Crying and wishing the sky was clear,
And roses again on the lattice twining!
Ah, well, remember, my foolish dear,
" 'Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shining!”
When the world is bright and fair and gay,
And glad birds sing in the fair June Weather,
And summer is gathering, night and day,
Her golden chalice of sweets together;
When blue seas answer the sky above,
And bright stars follow the day’s declining,
Why, then, ’tls no merit to smile, my love;
“ ’Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shining!”-
Bnt this is the time the heart to test,
When winter is near and storms are howling,
And the earth from under her frozen vest
Looks up at the and sky mute and scowilug;
The brave little spirit should rise to meet
The season’s gloom and the day's repinlug;
And this is the time to be glad, for, sweet,
" ’Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shiniugl”

“Never did I know anything so
ridiculous in my life i” exclaimed Mrs.
Spence, angrily. “The idea of asking
a little chit like Nelle to .a ball because
Lord Wilton happened to meet her in a
train."
“ Nella was eighteen last Monday, so
I suppose she is old enough," said
Elizabeth, the eldest daughter; "but I
really think she must have behaved very
improperly, or Lord Wilton never would
have spoken to her."
“Of course she must; but as the
countess makes such a point of it, I am
afraid we must let her go. ”
“I can tell you what, momma, will be
the best plan," and Clara looked up
eagerly. “Dress her as if she were
a child in the school-room, and then
nobody will notice her at all. A few
yards of white tulle over a muslin skirt
won't cost very much, and it needn't
have any trimming, except a little on
the body. "
This was agreed to, and soon after
luncheon Mrs. Speneeand her daughters
started for Canterbury, to inspect the
two ball dresses which had been
ordered long ago from the best dress-
maker, and to purchase the simple
materials for the one that was to be
made at home.
Eleanor Lestrange was an orphan
niece, who had been received into the
household much against the will of her
two cousins. She had two hundred a
year of her own, and a lovely face, so
she might be considered a dangerous
rival by the girls. But there was no
thought of rivalry in her gentle breast
as she strolled down the shrubbery and
across the paddock into the cool woods
of Wilton Hall. Her eyes were full of
tears, for her cousins had been very
rude to her about that little episode .in
the train a month ago, when Lord
Wilton, the eldest son of the Earl and
countess of Canterbury, had come to
her assistance, and saved her from the
impertinence of a fellow traveller.
She sat down at the foot of a gnarled
oak, from which there was a lovely view
through the branches of the trees, and
resting her head on her hand, fell into
the saddest thoughts possible for youth.
No one wanted her in her new home.
Mrs. Spence did not understand her;
the girls were jealous of her. Even a
proper dress for the countess’s ball had
been denied her, and she would go to it
looking like a country dowdy.
Oh, if her own idolized father,
Colonel Lestrange, were only alive, or
she lay at rest at his side in the quiet
churchyard at Beverley!
"Miss Lestrange I" The soft, rich
voice startled her from her melancholy .
dreams, and she looked up to see Lord
Wiltonstanding before her with his
fishing rod in his hand. “How glad I
am Icame this way!" throwing down
his encumbrance and seating himself on
the grass at her feet. “Do you know
that I have done nothing but think of
you from morning till night?" looking
up into her fair face with his bold, blue
eyes.
“Then you have wasted your time
shockingly," trying to appear at her
case
“ Don’t you derscrve it more than the
dogs or horses 1‘”
“ No, I'm not half so usefu .”
“Nor half so nice, I presume. But
what is the matter? You’ve been cry-
ing I"
“It was nothing," growing crimson“
“only__n
“Only what ?" creeping up closer to
-her side. “Have they been bullying
you P” a fierce light in his eyes, as if he
would have liked to bully them.
” No."
"‘What then ?” They are not going
to prevent you from coming to our
dance ?"
“No, I'm coming; bu
trembling.
‘ ' But what ?” his eyes looking straight
into here and compelling her to answer.
“ I am going to have such a horrible
dress."
“Come in the one you’ve got on,”
looking down at her pink cambric,
and you’ll cut out all the rest. Mind,
the first dance is for me." ,
“I shall look such a fright that I
shall hide in a corner,” her heart
fluttering at something in his eyes.
“ Then I shall come and drag you out..
But what's the matter with the dress?
