Presbyterian Womens Missionary Society.

The meeting of the Women's Mis-
sionary Society of the Presbyterian
Church last week Wednesday and
Thursday was very interesting one.
A large number of delegates were in
attendance. The opening services
were held on Wednesday evening.
This society met again on Thurs
day morning in the Presbyterian
church and spent half hour in de-
votional services under the direction
of Mrs. VIM. Neal. The correspond
ing secretary gave a report of the work
accomplished during the year, and
was followed by a report of the treas.
urer, Mrs. Stuart Mitchell. This
showed the money contributed by the
different auxiliaries in the congrega-
ton amounted to $2255.6I. 1t is
with pleasure we note that OF this
$36I.o1 came from societies connect
ed with the church in Bloomsburg. In
addition to this a box of articles va
lued at $40 was sent to mission
school supported by this society In
New Mexico On account OF the nm
avoidable absence of Mrs. Mitchell,
the treasurer's report was read by her
daughter, Miss Rene. Mrs. Lundy. OF
Williamsport, delegate to the Syn
odical society, which met in Harris
burg, gave an account of the proceed
ings of that body, which was listened
to with much interest.
Attention was called to beautiful
collection of chrysanthemums which
was sent with Christian greetings by
Mrs. Boyd, of Harrisburg, and their
appreciation expressed by a vote OF
thanks to the donor.
After partaking Of lunch, viii ch
was furnished by the ladies OF the
Lutheran church, and an hour spent
in free social intercourse, the ladies
again came together for the transact
ion of business. They listened to an
interesting account of the work OF
Miss Cathcart of Scotia Seminary for
colored girls in South Carolina, gwen
by her mother, Mrs, Hughes OF India
LA. This was followed by some earn
est words in regard to their work and
responsibilities from Mrs. Grier, OF

November is the dread of insurance
men on account of the frequency of
fires that mark that month. The
reasons for their frequency are well
known. The increased cold compels
the building of new fires and the
strengthening of Old ones to warm
homes and buildings, and this new tax
upon furnaces, tlues and CRATES is too
rarely attended with an examination
to discover defects. Then again the
strong winds of November are ready
to spread local fire until 1t becomes
general conhagration. A little more
care in building fires and in examining
fire apparatuses would permit a large
share of the waste which annually
makes the month of November SO
disastrous.

THANKSGIVING Day.

In their determined revolt from the
corrupt, licentious and tyrannical rule
of the Stuarts, and from state church,
the Puritans were unable TO separate
the practices of their enemies from
their principals. The Cavalier danced
around the May pole and made Christ
mas a season of prolonged feasting and
jolity. The Cavalier was monarchist
and prelatist. abhorred by the chosen
people. Therefore May-poles and
Christmas feasts were denominations.
But though the Puritan adhered to his
standards with stern fanaticism, he
could not altogether keep down his
human nature. So he invented
Thanksgiving Day." giving it semi
religious character. The practical
result was to give sanction once more
to innocent and hearty amusement.
The best thing about THANKSGIVING is,
that it is day of homecoming. "

THE BAKING POWDERS.
A Series of Tests by the Chemists of
State Boards Of Health.

Baking powders, when made from
pure and proper materials, are import
ant factors in the preparation of whole
some food. But if made from alum.
phosphates, or from the adulterated
cream of tartar of the market, they
are the prolific cause of dyspepsia and
kindred alimentary diseases. The
difference between the cost of making
a pure and wholesome powder and one
composed of inferior and unwholesome
materials is perhaps ten times the ac-
tusl cost of the cheaper one. This
causes the country to be flooded with
hundreds of inferior brands that con-
tain alum, albumen, lime, potash, sui.
phuric acid and poisonous gums, whose
use in food is detrimental, and to point
out which, that they may be avoided
by consumers, is the aim of the health
authorities.
Some recent reports by State Chem.
lists aud Boards of Health give valua-
information upon this subject Not
long ago Mr.. Thorn, State Dairy and
Food Commissioner of Wisconsin, pub
lished the names of a large number of
baking powders which the State Chem
list, Prof. Short, had analysed, showing
their ingredients and strength. The
result of the tests showed the Royal of
the purest and highest quality.
Prof. Floyd Davis, Chemist to the
State Board of Health of Iowa, has
completed similar examination. His
report, after giving the names and
relative strength and composition of
of the different powders, says: The
result shows that the Royal has the
highest leavening power of any pow
der examined, and is composed of pure
and wholesome ingredients well mixed
and of character perfectly proper for
use. No other powder gave results so
satisfactory.
Prof. q. Nv. Drew, Chemist to the
Minnesota State Food and Dairy Com
mission, says that the Royal" being
of greater strength than any other,
and possessing better keeping quail
ties, it is the natural conclusion that
it is the best baking powder made.
These are very great compliments
for the Royal Baking Powder, for the
authorities are the highest in their
respective states and unimpeachable.
Manufacturers who give the public an
article of so high character are, how
ever, entitled to all the benefit which
the publication of the facts can give.

