Your Little Girl"

She was always a frail little body,
with waxen skin and great blue veins
shining through like tracings on a map.
Silken-tressed and brown-eyed she
grew into my heart and life, till it
seemed as if a separation were impossi-
BILE. Looking back can see the sweet
face with the intellectual soul in it's
eyes. Full of poetic thought and fancy
the sweet child life flowed and ebbed.
With apparent supernatural foresight
the brown eyes seemed to look above
and beyond: to catch the glimmer and
reflect the splendors of something
brighter and better. Nature had dealt
kindly with my baby girl. In form and
feature she was as perfect as q flower.
She never grew strong and vigorous
like other little ones. She chung to me

will I grow big, papa?" asks my
little girl as she nestles closely to my
breast and turns her sweet brown eyes
questioningly to mine.
Il hope so, some day, baby" I re-
ply.
Il never want to grow big. I always
want to be just your little girl"
why don't you want to grow big like
other girls?" ask.
Because 1 always want you to carry
me in your arms. If was great big
girl you couldn't could you?"
You will never be too big for me to
carry. But when you get older you
won't care to be carried. You'll want
to run and play like other children"

Mrs. X. is one of those by no means
rare mortals whose discipline is much
dependent upon her mood, while her
mood in turn is much influenced by her
bodily comfort. 1t follows that the
small daughter Katie is treated with
more or less sternness, according to
circumstances, fact which she is quite
shrewd enough to appreciate. One day
recently Mrs. Y. was reproving Katie
in rather fretful tones, when the child
looked up from her seat on the floor to
observe with the preternatural gravity
of 3 years:

81 PER CENT DIFFERENCE.

Tests Showing the Strongest and Most
Economical Baking Powder.
Some valuable tests have been made by the
government chemists as to the practical
strength and usefulness of baking powders.
Efforts are continuously made to introduce
inferior baking powders, the statements be-
ing published that they are as pure. or as
strong as the Royal" Such powders are
sold to consumers at the same price as the
pure Royal but being deficient in strength,
are more expensive in use, besides making
inferior or unwholesome food. These low
class powders are frequently exposed by the
public analysts. Publications have recently
been made by the Price Baking Powder Co.,
the obvious purpose of which was to rid them
selves OF the exposure of the lnferiority or
low test of the baking powder which they
manufactured.
The tests by the government chemists and
also by Prof. Chandler, Of the New York Board
of Health, revealed the fact that Prices pow
der contained twenty-seven per cent. less
strength than the Royal"
When compared in money value, this differ
ence would be as follows:
One pound can Royal Baking Bowder worth
fifty cents;
Ono pound can PrlceS worth thlrty-SlX
cents.
The public are indebted to the Royal Bak
ing Powder Company for the fight they have
been making for years past to break up the
practice of substituting alum. phospha tes,
lime, ETC., as cheap substitutes for cream tar.

baking powders, and it is hoped that the ''stor
thief cry will not prevent that company
from continuing the exposure OF all who are
engaged in the nefarious business of palming
upon the public cheap Or injurious baking
powders at the same price at which pure
and wholesome article is sold.
The Royal Baking Powder has the commen
dation of the most noted chemists in the
country for it's purity and freedom from ever!
substance of an injurious nature. Its manu-
facturers will receive the support of all con
sumers for the fearlessness of their crusade

The first copper coinage in England
was under Charles II, 1872. Henry

duced l.24th part of its weight.

Pure gold is "a carats fine. The

In Scotland, previous to 1895, 20
shillings made one pound of silver,
and one pound of liver was used to
make the 20 shillings. In 1901 100
shillings were coined out of the same
quantity.
Facts similar to those already stated,
efficient to make a goodsized volume,
now lie before me. They prove that

to their current value, then when
governments took the matter in hand
they passed at tho value stamped on
the face regardless of the value of

The deduction is, that law has
much more to do with money than we
have thought.
We may succeed in tracing the
causes of debasement of coins and pa:
per, and we may be able to show that
contraction and dsbssement produces
the same results, epriches those who
have it in charge at the expense of the
