In Baking Powders

As the result of my tests, I find the ROYAL BAKING POWDER superior to all the others in every respect. It Is entirely free from all adulteration and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than any other powder. It is therefore not only the purest, but also the strongest powder with which I am acquainted,

The design was made by one of the most gifted water color artists in the country and the work of the lithographer is seemingly perfect. Hood's Calendar, as usual, presents all the desired Information about the lunar changes and other astronomical events.

BRAVE GERMAN SAILORS.

ffielr IUi«n« of Wrecked Americana MtgnifliMst Piece of Work. The invalids wintering at Ventnor, a sheltered nook on the isle of Wight, Wore reoently thrown into a state of exoitement much greater than was good for them by the landing of a crew of shipwrecked American Bailors, who, as soon as they got ashore, fastened on the spectators and told them a glowing tale of the heroism of their rescuers. The men belonged to the Boston coasting schooner Wilhelinine, which was oanght inn terriflo gale aud driven out to sea. The sahooner sprang a leak, and the crew, knowing that the vessel was likely to sink any moment, began to think of the folks at home and to pray. A steamer was seen approaching, but the Wilhelmine's men believed that rescue was impossible with snch a sea running and did not even indulge in the luxury of hope.

The stranger was the German s'4amer Brilliant, and her officers and crew were made of the stoutest hnman fiber. They launohed a lifeboat and rescued those unfortunate Amerioans with consummate bravery and devotion. The annals of the sea scarcely tell of a grander bit of work. Every one of those

Germans carried his life in his hands .and''knew it aa none 'but experienced sailors could know it. Over and over again they were forced baok by the tremendous seas, and the manner in whioh they maneuvered their boat alongside the sinking schooner and got the men off was as fine a testimony to their skill as the actual undertaking was to their tramanity and pluck. gome of those rough Bostonian sailormen shed tears of gratitude when they were at length put safely aboard the

Brilliant. Even at Ventnor and at Southampton, where they were taken at the American consul's expense, their eyes moistened as they told of the Germans' bravery and of the liberal treatment they reoeived on board the Brilliant. It ia proposed to bring the Brilliant's service to the official notice of the ItXni ted States government, with a view of obtaining adequate recognition of the heroism and humanity of her officers find, crew.—New York Sun's London

.. DID "THE RUBE ACT.'/

Experience of the Flushing Chappies With a Long Island Hayseed. I've got a pigeon story from Flushing, Which, next to Gowanus, is perhaps the most famous town of Long Island.

They've got a grand, new fangled, dude pigeon olub down there and openedit with an invitation shoot last week, h' A lot of cracks were persuaded to go down, but the Flushing chappies had put on so many frills that they thought they would put up a little job on them.

Louis Dnryea, who is a very clever jipan with a gun, was dressed up to look )jtke a Long Island hayseed, in rubber jtjoots, an old canvas jacket and a slouch hat, He was introduced as a fellow who fjiought he could shoot and' had roped ip with some of the crowd. The committee demurred at first, but when ho gulled out his $2o entranoe fee they thought they might as well gather it in. "Davenport," as he called himself, Was guyed unmercifully every time he went to the trap. He acted his part to perfection, was very awkward in handling his gun and appeared surprised every time he brought down a bird.

After Davenport had killed 15 straight .tjie Flushing dudes didn't guy him so njuch. At 20 straight he was greeted with dead silence, and all the Flushing •oracks had dropped out.

wSo

Davenport went on" fihd W(hi the cup and all the "mon," with a clean record of 25 straight, and, what is

Jbte got away from Flushing wifchit,iny( i3f, the local .talent getting Jhto him, and perhaps they won't know til they read this of the nice-little gag Lpms J)usyea of Glen Cove put tip on theiiv.r^G3jolJy Knickerbocker in New York Recorder.

A SUDDEN CHANGE.

AvFreneli Kolileman'a Short Stay at Washington Calls Fo* a Surmise. jA certain young French nobleman who arrived in Washington a day or two ago left in a hurry for his own shores, giving as his reason to the clerk of the up town hotel where he stopped thjat he oould not enjoy himself in a country whose language he did not understa?)d. Ho came expecting to remain several weekB, and there is a romanoe connected with his abrupt departure, -i* It seems that two summers ago he "met a fair young American girl in Paris, and he fell in loVe with her speediwty cr jwith the fortune she was reputed t6 possess. At all events the affair seemed to progress smoothly, and there was every prospect of a union. It was to olaim the hand of the young lady that brought the gentleman to Washington, and on the day he landed he sent back a cablegram to bis mother, saying, "All is well am very happy." The next day he cabled, "Everything broken off retnj® at once," /What sodden cloud obscured his visions of bliss none except the parties to the episode know. Whether fate, in the shape of a stern father, intxT-osfrl to break off tho match is only for conjecture, or it in ay be that the young aristocrat found at the last moment that satisfactory marriage settlements could not be made. At any rate, he vanished, and one American girl will bo nil tho happier for getting an American husband. —Waslungtcn Pest.

QmMble Americans*

Iti spite of the recent conviction of Jaoques and Thomas for conspiracy in obtaining money from credulous Americans by means of the unclaimed estate dodge, the game is being tried again, this time in connection with the so called Hyde estate. An agent recently came from America to prosecute the pretended claim. An official of the English high ooort of justice has notified the United States embassy that there is not the slightest basis for this ——Loririrm
