in his mouth, jtitnncd on the niai.i

everyone was on his feet chasing the
monkey. It ran fro til one oral of the

aloft. Some of the sailors went up
and drove it down again. When H
reuched the rail ng of the tuilwarks
it paused and looked around. The
sailors were last closing in on it. and
without, a tiiomeiil's hesitation it
jumped overboard. On rising to tho
siiriace it tried f) climb up the ves

out the water, and it could get nn

swam under the ship's bottom ami
lame to the surface on I lie other side.
This performance it tepeatcd three

seated. Tears were in her eyes as
she s oke to the sailors. "Never

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

Kenco of ii rat. l'attii'k liurley lives
In a rural orlion of tins Twetitv
third Ward, ."'oi.ie distau u from his
li'tme is a large 1 am, where besides
hoi'ses anil cows he kee.ts a tiutuber
of chickens. A bo il KM vards from
!:e barn a brook winds its way
tliro;ii;;i a ravine. Naturally the
presence ol corn and irrain about tho
barn lias drawn many r.ils. They
freiuently conic out in the larnyard
for fond or to play. Amnti),' the iais
the Hurleys h:id observed one that
was a rare specimen of his tribe.
Its coat was of a pure white.
! traii;ely, too, the white rat, when
ever It appeare 1, bad a cniiip inioti
that wiii a, lareutlv lead inn it. This
peculiarity caused the people to w;uch
the rodents. Thcv discover, d that
the white rat always held a straw in
its month by which the other rat le.l
It. They cuticliiiici the rat was
Wind. Sttnot.mes when a p.irtien
laily Mi.id iol of coin was found, the
white rat would drop the straw and
proceed to sat sfy his hunger, lint
by an impatient iiiuveiiicnt he was
always able to brin t.i lnni one of
his kind friends who would pi;'k up
the straw, .ve it to him and lead
the unfortunate back to the nest, un
der the barn. One of the most re
intiKcable thiiiK's noted wis the tact
that every day the blind rat was led
out by another d iwn to the brook to
Kct a drink. This, was nut an oc
c.is oiial, but a regular, per:orniauce.
After the blind rat had s-atstlel its
thirst the str.iw would be put into its
in uth by Its companion or atlendant
and led carefully bacK. Cut oii-s day
Fome boys who were nut acquainted
with the story of the blind rat, saw
the two animals coming from tho
creek and at onco made a charge
tipoD them. The leader of the blind
rat endeavored to hurry up its charge,
b'.it was finally forced to let j;o of
the 6traw and scamper off to save its
own lire. The while rat, left thus
helpless, was caught and k lied. The
family who had lornr watched tho
daily exhlti.tloti of the other rats'
tenderness an I devot on for their
8ij;htless ctuu a;;i"i., learned iti sad
fate with rch'iel. Wahhinijton l'ost.

they were angelic messengers
Mie sat and watched them through
her loiifj lashes sho was like them
slender, l.the, and strong, cold and
beautiful. The white (town that sho
wore was clasped with a cord tho
i oior of the leaves. Her small, well
pined head was set upon her neck
with the urace of one of tho bios

them with an inscrutable expression
on her face. It was almost as though
