Oar readers have doubtless noticed the numerous discussions by the scientists and hygienists as to the relative value of the various baking powders. A careful sifting of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the superiority of the Royal Baking Powder in pnrity, wholesomeness and strength, from a scientific standpoint. An opinion, however, that will have perhaps greater influence with our practical housekeepers, is that given by Marion Harland, the wellknown and popular writer, upon matters pertaining to the science of domestic economy, of housekeeping, and of home cooking. In a letter published in the Philadelphia Ladies’ Home Journal, this writer says: “I regard the Royal Baking Powder os the best manufactured and in the market, so far as I have any experience in the use of such compounds. Since the introduction of it into my kitchen, I have used no other in making biscuits, cakes, etc., and have entirely discarded for such purposes the home-made combination of one-third soda, two-thirds cream of tartar. “Every box has been in perfect condition when it came into my hands, and the contents have given complete satisfaction It is an act of simple justice, and also a pleasure, to' recommend it unqualifiedly to American hbusewives. “Marion Harland.” “Thekk,” said the grocer, as he gave the boy half a dozen onions for a nickel, “I’m doing myself ft rank injustice.

SUNSHINE Bov. T. DeWitt Telmage Talks 01 the Christian's Lifo. Religion Is the Duishtrr of <iod—Th« Sunshine of Christian Society— Whr U>« Children ot.God Sho uld be Happy. The following discourse, with “The Sunshine of Religion’’ os its subject, was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle. The text was: Her ways are ways of pleasantness.—Proverbs lit, 17. You have all heard of God’s only begotten Son. Ha ve yon heard of God’s daughter? She was bom In Heaven. She came down over the hills of our world. She had queenly step. On her brow was celestial radiance. Her voice was mnsic. Her name is Religion. My text introduces her. “Her ways arc ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Hut what is religion? The fact is that theological study has had S different effect upon me from the effect sometimes produced. Every year I tear out another leaf from my theology until I have only three or four leaves left. In other words, a very brief and plain statement of Christian belief. # An aged Christian minister said: “When I Was a young man, I knew everything; when I got to be thirty-five years of age in my ministry I had only a hundred doctrines of religion; when I got to be forty years of age, I had only fifty doctrines of religion; when I got to be sixty years of age, I had only ten doctrines of religion; and now I am dying at seventy-five years of age, and there is only one thing ,I know, and that is, that Christ came into the world to save sinners,” And so I have noticed in the study of God's word, and in my contemplation of the character of God or the eternal world, that it is necessary for me to drop this part, of mv belief and that part of my

belief as being- non-essential, while 1 cling to- the one great doctrine that man is a sinner, and Christ is his Almighty and Divine Saviour. Now, I take these three or four leaves of my theology, and I find that in the first place, and dominant above all others, is the sunshine of religion. When 1 go into a room I have a passion for throwing open all the shutters. That is what I want to do this morning. We are apt to throw so much of the sepulchral into our religion and to close the shutters, and to pull down the blinds, that it is only through here and there a crevice that the light streams. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is a religion of joy indescribable and unutterable. Whenever I can find a bell I mean to ring it. If there are any in this house this morning who are disposed to hold on to their melancholy and gloom, let them now depart this service before the fairest and the brightest and most radiant being of all the universe comes in. God's Son has J.eft our world, but God’s Daughter is here. Give her room! Hail! princess of Heaven. Hail! daughter of the Lord God Almighly. Come in and make this house thy throne room. In setting forth this idea the dominant theory of religion is one of sunshine. I hardly know where to begin, for there are so many thoughts that rush upon my soul. A mother 6aw her little child seated on the floor in the sunshine, and with a spoon in her hand. She said: “My darling, what are you doing there?” “Oh,” replied the child, “I’m getting a spoonful of this sunshine.” Would God that to-day I might present yoiK with a gleaming chalice of this glorious, everlasting,: gospel sunshine! First of all, I find a; great deal of sunshine in Christian society. I do not know of anything more doleful than the companionship of the mere fun-makers of the world—the Thomas Hoods, the Charles Lambs, the Charles Matthews of the world—the men whose entire business it is to make 6port. They make others laugh, but' if you will examine their autobiography, or biography, you will find that down in their s©ul there was a terrific disquietude. Laughter is no sign of happiness. The maniac laughs. The hyena laughs. The loon among the, Adirondacks laughs. The drunkard,; dashing his decanter against the wall, laughs. There is a terrible reaction from all Einfularausementand sinful merriment Such men are cross the next day. They snap at you on the exchange or they pass you, not recognizing you. Long ago I quit mere worldly society for the reason it was so dull, so inane and so stupid. My nature is voracious of joy. I mast have it. I always walk on the sunny side of the street, and for that reason I have crossed into Christian society. I like their mode of repartee better; I like their style of amusement better. They live longer. Christian people, I sometimes notice, live on when by all natural law they ought to have died. I have known persons who have continued in their existence when the doctor said they ought to have heen dead ten years. Every day of their existences was a defiance of the laws of anatomy* and physiology, but they had this supernatural vivacity of the Gospel in their soul, and that kept them alive, Put ten or twelve Christian people in a room for Christian conversation, and

