A (treat Frozen Lake.
On the road from Irkutsk lo Ki-

frozen for nine mouths in tho year.
Mr. J. M. Price, in ■•From the Arctic

PURE WATER A SAFEGUARD.
A llnng which is very goon lor
housekeepers to iciuoinber is that
aluin is said to have power to pm ify
water moro than almost anything else
llial can ho used. Most peopio know
thnt muddy water can be cleared by
alum, but that it will lid it of what is
called bacteria, or the quality which
renders it detrimental to lienlth, as
physicians say, has ouly recently been
discovered. Rutting one-half grain
to t gallon wilt answer (Tie purpose.
When llioro is a doubt nln u( the purity
of tlio water, tins is a very easy thing
tedo; so easy that it matters little
whether it is a necessity or not.
It isi# safer thing always to take
precaution nbout Hie water that is
mod in the family, unless tho source
fiom which it is obtained is known to
lio nhsolnlcly pure. Another cYccl-
Icut thing is tn boil all the water that
ia to be drunk liy IIm family. After
A Bridge of Baud.
One of the most remarkable instances
•f desert-road making ever aeee was that
in Death Valley. Tne numb there was
bridged over by a natural deposit Of salt
se Muck Hint it would hear .Hie weight
of a railroad train—a bridge quite as In-
teresting in its way as tbe ice bridges on
which railroad traina cross the Rt. Law-
rence River during «ome winter*. Tim
engineering problem in Death Valley,
however, was simple, for the irregu-
larities of the aurface of tbe bridge bad
merely to be levelled with sledge ham-
mer* to create a permanent way that In
tire years of steady use showed nn m*
terial wear or injury. Only a litllo leaa
striking, however, are the mud roads to
be found there and elsewhere in the
desert, it sounds somewhat paradoxical
to apeak of mud road* on a desert, but
long stretches of mud crossed by high-
way* can lie found in |«ith Nevada and
California, where the region ia so arid
that nothing but grease brush and cactus
grow there. About the home of the
famous old prospcc'or aod grizzly bear
killer, John W. Rcarles, who lives on
the west side of the Atlas Mountains,
one tioda several miles of roadway which
he baa built across a seemingly impaai-
alile marsh. The thermometer stands at
120 degrees in the shade for days at a
stretch there, but the mud iti that marsh
never dries up. The mud is impaMahle,
but bridges of land have been built across
It. The mud is peculiar. If 1 mule
should try to cross it lie would sink to
his body, and stay where he sank till
licljK'd out. Nevertheless, when sand
and gravel from the mesa are dunqied oa
the mud they do not »ink altogether,
but form mil tad a very good bridge
over the mud. The sand and mud that
come in contact with each other seem to
form a cement that hardens under th*
best of the sun into 1 solid crust strong
enough to support a ballasting of saud
and gravel above it and the load of mules
and wagons on the bajlaat. The mud
over which these bridges of sand arc
built bat been penetrated to a depth of
more than a hundred feet without find-
ing anything hut mud, and it is a very
suit mud at that.—New York Run.

(hair soul, not fur seal), sillier witli

as may bo desired, with wulrus skin

grass, were tlie first articles of apparel
adopted. They aro tho most comfort-
able 1 havo evor worn ; they are also
the most clumsy looking.
But one soon forgets about tho ap-
peai-ani'o, aud a person with a pair of
Aiiicricuu-mndo leather hoots or shoos
looks as much out of plnco as an
Eskimo would on tho atreota of Port-

most of the party are provided witli
them. Tho hoods are usually attached

On counting the sum he found lhat ko
had lost a fifty-pound note (f'JuOj, and
at once sped hack to the place of enter-
tainment to look for the. missing “pa-

of tlie note and bf the hansom winch
conveyed him to Thread needle street.
Tbe search waa fruitless, so he promptly
charterrd another rati to convey him i<>

his lost treasure was lying on the seat;
it was the same vehicle tn which he had

ROYAL

Best Baking Powder
The Official Government Reports:
The United States Government, after elaborate
tests, reports the Royal Baking Powder to be of
greater leavening strength than any other. {Bui-
him 13, Ag. Dep.,p. 599-)
The Canadian Official Tests, recently made, show
the Royal Baking Powder highest of all in leaven-
ing strength. (Bulletin 10,p. i 6, Inland Rev. Dtp.)
In practical use, therefore, the Royal Baking
Powder goes further, makes purer and more perfect
food, than any other.
Government Chemists Certify:
“Thr Royal Baking Powder is composed of pure and
wholesome ingredients. It dors not contain either a]um or phos-
phates, or other injurious substances.
“Edward G. Love, Ph.D."
"The Royal Baking' Powder is undoubtedly the. purest
and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.
( , “Renry A. Mott, M. I).,Ph.P,”
'“The itoyal Baking Powder is purest in quality and high-
est in strength.pf any baking powdet of which l ihavc knowledge.
