Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger to the public health from the indiscriminate use of the many lime and alum baking powders of commerce has been so fully exposed that everybody desires to avoid them. As ''forewarned is forearmsd, J housekeepers will thank us for apprisine them of the special efforts at present being made to dispose of such powders in this viz cinity.
 The proprietors of some of the worst of these powders are now going from house to house, trying by means of trick, or so- called test, with heat and water, to show that their article is as good as the Royal Ba- king Powder, making the comparison with this brand because everybody recognizes it to be absolutely pure and wholesome, the object of course being to supply their own goods in place of the Royal, which house keepers have for 50 many years relied upon to puff up the morning biscuit, and to make the light, paiatable and wholesome roll, cake and pastry for which it is famous.
 The housekeeper will do well to be on her guard against these baking powder tramps. Every intelligent person knows that any goods peddled from house to house in this manner, or that are given away in samples, or sought to be introduced by secretly tra- ducing the character of other goods we'll known to be pure and reliable, have no mer- its of their own, and have failed to find pur- chasers through legitimate means.
 We are informed, as matter of fact, that one of these tramps is trying to introduce a powder that has been found by the govern ment chemist to be 11.S5 per cent. lime, while the other peddles powder that is twenty per cent. alum-one powerful caus- tic, the other a corrosive poison.
 No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to deceive any intelligent person. The house. keeper who has used her Royal Baking Pow der ever since she discarded cream of tartar and soda, knows more about its qualities than all the trsmps in the country can teach her. The crucial test to which she has put the Royal Baking Powder-the test of actu- al and successful work in the preparation of pure and wholesome food, under which 1t has never failed-is entirely satisfactory to her. She has always had "good luck" with it in making light, sweet and delicious bread, biscuit and cake, and has placed it, to stay, at the head of her housekeeping favorites. She knows that it has been off, cially approved by the government chemists as the best and we imagine that the baking powder tramp who attempts to supplant its place in her confidence will find this a bad year for hia husiness

Hrs FArEwELL SERMON.

Rev. MT. Foster Breaches On Ammof-
 tality and she Divine Thought 01
 GOd-He Es Asked To Stay Another
 Year.
 Rev. I. M. Fosterof the St. John street M. E. church delivered his farewal sermon last night to a large congregation. He preached at some length on the divine power of God. This power gives life to, and saves those who cannot save themselves. It makes the most self f-reliant man bow to God. God is not only the God of power, but of sympa- thy and love. This gospel is the gospel of benevolence by atonement; yet there are few evidences of benevolence and self-sacri- fee, because the world is full of selhshness. The more profoundly you go in the more in- applicable do matters become. The faces of people you meet show comfort and happi- ness, yet if you could go below the heart you would find that all are battling with difficult ties, all are eating the ashes of dlsappoint. ment. Humanity is struggling, so that life is said to be battle and the world battle ground. Into this world God flashed new thought, that of selfsacrifce and atonement. This is the greatest thought we have, illus trated by the death of God. This is the power that we crave and long for. It is she word immortality that gives comfort in sor- row. Our souls cry out for immortality. Although we know but little of this thought, yet there is attached to it hope and immor- tality of the life of God. It doesn't give us life for three score years and ten, but it moves us on to eternity. Is life worth lv- ing? is asked. Yes, with the seed of immor- tality. In the conflict to come there is vic- tory and final thought.
 At the close of the sermon Rev. MT. Eos ter made only few farewell remarks. He said he had tried to preach the gospel the best he knew how. He hoped the gospel would be the foundation that all would take as the means by which all joys and triumphs are obtained. He would always carry pleas- ant remembrsnces of his present congrega- tion.
 The services were closed by singing "When shall we meet again."

He is 8 student and an in- defatigable one, but in the man lies that sympathy which is the soul of art, and which saves his lines from any hint of hack neyed repetition and makes them seem like @ spontaneous utteranee. The Boston Globe says: He never permits scene to pass de- void of moment, and every period marks the near approach of the grand climax.

Passed Away.


 The Congregationalist thus speaks of the late Rev. MT. McKinstry, who wss a class mate of the late Rev. Dr. Lavalette Perrin (of Yale corporatiop) at East Windsor, and who began their ministerial labors about the same time as neighbors, one in what is now West Torrington and the other in Goshen:
 The recent death of MT. McKinstry at Gainesville, O., removes one who filled @ long and useful career in the ministry. He was born in Chicopee, Mass, April 19, 1911, was graduated from Amherst college in 1888 and from the East Windsor Theological seminary in 1841. His first pastorate was at Torring- ton, Conn, where he remained for fifteen years. After six years service at Harwinton in the same State he removed to Richfeld, O., where he continued in active ministry until about two years ago, when failing health led him to seek home with his daugh- ter, a teacher in the seminary at Gainesville. Two sons also survive him. He was an earn est, active man, and wherever he labo1ed people became deeply attached to him.

