The favor with which the new breed,
made with Hoyal Baking Powder la
etead of yeast, has beenracelved hy our
best housekeepers and most expert
bread makers is really wonderful. "It
savef 11 the hard and tedious work of
knea tig and moulding," writes one.
"Less than an hour from the dry flour
to the most perfect loaf of bread I ever
saw," writes another. "Fresh bread
everyday," says another," "and that
the lightest, finest and most Wholesome
is something to live for." "We relish
the bread better than the old kind;"
"It is ahead of any yeast bread I ever
baked;" "The bread was whiter and
softer." "Best of all," writes an en
thusiastic housewife, "we can eat the
Royal unfermented bread when freshly
baked, or even when warm, with per
fect impunity. It is actually an anti
dyspeptic" "This bread has a "nutty" taste that
is peculiarly pleasing," still writes an
other. This is owing to the fact that
the active gas-producing principle of
the Royal is derived from the pure
grape acid.
The great value of this bread arises
from the fact that in it are preserved
all the most nutritive elements of the
flour, some of which are decomposed
and destroyed by the action of yeast.
The loss of these properties 'makes
fresh yeast bread unwholesome. The
use of the Royal Baking Powder in
stead of yeast, is found to make a finer,
lighter bread, devoid of all dyspeptic
qualities. The same gas carbonic is
produced as where yeast is used, but it
is evolved from the baking powder it
self and not from the flour. Thereby
the bread is made more wholesome and
actually anti-dyspeptic The greater
convenience where a batch of the finest
bread can be made and baked in less
than an hour with no danger of a sour
or heavy loaf, must be appreciated by
every one.
The receipt for making this bread is
herewith given, and housekeepers will
do well to cut it out and preserve it.
To make one loaf : One quart flour,
1 teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonful
sugar, a heaping teaspoonful Royal
Baking Powder, half medium-sized cold
boiled potato, and water. Sift together
thoroughly flour, salt, sugar, and bak
ing powder; rub in the potato; add suffi
cient water to mix smoothly and rap
idly into a stiff batter, about as soft as
for pound cake; about a pint of water
to a quart of flour will be required
more or less, according to the brand
and quality of the flour used. Do not
make a stiff dough, like yeast bread.
Pour the batter into a greased pan,
4x8 inches, and 4 inches deep, tilling
about half full. The loaf will rise to
fill the pan when baked. Bake in very
hot oven 45 minutes, plaeing paper over
first fifteen minutes baking-, to prevent
crusting too soon on top. Ba'te at once.
Don't mix with milk.
Perfect success requires the most care
ful observance of all these details, and
the author of the receipt emphasizes
the statement that Royal Baking Pow
der only can be used because it is the
only powder in which the ingredients
are prepared so as to give that continu
ous action necessary to raise the larger
breadjoaf.
To every reader who will write the re
sult of her bread making from this re
ceipt to the Royal Baking Powder Co. , 106
Wall Street, New York, that company
announce that they will send in return,
free, a copy of a most practical and use
ful cook book, containing one thousand
receipts for all kinds of baking, cook
ing, etc. Mention this paper.

April Forum: Institutions working
with the support of well known names
in England, working with the advan
tage of real knowledge of what is pass
ing in business in the United States,
possess the essential elements of suc
cess. The anxious and depressed con
dition of our money market perhaps
explains why for something like two
years there has been hardly any large
introduction of any "American railway
projects on our market. It Is scarcely
too much to say that on the character
of the new securities which may in the
near future be forwarded for negotia
tion, the position of American stocks as
investments will for some considerable
time depend. Should the newcomers
be first rate they will meet with a ready
reception. More than this, they will
assist to dispel any feeling of anxiety
as to the action of Americans with re
spect to the currency laws of their
country. Tho securities should be
marked, beyond the shadow of a doubt,
as "gold" "securities. Furthermore,
they should be of a character to rank
with the best that have yet made their
appearance among us.
A Scientist's Courtship.
An interesting story has recently
been told about the late Sir George
Airy, the famous astonomer royal, and
his courtship. By reason of his timid
ity he seemed doomed to be a bachelor
for life. But fortune favored him, and
he drifted into matrimony in an unex
pected way. An intimate friend ob
served to him one day, "Have you ever
observed Miss 's eyes? They have
uiu property vi uuuure iwwv.iiuu.
"Dear me, that is very odd," ho ex
claimed. "I should like to see that; do
you think I might venture to call?"
And call he did, and begged permis
sion to examine the young lady's eyes.
