will have better luck and following directions)
mo failures with the Royal Baking Powder
The truth of this must be evident when YOU
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants, and in the homes of Our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
tor all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints:
never makes sour, soggy or husky food never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.

w. +. Mead, in his paper on Books
and Reading in Iceland in the Allan
tic. thus speaks OF the universally OF
the reading habit in that far-awsy ISL
and:
One naturally expects the clergy to
be more or less educated and 10 have
books as a necessary accompaniment,
but one hardly dares TO expect much
of the ordinary farmers Of so poor
land as Iceland; yet in spite of all
drawbacks the Icelandic farmer man
ages to have ut least few books. and
sometimes remarkable number.
On my trip to Hecla and Krisuvik l
omitted no opportunity of looking over
the books In the farmhouses. Some
times l found nothing but the bible
and the psalmbook, or an old treatise
on farming or some practical religious
work. but q little inquiry usually
brought out few volumes of the old
sagas. At farmhouse almost under

to have limited their reading to the

She Wanted to See Grant.

When General Grant was in Ireland in
1879, on his tour around the world, Mr.. j.
A. O'Shea was in his train as newspaper
correspondent. On the way from Dublin
to Derry the cars stopped at Portadown,
and Mr.. O'Shea hastened into the refresh
ment room after something to eat. He was
nibbling q sandwich and chatting with the
barmaid, when a voice at his left quietly
demanded a glass of lemonade and a bis
cult. The voice belonged to General Grant.
The correspondent finished his luncheon
and was turning to go when the barmai1

FRANK HARr ARRESTED.
The Boyle Heights Burglar Cleverly
Caught by a Jewe1er.

The Boyle Heights Burglar CIeverI,
Caught by q Jewe1er.
Frank Hart was locked up in the cen
tral police station yesterday on the
charge of burglary. On last Friday
afternoon the residence of Charles E
Mcclure, on Boyle Heights, was en-
tered by burglar during the absence
OF the family, and two gold watches and
an opera glass were stolen. One of the
watches was valued at about $75, and
the other at $35. A description of the
articles was left at the office of Chief
Glass.
On yesterday Hart called at jewelrv
store and offered the case of the $75
watch for sale, stating that he had
broken the works and preferred dispos-
ing OF the remainder of the watch. The
]eweler noted the number of the watch,
and asked Hart to walk with him to his
other store, giving some plausible ex-
cuse.
The "other store" was the central
police station, and Hart was little sur
prised to find that he had walked up to
the captain's Office to be arrested. rhe
case was identified as that belonging to
Mr.. Mcclure, and Hart was charged
with burglary. On his person was found
a bottle of acid, evidently in readiness
Tor use to erase marks or lettering on
jewelry.
At the moment that Hart was en-
deavoring to sell the watch-case to the
jeweler, Detectives Auble and Benson
had visited a second. hand store in
search of the articles. Hart had dis
posed of the works of the watch to the
secondhand man, and had just left for
the other place to sell the case.
Detectives Auble and Benson also
found revolver at the second hand
store, which was wanted by another
person, from whom it had been stolen.
The proprietor of the store said the re-
volver had been sold to him by man
who gave the name of Hart, and during
the past few weeks several articles had
been brought there by men who gave
the name of Hart, but that all of the
men were different in appearance.

An Anecdote of Tad Iincnln,

One of the prettiest incidents in the clos
ing days of our civil war occurred wher
the troops marching home again" passed
in grand form. if with well worn uniforma
and tattered bunting, before the White
House. Naturally an immense crowd
had assembled on the streets, the lawns,
porches, balconies and windows, even those
of the eexecutivemansio itself being crowd
ed to excess.
A central figure was that of the presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln who, with barred
head, unfurled and waved our nations flag
in the midst of lusty cheers. But suddenly
there was an unexpected sight. A small
boy leaned forward and sent streaming to
the air the banner of the boys in gray. It
was an old flag which had been captured
from The Confederates, and which the
urchiD, the presidents son, Tad, had OBJ
tained possession of and considered an ad.
ditional token of triumph to unfurl on this
all important day. Vainly did the servant
who had followed him to the window plead
with him to desist. No, Master Tad, the
pet of the White House, was not to be pre-
vented from adding to the loyal demon
stration of the hour.
To his surprise, however, the crowd
viewed it differently. Had it floated from
any other window in the capital that day,
no doubt it would have been the target of
contempt and abuse, but when the presi-
dent, understanding what had happened,
turned with a smile on his grand, plain
face and showed his approval by gesture
and expression, cheer after cheer rent the
air. 1t was surely enough the expression
of peace and good will which, of all our
commanders, none was better pleased to
promote than the commander in chief

City Engineer Dockweiler states that

The city council met yesterday with
President Bonsall in the chair. A good
sized crowd was present in the lobby,
including members of the council-elect
and spectators. The minutes OF the last
meeting were read and approved.
President Bonsall announced that
there had been no official act since the
last meeting of council. In accordance
with the action of council, he, together
with City Clerk Teed and Clerk-elect
Luckenbach, had carefully counted and
checked off the $500, 900 funding bonds
remaining unsold, and destroyed them
by burning them in the city hall fur
mace. The total issue of these bonds
was 1892 900. They had all been signed,
ready for purchase, but only $4,000
were sold, the purchasers being 1. w.
and H. w. Hellman. The change in
the city government therefore made it
necessary to destroy the bonds.
President Bonsall thanked the MEM
bers of the council for their uniform
courtesy, and declared that body ad-
iourned sine die.
City Clerk Luckenbach then called
the new council to order and the follow
ing members answered to roll call F.
M. Nickel, First ward Daniel Innes,
Second ward F. Munson, Third ward;
F. g. Teed, Fifth ward; George D. Pes

W. HI. Rhodes of the Fourth ward was
not present at roll call, but came in
afterward.
On motion OF Mr.. Teed, the council
adjourned to Tuesday, January Sd, at 2
