The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest,

The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and strong

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of
the baking powder which will give her the best food

TWO GOOD STORIES.
Ir. Parr and Jte PennantsBen Jonaon'
Quick Wit.
Dr. Parr (the celebrated scholar) was once
preaching in the country parish of another
clergyman, and, as was his habit, used very
learned language. The rector afterward
said to him: "They could not understand
you." "Nonsense," said Dr. Parr; "I am
sure there was nothing in my sermon which
they could not comprehend." "Well," said
the rector, "1 will call one of them in and
see if he understands the meaning of the
word felicity.' " So he called in a labor
ing man, and said: "John, can you tell me
what is the meaning of felicity?' " "Well,
I don't known, sir," said John, "but I be
lieve it is some part of the inside of a pig."
Lord Craven once invited Ben Jonson to
dine at his house. At the appointed time
Ben trudged off in his usual poor clothes,
patched all over, and knocked at his lord'
ship's door. The astonished porter scratched
his head, and before he conducted the
stranger in, sent to inform Lord Craven
that a shabby clodhopper, who called him
self Ben Jonson, desired to see him. His
lordship flew to the door to welcome the
poet, but started back in surprise when he
saw such an odd figure. "You Ben Jon
son I" said he. "You Ben Jonson, indeed!
Shouldn't care for your clothes, but your
face rounds! You couldn't say 'Bo!' to a
goose." "Bo!" said Ben. His lordship burst
into a hearty laugh, and, satisfied by the
joke of the personal identity of his famous
guest, conducted him in. The Churchman.

CURSE OF THE EVIL EYE.
Belief la Its Malignant Influence Is of
Very Ancient Origin.
There is no superstitious belief of the
human race which is so widely held as th
belief in the existence and malevolent
power of the evil eye. It Is everywhere
known and finds a place In the folklore of
all nations. The apparent cause is always
tliesame that power of fascination by the
human eye which is now known as hyp
notic force, which a primitive age could
imagine to be nothing but a demon resid
ing In and speaking from the human eye.
Po forcible did this thought seem to the
tnind of the ancients that the eye and the
soul were convertible terms in ancient
Biagio.
Kven in this day ot advanced human
knowledge there are many things connected
with the influence of mind upon mind that
are not fully understood, hence it is no
wonder that they proved the possession of
demoniac powers to the mind of him who
attributed everything which he could not
understand to some supernatural agency.
If the thing was not ouly mysterious but
bewildering the first thought was to at
tribute it to diabolism ot some kind. If
the influence went so far as to control the
will of another, then it became witchcraft,
and the one exercising it was a witch.
Kvery where was the belief that the souls
of the dead could enter into and animate
the living. Their essence was considered
as controlling those into whom they en
tered, and the sign of their presence was
the glittering eye, something like that
with which the Ancient Mariner holds
"the wedding guest" in Coleridge's
"Rime." These glittering eyes, in the
great or the small, were counted as sure
marks of an indwelling presence. In the
great it was divine; in the mean tt was a
sure sign of an evil eye, or in other words j
a demoniac possession. Iu like manner
the glitter in the eyes of the good Indicated
the possession of beneficent virtues, while
the same glitter iu the eyes of the malevo
lent indicated maleficent diabolism.
The key to the theory la the possession
of that power kuown as fascination, where
by a mere look makes one mau ready to do
the will of another instead of his own.
This power in the eye in all folklore is at
tributed to either souls or demons, which
are supposed to swarm around us in al
most infinite numlier. These souls are
everywhere, and a large proportion of them
are not ouly supposed to be malevolent,
but to be possessed of considerable power
lor working 111 to tbose who offend them.
The folklore tales are full of stories
about the operation of the evil eye and of
recipes for defense against its power. A
large proportion of these are connected with
the use of fire or the color of red, that being
in all magic the equivalent of Are. This
supposed value arises from the old worship
of the sun or from the hatred which all
evil things are thought to have of the fire
which is to consume tbem in the pit of woe.
A red string about the neck or arm is the
most ordinary device, but red berries as of
the "rowan tree," or mountain ash, are
still more bijjhly prized.
Among the Scandinavian nations, the
Scotch, and particularly with the gypsies,
the rowan tree has a standing of its own,
apart from its use in connection with the
evil eye. That special meaning reaches
back to the o!d pagan faith and need not
be considered here. In Italy and among
the Latin races generally the horseshoe, or
Its equivalent, is chiefly relied upon to
counteract the Influence of the evil eye.
If a horseshoe is not at hand a forked twig.
or even the fingers of the band parted, is
counted or great value. Cbtcago Times.
Men Are Living Beyond Their Mean.
I remember opening my eyes to their
widest extent when I was told by the late
Mr. Lyon, who had charge of the credits of
one of our magnificent dry goods palaces,
that he had on his books 14,000 different
accounts, some settled monthly, some
quarterly, some semiannually, some once
a year and a select few wben it pleased
them. See what an immensity of capital
Is required for 14,000 accounts, even if each
was in the vicinity of $500 alone. Some of
them run into the hundreds and far up
into thousands. This can be traced by
analogy to tne smaller stores, to the tin ton
ers, bakers, confectioners, jewelers, coal
dealers, to livery stable keepers, shoe
makers, the hatters and the tailors. Men
are living far beyond their means because
the luxuries of the past they must enjoy
day in and day out; expenses which to our
fathers would bare seemed phenomenal
are to us the ordinary output, Joseph
Howard in rew York Recorder,
The Utility or the Battle.
The utility of the rattle to the rattle
snake is a problem still awaiting solution.
It has been supposed to be useful as para
lyzing its prey through terror excited by
the sound thus induced. But this is a very
doubtful explanation. It is akin to the
notion formerly entertained that serpents
bad a power of fascinating other creatures.
Others have thought that it seems to ex
cite the curiosity of animals, and so brings
them within the rattlesnake's reach. It
has also been supposed that it serves, as it
may do, to enable snakes of different sexes
to find each other, and also to guard the
animal from attack wben it is helpless
from its power of offense having beeq tern
porarily exhausted.
No sutllcient evidence has, however, been
collected to show that any of these ingen
ious speculations affords us a real clew to
the true cause of such a curious and elabo
rate mechanism. Quarterly Kevlew.