you will from 8 to 10 o clock hear more resounding glee, see more bright strokes of wit and find more thought and profound satisfaction, than in any merely worldly party. Now, when I say a “worldly party,” I mean that to which you are invited because under all the circumstances of the case is the best for you to bflBnvited, and to which you go because under all- the circumstances of the case it is better that you go; and leaving the shawls on the second floor, you go to the parlor to give formal salutation to the host and hostess, and then move around, spending the whole evening in the discussion of the weather, and in apology for treading on long trails, and in effort to keep the corners of the mouth up to the sign of pleasure, and going around with an idiotic he-he about nothing, nntii the collation is served, and then after the collation is served, going back again into the parlor to resume the weather andl then at the close going at a very late hour to the host and hostess and assuring them that you have had a most delightful evening, and then passing down off the front steps, the slam of the door the only satisfaction of the evening. O young man! come from the country to spend your days in city life, where are you going to spend your evenings? Let me tell yon, while there are many places of innocent worldly amusement, it is most wise for you to throw your body, mind and soul into Christian society. Come to me at the close of five years and tell me what has been the result of this advice. Bring with you the yonug man who refused to take the advice, and who went into sinful amusement He will come dissipated, shabby in apparel, indisposed to look anyone in the eyes, moral character eightyfive per cent off. You will come with principle settled, countenance frank, habits good, soul saved, nnd all the In

=- ■ - -=== Heaven, from the k>W<*i angel tip to the archangel and clear past htfal to the fcord God Almighty, your ceadjutators. this is not the advice of a misanthrope. There is no man in the house to tvhom the world is brighter than it is-to me. It is not the advice of a dyspeptic—my digestion is perfect; it is not the advice of a man who can not understand a joke, or who prefers a fu* neral; it is not the advice of a Worn-out man, but the advice .of ft man who eatt see theworid in all its brightness) and* considering myself competent in judging wha t is good cheer, 1 tell the multi* tudes of young men in this house this morning' tligt there is nothing in worldly association so grand, and so beautiful hnd. so exhilarant as in Christian Society. I know there is a great deal of talk about the self-denial of the Christian. I have to tell you that where the Christian has one self-denial the man of the world has a thousand self-denials The Christian is not commanded to surrender anything that is worth keeping. But what does a man deny himself who denies himself the religion of Christ? Iledenies himself pardon forsin; he denies himself peace of conscience; he denies himself the joy of the Holy Ghost; he denies himself a comfortable death pillow; he denies himself the glories of Heaven. Do not talk to me about the self-denials of the Christian life. Where there is one in the Christian life then; are a thousand in the life of the world. “Her ways are ways of pleasantness.”