The novelty of the situation may have
fascinated him. At any rate ho begged
the privilege of a second call to look at
the eyes in a clearer light. The prob
lem grew so interesting that he finally
come to the conclusion to make it a life
study. The boldness born of scientific
curiosity enabled him ultimately to pro
pose. He was accepted, and the strange
courtship ended in a happy marriage.

Corn and Sorghum.
The question is often asked as to the
comparative value of corn and sorghum.
In answering a question of this kind
the Breeder's Gazette of March 22, re
ports that at the New Jersey Experi
ment Station, in 1884, Prof. Cooke
conducted an experiment in which one
lot of dairy cows was fed sorghum si
lage with a certain grain ration, and
another lot of cows fed corn silage with
the same grain ration as the first lot.
The conclusions from the trial were-as
follows: When fed corn silage the av
erage daily milk yield per cow!was 25.9
pounds; when fed sorghum silage the
average daily milk yield was 25.7
pounds. In this trial the results were
nracticallv the same with the corn and
sorghum. Sorghum can be grown suc
cessfully far beyond the limits of the
corn belt, and is highly prized by feed
ers who have learned how to use it.

1 PLEASANT ROOMMATE.
I am a plain, honest lawyer, and be
fore a certain young man moved into
ray double office, my reputation was
spotless. He moved in for the ostensi
ble purpose of sharing the expense of
rent. Ho was a nice-looking young
man aud had a fair exterior. The day
following his arrangement with me he
moved in. That is, he appeared in per
son. Otherwise he dWl not have much
to move. But poverty is no crime,
and I took a fancy to him on account
of his principles. It is so pleasant to
meet some one nowadays with princi
ples. He had plenty of them and it
did me good to listen to him. "A law
yer," he would say, "baS no right to
defend a criminal when he is guilty,"
and, although I did not agree with him,
I respected bis extreme virtues. When
he showed me a membership ticket for
the Y. M. C. A. I congratulated myself
upon having such a righteous room
mate. There was a marked peculiarity
nhmit nnr iwinir in the same office to
gether. People said that we resembled
each other in personal appearance,
which I construed as a compliment to
me.
He worked up a good business at
once, for only a week after he entered
the office he had a case. . Other cases
followed, and at the same time, singu
larly enough, my practice decreased.
When the first month's rent was due
he hit me on the back in his hearty,
familiar fashion, and said: "You pay
this month, old man, and I will next.'
As that was fair I did so.- One day,
when alone in the office, I was ponder
ing upon the vicissitudes of fate and
the scarcity of fees when a man rushed
into the office in an unceremonious
manner and stood glaring at me. Re
joiced over what seemed to be the im
mediate prospect of a client in pursuit
of a dishonest partner or a wife who
had eloped, 1 assumed a soft. Insinuating
smile and politely waved him to a
chair. My courteous invitation was de
clined, and the man, taking a step
nearer, exclaimed: "Scoundrel!"
I presumed that he was referring to
some one who had injured him and
from whom he desired redress in the
courts, and so laughed in a conciliatory
maimer.
"Come, come, my dear sir, you must
not give way in tills manner," I said.
"Calm yourself, I beg of you."
"Ah, vou dare Jest?" he cried. 'But
you shall settle with me, sir. Do you
know Maggie Kllen?"
It chanced that I did know the young
woman, who lived In our neighborhood.
I responded in the affirmative and add
ed something about her being a very
charming girl. "And now, sir," I said
tartlv, "will vou tell me who you are?
He drew himself up as though about
to impart startling information. "I
am Maggie's best fellow, or at least I
was before you came along and alien
ate her affections from me."
"What?"
-Alienated her affections.
"I?"
"You! The corner grocer
nil .-lbnut it: how you used
told me
to meet
Maggie everv night ear his store aud
take her to the theater and other
places. Maggie was contented enough
until vou came along; and then I be
gan to see a change that I coiddu t
account for until tho grocer told me
about you, and now Fin going to wipe
the flt'or with you."
I started to argue the matter with
him In mv most persuasive professional
style, but he resorted to the tactics of
the ring and proceeded to cany out
literally his hist statement. My sen
sations the next few moments were
those of a man f ailing from a balloon
or going through a thrashing machine.
When I recovered he had departed;
mv coat was torn; a chair was broken;
pens, papers and books were scattered
here and there, and the office looked
as though it had been struck with a
cvclone. "Upon my word," I thought,
raising myself on my elbow in the cor-
ller
of the room, "a strange visuui;
. .ion mir mnmmaie came
in ne te
pressed the greatest sympathy, and so
genuine were uis ""-y ----that
I seized his hand gratefully and
said: "Thanks, dear boj-, thanks! You
are a friend, indeed."
