stevens and Toombs,

Mr.. stova1 in his new life of Robert
Toombs, draws an interesting sketch
Of the strong friendship that existed
between the great Georgian and Alex.
ender H. Stephens. They were as un.
Hike as two men could be mentally
and physically. Mr.. Stephens was
delicate, sensitive and serious, while
Toombs was impetuous, overpower-
ing and defiant. Stephens was small
swarthy and fragile, while Toombs was
leonine full blooded and majestic. Yet
their regard for each other was most
shectionate, and the last public ap.
pearance of Toombs was when, bent
and weeping, he bowed his gray head

The late Cardinal Manning was q
tall, gaunt man, with a vigorous
frame and a large head that was al
most completely bald. He had a face
that bore the impress of old Roman
lrmness, and he looked like, the pic
ture of a great ,churchman Of old. He
vas a teetotaler, unlike many of his
predecessors, and ate only enough to
keep body and mind in a healthy con
dition. There was absolutely no
ostentation about him. Whenhe was
made Cardinal an influential member
Of his flock said to him: II would like
70 see your Eminence riding in some.
thing better than that shabby old
brougham." "Ah!" replied the pre-
late with a twinkle in his eye, "when
cardinals went about in fine carriages
they generally went to the devil"

CONGRESS-.
Az Last Takes Action.

~ Last lakes AOCIOus
A bill has been introduced at Wash
ington requiring all baking powders
containing alum and ammonia to be
90 labeled. This is a step in the right
direction, and has been long foresha-
dowed by the action of state legisla-
lures, boards of health, food commits
sioners, ETC., in the matter. The bill
affords needed protection to the pub
lie, for the evidence as to the injurious
effects of alum and ammonia is very
heavy; but it will nevertheless be
fought bitterly by the manufacturers
whom it effects who are accustomed
to sell their goods as "pQre Cream of
Tartar" absolutely paee," etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses a drug in his powder, the
name of which he does not want to
have printed on his label, it is prima
facie evidence that there is something
wrong. We hope the subject will be
vigorously prosecuted all over the
country, not only as regards baking
powder, but also all other food adult
erations.
The bill may incidentally benefit
the makers of pure articles, but if it
should, this is only an additional
point in its favor.

How q Nurse in a Russian Family

American Wife.
A very interesting talker is Count
Eugene de Mitciewicz, who resides with
his family in a fashionable upto wn
boarding house. The Count is very
popular among theguests, heis q good
story teller and is heard at his best
when relating tales ofRussian domest-
3 life.
''shortly after my marriage" said
10 to a circle of listeners the other
evening, II went With my wife to visit
my home in Russia. Now, you must
know that in certain parts of Russia
the lower classes know as little about
this country as they do about the
moon. Particularly was this so at
the time of which I speak.
"Our family, had at that time q
nurse in their employ who came from
somewhere east of Moscow. She had
been told that far away America was
peopled with coloredfolks, and natur-
ally when she heard that the "younp
master was returning home with an
American wife, she concluded that I
had married a colored woman.
"This nurse, among her other &C
oomplishments spoke French f1uentIy.
She was an imaginative creature and
something of a poetess. She felt that
Il would be an incumbent on her to
do something toward welcoming my
wife to u home. Accordingly she
wrote a poem in her honor.
"This poem tastefully decorated with
black ribbons, was handed to me up
on my arrival. And what do you
think was the title ofthe poem! Simply
this
"a la belle Africaine.'
"That was a staggerer, you may be
sure. Mutual explanations, however,
followed, and the nurse, during our
stay, was ever at my wife's sideready

Why Dr.. Prices Baking Powder &
Superior to all others.

No great efforts are made by other manufacturers

It is true that one other company has the facilities
bit It's greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use
ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence the Price
Baking Powder Company stands alone IN its fight for q pure
baking powder.

A New


Now when he had MIXED tho hns
ana his wife had strained the milk
into pots made of clay,
The farmer sat himself down and,
putting his hands into his pockst,
sought for q shekel.
And behold he found none.
Then he said unto his wife: "Why
is it that We have so few shekelsi
Work l not hard from early morn till
dewy ever Yet the shekels disappear
IS fast as I take them in and I
get me nonet to lay away for a rainy
day."
Then his wife answered and said
unto him: II also have been thinking
of these things lately and 1 fear me We
are not walking in the right dairy
path, in the one that leadeth to .
pocketful of shekels. Let US therefore
take some good farm papers andlearn
the uttermost of this business"
And he taketh his wife's advice and
subscribeth for a few papers.
After a few months he beginneth to
see wherein he had been making mis-.
takes.
And he sayeth to his wife "Let 10
hasten and do exactly as the papers
teach" and they FASTENED.
Then he selleth all the kline which
were poor mixers and investeth of the
shekels in u new dairy outfit, and had
enough left and to spare to purchase
several tons of good feed wherewith to
nourish the rest of the herd.
He resolveth to keep winter dairy
and breedeth his cows with that object
in view.
He maketh granular butter and
wrappeth it in parchment paper.
He selleth his butter to persons
living afar of in a. large city, and he
getteth twice as much for it as he got
in times past for his buttermilk da-
vored butter.
He raiseth the heifer calves from his
best kline which he has bred to q bull
whosenameis recorded in a herd book.
He groweth crops for soiling when
the drouth comes, and be talketh Of
building a silo.
His wife resteth and regaineth her
strength, by reason of the more con-
venient dairy machinery her husband
had bought.
His children became acquainted
with store clothes and go to school,
while his big dog churneth the but
tor.
He worketh not so many hours -
heretofore but the work he now doeth
is profitable.
Now, when he putteth his hand into
his pocket it graspeth many shek-
els.
He layeth by shekels abundantly in
q bank, that when he getteth old he
will be provided for.
His wife also employeth a servant
girl. and findeth time to grow some
flowers.
He improveth his farm ana keepeth
the house newly painted.
Yes, verify, he becometh a model
dairyman, chief among the men Of
that country, and he SO enlighteneth
his neighbors that they seeing his
prosperity, do likewise. SO the whole
land howeth with milk and fatness.-
