The farmer freipi'iitly is successful
with his lu ll if he only tends to sel

regularly, Lut the incubator is not so
easily managed, ll requires constant

they get too cold they will chill, and it
too warm they will rook, then they

the tendency to have them hod with

to tire the muscle of the front part of

The plaster is then cut up into small
sq.itues, which are to be remove and
gradually replaced by a- many squares
of mosaic of tho saui" sie. In the
holes left empty when the plaster is j
taken away a new pia-ter, made of I
travertine dust, lime, and linseed oil,
' 1
is poured. Aftor three days (his new
p'u-tcr acquires tho necessary roiuist-

little colored squares. When all the
11 r face of tho plaster is covered with
these colored pieces of mosaic, the
whole is wnshed with sand and water
until it becomes quite smooth. Tho
colored pieces are made of mixtures
of different mineral', like arsenic,
lead, giass, etc. These minerals are

They are described as covered with

feature forms little part of the face.
Some explorer of the island were at.

dispelled by the facts that they pos

and monosyllable, have perceptive
faculties and resemble the rest of

are, moreover, recognized as belong-:
ing to the hunian race by the Malays,
who, however, hunt them as wild an

beasts of burden. These singular
people are only to be met with in the

If some grocers urge another baking
powder upon you in place of the "Royal,"
it is because of the greater profit upon it.
This of itself is evidence of the supe
riority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit- the other must be a lower cost
powder, and to cost less it must be made
with cheaper and inferior materials, and
thus, though selling for the same, give
less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most
wholesome food, be sure that no substi
tute for Royal Baking Pow der is accepted
by you.
