Choked by Ghosts.

The Ozark Mountains Of Missouri
present a field for the lovers of the
curious which is not to be found this
side of Mexico. The whole country
was at one time under the domna-
zion Of the Spanish when they first
explored that part Of the continent
and their relics are to be found all
over the hills in the shape of eXcaya-
tions and old mines, and in many in
stances their very tools are to be
found lust where they left them over
one or two hundred years ago.
But 1t is not only their relics and
Uools that are left as a reminder Of
the Spanish explorers, but they have
legends and stories which have been
handed down with implicit faith from
generation to generation until they
have become part of the history of
the country
About eighteen miles southwest Of
Galena is an old Spanish mine, which
is reputed to be rich with gold and
silver, as Will as with lead; yet no
man has ever had the temerity to
work the mine on account of the
story which is attached to it and the
certain uncanny feeling which is said
to overcome any one who dares to pro-
fame the place with his presence.
The story is that IN this mine great
riches were found by seven men, who
were so overcome by their good for
tune that they could not agree as to
the division Of the find, but each was
eager to have the whole for himself,
and the result was that one by one
they were killed by their companions
until but one was left, and then it is
related that during the night he was
set upon by the whole ghostlY band
and choked to death by the spirits of
the men whom he had helped to MUIR

Senator Eugene Hale and Gov
ernor-elect Henry B. Cleaves were
billed to speak in an interior town
one evening and to ride quite dis
lance in stage coach. The stage
was of the genuine old fashion, and
the driver was of the typical sort,
ready to do anything for accommodate
ton.
On this occasion a part of the
freight put on top OF the stage was a
crate containing two calves, each
ABOUT four weeks old. They made the
night resonant with their bleating as
the stage trundled over the rough
country roads. Atlast they drew I'm
ata little village postofice and an old
gentleman came hobbling out to meet
the driver and exchange a word with
him. The bleating of the calves kent
up, and the old gentleman looked IN
quizzically at the driver, and said;
"Well, Dan. you've got your speak
ers ON top of the stage tonight, |
see."
The roar Of laughter that followed
from the interior of the coach startled
the Old gentleman, and when the
familiar features of the Republican
candidate for Governor smiled out at
the half open door, he fled inside the
post office, covered with confusion.--

Hair Dressing In Japan.

The most striking difference be-
tween the appearance Of the male and
female Japanese lies in the hair. The
men shave nearly the whole of the
head, while the women allow it to
grow, and even add to it by art when
required 1t is then twisted aud
coiled into elaborate and fantastic
patterns which few Eastern hair
dressers could initiate or equal. The
hairpns used are not so much for
combining the locks in their places as
for actual adornment, and are very
fashionable. They are of enormous
size, seven or eight inches in length,
and half an inch wide, and are made
of various substances, tortoise shell,
carved wood, and ivory, many of them
being composed of carved figures
adroitly pivoted so as to appear to
dance at every breath drawn by the
wearer. Others are made of glass,
and are hollow, and nearly filled with
some bright colOred liquid, so that at
every movement of the heal an air
bubble runs from one end of the pin
to the other, producing a most curl
GUS effect in strong light. Some.
times an extra fashionable woman
will wear dozen or more of these
pins in her hair, so that at little
distance her head looks as if a bundle
of tlrewood had been closely stuck
into it. The higher in rank the Jap
anese woman, the more elaborate her
couture is likely to be.

knowledge and skill attained by over quarter of
centurys experience is available in its present
preparation. The consumer is not experimental
upon by changes Of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get a
mixture that will not cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu-
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; a teaspoonfu does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday,
or last week or month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in a can of ROYAL is
as good as the first other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticuarly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertaned
by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced
against the receipt into the works of an impure in
gredient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combina-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder SO
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make the
perfect Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been great many
limitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost.

Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

These are Facts
wkck
H0uSekeGperS Should Seriously Conadsr.

Ifyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why "Roya"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal its 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.
1t is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t 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.
1t never loses it's strength, but will keep
fresh and of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, so that none
of it's strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that will 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. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t 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
