FOR LITTLE FOLKS. The U. S. Government Tests Show the Absolute Superiority of Royal Baking Powder. £ The Message In the Glass. (Data from the latest Official U S. Government Report on Baking Powders, Department of Agriculture, Bulletin 13, page 599.) I lx I J?)OYAL is placed first of the cream of tartar powders; actual strength, 160.6 cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce of powder. Every other powder tested exhibited a much lower strength than the Royal, the average being 33 p>er cent. less. Every other powder likewise showed the presence of alum or sulphuric acid. The claim that this report shows any other powder of superior strength or purity has been denounced as a falsehood by the Government officers who made the tests. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. S The Mothers’ Union. A great man, speaking lately on edu cation, said there was one question which pi-esented itself, “Are We, by all these modern schemes, training the characters of our children or merely occupying their mind3?” Parents cannot delegate their responsibilities—a truism vigorous ly emphasized of late by head masters of public schools. And on whom does the duty of early training chiefly devolve but on the mother? It was to call forth the great reserve force of mothers’ influence that Mrs. Sumner, wife of the bishop of Guildford and already well known as a gifted writer and speaker, started some 17 years ago her noble work of the Moth ers’ union. First inaugurated in the Westchester diocese, it has spread with marvelous rapidity all over England (never being introduced into any parish without cler ical sanction) till it now numbers many thousands of members, from highest’ to lowest in rank, not only in the United Kingdom, but also in India, Australia, Tasmania, Canada and America. The Mothers’ union is for all classes, from duchess to peasant, and consists of mem bers and associates.—Florence Moore in London Journal. c? I Boys and girls are often wont to write missives to each other, sometimes in cipher and sometimes with the letters formed backward.

Who Can Look on the Infirmities of a Veteran Without a Feeling of Deepest Sympathy ? From the Herald, Woodstock, Va.] | There is an old soldier in Woodstock, . Va., who served in the war with Mexi- ico and in the war of the rebellion, Mr. Levi Mclnturff. He passed thorugh both of these wars without a serious wound. The hadrships, however, told seriously on him, for when the grip at tacked him four years ago it nearly killed him. Who can look on the in firmities of a veteran without a feel ing of the deepest sympathy for him? His townspeople saw him confined to his house so prostrated with great ner vousness that he could not hold a knife or fork at the table, scarcely able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he often stumbled and fell. They saw him treated by the best talent to be had —but still he suffered on for four years, and gave up finally in despair. One day, however, he was struck by Jean Brooks Greenleaf. v Meeting for the first time Mrs. Jean the account of a cure which had been Brooks Greenleaf, the president of the effected by the use of Dr. Williams’ New York State Suffrage association, Pink Pills.

A Queer Yacht Race. Boys and girls would surely have laughed if they could have seen a funny yacht race which took place in Central park last summer. The two yacht owners were two little boys named Joe and George, and their yachts were of course the Valkyrie and the Vigilant. George owned the Vigi lant, and Joe the Valkyrie. In the race the Vigilant won, which was very nice for the patriotic little Americans who watched the race. The Valkyrie upset and was washed ashore an hour later with her sails all torn and nothing left of her but a piece of kin dling wood. Both the yachts were strips of lath a foot long. Holes were bored in each end, and pieces of white cloth served for sails. The English flag floated from one, and the American flag from the other. Both yachts were launched at precisely the same moment, and then all the boys and girls stood on the banks of the lake and cheered while the yachts sailed away before the gale. It was a swan—one of those beautiful, big, white ones with a long graceful neck—that upset the Valkyrie, for the swan was not used to seeing a yacht race and poked out her long inquisitive bill to find out what it all meant. It was rare sport for boys and girls, for you may be sure that none of them had ever before seen a yacht upset by a swan.—New York Ledger.

During the winter, owing to various causes, the blood becomes loaded with impurities and loses its richness and vitality.

Tasso, being told that he had a fair op portunity of taking advantage of a very bitter enemy, replied, “I wish not to plun der him, but there are things which I wish tp take from him—not his honor or his life, but his malice and ill will.” Well spoken!