After that mishaps came thick and
fast. I seemed to be a special mark
for the cruel shafts of fate. One day
a gentleman whom I had never seen
before came into the office and accused
me of having cheated him at a game of
poker. IHs claim was that I had two
aces in my sleeve. Now, as I never
plav poker nor gambled in my life,
this was remarkably strange. I told
hlui that the festive game had no at
tractions for me and he stared at me
t., omiTomonf. TIc admitted that he
was rather "under the shadow of the
vine" the night before, but that his per
ceptions were perfectly clear and that
I had bevond a doubt swindled him in
a gentleman's game out of ?157, which
I had better return at once. I retorted
that I did not know a flush from a full
and I had never sat in a jack pot in my
life, at which he looked unutterable
eco nit
"Then you refuse to return your ill
gotten gains?" he asked.
"I certainly do."
"Very well; you will hear from me.
And I did. The story got around that
I played a crooked game of poker, and.
although I carried myself with the
bearing of a man who is innocent, I
could see that I was regarded with sus
picion. Even, the young lady, whose
companv I was keeping at the time,
apparently knew something, for one
night she said, with a twinkle in her
eye: "Do vou piny poker, Tom?" Of
course I denied that I did, at which she
looked grave and added: "Pshaw!,
"What's the use of denying it? Why,
do vou know, I I play sometimes my-
Naturally I expressed my horror at
this confession, and told her that I
hoped she would reform and that I did
not approve of young girls playing
cards. Then she actually winked: "Oh,
you are too good," she remarked. "Say,
how did you do it?"
"What?"
"Keen those cards up your sleeve?
Please tell me. The girls have been
winning my spending money lately nd
I want revenge. Show me the trick,
Tnm nnil Til mnrrv vou next June."
I responded indignantly, and told her
that I was a memoer or me auu
Poker society. She said "Bosh," and
when I got up to leave she refused to
permit me to cull from her sweet liis
the customary parting salute. The mis
guided young woman "actually thought
that I was trying to conceal ray in
iquities from her. But there was worse
to follow. -A few nights later when I
called she greeted me with marked
coldness. Thl3 I attributed to mere
feminine caprice, and so chatted awny
in a happv manner about various mat
ters to which she listened with a sar
castic smile upon her adorable face.
Bat I was accustomed to doing most of
the talking and she the listening, so
that her persistent silence did not seem
at aU remarkable. Among other topics
I broached was a description of a tem
perance meeting I had attended a few
nights before. I am a teetotaller in
very sense of the word, and I stated
proudly that I had been elected sec
retary of the new organization. Then
her pretty mouth assumed an expres
sion of scorn.
"Oh, you hypocrite!" she said.
"My darling!" I cried In amazement
"Don't call me your darling," she re
torted with fkishing eyes. "I've had a
talk with papa, and he says everything
must le off."
"Everything off?"
"Yes, our engagement. He saw you
last night. He said that you" sob
"were standing on the street corner"
sob "with your hat in your hand"
sob "lidding the lamppost with the
other" sob '.'and singing about" sob
" 'We won't go home till morning' "
sob.
I started in amazement. "My dear
Lucinda, there is some horrid mistake.
Last night I attended a meeting at our
Stmday school and"
Here she -wiped away the tears and
assumed her indignant attitude once
more. "Don't make me hat jou," she
said. "Why don't you confess aud
well, I know boys will be boys, and,
if you said you would never do it again,
why, perhaps, I might overlook this
one fault and and forgive you "
I sprang to my feet in anger. "I
have been slandered and "
"Is that your reply?" she asked, frig
idly. "It is."
"Then there is nothing more to be
said."
With that she took the ring from
her pretty linger and handed It to me.
"Good evening, sir."
I bowed myself out in despair. So
all was over? Those visions of a neat
little home were lost forever. The
next morning when my roommate pre
sented himself I fancied that he looked
tired and sleepy. He explained this
by saying that he had been up all
night with a bad headache. He no
ticed my melancholy appearance, and.
when I told him all about it, he again
offered his sympathy and remarked
in a Jocular manner: "Never mind,
my boy. There are just as good tish
in the sea as have ever been caught.
I told him there was only one Lucinda,
but he shrugged his shoulders. He
then went out to attend a case in court,
and I seated myself iu a disconsolate
manner in my easy chair in the Inner
office. I had slept little to speak of l
the night before and nature asserted i
itself in spite of my heartache. I dozed ,
off. After a time I was aroused by
voices In the outer office and heard a
woman ask for me.
