ROYAL BAKING POWDCR
MAXIM'S NEW IDEA.
A Far la the Air Which Wahid Coat a
Fartnae, bat End a War,
The celebrated inventor of the Maxim
gran, one of the most formidable of
modern weapons, is hard at work, as ha
has been for long time, upon the old
problem of aerial navigation. In one im
portant respect Maxim is working on
different and leas difficult lines than
those which other inventors have tried
, to follow. They have aimed at the de
vising of flying machines which could
be operated at a oost not too great to ad
mit of their nse in the ordinary busi
ness affairs of life. The inventor of the
Maxim gnn, however, is very appropri
ately working, primarily, to produce a
machine which can be used in warfare.
For this purpose it is not at all neces
sary that the expense of air navigation
should be low enough to bring it within
reach of commerce or travel. What he
is aiming at is the creation of a new
and terrible engine of war, and every
body knows that the great powers of
Europe take little account of cost when
they are dealing with the armaments
which they regard as essential to their
very existence. - .' '
If a flying machine or airship can
be invented which will be efficient in
ordinary weather and will enable the
power possessing it to attack the for
tresses and camps of its enemies from
above, there will be a mad rush to ob
tain plenty of the new engines of de
struction, no matter how much they
may cost to build and operate. The pic
ture of wholesale destruction which is
held up before the military mind when
an inventor talks of pouring dynamite
shells down upon a beleaguered fortress
from a great height and thus blow it
into atoms, without risk or possible de
fense, is too attractive to permit money
to stand in the way at all. Perhaps we
shall see that wonderful dream of the
poet come true which is told in the
lines:

Good For Invalid.
The weather man has been very good
to invalids. When a thin ghost of
maid gets so blue that the air looks
azure, the nurse can bundle her up in a
big shawl, deposit her in a big rocking
chair and roll her to the window, where
she can watch pedestrians go through
gymnastic performances on a small piece
of ice in front of the house. Her droop
ing spirits rise as fast as people tumble
down, and the little invalid who hasn't
been out of the house for weeks and
weeks declares the weather man to be a
jolly good fellow. Chicago News-Rec

As the Prt$ was the medium of bring

such a marvelous change in her condi

in wnicn sue was relieved :

conaensea lorm all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
mood, and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial

plexions, that tired feeling resulting from
nervous prostration; all diseases result
ing from vitiated humors in the blood.
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc
They are also a specific for troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppres
sions, irregularities and all forms of
weakness. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature. .

