Do you know what's going on ?
Maybe you'll know by the prices.
Bargains arc as plenty as chippies in a ivhêttl-ficld.
After getting the lowest prices for our reliable clotH

sold. Others—part of them are left. They make
enough, gathered together, to more than fill one of
our big rooms.
They're two-thirds or half price as long as they last.
We're not a bit anxious to lose money.
We're brave enough to do it when we've either got
to do that or carry goods till next season,

she fluttered through the window
down to the entrance.
"What did you mean, doctor,"
she said after they had exchanged
you prayed last
night licit we might use our house
lor God's glory ? '
"What did the faithful servant do
with his Is 'Til's talents?" was the
seemingly irrelevant reply.
"But you don't mean that a house
is a talent?"
"What is ?" said the pastor.
"Why, I don't know— buta house
isjust to make a happy home."
"Exactly, and that home is to
radiate in all directions, till the in
crease is like the ten other talents."
"But hotv?" she asked, while her
eyes shone.
"That I can't '.ell; you will find
ways enough if you look for them."
All day Mrs. Andrews went around
among Iter pretty belonging with
a preoecuiped air. Tho books, the
pictures, the curiosities from far
away lands, all seemed to say, "how
are you going to use us ?"
Mr. Andrews' business as a cotton
buyer and broker had taken him
abroad and kept him there for some
years, and now, tired with wander
ing, they had come back to their old
Itoato oil the Chicksaw Bluffs, as
Memphis used to he called, to set
tle down again to quiet life.
There is nothing like home, after
all, is there?" said he as they sat on
the moon-lit veranda.
"No, indeed," she replied; "and I
hope nothing will never come to
make us leave it again. But did
you notice what Dr. Martin said
about our using the house for God's
glory?"
"Yes, I noticed it, but it passed
out of my mind."
"Well, lie says a house is a talent
and you must use it to multiply it,
but how can ono do it ?"
"You'll fiud a way I don't doubt,"
laughed he.
"I've been thinking," site said,
slowly, "us God has given our own
darlings a happy home, perhaps he
means us to open its doors to some
one olse's dear ones."
"Do yon mean adopt a child ?"
her husband said.
"No, I wasn't thinking of that."
"Well, is it a gospel feast, case of
the lame, the halt, etc ?"
"No," she answered, "that would
be a party merely. That might
come in though."
"I give it up, then. I am no
Edipus. You must read the riddle."
"I am not sure I quite know my

a lorlorn and home sick boy with
not a soul to care whether I lived or
died. But there reminds me of a
card put into my bunds as I loft the
elevator."
He step|iod inside tho hall, read
the note, then laughtingly put it
into his wife's builds.
"Dear Andrews," it ran, "I wish
you would do something for Wright
to-night. I don't think there is
much the matter with him now, but
lie looks badly, and will be ill if
somebody don't look after him. I
can but feel as if we were responsi
ble for the clerks, so take him in
hand, if you can. I am off to New
Orleans in the morning."
"There, Nan, is somethiug for you
to begin on. I'll send him out to
morrow."
"The afternoou sun blazed on the
pavement as a young man came
wearily down the street.
"1 don't believe I'll go in, after all
he muttered. "What does she care
for me, and my head aches now,"
and ho turned back, but the idea of
his steaming third story room made
him hesitate, until the cool shadows
mid tie tinkle of the fountain drew
him on.
The faint bull pull was not ans

lie dropped on the sofa in the hall,
and there Mrs. Andrews found him
asleep
"Oh," lie exclaimed; starting up,
and coloring furiously, "pardon
me."
"It is I who must bug pardon for
keeping you waiting, but here is my
appulugy," mid she handed him a
great bunch ol Maréchal Meil
roses.
"Oh, how delicious?" lie exclaim
ed, iuhniling the fragrance.
"How tired you must get in the
hot city," she said,' noting his pallor
now that the flush had faded—and
his tremulous hands, "Oan't you
get a vacation and go home to your
mother?"
"I have no home, und no mo
thor."
"My poor boy," was all tho ans
wer she made ; but her eyes which
filled with tears, and the gentle clasp
of her hand , spoke more than
words.
"Now, I am going to give you a
curious prescription, and send you
off to take a bath before tea, there is
notiiing so refreshing. Mr. Andrews
always has one when he comes from
town."
Halfan hour after, rested and re
freshed, Calvin Wright came out on
the veranda to find a tempting
lunch of strawberries and cream, in
sparkling cut glass dishes, awaiting
him, and he dropped into the soft
cushioned chair with a sigh of
pleasure. Ambrosial berries they
were to him, at least ho told the
boys that night, that he had been
in Paradise.
The dainty tea table with its ex
quisit napery, and its quaint, delicate
old china, was a revelation to the
boy who had known nothing but
third rate boarding house fare to say
nothing of the white robed figure at
the head, and the earnest souled
man who heaped his plate with de
licacies and brought forth his rich
conversational powers to entertain
his guest, with as much interest as
if he had been the highest in the
land instead of the youngest clerk
in the elevator.
"Oh well," though the boy, "they
are rich, and have always had every
thing they want ; it is all luck any
way.
But in the lung talk that can-e
after tea, Mr. Andrews told how he
had come to Memphis with a suit
of butternut jeans nnd one dollar in
his pocket; how he had steadily
worked his was up, stayed
through the terrible yoars of pestil

