Mr.. Jefferson has given a most
graphical and beautiful description
of this stupendous work of nature.
The author deems it hardly
necessary to attempt any additional
description, except in one or two
instances. The author saw this
place for the first time in the month
of June, 1919. He again called to
see it in the month Of August, 1886.
When he first saw il, he was alone,
and had crossed it before he knew
he was near it. He inquired at a
house very near to it, and was
informed by one Of the inmates
that he had just crossed it, who
then directed me the way to get to
it. Descending into a deep glen, |
had to dismount my horse and
walk up the margin of a fine stream
of beautiful clear water, until | ap'

SUSPICION ATTACHES TO THEM.


the food of every family has been found
more villainously adulterated than baking
powder. For the purpose of underselling
those powders of absolute purity and
wholesomeness which alone are safe for
use in food, hundreds of dealers are put
ting up baking powders with cheap and
adulterated cream of tartar, which con-
tains lime, earth, ETC., adding strength by
the free use of alum.
These adulterated powders are showed"
upon the public with the greatest per-
sistency. Many are given away-left in
samples at private residences with circu-
lars containing bogus analysis and certifi-
Gates and false representations as to their
value, etc. The worst Of them are intro
duced to the house-keepers attention by
fraudulent tricks or by bogus samples,
the articles when purchased being found
entirely different from the sample shown.
The fact that a powder is sampled from
door to door is sufficient to condemn it.
A first-class article will sell on it's merits.
No manufacturer whose goods are of value
can not afford to give them away, or to
test them from door to door, and none
but the cheapest make and most unmar-
ketable goods require to be distributed
free in order to get the public to use
them, and this method is adopted only by
parties who have failed to dispose of their
wares through ordinary and legitimate
channels.
Free samples of articles of food left at
the house should be regarded with suspi-
cion. There is no guarantee of their
wholesomeness, while there is real danger
that they contain a fatal poisoned com
pound. Many instances of poisoning
from the use of such samples are recorded.
The only safe way is to consign all such
samples Immediately to the ash Darrell,
and turn deaf ear to the statements
made by their vendors. 1t is not worth
while to trife with life and health to the
extent of testing every doubtful baking
powder that comes along. Better to rely
upon an old and reliable brand, like the
Royal, which has by quarter of a century's
constant use proved its perfect whole
someness and efficiency, or some other
brand that is not so worthless and cheap
that its proprietors can afford to give it
away by the cart-load or waste it making
innumerable tests. 1t is in its favor that
the Royal Baking Powder is never given
away, sold by means of lotteries nor ac-
companied by chrOmos, spoons, crockery
or other gifts, except the gifts of absO-
Lutte purity, wholesomeness, full weight,
and superlative leavening power. Its own
merits have been its chief advertisement,
and they have secured for it the constant
patronage of the American people to an
extent beyond the combined sale of all
other baking powders. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder is certified by all the govern
ment chemists as absolutely pure and
perfect.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYED.

Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN. has an
article in the March Century on ''The
Strength and Weakness of Socialism," in
which he says: Instead therefore, of
pulling down the existing order, as the
socialists propose, the thing to be done is
to enlarge its foundation. They are right
in saying chat an industrial system whose
sole motive power is self-interest and
whose sole regulative principle is compe-
tition will end in pandemonium; but they
are foolish in thinking that humanity
will thrive under system which discards
or cripples these self-regarding forces.
What is needed is the calling into action
of the good will which is equally part of
human nature. This also must be made
an integral part of the industrial system,
it must be the business of the employer
to promote the welfare of his worknen,
and the business of the workmen to pro-
mote the interest of their employer. The
organization of labor must be such that
one class cannot prosper without directly
and perceptibly increasing the prosperity
of the other. This is the true remedy for
the evils of which the socialists complain
The reform needed is not the destruction
but the Christianization of the present
order"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-03-18

