The Women Know Beat.
Much comment has been caused by
the official reportsof the United States
and Canadian governments , in which
are presenters the evidences of the superior -
' perior strength , purity and wholesome-
' 1 ness of the Royal Baking Powder.
, - It is true that the good housewife
looks upon commendations of the Royal
Baking Powder from scientists and
official sources such as these very much
like "the gilding of refined gold. " Her
k practical experience long since taught
her in the most convincing way the
great usefulness and superiority of the
Royal article. A higher proof than
this she doesnot want and cannot leave.
Yet it is pleasant for her to realize
that the facts established by these
great competitive tests , these scientiflc
examinations made under direction of
1 the Government , exactly parallel those
she had before worked out in her own
f common-sense practical way.
It does not appear that any baking
powder , when presented in competition -
tion with the Royal , either at the
Government
juries , has ever rcceivedfcvoror award
over the Royal or made an equal showing -
[ ing in purity , strength or wholesome

Latcet Ideas In Dress.
More velvet muffs will be used this
winter than in a number of years and
'i ' velvet coats will also be fashioned for
$
afternoon wear and for church.
A great deal has been said about
black hosiery going out of fashion , but
it will continue to bo the correct style
unless the hosiery matches the gown in
color.
There will be an epidemic of plaids
before the winter is over and many of
the new designs are very artistic. The
plaids are large and solid in body and
the check is defined by lines in the
prettiest of the new shades Although
these checks make very smart gowns
let the stout women beware of looking
grotesque thus draped.
Newspapers Left In Cars.
New York Sun : "What do you do
with all the newspapers you collect ? "
k asked a passenger of an elevated rail-
1 road conductor as he left the train at
the city hall station , and following the
example of half a dozen other passengers -
gers , handed a morning paper to the
conductor and saw him add it to a
r bunch already bulging in his pocket.
"Oh , give 'em to the engineers , firemen -
men , ticket choppers , yardmen , track-
repairers and others along the line , "
was the reply. " 't'hey look to us regu-
larly for their favorite paper , and we

THE CITY' F BLOOD.
CAWNPORE , INDIA , A SCENE OF
AWFUL CARNAGE.
Dr. Taln , go Tells of the Scenes P.e-
called by Ills 1Vauderings About the
City of the Terrible Nana Salslb-Des-
crlpth U of the Man.
Bnooiuxs , N. Y. , Dec. 9.-Dr. Tal-
mage to-day delivered through the press
the second of his "Round the World"
series of sermons , the subject being ,
' 'The City of IBood't and the text se-
lectedbeingPsahns , 141 : vii , Our bones
are scattered at the grave's mouth , as
when one. cutteth and cleaveth wood
upon the earth. But mine eyes are
unto thee , 0 God the Lord.
'Though you may read this text from
the Bible , l read it as cut by chisel into
the pedestal of a cross beneath which
lie many of the massacred at.Cawn-
pore , India. To show you what Hin-
dooism and Mohammedanism really
are , where they have full swing , and
not as they represent themselves in a
"parliament of religions , " and to demonstrate -
onstrate to what extent of cruelty and
abomination lniman nature may go
when fully let loose , and to illustrate
the hardening process of sin , and to
remind you hoW onrglorious Christianity -
ity may utter its triumph over death
and the grave , I preach this my second
sermon in the "Round the World" series -
ries , and I shall speak of "The City of
Blood , " or Cavmipore , India.
Two hours and ten minutes after its
occurrenceJoscph Lee of the Shropshire
regiment of Foot , rode in upon the
Cawnpore massacre. lie was the first
man I nit't at Cawnpore. I Wanted to
hear the story from some one who had
been here in 1857 , and with his own
eyes gazed upon the slaughtered heaps
of humanity. I could hardly wait until
the horses were put to the carriage ,
andMr. , Lee , seated with us , started
for the scenethe story of which makes
tame in contrast all Modac and Choctaw -
taw butcheries.
It seems that all the worst passions
of the century were to be impersonated
by one man. and he , Nana Sahib , and
our escort at Cawnpore , Joseph Lee ,
knew the man personally. Unfortunately -
nately , there is no correct picture of
Nana Sahib in existence. The pictures
of him published in time books of Europe -
rope and America , and familiar to us
all , are an amusing mistake. This is
the fact in regard to them : A lawyer
of England was called to India for
the purpose of defending the case of
a native Who had been charged
with fraud. The attorney came
and so skilfully managed the
case of his client that the
c lent paid him enormously for his
services , and he wentback to England ,
taking with him a picture of his In-
( lian client. After awhile the mutiny
in India broke out , and Nana Sahib
was mentioned as the champion villain
of the whole affair , and the newsPapers -
Papers of England wanted a picture of
him and to interview some one on Indian -
dian affairs who had recently been in
India. Among others the journalists
called upon this lawyer , lately re-
turned. Time only picture he had
brought from India was a picture of
his client , the man charged with fraud.
