Pay the Price of the
Royal for Royal only
Royal Baking Powder is shown by actuaT
chemical tests absolutely pure and 27 per cent
greater in strength than any other brand.
Many second-class brands of baking powder
are urged upon consumers at the price of the
high-cost, first-class Royal.
These powders, because of the inferior quality
of their ingredients, cost much less than the
Royal, besides being of 27 per cent, less strength.
If they are forced upon you, see that you are
charged a correspondingly lower price for them.

Said the com to the lilies,

‘ You sie only idlers—
I Neither com nor wheat,

Jast being sweet?”
Naught answered thellillea—
Neither yea nor nay;
Only they grew sweeter
All the livelong day.
And at last the teacher
Chanced to come that way.
While his tired disciples
Rested at his feet,
And the proud corn rustled,
Bidding them to eat,

"The life is more than meat.
Consider the lilies,
How beautiful they grow!
Never king bad such glory;
Yet no toil they know.” •—f

NOItMAL SCHOOLS.
In “ye olden tim^” it was believed
that no special preparation was neces
sary for a teacher, that a knowledge of
subjects which sufficed to make a good
citizen was sufficient to make a good
teacher. During this time education
was at a low ebb. The masses wer-
c ntented to have their children learn
a little reading, writing and arithmetic,
and so far as girls were concerned any
knowledge of the higher branches was
esteemed downri/ht superfluous. With
such instruction given at school is i f
surprising that teaching was not class
ed among the professions? But thanks
t > the pr- gress of civilization this is an
age of specialties.
Teaching has become an art and is
now studied as such, and the demand is
for experts in teaching as well as in
music and painting. Hence the need
of N >rmal Schools. Tracing the idea
from its beginning, as conceived by
Elisha Tichnor in 17S0, to the founding
of the New York College for the train
ing of teachers, we And such progress
aud development as only an enterprise
worthy of man’s best efforts could ever
have attained With these Training
Schools our teachers will become skilled
and useful, men and women adorniog
the profession they have chosen; with
out them they will surely degenerate
nj:d “our free schools will become pau
per schools and our pauper schools will
p oduce pauper souls ” Horace Mann,
who has been a pioneer in this work tells
us that “coiled up in this institution, a ;
in a spring, there is a vigor whose un
coiling may whirl the spheres.” Let
I lien every f ather and mother who are
in'erestid in the mental training of
their children, every youth and maiden
who honestly desire their own advance

Everything now seems to favor the
work. The n^xt Legislatuie will rep
resent the bone and sinew of our peo

mar ds, and muscle sufficient to wield
the birch. The difference in the ap
pearance of the pupils then, and now
is as striking as the difference of the
books each studied. On ent ring a
school-room in by-gone days, the dis
tressing spectacle would be presented of
several high b >ncbes filled with chil
dren whose feet dangled some seven or
eight inches from the floor, while they
studied their A, B, C’a aloud with a
bumming sound which seemed to a lis
tener as if a iitye c! bees were in the
apartment.
In another part of the room would be
ranged a la ge class in spelling, stand
ing with their hands behind them,
■•pelling in a sing-song manner b-a ba,
k-e-r ker, from a Blue Back Speller,
xhile each one swayed to and fro, as if
hey aimed at getting in a position as
far from a correct one as possible. We
speak of this state of things as being
past, but slat! there still exist many
schools, particularly in the oountry, on
just suohaplan.
The Normal Schools are fighting
against the old ra.thodsof teaching and
introducing new ones—starting a sys
tem which is not only more instructive
than the old ones, but gives positive
pleasure to the child.
The method of teaching primary
arithmetic in these schools is very per
fect indeed. Every combination of
each nnmber is thoroughly illustrated
and taught before proceeding further
fbe map-drawing and Kindergarten
work are also highly interesting, while
the Language study is made a most
charmi-g lesson on animals or insects.
Altogether the Normal School is
plendid institution, which should be
established in the Snith as well as in
the North, and surely as well in the Em
pire State as in any other.

