Do You Wish the
Finest Bread and Cake ?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the
purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweetest
most delicious food.
The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and strong
est makes the most digestible and wholesome food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of
the baking powder which will give her the best food
with the least trouble?
Dr. Hanes, of Rush Medical College Consulting
Chemist of the Chicago Board of Health says "Royal
is only the purest but the strongest baking powder
with which am acquainted"

The Development of Siam.

The Siamese sovereigns have usually
been men of considerable ability and in
energy and enlightenment are superior
to most Asiatic potentates. The late
king of Siam and his successor have
done what they could to introduce the
forms of western civilization. Bangkok
the capital, has the electric light, tram
cars and government Offices of European
architecture, and tho present king has
also shown himself.a reformer of abuses,
especially of the worst of Siamese social
evils, the universality of serfdom and
the prevalence of slavery.
Further and much needed reforms are
expected from him, but even were the
political and fiscal administration of the
kingdom very much better than it is the
Siamese, lighthearted nation of Bud
dhists, fond of amusement and accus-
toned to frequent holidays, are little
fitted to develop the great resources of
their country.
The internal trade is chiefly in the
hands of Cinnamon, who, with the

Tho Clever Dog.

A large, healthy bulldog was sitting to-
tally unaware of the dog catchers wagon,
which came rattling down the street at
that moment Suddenly the fatal lariat
shot out, but the dog lodged it and made
bee line for the man who handled it.
Then ensued an exciting chase, which
was much enjoyed by the populace in the
vicinity.
The dog catcher is never very popular
with people in general In this instance
he succeeded in clambering into his
wagon minus his coattails.
A skirmish then ensued, which ended
in the temporary triumph of the dog,
who retired to repose on his laurels. The
dog catcher came back from ignomini-
GUS flight few minutes later, however,
and human ingenuity soon triumphed
over brute courage. The dog was lassoed
and taken to the pound with other un-
fortunates.
But here the innate sense of justice in
man steps in to even up things. Several
admiring citizens had viewed the ac-
tions of the dog, and when he was cart
ed away they took up a subscription,
sent out to the pound, ransomed the ami
NAL and provided him with a home.
1t is little comedy like this that
makes life seem worth living even to
the most dissatisfied individual. Chi

Explosives in Mines.

1t has been claimed that the use Of
modern explosives in mines leads to the
production of such poisonous fumes that
a grave danger to the workmen is thus
incurred A short time ago Il commit
tee was appointed by the Durham Coal
Owners association, consisting of repre-
sentatives of both masters and men, to
consider this important question. Care
full experiments having been made, the
committee came to the conclusion that
the fumes produced are not more dan
gerous than those from gunpowder;
that carbon monoxide-the irrespirable
gas which is produced by the combus-
ton of charcoal, and which has led to
so many deaths-is present only in
traces; that an interval of five minutes
should be allowed to elapse before the
men re-enter the gallery in which the
charge has been fired; and that as they
find a portion of the deleterious gases
are due to the fuse employed, the charges
should be invariably fired by electricity.

walt whitman In New York.

Notwithstanding his residence in
Washington. his stay in New Orleans,
where he did some good newspaper
work, and not counting his long vegeta-
ton in Camden, N. j., Walt Whitman
is in every fiber a thorough New Yorker
Why not? He was born, seventy-two
years ago, in little village over on
Long Island, and, like most Long Island
ers, naturally drifted to this town. My
old journalistic friend remembers him
here thirty-five years ago, when he first
put out his Leaves of Grass" This
city was comparatively small then, and
Walt Whitman was as conspicuous a
citizen as any-knew everybody and
everybody knew him. He was marked
figure ON Broadway-a most manly man,
as vigorous and virile as his own poetry.
His very personality impressed itself
upon all passers by, and men, and even
women, turned around to look at him
He was almost the first to make the now
fashionable fad of the flannel shirt in
summer his all the year round convent
ence and comfort, and the broad collar
was turned over silk American flag.
His ordinary wear was neat suit of
workingman's clothes. Whatever he
might be called, a Democrat or Repub-
lican, he prided himself upon being
lone of the people," Brady, then fa-
nous as photographer, was the first to
capture Whitman, and thereafter every
photographer in town displayed colored
pictures of Walt, especially to show his
American flag scarf.
There were omnibuses in those days
-''stages, they called them-and every
driver knew Walt Whitman; and up
and down Broadway the poet was promi-
nent, often for hours, beside driver on
the box. The lively street was his studio
in which he made his pictures of the
people and his studies of humanity

UNCLE PETERS FIGHT.
ANOnogenarian's Contest on
His Wedding Night.
He Puts to Flight a Hundred
Men and Boys.
A Story of Interest Which Comes
From Ventura.
The Union of a Man 81 Years Old With
widow of 62-His Friends Give
him a Charivari-It Ends Dis
astrously for Them.

