THE HIGHEST AWARD.

ftoyal Bakinc Powder Hu AU the Hnnora —ln Strength and Value 80 Per Cent. Above IM Nearest Competitor. The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class —greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined —wherever exhibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the various State and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World’s Fair the examinations for the baking powder awards were made by the experts of the chemical division of the Agricultural Department at Washington. The official report of the tests of the baking powders, which was made by this Department for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, and which has been made public, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inchesof carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited, the next highest in strength, thus tested, contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 11L The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of aH the other tests. Its superiority in other respects, however, in the quality of the food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figures. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sale of all other baking powders combined.

THE DRAGON’S BACKBONE.

Some of the Obstacles Pat tn the Way of Railway Development in China. The obstacles which the railway development of China encounters from time to time are well illustrated by an incident which recently occurred in connection with the construction of the line between Kirin and Newchang, the seaport of Manchuria. It was proposed to make a junction at a place called Lanpien, outside the city of Moukden. For this permission had to be obtained from the Tartar general of Moukden. This functionary at once proceeded to call in his geomancers—a species of soothsayers who give information concerning the good fortune and ill fortune of sites and are supposed by the Chinese to know what demons and dragons inhabit the earth under the surface. These wise men reported that the dragon whose body encircles the holy city of Moukjien lay coiled up in such a way that, if the railway came through Lanpien, the long nails driven into the ties would pierce his backbone and in all probability set him to raging violently, to the great detriment of the inhabitants of Moukden. The general consequently refused the application of the railway people and directed them to carry the road in a straight line from Kirin to Newchang, avoiding Moukden. The engineers thereupon appealed to Li Hung Chang, the imperial viceroy, showing that, as this proposed route would go through a marshy and uninhabited county, it could not be profitable for their enterprise. Li Hung Chang wrote to the general of Moukden highly commending him for his discretion in consulting the geomancers but suggesting that these sage persons go over the ground again and see if they could not find a place where the nails would not be likely to strike into the dragon’s back. As a word from the viceroy is law in China the general had his geomancers indicate a spot for the junction at Lanpien where they thought that, after all, the dragon’s backbone would be safe and there the railway will be built, if no other peculiarly Chinese obstacle intervenes. —Chicago News.

Uncle Bill Merrill gave au oldfashioned husking-bee last week, soreports the Byron correpondent of the Oxford Democrat, who lets his memory and his imagination run away with him in this wise: ‘‘Baked beans, puddings, pies, cakes and sauces and apples that would melt in your mouth. Loaves of brown bread stood so high and so large on the table that Freel Abbott (six feet high) had to stand on tiptoe to get sight of his partner on the other side. Forty guests surrounded the table, while sixteen babies were laid away in beds and cubbies to revel in innocent dreams. After supper music from four viols and a tambourine, with frequent choruses from the babies, made old age and youth forget all care and sorrow. Abraham, a three years’ cripple, was so elated he took the floor and gave a splendid exhibition of fancy clog dancing, while George Maher wore a hollow in the doorstone dancing.”—Lewiston Journal.

Not Going to Waste the Picture.

An artist declares that a newly-be-trothed lover commissioned him to paint a certain secluded nook in the rocks on the shore, because there he had declared his passion. The picture was painted, but before it was done the lover said to the artist: “Of course I will see you through on that picture, but my engagement is off, and, of course, it would be painfully suggestive to me. If you can sell it to somebody else I will take another picture, and be extremely obliged besides.” The painter assented to the arrangement, but within a week his patron presented himself. ‘‘lt is all right,” he announced joyously. ‘Til take that picture.” “Am I to congratulate you on the renewal of your engagement?” the artist asked. The other seemed a little confused, but quickly recovered his self-posses-sion, and grinned as he said: “Well, not exactly. It was the same place, but the girl was different”— Pearson’s Weekly.

FIGS AND THISTLES.

Where hard work kills one man, worry uses up a dozen. If happiness is your main object in life don’t try too hard to get rich. A lie always has a dagger in its band, no matter how well meaning it may look. Generally when a man feels the need of economy he thinks it ought to begin with his wife. The man who lives with his head in the clouds will generally be found standing with his foot on somibody’s neck.
