A curious discovery has recently
been made at Pompcii. In house
in the course of excavation an oven
was found, closed with an iron door,
on opening which a batch Of eighty
one loaves, put in nearly eighteen
hundred years ago, and now some
what overdone, was discovered and
even the elargeiron shovel with which
they had been neatly laid in rows.
The loavcs were but slightly over.
baked by the lava heat, having been
protected by quantity Of ashes
covering the door. There is no
bakers marks on the loaves; they
are circular, about nine inches in d.
ameter, rather fat, and indented
evidently with the bakers elbow
in the center, and are slightly raised
at the sides, and divided by eight
lines radiating from the center into
eight segments. They are now of q
deep brown color, and hard, but
very light. In the same shop were
found 561 bronze and So silver coins.
A mill, with great quantity Of corn
in excellent preservation, has also
been discovered.

A most delightful sensation was
nipped in the bud the other night at
Saratoga. A lovely and charming
blonde, whose father was cruelty
obdurate, had nearly escaped
through the window to join her
anxious inamorta, who had arrang-
cd everything for an immediate
wedding. AS she put her delicate
foot through the window upon
the first round of the ladder, alas
alas her crinoline caught upon the
bell-handle by the fireplace, and the
poor girl, unable to advance or re-
treat, was detained until a cham.
bermaid accidentally entered the
room and released her from her
perilous position.

The Ballad OF q Baker.

u# g.
Joe Brown, was baker-man,
A baker-msn was joe; f-l 81.
He ne'sr was known to want for sught,
And yst he kneaded dough. ,Sg
And he was rugged, hearty, too,
Andhad long life leased,
And sllbecause he rose up with I'd,
His early rising yeast. ui5
To never cheat his customers
This man was early taught;
And yet his loaves were always light, !
His pie-crust rather short
And he vas gan rons hearted, too,
And kind unto the needy,
And neat and tasty in his dress,
: Although bis cake was seedy. 4
With him none dared to handy jokes,
Whsns'sr he sought the nsests,
For well they knew his rspartees
go Were sharper than his tarts.
And while say his skill was great
ra In getting upa muffin. q
His pastry 6lled the mouths Of all,
And needs no further putin.
'Tis said be wsss temperance man;
If 60, can't tell why
He mixed with wheat and corn-mesl, too
as.HrA tribe Of tho ryei a.
81. Whom age At last o'ertook the man,
His frame grew bent and sore,
And, like the cake he used to bake,
His head WAS frosted Ger.
And when he died, all mourned his lose,
With no sectarisn bias,
For be had been friend to all,
Vi A good man and pie-ous.
Beneath this crust ofup-heaved earth.

ROYNTON'S ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range, which has just
been completed, is now offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
oven Range i'll the market and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate i'll recommend
ing it the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate some OF the peculiar adVan-
tages this Range possesses
First-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-It has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, atiording larger accom-
modations for Cooking purposes
THRIFT has smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open CRATE in front and water back in the rear,
forming two sides of the fire las in all other pattern
ranges) both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso-
lutely necessary to burn larger amount of fuel.
Fourth-The body Of this Range is higher than
other patterns, and is more like the French Kitch-
eners, making 1t much more convenient ana easy
for the cook.
Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible,
placed in natural position (being in the body of
the Range) instead of above the ovens, as In other
patterns.
Sixth-Tbe ovens do not project over the boiling
surface SO as to make it inconvenent in removing
tho boilers, as in other patterns.
Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
yeying the steam to chmneys and controlling the
draft than most ranges
Eighth-The ovens bake more evenly, as we have
return flue the top of the oven (which is the
point that most often fails thus securing perfect
baking oven on the top as well as on the bottom.
Nnth-The fues in this range are all complete in
themselves so that it is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (Which absorbs the heat,) and makes the
setting of them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-1he water back can be removed and the
plumbing work can be repaired, If necessary, with
j31y JOHN HILTON.