the pyramids may be reviewed the mem
cries of five thousand years, and above
and within the earth, that surrounds
Cairo, the magnificent" live the almost
eternal evidences of ages of wondrous
human attainments. Here the Nile flows
down from amidst the records of grand
eur, as superb as it is ancient Here the
world, in years gone by, came to rob a
country of its antiquities; but now diff
erent system has been adopted. All an
tlquities are now the property of the
Egyptian government, there being no
other proprietary interest in them, ex-
cept through special arrangement with
the government for an interest in excava-
tions, or by absolute purchase from it.
Mummies were once used in great num-
berS for fertllizing purposes, but now they
have grown scarce and can be bought only
at great expense. A good mummy will
cost from 5000 francs upwards, to a very
great price if the remains of an ancient
Egyptian of rank-the greater the rank
the greater the price. The poorest mum
mics of common people cost from 1000
to 5000 francs. After few years it will
be very difficult to get one of any sort.
AL are III
creasing in value, for curiosity seekers as
well as governments have been drawing
for many centuries on Egypt for its Won
ders. The museum of Egyptian curiosi-
ties in the Vatican, for instance, is won
drous collection, worth a fabulous sum.
And so have Egyptian antiquities been
collected at many places throughout the
world. Under circumstances, now exist
ing, which require all antiquities to be re-
jected for the Boolak museum, here, be-
fore they can be sold to go into other
hands than the governmental be re-
tanned in Egypt or sent abroad-it is
more difficult than ever to secure the
mementoes referred to. And yet have
learned enough, seen enough, to know
that, if it were so desired, could, during
my stay here, make a valuable collection
for the university.
l, therefore, write to you, this card,
upon the subject, not knowing how long
one so interested in Texas as am may be
here to serve the state If I had the
privilege of using reasonable amount of
money, per annum, could collect and
forward a neucleus, which, when the uni
versity has more money to spare, might
lead to my making varied purchases. 1t
would give me great pleasure to serve in
the capacity indicated, and, were COM
missioned to such end, would, besides,
entail expense upon myself to carry out
its objects. l would regret to see this OPP
portunity pass away without the realiza-
ton present
If the university should be unable to do
what is d sired, could not society for
creating museum be organized among
individuals. The university professors,
Judge Terrell, Judge Hancock, Lewis
Hancock, Mr.. Raymond, the Bremonds,
Colonel Breckenridge, Mr. Driskill, Mr..
Day, Mr.. Tipps, Judge Rector and E. Z.
Moore, yourself and many other men, in
Guiding state officials, might organize
society to collect curiosities, natural and
artificial, at home and from abroad. 1t
would be noble purpose, which would be
rewarded in manner to engender the
greatest pride. What think you?
Yours very truly,
JOHN CALDWELL.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The following interesting article is fur
nished to the Ohio Poultry Journal by II.
B. Geer, and puts the question of poultry
just where it should be seen, in the light
of dollars and cents. But to come right
to the poultry questions:
"What we practical poultry keepers
want is more light on the subject of the
cost of keeping fowls, and the average
number of eggs that each hen will lay an
nually, and the variation of the different
breeds in this respect. Moreover, we
want the men who sell us poultry at fancy
prices, to give us their laying record.
Feathers soon fade and fall out Eggs
count in dollars and cents, and thus may
be converted into something substantial
1t is hard to sell fowls to the masses
simply on their brilliancy of plumage.
But if we can prove that there is money
in poultry keeping for every one who
keep fowls intelligently and cares for
them right, then people will generally seek
after them.
81 present herewith what little knowl-
edge have CLEANED on the subject:
"My fowls are kept in an ordinary town
lot, and / buy everything they eat, in
Guiding green food and meat.
"The average cost of food for each fowl
during the seven mon this have kept. them
has been about cents per month, or at
the rate of 60 cents per year. Perhaps
have fed too literally. / have not fed
sparingly, for my fowls are we'll and in
good condition.
"Now, there is one question, suppose,
about the laying qualities of hen being
transmitted to her Progeny. Hence, no
matter what breed person has, in order
to keep up and improve the standard of
laying it is very necessary that birds used
for breeding purposes should be known to
be from the very best layers in the flock
Whether said birds selected for breeding
purposes be male or female, it matters not.
The result is the same.
"The economic value of our fowls must
not be allowed to become demOralized for
the sake of improving their feathers. Ev-
cry poultry keeper cannot sell fowls for
from So to $40 per pair, or eggs from 81
to So per dozen. We must, therefore,
prove that poultry may be, or is, profita-
BILE at ordinary market prices.
~ am not Header in Israel | march
with the rank and file of the poultry keep
ers. Eggs are what am after.
II wish the fraternity generally would
give us more information in regard to the
cost of maintenance and the average lay
ing qualities of their fowls"

"a telegram was received yesterday af-
ternoon, from Miss Lily Hollingsworth,
at Austin, stating that her amateur COM
pany would play Ingomar on Tuesday
evening, at Turner hall. This change
was made necessary on account of the hall
having been engaged for Saturday. The
