'ay the Price of the Royal for Royal only. Royal Baking Powder is shown by actual chemical tests absolutely pure and 27 per cent greater in strength than any other brand. Many grocery stores have recently been stocked with second-class brands of baking powder, which are urged upon consumers at the price of the high-cost, first-class Royal. These powders cost from 8 to 30 cents a pound less than the Royal, besides being of 27 per cent, less strength.

It eeems strange to some of us that the ancients should cry aloud to Jupiter in their hour of affliction and praise and believe in a succor that never came. But it was not very strange. Every dawn and every sunset thrills one with awe; the dullest, coldest clod feels that this great globe of fire in the heav ens is the beacon of eternity, while for him there is no tomorrow. The aid world saw its god climb in the Cast every day. His light, warm and kindly, bringing hope and cheer r adding to the irony of misery in the hearts of those who saw it, crept into every house. It glorified the towers and domes of the city, and added to the horrors of the holocaust or battlefield. The Egyptians, Baby lonians, Greeks and Romans had their gods above them, the sun by day, the moon and stars by night, for those with eyes to see, and the worshipers of those silent, indiffer ent and inscrutable deities wailed and wept in vain, sacrificed and bled before their altars in vain. We, too, cry to our unseen God from wrecks, floods, battlefields, siok ness, famine, oppression and fear, but these things and death seem eter nal, and resignation and the final mystery are the only cure for the ills of each generation. We know noth ing; we hope for all things, and we die. New England Magazine. Be Licked the Klttea. The Rev. Father Kennedy, of St Patrick's church, has a handsome St Bernard dog that weighs 100 pounds or more, which roams the streets like an autocrat and exercises his own sweet will. He has the ap pearance of being a moral dog, but his reputation would be better if he had not contracted the habit of fol lowing the police .about the city at night Thursday afternoon he met a panting kitten near the postolfice that was once white, but in the dust bf ' the street she had beceme a dirty fand unsightly thing, such as small dogs like to harass. She did not eigh over a pound, but 100 pounds f dog could not make the kitten .n. . She humped herself into a timy ball and spat at the noble St Bernard a number of times, but when she found he meant her no harm she yielded herself to his caresses. He lapped her with a tongue as large as she was, and when she became sus picious and wanted to flee, the dog held her and lapped her fur until she was as white as snow. He then left her to go her way and trotted of! through Main street Norwich Bul letin. -'; From Stowaway to Captain. Twenty years ago Captain E. A. Marwick, of Portland, late master of the bark Rose Innes, found a stow away on board his vessel just after leaving a German port for the United States. Calling the ragged and half starved boy aft Captain Marwick, who was never noted for amiability, asked what he meant by coming on board his vessel, and told him to prepare for the soundest thrashing he ever got The boy replied that a thrashing was just what he ex pected. This excited Captain Marwick's curiosity, and he questioned the boy, who said that he had been accus tomed to daily thrashings at home, and thought that he cold not pos sibly fare worse as a stowaway on an American merchantman. At this Captain Marwick's anger changed to admiration for the plucky lad, whom he soon after adopted. The old cap tain has now retired from the sea, and the poor stowaway now com mands the Rose Innes and has a wife and children in a pleasant home in Farmington, where the man who gave him a etartin the world instead of a thrashing often visits. Million. Demand for a Standard Bail. "I don't pretend to know much about the railroad business," said the superin tendent of one of the great rolling mills of the Illinois Steel company, "but 1 don't see any necessity for the diversity of the steel rails in use by our railroadi today. The fact is, each road or system of roads has its own particular form ol rail and will nse no other kind. Ton can readily perceive how this handicaps the rolling mill men. Part of our Worki are shut down at present because we can not safely go ahead and make a stock oi rails to be sold in the future. If the"r were but one standard of rail in use w could do this, because then there would be a market for our producte at all timet if one road did not want our surplui rails another would. "I hare talked to a half dozen railway magnates at least, and everyone of them holds precisely the same views that I da upon this subject. But no one seemi able to suggest any practical solution of the difficulty. Each of them said: '1 heartily agree with you. There ought to be a uniform rail in use throughout the country. And our road has the best rail that has been " invented, too. would like to see it adopted as the stand ard rail. Of course our rail is fully pro tected by patents, but for a proper con sideration we would permit other roads to use it.' ; "There it is in a nutshell! Every road wants a uniform rail? every one wants its own particular rail adopted; every one hopes to grow rich by its patent rights if a uniform rail is to be agreed upon. It is impossible, I think, to estab lish a uniform standard. Bat it would prove a good thing for all partiea if it could be done. Boiling mills then might be busy every working day in the year."
