In tie following fact1 which show why Royal"
is tie best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal-it sale greater in this
country than the sale of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
It is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
It makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
It never loses its strength, but win keep
fresh and of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, SO that none
of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
It makes food that win keep sweet. moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it IS made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. It is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power It has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor of its business ever since is still at
the head Of its management. Thus all the

SOUTH SEA ARMOR.
Coats of Mail Made OF Cocoa Fiber q
Human Hair.

Coats of Mail Made Of Cocoa Fiber and
Human Hair.
The academy of sciences has added to
the treasures of the museum a complete
suit of ancient armor from the Gilbert
islands. Also some odd pieces of war
like paraphernalia used or worn by the
dusky warriors. All of these articles
are believed to be at least one hundred
years old.
The coat of mail and helmet, all in
one piece, looks when off the wearer
like q big wicker chair. When on, the
back of the chair apparently rises
above the wearer's head, which passes
up through the seat of the chair. The
low arms, which are really straps, pass
over his shoulders. The solid portion
of the lower part is the corselet, fasten-
ing around the body.
This curious garment IS made of CO.
coanut fiber, twisted around and
around over thick cords, making a
dense fabric stiff and stout as board.
In color it resembles unbleached linen.
which it is embroidered in regular pat
tern suggesting grotesque human fig
ures. This curious needlework is exc
cuted with cords made Of twisted hui
man hair.
With the singular garment just de-
scribed are worn yoke and pair OF
sleeves, also in one piece. Also, pair
of leggings with short skirt at the top
The skirt. leRgings, sleeves and yoke
are made of brown cocoanut
fiber, braided and knotted, until
it looks very much like the
common cocoa mating. The thick
ness Of these garments is something
surprising. 1t would seem that arrows
or spears could not penetrate this fab
rio The coat of mail keeps all por-
lions of the costume in place. The
chair-like projection above the head is
intended to ward off arrows
The work of making this costume
must have been incredibly tedious,
Judging by the fneness and regularity
of twist, stitch, strand and mesh. No
doubt this outfit of heather warrior,
represents the labor of years and the
slavery of women. Possibly, carnage
in addition, as the hair used may have
been taken from slain captives.
With the suit of armor are two
spears, one eleven feet in length, the
other fourteen. They are long. pointed
sticks of cocoanut wood, armed with
aha rk's teeth. The teeth are polished
until they are smooth and white as
ivory. Each tooth il knotted to the
wood by . cord made Of human hair,
passing through hole drilled in the
tooth and another drilled in the wood
The shorter spear has nfnety-eight
teeth, the longer one one hundred.
About the middle of each stick q
curious piece of skin Il fastened to the
wood. This skin Is as thick as the
.toutest leather and covered with sharp,
white tooth-liks projections No one
connected with the academy knows
what the skin Il, - nothing like it has
ever been seen here before. The ex-
hibit il accompanied by broad, curv-
ing band Of the same skin. but whether

A THUNDER STORM.

All Nature Let Loose In Her Fury Among
the Andes.
THE people of this country do not
know what a thunder storm is, assert
ed Juan Segarez, a native of Peru.
''You must go to the mountains of the
tropics if you want to see the bolts OF
Olympian Jove and hear his thunders
roll.
There is no sight on earth so grand
as a midnight thunder storm in the
Andes. Byron describes night storm
in the Alps, and it appears inexpressi-
bly, grand to those who have never felt
the solid earth rock beneath the terrific
electric discharges and seen the forked
bolts rend gigantic rocks from noun
tam peaks and send them crashing
down into well-nigh bottomless chasms.
81 spent a night in the Andes in the
summer of 'ss. Our party was encamped
in q basin, walled in by three snow
capped peaks. Shortly after midnight
q sudden thunder storm came up. and
those three peaks seemed to be encir-
cled with fiery blue serpents. that coiled
and famed and darted their fiery
tongues across the triangular space at
each other for an hour. while the peals
of thunder followed in such quick sue
cession that 1t seemed one continual
crash-like an endless crack Of doom.
''Bowldera larger than any building
ever erected by man were torn from the
crags and hurled into the valleys, while
the rain came down like . second deluge,
swelling in . few minutes every tiny
rivulet to torrents that roared like
Niagara The storm ceased as suddenly
rs 1t began, the torrents disappeared,
the stars shone out and . silence like
the grave succeeded the awful pande-
