A Marvellous Showing.
The U. S. Government, through the Agri
cultural Department, has been investigating
the baking powders for the purpose of in
forming the public which was the purest,
most economical and wholesome.
The published report shows the Royal
Baking Powder to be a pure, healthful
preparation, absolutely free from alum or any
adulterant, and that it is greatly stronger in
leavening power than any other brand.
Consumers should not let this valuable
information, official and unprejudiced, go
unheeded.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.,
MAXIM'S NEW IDEA.
A Tort In th. Air Whicii Would Coat
Fortune, bat End a War.
The celebrated inventor of the Maxim
goo, one of the most formidable of
modern weapons, is hard at work, as he
has been for a long time, upon the old
problem of aerial navigation. In one im
portant respect Maxim is working on
different and less difficult lines than
those which other inventors have tried
to follow. They have aimed at the de
Vising of flying machines which could
be operated at a cost not too great to ad
mit of their use in the ordinary busi
ness affairs of life. The inventor of the
Maxim gun, however, is very appropri
ately working, primarily, to produce a
machine which can be used in warfare.
For this purpose it is not at all neces
sary that the expense of air navigation
should be low enough to bring it within
reach of commerce or travel. What be
is aiming at is the creation of a new
and terrible engine of war, and every
body knows that the great powers of
Europe take little account of cost when
they are dealing with the armaments
which they regard as essential to their
very existence.
If a flying machine or airship can
be invented which will be efficient in
ordinary weather and will enable the
power possessing it to attack the for
tresses and camps of its enemies from
above, there will be a mad rush to ob
tain plenty of the new engines of de
struction, no matter how much they
may cost to build and operate. The pic
ture of wholesale destruction which is
held up before the military mind when
an inventor talks of pouring dynamite
shells down upon a beleaguered fortress
from a great height and thus blow it
into atoms, without risk or possible de
fense, is too attractive to permit money
to stand in the way at alL Perhaps we
shall see that wonderful dream of the
poet come true which is told in the
lines:
Hear the heavens fill with shouting, and then
rained a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling to the
central blue.

Good For Invalids.
The weather man has been very good
to invalids. When a thin ghost of a
maid gets so blue that the air looks
azure, the nurse van bundle her up in a
big shawl, deposit her in a big rocking
chair and roll her to the window, where
she can watch pedestrians go through
gymnastic performances on a small piece
of ice in front of the house. Her droop
ing spirits rise as fast as people tumble
down, and the little invalid who hasn't
been oat of the house for weeks and
weeks declares the weather man to be a
jolly good fellow. Chicago News-Record.
Altogether Too Practical.
"Ah, dearest," sighed a young man,
kneeling at the feet of his dearest own,
"dost thou know what of all things is near

"Really I can't say." she sweetly reolied:

was a flannel shirt. "
She was too practical, and it broke the

A MOTHER'S STORY.
HAPPINESS COMES AFTER YEARS
OF SUFFERING.
The Terrible Experience of a Well
Known Official's Wife A Story That
Appeals to Kvery Mother in the Land.
From the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Press.)
No county official in East Tennessee is
better known ana more hiehlv esteemed
than Mr. J. 0. Wilson, Circuit Court
Ulerk of Khea county, at Davtoo. the
home of Mr. Wilson. He enjoys the
confluence ana respect ot all classes, ana
in the business community his word is
as good as his bond. Just now Mr. Wil
son is receiving heartiest congratulations
from his numerous friends because of
the restoration to robust health of his
estimable wife, who has for years been
a helpless invalid. Mrs. Wilson's high
standing in society and her many lovable
traits of character have won her a host
of friends, and her wonderful recovery
has attracted wide-spread attention.
As the Prru was the medium of bring
ing to the invalid lady's attention the
remedy that has effected her remarkable
cure, a reporter was sent to Dayton to
interview Mrs. Wilson, in order that the
general public might have the benefit of
the sufferer's experience and be made
aware of the treatment that wrought
such a marvelous change in her condi
tion. The reporter was welcomed at the
Wilson home, and the enthusiastic lady
with becoming reluctance gave the his
tory of her affliction and the manner
in which she was relieved :
"Yes," said Mrs. Wilson, "I was for
eight years an invalid with one of the
most distressing afflictions woman can
suffer. For eight years I moped around,
dragging myself with difficulty and pain
out of bed. My little ones went un
trained, and were greatly neglected,
while I looked listlessly and helplessly at
the cheerless prospect before me and
them. I suffered the most intense pains
in the small of my back, and these
seemed even greater in the region
of the stomach, extending down to the
groins. I suffered agony sleeping or
awake. Despair is no word for the feel
ing caused by that dreadful sensation of
weakness and helplessness I constantly
experienced.
" I was treated for my trouble by sev
eral local physicians, but they were able
to give me only temporary relief by the
use of sedatives and narcotics. I had
almost given up all hope of ever securing
permanent relief, when I saw an account
in the Prttt of a cure which Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills had effected. I decided
to try them, as I knew the lady who had
been cured and had great confidence in
her statement. I began to take the pills
in October, 1893, and in two months I
was doing light housework and attending
to the children without any bad effects
or weakness, such as I bad formerly ex
perienced. Hitherto I had been unable
to retain any food, but now my appetite
grew stronger, and with it came back
that old, healthy and hearty tone of the
stomach. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured
me, and I assure you the cure has
brought a great change in our home. I
can now rejoice in my husband's success,
for I feel that I have something to live
for. Who has a better right to feel this
than a mother? One thing more. I
have recommended these pills to others,
and many of the women of Dayton have
taken them with good results, and it is
my greatest pleasure to recommend to
every suffering woman a remedy that
has done so much for me."
An analysis proves that Dr. WilliamB'
Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a
condensed form all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after effects of la grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow com
plexions, that tired feeling resulting from
nervous prostration; all diseases result
ing from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also a specific for troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppres
sions, irregularities and all forms of
weakness. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are now manufactured by the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Schenec
tady, N. Y., and are Bold in boxes (never
in loose form by the dozen or hundred,
and the public are cautioned against
numerous imitations sold in this shape)
at 60 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.60,
ana may be bad of ail druggists or direct
by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company.
Large squares of Turkish bath toweling
almost sheets in size are much used in
stead of bath robes. The loose cloth is
manageable and serviceable actually as a
drying towel, while the robe is necessarily
from its fashion merely a covering.

