That Coal Contraos.

Mr.. R. II. d. Willis, one OF the bid
ders Tor the Water Board coal contract,
requests the REGISTER to chronicle the
fact that his bid was G.4c., which was
less than the bid upon which the con-
tract was awarded. He also says that
his bid for furnishing coal to the
schools was &C, but the contract was
awarded at &c.
1t may be pertinent to sag here, re-
garding the Water Board contract that
the simple fact that bid is the lowest
is not sufficient to secure contract.
All bids read "lowest and BEST" and
there are two matters which are OF
equal Importance in letting n contract.
One is price, and the other is quality. A
bidder may make low bid, and yet it
may be distinctly advantageous TO
award ? contract at higher price. 1t
was so with the Water Board in this in
stance.

The worlds greatest pest hole is at

Turkey has resolved to put Mecca into
something like a healthy condition.
The decision is the effect of an intima-
ton from the British government that
unless the holy city is cleansed 1t will
take means to prevent the annual pill
grimage from India. The sultan has
decided not only to cleanse the town,
but to erect at his personal expense q
great lodging house capable OF con
tatning 5000 persons.

The burden laid upon her had been
greater than she could bear-and she
had succumbed.
In his distant Northern home,
Harold Burgoyne was preparing for
his journey. All was ia readiness at
last, aud his face was alight with hope,
and his heart was full of happiness
"Only three days more, and !
shall see my darlingl' he said to
himself, as he stood alone In his room,
with his trunk packed and ready;
''only three short days and l shall
hold her in my arms once more-never
more to part MY Constance, the
brave, noble Constance, my own for
ever nowW
Some one entered the room, Harold
did not know whom. A telegram was
placed in his hands. Trembling with
vague apprehension, he tore it open
and read these fatal words;
constance died an hour ago. Her
last word swere; Harold-Good- by"
"Tor the bureu laid upon her
Seemed greater than she could bear
aud forever and forever,
As long as the river flows,
As long US The heart has passions
As long as life has woes

Aud its shadows shall appear,
As the symbol OF love In heaven
And its waveFing image here"

woman who visited a hardware store

the proprietor after her departure,
lis an actress, and is just going on
the road. All theatrical people while
travelling carry nippers and tips with
them. The managers of hotels in
small towns try to save gas by put
ting bits of cotton in the bedroom
burners, thus impeding the flow.
The minute an actor strikes light
and detects this he pulls out his nip
pers and tips or comes the faxed
burner and on goes one that let's the
full head OF gas come through. Be-
fore leaving he arranges things as he
found them and goes merrily along
to get the better of the next econom-
ical landlord on his route.

OF North; letter signed by a
woman's name which simply broke
her heart. The letter said that Hal-
old Burgoyne had other ties; that
there was one in the great Northern
metropolis to whom no was bctrothed,
and to whom he was so devoted that
he could find no time to visit Con-
stance. And. indeed, if this were
true, she would not desire him to
come. She kept the letter secret,
and hid its contents in her own faith
full heart. She had not ceased to
love him; that was simply impossible;
but she knew that they were parted
forever, and she strove with all her
strength to be resigned. His letters
had grown so cold and commonplace;
the old sweet comfort which they
were wont to hold was gone. Once
his letters had rested her; now they
filed her heart with vague unrest,
or tore it asuuder with cruel pain.
'And the burden luid upon her
Seemed greatcr than she could bear"
One day letter from Harold ar
rived, more like his old letters than
any she had received for long time
His work was lighter now. and he
could get leave of absence-he was
coming to Constance once more.
She smiled a sad, weary smile, and
turned her face TO the wall. For She
was hopeless invalid now, and 1t
was only matter of time before her
burden would be laid aside forever,
her sad life be done. He did not
know or learn the truth. She had
concealed II oil, with tho uuselfsh de.
sire not to interfere with his advance
ment in life.
A Geographic message flashed over
the wires one day In late September.
"Will be with you in three days" it
said. But Constance was past all hope

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder'Has all this Hon.

Per Cent Abovcits Noar-


Per Cent Abovcits Noar-
est Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviabe record OF having received the
highest award for articles of it's class
greatest strength, purest ingredi-
ents, most perfectly COMMUNICATIONS
ever exhibited in competition with
others. The result at the Chicago
Worlds Fair is no exception. In the
exhibition of former years, al the Cen
tennial at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. The-chief chem
lists official report of the tests of the
baking powders, which was made Tor
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, shows the heaven
ing strength OF the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream Of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas
The other powders gave an average OF
Ill. The Royal. therefore, was found
of 90 per cent greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and A per cent. above the average of
all the other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quail
ity OF the food it makes as to fineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for SO many years, that have
caused the sales OF the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to eX-
coed the sale OF all other baking pow
ders combined.

own property in Dakota are graduates
Of eastern colleges. There is, she
says, little south of the Crow Creek
reservation a section of women, every
one of whom is bona fide farmer.
She says: 1.-The fields are plowed and
crops gathered by women. One of
the most intellectual and most refined
woman of the section is breeder of
fine horses. Shethas no hired men.

Than Those of other Countries.
Year af'or year the German gym
nasia, high schools and universities
send out into the world, there to
look for living, multitudes of over
wrought youths, teeming with in
struction which has untitled them
for bread-earning by the practice of
any purely mechanical craft or petty
trade and has imbued them with
many of the tastes and sympathies
that can only be productive of happi-
ness, or even enjoyment, to those
who are enabled to take their stand
and maintain it in one of the upper
social spheres. These youths, says
the London Telegraph, have been
put through the milln with sever
ity of which the British public school
boy ard university "mann have not

ing is less like the school life
of England than that of Germany.
In the first place 1t is entirely devoid
of the element of play. Games, such
as those which constitute an i'm
pOrtant feature of our educational
curriculum and are specifically asso-
ciative in character, are unknown to
the boys who attend German gym
nasia and Realsceulen. All these
establishments are in the nature Of
day schools. They do not take in
boarders, no leisure moment of the
scholars life is spent within their
precincts, consequently no play
grounds are attached to them, and
they are exclusively utilized Tor
study. There is no such thing a S
cricket or football, rowing or paper
chasing at German school, nor
were those or any other open-air
sports tolerated by the management
of an educational institution, nor
would there be any time for indul-
genco in them.
1t may be said of the average Ger
man school boy that during the sew
on years or so which he passes in
working his way up from .sextan to
"prima" his labors never cease save
during meal times and sleeping
hours, and are only lightened to a
certain extent by his annual summer
vacation, which, however, is album
dainty fraught with tasks calling for
careful fulhllment ere he returns to
the regular routine of school life.

lasts with an interval for necessary

can be the value of straw The
older saying was "not worth "a rush, y

carpets it was the custom to strew the
floor with rusnes. When guests of