Peter Boyle, 92 years old, and Mrs.
Eliza Smitherman, aged 62, have lived
in Ventura for some time and have been
excellent friends. "Uncle Peter" as
Mr.. Boyle is familiarly called, some
days ago announced his engagement to
Mrs. Smitherman, and on Friday night
the two were married and gave re-
ception at the house after the wedding,
which was largely attended.
"Uncle PETERS" friends, both young
and old, who belong to "the boys" de-
termined to give the couple charivari
after the reception, and procuring a
quantity of firecrackers, bombs and tin
pans went to the house occupied by the
couple just at the time they were about
to retire.
First salvo of firecrackers was ex-
ploded. Then the leader of the noisy
serenaders blew on piece of punk, pre-
paratory to lighting big Chinese bomb,
when the door of the house opened and
"Uncle Peter" bounded out and made
straight for the man with the bomb.
The latter threw away the explosive and
smilingly said:
1--WE thought we'd give you little
send off, Uncle Peter; l congratu-"
Just then Uncle Peters right shot out
straight from the shoulder, and landed
on the speakers chin, making very
effective jab for an nonogenarian. The
man jumped for Uncle Peter, and the
two were in minute locked in a fight
ing embrace. One of the party lighted
pack of frecrackers and dropped them
between the feet of the couple and
they separated.
Mrs. Boyle appeared in the doorway
then and shouted:
"Give it to 'em, Peter; give it to
'em," and Peter obeyed.
He tore a paling from the fence and
started for the crowd, which numbered
at least 100 men and boys, and struck
stampede, and the crowd rushed across
lots, as the profane would put it, ''hell-
or-breakfast."
The night was dark and the crowd did
not observe where they were going, as
Peter came behind with curses deep and
paling waving. The result was they went
head first into barb-wire fence, and
got tangled up in the affair. "Uncle
Pete" arrived in time 10 apply the pal
ing literally and the victims sacrificed
clothes, flesh and wire in their attempt
to escape from the barbs and the paling,
which, however, was worn out. They
at last got away, reached town ragged
and bleeding, while Uncle Peter re-
turned proudly to his expectant bride.
Yesterday in Ventura the clothing
stores had to open and nearly all the
men about town purchased new clothes
and bottles Of liniment. A great de-
mand there was also for overcoats.

THE MALIBU ROAD.
SUPERVISORS TO VISIT SANTA
MONICA TOMORROW.
They Will Investigate an Alleged High
way on the Beach-A Road Which Has
Never Been a Road.

The county board of supervisors will
pay visit to Santa Monica on Tuesday
for the purpose of investigating an al
legged occupancy of the Santa Monica
and Malibu road, said road being re-
puted to extend along the beach at the
foot of the bluff. The supervisors will
make this investigation in answer to an
able-bodied kick that was made by GER
tain individuals who have labored to
convince the board that the aforesaid
road along the beach is second Appian
Way in the restless and superabundant
stream of travel fuctuating along it.
Inquiry at headquarters developed the
fact that the Santa Monica and Malibu
road was established in the remote past,
but never developed as fact. The beach
is occasionally travelled by persons driv-
ing, but as rule the road along the
bluff, Ocean avenue and the roads lead
ing into the canon have been utilized by
those who drove for business or pleas
ure.
The ''alleged occupancy" of the beach
'road" which will engage the attention
of the board of supervisors is we'll
known fact to the citizens of Santa Mon
lea and to the majority of people in
Los Angeles. They are aware, and have
been aware, for sometime past that the
Southern Pacific railroad is extending
a line along the beach for the purpose OF
reaching the new and magnificent pier
which they are arranging to build at
the north end of the beach, and thus
provide harbor for Santa Monica. 1t
is well known fact that they have
graded the line, and are now construct
ing tunnel through the bluff, and that
likewise they are pushing ahead
the preliminary arrangements for
the new $500 feet pier, but
it may be possible that the supervisors
have not been made cognizant of all
these facts and 80 ON Tuesday they will
Investigate" When they have grasped
the above facts, the question that will
naturally arise is what will they do
about it? Will they attempt to check
the railroad company from making the
extensions planned, and if so why will
they do SO? Will they act with con-
spicuous regard for the nerves of the sea
gulls and sandpipers who have been
using this roadway which has never
been made a roadway, or will they take
the future interests of Santa Monica
into consideration?

A Unique Social Organization.

The latest departure in clubdom is the
formation of the Annie Lynch Botta
Conversation club, purely social or
ganization of literary and artistic men
and women, founded in memory of Mrs.
Botta's famous Sunday evenings. The
topic of the evenings conversation is
known only to one person, who selects
it but does not announce it until after the
company has assembled, which pre-
cludes all possibility of preparation and
secures the charm of spontaneity to the
talk.
The person who selects the topic is
called the Director. and leads the con-
versation This office is not held by the
same person on consecutive evenings.
Membership to the club is obtained only
through the medium of friendship with
those already admitted to its privileges.

