PROTECTS USERS OF '« ROYAL." Bakinir Powder Company Wins Ita Case in United States Court. The decision of Judge Sliowalter In a recent ease that came up before liim sustain* the claims of the Royal com­ pany to the exclusive use of the name "Royal" as a trademark for its baking jtowdcr. The special importance of this decision consists in the protection which it assures to the millions of con­ sumers of Royal baking powder against Inferior and unwholesome compounds. The excellence of this article has caus­ ed it to be highly esteemed and largely used almost the world over. Its high standard of quality having been always maintained, consumers have come to rely implicitly upon the "Royal" brand as .the most wholesome and efficient of any in the market. The cupidity of oth­ er manufacturers js excited by this high reputation "and large demand. Very few of the bundreds:o£ baking powders on the market are safe to use. If their makers pouId sell them under the naine of a well-known,.reputable brand incal­ culable damage would be (loile to .the public health foy. the deception. The . determination -of the Royal.. Baking Powdef Company to protect the users of Royal baking- powder against imi­ tators-by a rigid prnseyrttl-oji of them makes such imitations.of its brand e's- ' . tremely rare. . - .

Clailoway. a sum*! mary of whose conclusions is given by the Gardeners' Chronicle. The weight and size of the seed are of great impor­ tance. A large seed germinates better Sind more quickly, and with it one can count upon having at the same moment from Sr. to 00 per cent of the total crop, while with small seeds the crop reaches maturity only in successive periods of time, so that at no moment in-gathering the crop in toto could we have the same proportion of the whole. Besides, where with small, seeds four successive crops Are" obtained, we have six with large seeds, their evolution occurring with greater rapidity. rAKINGJHflNCES, WOMEN ARE CARELESS. They Over-Estimate Their Physical Strength. Advice to Young Women. T SPECIAL TO OCI1 LADY READERS ] Women are very apt to overestimate their strength and overtax it. When they are feel­ ing particularly well, they sometimes take 5i» chances which in the long run cause them much pain and trou­ ble. This is due "largely to tneir not fully realizing how delicate their sen­ sitive organism is. The girl w ho has just become a wo­ man can hardly be expected to act wisely, everything is so new to her. Mie, however, should be told: and every woman should realize that, to be well her '• monthly periods' ' should be regular. Wet feet, or a cold, from exposure, may suppress or render irregular and fearfully painful the men­ ses. and perhaps sow the seed for future ill health. Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound will ever be the unfailing remedy in such cases as well as all the peculiar ailments of women. Millions of women live to prove this. Mrs. M. L.

The amusing story which has lately gone the rounds about the lady novelist who, having entered upon the tenancy of a rickety dwelling, asked the land­ lord of the same that she might be ah lowed to name it, and then had "Jerry- Built Hut" carved.upon the front, lias had many parallels of late years. Not very long ago a sarcastic tenant advertised in several newspapers to the following effect: "Wanted, by gentle­ man who agreed to leave dwelling oc­ cupied by him as he found it on enter­ ing same. iOO.OOO lively Mack beetles," and then followed the advertiser's pri­ vate address. Not" very long ago, too, a case was reported in the papers, in which it appeared that the owner of a flat had given notice to quit to a lady whose tenancy of the flat had only just commenced, and who had, at great ex- p^nsey !liad the rooms newly papered and decorated. Wlien this lady receiv­ ed the no'tHce'to quit she and her maid ..promptly set -to work with the black- lead and blacking bKiiske§ respectively, and the whilom flower besprinkled walls sqon assumed a most funereal hue. -. Some little time siuc.e a .well-known 'barrister--a lawyer certainly ought to have read' the tenancy, agreement-^on entering Upon a house iu, a fashionable west Cud row. unwittingly bound him• .self .to paint the whole of the. exterior of the dwelling. On finding what an expense, he had made himself liable for, lie remonstrated with the land­ lord, who simply smilet^ and declared that the bond must be fulfilled. Then did the wily barrister cause the whole front of bis house to be paiuted in stripes of vivid green, yellow and pink, greatly to the chagrin of the fashion­ able neighbors, who were the tenants of the same landlord. In vain did the landlord storm: the barrister tenant threatened, unless the bond be can­ celed, to have the. back of the bouse painted like a rainbow, with huge black spots covering at at intervals.

