When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Govern ment Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Hoards pf Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent to 60 per cent, more leavening strength than the others, and also that it was more per fectly combined, absolutely pure, and altogether wholesome. As most of these powders are sold to consumers at the same price as the " Royal," by the use of the Royal Baking Powderthere is an average saving of over one third, be sides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, bis cuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable. The official reports also reveal the pres ence, in other powders, of alum, lime or sulphuric acid, by which their use is made a matter of grave danger to the consumer. Whenever a baking powder is sold at a Imver price tlian the "Royal" or with a gift, it is a certain indication that it is made from alum, and is to be avoided under all circumstances. TMS LAST lOVER.

The curious story connected "Witii tins little spot of land, and the one which gives it the name it bears is this, according to an odd Asiatic legend: The first inhabitants of the fur north did not employ dogs, but drew their walrus rib sleds themselves. After ages had elapsed men made an attempt tonse the dogs of that region which, by the way, talked just as men do as beasts of burden. The talking dogs, however, argned the ease with their would be masters and were not long in proving tlnii they had enough to do to catch game for themselves and the children of men. But the men soon learned the use .of the bow mnl the spear, thns raining the occupation of the talking dogs, Again an attempt was made to harness them to sledges, but the talking canines rebelled, and all swam ont to the island, afterward known by the title given in the opening. Here game was scarce and the dogs soon turned cannibals, and by the end of the first winter there were only seven left. ' Some hnman Kamchatkans volun teered to rowout to the island and bring off the remnant of the dog colony. But the dogs refused to leave their barren island, each earnestly asking: "What people are you? We have never seen yon before." For this untruth Chaini, the dog god, took their voices from them, and until this day they have been the dumb servants of man. St. Louis ftepnblio.

Once each year, on June 3, which is, according to Arabian legends the anniversary of the death of Abel, the doors to the tomb of our first mother remain open all night, no odds what precautions are taken to keep them closed. Terrible cries of an guish are said to emit from the tomb, as though the memory of the first known tragedy still haunted the remains which blind superstition believe to be deposited there.

' In return for his kindness Mr. Post painted for Sitting Bull two large pict ures of his two tiivorite ponies, Dry Camp and Never Fret, which so pleased the old chief that ho said he would like to present him with sometning in return for the compliment. Noticing a large war club hanging up in the chiefs tepee, Mr. Post said ho would like to have It.