The attorney gave this picture to the
jurnals as a specimen of the way the
Hintloos dress , and forthwithm the pict-
nre was used , either by mistake or intentionally -
tentionally , for Nana Sahib. The
English lawyer said he lived in dread
that his client would some day see the
use made of his picture. and it was not
until the death of his Hindoo client
that the lawyer divulged the facts.
Perhaps it was never intended that
the face of such a demon should be
p-eserved amid human records. I said
t ) our escort : "Mr. Lee , was there
any peculiarity in Nana Sahib's appearance -
pearance ? " The reply was , "Nothing
very peculiar ; lie was a dull , lazy
cowardly , sensual man , brought up to
do nothing , and wanted to continue on
time same scale to do nothing. " From
what Mr. Lee told me , and from all I
could learn in India , Nana Sahib
ordered the massacre in that city from
slicer revenge. Isis father abdicated
the throne , and the English paid him
annually a pension of $400,000. When
the father died , the English government -
ment declined to pay the same pension
to the son , Nara Sahib , but the poor
fellow was not in any suffering from
lath of funds. His father left him
$30,000 in gold ornaments ; $300,000 in
jewels ; $ S0u,000 in bonds , and other
resources amounting to at least $1,5o0-
000. But the poor young man was not
satisfied , and the Cawnpore massacre
was his revenge. Gen. Wheeler , the
Englishman who had command of this
city , although often warned , could not
see that the Sepoys tveie planning for
his destruction , and that of all his
regiments , and all the Europeans in
Cawnpore.
Mr. Lee explained all this to me by
the fact that Gen. Wheeler had married -
ried a native.and he naturally took her
story , and thought there was no peril.
But the time for the proclamation
from Nana Sahib had come , and suchm
a document went forth as never before
had seen time light of day. I give only
an extract :
"As by the kindness of God , and the
good fortune of the emperor , all the
Christians who were at Delhi , Poonalh ,
' ' , ttara and other places ; and even
those 5,000 European soldiers who tvcnt
mn disguise into time former city and
were discovered , are destroyed and
sent to hell by the pious and sagacious
troops , who are firm to their religion ,
and as they have all been. conquered -
quered by the present government ,
and as no trace of them is left in
these places , it is the duty of
ail the subjects and servants
of the government to rejoice at the
delightful intelligence , and carry on
their respective work with comfort and
ease. As by the bounty of the glorious -
ous Almighty and the enemy destroy-
ing fortune of and emperortbe yellow
faced and narrow minded people have
been sent to hell , and Cawnpore has
been conquered , it is necessary that all
time subjects , and land owners , and
government servants should be as
obelient to the present government as
they have been to the former one ;
that it is the incumbent duty of all the
peasants and landed proprietors of
every district to rejoice at the thought
that the Christians had been sent to
hell , and both the If indoo and Mohammedan -
medan religions have been confirmed ,
anti never sufferany complaint against
themselves to reach to the cars of the
higher authority.
Nana Sahib resolved to celebrate an
anniversary. The 23d of .June , 1557 ,
would be one hundred years since the
battle of Plassy , when under L'rd
Clive , India surrendered to England.
t'hat day the last European in Cawn-
pore was to be slaughtered. Other anniversaries -
niversaries have been celebrated withm
wine ; this was to be celebrated with
blood. Other anniversaries have been
adorned with garlands ; this with
drawn swords. Others have been kept
with songs ; this with execrations. Others -
ers with the dance of the gay ; this
with time dance of death. The infantry
and cavalry and artillery of Nana
Sahib made on that day one grand assault -
sault , but the few guns of the English
and Scotch put to flight these Ilindoo
tigers. The courage of the fiends
broke against that mud wall , as the
waves of the sea against a light house.
The cavalry horses returned full run ,
without their riders. The Lord
looked out from the heavens , and on
that anniversary day gave time victory
to Imis people.
Therefore Nana Sahib must try some
other plan. Standing in a field not
far from time intrenchment of the English -
glish was a native Christian walnan ,
Jacobce by name , holding high up in
her hand a letter. It was evidently a
communication from the enemy , and
Gen. Wheeler ordered the woman
brought in. She Imanued him a proposed -
posed treaty. If Cen. Wheeler and his
men would give up their weapons ,
Nana Saltib would conduct them into
safety ; they could march out unmolested -
lested , time men , women and children ;
they could go down to-morrow to time
Ganges , where they would find boats
to take them in peace to Allahabad.