'y last the stream of moltOn lava flowing down tho flank of the vol­ cano, on the side toward Naples, buried a largo section of the • carriage road by which tourists ascend the mountain. About two months later a correspond­ ent of The Youth's Companion visited Naples and climbed Vesuvius. At the point where the lava had cut across the road the mountain guides had strueted a foot path over the which had already formed <>n tli face of the stream of molten rock.

Occasionally a blast of heat, rising from under his feet, reminded the trav­ eler of what was beneath him, while here and there large, ragged holes vomited steam and sulphurous vapors into his face. In several places, one of which was but a few feet from the path, the molt­ en lava was still gushing from rents in the crust. It f lowed downward with a creeping motion, its surface being curi­ ously roughened by seams running crosswise in spell a manner as to give the red-hot mass something tho appear­ ance of a g'igantie burning worm, sev­ eral rods in length and twenty or thirty feet broad, issuing out of the black side of the mountain, and slowly twisting its way along with successive contrac­ tions and expansions of its glowing segments. The surface was already hardening while it flowed, and a stone thrown up­ on it. although making a dent, rebound­ ed and skipped along without sinking into the fiery paste. One could stand within a yard 'of the edge and thrust the point of a cane or umbrella into the moving lava. The heat that struck the hands and face was -not greater than that encountered at the open door of a furnace or close to a grate of burn­ ing coal. - .fpw C01D «p\ Lucie . ;a n- Hi, there! <• ct out of that!

Bubbles or Medals. " Best sarsaparillas." When you think of it how contradictory that term is. For there can be only one best in anything--one best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is ? .... There's the rub ! You can measure mountain height' and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparilla ? You could, if you. were chemists. But then, do you need to test it? The World's Fair Committee tested it,--and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla te'st result in? Every make of sarsaparilla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's was the only sarsaparilla admitted to the World's Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer's Sarsaparilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word " best " is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowing more "best sarsaparilla" bubbles since the World's Fair pricked the old ones. True, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla has the medal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold.

The new law regulating enlistments has greatly im­ proved the personnel of the army, and has not impeded required enlistments. Of 7.780 men recruited during the year 3,318 were native born. The strictness of the examinations, physical, mental wild moral, may be measured from the fact that . '58.240 applicants were rejected. The addition of two companies to each of twenty-five infantry regiments, and two foot batteries-to each of five artil­ lery regiments is recommended. Four companies is the size command recom­ mended for one officer 's control. 111 crease from 800 to 2,000' yards in effectiveness of small arms is noted.

In Chinese Villages. Mr. Woldon and I often went Into the villages, walking between the fields of shivering rice, but far ofteuer the villagers came to see us in our house boat--men. women, babies, dogs and all. Always some little side canal, the offshoot of the main waters ay, was the only street between or before the vil­ lage houses. There was always the towpath, but the best route was by a second path leading behind the houses. 15.v following that we passed through the farms and yards. We saw the men and women thrashing the rice by beat­ ing a log with handfulls of it to scatter the kernels 011 the ground. We saw the farmers turning the soil over and breaking it up laboriously, or punching holes in the thick clay, dropping seeds in them, and then smearing the holes over with a rake. We went into the inner courts of the better houses, and noted how the men, and even the tiniest baby boys, thrust themselves forward to greet us, while the women and girls slunk behind or merely peeped through the doorways and open windows--the latter being Elizabethan contrivances, framed for little panes of oiled paper or the enamelled inner- coating of sea- shells. White goats, wolfish dogs, com­ mon-sense chickens, hump-backed cows and nose-led buffaloes make up the an­ imal life that is so painfully missing in Japaii and so abundant iu China. The IJalky Horse. Notwithstanding the fact that the press continually admonishes whom it may concern that it does 110 good to whip or pound a balky horse, almost every owner or driver of one does it to­ day. It is probably the greatest piece of horse folly in existence. It is not a remnant of barbarism, says the Nation­ al Stockman, but is continued barbar­ ity. and brings out what original and acquired sin there Is in a man. The brain of a horse can retain but one idea at a time. If the idea is to sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A change of that idea, then, is the only successful method of management This may be accomplished in scores of ways, a few of which will be named: Tie a handkerchief about his eyes; tie his tail tightly to the belly-band or back band; fasten a stL-k inihis mouth; tie a cord tightly about his leg; uncheck and pet him awhile; clasp his nostrils and shut his Wind off until he wants to go; unhitch him f^om the vehicle and then hitch him up again, or-almost ̂ ny way to get his mind on tiouiething else. Whipping or scolding always does harm. The treatment should ever be gentle. There are more balky drivers than horses.

