Ifyou want the best food, You viii be interested
IN the following facts, which show why Royal"
Is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal-its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream Of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t Is absolutely pure and wholesome.
It II combined from the most approved
and healthfhl ingredients.
It makes the finest favored, most tender.
delicious and wholesome food.
II has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and Il therefore
the cheapest.
It never loses its strength, but win keep
used.
1t acts slowly I'm the dough, 20 that none
of its strength II host before the baking IS
completed.
It makes food that win keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure m0erials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and COM

senate wing of the capitol, announcing
the fact that o yea and nay vote is be-
ing taken"
Capt. Eassett informed me that during
the past sixty-one years he has been alb
sent only thirty days when the senate
was in session; and twenty of those days
have been on account of sickness during
the past Eve years II grievcs him to
think that he must succumb to the in
cxorablc laws of nature, and he says:
"Whcn sickness has kept me indoors, in
spite of all of my endeavors to he cheer
full. I am simply miserable. You can
not understand how feel. After six
ty-one years of service. the idea that
the senate is in session and ! am not
there seems awful can picture to my
mind the vacant chair, and OF course ]
feel confident that nobody can perform
my duties satisfactorily" This is q
touch of human nature.
Capt. Bassett has numerous tokens Of
the regard of the distinguished men
whom he has served for these many
years: but above them all he prizes his
''oflicial present" rs it is appropriately
termed. On the fifticth anniversary OF
his appointment as n page, he was pre-
scented a gold and silver snuff box, upon
the lid of which is the following inscrip-
ton: Each member Of the United
States senate has joined in presenting
this testimonial to Isaac Bassett on the
completion Of The fifticth year of his
services as an officer of that body in
recognition of his personal worth and
official fidelity. December 5, 1881"
Capt. Bassett has q private nook in
the senate wing of the capitol, which
few people ever sec and fewer still have
ever heard of. 1t is near the room of
the senate committee on the library
and would be q very dark little den but
for the gaslight. In that cubby hole is
q lot of historical and antique articles,
each of which has volume Of reminis-
ccnces clustering about it. lie has all
the snuff boxes there which have been
used by senators. You know that there
used to be snuff boxes in the inches on
each side of the vice presidents chair,
and, as they were replaced by new ones.
Capt. Bassctt kept the old ones and la
belcd them. Snuff boxes used to be Us
necessary rs water pitchers are nova
days, for almost everybody used snuff.
He also has a piece of the cane which
Preston Brooks broke over the head of
Senator Sumner. But what else he
has I cannot describe, for I do not
know. lie is keeping all Of these
things for description in the book
which he will some day publish about
his official life. SMITH d. Frs.

Women In the PuIpit.

There seems to be no objection what
ever to woman taking control of Sunday
schools, benevolent institutions, church
fairs, festivals and all other means of
caring for the focks and filling the eccle-
siastical exchequer, but when it comes
to women in the pulpit there is trouble
at once. This is only another of the rel
les of barbarism.
In old times if the church could get
control of the women and little children
they felt pretty sure of their ability to
manage the rest of the human family.
Half century ago a woman doctor
was scarcely recognized in reputable cir
cles, and woman lecturer was mon
strosity. Contrasting that date with the
present and taking note of the change
in sentiment from one decade to another
it is scarcely too much to expect that by
another 80 years we shall see a most
wonderful revolution in matters of this
sort. 1t is safe to pred: t that before the
end of the first decade # the next CEN
tury the woman preacher will be no
more of a novelty than the woman doc
tor now is. Woman is specially fitted
for such work, and even were she not so
it would be only the strictest kind Of
justice to give her some of the honor as
well as most of the hard work of the
church. When once it dawns fully upon
the minds of the people of this genera
ton that there is no sex in intellect or
moral achievement, the first and most
difficult part of this knotty problem will
have been solved.
By all means open the pulpit doors to
women as well as those of the Sunday
school room, the hospital and the execu-
tive committee.-NewY York Ledger.

Harrison Reed, a modest young farm
er residing near Kokomo, Ind, started
to Delphi Tuesday, expecting to be mar
ried that evening to young lady of that
place. While at Logansport, where he
had to change cars, the county sheriff
called on him to serve as a juror in an
embezzlement case about to be tried.
The rural young man protested, but the
officer would accept no excuse, and Reed
was held there four days.
On his release he continued his jour
ney, and when he arrived at Delphi he
found the family in a high state of in
dignation, the expectant bride refusing
to see him and ordering him off the
premises.
Reed was compelled to return home
without his bride and now threatens a
damage suit against the court officials
for OBTAINING him.-Cor. San Francisco