It isn't green, is it ?"
“No, 'white; but oh, so terribly
simple! Just like a child’s."
“And so much the better,” with a
look of relief. “You will look likes
sweet little snowdrop among them all."
He bent over her; and clasping her
hand in his. raised it to his tawny
mustache. She snatched it from him,
and sprang to her feet likea startled
fawn, a vivid crimson dying her cheeks
with "a sudden glow.
“Nelle ?" he cried, jumping up as
quickly as his long legs would let him ;
but she was gone, and only a distant
flutter of pink could bcseen through
the trees.
“Here'sa basket for you Eleanor,"
said her aunt. coming out of the draw-
ing room with a flushed face, as she
went down stairs. “It hasjust been
brought over from Wilton by one of
Lord Canterbury's grooms. Iamsure
there's some mistake about it, but you
must open it, as it is addressed to you.”
With eager fingers Nella undid the
fusieniugs, raised the lid, and removed
layers of cotton wool and silver paper.
Thena cry of diser burst from her
lips. An exquisite bouquet of white
flowers lay inside, with a lovely wreath,
to be pinned on the shoulder and hang
down to the skirt. Lord Wilfon's card,
“ with his compliments," was pinned on
to the first.
”Oh, aunt, isn’t it beautiful?"
exclaimed Nella, ecstatically, but Mrs.
Spence walked out of the room with a
thunder-cloud on her brow.
At dinner it seemed as if a storm was
brewing, but‘Nella had great difficulty
in keeping still, for her innocent young
heart was brimming over with joy. He
had thought of her among all his fine
friends, and remembering her simple
dress without trimming.
“Eleanor, I want to speak to you,"
said her aunt sharply, as desert was
" her lips
over; “come intothe draping-room."
Nelle followed in a fright. Mrs‘
Spence had not been particularly kind
to her, but she could not be so wicked
as to prevent her going to the ball. Her
heart nearly stopped beating at the
thought.
“I have been thinking the matter
over,” said Mrs. Spence gravely, as she
seated herself on the sofa, that it will be
better for you not to wear those flowers
to-night.”
“Not wear them?" her brown eyes
opening wide in dismay.
“No; we consider that you must
have behaved in a forward and unlady-
like manner in order to induce Lord
Wilton to take such a liberty as to send
them! We do not blame him, but we
blame you, because, of course, a man
will always do that sort of thing if a
girl encourages him. "
“I never encouraged him," stamping
her foot.
“Yes, my dear Eleanor, you did. He
has known Elizabeth and Clara ever
since he wasa boy, but he has never
taken such a liberty with them. Now
don’t cry, you will spoil your appear-
once.”
“ I don't care.
at all."
"Nonsense, child, you must. Go up
stairs to your room and compose your-
self, and I'll send out into the garden
for a rose. "
Nelle went up stairs, but there her
obedience ended, for she threw herself
on her bed and burst into a passion of
tears. There she was still when Clara
knocked at her door and asked if she
might have the boquet as it would go so
well with her dress.
"‘Good gracious, Nell, the carriage
will be round in half an hour," she
cried in dismay, as she went out of the
room with the flowers in her hand.
As soon as she was gone, Nella got up
and bathed her eyes with ecu-de-
Cologne, arranged her sunny hair with
the utmost care, and scrambled into her
dress with the housemaid’s help. Then
3118 tossed aside the red rose which her
aunt had sent her, and detaching -a
lovely white bud and spray of lilies
from the wreath, pinned them on her
shoulder.
Mrs. Spence noticed the change when
she came down stairs, but thought it
best to make no remark, lest another
burst of tears might be the consequence.
The two sisters looked gorgeous, but
nothing could make them look pretty;
while Nelle, in -her simple dress cut
them out completely.
Her heart beat very fast as they were
marshaled through - the spacious ball
into the brilliantly lighted room where
Lady Canterbury was standing to re-
ceive her guests.
The countess gave her a pleasant
smile and a hearty shake of the hand,
then Nella slipped behind her cousins,
casting a shy glance around. She had
never been in such a splendid scene
before, and the flash of jewels on every
side seemed to dazzle her.
Mr. Uppleton, a tall curate, came up
and talked to Elizabeth. Mr; Mcdwuy,
a young barrister, asked Clara after her
brother, but no one noticed Nella.
