BAKING POWDER
Has Broken the Record.

DR.. Bennett F. Davenport the State Analyst Of
Massachusetts, at the request of the "New Eng
land Grocer" analysed the three leading Baking
Powders now on the market-The Royal. Cleye-
lands and THEPURE.
In spite of the trumpeted claims of the two for
mer, 1t was found that THEPURE was ahead In
all qualities that make Baking Powder valuable.
With regard to strength and keeping qualities,
THEPURE was found to be the strongest, yielding
1888 per cent. more leavening gas than the Royal,
and 1852 per cent. more than Cleveland's," and
window and re.tested at intervals Of one, two and
three weeks, they were found to still rank In the
same order. At the last test, however, THEPURE
was 1889 per cent. stronger than the Royal and
292 per cent. stronger than Cleveland's.

Her Heart BeSieged.

Two young men were waiting ON
Miss Maggie Duncan, a pretty 49,
year-old orphan girl, who lived with
her grandmother, Mrs. Smith, three
miles south of Greenfield. The girl
favored Mr.. Asa Mckinley, while her
uncles and aunts favored the suit of
Mr.. John Curry. Miss Duncan and
her choice had made arrangements,
to be married: but the fact becoming
known, plans were laid to Illustrate
their intentions.
Miss Duncan was invited to the
house of her aunt, Mrs. Joshua Bar
rett, and soon afterward another un-
Gle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Archey, with their favored sutton,
John Curry, made their appearance.
The company then undertook to per.
suade Miss Maggie to marry Curry.
Believing that their pleas would be-
successful, they had obtained the
services of the Rev. D. A. Evans, of
the M. E. church of this city, who
came prepared to tie the knot.
Young Mckinley appeared on tho
scene at this time and pleaded ear
nestly with the girl to stand by him.
He had paper, which he wished her
to sign, swearing eternal fealty to
him, but, while 50 promising, she was
unable to sigh the paper because
young Curry threw a buggy rope.
around her and held her arms down.
Mckinley, relying on her faithfulness
left, and the work on the faithful girl
began. The preacher, in the mean
while, retired, but, unable to with
stand the persuasion of SO many,
Mis- Duncan, at O'Clock in the morn
ing, finally consented to wed Curry.
The license was soon obtained from
the county clerk, who was aroused
from his peaceful slumbers. and at
the breaking of the day Maggie Dun
can became Mrs. John Curry.-ID.

County Official Paper.
A North Carolina Problem.

It appears that North Carolina in
addition to pitch, tar, turpentine and
resin, produces a pretty girl OCCASION
ally. at least that seems to be the
opinion of two young men of Guilford
county in that State. The hand aud
heart of this pine forest nymph were
sought by these rival suitors, and she
graciously, generously and, no doubt,
atfectionately, promised rot only these
portions of herself, but her whole
anatomy to each Of them. One OF
the young men went TO the Office of
the Register last Friday TO procure a
marriage license for himself and the
young lady. He was informed by the
official that his rival whose engage
ment to the young lady antedated
that Of the applicant for the license,
had filed a caveat TO prevent tt o issue
OF license until the courts had de
cided the question of title TO the lady.
This is new question in law and
one which has probably never been
decided by the courts, as ordinarily
the suitors try other methods of
determining who shall have the prize,
if they are too foolish to let the lady
take her choice.