"So you see it is not all luck."
"Did I say that, sir ?"
"No, you did not say it, but that
is what you young ones think. It is
courage, determination, perseverance
and above all, it is God's good hand
upon you—and that you can have
for the asking—that makes a man's
success in life."
"Thank you, sir," said the young
man, involuntarily holding out his
hand. The elder grasped it cordially,
saying :
"God bless you, my boy, and give
you tho true success whicli may
not be measured here."
"Good-night, Mrs. Andrews," said
Wright as the clock gave a warning
stroke ; "you will never know what
this evening lias teen to me. May I
come again ?"
"Conte whenever you can. Thurs
days are to be my reception days,

A Question of Health.
What Bakin« Powdes Shall We
Use?
This plain question comes home
to every housekeeper. We all desire
pure wholesome food, and this can
not be had with the use of impure
or poisiouous baking powder. There
can be no longer a question that all
tlie cheaper, lower grades of baking
powders contain either alum, lime
or phosphatic acid. As loath as we
may be to admit so much against
what 1 may have been some of our
houeshold gods, there can be no
gainsaying the unamimous testimo
ny of the ollicial chemist. Indeed
analysts seem to lind no baking
powder entirely free from some one
of these objectionable ingredients ex
cept the Boyul, and that they report
as chemically pure. We find some
of the baking powders advertised aB
pure, to contain, under the tests of
Prüft gsors Chandler, llabirshaw
and others, nearly twelve per cent,
of lime, while others are made from
alum with cream of tarter. This, we
presume, accounts for their luck of
of levening power as sometimes com
plained of hy the cook, and for the
bitter taste found in the biscuits so
frequently complained of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiority of
the work done by these powders,
the physicians assure us that lime
and alum taken into the system in
such quanities as this are injurious.
Their physiologicl effects are indi
gestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder
makers use these thiugs,? Alum is
three cents a pound lime still cheap
er, while cream of tarter costs thirty
five or forty. The reason for the
chemical purity of the Royal Bak
ing Powder were recently given in
the New York Times is an interest
ing description of a new method for
refining argols, or crude cream of
tarter. It seems that it is only under
this process that cream of tarter can
be freed from the lime natural to it
and render chemically pure ; that
the patents and plant for this cost
the Royal Baking Powder Company
about half a million dolfars, and
that they maintain exclusive con
trol of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief
chemist of the Department of Agri
culture at Washington, D. G'., made'
an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results attained
in the refined cream of tarter. The
following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question
repeated at tho head of this artible,
and which is so frequently prepoun
ded by the housekeeper :
"I have examined the cream of
tarter used bv the Royal linking
Powder Company in the manufac
ture of their linking powder, and
find it to lie perfectly pure and free
from line in any form. Tho chemical
tests to which I have submitted the
Royal Baking Powder prove it per
fectly healthful and free from every
deleterious substance. The Royal
Baking Powder is pure in quality
and highest in strength of any bak
ing powdor of which I have know
ledge."
One mistake made with selling
fowls is in growing them to a large
size before selling. The best weight
arc from three to four pounds each.
The demand is greater for such
weights, as many buyers have found
the largersize more expensive. Com
mission merchants report that while
there is, of course a demand for
choice, large fowls, yet the smaller
ones sell more readily.
A Pleasure Shared by women
Only.
Malherbe, the gifted French auth
or, declares that of all tilings mail
possesses, women alone takes pleas
uee in being possessed. This seems
generally true of the sweeter sex.
Like tlie ivy plant, she longs for an
object to cling to and love—to look
to for protection. This being lier
prerogative, ought she not to be told
that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the physical salvation of her
sex ? It banishes those distressing
maledies that make lier life a bur
den, curing all painful irregularities,
uterine disorders, inflammation and
ulceration, prolapsus and kindred
weakness. As a nervine, it cures
nervous exhauston, prostration, de
bility, relieves mental anxiety and
hypochondria, and promotes refresh
ing sleep.

