The idea of Prof Horsford was indeed
grand one In supplantlng the indlgestible tar

of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritlve value Of

Farmers, Buy for Cash.

The following from an exchange is
as full of sense as an egg is of meat,
and should be read and pondered by
every farmer in this county: Spot cash
should be, above all others, the farmers
rule in all business transactions. No
one has better credit than the farmers; ;
no one can less afford to use it. The
credit system always means higher
prices. 1t always means an assump-
ton of a portion of the risk of other
mems carelessness or criminality. 1t
is always paying for something you did
not get, and do not want. 1t always
means insuring other men against losses
for which you are not responsible. 1t
always means interest-and always on
the wrong side of the account. In its
wake follow sleepless nights and cheer
less days. Lawyers delight in it, for
by it are their fees increased. Farmers,
you can, afford to trade on the credit
system. Turn away from it, eschew
it, cast it out from among you. Cash
reduces prices faster than cooperation
knocks out middlemen quicker than 9
grange store; makes friends instead o.
enemies; brings peace instead ofdestruc
ton; starves the sheriff; cripples the
lawyer, and is the best and cheapes
book.keeper in the world"

"Billy" Emerson has recently made
a phenomenal success in Australia,
and is rich.
Emerson was born at Belfast in
1916. He began his career with Joe
Sweeney's Ministries in Washington
in 1857. Later on he jumped into
prominence in connection with New
combs Ministries with whom he Wis
tied Germany. He visited Australia
in 1874 and on his return to America
joined Haverley's Ministries in San
Francisco at $500 a week and en-
penses. With this troupe he played
before her majesty, the queen, the
Prince of Wales, and royalty gener-
ally. After this trip he leased the
standard theatre, San Francisco,
where for three years he did the lar
gest business ever known to minstrel
sy. In April last he went to Austria

Sweet Minded Women.

So great is the influence of sweet.
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to her
that friends come in seasons of sorrows
and sickness for help and fomfort; one
soothing touch other kindly hand works
wonders in the feverish child; few
words let fall from her lips in the ear of
a sorrow.stricken sister do much to
raise the load Of grief that is bowling
its victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out with
the pressure of business, and feeling
irritable with the world in general, but
when he enters the cozy sitting room,
and sees the blaze of the bright fire,
and meets his wife's smiling face, he
succumbs in a moment to the soothing
influences which act as the balm Of
Gilead to his wounded spirits, that are
wearied with the stern realities of life.
The rough schoolboy flies into a rage
from the taunts of his companions tc
find solace in his mothers smile; the
little one, full of grief with her large
trouble, finds a haven of rest on the
mothers breast; and so one might e
on with instance after instance of the
influence that sweet.minded woman
has in the social life with which she i,
connected. Beauty is an insignificant
power when compared with hers.

A Great Government Building.

Two hundred men are busy work
ing upon the immense new granite
building devoted to the State, War
and Navy Departments, Washington.
This mammoth building within two
more years at furthest will be a fin
ished structure. 1t has already cost
about 100000, and when it is done,
its aggregate will foot up at least ten
millions and quarter. 1t is the
largest building in Washington, and
is said to be the largest granite build
ing in the world. 1t covers about
four acres and half Of ground, or an
acre more than the Capitol. Its COM
position is of immense blocks of irsn-
gray granite, weighing all the way
from quarter of ton to twenty tons
each. In the north wing of the build
ing alone there are 10000 of these big
granite blocks, and in the whole
structure the number of blocks of this
size will aggregate about $4,000. The
flooring space of this building in its
various stories will cover an area OF
about twenty acres, and the pipes
and fiues, if stretched out in one
straight line, would reach nearly forty
miles.
The building contains four wings,
north, south, east and west. The
stairs of the north wing alone cost
1913, 900, and the plastering even more
than this. Its floors cost $72, 1000, and
the granite work foots up over a mil.
lion. In this wing there are $91 ,00C
worth Of bricks, more than 100000
worth of roof, and the plumbing and
gas fitting when figured up for this
wing devoted to the War Depart.
ment equals about as many dollars as
there are soldiers in the whole United
States Army. This building is per
fectly tireproOf. 1t is made entirely
of iron and stone, with the exception
of a skin of boards which is laid owe
the stone floors of the offices for com
fort, and Of the doors themselves
The doors are of polished mahogany
but their castings are of iron, anC
there are $40 tons of iron in the cas-
ings of the window frames and doc
castings of the east wing alone.

Christian at Work.
Raymond is the name of a bright
tive-year-old youth who is noted for
his strong analytical turn of mind.
One day he had transgressed the do
nestle laws in his eXuberance of spirit
and had exhausted the patience of his
mother. "Now, Raymond" she said,
81 am going to chastise you; bring
me the slippers at once" Theyoung
man who had been put through this
form of exercise before, started to-
ward the place where the innocent
slippers were resting. Suddenly he
stopped and turning to his mother in
a plaintive sort of way, said: "Mam-
ma, why do you say slippers when
Pve only got one place to whip ?"
This was too much for the mother
and the young philosopher escaped
punishment on this occasion.