Presently there was a movement in.
the throng, and a pair of broad shoulders
crowned by a handsome face, came in
sight. As Lord Wilton shook hands
with the Spences, the Band struck up
Buccalossi’s lovely waltz, “Alan Amour,”
and, with a certain bright smile, he
bowed low to a certain little form in
the background, and said witha smile,—-
“ Thisia our dance, Miss Lestrange. ”
The curate started; Mr. Midwayput
up his eye-glass, while the sisters grew
pale with jealousy.
“ Where areomy flowers?" said Lord
Wilton, as he led his partner into the
ball-room.
I wont go to the ball
“Here!” looking. down ,at her
shoulder.
“Only those! But where are the
rest? Why did you give them away i’”
' u I didn't." '
“ Do you mean to say they took
them ?" the fierce fire returning to his
eyes. She did not answer, but her lip
trembled '
“ Never mind," he said, more gently,
“they can’t take you from me."
Then he put his arm around her waist
and they floated together around the
room, the lights reflected in countless
mirrors, the sweetest music in their ears
and a delicious happiness stealing from
heart to heart. To Nella it was like a
delightful dream, from which she would
be sure to wake in another minute.
When the happy dance was over,
Lord Wilton introduced her to his
cousin, the Duke of Portsmouth, a very
grand young man with a diamond
solitaire as big as a. sixpence.
Toward the end of the evening, Clara
came up to her mother and asked her
if she wouldn't tell Eleanor that it was
time to go home.
" Certainly, my dear.
know where she is ?”
“ With Lord Wilton again," lowering
her voice. “ Isn’t it atrocious?”
Mrs. Spence shook her head and
sighed.
Q... .0”
“You cried before you came to-
night," said Lord Wilton, softly, as they
sat together under the drooping branches
of-n yellow rose in the conservatory.
"Don't deny it, I saw it in your eyes.
Was it because they took away my
flowers ?”
“ Partly,” her lashes drooping on her
blushing cheeks.
“ Why did they take them i"
"Aunt said I oughtn't to have allowed
you to send them," her bosom heaving
as she thought of her wrongs.
"But I never asked you."
“No ; but-she thonght—I—"he'sitat-
ing and crimson. “She didn't blame
you."
“I see, she thought you had been
flirting,” his eyes twinkling. “ Did you
tell her that it didn't matter one brass
farthing if you had?”
“No."
“Neill; do you . love me 1’" No
answer. “Do you know that I can't
get along without my little snowdrop?
Do you know that I shall shoot myself
if you won’t be my little wife? Nella,
look at me !"
One shy fluttering glance, when the
fluttering heart seemed to shine out of
the glowing eyes, and then her head
drooped on his shoulder and his
mustache swept her cheek.
“ Eleanor !"
The roses were swept aside by a.
hasty hand, and Clara Spence stood
transfixed by the sight before her. In-
stead of being in the least abashed,
Lord Wilton raised his head with a
sunny smile.-
“Ah, Miss Spence, you have just
come in time. Let me introduce you to
my future wife !"

AN ENGINE’S TERRIBLE RUN.
A railroad accident occurred on Meta
Mountain, recently, by which Pat McCool
lost his life, and which resulted in the dem-
olition of several freight cars and n on.
boose. The train was cut at the little stu-
tion at Saugrc de Cristo Creek, on the west
side of the Sangrc dc Criato range, being
too heavy for the engine to take up the
grade. The first half was switched on the
summit and the engine started to return for
the purpose of bringing up the rear cars.
As the engine started back, the forward-
geur eccentric broke, totally disabling the
’ left side, while the strain on the machinery
threw the lifter on the right side out of
shape, than putting the locomotive entirely
beyond the control of the engineer. Tiler-5
was nothing to control it by. Realizing at
once the impending danger, the engineer
told the fireman and brakeinau to jump
off, and began to whistle of brakes.
to the conductor and brukeman on\ the
l' train down the mountain. The engine
was then about three-quarters of a mile
from the rear part. of the train, its rate
of speed in descending increasing every
minute. . . ~
The men below did not understand the
signal, and it was not until the engine was
within one-quarter of a mile from the cars
that the danger was observed. The con-
ductor hurried the passengers out of the ca-
boosc and let ofi‘ the brakes. All the per-
sons on the train got oil‘ except a drunken
laborer named Pat McCool. He refused to
move, and there was no time to move him
by force, so the caboose and cars, the
brakes being let loose, darted down the
mountain, pursued by the flying engine.
