Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Over the Tea Cups at Lucy Cobb. Here the girls come down the steps like so many horses, nearly running Miss M. crazy.! One may always be sure that the din* ing room is their destination when they make that much noise, for school girls arc noted all over the world for being constitutionally hungry. “Miss H. says we may speak English tonight,” said Carrie P., who never was known to speak a word of English at the table until the girls had been ex cused. “We finished our Science today,” announced Bessie M. “and we d'gnified Seniors can discuss all questions of right and wrong at full length now.” “That is,” added Kuth S., if the Ju niors know enough to discuss anything with us.” “Oh! yes; we know enough outside of Science to keep you talking all night,” replied Pattie J. “We can start with New York, the metropolis of our country,” responded Rebecca W. “You know there is a scheme on foot now for the building of ship canal from the Delaware river to the Raritan bay. In case of a blockade of New York Harber the United States warships could still reach the city through this water-way.” “That is all very well,” respouded Susie H., “but I prefer riding on the elevated railway when I have any travelling to do.” ‘That reminds me,” said Myrtle Y., “how many of you are going to the ex position at Chicago next summer?” “Ob, I do wish that I could go,” re sponded Ellen H., scornfully, “I have heard so much of the different buildings already being erected for it. I am very anxious to see the city itself, too.” “I read not long ago where they were thinking of makings water route from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river,” Bald Lena F., who generally spent most of her time in the library. “Then we can go to the exposition that way, and have the pleasure of going up the Mississippi river.” “0\ girls, do hush talking about the Mississippi river, and let me tell you about the letter I got today,” said M mie B., “Papa says ht N^Jyjgy--younger brother, a I just know that he has lots of fun going horse-back riding on him.” During the laugh which followed this rem irk Mamie remained utterly un conscious that she had said anything iss. ‘Tslking of going to Chicago.—Do of you know when Mns M. will start for Europe this year? I am just wild to go with her!” exclaimed Callie ohool room of the Lucy L'obb, Mrs. Lipscomb’s clas3 in Shakespeare will give a little entertiinment in the way of debate. The question under consid eration, which arose from the analysis of the play of J ulius Cm .ar, is “Wheth er Brutus was a patriot or traitor.” It will be warmly discussed by Misses Allene Walker, Ruth Sanders, Myrtle Yow, Mamie Bussey, Lula Slaton and Ellen Hillyer. Mr. Princs Hodgson will decide the all important question on the merits of the arguments ad vanced. To complete the programme for the evening Miss Katherine Tift will give one or two selections from the play and Mrs. Lipscomb will read an essay on the character of Mark Antony. The class being so large the invitations will neoessarily be limited. The Schub'rt Club under the direc tion of Miss Tyler gave another of their delightful entertainments on Friday last. The evening was devoted to Men- deissohn, and was opened by a short biographioal sketch of the composes by Miss Hattie Schwab, which was foliow- by an essay on the character of his compositions by Mis3 Crowell Manly. Misses Edna Pope and Pearl Jackson reflected great credit on themselves as well as on their instrumental teacher, Mis3 Moore, by the manner in in which they interpreted two of Mendels=ohn’s most difficult selections. The Vocal Duett by Misses Tift and Jackson and the Solo by Miss May Rounsaville elic ited great applause from the rest of the club, and as this was the first appear ance of these young aspirants before the club they were greatly gratified by their reception. Miss Tyler’s Organ Solo’ 1st move ment of 5th Sonata, was most enthusi- as'ically received. She ceitainly touch es this instrument with a master band. In answer to repeated encores she play ed first Annie Laurie and then Auli Lang Syne, melodies that oan never die, but will live as long as friendship and love will live. The evening closed by a chorus sung by the class which left bright impressions on all who were present. q. l. & F. MAMMA'S LITTLE HElPER.

She would just take a look at it anyway. Down went the bonnet with a sigh, and Miily seized the great red bag from tte chair-post, and dmgged it away in b hind tbe sofa and sat down. She pluged her hand into its snarly depths. “Xah!

Miily began very patiently, but it was almost no time before she was .tempted hang the bog back on the chair and go on with that dear little bonuet. She threw Ann Amelia under tbe table to get her out of sight, and boxed Bdly’s ears so hard that he ran away with Tom, who went to help break roads.

