WHY SOME OF THEM ARE NOT PURE.

The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder is
fact not questioned by anyone but the questions fire.
quenty asked Why do other manufacturers aso put
up pure baking powders free from lime alum and other
adulterans Is fact that the Royal is the only pure
and wholesome baking powder made
There are three classes Of these articles: The cheap
powders which are made Of alum and concededly
poisonous the phosphate powders containing from to IL
per cent Of lime which an ingredient of the phosphate
used in them and inseparable from it; and the of
tartar powders.
The cream Of tartar baking powders to which class
the Royal belongs be pure must be made from abso-
utey pure materials The ordinary cream OF tartar OF the
market contains lime The Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream Of specially refined and prepared for
its use by patent processes by which the lime is totally
eliminated There is other process by which cream OF
tartar can be freed from meade 100 per cent pureln
quantities practical for commercial purposes Other bak
ing powder makers being able to obtain these chem
icaly pure goods (which are used exclusively in the RoyaD
are dependent upon the OF tartar OF the market,
refined by the od-fashoned methods by which it is i'm
possible to remove the lime and other impurities.
These are the reasons why the Royal is absolutely
pure, while other baking powders contain lime or alum
The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder not
only renders perfectly wholesome but its freedom
from all exaneous substances makes it OF higher leaven
ing strength and effectiveness

There has been a strange and unusual
sight presented in Pioneer Hall in this citv
for the past few mornings. DIR. EVANS,
who should Justly be classed as one of
the wonders of the medical world, has.
by few simple passes of the hand,
restored sight to the blind, hearing TO
the deaf, and cured large numbers
of all kinds of chronic invalids suffer
lnS from almost every conceivable form of
disease. His cures are simply remarkable,
and those who came to scof have departed
full OF belief What his gift OF healing is,
or what power he possesses, cannot per
haps be satisfactorily explained, but the
sense OF seeing and hearing cannot be de-
MED, aud those who have attended his
lectures and treatments each morning at
Pioneer Hall saw these Strange cures per-
formed.
\ gentleman who had to be helped upon
The stage stated to the audience that tor
years he had suffered from the worst form
OF sciatic rheumatism. and for weeks he
has suffered SO excrutiatingly, night and
day, that sleep was q stranger to him.
When DIR. EVANS first treated him he
was unable to stand without support, and
IN less than five minutes he had him
stamping his feet and dancing around the
stage well man.
The next was a lady who was almost
totally deaf. She was perfectly cured in q
few minutes. Then came young man
who was blind in one eye. After few
passes from the doctors hand he could
read fine print. Numerous cases of neu-
ralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, dyspepsia,
paralysis, etc, were also cured and sent on
their way rejoicing.
DIR. EVANS will continue to treat the
afflicted poor free at Pioneer Hall, on
Seventh street, between J and K streets,
every morning next week. After next
week he will only treat the poor at the
above hall on Saturday mornings. He has
parlors 90 and 66 at the Golden Eagle
Hotel, where those who are able and will
ing to pay may come from 10 A. NJ. to Z P.
NJ. of each day, for about thirty days
longer. His consultation at the hotel
is free; admission to Pioneer Hall also
free. No one should fail to spend an
hour at Pioneer Hall and witness this won
derful mans power over disease for he will
certainly astopish Won. II

People who have gone to the exposi-
ton at Richmond speak of the many
handsome women seen in the crowds
there. This observation Is no doubt well
founded. Richmond is o very provincial
city in many respects, but she is metro
politan If not cosmopolitan in the beauty
of hes women, if this meant that the
beauty of her women is unsurpassed.
There are no pre-emincnt bellies in Rich
mond now as there were in the days
closely following tho war, when Matte
Ould transfxed with both her wit and
beauty everybody she met, but what has
been lost in individual celebrities has
been more than made up in a great multi
tude of wonderfully attractive women
Many of them are blondes. There is o
larger proportion of blonde women In
Richmond than In any other city in the
country. This comes naturally and
lawfully from their English ancestry.
There Is very little of the Spanish or
French intermixture found in Virginia,
and hence the creole type of beauty is
rarely seen In the state. The world
runs after blondes nowadays, especially
after blonde or golden hair; and such
hair rs the Richmond women havel 1t
Is a special connection of the genial
southern sun, and is as distinct In its
beauty as the golden leaf tobacco for
which Virginia is SO celebrated. If q
man were starting out generally in
search of a bride, IL he were willing to
allow himself to drift where the Ameri-
can woman reaches the pink and apex
of physical perfection and attractiveness,
he ought to drift towards Richmond

p-ereneration OF the Human Teeth.