The inhabitants of St. Lucia have late ly discovered a most wonderful plant. It grows in a cavern, in an immense basin of brackish water that has overflowed I from the sea. The bottom basin is cov- I ered with pebbles and each pebble with from one to five of these plants, which, for want of a better name, are termed animal flowers. These curious creatures, which are in all shades of color, remind one of a beau tiful flower bed. To the sight they are perfect flowers, but on the approach of a hand or a stick they retire out of sight. Close examination shows that the mid dle of the flowerlike disk is provided with four filaments which move round the petals with a brisk, spontaneous motion. Each of these filaments is pro vided with pinchers for receiving prey. They live upon the spawn of fish and marine insects. Whenever the pinchers on the filaments make a catch, the petals immediately close, and there is no es cape for whatever has been caught. Why are buttons on men’s clothing on the right hand side and on women’s cloth- Ing on the left hand .side? This is curious, : but true. It would be interesting to know ‘ the reason. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a medicine upon which you may depend. It is the only true blood purifier prominently before the public eye today. It has a record of cures unequalled in the his tory of medicine. It is the medicine of which so many people write, “Hood’s Sarsaparilla does all that it is claimed to do.” You can take Hood’s Sarsa parilla with the confident expectation that it will give you pure blood and renewed health.

Late in the afternoon of a raw day in November, as the doctor alighted from his carriage at the door of his stable after a long drive over frost bound roads, he was somewhat startled by the sudden appear ance of a hound, which trotted up to him without ceremony, and seizing him by the skirt of his long driving coat endeavored to pull him in the direction of a shed ad joining the stable. The doctor remonstrat ed rather vigorously, whereat the dog im- 1 mediately released his hold, but instead of running away retreated in good’ order to I ward the shed, whence he presently reap peared and tugged at the coat as before. Having freed the horse from the shafts of his buggy, the doctor went into the house for a lantern. As he came out the hound again approached and repeated the performances. This time, greatly to the creature’s delight, the doctor followed him into the shed, and there in a remote corner, stretched at full length upon his side and evidently in a condition of exhaustion, lay what is known as a “coach dog”—a short haired animal of medium size, whose coat is thickly covered with small black and i white spots. By the light of the lantern the doctor looked the poor fellow over carefully and soon found the cause of his breakdown in torn and bleeding feet that made travel impossible. Here was a charity case in deed, and to such appeals of charity the I physician is ever ready to respond. A comfortable bed of straw and a good I supper were quickly provided .for the suf- ' ferer. His feet were then cleansed, anoint ed with a soothing ointment and wrapped I in bandages, the hound lookihgm<Tnean- ' while with every-t^inter- ! | est and pleasure. He was invited by the j hospitable doctor to spend the night with his canine friend, but lie declined the in- vitation. Having seen his companion prop- | ‘ erly cared for, he hurried away as if on important business, but when the doctor | | went to the stable next morning he found I I the faithful creature at the stable door 1 waiting for admission. When he was permitted to enter, be went ■ straight to the patient^ and I wish I could report word for word what passed between the: two. I have no doubt the hound in quired into his friend’s condition, congrat- ' ulated him upon havingfound an asylum in his extremity, and in reply to expres sions of gratitude and obligation protested that he had done no more than any self re specting dog would do under the same cir cumstances. He remained about the sta ble for half an hour and then left.—-Ou? Animal Friends. Women’s Exchange. The women of a certain city are pro posing to establish an exchange for wom en’s work that shall provide the material for underclothing, fine embroidery and all such articles as are salable, and buy them at once from the makers, paying them a certain sum for their labor. The articles are then to be disposed of at a public sale or private sale at reasonable rates, covering the cost, of material and labor. Charities managed in this way in England have proved successful. The women of another city announce to the public that they have established a bu reau where mending of all kinds will be done at the- residences or taken away and make a particular appeal to bach elors and business, women to avail them selves of its advantages. Women seam stresses are also provided to make boys’ clothing out of old material.—New York Post. A DOG’S CHARITY. A little boy whose experience with ele vators had been a very limited one was brought to the city by his mamma, and in the course of two or three hours’ shopping the little fellow was taken up and down in different stores a good many times. • Finally the two went to an office build ing, took chairs in a rather small room and waited. “Where are we now, mamma?” asked the boy. “In, Uncle Rob’s office. ” He glanced around the rather contracted quarters and then asked: “When does it go up?”;—Pittsburg Chronicle. —y Money.