Again: I find a great deal of religiousisunshine in Christian and Divine explanation. To a great many people life is an inexplicable tangle. Things turn dwt^cUfferebUy from what was supposed. T'Rsre-Is a, useless woman in perfect health. There is an industrious and consecrated woman a complete invalid. Explain that. There is a bad man with thirty thousand dollars of income. There is a good man with eight hundred dollars of income. Why is that? There is a foe of society who lives on doing all the damage he can, to seVeuty-five years of age; and here is a Christian father, faithful in every department of life, at thirty-five years of age taken away by death, his family left helpless. ^Explain that. Oh! there is no sentence that oftener drops from your lips than this: “I can not-understantf it I can not understand it.” Well, now, religion comes in just at that point with its illumination and its explanation. There is a business man who has lost his entire fortune. The week before he lost his fortune there were twenty carriages that stopped at the door of his mansion. The week after he lost his fortune all the carriages you could count on one finger. The week before financial trouble began people all took off their hats to him as he passed down the street. The week his financial prospects were under discussion people just tipped; their hats without anywise ^epdingtha rim. The week that he was pronounced insolvent people just jolted their heads as they passed, not tipping their hats at all, and the week the sheriff sold him out all his friends were looking in the store windows as they went down past him. Now, while the world goes away from a man when he is in financial distress, the religion of Christ comes to him and says: “You are sick, and your sickness is to be moral purification; you are' bereaved; God wanted in some way to take your family to Heaven, and He must begin somewhere, and so He took the one that was most beautiful and w;as most ready to go.” I do not say that religion explains everything in this life, but I do say that it lays down certain principles which are grandly consolatory. You know business men often telegraph in ciphers. The merchant in San Francisco telegraphs to the merchant in New York certain information in ciphers which no other man in that line of business ‘‘can understand; but the merchant in San Francisco has the key to the cipher, and the merchant in New York has the key to the cipher, and on that information transmitted there are enterprises involving hundreds of thousand dollars. Now the providences of life sometimes seem to be a senseless rigmarole, a mysterious cipher; but God has a key to that cipher, and the Christian a key to the cipher, and though he may hardly be able to spell out the meaning, he gets enough of the meaning to understand that it is for the best. Now, is there not sunshine in that? Is there not pleasure in that? Far beyond laughter, it is nearer the fountain of tears than boisterous demonstration. Have you never cried for joy? There are tears which are eternal rapture in distillation. •

There are hundreds of people in this house who are walking day by day in the sublime satisfaction that all is for the best, all things working together for good for their soul. How a man can get along through this life without the explanation is to me a mystery. What! is that child gone forever? Are you never to get it back? Is your property gone forever? Is your soul to be bruised and to be tried forever? Have you no explanation, no Christian explanation, and yet not a maniac? But when you huve the religion of fJesus Christ in your soul, it explains everything so far as it is best for you to understand. You look olf in life, and your soul is -full of thanksgiving to God that you are so much better off than yon might be. A man passed down the street without any shoes, and said: “I have no shoes; isn’t it a hardship that I have no shoes? Other people have shoes; no shoes,no shoes,” until he saw a man who' had no feet. Then 'he learned a lesson. You ought to thank God for what He does instead of grumbling for what He does not. God arranges all the weather in this world—the spiritual weather, _the moral weather, as well as the natural weather. ‘‘What kind of weather will it be to-day?” said some one to a farmer. The farmer replied: “It will be such weather as I lik£.” “What do you mean by that?” asked the other. “Well.” said the farmer, “it will be such weather as pleases the Lord, and what pleases the Lord pleases me.” r~~ Oh! the sunshine! the sunshine of Christian explanation! Here is some one heading over the grave of the dead. What is going to bo the consolation? The flowers yon strew upon the tomb? Oh, no! The services read at the grave? Oh, no! The chief consolation on that grave_,is what falls from the throne offGod. Sunshine, glorious sunshine. jResurection sun-, shine. v ) Again, I find h-greAt deal of the sunshine of this Bible and of our religion in the climacteric joys that, are to come. A man who gets up and goes from a concert right after the opening voluntary has been played, and before the prima donna sings, or before the orchestra begins, has a better idea of tbatponccrt than that man has who supfioscs that the chief joy of religion are in this world. We here have only , the first note of the eternal orchestra. We shall in that world have the joy of discovery. We will in ‘five minutes catch up with the astronomers, the geologists, the scientists, the philosophers of all ages, who so. far surpassed us in this world. We can afford to adjourn astronomy and geology and many of the sciences to tie next world,

=—-•—»—-—- becAUso ve shall there have better apparatus and better opportunity. I must stuiy these sciences so far as to helo me in iny work, but beyond that I must (fire myself to saving my own soul and saving the souls of others, knowing that in one dash of eternity we will catch it all. Oh! What an observatory in which to study astronomy Heaven will be—not by power of telescope. but by supernatural vision, and if there ba something doubtful ted million niiles aWay, by ode stroke of the Wing yon are there, and by another stroke of the wing'you are back again, and all in less time than I tell yon, catching it all in one dash of eternity. And geology! What a place that will he to study geology, when the world is being picked to pieces as easily as a school girl in botanical lessons pulls the leaf from the corolla! What a'place to study architecture, amid the thrones and the palaces and the cathedrals—St Mark's and St Paul’s rookeries in comparison. Sometimes you wish you could make the tour of the whole earth, going around as others have gone; but you have not the time, you have not the •means. Yon will make that tour yet, during one musical pause in the eternal anthbm.' 1 say these things for the comfort of those people who are abridged in their opportunities—those people to whom life is a hum-drum, who toil and work, and toil and work, and aspire after knowledge but have no time to get it. ‘■‘If I had the opportunities which other people have, how I would fill my mind and soul with grand thoughts!” Be not discouraged my friends. Yon are going to the university yet. Death will only matriculate you into the royal college of the