Behind the caboose, and of course in front
of the train as it shot down the mountain,
were two handcars. Going round the
curve at Sangre de Cristo tank, the grade 4
being 217 feet to the mile and the momen-
tum very rapid, the hand-cars left the track
and ditched the-cnboose, the freight cars
pushing hard behind, swinging the caboose
around and passing by going into the ditch
beyond and on the other side. This left
the caboose half on the track and only
partly on its side. The engine came tear-
ing along at a terrible speed, and, when
about forty yards from the caboose, the en-
gineer jumped off, followed by ville fireman
and brnkcntan, who until then refused to
leave him. Just at this moment the drunk-
en laborer came staggering out on the
rear platform of the caboose, and was
crushed between the engine and the ca-
boost: into an ultumt unrecognizable mass.

LONDON STREET ACCIDENTS.
The news of a military engagement in
which 4, 000 of our troops had been wounded
would produce a feeling of the deepest mel-
ancholy, but the intelligence that, during
the last year, no less than 3,961 persons
have been injured by accidents in the Lon-
don streets will be quietly accepted as a
piece of curious statistical information. To
be run over by a cab or knocked down by a
butcher‘s cart affords no title to the sympa-
thy of' your fellow-men. Such casualties
have become so completely a part of our
daily life that they have lost any pictur-
esque element they might at one time have
possessed. When bicycles were first intro.
dueed the novelty of the danger did indeed
serve for awhile to give a certain interest to
street accidents. The world was wearied of
being injured by ordinary “vehicles, but to
be wounded by abicycle was a new expe-
rience, of which numbers of persons has-
tened to take advantage. . Considering the
spirit with which these ingenious machines
were at first employed, it is uhuost disap-
pointing to find how small a bag the bicycle
riders have made during the past twelve
months. They haye only injured nine per-
sons, all told; quite a beggarly account
‘compared to what can be shown by the
drivers of light carts. The enterprising
butcher-boy, according to the Parliamentary
paper, still defies all rivalry in this particu-
lar accomplishment. The cabman comes
next in order of merit ; but it is the driver
of the light cart that has done the real exe-
cution, and his most successful hunting
grounds have been the suburbs of London.
The number of fatal accidents mounts up
to the respectable number of 166. Of these
the city claims only nine, while Stepnsy
heads the list with 21, and Camber-well,
Hampste Paddington and Highgate fol-
low in hon ble competition. There is no
doubt that in the city the driver of alight
cart labors under considerable disddvan-
tages. The thoroughfares are so crowded
that he has not the means of getting up the
speed necessary for successful adventure;
and, apart from this consideration, he suf-
fers much from the harrassing interference
of policemen stationed at various points to
regulate the traffic. But in the suburbs he
is more his own master. The roads are
tolerably clear of other vehicles, and hence
the unwary foot—passenger becomes in-
spired with just auficient confidence to
make him an easy victim to a really spirited
driven—The Saturday Review.

TIIE ELEPHANT DISAPPEARING.
Considerable interest attaches to a ques-
tion which has just been put by n. Shefiield
worker in ivory. He desires to know
whether elephants shed their tasks, as, if
not, upward of one thousand two hundred
and eighty of these magnificent beasts must
have been killedjo supply his manufactory
alone with the ivory used last year. The
answerto his query is unfortunately that
before the tusks can be obtained an ele.
phant must be slaughtered, and herein is
found a subject for very serious reflection.
Numerous still in Ceylon, though by no
means as plentiful as they were afew years
ago, and without doubt existing also in
large numbers in certain parts of Africa,
the elephant is, however, rapidly disap-
pearing. As a beast of burden he is un-
rivalled in strength, endurance and intelli-
gence, and the services he renders in
times of war, as well as peace, would alone
more than reward a great erort on his be-
half. Quite apart from the fact that, when
he goes, the supply of ivory ceases too,
there is also the grave consideration of his
lossasameans of locomotion and trans-.
port. It is well known that he does not
breed in captivity, and it is, therefore, only
in a wild state that the species can be pre-
served. The destruction of more than
twelve hundred of his kind for one knife.
making firm implies a huge and serious
waste.