"He is not in." was the reply of my ,
roommate, aud I was about to step out j
when a few words that followed arrest- i
ed my attention and I remained where i
I was, listening. "If you have come
on legal business, madam, I will an
swer your imrpose just as well. I am
authorized to act for him. 1 am his
partner as you see by 1113- name on the
door." His words tilled me with amaze
ment. "Be seated, madam, and suite
your case." The visitor did so and he
listened with the greatest complacency,
offering a suggestion here and there
and occasionally asking a question.
When she had finished, he remarked:
"1. think you have a good case." In
this I knew he was wrong. The case
was a bad one and no conscientious
lawyer would have touched It.
"Then would you advise 1110 to take
the matter to the courts?" she asked.
"I would. It would be foolish to set
tle." "When she was about to leave she
asked "What are your charges?"
"Twenty-five dollars retainer fee and
fifty more if we win."
She took out her purse and gave him
the money. "You are really to be con
gratulated, madam, that you found me
in instead of my partner," he continued.
"He is one of those unscrupulous law
yers who always lose their cases. Now,
always win because I am full of re
sources. Ha, ha! I am just smart
enough to dodge all technicalities. That
partner of nihie is such a conscientious
idiot that I think I shall have to break
with him. 1 hato to do it, for the poor
fellow would not make a living if I"
Here 1 broke hi upon them. The
scene that followed beggared descrip
tion, as Avriters say, and so I will not
describe it. Now I understood why my
practice had decreased. It also Hashed
across my mind that all my trouble
lately was iu some way connected with
him. We looked alike and I soar
everything! For a mouth I had lieen
paying the penalty of his misdeeds.
I had been vigorously handled by Mag
gie's best fellow on his account; it was
he whom the father of my Lucinda had
seen holding up the lamp post ; the prin
cipal figure in the gentlemanly game of
poker had been this exemplary young
man. I rushed into the outer office,
and, after a vigorous sccue, this young
man took his departure, and I have
never lieard of him since. It was six
mouths, however, before I agaiu won
the regards of Lucinda. I have an
office all to myself. Even now people
are running there with bills contracted
by him. and somehow they look upon
nie as his partner in crime. Detroit

The delicate flowers of true woman
liness may be overgrown and hidden
by the briers of ignorance and degrada
tion, yet fliey will, upou occasion, ap
pear in pure aud undimmed beauty.
It was in the far away tropic isle of
Hawaii and the sun was shining bright
ly. The scene was one of native gran
deur. Great trees towered aloft to the
sky. Boa constrictors and ostriches
gamboled over the landscape, adding
a clement of ;miination. It was amid
such surroundings that two savage la
dies wandered aimlessly.
"Pretty warm day," observed the one
who wore a brass ring In her nose.
"Awfully hot," acquiesced her com
panion, whose arms were daubed a
delicate olive green.
Thus beguiling the time in conversa
tion they loitered until a lion, with big
bristling side whiskers, came in sight.
'We." the female with the riug
gasped feebly, "are lost."
"Xo, no." exclaimed she of the green
anus. "If we say nothing we are safe."
It was a desperate alternative. It
was a test of endurance from which
even the tried hearts of the forest
daughters shrank in fear. Two min
utes elapsed. The lion saimtered with
a deliberation that fro- their blood.
Three minutes of sileuoo and anguish
had slipped into the past. The sus
pense was dreadful. The lion stopped
and wagged his tail meditatively. The
strain was too great. "I must" the
woman with a ring in her nose ecstatic
ally seized the green arm of her sister
of tlie jungle "tell you about that
paint sale."
"Oh. do!"
Of course they were both eaten. But
that is neither here nor there. The
contention is that the delicate flowers
of true womanliness may be overgrown
and hidden by the briers of ignorance
and degradation, yet they will upon oc
casion appear in undimmed beauty.

A certain small Tom was going out
to lunehen .by invitation, says tho New
York Timas. His mother was anxious
he should behave well, but wisely re
calling that simplicity is the esseneo of
all true politeness, gave him but one
.caution: "Act, Tom, as if you were at
home; take what you want with a 'les,
please,' and decline anything with a
polite 'No, thank you;' be as honest as
at our own table" trusting that with
his confidence established the continual
home sowing of precept and example
would bear its fruit. At night Tom rc
ported results. "I guess I did all. right,
mo:her,-"he said, "though I got a laugh
on me once." "What was that?" in
quired his mother. "Well, wc had
baked apples, and when it came my
turn to be served Mrs. C. said: 'And
now, Tom, which apple do you want?"
"You told her of course," interpolated
his mother, as the boy hesitated a little.
"You know I have often explained that
it is good manners to give a choice when
one is asked." "Yes, mother, I told
her, and that was the laugh. I said:
'The one I want is gone.' "
