some HSquiremerts That Are Indispen-
sabIs-Miners Food Must BE Right.
The universal article Of diet In that
country. depended upon and indispcn-
sable, is bread or biscuit. And to
make the bread and biscuit, either in
the camp OF upon the trail, yeast can
not be used-it must be baking pow
der; and the powder manufactured by
the processes Of the Royal Baking Pow
der Company, miners and prospectors
have learned, is the only one which
will stand in that peculiar climate of
cold and dampness and raise the bread
and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one OF the cheap brands
Of baking powder it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
In packing It over the long and dini-
cult route, he will find solid caked
mass or lot OF spoiled powder, with
no strength and useless. Such mis-
take might lead to the most serious re-
suits. Alaska is no place in which to
experiment in food, or try to econo-
mize with your stomach. For use In
such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions Of life and
labor in that country. everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an article
that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of
those who have gone through similar
experience. Mr.. McQuesten, who is
called "the father of Alaska" after an
experience Of years upon the trail, in
the camp, and in the use Of every kind
Of supply, says: ave find in Alaska
that the importance of proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with a can OF bad

have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further. but above al
things, 1t is the only powder that will

1t is for the same reason that the u.
s. government in its relief expeditions
and Peary, the famous arctic traveller
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will moi

The latest instance of Germany's new imperial policy is afforded by Portugal. It is reported that the German envoy at Lisbon has presented a peremptory demand for apologies and indemnity for the i'll treatment of the imperial gunboat Wolff, whose sailors were hooted and insulted on the Tagus, and several of them seriously injured A strong protest was made at Lisbon, but without satisfaction, as reported, and hence the resort to the summary meth ods of diplomacy which have proved to be so effective at Haiti and Kiao- Chou. Whether it be true or not that a per emptory demand has been made upon Portugal 1t is certain that it would ad- mirably serve the kaiser's purpose to seize Delagoa bay, the chief port on the east coast of southern Africa. Such seizure and possession would afford Emperor William an opportunity to eX- tend his protection to the TranSvaal. but 1t would also almost certainly in volve him in a war with England, for which, as it would have to be fought mainly upon the ocean, the German navy it not prepared. It is readily con- ceivable that in this vigorous foreign policy Emperor William is maneuver- ing for effect upon the reichstag as re- gards his big naval bill. Should he be as successful with Portugal as with China and Haiti it is quite likely he may carry his point. His popularity in Berlin has been greatly increased within the last few weeks, but it has been augmented by dangerous meth ods. If Germany, as seems to be indi- cated by her policy in China. is about to enter upon an imperial scheme of colonization, she will not only do we'll to build a big navy, but will also, in all probability, not have to wait long for an opportunity to use it..

Died by Agreement.

A unique case growing out of the suicide of Captain George Lowenthal has recently terminated in the law courts at St. Louis. It appeared from the evidence in the case that in 1895 Emil Lowenthal, brother of the cap tain, agreed to furnish money to the latter, who was a rogue and gambler, on condition that he either marry the daughter of a millionaire or commit suicide after the expiration of two years from the time of entering upon the agreement.
 Emil then heavily insured Georges life in various companies and had in- serted in the policies a clause declaring that they would not be affected after two years by the manner in which the insured should meet his death.
 George failed in his attempts to ill., veigle a rich mans daughter to marry him, and upon the expiration of tic two years he kept the other part of the agreement and blew out his brains with a revolver.
 Then Emil applied for the payment of the policies on his brothers life, but the companies had learned of the agreement and refused to pay their losses. Later they caused his arrest on the charge of having fraudulently secured the reversion of some of the policies. The trial resulted in the con- victiOn of the accused, and he was sen' fenced to two years imprisonment.

A Historical Desk,

Charles Loef1ler, the veteran door keeper of the Presidents room, has a new desk. The old one has served him over twenty-eight years. It was an old desk when it was first turned over to Loeffier. It had been an intimate ac- uuaintance of President Lincoln, and in stirring times would have absorbed many things had it been human. At the old desk thousands of prominent men have sat to write cards to send in to the President. Cabinet members have sat at the dask and written their names for autograph seekers. Great men have congregated around 1t and talked over matters of the highest i'm portance. It is an old f1at-top desk, with a single row of pigeonholes, the lower part containing drawers. It is probable that the desk will be pre- served. Loeff1er would like to keep it for himself as a companion which has served him faithfully so many years.- Washington correspondence New York Tribune.