universe. What a sublime thiig it was that Dr. Thornwell, of South Carolina, uttered in l)is last (lying moments! As he looked up he said, “It opens; itexpands, it expands.'1 Or as Mr. Toplady, the author of “Boclcs of Ages,” in his last moment, or during his last hours, looked up and said, as though 1m saw something supernatural, “Light!", and then as he came on nearer the dying moment, his countenance more luminous, he cried, “Light!” and at the very moment of his departure lifted both hands, -something supernatural in his countenance as ho cried: “Light!” Only another name for sunshine. Besides that, we shall have all the pleasures of association. We will go right up in front of God without any fright. All our sins gone, there will be nothing to be frightened about. There our old Christian friends will troop around us. ^Just as now one of your sick friends goes away to Florida, the land of flowers, or to the south of France, and you do not see him for a long while, and after awhile you meet him, and the hollows under the eyes are all filled, and the, appetite has come back, and the crutch has been thrown away, and he is so changed you hardly know him; you say: “Why I never saw yon look so well.” He says: “I couldn’t help but be well. I have been sailing these rivers and climbing these mountains, and that's how I got this elasticity. I never was so well.” O, my friends! your departed loved ones are only away for their health in a better climate, and when you meet them they will be so changed, you will hardly know them; they will be so very changed, and, after awhile, when you are assured that they are your friends, your departed friends, you will say: “Why, where is that cough? Where is that paralysis? Where is that pneumonia? Where is that consumption?” And he will say: “Oh! I am entirely well; there are no sick ones in this country; I have been r.inging these hills and hence this elasticity. I have been here now twenty years, and not one sick one have I seen—we are all well in this climate.” And then I stand at the gate of th* celestial city to see the processions come out, and I see a long processioi of little children with their arms full of flowers, and then I see a processios of kings and priests moving in celestial pageantry—a long procession, but nr black-tasseled vehicle, no mourning group, and I say: “How strange it is! Where is your Greenwood?- Where ii your Laurel Hill? Where is your Westminster abbey?” And they shall cry: “There are no graves here.” And tligp listen for the tolling of the old belfries of Heaven, the old belfries of eternity. I listen to heafthem toll for the dead, but they toll not for the dead; they only strike up a silvery chime, tower to tower, east gate to west gate, as they ring out: “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eves.” Oh! unglove your hand and give it to me in congratulation on that scene. I feel as if I would shout. I will shout hallelujah!. Dear Lord, forgive me that I ever complained about anything. If all this is before us, who cares for anything but God and Heaven and eternal brotherhood? Take the crape off the doorbell. Your loved ones are only away for their health in a land ambrosial. Come Lowell Mason; come Isaac Watts, and give us your best hymn about joy celestial. ■ What is the use of pcstpoinng our Heaven any longer? Let it begin now; and whosoever hath a harp, let her thrum it; and whosover hath a trumpet, let him blow it; and whosoever hath an organ, let him give us a1 full diapason. They crowd down the air, spirits blessed, moving in cavalcade of triumph. Their chariot wheels whirl in the Sabbath of sunlight. They come. Halt! Armies of God! Halt! until we are ready to join the battalion of pleasures that never die. 0 my friends! it would take a sermon as long as eternity to tell the joys that are coming to us. I just set open the sunshiny door. Come in, all vetjiseiples of the world who have found the world a mockery. Come in, all ye disciples of the dance, and see the bounding feet of this heavenly gladness. Coma in, ye disciples of worldly amusement, and see the stage where kings are the actors and burning worlds the footlights, and thrones the spectaculars. Arise ye dead in siri, for this is the morning of resurrection. They of Heaven submerge our soul. I pull out the trumpet stop In thy presence there is a fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Blessed are the saints beloved of Go 1, Washed are their robes la Jesus' blood; Brighter than angels, lo! they shine. Their glories splendid and sublime. My soul anticipates the day, Wonld stretch her wing and soar away; To aid the song, the palm to bear, . And bow, the chief of sinners there. Oh, the sunshine, the glorious sunshine. the everlasting sunshine!

