HADN'T FORCOTTEN HOW. Am OK Connrtloot Tcohr Btnadly Thrash ft K.ntfuJ Yoaaf Mam. When William Sturges taught school in the little red school-house on the hill Id this town, over forty years ai;o, ho was considered a strict disciplinarian among his pupils, says a Wilton Conn.) correspondent of th! y-w York Sun. One of them was Lorenzo Olmstcad. whom Mr. Sturpos had occasion to trash soundly one term for a bit of deviltry. Tho affair caused some talk at the timo, according to the Wiltouitos, but they all upheld Mr. Sturges. Tho other day when Mr. Sturges, now man approaching his seventieth year, went to the pobtofhee for hisdaiiy ruall be met a son of his former pupil named Harry Olmstea-1, who is jut 21 years old. Young Olmstead stepped up to the old man and remarked: "Mr. Sturges, many years ago you gave my father, Lorenzo by name, who was one of your students, a ter rible thrashing. Do you remember It?" The schoolmaster replied in the affirmative, and added that he do se rved it. "Well," said young Olmstcad, "I am goin? to lick you, my dear sir, and pay up that old score with compound Interest." "If you thin a you can do it you can bocin now," said Mr. Sturges. Some further words were exchanged and it was proposed that tbe? rut some money on tho rosulU Olmstea borrowed 50 cents and placed it In' Louis Verlln's bands, which amount Mr. Sturges promptly covered from an old sh(v:pskin poekcthook. A ring was formed and the old man put up his lists. Young Olmstcad. who had considerable confidence in himself, because he had taken lessons la box ing from a orwalk sport, sailed In. H.i cannot tell to-day exactly how It happened. Mr. Sturges warded off his blows, seizing him by his coat collar and the soat of his trousers, and shook him until his teeth rattled. Tiion ho motioned for more room and ;an to plow up the ground with young Olmstead's nose. After get ting quite a furrow he harrowed it with the youngster's legs, and finally let him up. Tho young man was now thoroughly mad, and, formatting the old score, witn interest, he was go ing to pay on his father's account, started in to pay off the present one. Again the old man took hold of him, but this time he lo6t his footing and came down on top of his youthful an tagonist. He seized Olmstead's neclc between his toeth and bit him se verely. Then he lot go there and got hold of an ear. and he was chewing away on that with great vigor when the bystanders lnterferred and separ ated the fighters. - Olmstead was a sorry sight. Hi j clothing was useless, even for a corn Hold s :arecrow, and his face and ear, was bleeding freely. Tho old man was excit'd and his collar wa9 awry, ! with the oid-fnshioned stock twisted , around under one ear. !Not a mark of the affray was on him. Claiming the stakes, which were handod over to him, he went home, while Olm stcad sought a secluded spot to make repairs to his wardrobe. Ihe affair, has created much talk here, bscause Mr. Sturges is a school vistor, town Auditor, and a pillar of tho Ohurch. But the provocation was great. Centenary of the OulUotlne. Murderers and cutpurses from th dangerous districts about the Pan theon and Pore Lachalse have been known to compose and sing grimly humorous ballads in honor of tha guillotine when in their cups. TheM poople will hardly, however, go so far as to celebrate the hundredth anni versary of tbs Hrst execution in Paris by the inftruitient of decapitutlon which the "Oonstituante" adopted on the motion of Docteur Gulllotln, who had seen the machine at work in Italy. The doctor's idea ih introduc ing the boix de Justice was purely phil anthropic, for he wanted to do away with tho slow tortures inflicted upon criminals. On May 27, 1792 the flrst criminal, a highwayman, was exe outed on the Placo de Greve. now the Place de 1'HotoI oe Vlllo. This is the date given by Larousse. but otherau thorities state that Monday, April 25, was the hundredth anniversary of the first execution by tho guillotine in Paris. In ay case tha terrible in strument was desttntd to be busy during 1793 on the heads of persons more illustrious than the common highwayman named Peletier. For this reason some of tho modorn sym pathizers with the Terrorists, suppos ing them to have the bloodthirsty in tention of celebrating the centenary of tho guillotine, would be inclined to fix the date of their commemora tive ceremony on January 21 next. There can be no doubt about that day, as it would be the 100th anni versary of the execution of Louis XVI. on the spot marked by the obe lisk in the Tlace de la Concorde, as the spacious plot of ground ones termed the Place Louis XV., and af terwaids the Placo de la Revolution, is nowadays known.