Wanted to Thank the BOX Office Man.
| remember, as law student, dining
with Wills at the Cock in Fleet street,
and inducing him to take me to thea
ter afterward. He was loath to GO.
He loved to take his ease in his inn; but
his good nature was stronger than his
sloth. We arrived at the theater very
late. A locum tenens occupied the book

asked that we might be given seats
The young man could not take upon
himself to pass us. The acting manager
was away. Wills gave sigh of relief;
but was more strenuous, and insisted
that the card should reach the proper
official.
We were given the best seats in the
house. 1t was not an historical play,
and Wills sat it through very stolidly,
As we came out and passed the booking

Legends OF the Wandering Jew.

The old Jewish story is that Car
taphilos, the bookkeeper of the Judg-
ment hall under the employ of Pontius
PLATE, struck our Lord as he was led
from the hall, saying: "Go fasterl Get
onl" Jesus turned to him and said, 81
go, but you tarry until come again"
Cursed though he was he afterward be-
came Christian and was baptized. In
tradition he still lives, falling into pro-
tracted trance every thirty years.
Another legend tells us that Jesus, al
most overcome by the weight of the
cross as he was carrying it to the place
of execution, stopped before the shop of
cobbler, and rested his hand against
the wall of the building. This enraged
the cobbler, whose name was Ahasuerus
to such an extent that he threw last at
the Man of Sorrows, crying to him: "Get
off Away with youl" Jesus rebuked
him, saying, Il go and go quickly; but
command thee to wander over the earth
until the Judgment day" This last
legend is the one given by Paul Won
Eitzen. bishop of Schleswig, in the year
1547
A third legend says that Ahasuerus
had been detailed to bring Jesus into the
Judgment hall of PLATE, and that he
was rushing our Lord along at swift
gait when Jesus complained of weari-
ness and requested to sit down on a
stone by the wayside. This request was
refused by the heartless wretch, who ex-
claimed: "Move on, Jesus, move on!
Thou shalt not rest Jesus replied, 81
go my way unto everlasting rest, but
thou shalt go away and never rest until
return to earth again. "--St. Louis Re-

skillful Canine Eauestrianism.

There's an unrivaled exhibition of
canine equestrianism to be. seen on the
streets of Chicago almost any day,
real merit about it than one will see in
similar displays that are made in any of
the greatest shows on earth" The
performer is an exceptionally intelli-
gent water spaniel, and he is rider of
skill. His act consists, in a word, of
riding delivery wagon horse whose
driver usually enforces pell nell gait.
The spaniel sits his mount with his
hind feet on the horses collar, Or where
the collar would come, and his front
feet, one ahead Of the other, on the mar
row ridge Of the horses neck, his claws
clutched in the name. The faster the
horse goes the better the dog seems to
like it, Judging from his many barks
and lively way in which he wags his
tail. The sudden rounding of a corner
never catches the plucky little animal
off his guard, but at such times he will
"curve in" with apparently the intelli-
gence of the most accomplished circus
rider, and so never loses his balance.
He has fallen but once in the two years
that his owner says he has been riding,
and that was when the horse came near
being killed by cable car.
The horse never goes so well as when
carrying the dog, and that of course
means that horse and dog are warm
friends. Woe to the person OF animal
who bothers either of them when the
other is around, for between the kicking
of the horse and the biting of the dog
the two old chums make it exceedingly
unpleasant for intruders. Chicago Trib-

Work Done By InYaIids.


Have you ever thought that much Of
the useful work of the world is done by
people comparatively invalids? Richard
Baxter, by reason of his disease, all his
days sitting in the door of the tomb, yet

and sending out an influence for God
that will endure as long as the "Saints'

never knowing well day, yet how he
preached and how he wrote. helping
thousands of souls like himself ''to swim
in sea of glory" And Robert Nc
Cheyne, a walking skeleton, yet you
know what he did in Dundee, and how
he shook Scotland with zeal for God.
Philip Doddridge, advised by his
friends, because of his illness, not to
enter the ministry, yet you know what
he did for the "Rise and Progress of Re-
ligion" in the church and in the world.
Wilberforce was told by his doctors that
he could not live fortnight, yet at that
very time entering upon philanthropic
enterprises that demanded the greatest
endurance and persistence. Robert

often in his pulpit while preaching he
would stop and lie down on a sofa, then
getting up again to preach about heaven

The Worlds Largest Telegraph Office.
The biggest telegraph office in the
world is that of London. 1t is located
in the general postoffice building and is
not accessible to the general public. It
contains more than 5000 operators, and
its batteries are supplied by plant of
10000 cells, or enough to make three
solid glass rows of cells from the Cap
itol to the White House. This office
does more business than any Office in the
United States 1t dispatches its business
much quicker and more quietly than our
offices do.
OF these 5000 operators about 1000
are women. They have room to them
selves, and do their work with Ameri-
can Morse instruments with registers
and paper reels. In the other parts Of
the Office all sorts of instruments are
used, and the Hughes printing instru-
ments are the most popular. In the big
telegraph operating room of Paris 1000
operators are at work Nearly one-half
of these are women. The day operators
work only seven hours, while the night
operators work ten hours, but they get