Good Citizens.

Self preservation is the first law of
nature and the first law of liberty.
One may have i'll early youth the am
bition to be one day good husband
and father but he has first to prepare
himself, by becoming good citizen.
lie has to choose an occupation and to
study, not only for business, but to
know what his country requires OF Its
citizens, and, being himself part of
the government, study, not only obedi-
ence which Ruskin, considered the
main element OF good citizenship, but,
also, the highest criticism, which shall
enable him to seek the higher standards
of national requirements. In short, to
he a good husband and father, he must
be of robust vitality, of well balanced
intellect and endowed with spirituality
i. e., an appreciation of the needs and
possibilities of the soul. These include
all the graces of morals and manners,
of temper and taste, of courtesy and
candor.
Whatever poet or preacher may say,
to he a good husband and father is not
all of life. 1t is not an occupation, a
pursuit, calling rather, when we view
the eternity in the past and future, an
incident, an episode. a part of the per-
fecting of nature for other fields of
usefulness an aid to good citizenship.
To be good wife and mother SINH
lar training is required; one must be
noble woman, distinct and real per-
sonality, good citizen first; and till
the way be made clear for women to do
their rightful share of the work of the
state and nation, both men and women
should be good suffragists. Be informs
ed. be vigilant, be active, reforms
never run themselves, every advance
we have made has been through some
ones toll. Don't believe idle stories
rejecting on the wisdom of suffragists
such as the fable that Wyoming taxes
bachelors and that 1.-THE suffragists
have nominated Victoria Woodruff
for president. Remember also that
money is potent factor everywhere
and that no great good is attained
without scrifee.
A good suffragists, if man, will
not say, THAT women will vote when
they all want to-" or if woman Il do
not believe in it as mnch as my husband
does for that would be shame to
woman and forgotten of her. The sta
bility of the nation is preserved by its
good citizens; of what avail are J.
lions of good citizens with their hands
tied election day!

NEW EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA.
A Party Going to Complete the Study of
Lake Albert Edward.

An exploring party is about to under
take very interesting mission in Gen.
trail Africa. The Due Dues will lead
the party, and will be accompanied by
four white comrades and fifty Sengalese
soldiers. They are to be taken up the
Congo river as far as Stanley Falls on
one of the steamers of the free state
At Stanley Falls they expect to hire
from Tippu lib and his nephew, Rochid,
two hundred and fifty porters, and then
they viii plunge into the great forest
east of Stanley Falls, with the inten-
ton of making their way to Lake Al
bert Edward.
Their route will lie a good way south
of Stanley's route when he suffered so
many hardships in the same great for
est, on his way to Albert Nyanza. I'm
doubtedly the party will find tribes of
natives that have never been heard of be-
fore. Tie most interesting part of their
work. however, will be in the basin
where Lake Albert Edward gathers the
streams that are among the headwaters
of the Nile. This lake is as yet known
only on its north and east sides. STAN
lev solved the question which so long
puzzled geographers, as to whether the
lake flowed into Albert Nyanza and
was therefore Nile tributary, or
whether its waters fed the Congo. He
found that the Semlil1i river carries the
waters Of the lake into Albert Nyanza
and the Nile, and along the east bank
of this little river he discovered the
wonderful snow-clad mountain range
Of which the now famous Ruwenzori is
the browning feature.
1t is not known as yet, however, how
large Lake Albert Edward really is, and
this will be one OF the questions for the
present exploring party to settle. They
also expect to make a thorough study
of the photography Of this region, so it
may be known how far south and west
the basin of the Nile extends. 1t is
probable that the great forest hides in
its gloomy depths more than one of the
sources of the Nile. In geographical
sense the work which this expedition is
to undertake is one Of the most interest
ing enterprises which yet await the ex-
plorers of Africa
