This Celebrated Lightning Conductor, owing to the
material of which it is made and the manner of its
construction, is the complete protection against
disaster by lightning ever invented This Is con-
clusively shown by practical test Of over twenty
four years, during which time 1t has been n con-
slant use, being erected upon many thousands of
private and public buildings in all sections Of the
country and although there have fallen upon it, IL
numerous Instances, most terrific discharges Of

them harmlessly to the earth, thus saving many
lives, and property Of almost incalculable value.

that where all the necessary rules pro-
lection is perfect.
At the present day no one Will deny the necessity
and duty resting upon to vaccinate children,
and thus protect them from the fearful ravages OF
small pox in fact, can there be found in any COM
muntty an Intelligent man who will not acknowledge
an imperative duty resting upon every one to not
only use means, but the very best means of protec
ton to them and theirs against all dangers arising
from any source whatever. few dollars 1udicious-
ly expended in lightning rods will securely protect
all the buildings that almost any possesses
II life property is sacrificed in consequence of
neglecting such protection, can we hold ourselves
blameess, will not the dead cry out Of the ground
against us2 Will not the living censure us for op-
portunities neglected. The feeling alone that
has done all in his power to make his family and
property safe from the destructive effects of light
mig Is worth far more than the cost Of all the
lightning rods necessary to such protection.

Nice Place For a Hired Man.
[From the Detroit Free Press.I

II want hired man. Pm willing to Some farmers want man to work all day and all night, but that ain't me. I have never asked one to git out of bed before o'clock-never. I allus give my man three quarters of an hour at noon, unless the hogs git out, or cattle break in, or 8 shower is coming up. After man has worked right along for nineshours his system wants at least half an hour to brace up ip. They don't quit work on some farms till o'clock, but I'm no such slave driver. At half past I tell my man to knock of. All he has to do after that is to feed the stock, cut little wood, now some grass for the horses, milk four COWS, fill up the water trough, start 8 smudge in the smoke-house and pull few weeds in the garden. I never had hired man who didn't grow fat on my work, and they alIus left me feeling that they hadn't half earned their wages" He stopped long enough to wipe tear from his eye and then went on "And now look at the hired man of to-day! He wears white shirts and collars. lie won't eat with knife. He wants nap- kins when he eats, and if we don't hang up clean towel once a week he wipes on his handkerchief Call him at three and he gets up at six. He wants a whole hour at noon, and after supper he trots off to singing school or sits down to 8 newspaper. Fifteen years ago if my hired man was sick for half a day could dock him. If he died could take out 8 months wages for the trouble. He was glad to get store orders for his pay, and he would wash in the rain-barrel and wipe on the clothes line. There's bin 8 change, sir an awful change, and if 8 reaction don't set in pretty soon you will witness the downfall of agriculture in this country"

If, then, we accept Dr. Love's standard of commercial value, these two powders are both worth 50 cents, with the additional advantage of purity, or freedom from ammonia, on the part of " Hscker's Perfect Baking Powder"
 We feel called upon, in justice to ourselves and the public to give the above facts, as the article denominated Kitchen Economy" was published apparently as disinterested infor- nation, intended for the public good, where as in fact it was an advertisement of the Roy al Baking Powder Company.

PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.
To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by pr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the "Roya1'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government conn missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.
