The great success ot the Royal Baking Powder is due to the extreme care exercised by its manufacturers to make it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the highest leavening power. All the scientihe knowledge, care and skill, attained by a twenty years' practical experience are con tributed toward this end, and no pharmaceutical preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, precision and exactness. Every article used is absolutely pure. A number of chemists are employed to test the strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combina tion with its co-ingredients are definite ly known. Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person is employed in the preparation of the materials used or the manufacture of the powder, who is not an expert m his particular branch of the business. As a conse quence, the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest grade of excellence, always pure, wholesome and uniform in quality. The contents of each box are exactly like every other, and will retain their powers and produce the same and the highest leavening effect in any climate, at any time. The Government Chemists, after having analized all the principal brands in the market, in their reports placed the Royal Baking Powder at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness, and thousands of tests all over the country have further de monstrated the fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivalled.

A Member of the Distinguished Rhinolandor Family Takes Another Erratic Step. A waitress has married a Rhine lander, a member of one of New York's oldest, richest and most distin guished families, and society is duly indignant. The bridegroom is William Copeland Rhinelander and the bride Juliette Kathleen Maier. Mr. Rhinelander makes his home away from the city, at the desire of his relatives, who keep him in cash to the extent of $100 a week, but ten days ago he established himself in a furnished room in Twenty-fourth street. A convenient restaurant was in Twenty-third street, and there Mr. Rhinelander went to dine. He was waited upon by a genteel young woman with an abundance of black hair and glowing dark eyes. The diner looked at the waitress, then looked at her again. He spoke to her, she answered, and her voice was pleasant to hear. He returned to the restaurant for his next meal, and went there many times, always contriving to get the services of the young woman with the hair and eyes and voice. She told him she was Juliette Maier, that she was 22 years old and that she lived with her widowed mother, an elder brother and a little sister, at No. 232 East Twenty first street. She may have mentioned that her brother, William, who is 25 years old, is employed in a down-town wholesale house and is an artist of no mean ability ; also that her father, Richard J. Maier, was for many years a cutlery manufacturer in this city, but left little property when he died. She might also have said that blue blood ran in her veins, her great grandfather on her mother's side hav ing been Baron Henry, George von Bigle, of Baden-Baden, a rich and powerful man of his time. In return for these confidences the interested listener, Mr. Rhinelander, may have mentioned that years ago he had taken to wife a housemaid in his fatner's family, and that a divorce followed, and possibly he narrated other episodes in his somewhat un usual career. But whether or not he spoke of these things, it is certain that he did of love, and he asked Juliette to become his bride. After some solicitation and court ing always in the restaurant they journeyed a few days ago to the Little Church Around lhe Corner and were married. This is the same Rhinelander who, some years ago came to Bloomsburg with his wife, and after stopping at the Exchange Hotel a short time, took rooms at the Sanitarium, then kept by Dr. Shattuck. The Rhine landers were the subjects of much gossip at that time. Prof. Coles, the weather DroDhet. in his Storm and Signals, gives the fol lowing lor December : "Rejoice and be glad, for High Flood days rule the month of December.