VICTIMS OF GOlTER.
The Disease Is Brought on by Drinking
 Snow Water.

Snow Water.
 The valley of the Rhone has been quite noted for its goiter victims, al- though l am happy to say that through the increased watchfulness of the au- thorities there now is an abatement of the disease. Many different causes are assigned to the terrible aff1iction-this enlargement of the glands of the throat, goiter, or "big neck, |" as it is some times called-and even the best inform ed are far from being unanimous as to it's origin or prevention. The peasants themselves say it is brought on by the habitual use of snow and glacial water. The water is so cold it acts as counter irritant, and so infames the throat, but this explanation hardly holds, as the inhabitants of the upper regions are not so often afflicted as are the people in the lower valleys The use of chemically impure water, especially hard water, is given as cause.
 The experiment has bCen made where the water of certain wells was used to the exclusion of all other water. With i'll short time goiter symptoms began to manifest themselves where none had been before. Sometimes this dis ease is epidemic. An instance was noted where in garrison one out of ev- cry 20 men became afflicted. Infants are seldom born with goiter, but after it once takes hold the progress of the disease is very rapid I believe that it is rarely fatal, but because of this en. largement of the glands and the conse- quent disfgurement of the throat it is most repulsive, and yet tho natives are so accust tomed to seeing it that they do not seem to care. It probably is simply Q source of discomfort rather than nor tiication. In fact, in some portions of France, Italy and Switzerland goiter is thing to be priZed and to be exhib- ited, for its possession exempts a man from military service. Young men have been known to resort to certain wells supposed to convey this poison to the blood that they might evade colscrip- tion. When Savoy was annexed to France, vigorous measures were adopt cd to stamp out if possible this hateful disease. There was heavy penalty for drinking the water of forbidden wells, and then the little children were treat ed ill the hope of curing them. Lozen- ges of iodine were administered, and out of 5000 children 2,000 were cured, and more would have been helped had not the parents ignorantly opposed the giving Of the remedies. The villages al- so were cleaned and sanitary measures insisted upon For, aside from all other causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may be transmitted or be sporadic. Like diphtheria, it is filth disease. and of ten has it's origin in the negligent hab- it's of tho villagers. These peasants re- fuse to live elsewhere than ill the old "dorfer" (villages), each morning going far away to tho fields, but returning at night to their overcrowded homes, where men, women and children, COWS, goats and donkeys dwell together fra formally.

THE BREAD-FRUlT TREE.
Something About This Strange and
 Useful Plant.

The bread-fruit tree is a native of Southern Asia, and the Pacific Islands of the Archipelago. In appearance it resembles somewhat the wild chest nut; it grows to the height of forty or nifty feet, has dark-green leaves, many or them two feet in length, which are deeply divided into pointed lobes.
 Hidden among the great leaves the bread-fruit grows; it is sorosis, is nearly spherical, often weighs four or more pounds, and has a thick, yellow rind. The fruit is the chief food of the South Sea Islanders-they seldom eat meal without it. The eatable part lies between the rind and the core, and when fully ripe is yellow and juicy. It is better for food before 1t is ma tured, and the natives gather it when the pulp is white.
 Before it is ready for table use it must be roasted, when it looks like wheat bread, and is both palatable and nutritious. Usually the fruit is cut into three or four slices and roasted or baked in an oven.
 AN4uOh1y IAc pCOpIS O1 NIlIdSe join in making a huge oven, in which several hundred bread-fruits may be baked at one time. Thus they are all supplied with bread without it costing any of them much labor; prepared in this way, the bread will keep for weeks.
 The bread-fruit Is In season eight months of the year; when the season finally draws to a close, the last fruits are gathered and made into sour paste called "mahei" This paste will keep good for months, and is made into balls, wrapped in leaves, and baked just as needed.
 Bread is not the only product of the bread-fruit tree; from it cement, cloth, finder and lumber are also obtained. A glutinous, milky juice oozes from the trunk of the tree, which makes an ex- cellent cement when boiled with CO., cOanut oil. From the fibrous inner bark a kind of coarse cloth is made, and the big leaves make good towels. The lumber is light, of a rich yellow color, ana is used for building houses and many other purposes. Besides all this, the dried blossoms are used as finder when fires are kindled.-Phila- delphia Times.
