Somehow or other there must be a
close and intimate relation between
Wfiskers and words. Look at the sen

with what tropical profusion of hair

gave evidence during the repeal fight
last summer. Senator Dolph. too. with
a mass of waving hair flowing down
ward from Ills face to his waist, is
one of the most tirslcss speakers in
the senate. Ex-senator Blair. who
talked for two weeks on his education
al bill, is also the possessor of SPLEEN

least two exceptions to this rule. Sen

a lusty beard, never says a word. and

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder in Strength
and Value 20 Per Cent. Above Its
Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record Of having received the
highest reward for articles Of it's class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
ost perfectly combined-wherever ex-
hibited in competition with others.
In the exhibition of former years, at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
at the various state and industrial
fairs, where it has been exhibited,
judges have inv;;r::a:o:y awarded the
Royal Baking Power the highest hon
Ors.
At the recent worlds fair the exam
ination for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts Of the chemi
cal division of the Agricultural Depart
ment Of Washington. The official re-
port of the tests of the baking powders
which were made by this department
for the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, and which has
been made public, shows the leaven-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
OF powder. Of the cream OF tartar Dak-
ing powders exhibited at the Fair, the
next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leav-
ening gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found 20 per cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than it's nearest competi-
tor, and A. per cent. above the average
of all other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
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 caus-
ed the sales Of the Royal Baking Pow
der, as SHOWN by statistics, to exceed
the sales Of all other baking powders
combined

THE SODA FOUNTAIN.
Some of the Dangers of Using 1T as
General Prescription Counter.

Some of the Dangers OF Using II AZ
General Prescription Counter.
Nervousness is as much a fad as
anything else" said DR.. Egbert Dixon,
of Buffalo, at Worin!ey's this morn
ing, land the modern soda water foun-
tain has more to do with the increase
of the mania than anything else. In
days of old, wien SODA water was first
added to the waters of the druggist,
it was devoted entirely to satisfying the
public taste for something cool, sweet
and refreshing. Fruit syrups of a
harmless character were Sizzled up to
proper degree Of gaseous bubblins and
the mission of the soda water fountain
was commedablc one. Nowadays 1t
is devoted to bromos, nervines and lots
of other things that are made from the
deadliest sorts of drugs, while they are
hung with signs inviting people to be-
come their own physicians by trying
some of the countless noStrums which
are alleged to cure anything from
headache to an improving toe-nail in an
almost inconceivable small space Of
time. The tired out individual sees one
of the nervine signs and mistakes his
WEAKNESS for nervousness and straight
way proceeds to doctor himself with
something, he knows not what, but
which, on account of it's powerful prop
critics, brace him up and makes him
feel bright. The natural result follows.
He takes some more Of the soda water
fountain stuff whenever he gets tired,
and in month or so his system is on
the road to general breaking up.
Dragging ones self at soda fountain
is dangerous, and, as said in the be-
ginning, nervousness is largely a fad.
If supposed sufferers from nervous at
tscks would only 90 out and split wood
for half an hour, if men, or take u
brisk walk, if women, and then take
bath and take a nap, there wouldn't
be so much heard of this silly rot about
nervousness being our natural disease"