PROFIT AND LOSS.

Notes Of Rev. NIT. SQulres, Remarks at
 she Church of the Messiah Yesterday
 Morning.
 "Pro6t and Loss" wa sthe subject of the in teresting sermon by Rev. L. H. Squires at the Church of the Messiah yesterday morn- ing. The pastors text was from Mark, viii, 36, was: "What shall it profit man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
 The sermon embodied the following: We can form some idea of what is meant by the phrase "gain the whole world" ," but there are many who evidently have no adequate con- ception of the term Close our own souls" In the new version is the translation: What will 1t profit man if he shall gain the whole world and forfeit his lifea" and with this un- derstanding we may well ask the question contained in the text.
 What shall it profit a man if becomes an other Napoleona The mighty current of destiny rolls on, and in the course of time brings another Waterloo. What shall it profit 8 man if he becomes another Garfieldi All his power and all his success did not save his life.
 The pastor quoted the saying of one who said he would rather be coward all his life than to be corpse for ten minutes" Power cannot command perpetuity of life. Riches cannot always purchase exemption from sick ness, or that one event which comes to all. People are working their lives out in order to die rich. Many of them succeed. There ars some things that are worth more than money. A good name is rather to be chosen than many riches. There are some things that are more desirable than many equipages and appropriate surroundings: He that ruleth his own heart is better than he that taketh a city.
 There are multitudes of people who meas ure their profit and loss by dollars and cents. Some grow selfish by the habit of sccumula- tion, while others grow extravsgsnt. "Coal Oil Johnny" was more of & man before he 60 suddenly acquired his fortune of $75, ,000. What seemed the smile of fortune was to him the beginning of downward career. l have no foolish censure for business pros- perity. It is @ crown of honor to be success ful in business, but 8 glorious character is worth a whole world of riches. We need more of this spirit which looks beyond the amount of our accumulations to the forma- tion of character.
 What will it matter at the last day if we have ten cents or ten millionsi-it must be left behind. There are some who have made much of this world, but have not made much of themselves. How can we answer the ques- tion, what have we done with the talents en- trusted to usl Let us lay up treasures in heaven and by so doing become nearer to God.

PuRIFIEn LIVES.
HumRn Nature Viewed From It's Lowest and Highest StandPoints- How 1t may be Refined = Lecture Last Evening by Dr. Kleeberg.

Aum&n Nakufe as Viewed Frem fxs
 Lowest and Highest SeandPoints-
 How 1t may be Refined = Lecture
 Last Evening by Dr. Kleeberg.
 Rev. Dr. L. Kleeberg delivered lecture last night at the Court street temple before large and appreeiative audience on "Human nature viewed in it's lowest and highest as- pects." He said in substance the following:
 Speaking of a mans character we often say it is "as pure as gold" But nature does not furnish us with pure gold; there is always an admixture of many other metals. Itrequires several instruments to separate the gold from the alloy. The ministry of the fire is partic-
 ularly necessary to bring forth pure gold. So it is with human character; it is the quint-
 essence of human nature purified by the fire
 of suffering. If we delight in seeing 8 lovely
 character we must first look upon the sub-
 stance from which it has been fashioned. All
 human character proceeds from human ma ture. But human is bad; it is selfish. We know paen in the state of civilization. A close observer will notice that there is no wickedness that men will not commit under certain circumstances. If we feel outraged at some heinous crime we afterward say the deed was inhuman. But the truth is the act was just human; no beast would or could nave committed a similar crime.
 But we must despair. Nature does not produce silver or golden ornaments. It re- quires the patient work of the goldsmith. So character is the result of 8 long discipline; and the clements of character are to be found in every human breast. Yet there is but one
 means by which the fine qualities of charac-
 ter can be produced--by means of sorrow or affiiction; man must pass through the fire of purifcation. This may not seem satisfactory to the fortunate ones. For my proposition involves the idea that those who never suf- fered any pain, who were exempt from aff1ic- tion, cannot expect to exhibit the highest type of manhood or womanhood.
 But here it appears that man can provide for himself what fate or nature denies him. He can court misfortune, he can invite suf- fering, and thus cultivate in himself the
 noble qualities after which he aspires. The world is surprised at the vitality which the Catholic church exhibits. Everywhere, to my mind, the secret lies in the fact that the Catholic church has always had her rigorous
 discipline for training character. Think, for
 instance, of the many young women who de-
 ny themselves the joy and blessing of home
 life so as to devote their entire time and en-
 ergy to Sod and humanity. So every sacri-
 fee we bring for the benefit of others will
 help us to acquire higher degree of human nature, which by watchfulness and applica- ton develops into human character.
