How many a young vife's heart is sad dened and happiness scattered because she cannot s'cook as mother did, It is strange, sadly strange and yet we all know it is true. How many time has the tender hearted re- porter felt his soul bursting with grief as he told the narrowing story of some poor suf- fering woman, whose cheerful sunshine had turned to dismal darkness just because she could not s'cook as mother did" And how 1t delights the heart of the reporter when he chances to hear of one devoted young wife who is rescued from the gloomy fate of so many, in manner go simple and easy that the only wonder is that all are not saved.
 blushing and blooming bride, but few short promising and prominent young men. He promised to do everything in his power to
 make her happy but in an evil hour he made
 the dangerous discovery that she could not
 'tcook as mother did He told her so, and
 from that hour the life-light of happiness be-
 gan to die out in her once radiant eyes. The bloom, that put to shane the fancied perfec- ton of the rose, departed from her cheek :;
 the voice that welcomed him to a happy
 heart aud home grew silent as the grave, and the young husband saw that something must be done soon. He asked the sorrowful wife why she was so sad, and she told him because she could not ''cook as his mother did ;" but i if she had Royal Baking Powder he could say 1 so po1onger Like sensible fellow he or deredia dozen boxes Rt once, and now he | says he is afraid that his wife will raise the 1 roof of the house some day, but he don't | care, for she is happy.

A Phenomenal Baby.

A remarkable baby figures in the Iurid melodrama, Hoop of Gold, " now being per formed in this city. In one act doctor comes in, looks at the baby in it's crib, feels it's pulse. examines It's tongue and diagnoses it's condition. 'I do not the babe lean live. J
 he says. sadly. ssCareful nursing may save it, but tho symptoms of it's speedy dissolution are already stamped upon it's waxen brow" In the next scene the father and mother of the baby fight for it's possession; the baby is dragged up and down the stage, over piles of rock and beetling precipices, up three flights of stairs and down again; it is pulled at,
 walked on, sat upon, tossed about, banged around. and finally thrown by it's brutal fath- CT over bridge into deep, dark river forty feet below. A brave spectator to this mad act doffs his coat, pIunges into the cold river and rescues the invalid baby, who appears on the stage in a smiling condition j1st as the curtain descends amid riotous applause. This goes to prove either that the baby had re- markedly strong constitution, or that the doc tor mist0ok the glow of health for the pale hand of death.
