How shall the dangerous alum powders

Generally, alum powders may be known

but a few cents a pound to make, and is
often sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound.
If some present is given with it, the
price may he 30, -10 or 50 cents a pound.
It is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at a low price, or adver¬
tized as costing only half as much as

But the easy, safe, and certain protec¬
tion of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger of unwholesomeness is in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because of ttie
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. S. Gov¬
ernment, and by the official chemists and
boards of Health, which leave no doubt

and ammonia, its absolute purity an 1
wholesomeness. While its use is thus a
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it is satisfactory at the same
time to know that it makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with im¬
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength ii

These facts should incline consumers to
turn a deaf ear to all importunities to
buy the inferior powder. If a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be borne in mind that it
is because he can make more profit on
them. The wise housekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.

same voieo with which he commanded the
euu and moon to halt and stack arras of
light on the parade ground of the heavens,
says, “As for me and my house, we will
serve the Lord.”
Before we adopt the resolution of this old
soldier we want to be certain it is a wise
resolution. If religion is going to put my
children piano out of tune, through and clog the feet of the

It is a great deal easier to invite a dis¬
agreeable guest than to get rid of him. If
you do not want religion, you had better not
ask it to come, for after coming it may stay
a great while. Isaac Watts went to visit

you all knelt. It was about the same prayer
morning by morning and night by night,
for he had the same sins to ask pardon which for,
and he had the same blessings, and for to
be grateful day after day year after
year.
The prayer was longer than you would
like to have had it, for the game at ball was
waiting, or the schoolbooks skates were needed lying under the
shed, or the Your one or two
more looking at the lessons. parents,
somewhat rheumatic and stiffened with age,
found it difficult to rise from their kneeling.
The chair at which they knelt is gone, the
Bible out of which they read has perhaps
fallen children to pieces, scattered the north, parents are gone, and the
east, south
west, but that whole scene flashes upon your
memory to-day.
Was that morning and evening exercise in
your father’s house debasing or elevating?
Is it not among the most sacred reminis¬
cences? You were not as devotional as some
of the older members of your father’s house
who were kneeling with head you at closely the time, and
you did not bow your as as they
did, and you looked around and you saw
just the posture your father and mother
assumed while they were kneeling on. the
floor. The whole scene is so photographed
on your memory that if you were an artist
you could draw it now just as they knelt.
For how much would you have that scene
obliterated from your memory? It all comes
back to-day, and you are in the homestead
again. Father is there, mother is is there, old all
of you children are there, It the same
prayer, opening with the same petition,
closing with the same 1840-50 thanksgiving. The
family prayers of as fresh in your
memory as though they were uttered yester¬
day. The tear that starts from your eye
melts all that scene. Gone, is it? Why,
many a time it has held you steady in the
struggle of life. You once started for a
place, and that memory jerked you back,
and could not enter.
The broken prayer of your father has had
more effect on you than all you ever read in
Shakespeare and Milton and Tennyson and
Dante. You have gone over mountains and
across seas. You never for a moment got
out of sight of that domestic altar. Ob, my
friends, is it your opinion this morning that
the 10 qr 15 minutes substracted from
each day for family devotion was an econ¬
omy or a waste of time in your father’s
bouseholfl? I think some of us are coming which
to the conclusion that the religion
was in our father’s house would be a very
appropriate religion for our homes. If fam¬
ily prayefc did not damage that household,
there is no probability that they wUl damage

Somewhere between 7o’clock in the morn¬
ing ancl 10 o'clock at night there may be a
moment when you will lie in urgent need of
God. Besides that, family prayers will be a
secular advantage. A father went into the

We mdy pray in the morning, “Give us
this day bur daiiv bread,” and sit down in
idleness and starve to death: but prayer
and hard work will give a livelihood to any
family. Family religion pays for both
worlds. Let us nave an altar in each one of
our households. You may not be able to
formulate a prayer. Then there are Philip
Henry’s prayers, and there are McDufFs
prayers, ana there are Philip Doddridge’s church
prayers, and there are the Episcopal of books with
prayers, and there are scores domestic
supplications just suited to the
circle. “I don’t feel
“Oh,” says some man, com¬

