Too Good Not to Tell.

-Four of us had gone to Europe to-
gether in lSS3-Dr. McVickar, of
Philadelphia, Phillips Brooks and
Mr.. Robinson, the builder of Boston's
Trinity church. Robinson stands 6
feet 2 inches in his stockings; DIR.
McVickar measures 6 feet 1 inches :;
and Brooks exceeds 6 feet in
height. Robinson is sensitive about
his length, and suggested that in or
der to avoid comments the three tall
men avoid being seen together. Ar
irving in England, they went direct
to Leeds, where they learned that
lecturer would address the working
classes on america and Ameri-
cans" Anxious to hear what Eng
lishmen thought of the great Repub-
lie, they went to the hall. They en-
tered separately, and took seats apart.
The lecturer after some uninteresting
remarks, said that Americans were,
as rule, short, and seldom, if ever
rose to the height of five feet ten
inches. He did not know to what
cause he could attribute this fact, but
he wished he could present examples
to the audience.
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and
said: 81 am from America, in which
country my height-six feet two-is
the subject of no remark. If there be
any other American here, hope that
he will rise"
The house was in jolly humor,
Waiting until the excitement could
abate in some degree, and the lecturer
regain control of of his shattered
nerves, DR.. McVickar slowly drew
his majestic form to its full height
and exclaimed: 81 am AM
But he got no further. The audience
roared, and the lecturer said no more
on that subject.

How to Gain in Flesh.

1t is not what one eats that makes
one fat, but the food that is properly
digested and assinated that increases
the flesh. The food that lies and fer
ments in the stomach or passes I'M
digested into the viscera, does the
system much harm, as they say, it
makes man thin to carry so much
effete matter around with him. In
order that there be a full and thor
ough digestion and assimilation of
food, the stomach, the liver and the
kidneys must be kept in the finest
condition. These great organs Of life
frequently need the aid of various
herbal juices. 1t is to them what oil
is to machinery. 1t enables them to
do their work with less friction. 1t is
this friction that wears out mechanic
al machinery us well as the machin~
cry of life. Now science has discov>
cred the herbs that naturally aid the
movements of the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. They are con.
tanned in that efiicacious remedy
known as DIR. Bulls Sarsaparilla. II

Jewels of a Womans Life.
Ladies' Home Journal.

Ladies' Home Journal.
There are so many jewels that may
be worn day and night; so many
gems that are always and only your
own, that you need not grieve for
those that show their brightness only
by day. There is the jewel of Con-
sideration that you may wear just
over your heart; there is the moon
stone Of Hope, that may glitter over
your brow, filling your eyes with
brightness; there is that brilliant
stone of Sympathy, the emerald that
makes you put out your right hand
of help; and there is the beautiful one
Of loving Kindness, that makes the
left hand help the right. But above
all, overshadowing all, pinning down
you tresses, is the diamond Of true
Love-l0ve which endureth all, suf-
fereth all, hopeth all. Are not these
better than jewels dug out of the
earth? For, indeed, these jewels
come from the heaven above.

Truth.

Adhere always rigidly and unde-
viatinglg to truth; but while you eX-
press what is true, express it in a
pleasing manner. Truth is the pict-
ure; the manner is the frame that
displays it to advantage. If man
blends his angry passions with his
search after truth, become his super
Tor by suppressing yours, and attend
only to the business and force of his
reasoning. Truth, conveyed in aus
tere and acrimonious language, sell
dom has salutary effect, since we
reject the truth, because we are pref.
udiced against the mode of commun.
iration, the heart must be won before
the intellect can be informed. A
man may betray the cause of truth by
his unreasonable zeal, as he destroys
its salutary effects by the acrimOny
of his manner. Whoever would be
a successful instructor must frs
become mild and affectionate
friend.

Satisfy Yourself

The way people are questioning their
grocers about the adulteratiOn of baking
powders has stirred up that part of the
mercantile community to taking more
care in their selection of manufactured
articles. The consumers are rapidly
awakening to the fact that nearly all the
cheap brands and prize goods, as we'll as
some high priced brands advertised as
absolutely Pure" contain either alum
or ammonia. and some of them both of
these adulterants.
A simple test of the purity of baking
powder, is to mix IN tin cup two heap
ing teaspoonfuls Of Of the powder with
three teaspoonfuls of cold water, place it
over the fire, stirring it cofistantly, allow
it to boil thoroughly. or until the gas es
scapes freely; then smell; if adulterated
the ordor ammonia will be plainly per-
ceived. The presence of ammonia IN
most cases indicates that alum is used, as
nearly all the alum of commerce contains
ammonia. Pure baking powder will not
give the faintest ammoniacal ordor. Bak.
ing powder composed principally of
starch, alum and terra alba. boil into a
thick dirty paste.-New York World.