There was sonic opposition to signing -
ing this treaty , but Gen. Wheeler's
wife told him lie could trust the
natives , and so he signed the treaty.
There was great joy in the intrench-
ment thatniglit. Without molestation
they went out and got plenty of water
to drink , and water for a good wash.
The hunger and thirst and exposure
from the consuming sun , with the
thermometer from 120 to 140 , would
cease. Mothers rejoiced at the prospect -
pect of saving their children. The
young ladies of the intrenclnnent
would escape time wild beasts in human
form. On the morrow , true to the
promise , carts were ready to trauspcrt
those who were too much exhausted
to walk.
"Get in the carriage , " said Mr. Lee ,
"and we will ride to the banks of the
Ganges , for which the liberated combatants -
batants and non-combatants started
from this place. On our way Mr.
Lee pointed out a monnlnent over the
burial place which was opened for
Gen. Wheeler's intrenchment , time
well into which every night time dead
had been dropped. Around it is a
curious memorial. There are five
crosses , one at each corner of the
garden , and one at the center from
which inscription I to-day read my
text. Riding on , we came to the
Memorial churchm built to time memory
of those fallen in Cawnpore. Time
walls are covered with tablets and epi-
taphs. I copied two or three of time
inscriptions : "These are they who
come out of great tribulation ; " also ,
" 'Time ( lead shall be raised incorruptible -
ble ; also , "In time world ye shall have
tribulation , but be of good cheer : I
have overcome the world ; " also , "The
Lord gave ; time Lord ] math taken away ; "
also , "Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden. "
"Get into time carriage , " said Mr. Lee ,
and we rode on to time Ganges , and got
out of a Hindoo temple standing on time
banks. "Now , " said Mr. Lee , "here is
the place to which Gen. Wheeler and his
people came under time escort of Nana
Sahib. " I went down time steps to time
margin of the river. Down these steps
went Gen. Wheeler and the men ,
women and children under lmis care.
They stood on one side of the steps ,
and Nana Saltib and his staff stood on
time other side. As time women were
getting into the boats. Nana Saltib
objected that only the aged and infirm
women and children should go on
board time boats The young and attractive -
tractive women were kept out. Twen-
ty-eight boats were filled with men ,
women and children and floated out
into time river. Each boat contained
ten armed natives Then three boats
fastened togeLlmer were brought up ,
and Gen. Wheeler and his staff got
in. Although orders were given to
start , the three boats were somehow
detained. At this juncture a boy lw
years of age hoisted on top of the Hin-
dee temple on the banks two flags , a
IIindoo and a Mohammedan flag , at
which signal the boatmen and armed
natives jumped from the boats and
swam for the shore ; and from innumerable -
numerable guns the natives on time
bank fired on time boats , and masked
batteries above and below roared withm
destruction , and the boats sank with
their precious cargo , and all went
down save three strong swimmerswho
got to the opposite shore. Those who
struggled out near by were dashed to
death. Ndna Sahib and his staff withm
their swords slashed to pieces Gen.
Wheeler and his staff , who had not got ,
well away from the shore.
I said that the young and attractive
women were not allowed to get into
the boat. These were marched away I
under the guard of . the Sepoys.
"Which tvav ? " .1 inquired. "I will
show you , ' ' said Mr. Lee. Again we
took seats in the carriage and started
for the , climax of desperation and
diabolism. Now we are on the way
to a summer house , called the assembly -
bly rooms , which had been built for
recreation and pleasure. It had two
rooms each 29x10 , amid some windowless -
less closets , and here were imprisoned
204 helpless people. It was to become
theprison ofthese wolnen and children.
Some of these Scpoys got permission
of Nana Saltib to take one or more of
these ladies to their own place , on the
promise they should be brought back
to the summer garden next morning.
A daughter of Gen. Wheeler was o
taken and did not return. She afterward -
ward married the Mohammedan who
had taken her to his tent. Some Se-
pays amused themselves by thrusting
children through with bayonets and
holding them up before their mothers
in the summer house. All the doors
closed and the Sepoys standing guard ,
the crowded women and children
waited their doom for eighteen days
and nights amid sickness , and ffiesand
stench , and starvation.
