Mrs Thomas Keane-nee Bridget
 O'Herr.

Cover her up, there's naught left But a poor tenement of clay; The fire of her life burnt out And left an ashen gray, But ere fall the clods, a last look At the face and form of the dead, Only a lowly born woman,- But a nobler never was bred. Smooth to the touch are the clusters Of her wayy nut-brown hair And her lips and mouth and forehead Are, oh, exceeding fair, In the halfclosed tender gray eyes, In the smiling, placid face, There turks the sweet serenity Of the old-time winsome grace. Rut hear the tale the closed lips Keep locked in her heart away, Under the crossed white hands, Folded, as if to pray: s.Shc tried to do her whole duty As daughter. mother and wife And only succumbed to the conQueror Who holds dominion over life"
  Maternity Is the choicest blessing. The crown of woman's desire. But tho love we bear for our children on needs refining by fire. And God, who so loved his children. Is ever a jealous God. Who rudely shatters our idols, As we bow before the rod.

Baking Powders.
The Latest Official Tests as to their Relative
 Purity.

Purity.
 The present interest in the matter of food adulterations and the agitation of the question of national and local legis- latiop for the purpose of preventing them have caused more than ordinary attention to be given to the report of the Ohio State Food Commission, which reveals the extent and character of the adulter- ation found in many of the baking pow ders of the market. The presence of so large number of powders made from alum, as was found by the commission, has not been suspected, nor was it sup posed that some of the cream of tartar and phosphate brands, whose manufac- turers have held them up to the public as pure and wholesome, had become so de teriorated by the use of impure ingredi- ents in compromising them.
 1 The Ohio commission examined 30 diff ferent kinds for their strength and i'm purities, and declared that powder the i best-as it was of course the purest- which, being of effective strength, con- tained residuum in smallest quantity. In these baking powders sold in this State the following percentages of residuum or l inert matter were found:

The nature of the residuum bears di- rectly upon the question of health. That in Royal is declared by the Commission to be perfectly harmless. In the case of the alum powders it is considered hurt ful, yet the amount found in three of the cream of tartar powdcrs-the Cleveland, Dr Prices and Sterling-ayeraged about the same as that in the Crystal, an alum powder. In the phosphate powders. the inert matter Is exceedingly large, being more than tl.ird of their entire weight.
 The importance of the information con veyed by these figures can he hest un- derstood by simple comparison. Take 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 3 in moro than in the other, which is difference of 10 per cent, the Royal being purer than Cleve- lands by corresponding figure. The
 inert matter ia Horsfordss is over five l times, or more than 400 per cent. .greate,

To open the campaign with any hopes
OF speedy success, attack the enemy,
malaria, before it has a chance to en-
trench. An obstinate foe twill prove if
you don't go right at it. II you are
prudent. too, you will have fortified,
upon the first intination of its presence
in your neighborhood. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the medicinal am
munition that you require. Every form
of malarial fever yields to this fine pre-
ventive and remedy. For constipation
liver complaint, dyspepsia, nervous
ness and kidney trouble it is no less eff

feebled, should in every instance resort
to this signal invigorant. Use it for
weak nerves.
