DEAD ROSES.

The roses that he gave Jiahette,
One morning when the skies' were lilue,
Were fleckeil with pink and set with l

“Sweetheart," he said, "do not forget;

Then laughed and spurred his horse anew,
Though on her little heart and true

They died before the sun was set—
The roses that he gave Hahctte.

Ah, me, the dead hand holds them yet,

True Economy
»♦
The difference of cost between a
good and a poor baking powder
would not amount for a family's
supply to one dollar a year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors' bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never spoils
the food.
* Royal Baking Powder used always
in making the biscuit and cake saves
both health and money 0
You cannot, if you value good health, afford
to use cheap, low-grade, alum baking pow
ders. They are apt to spoil the food ; they
do endanger the health. Al! physicians will
tell you that alum in food is poisonous.

Is permanent or impermanent is of

A statue may be more lovely in one

There is a Spanish inw that no sub

India is the treasure house of tbe
world. For ages Ceylon and Burmeh
supplied the world with the rarest
gems, and the Eastern potentates
kept tbe finest for their own use. Of
ail the jewels the most noted belong
to the Guicowar of Baroda. They are
valued at $15,000,000. His chief dia
mond necklace contains a stoue called
the star of the south, a Brazilian stone
of 254 carats, for which $400,000 was
paid, the whole necklace being valued
at $1,000,000. The Guicowar has a
wonderful shawl made entirely of un
wrought pearls and colored stones
worked into beautiful patterns. It
cost $5,000,000, and was originally
intended as a gift for the covering of
Mahomet’s tomb, but was so lovely
when done that the Guicowar kept it
bimBeif. Sir Jung Bahadur, the Prime
Minister to the King of Nepal, has a
hat made of diamonds, worth over a
$1,100,000, and perched on top is a sin
gle ruby of incalculable vulue. When
