The Women Know Best.

Much comment has been caused by
the official reports of the United States
and Canadian governments, in which
are presented the evidences of U:.e su-
perior strength, purity and wholesome
ness of the Royal Baking Powder.
1t is true that the good housewife
looks upon Communications of the Royal
Baking Powder from scientists and
official sources such as these very much
like 1.-The gliding of refined gold" Her
practical experience long since taught
her in the most convincing way the
great usefulness and superiority of the
Royal article. A higher proof than
this she does not want and cannot have.
Yet it is pleasant for her to realize
that the facts established by these
great competitive tests, these scientific
examinations made under direction of
the Government, exactly parallel those
she had before worked out in her ow n
common-sense practical way.
1t does not appear that any baking
powder, when presented in competi-
tion with the Royal, either at the Gov
ernment tests or before Worlds Fair
juries, has ever received favor or award
over the Royal or made an equal show
ing in purity, strength or wholesome
ness.

woMAN.s ACTIVE WORK.
Aiding Reform Movements In England,
America and the Colonies.

The influence of women in matters
Of public character has been exerted
with unusual force and effect during
the past few weeks, in various parts of
the world. The great metropolis of
London has perhaps only once before
in its history been SO stirred up by
moral contest as it was last month by
the fight between the London County
Council and the Empire Music Hall.
over the question of relicensing of
that notorious institution. The lead
against the Empire" was taken by
Mrs. Ormiston Chant, who boldly prov
ed the scandalously disreputable char
acter of the place The County Coun-
Gil sustained her position by vote of
seventy-flve to thirty-two. The Empire
Is an enormously rich establishment,
which has been paying dividends of
seventy per cent. and which has been
backed by one or two of the greatest
newspapers of London. The contest
meant great deal, because the EN-
pire was considered as the strongest
representative of class. The victory
over that fashinoable but immoral re-
sort means n future policy not mar
rowly puritnical, but wholeSomely
moral and decent The victory is pri-
marily that of women. In the New
York election contest the women play
I'd an unprecendentedly active part. In
the political sphere the most note
worthy event has been the large and in
teresting participation of women in the
Colorado election, both as voters and
candidates. In New Zealand the wo-
men vote, but are excluded from the
colonial legislature. 1t is believed that
Colorado's position as to the eligibility
of women for Office will help the New
Zealand women to gain that point also
In New South Wales the two great op-
posing political leaders, Sir Henry
Parkes and Sir George Dibbs, have
both declared themselves In favor of
woman suffrage, and the Legislature
has passed a resolution supporting
their view by a very large majority
This means of course, that within a
short space of time the innovation will
have been brought into practical effect

Scientific Notes.

A New York electrotyping firm is
said to have hit upon the idea of elec
troplating articles of apparel which
it is desired to preserve as mementoes.
A baby's first shoes, for example, may
be preserved indefinitely in metal. We
might give other instances, but, al
though we should be sorry to discourage
the firm, so far as our own experience
goes, mementoes do not generally take
the form of wearing apparel. Such
things as Tommy's first trousers and
Johnny's first "top" hat would scarcely
make good souvenirs.
Aluminium may be profitably used,
according to w. X. Taylor of Rochester
in the manufacture of casks, jugs, car
boys, water tanks, milk cans, firkins,
fermenting any evaporating pans,
cocks and taps, pumps and bar fittings,
and various culinary utensils. In the
case of large vessels the sheets of
metal should be strengthened by hoops
or wooden slaves, or by means of n
layer of solidified wood pulp. One i'm
portant advantage claimed for alumni
ium Is that 1t and, for the most part,
its alloy, are non-corrodible.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse power engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will "bolt - his food in few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as n kcg of nails would be in a
FIRE under a boiler The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which il gets from tie blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the il-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
ioyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery TO purify, enrich and
sugar coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach Of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slotlifulness, or torpor, of
the liver then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoouful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich 1t. 1t has
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
Of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursng through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you snfier from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
OF the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can 6N,e

RICHES OF NORTHERN SWEDEN
Vast Iron and lumber Country opsned
Up by a New EaiIroad.

The Northern part OF King Oscars
realm has often been called "Swedens
America" because OF the richness OF
the land, although it Is still unculti-
waited, says the Stockholm correspond
ent OF the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The poorer class prefer to emigrate to
the United States instead OF seeking
new homes in Nordland, because that
part OF the kingdom lacked means OF
communication by land with the cap
ital. Tho coast cities suffered in the
winter when ice covered the sea as
much as the interior settlements suf-
fered the year round. When it was
discovered that there were great hid
den riches there for the government,
it decided to grant money for the
building OF railway. The Northern
Trunk line is now complete, and has
been opened by the king. He is said
to be Sweden's ablest orator, and
he made the "speech Of his life." Tho
festivities surpassed anything ever
seen hero. Tho new railroad con-
meets at Boden, near the gulf OF Both
MIA, with tho northernmost railroad
in the world, running from the sea-
port of Lulea up to the Gellivara iron
mountains, forty-scven miles north OF
the polar circle. This road has been
in operation two years. 1t may be
considered the end piece OF a continu-
GUS line OF railroad about 1880 miles
long, reaching north and south the
whole length OF Sweden. Tho com
pletion OF this line. it is believed, will
materially check immigration TO Amer
ica. Nordland contains more than
twenty per cent OF the lumber OF the
world. and more than Canada and al
most twice rs much as the United
States. The famous iron mines, the
largest In existence. arc capable OF
supplying the world for centuries.
The scenery Is highly picturesque,
and the new road presents much for
tourists.

feared that she never should be able
to entirely eradicate these ingrained

But she had resolved to try her

Of this resolve that she had unawares
won Master Toms deepest hostility.
She was tall and graceful. with soft
brown hair. eyes like the velvety
gloss Of the pansy petal, and deli
cato complexion, where each passing
emotion was photographed in pink
and white. Captain Ashley took little
heed of tho beauty to which he had
always been accustomed. To him she
WAS "only Aimee" but others were
not 80 blind as her brother.
'I'll be revenged on her." muttered
Master Tom to himself, and he
strsghtway took his sister Cecy into
his confidence.
"You remember. sis, don't YOU"
said he, "that she made you stay in
all the afternoon that Saturday when
the Wells girls had their picnic. to
mend your frock, ready for Sunday?
And she took away all your sweets,
and she makes you practice on the
piano two hours every day, instead of
one. Now, doesn't she?"
"Yes." nodded Cecy, "that's very
true. But she tells me nice stories,
and she gave me little sandal wood
work box last week"
"Oh, bother tho stories and the

"a trick, Tom?"
"Yea just look here. I've written

"But you can't write a love-letter

Tom chuckled.
"It's from Mr.. salvius," said he

In tho fullness of his ghoulish delight.
Mr.. Salvius, as it chanced, WAS the

been brought in from the greenhouse.

Great was the amazement of Tom;
unbounded the mysti fication of Cecy,
when, on coming in to dessert, as
usual, they saw Aunt Aimee and Mr..

Tom, grimly, biting into his peach.

question.

"Oh, Toni" cried Cccy, almost carried
away by the enormity OF the con-
