CHEAPER. BREADH

The higher price of flour can be overcome and bread
made cheaper than before, by the use of Royal
Baking Powder.
In oncenh part Of the -four
dccomposed destroyed to make the gas that
raises the dough. Royal Baking Powder raises
the bread mechanically, without the destruction of
any part of the flour.
The Royal Baking Powder therefore, one.tenth Of
the -four. In other words, the -four required to
make ten o yeastbread will make eleven
Ioaves each of equal weight, when raised by Royal
Baking Powder instead Of yeast.
Hot bread, cake, made with Royal Baking
Powder, may Q with impunity by persons
of the most delicate digestive organs The hot
roll, griddle cake raised by it is as
wholesome and digestibe warm soup, meat or
other food.
Place the dough mixed witt Royal Baking Powder,
about one inch thick, small pans six inches
square. and when baked the loaf will fill the PAM
Besides being more wholesome and nutritious
eaten either cold, the bread will be
found en- per cheaper.

INCREASED SALE
THE TRIBUNE.

Customers have reported, nearly
every day Of the week, lately, that
after a certain hour In the day,
copies of THE TRIBUNE cannot be
had from newsdeaIers near them
or from newsboys on the trains.
This is a necessary and invaria-
BILE incident Of a steadily increas-
ing sale of the paper, and is aggra-
waited by the rush which happens,
every day or two, for extra copies,
containing political features Of
special importance.
The remedy is entirely within the
customers own control. He
should buy his paper, regularly,
from the same newsboy or dealer,
or order it served daily at his house.
The latter plan is best. During the
remainder Of this campaign, every
day will bring fresh surprise or a
new piece ofstrategy on the politi-
cal field Of battle. THE TRIBUNE
will have all the regular news and
many special features Of its own.
Order the nearest newsdeaIer to
serve THE TRIBUNE atyour house.

Pastry of the Ocean.

A reporter debarred from his usual call
at Delmonico's, lunched at one of the
coffee saloons of Park row. At his table
sat an Old sea bronzed sailor, who sud-
denly made the unappetizing inquiry of:
''Did you ever eat any lamp oil dough-
nuts?'
POSITIVELY, neverW replied the re-
porter, with a slight gasp of horror.
The old man smilingly said: "Well,
they're better than these greasy things on
our plates. In my young days was a
whaler, and the captains of whaling ships
used to give prizes to the men; something
for sighting the first whale, or striking a
big 200 barrel fellow the fastest boats
crew, and so on. After ship had slowed
her first 1000 barrels of oil, the crew
would get a barrel of flour as q present
from the captain When we tried ont
our next sperm whales blubber, the cook
would take a lot of our -four, roll out
big batch Of doughnuts and cook them in
the hot, boiling oil-and first rate they
used to taste when eaten with molasses.
You see the oil when fresh is just as
sweet as lard, and besides you must con-
slider that it is not fish oil at all, for the
whale, you know is an animal. New

FORTUNES FLOWER.

All, Norah, yet the grass Is wet-'tis early times
you're out!
And, sure, the sun and you, my pet, should light
us turn about,
The buds uncurl, the swallows whirl, you lead the
year astray;
And what's the happy news, my pearl, that warns
your heart to-day?
All, can't trace the darling face I've loved for
twenty years?
And don't know the April grace where smiles
just touch the tears?
There's store galore your basket fills Of blossoms
golden gay,
But more, ashore, than daffodills you're bringing
home to-day
A four leaved shamrock! happy hour! that prom
Use must come true
And lucky flower that owns the power to bring
good luck to you
At others tread it hides its head, and crouched
away in fear,
And pushed its four leaves forth instead the mo-
ment you drew near.
And what's the boon the omen brings? for wealth
you'd never seek;
And health and bloom were mocking things to
such Mayday cheek;
A secrets cheap those eyes would keep!-I know
the happy lad
But, Oh! one lovers rapture deep will leave a
county sad.

The Fear of Drafts.

Foul dust in rooms cannot be got rid of
by any amount of sweeping and carpet
beating. The only thing that will remove
and replace it is current Of compare
lively pure air from the outside Except
in very cold weather there should always
be two open windows in each room on
opposite sides. eff we should follow that
advice" the Mortified reader will exclaim,
1--WE should all catch fatal cold. Don't
remember a dozen colds I got by being
exposed to sudden draft! Only few
nights ago, whenI occupied seat near
the door of theatre, the door was left
open during the intermission, and the
draft, though pleasant enough, gave me q
bad cold. No, thank you, no drafts for
mer'
This logic seems good, yet it is utter
sophistry. As a metaphysician would
say, the draft was only the occasion, not
the real cause of the cold. The real cause
was tbs foul, hot air in the theatre, which
demoralized your skin and relaxed its
blood vessels, so that they were unable to
react suddenly and endure the healthful
cool air from the street. In other words,
it was not the draft that gave you the
cold, but the sudden transition from hot
to cold air. Such transition is always
injurious to the skin, whether it be from
both to cold or from cold to hot air. But
IL you are not overheated, a current of
cold air is never Injurious Epoch.

A correspondent of The Hartford Cour-
ant relates what he saw in Frankfort,
Germany. The loft of stable had
burned out, and he asked for the horses,
thinking that they must all have per-
fshed, but he was assured that they
were in the stable and all right, for no
smoke nor heat could touch them.
After everything was burned in the
loft, he made an inspection, and found
that the stable was practically fireproof.
They had in its construction used old
railroad ties, placing them three and a
half to four feet apart, and then put
arched corrugated iron between the ties,
and filled in with mixture of cinders
and lime, making it deep enough to pro-
tect the ties. The trap or door to reach
the loft was made of sheet iron, filled in
with the same compound. This kind of
fireproofing is very cheap and, according
to the writer, is very effective.

A Nut to Crack.

The something called lightning will
melt cold iron rod in a hundredth part
Of a second. A hard razor will drop like
water in time quicker than thought. But
that heat is not in the lightning, but it is
made at that point at which the lightning
meets an obstacle. Thus from the sun
some substance or potentiallty may go
forth which is a harmless traveller until
something retards it. This exile may
meet its first foe near the suns disk, and
enough of it may escape to go onward
and meet second obstacle in the envi-
ronment of planets. Swing in