PARIS REPORTERS.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL THEY MUST BE
BORN WITH THE TALENT.
What Is Expected of Thens and How Their
Work Is Graded Why None of Them Are
Old Men One Reporter's Experience 1st
Shearing Important Information.
When the "chief ot the service of in
formations" consents to annex a de
butante, his aptitudes are first utilized
in the "department des chiens creves.
This is the professional slang for pick
ing up such items at the police stations
as are not sent in to the prefecture. For
this work be will be paid 9 or 3 oen
times a line for those inserted, on the
average about one in twenty of what he
hands in. These modest auxiliaries have
only exceptionally the perspective of
power to make themselves noted. In'
deed their role is limited, for if they
learn of an accident or an affair out of
the common run they must telephone
the fact to their papers, from whence
the chief sends as soon as possible one
or two staff reporters, but if the late
ness of the hour or the gravity of the
event justifies such an initiative, the
titular of the "chiens creves" becomes
somebody. In this case, if he is clever,
he can render his journal special service
by avoiding a "beat," and he will be
well recompensed. This is why, over at
the Cafe du Coq d Or, consumers some
times hear a young man at a neighbor
ing table shout gleefully to his com'
rades, "At last I have my first crime!"
and the comrades press his hand and
congratulate him warmly.
Perhaps he is promoted to the dignity
of "enqueteur," or interviewer. Now
he receives a retaining salary of $50 to
$60 a month and is paid extra for all
the lines he writes, so that he usually
earns $25 to $30 weekly. He must give
his definite measure, however, and show
if he really has the gift of the profes
sion, for after two or three failures he
would be thanked and have his head
cut off. Of the 150 reporters who each
year spring up on the Parisian press
eight or ten at most survive and become
corporals and sergeants in the profes
sion. To succeed it is necessary not only
to have good health, perfect bearing, a
courtesy and education which permit of
being received everywhere, but great
clearness of ideas and a remarkable
power of assimulation. The reporter
may know nothing, but he must be
quick at understanding everything. It
is necessary that, a question being given,
he should know in a few instants who
is the person in Paris the most probable
to solve it He must go to see this per
son or some one else equally informed,
and in 20 phrases of an interview gather
a clear, net and precise resume of the
responses to make. He must also have
the scent of a detective and above all
love for his profession.
I know a Paris reporter who was sent
out to write about the doings of a for
eign sovereign then at a French water'
ing place. He wdnt to the chateau where
the monarch was stopping, but was po
litely kicked out by the grand chamber'
lain. ' ' We telegraph daily, " the latter
said, "news relative to his majesty to
our national papers. You can take from
them for your columns. " This did not
satisfy my confrera He had been sent
at much expense on this special work,
and it would never do for him to do
nothing during his sojourn. A brilliant
idea struck him. He had got acquainted
with an old man who had formerly been
employed in the telegraphy department
of the army. So he said to the ex-lieu
tenant, "Would you be capable of writ
ing out the value of the letters trans
mitted by the Morse system by simply
hearing the ticktack of the instrument?"
"Parbleu, that is only the infancy of
business, ' ' answered the other. ' ' Well,
sir, I will give you a louis every morn
ing if you will come and pass a quarter
of an hour at the postomce. "
The next day, at the hour when the
dispatches from the chateau arrived,
those two men were very busy in the
office over an imaginary correspondence,
but as soon as the Morse instrument be
gan to tick the old man inscribed on a
sheet of paper letters of foreign words
he did not understand. The reporter
read these words over his shoulder. He
immediately translated them, and the
official dispatch was scarcely off when
he sent the same thing in French to his
Paris paper. The telegraph employees
naturally supposed that this literal
translation was given to its sender by
one of the sovereign's household, while,
as for the royal guest and his grand
chamberlain, they hod the pleasure of
reading in the Paris journal details con
cerning themselves long before their
national papers arrived.
When a reporter has in analogous cir
cumstances shown the resources of his
mind, he generally obtains a fixed salary
which assures him a revenue independ
ent of the fluctuation of actualities
He is, for instance, charged with rela
tions with a cabinet minister, reports
of expositions, publio reunions, eta, but
even in favorable conditions it is excep
tional that he gains more than $200 a
month. Moreover, the fatigue is such
and the nervous tension so constant that
the employment cannot be filled for
many years. This is the reason why
there are no old reporters in Paris, and
why those who are more than 40 years of
age are pointed out with pride. Long
before that age those who are able, to
make their careers as journalists are
classed as "articliers. " They have
shown that they can do reporting other
wise than with their legs, and then they
know the honor of the first page and the
joys of signatures. I am glad to add
that generally these "artioliers, " what
ever their rank or employment, preserve
in their hearts good opinion of these re
porters, and there is a local saying to
the effect that "one becomes a journal
ist; be is born a reporter. " Paris Cot.