What a convenient little scape-goat
is the printers deviis! The editor goes

Religious Department.
A Frenchman once, when compli
mented on a skillful eye operation, ex
claimed, “But, Mou Dieu, I have put
out three hundred learning how.” Ap
plying this to the incompetent teacher,
just think of the many, many little
eings, who if tney had been taught
wi 1: might have turned out geniuses.
Not one out of twenty of our teachers
of today learn their trade Ik fore prac
ticing it. Yet, we all acknowledge
that “as the twig is bent, the treeV
inclined,” then surely before under
taking such a responsibility we should
first learn how to bend it.
This, then, fs the great work of the
Normal Schools, to teach us how to
le ich. These schools arc wielding an
influence for good by ennobling and ele
vating this great pjofession.
But even so good an institution can
do harm if exaggerated.
There is a possibility that too much
stress may be laid on the rules and
process of teaching.
An illustration of this possibility is
given in this incident related by a lady
of wide educational < xperience. One
day seeing a little fellow very much
troubled over a problem she asked him
what it was; he read her the following:
“If John has two red apples, and
Charles has two, how many red apples
have they both together?”
“Is that hard!” she said.
“Very hard,” be satd, sadly.
“But, surely,” she replied, “you know
already that two and two make four;
there can be no trouble about that?”
“Of course not,” was the pathetic re
sponse. “Of course I know that well
enough. But the process!—it’s the
process that wears me out.”
This excess is rspidly being done
away with, and the cry is now for
young, progressive teachers, and a
“good time is ooming” when teachers
will impart more of the substance of
Intellectual training to tbir pupils,
with less of the “process.”

DRIFTING—WHITHER?
A friend hands us a copy of a publics
tion called “The Sanitary Era,” which
contains readable au d thoughtful matter.
In a vigorous but not too severe man
ner, some of the sins and follies of the
day are deal with, in which the writer
showes “that the rush and roar of the
rapids under us are unmistakble.” The
brutality of the prize-fighter receives at
tention, an 1 after snowing that a year ago
prize-fighting was resisted in the South
west by the wh le power of several states
and the ciiminals engaged therein brought
to justice, with general applause, that now
such brutal exhibitions go on with the in
direct applause of great and conservative
journals, and that public opinion is so de.
based as to hardly utter a piotest. From this
the Writer pioceeds to speak of other eviis
in the land—not forgetting to show that
innocent spoits like base-ball and kindred
games have so far degenerated in some lo
calities, that iustead of being healthy ath
letic diversions, they have become a craze
and are scenes of gambling dissipations.
From this the decadence of the .high
moral standard which characterized the
stage a few years since is adverted to, and
it is Bhown that there are now greater in
decencies than the famous “Black Crook”
glaringly aod dtfiintly flruuled in the face
of the public, with scarcely a murmur of
opposition. Other glariog public deeds
aud scandals are rt ferre i to, showing that
the country is drifting towards the rapids
Below we give the closing paragraph of
the article:
It is easy to cry “pooh” and “pessimism,”
but not easy to rail these facts ofl the're
cord. It will be nautral for some to point
out that our sudden brutalities are but the
chronic pastimes of the mother country,
and that our progress in indie -ncy bears
no comparson to that of Paris. But these
comparisons halt like the legs of the lame;
they are not equal. R lies of past ages ot
barbarism, lingering iu a civilization, ate
of no significance in comparson with the
volnntaiy jump into like abominations of a
young nation founded in purity and free
from hereditary complications with vice.
Otheis wilt point to the wonderful statis
tics of onr churches, Christian Endeavor
Societies,temperance and benevolent work,
etc. All this shows an opposition party
and a conflict, to be sure. But what does
the rushing demoralization we have sketch
ed testily as to the way the battle is going?
No man can foretell what latent reactive
forces or what providential visitations may
be yet in store to diveit onr corn Be in a
more salatary direction; but there is small
c imfort for a practical mind in guessing
such posibilitiee, while the actual signs ol
the times unite to declaie that nothing less
than a Divine interposition of unpreced
ented spiritual power csd save this Angus'
tan age of materialism irom a like end
with its great aud only prototype.
BE CARRIES TEEM UP THE HILL.”
The other day some children were lean -
ing the Twenty-third Psam.and we weie
talking about the Good Shepherd, and
how he takes care of the sheep and the
little lambs; and impetuous Mary, eager to
speak her < ne thought, said lapidly,
"He feeds them, aud drives away the li
ons end bears.”
“Yis,” said Tiny thoughtfully; “and he
carries them up the hill.”
“He carries them up the liilll”
The words went to my heart with a
strength and a sweetness the little speak
er bad not dreamed of. Often, often
since, their music hss thrilled through my
tired soul like an echo of the angels’ sung.