Aa latarwatlnf; Vim ttj tk tha Cavlfornl UMt Ob the northern coast of California, ionie thirty miles below the mouth ot the Klamath Biver, is one of the most interesting natural formations to bo found in this country, known as the Big Lagoon. Here the coast, which runs north and south up to this point, takes a sharp turn inland, bordered by hii;h bills, running toa distance of about three miles, then turning out again makes a sharp bay, almost V shaped, and forages past a sand ar has been washing itself up across this bay until the bar has raised up out of the water some ten or twelve feet, having a width of about 100 feet and a length of four miles, reaching across ',he entire bay. This bar is in the shape of a roof. When there is a storm the breaker? will roll up one side of it, break over and run down into the bay in side, and it is a novel sight to stand there and watch the waters, mount ain hijfh on one s:!e and perfectly calm on the other, the line between tha two at intervals hidden alto gether. This bar is a sort of short cut and can be traversed on horseback. In a storm the horseman will one minute be high and dry on land, the next minute a large wave will roll up and, running under the horse's feet to the depth of a foot or more, tho rider will be, for an instant, four miles or so at sea on horseback, with no land nearer than the high bluffs of the mainland in sight. Moss agates may be found in abun dance on the pebbly beach, and when the sun shines they glitter with daz zling brightness. The wild duck that frequents thu, part of the coast literally till this in land bay, and the passing hunter, should he take a shot at them, will raise such a cloud and such a quack ing that he will think all the ducks of the earth have gathered there. Oc casionally some wild beast, like a hear or a panther, will be found crossing this bar, and the Indians have much sport when such a thing happens, the animal rarely escaping capture or death. Here the Digger Indians abound, living on the shell fish, which they catch along the beach, seldom going over the ricge of hills to capture a deer, which are plentiful. It would astonish a Yale or Harvard fot-ball team to come upon this scene some bright morning at low tide and sec the squaws and children playing la crosse on the beach. They get so ex cited with their sport that they keep it up until the tide drives them from the beach, often staying there until they have to chase the ball down into the surf. Detroit Free Press.

The best bred people are those who never for get what is due to others; the laws by which they are governed have sprung into existence to answer a need, to spare people's feelings, preju dices or exertions. That one must not break an engagement to dine, says Bazar, is not simply because one must never break any promise, Lut because doing so wLl disarrange the whole affair, and make awkwardness and inconvenience for those that have been so kind as to ak one to their table. That on calling ceremoniously on one member of a household, who is so either temporarily or permanently, the visitor should leave his card, or ask for the lady who is at the head of the house, even if quite indifferent as to whether she sees her or not, is not the command of an idle piece of hypoc risy, but is to be done both because the courtesy is due to the person whose threshola is crossed, and be cause it makes the circumstances easy for the person on whom the call is really made, avoiding any disturl aace or jealousy. That she may not refuse an invitation from one and ac cept it from another is not a rule for the arbitrary curtailment of her lib erty and pleasure, but is made for the sake of sparing tlu-sotisibilities of tho one whose invitation is not accepted.

Bow Abyssinian Woman Tattoow Painting Is temporary and needs frequent renewal. In many parts of the world we find color designs, elaborate, curious, sometimes beauti ful, made permanent by tattooing. The pattern and the method vary greatly with locality. In some regions men only tattoo, in others both sexes. Here it is confined to the nobles; there to the servile. In Abyssinia women chiefly tattoo. The whole body is covoed; even the gums are picked blue. An old woman operator's tools were a pot of blacking (charred herbs), a large iron pin, bits of hollow cane, and pieces of straw these last for pencils. She marks out the design, pricks dots with the pin loaded with the dye, and goes over it repeatedly. To allay the subsequent irritation it is plastered over with a green poul ice: the scab must not be picked off. Uulnlna.

