1 1; s Good Health to the hildree Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. As good cake can be made only with ood eggs, so also a cake that is health ful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar light ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. Killing at Greensboro. Dave Covington, familarliy known as "Skin," was shot at the house of Mattie Paige, on Dewey street, Thursday at n o'clock and died a few minutes later at the in tersection of Dewey and Gorrel streets while trying to go home, in company with John Harris and Ed Harris, all colored. Mattie Paine, Ed Harris and John Harris were arrested by the officeis and placed in calaboose pending an investiga tion. The version of the affair given Gowan's Pneumonia Cure External for Croup, Sore Throat, all Pains in Chest, Lungs and Muscles by Mattie Paine and the others ar rested is to the efftct that they were all sitting in one room cf the house and were playing a guitar and singing. In an acijoinitig room was a negro whose name was un known. He had come to the house early iu the evening and engaged the room for the night, paying in advance for use of the same. After some time Dave Covington went into the room where the strange man was lying in bed Thev say that when i'ovinton entered the room he went to the Promotes Dige9tion.Cheerfi ness and Rest .Con tarns neither Opium.Morplune nor Mineral.

Over Thirty Years P fltcW TSWK OTTO : the t w SYLVESTER EVENING - - - ' ' Bow the Germait Celebrate the Com versloa of Conateatlne. . The evening of Dec. 81 is known In Germany as Sylvester evening, la Eu ropean calendars, excepting that of England, the days of the year have names, and Dec. 31 bears the name of Sylvester, who was bishop of Rome In the time of the Emperor Constantino and was obliged to hide himself la the mountains to escape persecution. Then It happened that Constantlne was smit ten with leprosy, for which horrible disease the physicians could propose no other remedy than a bath In the bhxxl of young children. For this pur pose 3,000 children were gathered, but Constantlne,' moved to pity - fcy the despair of the mothers, refused to avail himself of such a sacrifice. In the night he was advised In a dream to re call Sylvester and to accept the Chris tian religion, which he did. This evening Is everywhere In Ger many a time of great rejoicing. Par ties and balls are given,- and, friends gather to spend the, last hours of the old year In merriment games and dancing and, most Important of all, au guries and divinations. Though these tricks are as old as the hills, they nev er lose their charm. Hot lead Is pour ed Into cold water contained In a basin, and in solidifying it forms Itself Into all kinds of shapes and figures, In which many meanings can be read by the initiated. Empty walnut shells, in each of which burns a tiny wax taper, are- put to gether In a basin of water to swim In opposite directions. If they meet two loving hearts will be united In that year, but if they separate the love af fair of those represented by the shells will come to naught. Young girls throw slippers over their heads. If the points of the slippers face the door th owners will be married that year; If the slippers miss the wished for direc tion the girls have to remain at home. Sealed cards on which words of good omen, of good advice or wishes have been written are passed around, read aloud and considered as Indications of the future. New York Tribune. NEW YEAR'S BREAKFAST. In Japan It la a Religion Rite and a Serious Hatter. To a devout Japanese breakfast on New Year's day is a religious rite rath er than a vulgar satisfaction of the ap petite. No ordinary dishes are con sumed at this meal. The tea must be made with water drawn from the well when the first ray of sun strikes it, a potpourri of materials specified by law forms the staple dish, while, at the fin ish a measure of special Bake from a red lacquer cup must be drained by whosoever desires happiness during the coming year. In the room Is placed an "elysian stand," or red lacquer tray, covered with evergreen leaves and bearing a rice dumpling, a lobster, oranges, per simmons, chestnuts, dried sardines and herring roe. All 'these dishes hava a special signification. The names of some are homonymous with words of happy omen; the others have an alle gorical meaning. The lobster's curved back and long claws typify life pro longed till the frame is bent and the beard is long; the sardines, which al ways swim in pairs, express conjugal bliss; the herring is symbolical of a fruitful progeny. These dishes are not intended for consumption, although in most cases the appetite is fairly keen. The ortho dox Japanese not only sees the old year out; he rises at 4 to welcome the newcomer and performs many ceremo nies before he breaks his fast. London Chronicle. A Story of Wellington. It is related of the Duke of Wel lington that once when he remained to take the sacrament a very poor old man went up the opposite aislo and, reaching the communion table, knelt down close by the side of the duke. Some one came and touched the poor old man on the shoulder and whispered to him to move far ther away or to rise and wait until the