The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking

Royal Baking Powder costs only
fair price, and is cheaper at its

AN AMERICAN DUEL"
The Terrible Affair That Took PIoce .
HeidelharR.

The Terrible Affair That Took PIoce at
Heidelberg.
During my residence in Heidelberg
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town, says Science. Two German stu
dents, having quarreled, decided the
earth was not large enough for both of
them to live in, and resorted to the
diabolical practice call the American
duel" In darkened room the two
young men drew lots, having sworn
that he who drew the black ball would
commit suicide. The unhappy loser
went to his room and discharged
bullet into his breast, but missed his
heart and fingered for several days on
his deathbed; his parents were sum-
moned by telegraph and besought him
on their knees to disclose the name OF
his antagonist, but he steadfastly re-
fused, and died with the secret in his
breast. The students not only excused
his conduct, but praised his courage.
and when his remains were taken to
the railway station to be transported
to a distant city, they accompanied the
funeral cortege with torches and music
The students claimed he was not a
suicide, for he was killed in an honor
able duel, and they maintained that his
opponent was not accessory to his
death, because he shot himself; 1 had
many arguments with them, and never
could convince them of their extraor-
binary regeneration.

AMERICANS AT MONTE CARLO.
Girls. Were Somewhat Criticised for
Going About Alone.


Going About Alone.
"The first Americans have arrived
writes a resident at Monte Carlo to
the New York Commercial Advertiser
cit is expected that an unusually large
number of them will visit the Riviera
this winter. The hotels have made
every preparation for the hoped-for
guests. In the meanwhile the Rus
SLAMS, Austrians and especially the
Germans, are arriving in number every
day now and they will insure a fairly
successful season. During the last
week Of December a party of young
American ladies arrived. They were
chaperoned by a somewhat elderly
lady, and, having disembarked at
Genoa, came here to pass their Christ
mas. They attracted much attention.
Some persons thought them overbold
to go about thus without male attend
ants, but admired them for having the
courage to do so-all the more as the
young women paid no attention to peo
pie about them. The party has left
for Milan, Florence, Rome and Naples
and will be in Paris in March. The
impression is general that one cannot
live cheaply in Monte Carlo. This is
mistake. There are hotels, well fur
nished and we'll kept, where a person
may live en- pension for $3.50 a day.
The cuisine is good, the wines also,
and the hotels are comfortable. may
add that several of these cheaper hotels
have an outlook over the Monaco bay
and the Mediterranean. Curiously
enough, there are no hotels in Mo-
naco proper mean the rock upon
which stands the palace of the prince.
The position is admirable and a large
hotel in Monaco would be great sue
cess undoubtedly, but the trouble is
the prince would not consent to having
hotel upon the rock. In all the prin-
cipality the will Of the prince is para
mount and even the making of alter
ations in any building or the erection
of new building depends upon the
consent of his serene highness.'

- Rheumatism s saatl e.,
Duty on q Mouse.

Uncle Sam is a stern stickler for
form, and the amount Of red tape en-
ployed in the custom house is really
remarkable. 1t was demonstrated the
other day that not even tiny mouse
can creep into our domains from for
eign shores without paying duty, says
the Philadelphia Record. A gentle
man returning from Europe brought
with him a pet white mouse, of which
he had grown very fond. His mouse
let's" was assessed at 20 per cent,
which so enraged its owner that he
vigorously protested. The case was
appealed, and the board of classical
ton of the board of general apprais-
ers, after mature elaboration in SOL
emn conclave, handed down decision
in which the protest was overruled.
