'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. If they are forced upon
you, see that you are charged a correspondingly
lower price for them.

The disagreeable operation of forcing

Cream Halm, a cure for catarrh and colds
In the head. . .
1 have been a great sufferer from catarrh
for ten years ; could hardly breathe. Home
nights I could not sleep. I purchased Ely's
Cream Balm, and am using it freely ; it is
working a cure surely. I have advised sev
eral friends t use it, and with happy re
sults in every case. It is the medicine
above all others for catarrh, and it is worth
its weight in gold. I thank God I have
found a remedy I can nse with safety and
that does all that is claimed for it. B. W.

And his mimic forests would seem to wave
'Neath the dainty touch that bis genius save;
Or some face of the sweetest beauty graced
The canvas o'er which bis brushes traced.
The world approved him and said it knew
No limit to what his skill could do.
He could turn to subjects less Intense;
He whitewashed the trees and the backyard fence;
He painted the celling and reddened the bricks,
And ke puttied the door step's dents and nicks;
He gave to the stairs the attention due, .
And nickel plated the door knobs, too;
And his wife declared when bis work was o'er

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.

She humped herself into a timy

a number of times, but when she
found he meant her no harm she
yielded herself to his caresses. He

she was, and when she became sus

was as white as snow. He then left

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.

"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."
