The Royal Baking Powder has the en
viable record of bavins received the high

perfectly combined wherever exhibited
in competition with others. In the ex
hibitions of former years, at the Centen

Ktate and Industrial Fairs, where it lias
been exhibited, judges have invariably
warded the Koyal Baking Powder the
highest honors. " .

public, shows the leavening strength of
the Koyal to be 100 cubic inches of car

cream of tartar baking powders exhib

strength thus tested contained but 133
cubic inches of leavening gas. The other
powders gave an average of 111. The

Stout of Kinlv. 111., and it is due no
doubt partly to this popularity that the
recora ot uie rase nas created sucii wide
spread interest. While his experience
is not witnout an equal, yet it lias been
sufficiently remarkable to demand the
attention of thousands of people in llli
nois, among whom are numbered soma
of the most eminent physicians.
in January, iU3, Air. stont was
stricken with what was then believed to
be sciatic rheumatism, and in a short
time was barely able to hobble around
on crutches, and it seemed to his friends
that his davs were numbered. To-dav
he is a strong, hearty-looking man of
pounds.
How this wonderful change was
brought about is most interesting as
told to a representative of the Mepubli-
can oy inr. cnout niroseu : .
" I was afflicted with sciatic rheuma
tism and lumbago in January, 18i3.
The sciatic nerve on the right aide be
came atfected in the hip. running down
to the ankle and across the small of the
back to the left side, and soon my whole
system became atilicted, causing me the
most excruciating pain. - In a very short
time i oeeame totally unable to attend
to any business whatever, and the dis
ease rapidly growing worse, I had to take
to my bed, where 1 lay sunering almost
continuously for months the most agon
izing torture, scarcely being able to move
or oe moved. At one time 1 lay for six
weeks flat on my back, the slightest
movement causing me such pain as al
most to throw me into convulsions. I
cannot begin to express to you the in
tense pain I suffered. I was drawn by
the severeness of the malady ever to the
leftside: lost my appetite: hod no de
sire for food, and what little 1 did eat I
could not digest, the digestive organs
failing to perform their duty, adding
greatly to my already precarious condi
tion. For weeks at a time I was unable
to eat or sleep, sufierinir all the time
most intensely and at times fearing 1
would lose mv reason, and would have
welcomed death to relieve me of my suf
ferings. "I consulted with local physicians and
some of the most eminent specialists of
the larger cities throughout the country,
some treating me for one thing and some
for another, but without effect, and I re
ceived no relief whatever. One physi
cian told me I had double curvature of
the spine and would eventually become
paralyzed. . I spent hundreds of dollars
in the short time I waa afflicted without
receivinz the least benefit. Mv friends
all thought that there was no hope for
me whatever, and said that I must die
and I myself had almost given up in de
spair, when in September, 18113, about
eignt montns alter l was first amicted,
my attention was called to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. Without
much hope I at once sent to C. F. Rickey
& Co., druggists, ML Sterling, III., and
procured some ol tne puis, and immed
ately began taking them. Before long
became aware of a ureat chantre for th
better in my almost hopeless condition.
My appetite came back, and my digestive
organs penormea tneir usual functions
properly. I took some more and grew
rapidly better could situ D in a chair,
and my body becran to straighten out
continued the treatment, and in a short
time was able to be about on crutches.
My recovery from that time on was very
rapid and assured. My right leg, which
oeiore l commenced this treatment was
numb and 'dead, now experienced
prickme. tinelinir sensation. I was en
abled to throw away my crutches and
walk upright once more among my fel

tainable at almost any art store. Dry clay
can be prepared for use by soaking it In
water until it is of the right consistency to

more it Is worked with the better and more

by means of wet cloths laid over it, with
preferably an outer covering of waterproof
fabric, ' A little experience will soon teach a
student just bow to keep the clay in good

wetting afresh once, perhaps twice, a day.

