functions, and it will reciprocate in a way
agreeable and comforting.
No single ingredient contributes so
' largely toward wholesome, nourishing,
agreeable food as Royal Baking Powder.
Royal Baking Powder's active ingre-
dient, Grape Cream of Tartar, is the
most healthful of the fruit products.
~ This is why Royal Baking Powder
makes the food finer, lighter, more appe-
tizing and anti-dyspeptic, a friend to the
stomach and good health.
Imitation Baking Powders Contain Alum
“The use of alum and salts of alumina in
food should be PROHIBITED. The con-
stant use of alum compounds exerts a
deleterious effect upon the digestive
organs and an irritation of the internal
organs after absorption.

mite the marriage of children
and it is frequently the case that
parents have large families be-
fore they are themselves 21 years
of age. The prevailing ignorance
the great density of population
and early marriages contribute
to an infant mortality that is
appalling. The Roman Catholic
is practically the only religion
that has a foothold on the is-
land, and it is said that in this
church there are 2,000 clergy, or
one to every twenty families.
Every city in or on the Medi-
terranean is full of places of in-
terest to the antiquarian, and
Malta has its share in propor-
tion to its size. Resides those
mentioned there are Phoenician
temple ruins 4,000 years old,
Roman villas and tombs, and
any amount of relics of the
cbCvainc days of the knights.
The church of 8t. John is one of
the most remarkable in Europe.
Its half a thousand marble
monuments to the knights, its
many curious emblems of their
"days ofebivalry, its 450 years of
age: its rich decorations, make
it a place of great interest. Rut
in the event these, its attributes
and continents, are not sufficient
to arouse the interest of the
traveler surfeited, as I confess I
have been, on cathedrals and
relics and ruins, 8t. Johns bus
four priceless treasures that
make it a place of supreme con-
cern.
In a chapel, under lock and
key, is a thorn from the Savior’s
crown, stones with which Steph-
en was slain, and some of the
bones of the Apostles. Must I
accept this? I tried hard. Ob,
ehaae of the lamented Ananias,
help my incredulity. The fact
that no one has taken the trou-
ble to refute the claim establishes
their genuiness beyond a doubt.
Of course it does. And there,
too, is the right huiid of John
the Raptist, a little worse for
wear, but still wonderfully pre-
served. On a huger of ttie cada-
ver there was once a diamond
ring which the great herald of
"The Old World Add Its Ways."
Col. William Jennings Bryan
announces a new book of travel
entitled “The Old World and Ita
Ways,” which recounts his re-
cent tour around the world and
his journeys through Europe.
It is profusely and elegantly il-
lustrated with 240 artistic en-
gravings representing .men and
things seen in the various coun-
tries of the earth during that
noted journey. The engravings
are made from photographs tak-
en by him or his party specially
for this publication. It is the
monumental library work of his
life, and is published uuder his
special personal supervision. He
has, bv special contract with his
publishers, made the retail prices
low down with the view of put-
ting it within the easy reach of
every reader of books and every
man or woman who thinks.
The book gives his experiences
—what he saw and did—whom he
met and his expressions and cou-
! elusions. He made a profound
study of men and things as he
saw them in this noted journey
around the worjd. Hegivesgov-
ernmental, educational, religious
and other conditions, from the
standpoint of a student and one
profoundly interested in the peo-
ple of the earth, wherever distri-
buted.
While Col. Bryan traveled as a
private citizen he went with the
prestige of having made two
memorable contests for the Pres-
idency of the United States, and
he was everywhere recognized
and entertained as a great repre-
sentative American, having a
leading part in the direction of
American affairs. He was given
opportunity for observation and
for ascertaining facts and condi-
tions never before accorded to
any one traveling in privute ca-
pacity.
If one wants to see the world,
and the people who are at the
head of affairs in all countries, j
as well as the masses, fie has in I
this book an opportunity (if see- J