(mm POLITICAL LANDSLIDES. Omly Three In Amerlea, and Two ArTeetetf Harrisons. The great Democratic victory In the election of 1S92 was called a land slide by politicians. Such landslides are peculiar to American politics. They do not occur often. There have been only three such events since the foundation of the government, says the New York Sun. When Democrats get tired of re joicing over the groat victory won Tues lay, and Republicans get tired of wondering how it all happened, they can find rest and amusement in comparing it with similar events that took place tlfty-two aud forty years , ago respectively. They will find many interesting j coincidences wncn iney come to pre pare the three great evcuts in Amer ican politics. One of the flrst they w'll notice is that Benjamin Harrison's grand father. William Henry Hai rison. was elected President In 1840 bv a land- slide as big as the one that defeated I the grandson In 1892. a weive years later tne second great landslide occurred. Martin Van fiuren, who was re garded as something of a politician in his day, was on the wrong side of tbe slide that carried Grandfather Har rison into tbe White House. He afterward became a sort of standing candidate for President, but never again got an electoral vote. He was nominated by the free soil party four years later, and by the knownothing, or American, party eight years after ward, but failed to carry a single Statn eithpr timr Gcn. Winfleld Scott went down un- der the great Democratic landslide of i 1852 along with the Whig party. The political landslides of 1840 and 1852 ditTer from the one this year in j that the successful candidates in those elections got comparatively small ma- ! joritics of the popular vote, while : they had four-fifths of the votes in ; the electoralcollege. i The political leaders of 1840 ana 1852 were surprised as much at the 1 result-in those years as Chairman Car- j ter was when he heard that Ohio had ' gone Democratic. There were 138 votes in the flrst ' electoral college, the one that elected George Washington President the flrst time. Twelve candidates for PresI-! dent were voted for, and Washington j got 69 votes on tbe tlrst ballot. j In some of the States the electors were elected by the legislatures, i There is no record of the popular i vote. i In 1792 there were no conventions, j platforms, or nomitiatlona Wash- j ington got 132 of the electoral votes ) that year. The election of a President was, without special interest until 1800, when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received an equal number of electoral votes and the election was thrown into the House of Represen tatives, whtoh elected Jefferson after thirty-six ballots. In 1804-Thomas Jefferson got 162 of the 176 electorial ballots. This could not be called a landslide, be cause his opponent was a Federalist and that party was then very weak, and erectors were chosen by the Legis lature In six States. In 1820 the Federalist party had practically ceased to exist, and James Monroe had no opposition. He got every electorial vote except one, which was cast for John Qulncv Adams. Tbe first political conventions to nominate candidates for President were held in 1S32. The Democratio convention met in Baltimore on March 22 of that year and nominated Andrew Jackson. The platform con tained Just three brief paragraphs, the first declaring in favor of protec tion to American industries; the second in favur of Internal improve- ments, and the third iu favor of civil service reform. The National Republican, or Whig, party convention nominated Henry Clay, but adopted no platform. The party was then in its infancy, and Jackson received 219 of the eletorlal votes. In 1836 tbe Whigs held no conven-. tion and bad three candidates for President. The Democrats nomi nated Martin Van Buren, but adopted no p'latforru. Van Buren got 170 electorial votes and was elected, but his majority of the popular vote over TV. H. Harrison was less than 25,000. Four years later, in 1840, came the first real landslide in American jk1 i tics. The Whigs had grown much stronger by that time. They nomi nated William Henry Harrison, who had commanded the American afaif in the Indian wars. John Tyler of Virginia, was the candidate for Vice President. The Whigs again adopted no platform. The Democrats nominated Martin Van Buren for President and adopted a platform directly contrary to the one on which Andrew Jackson had lieen elected in 1832. The 1840 plat form declared against internal im provements, against national banks, and in favor of a tariff for reveuue only. The famous "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" or log cabin campaign that fol lowed is within the memory of many men now living. But the result was a surprise to the politicians. Harrison swept the country, get ting 234 of the 294 electorial votes. ur tne popular vote, nowever, ne re-! ceived only 1,275,017 Van Buren i getting 1,128,702. Four years later James K. Polk and j Heniy Clay were the opposing caudi- ; dates for President Polk git 170 electoral votes and Clay 105. In the ' popular vote Polk's plurality over Clay was only 40,000. This was ; largely due to the great personal ' popularity of Clay. In 1848 tha Whigs elected Zachary , Taylor by a small majority, because ' be had made a splendiu record In the j Mexican war. Four years later came the second . pre.it landslide in American politics. The l)emocratic and whig parties i were supposed to be about evenly dl- yided. I The Democratic convention met itr 1 Baltimore on June 1, 1852. nnd after j a session lasting four days nominated i Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire I for Presideut and W. R. King of Ala- f bania for Vice-President. Both candi- ' dates were obscure men. They wer j. comparatively unknown in polities or nubile life, and their greatest recom- mendatlons appeared to bo that no one knew anything against thern. anclent Greeks and Roman rev Thewhls nominated Gen. Winfleld ' ed lQ roseg. tney wer0 U8ed Ut. Scott, who was Commander in Chief ; . . f In the tme cf of the American army in tne .Mexican wiir. Both parties adopted long plat forms. The only essential difference in the platforms was that the Demo crats again opposed internal improve ments and protection, while the whig platform favored notn. The free soil party entered the fight that vear and nominated John P. Hale of New Hampshire, for Presi dent, The campaign was without special features, but when the e returns from the election came in it was found a nn,,rra.t mat a greater muusnuu iiau uu,iim.'i than the one in 1840. There wore then thirty-one States in the Union and 298 votes in the electoral college. Of these Pierce received 254 and Scott 42. That was the greatest landslide or, cord, and ,t proved the death blow re tt the whig party. But great as' was Pierce's majority In the electoral college in the popular vote he ran only a little more than 200,000 votes ahead of Gen. Scott. The popular vote of the two candi dates was: Pierce, 1,601,474; Scott, 1,386,578. Four years later Millard Fillmore, the whig candidate for President, got only eight electoral votes. In that year the Republican party developed unexpected strength and gave John C Fremont, Its candidate for Presi dent, 114 electoral votes. Owing to the peculiar political con ditions existing in this country in 1868 and 1872, the large majority of the votes of the electoral college re ceived by Grant can not be cla-ed s landslides or political revolutions. The recent landslide is in every way the greatest one on record. While the returns from the popular vote are not all in the indications are that Cleveland got a greater plural ity of this vote than any other candi- date when the voters of the country were divided into two great political parties. Some of the interesting features 01 this landslide are that he Democrats carried every state that was classed as doubtful, and carried some of the strongest Republican States in the "xmutry. Divide the States into the usual ge ographical divisions, Eastern or New England, Northern, Middle, South ern, and Western States, and it will be found that the Democratic ticket has a majority of the electoral votes of every section except the Eastern States. The Democratic ticket has a gooo plurality of the electoral votos of all the States North of Mason and Dixon's line. The greatest changes in the popu lar vote in tho recent election oc curred In the Northwestern States, and to show how sweeping was the landslide in that section some figures re interesting: In 1888 Harrison carried Illinois by 22.000 plurality over Cleveland and had a majority of all the votes cast in .he State. Blaine's plurality in the same State in 1884 was 25,000. Hayes carried the State Ty 20,000 in 1876 and1 Grant carried it by 60,000 in The landslide there this year shows a change of more than 32,000 votes from the vote four years ago. In Kansas Harrison's plurality foui years ago was 80,000. The repuhll can pluralities in the State in 1880 and 1834 averaged 60,000. The landslide in Ohio was almost as great as Illinois. Harrison's plu rality in the Buckeye 6tate four years ago was 19,000, wuile Blaine cairied the State eight years ago by 32,000. In Wisconsin the republican phi- j rality four years ago was 21,000 and eight years ago 2,000. If the Deuioc ats h:l iost the foui states of New York, Indiana, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which were regarded as the real battle ground of the campaign aud have heretofore been classed as doubtful Slates, Cleveland and Stevenson would still have 233 electoral votes, or ten more than enough to elect.

