to bring people to see the j uniehrnent ot a llend for an unparalleled crime, and when the news of the burn ing went over the country like wildfire at every country town anvils Doomed forth the announcement, flov. Hogs; telegraphed the officials ot Lamar t ) protoct the negro, Henry Smith, from mob violence, and after hearing o Smith's fate wired them to take the names of the partlos principally concerned in tho affair for prosecution.

The lo.-s of tho masticating teeth before the thlrthleth year means a shortening of the life of the Individual of from two to li'-e year9, said tho New York Commercial Advertiser, To know tho extent to which many of these teeth are lost, even before tho filteenth year, one has only turn to tbe recently published reports of the examination of the teeth of children in the schools and orphan houses of London and elsewhere.

None But Royal

Baking Powder is absolutely pure. No other equals it, or approaches it in leavening strength, purity, or wholesomeness. (See U. S. Gov't Reports.) No other is made from cream of tartar specially refined for it and chemically pure. No other makes such light, sweet, finely-flavored, and wholesome food. No other will maintain its strength without loss until used, or will make bread or cake that will keep fresh so long, or that can be eaten hot with impunity, even by dyspeptics. No other is so economical. The Baking Powders now being offered in this vicinity,, with the statement that they are " as good as Royal," have been shown by the official analyses to be composed of alum and detrimental to health. The official chemists of the United States and Canada, State analysts, municipal boards of health, and physicians indorse the great qualities of the Royal Baking Powder.

Deolded. Queen Margherlta of Italy, Is a happy woman, in tha; she is so well-beloved, not only by her own oeople, but bv her husband, tho King. She has long been known as one of the beauties of Europe, but she has now begun to realizo tho fl IK ht of time, and recently said to her husband, with some wistfulness: "I am ton old to wear white gowns any longer." The King did not contradict her, but smiled, and sf.ld, "Let us take a fortnight to think over the matter'." At the end of that time came a largo packing-case, filled with white dresses of every deseri ptiqtr, -and of the utmost elegance. The otise was addressed to the Queon and, prettiest of all compllruents, it contalucd a card bearing; tho words: "The King's decision." Heathenish Idea. A Chlnose diplomat is authority for the statement that a Chlnatnau can wish far no better luck than to have a strange dog come to the house with the evident Intention of linking his future fortunes with those of r.he family. This la especially true of Pekln where stray dogs, instead of being summarily dismissed from the doorstep, as Is tho general custom elsewhere, are taken in, cared for and their lives henceforth surrounded with the comforts most appreciated by their race. So great, indeed, is th superstitious feeling, that no pains are spared to Induce the stranger to remain permanently with bis new-found friends. iteiuly Xteftrrotoh There Is a bird In China called the sler.boh, on the crown of the head of which there Is a beautiful scarlet tuft of down or velvet skin, to which, the natives believe, the poison of the serpent It is fond of eating determines. This downy crest Is nften formed Into a bead, and that bead ii concealed In the ornamental necklaces of tbe high officers tbe aristocracy of China foe a suicidal purpose. In case of Imperial displeasure, which, as repot t goes, Is easily effected by merely touching the venomous bead with the tip of the tongue, when death follows instantly. No language.
