BITTER BREAD

the use OF all impure baking powders and rs
caused either by their containing alum lin
troduced to make cheap article), by the
impure and adulteratad character Of other
ingredients used, or from the ignorance of
their manufacturers of the proper methods
of combining them. These baking powders
leave In the bread o residuum formed of
lime, earth. alum, or other deieterIous mat
tiers, not always, though frequently, tastable
in the food, and by all phi ysicians classed as
injurious to health. The Royal Baking Pow

use no residuum is left. and the loaf raised
by 1t is always sweet, light, and wholesome,
and noticeably free from the peculiar taste
complained of. The reason of this is be-
cause 1t is composed Of nothing but abso-

Nicolay and Colonel John Hay. Two pre-
faces, one editorial and the other by the
writers, give ample account of the work, and
call attention to exceptional opportunities
which these gentlemen have had to pre-
pare what is certain to be the fullest and
most authoritative work on the subject. It's
authors Were, in q sense, the chosen biogra-
pliers of Lincoln, by whose aid they were re-
enforced ia the collection of material during
the war. From an historical point of view
the value of the work-largely resting on
documentary evidence not attainable by
other writers-must be ranked high. In
fact. the inner history OF the war waits upon
this work. The first part is concerned with
the Lincoln family as pioneers, 1ncludin
their relations with Boone in Kent ucky, and
their subsequent life in In diana and Illinois
down to the Black Hawk War, aud picture
of the society and surroundings of young
Lincoln, Involving concise history of the
Western states of that day. On tae picto-
rial side there is frontispiece portrait of
Lincoln in 1860, from remarkable fine and
unhackneyed photograph, a portrait of
Boone from Lully's painting from life, and
the traditions of the Lincoln homes and To-
calities are carefully gathered up pictorially

Life Insurance.

There are times when the serious
necessity for life insurance pre-
sents itself to the soberminded most
forcibly. 1t is haven to seek, and
to- be well insured is surely silver
lining to the darkest cloud. The
vast system of modern life insurance
marks an epoch in the progress of
civilization, than which no other
factor seems more important. 1t is
and should be the pride of every man
to make his life valuable, especially
to those who are dependent upon
him. 1t shonld be equally his pride
to make such provisions while liv-
ing that the money value of that life
shall not be lost at his death. Every
man who has family has acquired
a value on his life it never had be-
fore. and it becomes his duty to give
some guaranty or make some pro-
vision to protect society from loss in
able to carry a sufficient amount of
insurance ON his life to cover this
value but it is his duty to carry as
much of it as his circumstances will
permit. Nearly every man whe has
a family desires in life and death to
give his family support and aid.
But there is class of men who re-.
alize that they should insure their
lives. but make excuses to defer an
avoid what they feel to be their duty.
1t is hard to argue with people who
refuse to let action walt upon con.
viction. Their own intelligence and
their own consclenees are at con-
tinual war with death and selfish
ness. Such people should loose no
time in obeying the dictates of their
guagment. and their true self
interest.

HORRIBLE DISASTER.

Limited train No. s., which left
Chicago, Wednesday night of last
week, ran into an open switch at
Rio. fifteen miles east Of Portage,
Wis, at about 1915 A. NJ. The train
was posed of mail and baggage
car, one day coach and three sleepers,
all of which except the rear car left
the track and went into a sandbank.
A fire Immediately broke out in the
wreck, consuming everything except
the rear sleeper. All the persons in
the day coach were killed or con-
sumed in the flames except one man
and two children named Scherer of
Winona, whose mother and grand
mother we're burned under most dis
tressing circumstances. Twenty per-
sons were killed. No one in the
sleepers was injured. A passenger
who was in a sleeper gives the fol-
lowing account of the disaster:

Groans and shrieks came from the
interior, but we were powerless to
lend a hand in saving the unfortu-

relinquish our hold upon her and she
