HEst Bread Made Wholesome.

The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar mer-
it that is possessed by any other eavening agent
It provides bread biscuit cake muins or rolls which
may be eaten when hot without Inconvenience by per-
of the most delicate digestive organs With most
persons it is necessary that bread raised with yeast
should lose it's freshness or become stale before can
be eaten with safety The same distressing results fol-
low from eating biscuit cake pastry, etc. raised by the
cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum
other adulterants The hot roll and muffin and the
delicious hot grddle cakes, raised by Royal Baking
Powder, are wholesome and digestble as warm SOUP
meat, any other food
Another greatly superior quality possessed by the
Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preser
walton of important elements of the flour effected in
raising the bread by the mechanical operation of the gas
without fermentation. Yeast and all baking powders
that produce the eavening gas by fermentation is
we'll known, destroy portion of the nutrtve elements
Of the -four and particularly those which re the most
heathul and the greatest aids to perfect assmila-
ton of the food. The Royal Baking Powder while
perfectly eavenng retains without change or impair
nen all those elements which intended by nature
when combined in our bread, to make it literally the
staff of life"
No leavening agent or baking powder, except the
Royal Baking Powder possesses these great qualica
tons.

A MIDNIGHT ATTACK
In Which the Sufferer is an ola
Man Seventy Years OF Age.


PITTsBURG, November % This
morning about | clock Sam Brit
tain, who had been accustomed OF
late to sleep in the Office OF his son,
a well-known coal operator. was
awakened from his sleep by a
strange man near his bedside, who
had a revolver pointed at the old
gentleman's head. Britain asked
what was wanted, when the other
fired. The bullet struck Britain
on the forehead, but glanced and
produced but a slight wound. The
two men then grappled with each
other, when another shot was fired,
stricking Britain on the right arm
when he fell and became insensible
but was aroused later by fire burn
ing him. He discovered the bed
in flames, and managed to throw
the bed clothes out of the window.
This morning when the office was
opened, he was found lying on the
floor in pool of blood and uncon-
scious. The affair is shrouded in
mystery. No cause is known why
such an assault should be made.
Britain is seventy years of age.

Newspapers in San Francisco say
there is something peculiar in the
water of this high mountain lake;
it is so light they say, that logs OF
timber sink Immediately, and bod
les meyer rise; that it is impossible
to swim in it; that essaying to do so
many good swimmers have been
drowned. These facts are we'll at
tested by newspaper scientists, and.
therefore not doubted by newspaper
readers. Since leaving Ga kland |
have been often asked, by the young
men, the scientific explanation Of so
singular fact. I have uniformly
answered.:

ments when we arrive there

Nonsense. In an almost incom-

the usual Sunday cock fighting began.

The silk industry, which nas become
so large an interest in this country, is
purely manufacturing one. getting
its raw material altogether from
abroad, duty free. The manufacturers
do not expect much result from silk
raising in America, chiefly because they
think silk cannot be well reeled iii this
country at anv satisfactory price. A
demand for protective duties Oh the
raw material would also tend to reduce
the margins for manufacturers, should
silk-growing become an interest Of inn
portance 1t is stated that the girls in

to one and half francs (twenty to
thirty cents) day, and in those Of It

hours work, while equally skilled labor
here should return nearly n dollar.
Moreover, silk valued at four to five
dollars per pound can be brought to
New York from japan at from three TO
eight cents per pound freight. Inc
promising field for American silkgroW-
ing in America seems, therefore, to be
restricted chiefly to that of a subsidiary
industry for women and children, who
would not otherwise be at work, and
then under the disadvantage of ''house
reeling." Whether the production of
cocoons, not for reelin@, but for direct
use by the growing industry of spun
silk manufacture, might prove prohta-
bic, is very questionable, in view OF the
low price (about seYenty-1iye cents per
pOund) paid for cocGons
Nevertheless, ''Women's Silk-cul-
ture Association, one of the indirect
results OF the Centennial Exposition,
exists in Philadelphia, with the purpose
of promoting silk-eulture as profitable
work for women. This was organized,
