' REPORTS OF GOVERNMENT CHEMISTS
As to Purity andWholcsdmcncss of the Royal BalvinsPowclcr.
"I have tested a package of Royal Baking Towder, which I purchased In the
open market, and find it composed Of pure and wholesome ingredients. It Is a cream
of tartar powder of a burn degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or
phosphates, or other Injurious substances. K. G. Love, Ph.D."
It U a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Towder ia absolutely pure.
' "1L A. Mott, Ph.D.'
"I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in
the market. I find it entirely froe from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub
stance. IIenby Morton, TIlD., President of Stevens Institute of Technology."
I have analyzed a package of Royal Bakinjr Towder. The materials of vhieh
It is compoeed are puro and wholesome. S. Dama Hayes, State Assayer, Mate."
Tho Royal Baking Towder received the highest award over all competitors at
the Vienna World's Exposition, IHTi ; ut the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1871S ; at tho
American Institute, New York, and at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni
versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of
Health all over the world.
Note The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Bakin"
Powders, as shown by Chemical Analy &is and experiments made by Trot Scbedlcr.
A pound ctn of each powder was taken, tho total lcaveuing power or volume in
each can calculated, the result bciug us indicated. This practical test for worth by
Prof . Scbedlcr only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking
Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound
moro than ordinary lands, it U far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan
tage of better work. A single trial of ti c Royal Bilking Towder will convince any
foU-mindcd person of these facts.
While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to bo of a higher degreo
of strength than other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indicat
ing that they have any value. All alum powders, uo matter how high their strength,
jo to be avoided as dangerous.

Night In a. City Hospital.
I went the other night to see an old
friend who was dying in one of our great
hospitals. His messenger came to me
late, and midnight was at hand when we
rang the bell iu the black cavern of a
doorway a bell with a deep, eeriousl one,
that sounded most appropriately like a
knelL The deserted corridors were lighted
with thin flames of gas, that nickered as
if afraid of the shadows, and the echoes of
the tiled floors were startlingly Intense
under our hurrying feet. In a dark corner
of every floor a watchman sat, wakeful
and as silent as a phantom. Through a
closed door as we passed came a muffled
cry, but otherwise no human noise
troubled our progress, save those created
by ourselves. Well up toward the roof
my guide opened a door, and we were in
one of the common wards, at the further
end of which was the private room of the
man we were visiting. Tho lights were
down, and wandering moonbeams flecked
the floor through the long, latticed shut
ters of tho tall windows. On either hand
the row of cots went down the walls. The
room was so lofty thqt its dim celling was
scarcely visible in the subdued light, and
so spacious that the vast, polished floor
was like a black pool - into which we had
to wade at unknown depths.
The moment the door opened, a simul
taneous movement, like a shudder, ran
through the lines of cots. Every man in
them had been roused from his light sleep
by our almost noiseless entrance, and In
the vague gloom we went as softly as we
could between two lines of burning eyes.
There wa3 no sound, no breath nor sigh,
though there were cruelly mangled and
tortured bodies all around us. Only those
hot, piercing eyes, fixed on us with what
fierce envy and devouring yearning of our
own health and freedom was not difficult
to imagine. It gave me a' cold shudder,
just as when, lying by a Texan camp-fire,
I had shuddered at the lambent eyes of
the coyotes that circled us in a greedy and
cowardly ring. New York News

Vegetable Growth of Southern California.
' It was very difficult for me, when I first
came to the coast, to realize the rapidity
of the growth of vegetation, until I began
to reflect that these valleys are alluvial
deposits of comparatively recent date of
wonderfully fertile soil, in many places
hundreds of feet in depth, bathed with
an almost endless sunshine and quick
ened with the distributed waters of these
mountain canyons, with little or no frost
to retard the ever-growing season then
it was that I could begin to account for
the size of an eucalyptus tree," which
stands within ten feet of where I am writ
ing, eight years from the seed and meas
ures eight feet and eight inches in circum
ference, two feet above the ground; it is
estimated to be at least seventy-five feet
in hlght. I have asked many a recent ar
rival to guess its age, with answers rang
ing from thirty to fifty years.
The rapid growing eucalyptus is no
doubt going to solve the fuel problem of
this part of the country, where we pay f 10
per cord for wood, and not an eastern cord
at that, getting ninety-eight feet instead
of 128. There have been many eucalyptus
forests planted here within the last ten
years, which are -yielding a handsome
profit to the owners. The trees are cut off
anywhere from ten to twenty feet above
the ground and then start out anew for
another growth. It seems to be a habit
that seeds have in this country of growing
right along after having been once planted.
Barley will produce two and even three
crops from one sowing. I have seen as
fine watermelons and tomatoes on vines
two years old as one would wish to eat.

Different Processes of Treating Ores.
The trouble with nine-tenths of the fail
ures in mining is not the lack of ore or its
poor quality, but its character. That is
where the great mistake Is made. Ore
has to be treated to so many and to so
greatly different processes. An inexperi
enced miner, such as most of the Investors
are, does a little developing, gets a few
pieces of ore, takes them to some one who
is alleged to know something about it, and
is told that that the ere is free milling. He
puts up a mill-on that basis, and when he
comes to work it he finds his ore is not free
milling, and that his mill is totally unfit
for the work for which it was intended.
Then a tearing down and building up, over
and over again, begins, to suit the mill and
the process to the ore, and finally the whole
enterprise Is dropped, the investor being
disgusted and crippled by his losses. '
One thing should always be kept in
mind ore differs as much as night and
day. Within three feet you may find free
milling ore and the hardest and most
stubborn ore to treat. ' You may have
some next to a wall that will respond
easily to your process, and next to it may
be a piece that you can not possibly mas
ter. The only thing to do is to have a
mill to suit your ore as nearly as possible,
and then sort the ore piece by piece, send
inc part of it to mill and part to the
smelter. It that one plain was kept stead

How Spontaneous Combustion Occurs.
An insurance man, in speaking of mys
terious fires, says that many can be at
tributed to natural agencies. Said he:
"Linseed oil and cotton are liable at any
time to produce spontaneous combustion.
Especially is this true when the cotton is
tightly wadded, as it generally is when
used in rubbing and polishing furniture.
A great many mysterious fires may be
traced to this cause. Workmen use a
wad of cotton or cotton rags in rubbing oil
on furniture, and when they get through
they throw it into a rubbish heap in some
corner, and the building is locked up. The
heat that is generated by the contact of
the cotton and oil produces spontaneous
combustion, and the rubbish catches fire.
The losers attribute it to incendiarism,
when the origin of the fire might be easily
traced directly to- this chemical phenom