't'hen Nana Saltib heard that Have-
lock was coming , and his name was a
terror to the Sepoys. Lest the women
and children imprisoned in the summer -
mer house or assembly rooms should
be liberated , lme ordered that their
throats should be cut. Time officers
were commanded to do the work , and
attempted it , but failed because the
law of caste would not allow the Hin-
dee to hold the victims while they
were being slain. Then 100 men were
ordered to fire tlu ough time windows ,
but they fired over the heads of the
imprisoned ones , and only a few were
killed. Then Nana Sahib was in a
rage , and ordered professional butchers -
ers from among the lowest of time gyp.
sies to go at time work. Five of them
with hatchets and swords and knives
began the work , but timree of them collapsed -
lapsed and fainted under time ghastliness -
liness , and it was left to two butchers
to complete the slaughter. The
struggle , the slmarp cut , the blinding
blow , the cleaving through scalp and
scull , the begging for life , the death
agony of hour after hour , time tangled
linmbs of time corpses , the piled up dead
-oimly Gad and those who were inside -
side time summer house can ever know.
Time butchers came out exhausted ,
thinking they had done their work.
and the doors were closed. But when
they were again opened , three women
and tlmrce boys were still alive. All
these were soon dispatched , aid. not a
Christian or a European was left in
Cawnpore. Time murderers were paid
fifty cents for each lady slain. The
Mohammedan assassins dragged by time
hair time dead bodies out of the summer
] mouse and threw them into a well , by
which I stood with such feelings as you
can not imagine , But after time mutilated -
lated bodies had been thrown into the
well , time record of time scene renmained
in hieroglyphics of crimson on the floor
and wall of time slaughter house. An
eye witness says that , as he walkal in ,
time blood was shoe deep , and on this
blood were tufts of hair , pieces of muslin -
lin , broken combs , fragments of pinafores -
fores , children's straw ] mats , a card
case containing a curl with time inscription -
tion , "Ned's hair , withh love ; " a few
leaves of an Episcopal prayer book ;
also a book entitled , "Preparation for
Death ; " a Bible , on time fly leaf of
which was written , "For darling
mamma , from her affectionate daughter -
ter , Isabella Blair'-both time one who
presented it and the one to whom it
was presented , departed forever.
It was about 5 o'clock in the evening -
ing when I came upon this place in
Cawnpore. The building in which the
massacre took place has been torn
down and a garden of exquisite and
fragrant flowers surrounds time scene.
Mr. Lee pointed out to us some seventy
mounds containing bodies or portions
of bodies of those not thrown into the
well. A soldier stands on guard to
keep the foliage and flowers from being -
ing rutimlessly pulled. I asked a soldier -
dier if I might take a rose as a memento -
mento , and lme handed me a cluster of
roses , red and white , both colors suggestive -
gestive to me ; the red typical of the
carnage there enacted , and time white
for the purity of those who from that
spot ascended.
But , of course. the most absorbing
interest concentrated at the well , into
wlmich hundreds of women and clhil-
dren were flung or lowered. A circular -
lar wall of white marble encloses tlmis
well. The wall is about twenty feet
high. Inside this wall there is a marble
pavement. I paced it , and found it
fifty-seven paces around. In the
center of this enclosure. and imhmmedi-
ately above time well of time dead , is a
sculptured angel of resurrection , with
illumined face , and two palm branches ,
meaning victory. This angel is looking -
ing down toward the slumberers beneath -
neath , but the two wings suggest the
rising of the last day. flighty consolation -
lation in marble ! Tlmey went down
under the hatchets of time Scpoys ;
they shall came up under the trumpet
that shall wake time dead. I felt weak
and all p-tremble as I stood reading
these words on the stone tlmat covers
the well : "Sacral to the perpetual
memory of a great company of Christian
people , chiefly women and children.
cruelly massacred near this spot by
time rebel , Nana Saltib , and thrown.

On the arch of time mausoleum were cut
the words : "These are they wlmo carne

The New Butler.
Kate Field's Washington : "Now ,
remember , " said a charming woman to
her new butler , who had but a faint
conception of a business for which he
demanded the highest wages , "remem-
ber , in announcing meals , you are to
say-'Breakfast is ready , ' 'Luncheon is
ready , ' 'Dinner is served. ' "
' -All right , mum , " replied the proud
butler.
Not long after this charming woman
ventured to experiment on a dinner tea
a few intimate friends. Fancy time ex
pression of her countenance when , on
appearing at the drawing room door to
announce dinner , this literal butler exclaimed -
claimed in clarion tones :
"Breakfast is ready , luncheon is
ready , dinner is served ! "
This is a true story of the capital.
On a Basiuess Basis.
Detroit Free Press : The banker was
talking to time bachelor broker about
his future state , so to speak.