THE POWER OF HABIT.
A physical habit is like a tree that has
grown crooned. You cannot go to the or
chard and take bold of a tree that has
grown thus, and straighten it, aod say,
“Now keep straight!” aud have it obey
you. What can you do? You can drive
down a stake, a id bind it to the tree,
bending it back a little, and scarifying the
baik on one side. And if, after that, you
bend it back a little mote every m >ntb,
keeping it taut through the season, and
from season to season,at last you will suc
ceed in making it permanently straight.
You can straighten it, but you cannot do
itimmediatty; you must take one or two
years for it.—Sel.

WHAT IS CONSECRATION?
The first condition of consecration must
always be, entire readiness to accept God’s
will for onr l.fe. It is not enough to be
willing to do Christian woik. Tnere art
many people who are quite ready to do
certain things in the service of Christ, who
are not ready to do anything he might
want them to do. M*ny of us have out
little pet projects in Christian work, our
pleasant pastimes of service for onr Mas
ter, things we l-ke to do. Into these we
enter with enthusiasm, and we suppose we
are thoroughly consecrated to Christ’s
work because we are willing to do these
thinga|
But the heart of consecration is not de
votion to this or that kind of service for
Christ; it is devotion to the Divioe will. It
it readiness to do, not what we want to do
in Christ’s service, but what he gives us
to do. When we reach this state of spirit,
we shall not need to wait long to filud our
work.
The next condition of consecration, re
sulting from this, is the holding of our life
directly and always at the disposal of
Christ Not only must we be willing to do
His will, whatever H is, but we must do it,
This is the practical part. The momeot
Christ wants us for any service we must
drop everything and respond to His call.
Our little plans must be made always un-
det His iys, as fitting into, and as parts of.
His petftci plan for our life. We
must make our arrangements and engage
ments with the consciousness that the
Master may have other use or work for ns,
and at His bidding we must give up our
plansfor His.—Westminister Teacher.

A Prominent Ksnian Lends the Crows!
-< Against the Home of His Wife.
Atchison, Oct. 22.—About 10 o’clock
at night ten masked men attacked the
home of Mrs. Harry C. Walcott, iu tho
western part of this city, and assaulted
F. M. Fowler, a proininet young law
yer, her attorney, who was calling there.
Fowler drew a revolver, but before he
could use it the men overpowered him
and carried him into the yard, shouting,
“Hang him to an electric light pole.”
Fowler, being a powerful man, succeed
ed in freeing his right arm and prompt
ly knocked two of the men down. The
neighbors began to congregate and the
rest of the mob fled. One of them cut
Fowler on the hand with a knife as he
ran away.
Mrs. Walcott tore the masks from the
faces of two of the men and recognized
her husband, against whom she had a
snit for divorce, and William Lutz.
Walcott is at the head of a tin roof
manufacturing establishment.
He admitted that he led the men, but
said that it was for the purpose of en
tering evidence of his wife’s infidelity
rather than injuring Fowler. Mrs.
Walcott and-Fowler deny that their con
duct had been improper. Fowler says
he went to the house to give Mrs. Wal
cott a check for alimony recently al
lowed by the district court and given to
him for that purpose by Walcott. The
check has been produced.
Mr. and Mrs. Walcott were married
five years ago, but separated last July.
Both have always borne good reutations.
The affair has created a sensation, and
it is feared that there will be some
shooting before it is settled, as it is
claimed some of Fowler’s personal
enemies were in the mob. Mrs. Walcott
refuses to prosecute.

