How was it {? We'll, Esther had cheerful, sunny temper and great deal oi tact. Then she enjoyed perfect health, and was always so sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred found his own home most pleasant, and his own wife more agreeable, than any other being. AS the year passed and he saw other women of Esther's age grow sickly, faded and querulous, he realized more and more that he had "a jewel of wife," Good health was half the secret of Esther's success She retained her vitality and good looks, be- cause she warded of feminine weaknesses and ailments by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

(New York Evening Post.) THROWING COLD AWAY,

Some days ago ten gold bars, worth $500 each, were given to an expressman at the assay office in New York to take over to the Brooklyn Watch Case company at Union street and Fourth avenue, South Brooklyn. The bars were in canvas bag. On the way over they dropped out of the wagon in the street, and lay there. until s ame Italians came along, who were on their way to the ash h-dump at the foot of Third street. They looked at the bars, had no idea they were worth anything, and kscked them about the ash-dump during bars, and thought he would take them home for his boys to play with, so he threw them in his feed-bag. When he fed his horse he took them ont and threw them on the ground, where they remained during the afternoon, while he was carting dirt ten or a dozen blocks away. When he finished work that evening, the gold bars were still there, and he again put them in his feed bag, threw the bag into the cart, and left 1t at the dumpsover night. The following day he had come to regard them as a nui- sance, and threw them out. The contractor Buckley, who employs him, came along, and, seeing tue canvas bag, looked in and took out oue of the bags. He saw upon it the stamp, .Assay Office, $500" There upon he took the bag and the ten bars home. The bars were incurred at the assay office, SO if they had never been returned the insurance company would have had to pay for them. Mir. Buckley went over to the assay office, returned the bullion, and received reward, the amount of which is not made public.

shame to our boasted civilization"
 sLook at the list of women who die in child birth, and why is it? Simply because their maternal organs have been so weakened by withstand the fearful, sudden strain that is brought to boar upon them: How many women never intended that pain or inconveniencs should attend the operation of her natural laws. The solemn and terrible fact iS, that men and women drag along, die, and are buried, and their friends and the doctors say ton, convulsions, when the cause lay fAE back of all these things. The truth is that weakened kidneys are the cause of most of our troubles. The great question, therefore, is: How shall preserve my kidneys, or, fl .aH. dia, numbers of cases and learned from unquss- tionable sources of many others, where the preparation, Hunts Remedy, has been almost renarkable in its results. Iuse it freely among my patients, and shall continue to do 20. It ie a wonderful and invaluable remedy"

NAME.
PER CENT. OF REsIDUuM- ETC

The nature of the residuum bears directly upon the question of health. That in Royal is declared by the commission to be perfectly harmless. In the case of the alum powders 1t is considered hurtful, yet the amount found in three of the cream of tartar powders-the Clevel nd, Drs Price's and Sterling averaged about the same as that in the Or stal, an alum powder: In the phosphate powders the inert matter is exceedingly large, being more than third of their entire weight.
 The importance of the information conveyed by these figures can be best understood by a simple comparison lake for instance the two first named powders-the Royal and Cleveland's. The inert matter or residuum found in Cleveland's is seen to be about in more than in the other, which is difference of 40 per cent, the Royal being purer than Cleveland's by oorrespondi figure The inert matter in Horsford's is over five times, or more than 400 per aent. greater than in the Royal The relative purity of all the brands can be computed in like manner.

 The present interest in the matter of food adulterations, and the agitation of the question of national and local legislation for the pur- pose of preventing them, have caused more than ordinary attention to be given to the re- port of the Ohio state Food Commission, which reveals the extent and character of the adul- teration found in many of the baking powders of the market. The presence of SO large a number of powders made from alum, as vas found by the commission, has not been sus- pected, nor was it supposed that some of the cream of tartar and phosphate brands, whose manufacturers have held them up to the pub- lie as pure and wholesome, had become SC dsteriorated by the use of impure ingredients in compoundlng them.
 The Ohio commission examined thirty diff. ferent kinds for their strength and impurities, and declared that powder the best-as it was of course the purest which, being of effect i've strength, contained residuum in smallest quantity. In these baking powders sold in this state the following percentages of residuum or inert matter were found:

LA Willinpton corresnondent sends the

A Wilmington correspondent sends the Willimantic Chronicle the following In the spring of 1870 we planted small field of potatoes; the ground was all prepared alike and all planted the same day. Part of the field we planted with seed that had been brought out of the cellar and left in a warm room about 3 weeks. The other part we planted with seed taken direct from the cellar, but all taken from the same bin. Those planted with seed that had been kept in a warm room came up in -a few days and were fit to hoe by the time the others were fairly out of the ground. They kept the same start and were fit to dig three weeks before the others, the tops being dead when the others were in the blow. The yield was about the same in both cases. Ihave tried every year since with the same result. It is high time they were out of the cellar, as you gain three weeks in your crop before the ground is fit to work. Others have tried it and gained the saame time.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--Mrs. Cleveland
has often been annoyed and embar-

To-day, however, she experienced n

spi.e Of the best efforts of the police.
To-day upon the termination of the
regular services, before the communion
servi rs, a large part of the cOngrega-

were quickly filled up, however, by II