TIIE BEST METHOD OF ARREST-
ING FIRES.
On the first discovery of a fire it is of the
utmost consequence to shut, and keep shut,
all doors, windows or other openings. If
the fire appears at all serious, and there are
fire engines at a reasonable distance, it is
best to await their arrival, as, many build-
ings have been lost by opening the doors,
and attempting to extinguish the fires with
inadequate means. If no engines are with-
in reach, it is well to keep a hand pump.
If that is not to be had,- the next best thing
is to collect as many buckets outside the
room on fire as can be obtained, keeping
the doors shut; then creep into the room
on the hands and knees (if the heat and
smoke‘ are considerable), and throw the
water as nearly as possible in the direction
of the fire, keeping the door shut while
more water is being collected. The police
of London understand shutting up fires so
well that they have in many instances kept
fires two or three miles distant from the
engine stations shut till the firemen arrive
ing and cats at night.
in time to extinguish them.
KITCHEN LOTTERY SWINDLES.
[New york independent]
We are glad to learn that the authorities
in this city have commenced criminal pro-
ceedings against the most insidious and
dangerous form of the lottery business
yet devised for the purpose of swindling
honest country people. We refer to the
scheme adopted by several manufacturers
of cheap and inferior goods by which
prizes or tickets are given entitling pur-
chasers, to “a gift” if they chance to get a
lucky number with the package bought.
It. is somewhat refreshing, however, to
learn that recently the manufacturer of a
laundry soap, and also a spice dealer, who
in this way offered gifts to purchasers
of their packages. have been arrested upon
indictments of the United States Grand
Jury for lottery swindling, and are now»
awaitintr trial in this city. The latest can—
didatc for criminal prosecution in this di-
rection is the manufacturer of a baking
owdei‘, who is endeavoring, by a similar
ottery trick, to palm 03 upon servant
girls and unsuspecting housekeepers an
article called baking powder, but which
really is an alum compound of q corrosive
nature and detrimental to health. It is,
therefore, reallya source of congratulation
that the authorities have taken the matter
in hand; for while all forms of lotteries
are iniquitous, they are infinitely more so
when made the aids to swindling, which
profits at the expense and health of the
poor and unwary. We are informed that
this form of lottery is being not only ped-
dled from house to house, but that, under
the percentages and profits than can be
realized from the standard goods, the
swindlcrs are entrenching themselves be-
hind the counters of many grocers, by get-
ting them to offer the ob ectiouable goods
with the prize tickets incloscd, thereby
shifting the liability to prosecution, in a
large measure upon other and perhaps in-
nocent parties. Every grocer or dealer,
for instance, who sells or ofiers for sale
any of this gift bakin powder is a crim-
inal in the e e of the Iaw, and upon con-
viction is liab e to fine and imprisonment.
This is a predicament in which 'we do not
believe our grocers will care to place
themselves when aware of the fact, more
lespecially now that the attention of the
criminal authorities has been drawn to
the matter.
Aside, however, from the criminal lia-
bility thus incurred, the immoral tendency
of such a business is so great that it should
be most severely denounced and discour-
aged by everyone having the best welfare
of the community at heart. The purchase
of an article of food with a gift ticket in-
closed in this way is made to appear as a
trifling affair; but it is no less immoral
apd an offence against law than are the
big lottery swindles which the government
are trying to suppress. Besides, as every
teacher of morality knows, it is the ap ar-
ently trifling sins which are winked) at
where large ones would daze that form
the entering wedge to undermine the con—
science and harden it for greater ones.
We cannot believe that our business men
will care to aid in any srlfih swindlcs, nor
that the people on their second thought
will expect to benefit by purchasing baking
powders or what not, which may be offer-
ed under such suspicious circumstances.

JAPAN—IN THE INLAND SEA.
We were sailing among the three thou-
sand islands of the Inland Sea. .The islands
were often little more than a single rock
with probably one tree peering over the
summit, but there were numbers of them
big enough to allow the brown-roofed,vil-
lages to nestle among the rice-fields or to
lie at the foot of the steep hill-sides terraced
up to the very top; and sometimes there
were glorious mountains, range behind
range, till the highest had a delicate crown
of cloud, superb mountain amphitheatres,
and masses of tumbled hills, and the soft
light of the grass upon them all, like Kil-
laruey on a Summer day, blended with the
mighty sweep from Mull to Ben Cruachan.
