DEAR LITTLE HANDS.

Dear little hands, loved them so. And now they are lying under the snow Under the snow so cold and white cannot see them or touch them tonight. They are quiet and still at last, nh me How busy and restless they used to be! But now they can never reach up through the
 snow, Dear little hands, Iloyed them so. Dear little hands, miss them so All through the dark, wherever go, All through the night, how lonely it seems, Her little hands wake me not out of my dreams, I miss them all through my busy hours: I miss them as others miss sunshine and flow
 .f. CTS
 Day-tim or nighttime, wherever go. Dear little hands, I miss them so. Dear little hands, they have gone from me
 now,
 Never again wi l they rest on my brow Never again smooth nay sorrowfrll face, Never clasp me in childish embrace And now my forehead grows wrinkled with
 care,
 Thinking of little hands once resting there, And know in happier, heavenler cline, Dear little hands, will clasp you sometime Dear little hands, when the Master shall call When my feet touch the waters so dark an6
 so cold,
 And catch my first glimpse of the City o If keep my eyes fixed on the heavenly gate Over the tide where the white robed ones wait Shall I know you, I wonder, among the bright bands!
 Will you beckon me over, O hear little hands

MY PROPERTY.

Aunt Fanny had just come to make her usual summer visit and I had proudly taken her through the house to have her admire the improvements made since her last visit
 "It IS all nice and convenient, dear, , she said, as she seated herself in an easy chair offered her. "but did you never re- gret giving those bonds to your husband. May ?"
 s'NIost assuredly not, auntie. Why ?' Because I thought it very unwise and that some day you would bitterly regret it. It was your fathers property and should have been retained in your own name, am sure.
 "Now, don't worry, a1lntie, please. You came to have pleasant visit with us. FL la has been nearly frantic with delight since told her you were coming"
 'eThe child, yes. She is dear little thing, 10 be sure But do you know that if your husband should die to-day she would inherit the property you gave him. If she were your own child it would be different.
 "Rut she is mine, all I have, certainly. 1 love her dearly, and hope to he good mother to her, notwithstanding all the bit. ter things written and said against step- nlothers.'
 'Yes, and you are # good mother to her. But to suppose still farther. If she, too, should be taken away, then youl property would not revert to you, but SC to her relatives, of whom you know noth. , ing, would that be right?'
 Perhaps not. But why do you say these dreadful things? She and her fath CT are as likely to live as I. And wife is entitled to her dover.
 ''Yes, the interest from one third o what her husband leaves. Just the inter est, mind you. And you gave him the means to go iato business You know ht failed once, alsi may, possibly, again.
 "But he paid mp every penny I flashed back, proudly. s#
 T know, and it was right; but conse quently you married poor man with { child as well as wife to support on , clerks salary"
 "You forget, auntie, that he still hai this beautiful home when all his ceeditors had been fully paid; the home in whicl Ella was born and where his poor wifi. died cSgeEs E
 ''I forget nothing! and what remem Der with the greatest bitterness is vou1 unadvised aet of yielding up your little patrimony, intrustod to me by your dying father for you, and that you took no ob ligation for it whatever.
 "But," replied, he invested it in business which supports ns nicely. Be sides, it was not his fault. He wanted m. to have interest bearing notes, or to be th' company in the business, as if I would and told him never to mention the sub iect to me again, and lie never has,
 "Then all have to say is you were yer, lilly as well as imprudent.
 But it was not all she had to say, evel to tell me that certain match making mother had said that my husband would have preferred one of her daughters if sh, had held property in her own right as did. That he needed the money and mar ried me simply to obtain it.

"No, like it just as it-i-"
 ''I must write to Aunt Fanny, to night, ; said more to myself tan him.
 He indulged Ill low whistle. I had unwittingly betrayed myself, and compro- missed with full confession, even to the grieyons report that he had only married me for my little fortune.
 "Did you believe that?' he asked, gravely.
 1T tried hard not to believe it, but just now I seem to myself such perfect type of total depravity that I wonder you took me under any circumstances.

Kelst's Hill.

Extensive repairs and improvements have
been made at the Seminary during the summer
and fall. In Sampson Hall, the dining-room
has been entirely remodeled. The form of
the room has been greatly improved. The
floor has been laid anew in hard wood and a
new ceiling added. The old long tables have
been abolished and new ones, which accomo-
date ten persons EACH procured These, with
new finish, new table ware. and hanging
lamps, make the room very attractive. The
chapel of Sampson Hall has been re arranged
for the Commercial College. Convenient
desks for the use of students have been in
troduced, and new states, similar to those
which are so much admired in Bearse Hall,
one being put in for chalk and crayOn work.
In the natural science department, also, i'm
portaut changes have been made. The en-
tire furniture of the old laboratory has been
removed and the room has been fitted up
with 10 desks with drawers and shelves for
students work in Chemistry. Provision has
also been made for the practical work of
classes in Botany, Geology and Physics.
Through the liberslity of the citizens of the
village, new set of neurological instruments
has been secured. This embraces q standard
mercurial barometer and q pair of standard
tneTHOntters, MI Vi Tue Slkh"i cet'iSe Pnt
tern These have been tested at Washing
ton and found to vary but little from the
Mother Office Standard. There is also a
maximum and minimum thermometer and
a rain guage. The instruments are used in
connection with the instruction of the Sem
mary, and for voluntary observation in aid
of the work of the Signal Service and New
England Neurological Society. To the teach
ing force of the previous year, have been
added Prof VIM. A. Barton. formerly of the
Dirigo Business College, and two assistants,
for the work of the commercial department.
The attendance during the fall term has been
good. The Commercial College is especially
prosperous, the number of students in At
tendance exceeding the expectation of its
most sanguine friends.

Under the direction of the New York State
Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds
of baking powders, embracing ali the brands
that could be found for sale 10 the State were
submitted to examination and analysis by
Prof. c. f. Chandler. member of the State
Board and President of the New York City
Board Of Health, assisted by Prof. Edward
u Love. the well-known late United States
Government chemist.
The official report shows that large num-
Der OF the powders examined were found to
contain alum or lime; many of them to such
an extent as TO render them seriously objec-
tionable for use in the preparation of human
food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders to
cheaper their cost The presence OF lime is
attributed TO the impure cream of tartar of
commerce used in their manufacture Such
cream of tartar was also analyzed, and found
to contain lime and other impurities; in some
samples to the extent Of SO per cent. of their
entire weight
All the baking powders of the market, with
the single exception of Royal mot includ-
ing the alum and phosphate powders, which
were long since discarded as unsafe or ineffi-
Gent by prudent house-keepers) are made
from the impure cream of tartar of COM
merce. and consequently contain lime to
corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the Royal"
This perfect purity results from the exclusive
use of cream of tartar specially refined and
prepared oy patent processes of \ Y. Tartar
Co., which totally remove the tartrate of
lime and other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account of
this greater cost is used in no baking powder
but the Royal"

baking powders for the New York State

Powder which purchased in the open mar

not contain either alum OF phosphates or any
injurious substances.

the Kennebec was a rough one and on arriv-

up. She arrived in Gardiner at an early hour
in the forenoon, and turned about on her re-
turn trip in the afternoon.