An A jed KaiehtsvUle Miner's Story; From the Democvat, Brazil, hid. Mr. Alexander McCalluin, of Knights- yille, Ind.. was a-sufferer .for-many years with rheumatism. A reporter of tiie"Bra­ zil Democrat visited him at iris home in Knightsvjfle and was told the following: •"'So you Want..to kuo\v fiow bad ! was and" what cured me.V For a number of years' past I,have been a terrible sufferer .1 from, that excruciatingly painfuL attiic- j t ion, chronic rheumatism. For years L! have suffered more or less with tfjfis pain-J ful malady,"sometimes ;beiug so afflicted' j that 1'could get -no relief day or night; .1 could not get around without a ea'ne for yea'rs; and often if I dropped it I could not stoop to pick it up. 1 was a sufferer, more or less, almost all the time, and sometimes I would get a little better and would try to work. I remember one time I was taken very bad with rheumatic pains while at work, and it took me more than two hours to walk home, a distance of less than a mile. "During all these : .years 1 had spent - nearly all my wages in paying doctor's bills and buying medicine, b,ut kept grad­ ually growing worse, until I could not walk without the aid of my cane, and one of my legs had begun to become paralyzed and to shrink away. Mr. Mack Rogers, of Brazil, sent me an article of Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and told me to read it. 1 did so and was induced to try the remedy. I bought, a box and began taking the pills, however, with but little faith in them, as everything else had failed to give me relief. I had not taken the first box until, to my astonishment and great joy. the pains were less severe, and farther apart; by the time the con­ tents of the first box was gone I was greatly relieved, and I purchased the second box. My condition continued to improve and I kept buying pills until 1 am at last free of pain, eat well, sloop well, and can do a day's work once more, have thrown away my cane, and can get around spry and quick: have outgrown un­ clothes nnd have gained more thjus. twen­ ty pounds in flesh since I began taking the pills. They are the greatest pills on enrWi to-day. 1 have great faith in them, and can conscientiously recommend them to anybody. I am almost a new man again, thanks to Pink Pills." The reporter further confirmed thi>- story by asking McCallum if he would verify this statement before the proper officer, and he subscribed to the followinir Prices of Wild Animals. According to M. Gambier Bolton, lions fetch $1,500 each; Won cubs. $500 each; tiger cubs. $400; a Malayan tapir. $500; a young hippopotamus, $2,500; girafTs, up to $">.000 apiece; while Afri­ can elephants cannot be purchased in Europe at any price: There is more catarrh In this Paction of tho country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed-to be in­ curable.

Consumers should ask for, and be sure that they get, the genuine Walter Baker & Co.'s goods. WALTER BAKER & CO., Limited, DORCHESTER, MASS. Mr. J. C. Nelson, editor and proprietor of the Bath County World, published at Sharpsburg. Ky., writes, under date of .Inne IS, - ,189o: "I have recently commenced using the Tabules for constipation. Mrs. W. T. Duckworth, of Thomson, Clark County, Kentucky, who is visiting here, has tried Ripans Tabules and found them a good thing. She used to suffer greatly with headache, due, no doubt, to indigestlob and constipation, and tried every kind of remedy, but could find no relief until she begau using Ripans Tabules. The first Tabule gave relief, and now headache is a stranger. The indi­ gestion and constipation disap­ peared and she never felt better in her life. She considers Ripans Tabules the best medicine in the world for the above disorders and never intends to be without them again. (Signed) "MRS. W. T. DUCKWORTH."