I
Inrellectual Character.
CLAYTON T. OANN.
The desire and the duty of this
age is education, or that culture
which develops, and enricheB each
individual according to the measure
of his capacity by familiarizing him
with the facts and the laws of hum
an nature.
No person can be called educated
until lie I.as systematized his
knowledge and can wield it as a
weapon.
Intellectual character is the last
and highest risult of intellectual
education, and the indispensible
condition of intellectual success.
It is evident that when a young
man leaves school to take his place
in the world, he must lie something
as well as know something ; and it
will rcqnire but little experience to
prove to him that what he knows is
little more thun what he reully is.
The moment he comes in contact
with the stern and stubborn real
ities which frown over his entrance
into practical life, he will discover
that power is the soul of knowledge,
and character the condition of in
telligence.
He will also discover that intellec
tual success depends primarily on
the qualities which arc not strictly
intellectual, but rather personal and
constitutional.
The test of success is influence.
In every act of earnest thinking the
extent of the thought depends on
the pleasure of the will, and the
culture of this power is one of the
requirements of intellectual success,
for it gives that discipline of the
individual which develops dim ten
dencies into positive sentiments and
sentiments into ideas in such a way
as to penetrate one through and
through with the qualities of man
hood.
This is intellectual character, and
the first great question to be answer
ed by every young man who has
passed through the course of in
struction called education, is,
What do you intend to be, and
what do you intend to do ?
Do you propose to play at living,
or do you propose to live ?
No varnish and veneer of scholar
ship, no command of Rhetoric can
ever make you a positive force in the
world.
Book around you in the commu
nity of educated men, and see how
many who started on their career
with minds as bright and eager, and
hearts as hopeful as yours, have
been mysteriously arressed in their
growth, have lost all the kindling
sentiments which once glorified
their youthful studies, and dwindle
into mere echoes of surrounding
mediorcrity, have begun, indeed to
die on the very threshold of man
hood, and stand in society as tombs
rallier than temples of immortal
souls.
See to the wide distance between
knowledge and life ; heaps of infor
mation piled upon little heads;
everybody speaking, but few who
have tlic right to speak.
Now this disposition to shirk the
serious requirements of intellectual
growth in an indolent surrender of
the minds power of self-direction,
must bo overcome at the out set, or
in spite of our grand generalities, we
will be at the mercy of every bully
ing lie, and shape our life in accord
ance with every low motive.
All solid intellectual culture is
simply the right development of
individuality into its true intellect
ual form.
amt by individuality i
What is
for Lite word is commonly used to
signify some peculiarity or unreas
onable twist of the mind or dispo
sition.
An individual in the sense in
which we use the term, is an inner
torue who lives, grows and builds up
his nature in time. All the object of
sense and thought, ull facts and
ideas, are external to him.
But he lias bound up in his being
sympathies and capacities which
connect him witli external objectsi
and enable him to transmit their
inner spirit nnd substance into his
own personal life.
Tlie progress of his growth there
fore is a development of power from
within to assimilate objects from
without, and result of this assimila
tion is character. The principal
characteristic of man, is a desire to
know.
Success in all the departments of j
life over which the intellect holds
dominion, depends upon the growth
of the mind.
Take the good farmer, and you
wifi find that ideas in him are en
dowed with will and he can work.
Take a good statesman, like Web
I ster, and note how by thoroughly in
dividualizing his comprehensive ex
perience, he seems to carry a notion
in his brow.
This process of developing man
hood and building up the mind
while the person is in search of a
definite object of intelligence is nl
ways in danger, however, of making
the student a mere machine, which
though it may turn out prodigus of
memory, will be sure'to leave them
little men ; and the moment they
come in contact with a really live
man, they will find their souls in
wardly wither, and their boasted ac
quisition full away before the evi
dence of his intellectual power.
If on the contrary, they are guid
ed by good or great sentiments,
which are the souls of great or good
ideas, these sentiments will be sure
to form the basis of positive intellec
tual character.
But let them once lose their love
for their occupation in life, and they
will find that labor will degenerato
into drudgery, and drudgery will
weaken the power to labor.

A Barrenite wants to Sell His
Cow.
Owing to my ill health I will sell
at my residence in East Nottingham
according to government survey,
one plush-raspberry colored cow,
aged 8 years. She is a good milk
er, and not afraid of the cars (nor
anything else.) She is a cow of un
daunted courage, and gives milk fre
quently. To a man who don't fear
death in any form she would be a
boom. She is greatly attached to
iter home, at the present, l>y a trace
chain, hut site will lie sold to any
one who will agree to treat her right.
She is one-fourth shorthorn ami
three-fourths hyena. I will also
thro / in a double-barrelled

which goes with lier. In May she
generally goes away soin .where for
a week or two, anil returns with a

Her name is Hose, and I prefer to
sell her to a non-resident.
