Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

was fired from Flobert rifle or from II

Miss Olson is certain that she heard a

the shot must have come which struck
her sister.
Mrs. Tracy came here from Pcquam-

husband, to visit with her sister at 10
East Elizabeth street. They were on
their way down town when the accident
happened. They we're walking on the
east side of the street and miss Olson
was nearest the park. She carried an
umbrella in front of her and the ball
passed through the upper portion OF
the folded umbrella. When it was
opened it was found that every fold
was perforated. This may have served
to slacken the bullet in its speed aud
prevented the inaiction of q more

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Fri Tracv, of Pequaming, had a
narrow escape from fatal accident at
Detroit July 4th. We CLEAN the fol-
lowing particulars from the Detroit
Tribune:
One case of careless use of firearms
Yesterday almost resulted in the loss of
a life. The victim was Mrs. Fri Tracy,
stranger in the city, and she had u
very marrow escape for her life.
Mrs. Tracy was walking south on
Woodward avenue, accompanied by her
sister, and they were on the east side
of the street, about midway through
Grand Circus Park, when shot was
fired; and the next moment Mrs Tracy
exclaimed that she was shot. Her sis
ter caught and supported her and
several pedestrians who were near and
saw drops of blood upon the sidewalk.

to Maynard's drug store at the corner
of Witherel street. She was taken in
10 O rear room and DIR. y. u. Wright OF
% West Adams avenue was called.
The ball had struck Mrs. Tracy in the
right side of the groin and was lodged
several inches from where it entered.
IL had taken a course just under the
skin. An examination showed that
although the wound bled freely it was
not of dangerous nature. The injured
woman was removed to the home OF

THE EAGLE SCREAMED.

July 4th opened rather unauspicious-
ly for gala day, the weather being
cloudy and threatening but for all
that the people turned out en- masse
to the exercises at the town hall. The
procession was probably the largest
ever formed in the village and made
quite an imposing army of men, women
and children. A very pretty feature
of the procession was boat rugged to
resemble the Santa Maria, commanded
by Mr.. Campbell dressed to represent
Columbus. The goddess of liberty,
represented by Miss Murphy, accom-
panied Mr. Columbus to the land
ing ut the new world.
The proceedings at the town hall
were very pleasing and successful.
Rev. +. o. Jones opened with prayer,
the chorus rendered several appro-
pirate selections of music. The
reading of the declaration by Prof.
Tuck was clear and impressive and Mr..
Haisey delivered IN eloquent and in
spring Grafton that pleased his hearers
immensely. He is an orator OF more
than ordinary ability, his delivery
clear and distinct, his thoughts COM
pact and to the point, trite and at times
eloquent. He was followed by MIR.
Culver in very patriotic speech which
ELECTED repeated applause.
The exercises in the hall were to
have closed with prayer by Father
Suffer, but he gave instead very
earnest and interesting talk on the
the duties of the citizen to his country.
His speech was pregnant with patrio-
tism throughout and was well received.
At about noon the rain commenced
to pour down and continued all the
afternoon. In consequence the ball
game and pyrotechnics were dispensed
with. The sports were taken up in the
steady.downpour of rain without much
pleasure except to those who won the
prizes.

CIRCUIT COURT.


Court conyened for the July term
last Wednesday afternoon, Judge Nor
man w. Haire, of Ironwood, presiding.
The following cases were disposed
of:
McMullen VS.. Kaine. Verdict for
plaintiff.
Pearce VS.. Fitch Clark. Verdict for
plaintiff.
Crawford VS.. Sterk. Verdict for
plaintiff
Sterk VS.. Edgerton and Orr. Verdict
for plaintiff.
Testimony was taken in the chancery
suit of Ruppe vs.. Boivin but the argu-
ments will not be submitted until court
sits at Houghton.
OF the six criminal cases on the
docket two were nolle pressed and the
others. on application of the defendants
were continued until the October
term. We understand that the case of
the People VS.. Ed. Nichols for selling
liquors without licence, one of the
cases discontinued, was settled by his
paying the. tax and the accrued costs.
As he has always expressed willing
ness to pay the tax if the law was
enforced as to others this disposition of
the case would appear to be perfectly
proper.