It would seem, judging from Miss
Emily Penrose's lectures on early Athen
ian customs, that the women of ancient
Greece, though they were fair to look
npon and inspired the sculptured ideals
that have ever since set the standard of
womanly loveliness, really had a very
prosaic and stupid time or tt among all
the old poets and philosophers. And
that it is a great deal nicer to 11 va now.
even with a hoop in yojir skirt and a
stiff derby on your head, than in those
days of poetry and high art, when a
woman bad no clubs or leagues, no
cial science sisterhoods, no sewing co
teries with nice men drifting in at the
tea hour, no literary guilds or sanitary
classes, no street cleaning organisations
or hygienic fraternities, no nervous pros
tration, no crinoline, no careen and no
stockings.
- Little Athenian maids were kept close
ly in the women's apartments until they
were married and very rarely appeared
in public They were taught leading,
writing and dancing as accomplish
ments, but their real education consisted
in' learning to spin, to weave, to em
broider and the treatment of simple 111
nessea among their slaves. They must
also learn a great deal of elaborate rit
ual, as women took a prominent part in
the family worship. In the courtyard
garden in the center of the women's
apartments the girls played among the
flowers with their pet animals, the live
playthings taking the place of the me
chanical tors and talking dolls and small
flirtations of today. At T years old a
girl might become an Arrephoroe a most
envied post and take part in the festi
vals or Athena.
At 10 she might engage in ths exciting
operation of grinding the corn to make
votive cakes for Artemis; after that take
part in certain high festivals and proces
sions. Girls were frequently married at
19, the husband being chosen by the
mother. Marriage was looked upon as
both a civu and religious duty, and it
was thought desirable that the husband
should be much older than the wife, bat
there could be little suspense or romance
hi so prosaio a wooing, and after the
wedding a wife never went out unattend
ed, but spent her time in looking after
the bouse, superintending the slaves and
preventing waste.
She waa responsible for everything in
her house, where all the food was pre
pared and all the clothing worn and
made up. Her chief recreations were
religious festivals and weddings, 'tier
only outside duties taking part in funer
al ceremonies. Possibly this is the source
of the inherent love of women for the
mysticism of religion, the joy of wed
dings and the tragedy in death, for some
women seem to enjoy the harrowing de
tails of death's ceremonies as well as the
melody of wedding bells. Still those nn-
emancipated women inspired the poets
to glad bursts of songs and gave to the
artist exquisite models of womanly
grace and to the historian examples of
heroism and soli sacrifice which justi
fied by facts the noble conceptions of
the great poets who sang the charms of
woman s virtue and beauty.
And they didn't have to fret because
men wouldn t let tbem vote or worry
because their last season's skirts would
barely make sleeves for this season's
gowns. So perhaps they were happier
after all, and happiness is, next to beau
ty, the chief virtue of womanhood.

eloquent young preachers of that city,
who has set out on a mission of munici
pal reformation. His
methods dilfer some
what from those of
the New York divine.
After a careful survey
of the field he came to
the conclusion that
the gambling evil was
the worse one that
Ctiicagoans were con
tending with, and at
once planned for the
suppression of that
vice. He formed the
Civic Federation, con
sisting of some of ti
best people of the Windy City. Then
he enlisted the aid of Constables and
detectives, raided the gambling booses,
and has landed several scores of gam
blers behind the bars. His next move
will be against the houses of ill-fame.
Mr. Clarke is at present the most-talked-

tne ministry, ne niui grave doubts on ac

nouueed him totally unfit for the strain of
Methodist preacher's life and assured him
that 12 months of it would (and him in the
grave and "send him to the throne of God

Legend About th Moon. '
"In Ceylon,"says John Fiske, "It is
laid that as Sakyamuni was one day
Wandering half starved in the forest a
pious hare met him and offered itself to
be slain and cooked for dinner, where
upon the holy Buddha set it on high in
the moon that future generations of men
might see it and marvel at its piety.'
In the Samoan islands these dark
patches are supposed to be portions of a
woman's figure. A certain woman was
once hammering something with a mal
let when the moon arose, looking so
much awe a breadfruit that the woman
asked it to come down and allow her
child to eat off a piece of it, but the
moon, enraged at the insult, gobbled np
woman, mallet and child, and there in
the moon's belly yon may still behold
them. New York Telegram.

getting between the tender and baggage
car. , He could not jump off and was
sitting on the plittform when the loco
motive scooped np water from the tank
between the rails. As the tank in the
tender filled up H overflowed and almost
drowned Fuller, who to escape opened
the baggage car door and entered the
car. The huge volume of water poured
in, after him and deluged the oar, de
stroying the contents) of a number of
trunks. Fuller was arrested when the
train reached Uarrisburg and is now in
jail for malicious mischief, Cor, Phila