It was the most shifting view I ever saw,
and sky and sea and land all shared the in-
constancy. Now a calm strait that reached
for miles between two islands on our right,
speckled with boats and fringedwith wood!
and little bays of pure white sandm: for the
..feet of fairies, and the heaven above a clear
pearl gray; then a blue sky andamerry
breeze, scattering foam over the sea and
sweeping on the ungainly junks with their
white, full bellied sails, the hills gray and
blue and purple, and dim and mighty
islands, like clouds in the for distance;
here so close to the shore that we were under
the shadow of the cliff, the rocks and
wooded points narrowing in on both sides
till we could believe ,we were sailing on
some Eastern Rhine; than, in a moment,
out into an open sea, with space and light
andfar-ofiland. And this'procession passed
us unceasingly from sunrise until sunset.
It might have been 'Loch Liane, or Ross
Island, Arrochar or Windermere, until we
rubbed our eyes and saw the junks at
anchor, the spectral, fringes of trees along
the hill-top, the brown roofs and the curves
of country temples. Then, in the late at.
ternoon, we ran below a lighthouse rock,
and the light-keeper ran up his flag; and,
looking back, we saw long stretches of the
loveliest green water, changing, as we
looked, under every play of light and color;
than a line of telegraph poles, is green
point jutting out on the left to meet the
hills upon the right, so that the steamer has
little more than room to pass in the clear'
still water, and we were in a land-locked
bay, auchOred oil the pretty town of Simo-
nasaki, and the setting sun lit up the woods
and sea and sky with crimson and gold.
We supposed we must steam out, again by
the strait that we had entered, but when
the anchor was lifted the steamer hold on
her course, apparently against the opposite
shore, then turned a sudden corner, and we
were plunging in the rough waves of a
troubled sea. When the evening falls and
the sea is calm, the fishing boats crowd it
with the sparkle of their lights; but away
from shore there are many junks that carry
no lights, and are slow to answer their helm,
and a cause of much explosive speech among
sea-capiains.—Good Words.

iIE [En YET Quasmulin:
inlule Pulily and Wholesoneness oi
Riyal Baking Powder.“
It is ,uoticeable fact that in the numerous battles between
the rival l king powder makers
the absolute purity and wholu-
sameness f'_ the Royal Baking. Powder has never yet» been
questioned;
Hund (is of baking powders have been placed upon the
market wit gl‘féat flourish of trumpets, and have ‘strutted their .
brief hour Ii" imaginary contention with Royal for the patron-
age of tlui public, but their impurities and imperfections were-
soon exposell by the chemist’s skill and they speedily passed . ' .
away, the vicgjjmsfi of their, own, mephitic‘ gases ,.or- are- await.
.gv,
ing the fate that sooner or later overtakes the fraudsaud the
charlatan. ’
But the thousands of analyses, many of them by the most
celebrated fhémists of the world, the most searching scrutiny
by scientific:I bodies in this country and Europe, the exhaustive
tests before[ the juries of competitive and industrial exhibi-
tions, and { all the minute and prejtfliced investigations by
rivals and their chemists in the endeavor to find something
upon which to base the shadow of a fault, have had but one
result, to more fully determine and establish the fact that the
Royal Baking Powder and all its ingredients are absolutely
pure and wholesome. All reputable chemists, and all but the
most ignorant makers of the low test, short weight, lime, alum,
and other impure powders, long since ceased to examine the
Royal Baking Powder to find anything impure or unwholesome
in it.
While the" Royal is proud
of these unimpeachable indorse-'
meats, and highly gratified at the perfect result which it has, by
the aid of the most competent chemists, the adoption of every avail-
able invention, and the expenditure of great sums of money, been
able to accomplish, its greatest pleasure arises from the fact that
its labors have been parallel with those great interests of the public
sought- in the protection of the lives and health of the people. .
The gravity of the danger to the consumer from the many im-
pure and unwholesome baking powders of the market~ is but faintly
appreciated. The small amount of injurious substance imparted to
the system at one time in the use
of such powders-is unnoticeable.
