.Sublimity on Pixies Peak.

One of the sublimest effects in nature
is occasionally seen by those who climb
the tall and isolated peaks of the Rocky
mountains in Colorado. The dryness of
the air and the strong heat of the after
noon sun cause a rapid evaporation from
the brooks, springs and snowbanks on
the mountain sides, and this moisture,
rising on the warmer air, condenses as it
reaches the cooler, thinner atmosphere
about the mountain top. The traveller,
looking down. sees clouds literally form
ing below him and growing thick and
black every instant, so that as they
reached his level they roll skyward and
in huge masses of vapor that eclipse the
view and bury him in darkness. Light
ming occasionally leaps from the clouds,
and mountain top is particularly bad
place to be in at such time. The stone
signal service station on Pixies peak has
been nearly wrecked by lightning more
than once.-New York Sun.

Plays For Young Girls.

Many wise mothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. It
may be compared to those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
r. Still the mother who would make Of
her girl "a woman holy and wise" will
not exclude the theater. But outside Of
some special representations of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays,
such as rip Van Wrinkle" Sweet Law
ender," wholesome comedy where the
deep passions of life are not exhibited,
where the sinful follies of youth are not
presented for sympathy and for commits
GRAFTON.
There is one other class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-
nance in books, and that is the real, old
fashioned melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant, the villain is brought to
justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such a treat is like the .sfrolics"
at surprise parties and straw rides, which
were enjoyable because Of their rarity.

The Well of Frozen Air.

Near Dayton, Or, there is we'll To-
cally known as the ''wen of frozen air. .
In drilling it a stratum of frozen CLAW
and gravel was encountered at a depth of
% feet. After passing through five feet
of this numerous cavities were encoun-
tered from which cold air came with
sharp gusts. The escape of the air from
the well may be heard a distance Of
nearly 200 yards, and it is so frigid that
it is not possible for any one to hold his
hand over the opening for more than
few minutes without having it frozen
stiff. A bucketful of water set near the
mouth of the well will freeze through
during one nights time. It is needless
to add that work on the well was aban-
doned as soon as these frigid blasts found
vent through the opening made by the
drill. Philadelphia Press.

Tho Sailors Got Seclusfon.

Years ago, when the full rugged man
o'-war was fright in line, the Hartford
put into Boston harbor and dropped
anchor off the Charlestown navy yard
one fine day. The Hartford at thattime
was as much an object of wonder and
admiration as the gallant New York or
Boston is today, and visitors focked
aboard her in great numbers. Her cap

to see that his visitors were we'll cared

hour it was his habit to take the curious

was spread on the deck. -.%

reached for a certain bowl. This was the

duct paralyzed him, but before he could

why Rates ~ Rail For Passengers and

Freight Are So HI
The eminent English railway author
ity, Mr.. W iuiam N. Acworth, points out
many causes for the differences between
railways in this country and the United
States The higher rate Of charges on
English roads are thus explained s5
IS The very large capital outlay Of Eng
lish railways is Of course one main rea-
son of the high standard Of rates and
fares in England. Exactly how high
that standard is we have no means Of
knowing, for our railway statistics,

by an act Of parliament bout so years
back, carefully suppress the inf formation
that it is most necessary for rs to have

here recorded. We know that each ton
Of goods carried paws the ailwa,ys.on the.
average about. 60 cents. If we guess that
the average distance IS abont q miles. We.
arrive at an average rate of 9. 40 cents per
ton mile, which IS not very far from
three times the average rate in the
United States. So in the case Of nassen-5
gers we may guess that the average fare
IS about lis per mile. which though
lower than the American average. Is:
higher than IN any European country.
Such result seems very far from salts

have justified 4 high range Of rates and
fares at the outset. but year by wear the

while the passenger fares only come

These are Facts
Housekeepe,y Sbonld Seriously Consider.

II you want the best food YOU will be interested
in the following facts, which show why Royal"
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 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 its strength, but will keep
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, SO that none
of its 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 leavenng
power 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor of its business ever since is still ut
the head Of its management. Thus all the
