A Little Deceiver.

It can not be called little fraud, as
it is of too great value and is not to
blame for being misused.
Vick's New Branching Aster when
cut resembles the chrysanthemum SO
closely that only experts can tell the
difference, and as it comes into flower
six weeks before the "mums," and at
a time when flowers are scarce, it is a
great temptation to the florists to sell
these asters for the "mums." The
Branching Aster can be easily grown
out of doors, and the seeds only cost
25 cents per packet, SO that every
person who has a foot of ground can
enjoy q grand treat for almost
nothing.
IL you want honest goods send 10
cents to James Vick's Sons, Rochester,
n. Y. for Floral Guide. it costs vou
nothing. as the ten cents may be de-

The first public entertainment of
the Athenaeum society of the Prepar-
atory department, took place last Fri
day evening and, Judging by the COM
ments of the large audience, it was a
decided success. The programme
consisted of readings, recitations, mu-
sic and debate. The question of
debate was " Resolved chat women
should have the right to VOTE" Daisy
Lanyon and Robert Martin took the
affirmative; Kate Hooking and William
O'DoWd the negative. Both sides
were ably handled, and showed study
of the subject discussed. All who
took part did well, and reflected great
credit upon their teacher, Mr.. Don
nelly, for his untiring efforts to arouse
the feeling of self confidence, which is
so essential to a successful scholar.

Tumbled Down an Embankment.
Boscobel Enterprise.
Ed Smith and son residing in the
in the town of Marietta, six miles
north of this city brought load
of the bolts to the stave factory last
Thursday, and in arriving at point
about three miles from home, near the
Richland creek, the wagon slipped off
the narrow roadway, team, wagon and
occupants tumbling down an icy en-
bankment ten feet high. One horse
was killed and the other injured, but
luckily no other harm was done.
Smith intended a suit for damages,
but the matter has been satisfactorily
settled, the town board giving him a
new horse and $40 and making other
just reparation. The road has been in
a dangerous condition for a long time
and other similar accidents have been
averted only by mere chance, The
town should now go to work and
widen the road as it will surely save
future trouble at very little expense.

A Railway Smash-Up.
Montfort New Era.

Montfort New Era.
A collision occurred Tuesday after
noon, Feb. q, in the c.. e. N. w. wards
at this station in which engine No. $40
was almost wholly demolished and
three car loads of lumber, billed for
Lancaster, were more or less damaged.
AS the stock train from the west came
in with but slightly slackened speed,
on nearing the switch, it found a train
of several cars, detached from the en-
gine, had been left in such a position
as to not quite clear the main track.
The discovery was made too late to
avoid the inevitable crash which fol-
lowed, though engineer Mcconnell
instantly reversed the engine and set
the brakes. : He and his his 6fq1ceHffan es-
capped certain injury by jumping from
their engine. Luckily no one was
hurt seriously. A son of engineer,
rockingham who was riding in the
cupola of the caboose, was jerked for
ward by a sudden concussion and re-
ceived slight injuries.

A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be de-
pended upon to be free from lime and
alum is a desideratum in these days
of adulterated food So far as can be
judged from the official reports, the
Royal" " seems to be the only one yet
found by chemical analyses to be en-
tirely without one or the other Of
these substances, and absolutely pure.
This, it is shown, results from the ex-
elusive use by its manufacturers of
cream Of tartar specially refined and
prepared by patent processes which
totally remove the taItrate of lime
and other impurities. The cost of
this chemically pure cream of tartar is
much greater than any other, and it is
used in no baking powder except the
Royal" the manufacturers of which
control the patents under which it is
refined.
DR.. Edward G. Love, formerly an
alytical chemist for the U. S. Govern
ment, who made the analyses for the
New Y York State Board of Health in
their investigation of baking powders,
and whose intimate knowledge of the
ingredients of all those sold in this
market enables him to speak author
itatively, says of the purity, whole
someness, and superior quality of the
Royal"
81 find the Royal Baking Powder
composed of pure and wholesome in
gradients. 1t is cream Of tartar
powder, and does not contain either
alum or phosphates, or other injurious
substance"
Prof. Loves tests, and the recent
official tests by the United States and
Canadian Governments, show the
Royal Baking Powder to be superior
to all others in strength and leavening
power. 1t is not only the most econo-
mical in use, but makes the purest,
finest favored and most wholesome
food.

and call into question some of its

ened on the same. Capt. Blackhurst

Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, at All
Souls church, Chicago, on Sunday,
gave fearless utterance to his views in
regard to the absurdity of funeral
customs. He declared that there is
nothing more barbaric surviving in
our life to-day than a conventional
funeral. He spoke of the selfshness
of grief. 1t was not gracious task to
speak of the faults born out of the
the tenderest and most profound ex-
periences of the soul. Continuing he
said.
"This life is sad enough at best.
Pain, weakness, separation and death
are our inevitable attendants, ever
near and ever ready to visit us with
fresh surprises. Shall we minimize or
maximize them? l would not
mock your tears, but let them be
benignant showers falling upon your
garden of the lily graces, the rose
loves and the apples of character.
Sorrow like love, obscures ITSELF
True grief has no use of hired mourn
ers, whether they be professional wall
ers hired to cry aloud over the dead
according to oriental custom, or the
inanimate advertisers of grief of
modern fashion. Fashion is often
tyrannical, frequently senseless, but
never more so than in these mourning
customs that require that black should
be worn for twelve months, and black
and white-not unbecoming to many
women-should graduate the sorrow
off into color and gayety. A reform
in this direction is called for. = +
Funeral customs have been happily
modified of late years, but there yet
remains the too public invasion of
private homes, the long delays, the ex-
posure. and expensiveness of the
carriage procession to the cemetery
and the sad desecration of nature
called " floral decorations" This last
abuse is so great that it seems in a
fair way of correcting itself. It in
involves a wicked waste of money for
vulgar parade"