A NARROW ESCAPE.
I one day saw a copy of Bafis on the
table of a friend. Hafia was a Persian
poet of the fourteenth century, whose
verse, like that of Anacreon's, was dedi
cated to love and wine. The book was
in Persian manuscript, was superbly il
luminated and was at least 200 years old.
"Fred, did you buy this book abroadr
I asked.
He looked at ma In queer way and
then said:
"No, Ididnt I stole if
1 stared at him in surprise.
"Not inteutionally," qualified he as he
Ht a fresh cigar and shoved the box to
ward me.
"It was an adventure," I said as I set
tled down in an easy chair. "1 am ready
to hear it"
He watched a wreath of smoke as it
curled away to the ceiling and then told
me the following story:
"I was haunted by a pair of superb
black eyes while at Constantinople. They
rested on me frequently in the various
marts, and they seemed significant with
meaning despite their steady gase. Of
course they belonged to a young woman.
Her figure was not too o twee to be grace
ful, and though her face was covered
with the traditional veil I was sure that
it was as handsome as the eyes.
"I first met her in the drn market, a
place that looked like the archway to
covered bridge, dim and mysterious and
odorous with spices, the venerable look
ing Turk scarcely visible through the
smoke that curled from the bowl of his
pipe, his eyes dreamy from the use of
opium, and bis trembling fingers count
ing his spicewood beads. My unknown
dark eyed beauty bought a package of
henna, with which to dye ber fingers,
while I bought some incense wood for
pastil lamp.
"The next place 1 met her was in the
slave market, and it struck me that was
a queer place for her to be. She stared
a tittle sadly at the Nubian damsels
standing around like so many pieces of
black statuary awaiting the pleasure of
the auctioneer. When her eyes met
mine, it was again with a prolonged, un
winking gaze, and I thought I saw signs
of emotion.
'The third time I met ber was in the
becestein, that most oriental of bazaars-
devoted to the sale of bric-a-brac, largely
of a military kind, and only open in the
forenoon. I was pricing some jewel hilt-
ed daggers, when who should I see by my
side but the veiled unknown. She picked
up each dagger as I laid it down, exam
ined it and spoke to the gray bearded
fatalist in attendance, a ripple of laugh
ter stirring ber thick veil. I could not
understand what she said, but I supposed
the conversation waa about me. I was a
good looking fellow and had plenty of
money and a fancy for everything that
was quaint. She took my hand, looked
at it closely and gave it a slight, tender
pressure. I had a friend, an attache to
the American embassador, and I told
him about the mysterious houri. He just
laughed at me.
You can t designate them by their
eyes,' be said. "I hey all look alike.'
" She wore turquoise rings,' I said.
" "It is a favorite gem with them.' re
plied be.
'She took hold of my hand in the ba
zaar.
That's nothing new. She was prompt
ed by curiosity. Their idea of modesty
includes the veiling of their faces, and
that's about all It may not have been
the same woman every tune.'
'I am positive that it was 1 rejoined.
TU follow her the next time.
M 'You'll be fished up out of the Bos
porus the next morning,' replied my
mend, with a shrug. 'Ill walk down to
the morgue to see if I can recognize you.'
1 saw a grave look cross his face, but
that did not deter me from my purpose.
The next day I met ber within the reli
gious gloom of one of the cemeteries.
Was she following me, or was there a
fatality in our meeting? The cities of
the dead are numerous on the hillsides.
Tbey are not large, are shaded by close
growing cypress, and each one has a
small minaret pointing skyward in the
center. There is a great deal of rural
beauty about them, and they are never
without visitors, for relatives hold their
dead in great reverence.
Again those fascinating eyes met mine
and I felt my heart beat faster. She
placed her finger upon her lips and then
walked down one of the. paths. What
did the act mean but 'Follow me and be
discreet' I followed her, trembling some
what with excitement. Outside stood
an aruba, drawn by horses and attended
by an Abyssinian slave.
He opened the door of the carriage,
and the girl entered. She motioned to
me to join her, and I complied. After a
short drive we stopped at a small villa.
She entered the house, and 1 followed
her, the Abyssinian slave joining us a few
minutes later. At a sign from ber be
brought in four small gilded saucers,
two of them containing some sort of
snow whits delicacy and two filled with
quince jelly almost done to a candy.
"The room waa the most elegant bou
doir eye ever rested upon, with rich
rugs, Ottoman, statues, vases and no
end of oriental conceits, a sweet odor
and a sensuous look pervading It alL
Leaving me alone for a few minutes,
she returned and handed me a very rare
and richly illuminated Hafiz, I saw at
once its value to a bookworm,
" 'Pekker I said, which is the Persian
word for admiration. 'What do yon,
want? v , - . . ...
"She looked at the Abyssinian and said
something in Persian.
" 'Sell,' he said, looking at me.
'Frank?
"That is the name applied in the east to
the people from western Europe.
" 'American,' I said.
"I found he was familiar with English.

The Lament of a Gamekeeper.
Dean Hole in bis ".Memories men
tions an old gamekeeper who sorrowful
ly surveyed a model farm as if it had
been some fair city overthrown by an
earthquake and remarked dolefully,
I ve known the time when that farm
waa as pretty a spot for game as could
be found in the county, and now why,
there ain't a place where a partridge can
make a nest, or a hare or rabbit can bidet
"What's the good o' the place now?"
he went on. "You see that grass field
yonder. Well, you 11 scarcely believe it,
but it was once the beautif ulest bog for a
jack snipe as ever you'd wish to see. I've
killed three couple of m morning among
the tussocks and rushes afore they spoilt

"Ah," said the dean, "but you must
not forget that there ia more wheat and
more food than before the land was re
claimed."
'Ya, and what's the use of it?" the
gamekeeper said. - "What's the good of
wheat which it do not pay to raise when

Bow a Soaks Swallows a Fros
The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, although if the frog be large
more than half an hour may be consumed
in the process. The two bones of the
lower jaw are separate and capable of
independent movement; so the reptile
loosens its bold upon one side of its jaw,
and pushing that side forward as far as
possible it drives the teeth in again and
then draws the jaw back to its original
position.
The result is that the prey is drawn
down by the movement. The process is
then repeated by the other half of the
jaw, thus inevitably forcing the victim
inward. The snake s skin stretches enor
mously, and the jaw ia of course dislo
cated, but the extensible ligaments hold
the bones together. A. Q. Mayer ia
