When an article has been
sold for p years, and its sales
have increased each year in,
spite of competition and cheap
limitations, it must have supe-
rior quality and absolute uni
formity and purity. Dobbins'
Electric Soap has been con-
stantly made and sold since
1860, more each year. Can
the sale of an inferior article
constantly increase for %
years? This soap is to-day
as ever, the best, the purest,
family soap made. 1t contains
no adulteration of any kind.
and is intrinsically the cheap
est soap made because it will

1.-THE KIND THAT CURES

If royaltWsets the fashion in Spain, as
it does in most countries where monarchy
prevails, the Spanish peop e will be likely
to call fol large quantities of our corn.
Mr.. J. {. Murphy, our Indian-corn
apostle, induced the proprietor of the
Arlington Hotel in Washington to put
corn mullins on his bill of fare, and to
have them prepared, as it were, to suit the
queens taste. The princess infanta was
very much pleased with the dish, which
was new to her, and when she went to
Chicago she wanted more corn mullins.

Holding up Milk.

Cows holding up their milk is caused by
letting the calf suck, says an exchange
The calf draws the milk from one teat at a
time, and slowl, at that. A COW, as all
mixers know, will let her milk down all
at once soon after beginning to milk; hay
ing it drawn slowly, they soon get in the
habit of holding i, mp. AT any rate, !
have always noticed that the COWS that
had nursed calves for one season were the
ones to hold W their milk. Never let a
COW intended for the dairy raise her calf

A COW that gives milk which changes to
butter without churning is rare thing.
Lawson f. Brown of Rozier, Georgia,
says he has one. When the milk is
strained off after milking, the crerm which
rises on it is very thick, changes, or rath-
er hardens, into the consistency Of butter,
and is used as butter without gong
through the process of churning.-Way

THOU SHALT WORSHIP GOD.
Sermon by President Andrews at FRIEND
ship stLeet Baptist church.


The Rev. 4. BENZ Andrews preached
at the Friendship Street Baptist church
last right from the text, Thou shalt
worship the Lord Thy God, ana him only
shalt thou serve"
This text is the essence of truth, to
serve and worship God. 1t Is no small
demand that the Lord makes of Us. 1t is
customary In this financial age to ,meas-
ure "a demand by the money value it in.-
poses, but the Injunction laid up
on man IN this text far
transcends any earthly stipulations
lie demands surrender of ourselves to
himself. lie demands our hearts and
his demand is only just. We owe our
hearts and our whole life to him. We
cannot divine the justness Of this demand
ny attributing IL to the dictatorship
of God. What we make is our own
What God makes is Gods own. Such a
supposition is not up to the level OF di-
vine Great orship. His works canno5 be
recogn'zs sd by tde mere act Of worship
and personal surrender.
Some theologians say we must worship
God BECAUSE ne is Almighty. 1t is true
tnat IL God were not omnipotent we
could not orship him. But might does
not make right. Many men would wor-
ship the devil were he more powerful
than God.
The primal reason why we should wor-
ship God IS Jhat he is the best OF all be-
lngs lie IS morally tie greatest in the
uniyerse. He Is good. Oaly by worship
ping him can We live Alright. We cannot
UNI our higher destiny unless we
worship God.

In nice running order. The McNalley

The Democratic party has learned by
long experience that there has Leen only
one way TO win In this city, anu tnat is
by pacifying the respectable element
beaded by McNally. Last weeks cleo
tion showed that McNally was only
partly pacified.