If you want the best food, you will be interested in the following facts, which show why " Royal " is the best baking powder, why it makes the best and most wholesome food, and why its use has become almost universal its sale greater in this country than the sale of all other cream of tartar baking powders combined. The Koyal Kaking Powder SKVER fails. It is absolutely pure and wholesome. It is combined frmn the most approved and lioaltbful ingredients. It makes the finest flavored, most tender, delicious and wholesome food. It lias greater leavening strength than any other baking- powder, and is therefore -tbe cheapest. . It never loses its strength, but will keep ' fresh and of full leavening power until used. It acts slowly in the dough, so that none of its strength is lost before the baking is completed. It makes food that w ill keep sweet, moist and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot and fresh with impunity. The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is superior to all others in these respects are easily ""stated. One is because it is made from chemically pure materials; another is because it is made with greater care and accuracy than any other. It is always uniform in composition and leavening power. It has been the standaid baking powder since its introduction. The founder and con ductor of its business ever since is still at the bead of its management.

Doubtless the immoderate use of roses by the ancients led in after days to their being relegated to their proper sphere in the garden; for al though we have had the wars of the roses in our modern times, the flowers were only plucked as a symbol.

The old saying that "Practice makes perfect" must be taken with a ! grain of allowance. Perfection is a j rare commodity; but one meets here and there, even In the most unex- ' pected places, men who have attained ! to the most astonishing proficiency in some one thing to which they have devoted themselves. The Rural New Yorker reports a striking instance of this kind: A man died recently in Pennsyl vania who was mentally deficient, but a giant physically, and who could throw stones with an aim as unerring as that of the most skilful handler of J the n he. lie naa a large learner t pouch at tached to one side of his coat, In which he always carried a good 1 supply of these carefully-selected I missiles. witn tnesc ne oaggeu every year no small quantity of game grouse, quail, rabbits, and squirrels, lie could kill a bird on the wing or a rabbit at full speed almost as easily as at rest.

The consumer is not experimented upon by changes of formula that are constantly being made in other powders in an effort to get a mixture that will not "cake" or lose its strength, or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always certain and equal in its work; a teaspoon ful does the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday, or last week or month, or last year. While the last teaspoonful in a can of Royal is as good as the first, other powders lose their strength after being made a short time, and par ticularly after the can is opened. . The exactness with which the active principle of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced I against the receipt gredient; tne care with which the materials are dried, coated and prepared before their combina tion, and the precision in packing the powder so that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the perfect condition in which it leaves the factory, are some of the details which go to make the perfect " Royal." The same means are not employed by other manufacturers. There havebeen a great many imitations of the Royal, but no equals. 'Pine materials are not employed, care is not taken in their preparation and combination, while in the great majority of baking powders alum is added o give them strength, while cheapening their cost. The great popularity and general use of the' Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority. If Knowledge Is Folly Un!;ss Put to Uss."