They are therefore continued-by the consumer in ignorance of the
serious results sure to follow from tin; accumulated effects.
This
slow, insidious poisoning, because unapparcnt, is more dangerous
than a larger dose at once.
All the baking powders upon the mar-
ket, except Royal, have been found to contain lime, alum, terra alba,
or other ingredients that injuriously‘afiect the health of the con-
sumer.
The great advantage to the public of a baking powder like the
Royal, whose purity and wholesomeness have never been questioned,
and whose practical worth has stood the test of cooking for so many
years, will be apparent to every consumer.

Another Clem and Positive Recovery
An Elderly Ladyn Letter.
Among the numerous letters received by Dr.
Kennedy testifying to notable Salt Rheum cures,
the following will be found of interest to our
readers, who may accept our assurance of its
perfect authenticity and truthfulluess :—
Woacnsrsn, Mass, March 23, 1884.
Dr. D. Kennedy, Rondmzt, N. Y. .-
DEAR Sm :-—Untii recently I have been for three
years a sufferer from Salt Rheum. It followed
upon an attack of Erysipelas, for wh1ch I was for
along time under medical treatment. I placed
myself again in the hands of the physicians, who
did, I have no doubt, all that could be done. One
thing is sure, however, Iwas none the better for
nilthe medicine they gave me. The painful and
unsightly disease made continual progress, until
I began to fear I should never get rid of it.
By means of one of those accidents that often
result in so much blessing I had my attention
called to your FAVORITE REMEDY, which I was
told would surely‘do me good. I used it, and
within a much shorter time than I would have
believed possible, I received a permanent cure.
I am now perfectly free from Salt Rheum. What
a. comfort this is, and how it places your wonder-
ful medicine in my opinion, you may guess at, but
never know. I keep it now constantly in the
house as a family medicine. Yours truly.
MRS. DINAH PHAIR.
Mrs. Phair sometime since, when on a visit to
_ Kansas, found a case of Salt Rheum, could not get
FAVORITE REMEDY, sent to New York City
for it, and cured the case.

BILLY.
AlthOugh his speculations were generally
successful-by one famous melodrama,
“ The Blood Red Knight," be cleared £18,-
OOO—Philip Astley does not seem to have
died worth much money. ,Yet be me man
otindefatigable industry and energy, and
he expected the same qualities in those
under his employ. “Come, boys, go to
‘ work; we must have a new piece out on
. Monday night,” he said one day, late in the
.week. “That is impossibie,‘ air," replied
the carpenter. " Who’s Mr. Impossible 2' ”
retorted Astley; “ I don't know him; he
don’t live in this house." At one time the
greater portion of his company, and that
the best, deserted him, with the expressed
intention of mining his establishment; but
he was equal to the occasion. “When Mr.
Garrick died,” he said, “ the public thought
the stage would die with him, but they was
mistook. It did as well after him as with
him, and so it will be with me, for though
I’ve lost talent, I can rear more, and the
mill must'go.” When the war with France
broke outin 1793, Aatley went over with
the Duke of York, as a volunteer, to super-
intend the horses, and he proved himself a
soldier's friend. He took with him a large
chest with bits of broadcloth, thread,
needles, leather, bristles, wax and odds and
ends likely to be useful in a campaign, to-
gether with 500 flannel jackets, in the cor—
ner of each of which was sewed a bright
new shilling, which, he said, would be a
friendin need for the poor fellows when
they were hard up and wanted something
to drink. All the company of the Amphi-
theatre gave something toward this, the
ladies making the jackets. During a rc-
treat he succeeded in saving a piece of 0rd-
nance, and was rewarded by the Duke with
the present of four horses. These he put
up to auction, and spent the proceeds of the
sale in treating the men of his division.
Upon his return to England he had the
honor of escorting Prince Ernest, after.
ward Duke of Cumberland; and the Duke
of York gave him a letter to the Queen, re-
commending him as a bold soldier and de-
serving veteran. All his comrades were
admitted gratis to his entertainments, and
special seats on each side the entrance to
the ring were placed for their accommo.
datiou. This, it may be remarked, was a
profitable piece of generosity, since the
people flocked in crowds to see those brave
warriors. When he was in want of horses,
Astley would buy four or five at Smithfield,
seldom giving more than £5 apiece for
them. He cared little for shape, color, or
' breed; good temper was their chief recom-
He certainly ‘achieved some
wonderful results by his training. But his
greatest success was with the horse he first
, started with, the present of General Elliott.