duke had received the bread and wine. But the eagle eye and quick ear of the great commander caught the meaning of that touch and that whisper. He clasped the old man's hand to prevent his rising and in a reverential undertone said: "Do not move. We are all equal here." Splitting Paper. Wet both sides of the paper with a weak solution of glue and stick a piece of calico on each side, taking care to keep the paper flat, so as to leave a double margin all around. When the glue, which should be of good quality, is quite dry, place it all on a flat surface, and fix by tacks or otherwise the under piece of calico. Now turn back the upper piece and pull gently until it comes away, bringing with it one-half of the pa per, which will split in two. The paper and calico can be separated by soaking in lukewarm water. Gloating the Boot. The teacher of English was hope ful, although he had met with dis appointments at every turn. ''Now, here is ah interesting situa tion," he said eagerly. "Let us an alyze it. Just what is the meaning of the line, 'Doth not Brutus boot less kneel V : . "Why, I take it to mean that Bru tus, being in a hurry,, had come off without his boots, sir," said the pu pil, with his usual promptness. VouthVs Companion. . ONE SUIT FOR FIFTY. But It Md It Poeeible For The In- , - diane to Vote. ' v "Talking about voting under diffi culties' remarked a congressman from Minnesota a few days ago, "J. "remember in my state in ' former times there was a popular law that Indians who wore clothes could yote. The woods were full of Indians, but suits of clothes were mighty, scarce around there, especially with tne In dians. Whenever there was no spe cial interest in the election or it was all one way the ingenuity .of aaan was not stirred up sufficiently, to put two and . tyro together' in such a way as to get those Indiansld'yote, but one day votes were mighty valuable, and an energetic worker set out to get Indians. "The red men were as thick as flies, but every last one of .them had a blanket wrapped about "him,-and very few of them had ever had on the clothing of civilization The proposition to let them vote if they wore clothes was made -in order to encourage them in the ways of civ ilization and also with the idea that a man who had on clothes would be a pretty intelligent Indian. "Well, the demand for votes stirred up one of the hard workers, and he got an old suit of clothes and took it to a hut near the voting precinct. One by "one .the Indian were Brought in dressed up in the clothing of civilization and voted. As soon as an Indian had been voted he was hurried back to the hut and his clothing was transferred to an other Indian. The idea spread, and other enterprising political workers set up the same kind of business. The number of Indians that could be voted with one suit of clothes was merely limited to the number of changes that could be made. Each suit of clothes was easily good to vote fifty Indians. The lightning change acts that were performed by the Indians would be an object les son to lightning change artists on the stage." Washington Star. She Was Worth More. In the midst of their busy and troublous experience, where pathos, tears, perplexity and distraction confront them in -ever changing combinations, there sometimes comes a gleam of fun to the attor neys of the New York Legal Aid so ciety. In their east side branch of fice not long ago they were investi gating a claim. preferred by a poor woman against an express company for damages to her furniture. By the rule of the society no applicant who can be rated as worth at least $100 is entitled to sue through them as a poor person, and the wo man was being questioned on the point. She could not speak English, and her husband acted as interpret er. - "Is your wife worth $100?" the attorney asked him. The man stared blankly for a mo ment of painful doubt. He thought it was an offer to buy his wife. Doubling up his fists pugnaciously, he shouted: "Vas! Iss dis what you do? I vouldn't change her for $10,0001"- New York Press. She Stocked Up on Prayers. One little girl that I know of is so sleepy when she starts for bed that it is occasionally hard work for her to make up her mind to finish the good night prayer. A few nights ago she dropped her head upon the pillows earlier than usual. She wasn't very sleepy and at once be gan to dash off a prayer in refresh ing style. The first prayer over, along came another one, and still a third. About this time her mother, surprised at the turn proceedings had taken, asked the little one what she meant by so many prayers. "Why," explained the little girl, "I'm going to say twelve prayers, now I'm awake, and then I can go two weeks without saying one." Lowell Courier. Willing to Compromise. The poor but honest young man had bearded the millionaire in his den. "Sir," he said, "1 want to marry your daughter," "Impossible, sir, impossible!" ex claimed the old man. "Why, I would rather give up every dollar I' have than part with my only daughter." "Oh, very well," calmly rejoined the diplomatic youth.- "If that's the way you feel about it, I won't be too heavy on you. Just write me out a check for half a million and we'll let Lit go at that."
