Royal Baking Powder
Strongest, Purest, Most Economical.
As to whether nny of the baking powders are equal to
the " Royal," the official tests clearly determine. 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.

A Curloua Northern Legend.
On the coast of. Kamchatka there in
n island known as "The Island of Talk
. ingDogs.'' 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

Tlie Tomb of Bva, "
The Arabs claim that Eve's tomb is at
Jiildab, tin; seaport of Mecca, The tem
ple, with a palm tree growing out of a
crack in tne rock roof, which is of itself
one of the wonders of the orient, is sup
posed to lie bnilt directly over the last
resting place of the first woman. Ac
cording to Arab tradition Eve meas
ured over 200 feet in height, which, un
likely as it may seem, strangely coiu
' eides with an account of oar first par
ents written by a member of the French
academy, who also claimed a height of
over 200 feet for both of the tenants of
the garden of Eden. ;
Eve's tomb, which isa burying grotind
that is surrounded by a high wall, the
gate to which has not been opened for a
single interment for over 1,000 years, is
the shrine of thousands of devoted Ish-
maelites. who make a pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. 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. Philadelphia Press.

The killing of Sitting Bull, the famous
Indian chief, recalls the foot that Mr.
Max E. Diokoraon is the proud possessor
of this great chiefs private warciub.
Mr. Dickwson secured the club from
Elroy Post, a scenic artist in the employ
of the Union Pud lie Railroad company,
who received it as a present from Hitting
Bull himself. Mr. Post was doing some
work for the railroad company at the
time in and around Sitting Hull's head
quarters, und the chief took great
liking to him, but would have nothing
to do with the rest of the men, although
there were six in the party, lie took
Mr. Post all through his camp, intro
duced him to different Indians, and
made tilings as pleasant for him as pos
sible. '
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.
Sitting Bull mentioned the font that the
club was an old relic, had been in serv
ice over forty years, passed through
numerous tattles, and because of its
curiosity he would gie it to him. Upon
Mr. Post's return to Aberdeen, 8. I).. he
shipped the relic to Mr. Diokorson, who