Billy—such was the name the quadruped
delighted iii—would, it is said, take of his
own saddle, wash his feet in a pail ofwater,
take a kettle of boiling water off the fire,
carry a complete tea equipage, and .per-
form the part of a waiter to the company.
Once his master was prevailed upon to lend
Billy for a few days to a brother showman,
a friend of his, named Saunders. Imme-
diately afterward, this man’s efi'ects were
seized and sold for debt, and, Astley know-
ing nothing of this, Billy went with the
rest, and all trace was lost of him. About
three years afterward, as two of the eques-
trian actors were walking through a East
End thoroughfare, one suddenly exclaimed
to the other, pointing to a horse and
cart, “I say, Jack, I’m a Dutchman if
that ain't our Billy.” “Impossible l”
answered the other. “I tell you it is ; I’ll
try him." Astlcy taught his horses by cer-
tain signs—one of these was clicking the
nails of his forefinger and thumb. The ex-
periment was now tried, and at the sound
the horse pricked up his ears and began to
caper. His identity was at once established;
the two actors embraced their old friend
with delight, and he testified his pleasure
at the meeting by capering and rubbing his
head against them: The owner was found
.in an adjoining public-house, a bargainwas
struck, and Billy was transferred to the ac-
tors. “He’s a monstrous good-tempered
cretur,” said the man, “ but he’s got such
odd antics we always call him the Mounte-
bank." . Billy was received by his old mas-
ter with tears of joy, and the next night
was taking off his kettle of boiling water
and handing round his tea-tray with all his
old dexterity. The horse lived to extraor-
dinary age of 42, and survived his master;
when he was too old for work he was kept
in his stable, and allowed two quartern
loaves a. day, and upon his :death a portion
of his skin was used to cover a “big drum. "

THE FOX AND ms HIGHWAY-
MAN.
Tom Hills, some time huntsman of the
Old Surrey Hounds, was once sent to buy a
fox in Leadenhall Market for service the
next day. The commission was not at all
to Tom’s liking; but, obeying orders, he
rode to town, got his fox, and putting him,
securely strapped, legs upward, in a capa-
cious pocket in his overcoat, turned his
horse’s head homeward. Somewhere about
midnight he reached Streatham Common,
to he suddenly stopped by the once familiar
challenge :
“ Your money or your life! "
“My money! " exclaimed Hills. “I
haven't got any; I am only a servant, and
you wouldn‘t take my life, surely? "
The highwaymun told him to look sharp,
emphasizing the injunction by pointing a
pistol at the huntsmau’s head. '
“Well, my man,” said the latter, “ we
won’t fall out. I want my life ; so, as I’ve
no money, suppose you must have money’s
worth. You’ll find something quite as
good in my pocket here ; pray help your-
self."
The robber’s disengaged hand dived into
Tom’s pocket instantgr, and Master Rey-
nard’s teeth closed as quickly upon it, caus-
ing the fellow to yell in dismay, and drop
pistol and reins, while Tom galloped ed at
his best pace, leaving his unwelcome ac-
quaintance to bandage his hand and digest
his disappointment at leisure.

A N ARIIO\V ESCAPE.
Some days ago Thomas Chancey, who
lives near Big Indian Creek, in Houston
county, Georgia, shouldered his rifle and
went to the swamp hunting for squirrels.
Soon after entering the swamp his dog tread
a squirrel. and Ohancey began looking for
the game. While thus engaged be ob-
served an ox feeding around near by, but
did not apprehend any danger from him. .«.
While walking around the tree he was and-
denly and unexpectedly attacked by the ox.
He says the first thing he knew he found
himself being lifted into the ethereal re-
gions on the horns of his oxship. He held
on to his rifle, and the ox continued
throwing him up and catching him as he
descended, between his horns, until finally
the hammer of the rifle came in contact
with a bush, which discharged the gun and
caused the stampede of the beast. Chancey
had a narrow escape from death, as the ball
from his rifle passed under his clothing and
burnt the skin near a vital part of his body.