"Why don't you get married ? " lie in-
quired. "You ve got money enough. "
"I presume I have , but you know I
take no stock in1natrimony. "
"Pshaw ! that doesn't make any dif-
ference. "
"I think it makes a great deal' '
"Of course it doesn't , " insisted the
banker. "Don't von often make a
mighty good thing by assuming the
bonds of a concern you wouldn't take
stock in under any circumstances ? "
The broker hadn'tlooked at it in that
light before and he took the proposition -
tion under advisement.
A Gross Act of Cruelty.
Why should we be cruel to ourselves ? It Is
a piece of senseless inhumanity , for instance ,
for any one of us to inflict upon his bowels
and stomach the convulsive , griping , violent
action of a drastic cathartic. Many people
enamored of pills , powders and potions are
continually doing this. They are only "keep-
ing up the agony' perpetuating the disturbance -
ance , by this foolish course. Who don't they
take Hostetters Stomach Bitters and get
thoroughly and promptly set right ? This
supreme laxative never gripes , never produces -
duces violent effects of any sort. Yet it is
very effective and brings about permanent
results. For liver complaint , dyspepsia , ncr-
vousness , lack of vitality , rheumatic and lid
ney complaints , it is eminently serviceable.
In old age and to accelerate convalescence it
is strongly to be commended. Use it fur
'nalaria. ,
She'd Been There.
Detroit Free Press : He stood on time
corner of llroodward avenue and Wood-
bridge street with an unlighted cigar
in his hand , waiting for a smoker to
come along. By and by a little old
woman with a bundle under ] ter arm ,
who had evidently crossed the ferry
came along and observed time situation
and queried :
"lti aitin' for a light ? "
"Y es'm , " was the reply.
"Well , I guess I can accommodate
ye.
ye.She put down her bundle , drew a rag
from her pocket and unwrapped it to
display a dozen "blue-heads , " and selecting -
lecting one , she lifted up a foot ,
scratched it on the sole and held the
liglmt out and remarked :
"There-go alhead ! I'm an old
smoker myself , and know how it feels
when you want to puff and can't.
The Best Magazine and the Cheapest.
In the present increase of client wagaine5
It is well to remember that those which retail
at ten cents are sold at but a few cents above
the cost of the paper and printing. Judged by
mere bulk they contain hardly half the amount
of reading matter that is found in the larger
magazines , and Imowever interesting they may
be , the features that have made the American
magazines. and especially "The Century. "
famous throughout the world , are not possible
in these lower priced perodicals. Among these
features are great historical and biogrhtphfcal I
works such as the War Papers. upon which
there was expended for test and illustration u
some s OO,000 : the "Life of Lincoln. " tor the '
right to publish whielm in "The Century Maga-
zine" the authors were paid ; 50.000 ; the "auto-
biography of Joseph Jefferson. " etc. Paper
and printing are only two of many items of Best
which go into such a magazine as "The
'Century. "
In a line with its other great enterprises The
Century Co. is now beginning what is pru-
nounced
"TtIE BEST LICE OF NAPOLEON YET
w IUTTEN. '
It is by Professor William M. Sloane. and is ,
not a mere series of reproductions of prints and
pictures , but a historical work of time first im
portance. Professor Sloane has been engaged
upon it for years. much cf the time having been ,
spent by him In France. where he had access
to the national archives : and all the recently
discovered memoirs and reminiscences have
been at his disposal. To illustrate this great
history The Century Co. have made special
arrangements with many modern artists for the
exclusive reproduction of masterpieces of
modern art relating to Napoleon. and in add-
tion , there will be original drawings made
directly for the magazine by a great number of
french and American artists.
This is only one of many features for the
coming year. In addition , such a magazine as
"The ( 'enturv" finds it possible in its paper.
printing and general typographical excellence
to preserve the hest traditions of the art of
boon-mnakmg , and each number of the maga-
zinc , selling for thirty-live cents , contains in
welt-printed and convenient form an amount of
literary and a-t material which could not be
secured in ordinary book form for less than five
dollars. The high standard of "The Century"
in all its departments will be more than maintained -
tained during the coming year. Can you afford
to be without such an educational influence in
your household ?

going to break-- . Very often time hard-
worked tau coming front the field or the
office will "bolt" his food in a few nuin-
tites which will take hours to digest Then
too , many foods are about as useful in time
stonhach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. 't'he ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets front the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and "ready
to break , " because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood ,
finally the iIl-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when time overworked man attempts -
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full enjoyment -
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal , and . Dr. Pierce's Golden

vitalize the blood. 'flue "Pellets" are tiny