Well, I do not know that it is your to
lead. I think perhaps it is sometimes better
for the mother of the household to lead. She
knows better the wants of the household.
She can read the Scriptures with a more
tender enunciation. She knows more of
God. I will put it plainly and say she pravs
better. Oh, these mothers decide almost
everything! Nero’s mother was a murder¬

mother’s grave than in father’s grave, nut
over the father’s tomb I think there is a kind

young man has been revolutionized.
Oh, young man with cheek flushed with
dissipation! how long is it since you have
been out to your father’s grave* Will you
not go this week? Perhaps the storms of the
last few days may have bent the headstone
until it leans far over. You had better go
out and see whether the lettering has been
defaced. You had better go out and see
whether the gate of the lot is closed. You
had better go and see if you cannot find a
sermon in the springing grass. Oh, young
man, go out this week and see your father’s
grave!
Religion did so much for our Christian an¬
cestry, willing are receive we not it ready this morning to be
to into our own households?
If we do receive it, let it come through the
front door, not through the back door. In
other words, do not let us smuggle it iu.
There are a great many families who want
to be religious, but they do not want any
Dody outside to know it. They would be
mortified to death if you caught them at
their family prayers. They would not sing
in the worship for fear the neighbors would
bear them. They do not have prayers when
they have company.
They do not Know much about the nobility
of the western trapper. A traveler going
along was overtaken by night and a storm,
and he entered a cabin. There were firearms
hung up around the cabin. He was alarmed.
He had a large amount of money with him,
but he did not dare to venture on into the
night in the storm. He did not like the looks
of the household. After awhile the father,
the western and trapper, the traveler came in, gun on
shoulder, when loosed at
him be was still more affrighted.
After awhile the family were whispering
together in one corner of the room, and the
traveler thought to himself: “Oh! now my
time has come; I wish I was out in
the storm and In the night rather
than here.” But the swarthy man came up
to him and said: “Sir, we are a rough peo¬
ple; we get our living by bunting, and we are
very tired when the night comes; but before
going to little bed we out always of the have Bible a habit and of having read¬
ing a and I think will
prayers, we have our usual
custom to-night, and if you don’t believe in
that kind of thing if you will just step out¬
side the door for a little while i will be much
obliged to you.”
Oh! there are many Christian parents
who have not half the courage of that
western trapper. They do not want their
religion projecting too conspicuously. They
would like to have it near by so as to call on
it in case of a funeral, but as to having it
dominant in the household from the 1st of
January, 10 7 o’clock a. m., to the 31st of De¬
cember, o’clock p. m., they do not want
it. They would rather die and have their
families perish with them than to cry out in
the bold words of the soldier in my texc,
“As for me and my house, we will serve
the Lord.”
There was, in my ancestral line, an inci
dent so strangely impressive that it seems
more like romance than reality. It has
sometimes been so inaccurately put forth that
I no w give you the true incident. My grand¬
father and grandmother, living at Somer¬
ville. revival N. J., under went the to ministry Baskinridge of the to Rev. witness Dr.
a
Finley. They came nome so impressed with
what they had seen that they resolved on
the salvation of their children.
The young people of the house were to go
off for an evening party, and my grand¬
mother said:
“Now, when you are all ready for the
party, come to my room, for I have some¬
thing very important to tell you.” All
ready and she for said departure, to them, they “Now, came I want to her room, to

young people went to the party, but amid
the loudest hilarities of the night they could
not forget that their mother was praying
for them. The evening passed, and the nigh,,
passed.
The next day ray grandparents heard an
outcry ia an adjoining their room, and imploring they went
in and found daughter the
salvation of the gospel. The daughter told
them that her brothers were at the barn
and at the wagon house under powerful con¬
viction of sin. They went to the barn.
They found my Uncle Jeniah, who after¬
ward became a minister of the gospel, cry¬
ing to God for mercy. They went to toe

David went and told the story to a young
woman to whom he was affiance 1, who as a
result of the story became a Christian, and
from h?r own lips—my mother’s—I have re¬
ceived the incident.
The story of that converted household
ran through all the neighborhood whole region from
family to family until the was
whelmed with religious awakening, and at
the next communion in the village church
at Somerville over 290 souls stood up to pro¬
fess the faith of the gospel. My mother,
carrying the memory of this scene from
early womanhood into further life, in after
years was resolved upon the salvation of her
children, and for many years every week
she met three other Cnristian mothers to
pray for the salvation of their families. I
think that all the members of those families
were saved—myself, the youngest and last.
There were 12 of us children. I trace the
whole line of mercy back to that hour whan
my Christian grandmother blessing of sat God in her room her