MEXICAN cPAl.s.
Where They Are Found and How
They Are Finished,

Where They Are Found and How
They Are Finished.
The opals are found embedded in q
tough, red porphyry-like rock, and
this opal rock runs in veins, which
have thus for been found in only two
Mexican States, Queretaro and
Guerrero, the former on the Atlantic
slope, the latter hundreds of miles
away, bordering on the Pacific. The
German capitalists, who have te-
ceived a considerable sum and bought
the opal mines, evidently think the
deposits are limited and that thew
can control the product of the country.
The old method of mining opals was
O novel one.
Mexican owners of the mines or
veins would give to any one the privil-
eye OF going into the mine and digging
for himself at so much per day or
week. This custom prevailed until
quite recently, and Americans, hiring
squad of poems and taking tools,
would go out and do days mining,
paying SIS for the privilege. There
was enough of speculation and un-
certainty about such expeditions to
make them pertaining.
The opal which could be got for IS
cents now brings from SIS to $40, &C.
cording to the anxiety OF the pur-
chaser.
Not until it has been out of the
mine several months can any just
estimate of q stones value be formed.
Probably three-fourths Of Mexican
opals crack during the period of
seasoning, and then they are worth
little or nothing. These native lapi-
diaries and experts have a way of con-
cealing defects and enhancing the
lustre by boiling the stones in oil, and
many opals are sold fresh from this
treatment, only to disappoint the
buyer a few months later. Mexicans
do F! his so we'll that they even deceive
those who are experts in gems.

They were Discovered n the Tran s.

In searching for diamonds or prec-
ious metals people sometimes make
unexpected additions to our knowl-
edge OF geology or natural history.
Engineering works also have some
times the same result. Only last
winter the remains of mammoth
were unearthed in London more than
twenty feet below the surface. One OF
the tusks was, unfortunately broken
by the workmen, the other was care
fully preserved. Some curious dried
monkeys have been recently discover
ed in the Transvaal.
From the extraordinary attitudes
which they haYe assumed and the fear
and rage expressed by their not too
amiable countenances, it would APP
pear that they must have been over
taken by some sudden catastrophe,
such as landslide or avalanche OF
mud. The attitude of the female en-
deavoring to protect her little ones
from impending death is quite idylllc,
while the rage and fear OF paterfama-
las, who must have stood nearly tour
feet high, are equally manifest. The

Fancy Now Means Quality.
The term fancy" has been applied

ne except to ornament the show room,
but within the past year, says the Poul.
try Keeper, the term has been accepted
as one designating quality in poultry
on the stalls. During the week proceed.
ing Christmas the fancy" dressed
poultry commanded nearly twice as
much per pound as the ordinary. This
may be but O trivial matter on first con-
sideration, but when it is well looked
into the subject is worthy of more con-
sideration, for the prices are drawn
strictly on O line which separates the
market into good and bad and this
separation will become wider and wider
as progress is made in the breeds of
farm poultry. 1t plainly shows that
if the farmer is to succeed with poultry
bis greatest profit must come by breed
ing the so-called fancy stock, and that
he cannot hope to successfully compete
with fancy stock except by making
speciality of fancy stock himself.
The fancy stock, as bred for market,
does not, however, depend for excel
lence upon the points Of the comb, or
few feathers on the middle toe Of
show bird, but upon the compactness
Of body and the preponderance of
breast meat, the golden yellow color
of the legs, and the fat condition of
the bird when killed. In fact, the lat
ter is very important portion of the
requirements, which even the farmer
knows is essential to obtaining high
prices, but to produce a carcass ex-
ceiling in other respects is something he
often overlooks. The true poultryman
makes it his object to satisfy the mar.
ket and he will not be behind his COM
petitors in the use Of the proper breeds
necessary to give him any advantages
that may he obtained in that direction,
for he must expect to please the GUS
toners if he desires the highest price.
If there are quotations for fancy
stock and other quotations for that
which is inferior, let the farmer pro-
duce only the fancy kind. There is no
monopoly Of any breed, and no one has
the exclusive right to the control Of the
market, and the farmer has an equal
chance with all. He must remove his
prejudice against the fine breeds, and
might at once cease the claim that
fancy stock is no better than any
other" for the prices refute his claim,
and prove conclusively that there is
not only difference, but great one,
and his prejudice effects no one as in
juriously as it does him. Let the farm
er keep fancy stock and he will get
fancy prices. Let him seek to produce
the best that can be placed upon the
market, and he will find profit result
ing instead Of loss. The man who
will not comply with the demands Of
the market must be content to sell at
half price and incur the risk of loss.
