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., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. A Curious Story of Old Coins. “THE LEAST OF THESE.” A carious story of treasure trove comes from Rome. The Order of Benedictine Monks, while digging the foundation of their new monastery on the Aventine hill which is to be dedicated to St. Stanislaus, found what they took to be an earthen pot full of common coins, which the monks hawked about, selling them for a franc- apiece. This fact would have passed unno­ ticed, but the brethren quarreled over their booty, and the police interfering captured over 40 of the pieces out of the original 400 coins, which turned out to be gold medals of great value. Everybody connected with the find has been arrested except one work­ man, who managed to escape with 60 med­ als of the date of the second century and struck by the senate and people of Rome in, honor of the dbnquest of Armenia by Lu­ cius Verus.—New York Recorder. She had little of earthly beauty; She had less of earthly lore ; She climbed by a path so narrow. Such wearisome burdens bore ! And she came with heart a-tremblin To the warden at heaven’s dooi.| And said, “There were hearts of heffifes. ” She said: “There were hands of might. I had only my little children, That call to me day and night. I could only soothe their sorrows, Their childish hearts make light.” And she bowed her head in silence, And she hid her face in shame, When, out from a blaze of glory, A form majestic came, And sweeter than, all heaven’s music, Lo, some one called her name! —Christian Herald. LET THE HUNTER DON GAY COLORS. An Effective Warning. The train was just ready to start for Boston when a detective from Superin­ tendent Byrnes’ office got on one of the smoking cars and said, “Be careful, gentlemen; I believe there are a couple of sharpers inside.” “Good gracious!” exclaimed a very I stylish looking gentleman, preparing to get out. “I’d no idea there were such people here. I’m sure I shall get out.” Another, who was sitting in a seat opposite, exclaimed: “I have a large sum of money with me, and I have no wish to lose it,” whereupon he, too, got out. C “All right, gentlemen,” the officer calmly remarked; “they are both gone now.”—Millard J. Bloomer in Harlem Life. • Superior to Time. It is strange, said a jeweler on Twen­ ty-third street, but women seldom ever consult the official timepiece in the window. A man involuntarily pulls out his watch to set it by the standard time from the United States observatory, and if he passes ten timekeepers in a day would be apt to compare with half of them, but a woman, unless she is very businesslike, wouldn’t -pull out her watch to regulate it, not if she passed 100 standard timepieces. She is superior to time.—New York Recorder.

This I do to lessen the danger of being shot through mistake. “Of the great army of hunters that each fall range the woods of the Pine Tree State there are few that will not sometimes venture a shot into moving bushes on the chances that the invisible object that rustles them may be a deer. The fool sportsman, who is largely in evidence in the shooting season, will do so every time. If it be a man in the bushes, any striking colors of his cos­ tume are apt to catch the eye. of the one preparing to fire and prevent the shot being fired. ’ “The danger of alarming game by such costume? That is not enough to be taken into account. Everything strik­ ing in color is more likely than not to excite their curiosity and draw them toward the hunter if he work with prop­ er slowness and caution. Besides that all the antlered game trust almost wholly to their senses of hearing and smelling to warn them of the approach of danger, and if you can baffle those, faculties you need have little fear of their taking alarm from the sight of you. “But, speaking of costume, don’t wear black, else every ninny, and even, some experienced sportsman-, seeing you among the trees, would let drive at you, believing he was going to bag a bear. ” —New York Sun. WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE IN A HURRY OVER NOTHING. CONGRESS CAN’T DO IT. A Strange Mania That Possesses Many Ap­ parently Sane Citizens, There is a general hope, and belief throughout the country that Congress will do something fixally tor the distress and ■suffering of so many hapless people. It is to be hoped business will start up and give employment to thousands. But there are certain kinds of suffering which Congress can do nothing to relieve. There is pain and misery always which no legisla ion can cure. Just think of men crippled fur life with the tortures of sciatica.
