A Perfect Baking Powder. The cotisian! growing demand for Dr. Price's Cream Baking iWntr, the standard cream tartar powder for forty years, is duo to two causes. ' . FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu facturers to make it pen'ectly pure, uniform in quality, and of highest raising power. ; SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain , ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum. These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out, and the consumers are giving them a wide birth. Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists are employed to test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence; its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS the CHEAPEST. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been ques tioned. 1 ' KNOCKED OUT. Bow a Irrepressible, Kflvrvseoent, Pray ing Fiend Wu Bliut lip. When the Her, Jamea Archer took charge of the Loue Zion ouurch he found the oou gregatlun thereof in a moat demoralized condition. His prodeoessnr, after making some lioroic attempt to head off the strayed theep, had thrown up the sponge and re tired in disgust. "Causes depart, but effects remain, murmured the Rev. James as he sur veyed the ghastly array of empty benches to which he hall preached his opsniug ser mon. Unfortunately It was the cause as well as the etfeut that remained in Lone Zion, as he very enou found out, said Bangs, who pursued the calling of a usurer during the week, bratenly duniaudlng 8 per cent, month on all money advanced, but when Sunday came prestol what a channel Dunning his religion with his Sab bath clothes he proceeded to occupy the - front pew in church, till carried away by an excess of terror be would advance to the chancel rail and fairly bombard heaven with prayers. As the Lord was expected to do all the giving, Brother Bangs gener- 'ously requested favors not only for the members of the oongregatioa, but for all Jews, pagans, intidels and the sinful world at large. In a word, he prayed both for the favorites and the lleld. Such wns tbestute of affairs when the Rev. Mr. Archer devoted an entire week to parochial visiting, and with tears in his eyes implored the recreant worshipers to return. "No, sir, no," waa the invariable reply; "as long as you let that lollow Bangs ait up there in the front pew aud ruu the praying we ain't going to come bock. The Idea," continued the sootters tuuignantiy, "the cheek to lead to prayer aud ask fa vor for hnnmit. fnlk. fin Anil hush Banna up and then we'll see about coming back." Bangs, however, refused to be hushed up. Despite the minister's entreaties and ex postulations he continued to practice usury and religion with the same fervor aud sue . cess. . , One night during the week a prayer meeting was in order. Much to the Rev, James' surprise quite a number of the dis gruntled memliert attended the services. During the opeuing hymn a oitisen, at tracted by the music, strayed in and sub sided quietly in a rear pew, where he amused himself staring stupidly around. Never had Brother Bangs been more im pressive in his aniens, more fervid in his singing, more plaiutive in his prayers than upon this special evening. Finally in a state of spiritual efferves cence he rushed out of his pew, caught hold of the chancel rail, and soared heaven ward on the wings ,of prayer. Sighs, groans and exultant whoops lent dignity and impressiveness to bis exhortation. "Oh Lord I" he pleaded, "we pray thee to grant us all good thlngswe pray thee to lift up our hearts and give ns a Higher in. terestln heaven" "What I" yelled the horrified man In the hack pew.

Not only did each son in marrying settle handsome amount on his wife, bat when the late William II. Vanderbilt died he made a large and specified provision tor each daughter, grand-daughter and daughter-in-law. Among the latter the largest amount went to Mrs. Frederick w. V an derbilt, who waa his favorite, and among the former Mrs. beward Webb, who was his youngest daughter, received the moat aenerous aum.. To none eveu or the grand daughters was less than $100,6X10 given, and in some cases ten times that much. Even the wee little women, like tiny Frederika Vanderbilt Webb and little Oladya Vanderbilt, the youngest daughter of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, have their stated allowances, small of course, but a sense of responsibility Is given the little folks, and they are allowed to follow their own baby judgments and desires as to spending. Upon each one of the ohlldren is impressed the necessity of giving a part of their money each month tu onarity, ana very funny little stories are current among friends of the family as to their selections of their beneficiaries.

It Is true economy for every person to have several pairs of shoes, and to wear them alternately. In the nrst place, by so doing, corns and other soreness of the members may be to a considerable degree avoided. These come from continuous friction or pressure at a certain pout, and aa no two pairs of shoes "bear" on ths feet quite alike, the chauge breaks up the continuity aud obviates or prevents the unpleasant result, it is also better for the shoes themselves. Do not wear them, in ordinary weather, if the best service is desired, more than three or tour days or a week at most, be- give a second thought.