SOMEBODY'S GOOD.
To make our own troubles the means of
helping the troubles of others Is a noble
effort for good. A well-Illustrated instance
of this kindly sympathy Is shown in a let
ter from Mr. Enoch L. Hansoom, School
Agent, Marshflelii, Me., an old Union sol
dier. He says: "It may do somebody
soma good to state I am a man of ) ana

set in. I was lame three years and very

and put it on three times, and it made a

Why Lightning rsually Kills.
Those who are unacquainted with the
facts in the cose of ten express surprise when
told that not more than 1 man in 600 who
has been struck by lightning survives, and
that with the larger animals the ratio is
till smaller. In this age of investigation
(electric and otherwise) the layman can
give explanations for natural phenomena
that would have staggered the so called
philosophers of olden times. Thus we find
that the electromotive force of lightning
has been a subject of discussion for some
time past, amateurs and experts alike tak
ing part in the argument At Berlin the
great academy of sciences grappled with
the subject, and the spirited discussions
over the "dynamite force of the unseen
bolt" were only second to the question,
'How shall we kill the comma bacilli?"
Making deductions from all these wran
gles and contentions, I find that the gener
ally accepted opinion is that the electromo
tive force of a bolt of lightning is about
8,500,000 volts, the current about 14,000,000
amperes, and the time of the discharge
about l-20,000th part of a second. In sucb
a "bolt" there is an energy equal to 3,450,
000,000 watts, or about 8,284,183 horsepower.

killsf"-St Louis Republic.
"A Bale Saxpenoe."
"Well, James, how are you feeling to
day?" said the Carbally minister to one of
his parishioners the other day, an old man
suffering from chronic rheumatism. "I
hope the pains are nothing worse you are
not looking so brisk as usual today."
"Na, sir," replied the old fellow sadly,
"I've been gey unfortinit the day." "IIow,
James? In what way?" queried the pas
tor. "Weel, sir," was the reply, "I got a
letter free a Glvsca lawyer body this morn
in tellin me that ma cousin Jock was de id,
an that he bad left me twa h tinner poun."
"Two hundred pounds!" repeated the min
ister. "And you call thut hard luck? Why,
it is quite a fortune for you, James."
"Aye," said the old man sorrowfully, "but
the stipid lawyer body didna pit eneuch
stamps on bis letter, an 1 had a bale sax-
pence to pey for extra postage." Scottish

Grandparents and Their Children.
Grandparents are accused by their sons
and daughters, with a fair show of reason,
of being decidedly more lenient with juve
nile offenders, less sternly disposed toward
discipline, than they were to their children
in an earlier day. They would spoil the
grandchildren if allowed, declare the fa
thers and mothers, serenely confident in
their own discretion and quite sure they
are right in their sternly repressive methods.
Nevermind. The wheel of time in its
ceaseless revolution 1h bringing on the day
when the mnu who now laughingly re
proves his parents for their fancied weak
ness will himself stand in awed pleasure
gazing into the round eyes of the second
generation and feeling himself the founder
of a line. Then it will be bis turn to emulate
the grandparent, as the grandparent has
been from the beginning. Harper's Bazar.

a little now and than
in removing offend
ing matter from the
atomach and bowels
and you thereby
avoid a multitude
of distressing de
rangements and dis
ease, and will have
An
J fj of
less frequent need
of your doctor's
service.
Of all known
agents for this pur.
pose, Dr. Pierce's
rleasant Pellets are
the best. 0c
used, they an al
ways la favor.
Their secondary ef
fect is to keep th
bowels open and
regular, not to fur
ther constipate, as
is the case with
other pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold derangements. The ''Pellets"
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
iu any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them: tbey do not
interfere with the diet, habits or occupa
tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock
to the system. They act in a mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costlvenesa, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belcliiugs. "heartburn," pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a Household remedy after the
first triul. Put up in sealed, glass vials,
therefore alwavs fresh and reliable. One
little " Pellet " is a laxative, two are tnildy
cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to promote
aigesuon, or 10 relieve distress irom overeating-,
take one after dinner. Thev are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
reauuy take mem.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
belter for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one woo
neeas neip.
