"Good day, gentlemen"

Good day, gentlemen" 1 A rather pretty young lady stood in the doorway of the Chicago Tribune editorial rooms and paused in graceful expectancy after announcing her presence.
 ''Do you object" she continued, "to my talking to you gentlemen little while on matter which may be of interest to you ?' 1T don'r," replied the horse reporter. 1 ''The purpose of my visit was to call your attention to work of art I am en- l g ,ged in selling" and she unfolded pie ture which represented two boats lylng alongside of each other on placid sheet of waler, one containing young man and i the other young woman.
 ''Is that the work of art ?" asked the horse reporter. "Yes, sir"
 "What's the name of it ?''
 ''The title is On the Lake, and it is cons red very fine picture" continued the young lady. 1T suppose so. I see the young man has got hold of the young lady's hand Whats that for ?" "Why," said the visitor, blushing vio- lently, ''he is-that is, I suppose-they seem to b--why, the man is making love to the young lady"
 "Oh," said the horse reporter, ''he is seeking to win her young affections,i is he ?'' "Yes, sir" replied the fair art merchant, "I suppose that is it"
 ''But what's he lying down in the boat for? Has he got the collie ?" "No, sir" was the reply, followed by 1 more blushes. ''His position is one of negligent ease, made so by the artist in order to more fully carry out the thoughts suggested by the picture" "Well, don't know," said the horse re- porter. "Mayhe you're light, but it doesn' t look natu,al. Iguess he's sort of crouching down that way in case the girls father should happen to be over there on the shore of the lake with gun."
 "P. rhaps," said the young lady, unroll- ing ano' her picture, which represented a pair of lovers sanding under tree, ''you might like this. It is entitled One Heart, One Thought
 "No," was the reply. ''Its too ideal again. If you could g-t up one entitled One Heart and Four Spades, it would sell well in Chicago. Such p cture would appeal to ,h- artistic nature of our most prominent citizens"
 Good day, sir" said the young lady. T am much obliged for your courtesy and ndvice."
 "Don't mention it. Come in again and I will let you look at some of our prize sto- ries. '

OUR DAILY BREAD. and sour bread or biscuit have a vast influence through the digestive organs upon the measule of health we enjoy. How important to our present happiness and future usefulness the blessing good health and a sound constitution are, we can only realize when we have lost them, and when it is too late to repair damage And yet, notwithstanding these facts, thousands of persons in our own city daily jeopardize not only their health, but their lives, and the healths and lives of others, by using articles in the preparation of their food the purity and healthfulness of which they know nothing. Perhaps few cents may have been saved, or it may have been more convenient to obtain the articles used. and the housekeeper takes the responsibility and possibly will never know the mischief that has been wrought. Pater familias may have spells of headache, Johnny may lose his appetite, Susie may look pale; if so, the true cause is rarely suspected. The weather, the lack of outdoor air, or some other cause, is given, and he unwholesome, poisonous system of adulterated food goes on. Next to the flour, which should be made of good, sound wheat and not ground too fine, the yeast or baking powder, which furnishes the rising properties, is of the greatest i'm. portance, and of the two we prefer baking powder, and always use the Royal, as we thereby retain the original properties of the wheat, no fermentation taking place. The action of the Royal Baking Powder upon the dough is simply to swell it and form little cells through every part. These cells are fill ed with carbonic acid gas, which passes of during the process of baking.
 The Royal is made from pure grape acid and it is the action of this acid upon highly carbonized bicarbonate of soda that generates the gas alluded to; and these Ingredients arx so pure and so perfectly fitted, tested ani adapted to each other, that the action is milo | and permanent, and is continued during thu
 whole time of baking, and no residue of poi sonous ingredients remains to undermine ths
 health, no heavy biscuits, no sour bread, bu
 If directions are followed, every article pre- Ipared with the Royal aBaiing Powder will b hAQg1 sHSet 1sa5 wluesumm

The recent death of Judge Thomas Hood, at Madison, Wis, calls to mind an incl dent in the early life of General Sheridan which may be of interest to relate now. Judge Hood was resident of Somerset, O. General Sheridan's father, at the time of the incident relate, was then living on 8 small place just out of the town limits. He kept few COWS, and supplied their milk to residents in the town. Judge Hood at that time 8 prominent lawyer in that part of Ohio, was one of "Old Mike'' Sheridans customers, and "Little Phil'' delivered the daily supply to Hood. Con- gressman Richey at that time represented the district in congress and had an appoint meut to West Point at his disposal. Richey was solicited by numerous part of his constituency for the appointment for va rious sons, and, in a period of worriment, he appealed to his friend Hood to name some bright fellow for the place.
 Hood settled the matter at once by say ing: Appoint Little Phil Sheridan. |" "Who is he ?" asked Richey. "Why, he's old Mike Sheridan's boy, who brings my milk, and smart as a whip" And Congressman Richey appointed him.

Hartford Courant We would call the attention of MT. Watterson to the painful fact that among the two thousand bills in troduced in the democratic house are at least two by democratic members provid- ing for an increase in the duty on wool. The members asking for this increase are from Ohio, and they are supposed to be acting in the interest of Ohio wool raisers. Now Ohio is doubtful state politically and if the sheep cultivators of that state are not satisfied with the tariff on wool ty that refuses to increase duties. But an increase in rates is not essential to "a tar iii for revenues only," which MT. Waiter son and Mrs. Carlisle are supposed to fa- vor. The question therefore is whether they will stand by their principles or whether they will run the risk of losing Ohio. Its great moral question.

A Southwark Gondon) boot-maker has sued the rector of St. Saviour's church, in that borough, for $500 for services render ed during his election to the chaplaincy, and the disclosures made are remarkable. He packed the church on Sundays when his candidate preached, and kept people away when the other candidate preached. It says great deal for the liberal views of the rector that this good auctioneering agent was an Irish Catholic. If half the plaintiff says is true, St. Saviour's ought to be without an incumbent.

The New York Sun is full of warnings to the democratic party, since the election of the free-trade speaker. It announces, this morning, that the question to be de- cided by the house of representatives now, ald afterwards by the national democra tion convention, is ''Shan we have tariff for rtvenue only, or shall we have tariff for revenue with zinc dental protection ? It says that Carlisle represents the party who beli we in the first proposi ion, and that 1t means ire trade. It tells MT. Gar lisle and Mr. Morrison, who is to b. at tn head of the committee which will have charge of the tariff, that if they are the men they are taken for, and are de. voted to the principles they profess, they must go ahead and take off every protec tive duty. They must place sugar on the free list, even though that whould lose Louisiana to the democratic party, aud they must go through the who'll list in the same manner without fear or favor. The Sun asserts that Carlisle defeated Randall on "the revenue only issue" and it calls upon him to stand by his principles and let the country know where he aud the democratic party stands, and it intimates that the election of @ free trade speaker has already lost the democrats all chance of electing the next president The Sun no longer says that the republicans must go, or even that they ought to go.

Upon killing a pig seven months old, he found gold finger ring encircling its tongue about two and one-half in ches from the end.

H, Dye, one of New York's most eminent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth. but results from causes easily understood ard overcome.
