A Gentle Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is
most useful in overcoming torpidity of
these organs. Besides infusing more ac-
tivity into them, this excellent tonic
endows them with additional vigOr, and
enables them the better to undergo the
wear and tear of the discharging function
imposed upon them by nature. More
over, as they are the channel for the es-
cape of certain impurities from the blood
increases their usefulness by strengthen
ing and beautifully stimulating them. In
certain morbid conditions of these impor-
tant organs, they fall into sluggish
state, (Which is the usual precursor OF
disease. What then can be of greater
service than medicine which impcls
them to greater activity when siothtul
No maladies are more perilous than those
which affect the kidneys, and a medimce
which averts the peril should be hihgty
esteemed.

Undisputed Merit.

The success of the Royal Baking Pow
der, is due to the extreme care exercised
by its manufacturers to make it entirely
pure, uniform in quality, and of the high
est leavening power. All the scientific
knowledge, care and skill, attained by
twenty years practical experience are con-
maceutical preparation can be dispensed
with a greater accuracy, precision and ex-
actness. Every article used is absolutely
pure. A number of chemists are employ
ed to test the strength of each ingredient,
so that its exact power and effect in com
bination with its ingredients, is def
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed III the
preparation of the material used or the
manufacture of the powder, who is not an
expert in his particular branch of the
business. As consequence, the Royal
Baking Powder is of the highest grade of
excellence, always pure, wholesome
and uniform in quality. Each box is ex-
actly like evey other, and will retain its
power and produce the same and the
highest leavening effect in any climate,
at any time. The Government Chemists,
after having analysed all the principal
brands in the market in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at the
head of the list for strength, purity, and
whelesomenesS, aid thousand OF tests all
over the country have futher demon
strated the fact that its qualities are, in
every respect, unrivaled,

The New School Law as 1t Relates
to Separate Town Districts.

The following correspondence explains
itself aud will be of interest TO most of
our local readers:
BRouKHAvEN, Sept. II, 1886
Prof. J. r. Preston, state supt. Education,
Jackson, Miss.
DEAR SIR--Please give me the correct
construction of Sec. ~ of the Public
School Law approved the 18th of last
March. 1t is held here by some that if
the town council of town of $50 or more
inhabitants elect to make their town
separate school district, they are thus
placed under legal obligation to levy
corporation tax, over and above the usual
State School tax, sufficient to run the
public schools 3 months extra, or Z
months in all; while others hold that tho
council of a town of the size designated,
may create their town into separate
school district, but levy 10 extra tax, and
continue the schools for only the constitu
tional term of 4 months.
Also oblige by giving your construction
of the law as to the appointment of trus-
tees and the organization of schools in
towns constituting separate school dis
tricts. Section SO of the new law says a
Board of Trustees shall consist of "three
persons, tro of whom shall be resident
patrons of the school" When there are
both white and black children in town
constituting u separate school district, is
it permissible under the provisions of the
law for all of the trustees to be of the
same color If so it would appear that
all of the children--both white and black
must be considered as belonging to the
same school district otherwise the two
trustees cannot be considered pdtrOns)-
and if so, must be under the control of the
same Principal, though the colors are
taught apart.
Please answer at your earliest con
venleuce. Respectfully,
B. T. HOBBS.

THE DAY SHE DIED,

/ All ~ she left it within her room;
Her footstool here where she used il
last;
Her chair drawn near to the plants in
bloom.
The time of flowers will soon be past.
Her little bed with its pillows white,
Smooth rs her own hands touched it
that day;
Her bed in the earth it is harder tonight
Than this that she left when she went
away.
Here is her workbox and white as milk,
Her velvet cushion laid 10y its side,
And n needle threaded with purple silk,
Just as she left it the day she died.
On the sofa there lies the dress she wore,
Dainty the sheer, soft muslin thing,
1t suited her tender face of yOre
Because of it's tints like the flowers Of
spring.
A crumpled glove on her dressing case,
The print of her fingers within it yet,
Aud about it lingering vague trace
OF mingled violet and mignonette.
A ribbon dropped on tie carpet near;
BY her own soft fingers its knot was
tied;
No one has dared to enter here
Since the sudden, sorrowful day she
died.
There ON the table her open book,
The blot of a tear that seems scarcely
dried
The story perhaps has sadder look
Because she read it the day she died.
There ner drawing but half complete:
Aud open yonder the song she tried;
In the Other Land will she sing it as
sweet,
As she sung it here on the day she died ?
And here, all me on her writing case,
Her open ink and her paper spread,
With few last words which her hand did
trace.
Through the blots of my tears they can
scarce be read.
A letter it is and commenced to me,
Commenced to me on the day she died ::
"When Lore grows deathless, ri marry
thee"
In Paradise will gain my BRIDE

DEAR SIR-Towns becoming separate

schools. In such cases the town cOnsti-
tutes but one district, the schools for the
races being taught apart, but considered
as one school. One set of trustees act for
all, and are elected by the Mayor and
Aldermen, who in conjunction with the
trustees fix salaries, time of running the
schools, etc. The schools are under the
same general management, the principal
directing the operations of both.