MARY BLAIR Died Saturday. Afternoon at 20 Min utes fast One O’clock. Mrs. Mary Blair, wife of Mr. Tbos. Blair, died at her heme at Princeton factory yesterday afternoon. She had been in feeble health for several months and her d°ath was not unexpected. She was ab ur. C2 years of age, and leaves an aged and i fflicted busoand, a son and daughtir and several grand-children and numerous relatives and friends to mourn her death. Mrs. Blair bad been a member of the Metbodht church for many years— professing relig’oa and uniting with tfce church in early life. She lived a cor r Bistent and useful Christian, was a kind and obligirg neighbor and an affec tionate wife and mother, and her death is a source of sadness and grief to a lirge circle of friends fouatc!r»t C ' ty ’? n< l wewil1 «5?tbemto rh pu “»tiem,burn^toothache^andcuta’' you at cost. Jackson and Burke Co, We *ro never wifthputit” c ° ■ J fassssssst It is not wise to tty to cast shadows actoss life’s pathway. J.»y and sorrow both have their blessings. Tho sorrows of life exercise a wholesome influence upon its j )ya. The possibity of j>y should prove a restraint upon that which is uo- re&sjnabld sod unwholaome in sorrow. R.-al sanctfying sorrow does not find its truest ex press'>n in heavily-veiled faces, nor in dark, gloomy houses. A good and faithful servant ot the Lord, who in loving service, had walked iu the light for many years, made this request, in bis last days: After my death and burial I do not wish my family lo mourn my loss, nor keep the house closed, but throw wide the ehutters and let “God’s sunshine iu.” There is a refining influence in sorrow which, if fre. lv yielded to, will lead to a truer acd nobler Joy. Instead of a mor bid brooding over out’s ills, the heart will go out towards others in a loving minis try. And yet too many fail in this. It is' true that, * “Some may all the better see, For paia, and blight, and fears; But O, how many eyes there be, Cannot see God for tears.” Let God’s sunshine in, for it is selfish to keep it out. Such a spiiit in sorrows when cherished unduly, turns grief into a spirit of rebellion. Self becomes first and foremost. All the arbitrary means used, professedly b cause there is eotrow, con firms and strengthens such a narrow and unhealty condition of the heart. A aelf- Bb gratification of one’s cherished feel ings in griet tak* s away from thrir sancti fying power. It is a grievous wtong to the soul, when one needs to forget self in tbe higher claims of the L >rd, who has sorely smitten. He .!•.*; h not afflict will ingly. and selfish grief should not prevent or.e from entering into the full enjoyment of the peace aud spiritual power which grow of His sore smilings. Go where we may, some one remarks, we seem my ate* riou-ly to carry our own circumfenco of darkness with us. But we need the light and should not try to keep it out. Let God’s sunshine ia.for to withhold it is wrong to others. Too often th 'se who are in mourning for theitdead l ave forgotten their duty to the liviug. Wuy alould a jfatber or mother banish the light, hush the merry voices of the children, and take from ihem their pleasure because some loved one is gom? Wliyab.iuida wife so brood over the loss or her husband as to be remiss in a loving ministry which is her .children’s due, aud should be for be r a holy servici? Oar loneliaois or spirit should not be suffered to cast a shadow across the pathway which God’s clouds have not yet darkened.

Going to the house of Dr. Camak he sent Thomas iu to learn if they desired to purchase aay of his products. Mrs. Camak had no smaller change than & five dollar bill and said she would take som** ii it could be changed. The boy returned to Mr. Denny, re ceived the $1.80 tequired, and Btarted to sell the apples. In the meantime the lady had changed her mind decidedly not to purchase.

Why should there be continued gloom in our affl c ions, las ing but for season, when we arc told that there wiil be the working out through them, If we are propetly exercised thereby, of ao eternal weight of glory. There should be constaut watch'ulnees in these things, lest one be blind as to wha is b at for self, what tbe need and rights of others are, aud as to what the Lord would have u 3 do.

Washington, Doc. 17.—Mr. Blaine’ condition is about the same. A perso: qualified to speak by reason of relation ship with the family, says: “It is only within the past four days that Mr. Blaine’s family have fully realized tha> the sands of his life are rapidly running out. At no period of his declining health for some time past, has Mr. Blaine failed to appreciate that he was stricken with , disease that must sooner or later terminate fatally, but with a splendid courage characteristic of tin man, ho has carefully’ guarded the se cret from his family and performed hi duties—public and private.

That which alarms hi friends most'is that upon the occnrrenc. of every relapse, such as tlio one from which lie is now suffering, his vital powers show less and less reenperative energy. As a matter of fact, Mr. Blaine is growing weaker and weaker as days go by. He is much amaciate. as compared with his condition six day ago. Until quite recently Mr. Blaine had not felt incliue<l to discuss the sub ject of death. Now he s{>eaks npon that subject freely; is preparing for the end, and is becoming reconciled to the common lot of man. A loving father, the death of three children within a comparatively brief period has sorely stricken him and his grief has hastened the progress of the malady with which he is afflicted.