The law of r~etardation exhibits itself
In the teeth of the higher races of mankind
In q highly i~nconvenient manne The
greatly developed brain requires all the
available room IN the skull; there Is no
space left for the attachment of muscles
for a powerful jaw. Cooked food also
auses q ~degeneracy in the development
of the jaw. There is constantly no room
left for either the wisdom teeth or the
second upper incisors; the wisdom teeth
are retarded, often cause great pain, and
decay early. The second incisors appear
In startling and unexpected places, and
often Tin America especially do not cut
the gum ut all. Professor Cope says that
American dentists nave observed that
the third molar teeth wisdom teeth) are
In natives Of the United States very liable
to imperfect growth or suppression, and
to q degree entirely unknown among saw
age or even many civilized races"
The same suppression has been observed
in the outer pair of superior incisors.
This is owing not only to a reduction In
the size of the arches of the jaws, but to
successfully prolonged delay in the ap-
pearance of the teeth. In the same way
men, and the man like apes, have fewer
teeth than the lower monkeys, and these
again fewer than the -insectivorous mann
mails to which they are most nearly allied.
When this difference in dentition he's
been established, civilized man may claim
to place himself in q new species, apart
from low savRges as well as from high

Sound and Color Sensations.

The phenomenon of co%lor-audition was
first brought to the attention of the sci
entifc world by DR.. N~ussbaumer, of Vi
enna, who, when n child, was engaged
with his brother one day in striking q
fork against a glass to hear the ring,
when he discovered that he saw colors at
the same time that he perceived the
sound; and SO well did he perceive the
color, that, when he stopped his ears, he
could divine by 1t how loud a sound the
fork had produced. DR.. Nussbaumer was
tions nearly identical ones made by a
medical student in Zurich. Later on, NJ.
Pedrono, an ophthalmologist of Nantes,
observed the same peculiarities In a friend.
In these cases musical sounds gave sensa-
lions varying the color according to the
instrument played upon, thus showing
the dependence of the phenomenon upon
the timbre. For instance. the %saxophone
gave yellow sensations; the clarionet, red;
the plano. blue. Henri de Parville, in
Popular Science Monthly, says: Popular
expressions are often significant. i saw
three dozen lights of all %colors,' or some
such expression, may frequently DO heard
from persons who have received violent
blows on the head or face. Under the in
huence of shocks of this kind. the eye
seems to see infinite numbers of sparks.
Shocks of a certain class impressed upon
the nervous system seem to have the fac
ulty Of producing phenomena of light.
There are persons endowed with such
sensibility that they cannot hear a sound
without at the same time pe~rceiving
colors. Each sound to them has its pecu-
liar color: this word corresponds with red,
and that one with green; one note is blue,
and another Is yelow.-Science.

Railway nul. In rarl,.nsnt.

Few OF the outside public can have any
idea OF the enormous cost Of getting n
railway bill through parliament The
parliamentary, surveying and engineering
costs of the Kendall and Windermere
company amounted to a trihe over 2 per
cent. on the whole expenditure on the
line. OF parliamentary costs the Brighton
railway averaged e4,S 500 per mile; Man
chester and Birmingham. e5. 100; Black
wall, e14.414 These figures are almost
beyond belief, when we consider that
some English lines in favorable positions
cost altogether only e10, 900 per mile.
The Brighton line for two sessions fought
q desperate battle against several other
companies, and when its bill came before
the committee the expenses of counsel
and witnesses amounted to over $1,000 q
day, and the discussion of the measure
lasted fifty days
The solicitors bill Of the Southeastern
railway contained 10000 folios, occupy
ing twelve months In tarations and
amounted to e240, coo. Ono company
found such difficulty In getting their bill
through its prelimtrAry stages that at
last, when they had reached the long de-
sired last stage, they had already spent
nearly a million of money, n this simply
for obtaining the privilege of making the
railway. OF the terrible costs which have
been incurred only to lead to ultimate
failure, one instance will be sufficient.
Tho discussion upon the Stone and Rugby
bill lasted sixty-siI sitting days, from
February till August, 1889; and In the
year 1910 the measure was defeated, after
having resulted in q loss Of R148, 900 to
its unhappy promoters.
It is needless to say that such enormous
expenditure cripples many a railway, and
preventS its shareholders from ever earn
Ing good dividends. Tho ceaseless
energy, untiring perseverance and neat
diplomacy which have to be shown In
pushing a railway bill to a successful is
sue are almost beyond belief; but it is
much to be desired that some means
should be discovered of keeping down the
expenses which SO often go far to ruin a
line ven before 1t has begun working

Astronomers claim hat they know
Mars has aqueous vapor in its atmos.
phcre, but they do not know which part
of its surface forms this by evaporation.
Their theories follow their observations
rapidly, and very few theories com to be
substantiated. From the days when DR..
Dick wrote, and suggested plans of open
ing communications with the supposed
Inhabitants of she moon, to the present,
the widest ideas have constantly at
tended the steady, practical Investigation
Uf astronomers. Yet the astronomer plods
on with the instrument maker, and each
century adds its results to those of what
has been attained before, and though
many wild theories attend zach discovery
the discovery itself remains while most
Of the theories die.
However. there is some reason for in.
ferring hat Mars is composed of land
and water. The water seems to be al
ways connected. Even the so called
canals connect with the seas, being of the
same color, and no canal ends in the center