fore J ustice Evans at that hour. When
all was in readiness for the trial a re
port came that Wood had made his es
cape from the bailiff and was out and
gone. A reporter, to find out the facts
hunted up the Sheriff and he informed

but that he wanted to go out home to
get np some papers that would be bene
ficial to him in bis trial before the Jus
tice and that he put him in charge of
Bailiff Hamilton with directions to go
with him and bring him back to jail
Wood went all right and served his

turning home he wanted to get out and
get % drink of water or a p ut of wine,
which the bailiff did not object to. He
got out at a store on the suburbs and
went back to the water pail in the rear
of the store, opened the backdoor, leap
ed out and left and has not been 6een
since. The case at the Justice court

Politicians are In a Dilemma About Its
Working in Texas.
Waco, Tex., Oct. 22.—Under the law
passed by the last legislature the cities
of Galveston, Houston, Sanr Antonio,
Aimtin, Dallas, Waco. Fort Worth and
Denison will vote nnder the Australian
ballot system next month. The law is
vague and indefinite as to the form of
the ticket. Attorney General Cnlber-
son has given an opinion holding that a
candidate’s name can appear but once
upon the entire Sheet. The Republican
party, in its convention held at Fort
Worth, indonsed George Clark, one of
the two Democratic candidates for state
officers on that ticket, bnt has presented
a full list'of presidential electors, con
gressmen and local candidates in many
sections. The opinion of the attorney
general is arousing much interest and
discussion throughout the state. TV
Republicans and Clark Democrats cla -
t^ie right to have Clark’s name not only
on the Clark Democratic ticket, but on
the Republican ticket likewise. The
question is causing considerable excite
ment, it being claimed that the opinion
of the attorney general is meant to in
jure Clark with the Republicans.

New York, Oct. 22.—The Cnnard

desire to visit the United States without
intending to remain. Until further no
tice no alien can be carried westward
whose purpose it is to reside in the
United States. Citizens, residents and
tourists holding prepaid tickets from
British, Irish, Scandinavian and Finnish
points wall be promptly forwarded, but
not from any other European points.
East bound tickets must not be issued
for Hamburg, Bremen, Paris, Oden-
burg or Stettin, but can be for points in
Great Britain, Ireland, to Amsterdam
Rotterdam, Havre and Antwerp.
Indians Looking for Storms.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Oct. 22.—Indi
ans throughout the Canadian northwest
are in a high state of excitement. They
declare that two new born infants on
Sorcee Reserve, near the line of the Ca
nadian Pacific railway, had spoken .and
predicted that a terrible storm would
sweep the country in a very short time,
and destroy the trees, houses and every
thing in its course.
This absurd story has been taken
throughout the entire country by Indian
runners, and the Indians are alarmed to
snch a degree that they are now all en
gaged in digging storm homes. Neither
white settlers nor missionaries can per
suade the redskins that their fears are
absurd.

A Kentucky Policeman Dropped iVid,
Harrodsburg, Oct. 22.—Officer p ?an
heard a pistol shot in the Whitechapel
quarters, and, repairing to the scene
discovered that C. J. Hall, who hiuj
been playing the one-armed racket on
the denizens of Mollie Markham’s honw
of ill-fame, had accidentally droop
pistol from his pocket and shot himself
through the hand. The officer arrested
Hall, and before incarcerating him took
him to Dr. Wileys office to have hu
wound dressed. While this was bei R2
done Dean fell on the office steps and re
marked that he could not get his breath
and fell over and expired. The death
of the officer is attributed to the fact
that he ran several blocks with the
wounded man in order to get him to the
physician an quickly as possible, as the
wound was bleeding profusely, and
heart failure resulted. Dean came here
from Lexington and had no family.