preachers of the gospel. Many of her de¬

On, when we see what family religion did
for our father’s household, do we not want
it to come into the dining-room to break the
bread, into the nursery to bless the young,
into the parlor to purify the socialities, into
the library to control the reading, into the
bedroom to hallow the slumber, into the ball
to watch our going out and our coming in*
Aye, there are hundreds of voices in this
house ready to cry out; “Yes! Yes! As
for me and my house, we wilt serve the
Lord.”
There are two arms to this subject. The
one arm puts its hand on all parents. It
says to them: “Don’t interfere with your
children’s welfare, don’t interfere with their
eternal happiness, don’t you by anything
you do out out your foot and trip them into
ruin. Start them under the shelter, the In¬
surance, the Catechisms everlasting will help of Christian

not save them, though the rod may be neces¬
sary. Lessons of virtue will not save tnem,
though they are very important. Becoming
a through and through, up aud down, out
and out Christian yourself will make them
Christians.”
The other arm of this subject puts its
hand upon those who bad a pious bringing
up, but who as yet have disappointed the
expectations excited in regard to them. I
said that children brought up in Christian
households, though they might mase back a
wide curve, were very apt to come to
the straight path. Have you not been
curving out long enough, and is in? it not most

about yourself. Oh, cross over into the right
path. If your parents prayed for you twice
a day,each of them twice a day for 20 years,
that would make 29,000 prayers for you.
Think of them 1
By the memory of the cradle in which
your childhood was rocked with the foot

which your own children slumber night by
night under God’s protecting care, by the
two graves in which sleep those two old
hearts that beat with love so long for your

you, now the living father and mother, will

Civilization Brings Short Sight.
The subject of shortsightedness in
animals was under consideration at a
meeting of the Paris Academy of Medi¬
cine, when M. Metals, of Angers, main¬
tained that this defect in vision is one of
the products of civilization. An unex¬
pected proot of this view wa3 found in
the condition of wild beasts, as tigers,
i; ons , ! e t c , M. Motals, having examined
thelV eye s by means of the ophthalmo
scope, discovered that those captured
after the age of six or eight months re¬
tained the long sight n' ural to them,
but that those made capti|, before that
age, and those born in a s£l j of captiv¬
ity, were short-sighted. Some time
since a case was published of a horse in
this country that wears spectacles. The
farmer who owned him,.having come to
the conclusion from various symptoms
that tKe horse was shortsighted, got an
oculist to take the necessary measure¬
ments, and had a pair of spectacles man¬
ufactured for him. They were made to
fasten firmly into the headstall, so that
they did not shake out of place. At first
the horse appeared startled by this addi¬
tion to his harness, but he soon got
used to the glasses and liked them.
•‘If fact,” said the owner to a Erook
iyn Eagle man, “when 1 turned him out
to pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort¬
able without bis goggles, and one Sun¬
day he hung around the barn and
whinnied so plaintively that I put the
headstall and goggles on him, and he
was so glad that he rubbed my shoulder
with his nose.” It is thought that the
vice of shying, which spoils bo many
otherwise valuable horses, is induced by
shortsightedness. The animals cannot
see some particular object sufficiently
plainly to feel sure that it is of a harm¬
less nature, and so shies away from it.
Owners of dogs may often prove that
their pets suffer from short sight, and it
will often be found that a dog is unable
to recognize people with whose appear
ance it is most intimate when they are a
little way off, whiie another dog at the
same distance has no difficulty whatever
in recognizing them. Dogs have been
provided with spectacles in the same
way as the farmer’s horse alluded to, and
have been conclusively shown to have
derived great benefits from them.—New

“In 1879 I bad an eruption appear ,.„ my left
leg and arm. Sometimes it would ulcerate
and on account of it I was unable to work a
great deal of the time. I had seven doctors ex¬
amine and treat me without success. Some
called it psorasis, some eczema, some salt
rheum and one knowing one called it prairie
itch. All the doctors In the county had a trial
but none did me a particle of good. I spent all
ray spare money trying to get relief. Finally
1 was persuaded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla,
After using one and a half bottles 1 saw the
benefit. 1 have now used the third bottle and
am completely cured. I received Lioro

“German
Syrup”
Justice of the Peace, George Wil¬
kinson, of Lowville, Murray Co.,
Minn., makes a deposition Listen concern¬ it. “In
ing a severe cold. to
the Spring of 1888, through ex¬
posure I contracted a very severe
cold that settled on my lungs. This
was accompanied by excessive night
sweats. One bottle of Boschee’s
German Syrup broke up the cold,
night sweats, and all and left me
in a good, healthy condition. I can
give German Syrup my most earnest
commendation.’’ ®
