In spite of Russia's opposition and oil
the harassing to which he has been sub
ject since accepting the rulership Of Bull
garia, Prince Ferdinand has steadily ex-
erted himself to improve the country.
and the completion of this road Is practi-
cally his work The day of its opening
was a grand fete in his little domin-
Ion. He officiated in person. and was
especially gracious to the French
engineers who had designed tho
route and directed the work, as
well as TO the many artists and reporters
present. Bulgaria is country of great
natural fertility, and the people were
once noted for their love of and skill in
gardening; but war, rapine and bad gov
ernment have almost obliterated the
marks of their taste. The prince designs
to reawaken their taste, to improve agri-
culture and facilitate trade and communi-
cation with the world, and this railroad
is his first achievement in that line.

Tho First Commercial Advertisement.

An English antiquarian has been delv.

discovered what he says is the first com
mercial advertisement ever printed In o

Politicus. Of London. dated Sept. 80. 1858.
1t runs as follows: "That Excellent and
by all Physicians approved China Drink

Nations Tay alias Tee. Is sold at the Sui
taness Head Cophee House, in sweeting's 5

A very large percentage of the pictures
published by the illustrated papers Of
England represent members of tho royal
family, or events in which they take
part. Examination Of file of any one
Of these journals would bring to light a
never ending series Of "The queen re.

the cornerstone Of such and such a
building; "The queens visit TO" one or
another shire; 1.-The Princess of Wales

and so on. In recent number Of The

Omcial Analysis of Baking Powders Adult
terations In Cream of Iartar.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board Of Health, eighfy-f0ur fer
ent kinds OF baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be und for sale
In the State, were submitted 10 examina-
tion and analysis hy Professor G. +
Chandler, a member OF the State Board
and President Of the New York City
Board Of Health. assisted By Professor
Edward G Love, the well-known United
States Government chemist
The ofl .ial report shows that large
number Of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime many Of
them 10 such an extent as TO render them
seriously Objectionable for use in The pre-
paraiion OF human food
Alum WAS found in tweniy.nno sam
piles This drug IS employed in baking
powders TO cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed 10 the i'm
pure cream Of tartar OF commerce used
In their manufacture. Such cream Of
tartar was also analyzed and found to
contain lime and other impurities in
some samples 10 the extent Of 80 per
cent. Of their entire weight
All the baking powders Of the market,
with the single exception Of "itoyal'
mot including The alum and phosphate
powders. which have not the virtue Of
even an impure cream of tartar) are
made from the adulterated cream Of
tartar Of commerce, and consequently
contain lime to corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical ANALYSIS 10 be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure ia The
Royal This perfect purity results from
the exclusive use of cream of tartar spe-
cially refined and prepared by patent pro
cesses which totally remove the tartrato
of lime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream Of tartar Is
much greater than any other, and on &C.
count of this greater cost Is used In no
baking powder but the Royal"
Professor Love, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health. as well as for the
Government, says of the purity and
whOlesomeness OF the "ROyal":
Il find the Royal Baking Powder COM
posed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
IL is a cream of tartar powder OF high
degree of merit, and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or other in1u-
rious substance T. c. Love, Ph. d."
II is highly satisfactory TO the
housekeepers Of this vicinity, where
the Royal Baking Powder is in gen
eral use, that the Investigations by the
analysis in Massachusetts,, New York,
ana Ohio, the only States that have thus
for takpn octinn IN m thia i'm nOrfanf
subject. agree in chasing it as the purest
and most efficient baking powder in the
market.

aye az or before The lime Of general
election, shall, upon statement TO that

From this H. will be seen that the rules

Voters shonld look carefully 10 his,

attention to the fact, so that by no inad
yellancc Of this sort should q vote be

II will also be noticed tina young men