Most Interesting and Valuable Faet
Drought Out In an Interview by Oaf

Wahiunuton. D. O., April 0. The la
terviews with various prominent men
which I recently sent you as to the ap
narentlv mysterious cause of the un'
timely and sudden deaths among them,
.has aroused a Brent deal ot excitement.
Senators, representative and heads of
departments nil declare that unless some
steps can lie taken to avoid the killing
strains of public life, few prominent
men won id care to ru u tor ortiee. Traced
to its source, it has become fully appar
ent that there is one great cause (or it
all, and that cause is the wearing strains
upon certain organs of the body which
cause their tissues to give way, and
hence bring about sickness or sudden
death. I continued the investigation,
which was reported yesterday, by calling
upon a numlier oi leading puouo men.
Hon. Daniel Lockwood, genial and
wholu-soulud, has an extensive knowl
edge o: the public men of the country.
lie was wen aware oi tne strains to
which they are subjected, and the sudden
deaths which have been so prevalent.
"It would seem," he said, "as though
there should lie some way et preventing
these things. Our grandfathers had
family remedies that seemed to preserve
health and prolong life, and it would
appear as though some modern discov
ery should De loiind winch would answer
the same purpose for the added strains
of modern life. I think if anyone has
such a discovery it is certainly my friend
Warner with Ids famous Safe Cure. I
know of a great many people who use
it constantly; and I have in mind one
gentleman connected with the Govern
ment Printing Oltlee here who, together
with his wife, has occasion to be exceed
ingly BTHteful for the restored health
and strength which Warner's Bale Cure
has imparted.
lion. ll.s. ureeiueat was found in the
House of Representatives. He saidi
"The exhaustions of public life are cer
tainly very great, but so also are the
strains of business life, of professional
life, of social life. I have personal ac
quaintance with Mr. Warner, the dis
coverer of the celebrated Safe Cure, and
I consider it lar superior to any or all
other preparations. Certainly any arti
cle as popular as that and selling as ex
tensively as it does, must have unusual
merit."
Probably the most remarkable case of
a government oflieial brought to death's
door and men rescued is that of Mr. J,
Henderson Wilkinson, ft prominent at
torney of this city. In conversation
with me, ho said : ''Ten years ago 1 was
seized with an attack of Wright's disease.
I was then at work in the Treasury,
here. I know it was Bright s disease
for several reasons. In early life I studied
medicine some little tune, l knew from
my symptoms what my trouble was, but
i was aiso in tne nanus oi my pnystcians.
How badly I became, you can understand
when I say that my hands became
bloated and aetually cracked open. Mv
limbs and body would alternately swell
and collapse. I could ouly creep across
the floor. Finally my physician said to
me: 'You are at death's door with
Uright'a disease. You may live a few
weeks, but there is absolutely no hone
of your recovery.' Although I was so
very sick my lriends did not desert me.
Numbers of them called to express their
sympathy. Col, Daniel A. Grosvenor,
Judge Tarbel, Rev. IJr, Rankin, Col.
Robert M. Douglas more than a hun
dred prominent men extended to me
their sympathy. None supposed for a
moment I could ever reeover. Upon the
advice of the Rev. Dr. Rankin, now
President of the Howard University, I
began the use of a preparation of which
I had but little know ledge. I began to
improve at once. I continued its use,
nothing else, and I state to you to-day
mat i owe my lire solely to Warner s
Bale Cure, which rescued mo from the
grave after the doctors had abandoned
all hope. I am certain that if men and
women generally fully realized the won
derful power of this great discovery, and
used it faithfully, tliore would he lets
sickness, fewer deaths, longer life and
more happiness than at present."
I was greatly impressed with Mr. Wil
kinson's earnestness of manner. Cer
tain it is, that his statement is true, and
that he is to-day in perfect health.
Senator Blackburn not only knows
what wearing strains of political life
are, but also of the power which the
great discovery above mentioned ha
shown both in Washington and through,
out the land. Indeed, he is a living ex
am Die of its efficiency.
I mw Senator W. C. Squire, Mr. H. C.
Clark of the First Auditor's Cflice, Cap
tain j. u. tiau, ana many otners, ami
tneir statements amply conurmed all
had previously learned.
Mr. Abraham I. Ilahn, well known In

Mr. H McNeil, a highly educated

the same, it was generally admitted
that the strains of public life in Wash'

the life, but it was universally conceded

Sick or Bilious Headache. Consti
pation, Indigestion, Uilious Attacks,
or any derangement of the Liver.

that relieves promptly and cures
permanently. Don't shock the tyt

They're the smallest, for one thing
(but that's a great thing j, and the
easiest to take.
They're the bct, for they work
in Nature's own way mildly and
geptly, but thoroughly and effec
tively. They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay

But don't get something that the
dealer says is "just as good," It
may be better for him, but it's
pretty certain to be worse for you.