John the Baptist wearing a dia-
mond ring! I could not accept
it. J do not charge anybody
with deception, but. there is a
mistake somewhere, that is all.
When Napoleon captured the
city in 1800 be took the dia-
mond ring from the finger and
threw the withered hand aside
in disgust, exclaiming, “keep
the carrion.” And they kept it.
But there is yet a more start-
ling apartment in this remark-
able edilica, a chapel with wall
and ceiling lined with grinning
human skulls. They are not
placed at random but arranged
with artistic skill and care in all
j sorts of designs, shaped into
full framed skeletons that leer
at you with startling and ghast
ly fixed smiles, in curves and
arches and forming windows
and wainscoting. Iu the world,
civilized and savage, there is not
such a gruesome and appalling
spectacle. In the church of the
monks, not far distant, is a
scene almost as horrible, for the
bodies of all the monks of Malta
lie there unbuned, in the various
dried and twisted stages of decay
without decomposition, and
wearing the cloaks they wore in
life. A story is told of a young
man who playfully pinned the
dress of a lady to one of these
cloaks, and when she moved the
skeleton seemed to rise and fol-
low her. The shock destroyed
her reason.
But all these superstitions and
follies are partially offset by the
splendid frugal habits of the peo-
ple. Education will in time re-
move those horrible nightmares.
Let us think of that day rather
than of poor Malta’s present
moral and mental plight. Let
us dwell on the marvelous pluck
of her people, upon her illustri-
ous past, upon her commerce
amounting to $5,000,000 amp
ually upon the pleasing fact that
in her saving banks, where the in-
habitants deposit their earnings,
there is $ 20 lor each of them, ev-
en to the babes, and all this earn-
ed off bleak, rocky hillsides that
would not support a goat in
Texas, and which would be im-
pudent to offer for sale there at
any price. v

Profit in Bois I)”arc.
It was asserted and accepted
as a fact at a meeting of the
National Association of Agricul-
tural Implement and Vehicle
Manufacturers recently held, that
the supply of hickory in this
country will be exhausted within
a few years. A steady advance
in the price of both raw material
and finished product will be the
natural result, and in the mean-
time the vehicle manufacturer
will turn their attention to the
discovery of a substitute for
hickory. In Texas we have a
native timber which tan not
only be substituted for hickory
for all purposes, but is vastly
superior to it for most purposes.
In fact, for general use it is
doubtful whether anything that
grows is equal to bois d’arc. If
it were grown as a crop the pos-
sibilities of its production tire al-
most unlimited, and it would be
more renurnerative than any oth-
er staple crop. Valleys of
streams subject to overllow and
for that reason left uncultivated
could be used to produce bois
d’arc, and within a period of
from seven to ten years each
acre of land of this fertility
wonld yield timber worth on the
market from $500 to $1000. It
would not be a quick crop but
its profits would be larger and
more certain than from any oth-
er product of the soil.
The probabilities are that
within the period required to
grow a crop of this sort the price
of bois d’arc timber will greatly
advance, and by marketing time
the owner of five acres of such
timber will have a snug little for-
tune. Any land owner can
afford to make, the venture be-
cause he can utilize waste land
for it, and the labor required will
hardly be noticeable.—Bay U’ity

Judge Mansfield has issued the
order for an election Anril .‘50th
for the incorporation of Colum-
bus for school purposes and sev-
en trustees for the schools.
More importance attaches to
this election than some of our
citizens, perhaps, have consider-
ed. This importance arises from
the fact that i lu* Legislature
passed a law requiring every
county to elect, a School Super-
intendent. whose salary of 81G00
is drawn from tie* school fund.
This would Take about 2<> cents

son and residing with his parents
at Alleyton, was drowned in the
Colorado river near Alleyton
Sunday afternoon. He had been
in swimming, and not returning
home about dusk a search was
made and his clothes found upon
the bank. Up to Monday morn-
ing the body had not been re-
covered, and as the alligators
are very bad about the point
where he was drowned, it is fear-
ed it will never be found. Much
