the peculiar qualification which we de-
rive from the sight of the most famous
and the most infamous men of the age.
Whether they, who step out of the

of men they are, and if that be impos-
sible-if We cannot see them in propriG
persona why, the next best thing
in public estimation is to see
their portraits being public lions.

models are species of portraiture
which is by far the most striking, and
which approaches the nearest to nature,
the qualification they impart, if they
be perfect, is greater than that which
is derived from representations on can
vas Nothing can give so correct an
idea OF the features and figures of men

line. every little popularity can be so
portrayed as TO make it appear that the
originals are living and breathing be-
fore you. 1t is impossible to take q
portrait on canvas for life; but per-
feet wax model may be taken for
aliving man. Hence, if the most exact
imitation of nature be the perfection
of art, it was impressed on my mind
that the art OF wax-modeling. as far as
portraiture is concerned, may be held
to be by far the most perfect.

accidents occurred, such as shooting
the engine and men into the flames,
lodging hook and ladder in the tele-

MARION HARLAND's OPINION or

Is. . ~ E
s Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists
and hyglenlsts as to the relative value of
the various baking powders. A careful
sitting OF the evidence leaves no doubt
as to the superiority of the Royal Bak-
Ing Powder in purity, wholesomeness
ana strength, from scientific stand
point. An opinion, however, that will
weigh heavier than any other with our
practical house keepers, is that given by
Marion Harland, the best known and
most popular Of American writer's upon
matters pertaining to the science of do
mestic economy, of housekeeping, and
home cooking. In a recent letter to the
Philadelphia Ladies Home journal, this
writer says: II.
Il regard the Royal Baking Powder as
the best manufactured and in the market,
so Tar as have any experience in the use
OF such compounds. Since the introduc-
ton of it into my kitchen, three years
ago, have used no other in making bis
cults, cakes, ETC., and have entirely dis
carded for such purposes the homemade
combination of one third soda, two
thirds cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect condi.
ton when it came into my hands, and
the contents have given complete salts

and also pleasure, to recommend 1t un-

teaching in primary schools. Listen to
the merry voices of children on the play
ground, and then listen in the school

discovered the true principles by observ-
ing little children. A defect in articula-

the process by which child learns to ar
ticulate. Listen to the voices of children.

son, one of the wealthy men of this city, is
happy to day because he has with him a
daughter whom he believed to be dead.
The story has special interest for East
ern people, because itembraces characters
that have figured in Paterson, N. Y, and
Newburg, N. Y. Nearly fifty years ago
Mr.. Ryerson left his wife and daughter
in Paterson and went to Florida, enlist
ing as soldier in the Seminole war.
he was wounded, and for mauy months
he was at the point of death without
friends or money. 1t was long time
before be reached home; then he learned
that his wife, believing him dead, had
moved away no one could tell where
she had gone,
After long and fruitless search Mr..
Ryerson went to Mexico, remaining there
many years. He accumulated consider.
able property and then moved to Califor.
MIA. His brother, Martin Ryerson, of
the old settlers of Chicago, and also q
wealthy man, induced him six years ago
to leave California and reside here. Re.
Gently Mr.. Ryerson succeeded in tracing
his only child. She is a Mrs. Shutter, and
resides in Newburg, N. Y. In response
to telegraph she came to Chicago,
arriving late last night. Her mother
died long ago, and until last week she
had not the faintest suspicion that her
father was alive. Mr.. Ryerson, although b
80 years of age, is hale and hearty. He
is living with relatives here.