—Let this and every dawn of mom* ing, advises Baskin, be to yon as the beginning of life, and let every setting sun be to you as its close; let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done to others— some goodly strength or knowledge gained from yourselves. 0—Rev. John Murray, the founder of nuiversalism, was once berated by an angry lady who- did not accept his teachings. He listened to her patiently, and when she ended said mildly: “Madam, it iB not you that are angry with me. but the devil in yon.”

—r*ODD CORNEAS OA THE WORLD. Christian missionaries in foreign lands aim said to experience more trouble In their attempts to convert Mohammedans than they encounter with any other class of people. Frank V in cent, the African explorer, has left Rangoon to continue his travels into the interior. He has already traveled over 800,000 miles without meeting with any serious disaster or accident. A Shanghai correspondent states that it took the arrival of the United States gunboat Monocacy back of the local officials to prevent a recent outbreak at Nankin because a missionary provided a Chinese boy with a glass eye to take the place of a natural one he had lost. The Chinese settlers on the island ofSumatra have a strange and ludicrous form of salutation. When they meet each other, say after an absence of a month or longer, they; do not shake each other’s hand; they smile broadly, and each grasps his own hand, shaking It vigorously for a few moments. f FAIR WOMEN ABROAD. ^ Doss a Isadora Cottsink, of South America, who is claimed to be the rich^ eet widow In the world, has an incomo of tS0,0O9 per month from her coal mines alone. Ethel Mackenzie McKenna, the eldest daughter of the late, Sir Morell Mackenzie, the great medical specialist, is a clever newspaper woman, wellknown as a London correspondent. Mrs. Edward Llovd, who died in London the other day at the age of ninety, when a girl helped, to entertain Dlucher on his arrival in England after Waterloo, and was present in Westminster Abbey at the coronation of George IV., William IV. and Queen Victoria. Miss IIui.dah Fredericas, of the Pall Mall Gazette staff, is the first woman to be taken on the regular staff of a London paper. Although of German nationality she jan both write and speak English fluently and knows both Russian and French sufficiently well to act as special correspondent in St. Petersburg or Paris at need. LAW AND LAWYERS. Girls over twelve can make valid wills under the laws of Scotland. A bankrupt merchant at. Acadia Mines, N. S., has been sentenced to two months in jail for having willfully contracted a debt without having at the time a reasonable expectation of being able to pay it. The name of an alleged rain compeller, who has brought suit in a Nebraska court for SoCO'for producing a shower last summer, is Swisher—a name peculiarly suggestive of a driving rainstorm from the Cast. A judge on the English bench told the jury in a murder trial at Yorkshire recently that it was his opinion “if one man called another a liar »slight blow in retaliation is justifiable.” He added: “This may be new law, but it is common sense.” ABOUT THE STAGE.

None But Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure. No other equals^ it, or approaches it in leavening strength, purity, or wholesomeness. (See U. S. Gov’t Reports.) No Other is made from cream of tartar specially refined for it and chemically pure. No other makes such light, sweet, finely-flavored, and wholesome food. No other will maintain its strength without loss, until used, or wiil make bread or cake that will keep fresh so long, or that can be eaten hot with impunity, even by dyspeptics. No other is so economical. The Baking Powders now being offered in this wicinity, with the statement that they are “as good as Royal,” have been shown by the official analyses to be composed of alum and detrimental to health. The official chemists of the United States and Canada, State analysts, municipal boards of health, and physicians1 indorse the great qualities of the Royal Baking Powder.

A Statesman’s Problem. When Senator Lamar, who had just married a young wife, was appointed secretary of the interior by Mr. Cleveland. his bride spent a week househunting, and finally found what seemed to be a suitable residence for a cabinet officer. She drove to the senate, of which Mr. Lamar was still a member, to tell her husband the news of her discovery. His first question was: “What is the rent, dear?” “Seventy-five hundred a year.” The senator lapsed into deep thought and the young wife said, rather nervously: *■ . “Do you think it extravagant?” “It is not that,” returned Lamar, slowly. “I was wondering what I should do with the other five hundred dollars of my salary.”—Chicago InterOcean.

It Is now a “Nostrum,” though at first It was compounded after a prescriptiplt by a regular physician, with no idea that it would ever go on the market as a proprietary medicine. But after compounding that prescription over a thousand times in one year, we named it “Piso’n Cure for Consumption," and began advertising it in a small way. A medicine known alt over the world is the result. Why is it not just as good as though costing fifty cents to a dollar for a prescription and an equal sum to havejt put up at a drug store!
