SAVED BY A KITTEN.

Only a PLATA Yellow Pussy, but 1t Kept
Artist Lenoir From Suicide.
In the atelicr of a certain French
painter there seems to be a congress of
yellow cats, or rather the same cat in
portraits innumerable. A pair of him
crown, like an armorial bearing, the
doorway; he plays with falling petals
of tea roses; he sleeps while a sparrow
eyes him askance; he sits grave as a
sphinx; even procession of him forms
the frieze of the chimney piece, and he
peeps between purple and golden pan.

Eight years ago Maurice Lenoir
dwelt in garnet, earning his bread by
copying pictures nourishing his soul
with dreams of great classic canvas OF
his own. Needless to recount the dis
illusions, privations, rebuffs or the
nervous reactions of the days when he
received a few francs. The unrelieved
pressure of poverty, the unremitting
blows of ill luck-tap, tap, like a
PAYERS mallet-became unbearable.
Tn, thin blood of semi starvation
mounted to his head, creating visions
of suicide.
One evening he bought poison. Re-
entering his room something brushed
past his feet. He lighted candle and
began to write few lines, merely to
save trouble at the inquest. Suddenly
there sprang upon the table q little
yellow kitten; it rubbed caressingly
against his face. Evidently waif, one

With bread and milk, all he had, hi

Carelessness with Glasses.

1.-THE cost of spectaclcs and glasses"
said an old optician on Broadway, lis
something enormous A greater pro
portion of people every year wear
glasses. When man buys his
first pair of glasses he imagines
he is done with it. He will
have some excuse and think it neces-
sary to give it when he comes in before
six weeks and gets another pair. He
will break one glass, perhaps, or both,
Or mislay them, or get them torn off in
crowd, or the cord wears out and
they drop off of their own accord. lie

after he has used glasses year or two
he will find that if he goes about much

glasses twice that often every year,
and some as frequently as two or three
times a month. In nine cases out Of

MUSIC AT THE FAIR,
A Series of Concerts Arranged for by TIL
Lady Managers.

A Series of Concerts Arranged for by the
Lady Managers.
The women board of managers for
the Worlds fair have made plan for
musical programme at the woman's
building during the exposition. 1t is
proposed to give semi-monthly concerts
in the hall of the woman's building,
which is we'll adapted to the purpose,
at which only women or girls who are
amateurs of talent will be permitted to
appear Quartets, trios, either vocal or
instrumental, choral or orchestral
societies of women will be eligible for
examination, these not to be later than
February, 1898, either in Chicago or in
various cities. 1t will be necessary to
have been resident of this country at
least ten years in order to perform at
these concerts. The qualifications of
any one desiring to take part must first
be tested and approved by jury
selected by the women's national COM
mittee on music and satisfactory to
Theodore Thomas, musical director of
the exposition. No musical prodigy
will be admitted simply as such, nor is
the diploma of any college or conserva-
tory either necessary or sufficient. Each
candidate will be rated upon her merits,
technical proficiency not alone being
considered. Permission to appear at
these concerts will be a mark of high
honor. Minnesota has decided to be-
stow medal upon each successful can
idate belonging in the state, and it is
hoped that other states will follow its
example. The concerts are intended to
provide a public appearance for those
amateurs of distinction who are shut
out from the concert room of the pro-

Ifyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal Its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly i'm the dough, so that none
of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all Others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor of its business ever since is still at
the head Of its management. Thus all the