Tropical Roofs.

The natives of the interior of Ceylon
finish walls and roofs with a paste of
slaked lime gluten and alum, which
glazes and is SO durable that specimens
three centuries old are now to be seen.
On the Malabar coast the fiat bamboo
roofs are covered with a mixture of cow
dung, straw and clay. This is poor
conductor Of heat, and not only with
stands the heavy rains to remarkable
degree, but keeps the huts cool in hot
weather In Sumatrs the native women
braid coarse cloth of palm leaves for
the edge and top of the roofs. Many of
the old Buddhist temples in India and
Ceylon had roofs made out of cut-stone
blocks, hewed timber, and split bamboo
poles. Uneven planks, cut from old and
dead palm trees-seldom from living
young trees-are much used in the
Celebes and Philippines. Sharks skins
form the roofs of fishermen in the Anda.
man Islands. The Malays of Malacca,
Sumatra and Java have roofing of at
taps, pieces of palm leaf wicker work
about three feet by two in size and an
inch thick, which are laid like shingles
and are practically water proof. The
Arabs of the East Indies make a durable
roof paint of slaked lime, blood and &C.
ment. Europeans sometimes use old
sails-made proof against water, mould,
and insects by paraffine and corrosive
sublimate--for temporary roofs. = Scien'

Suicide not Heroic.

Suicide, as an escape from the earthly
consequences of ones own misdeeds, is
much affected nowadays, and it must be
confessed that if escape is all that is de-
sired no surer expedient could be adopt
ed. But if one cares for character or
name, it is the least worthy of all expe-
dients.
When q man loses his fortune which he
has hardly earned, necessity compels him
to 60 to work to earn another, or at least
he tries to keep himself out of the poor
house. But when he loses his character,
which is worth more than fortune, he
has more imperative motive for re-
earning what he foolishly parted from.
True it is easier to build up a shattered
fortune than regain god name, but
the greater prize is worth the greater eff
fort.
Besides, to quit life at such time is
to repudiate every obligation imposed by
natural affection to parents, wife and
children, who have the right to demand
that no faint be put upon them. The
individual himself may escape by suicide.
But the children he has brought into the
world cannot. He simply handicaps
them in the struggle for existence and
slips away, leaving them heritage of
shame. To live down wrong doing and
right ones self after having wandered so
far out of the one true way is hard to
do, but the manly man will not hesitate
TO live and undertake the task st.

TAXING ELECTRICITY FROM THE AIR
Mr.. Palmieri, in La Lumiere, describes an
apparatus for collecting atmospheric cleo.
tricity. 1t consists essentially of a re-
volving wheel having eight spokes, but
no rim; each spoke is made Of a con-
ductor insulated from the hub and having
n small metallic cross arm at its further
end; near the hub are arranged two
brushes. one above and one below the
center; these brushes are always in con-
tact with the spokes pointing vertically
upward and vertically downward respec-
lively, during the revolution, and there
fore lead off from them the electric
charges collected from the atmosphere
at the top and at the bottom of the wheel;
the brushes are connected by wires to
two Leyden jars and to sparkling knobs
as usual.
A BURNING GLASS MADE OF ICE.--A
few years ago an English professor
caused quite & little excitement among a
party of skaters on Serpentine River by
making lens Of ice and lighting his
pipe with it. This reminds the writer
that this curious experiment was first
brought before the public by the great
DR.. Scoresby, who, when III the polar re-
gions, to the great establishment of his
companions, who did not understand
why the ice did not freeze the solar rays,
performed similar feat. 1t may also
be worthy of remark that Professor Tyn.
dali, when a teacher in the Royal 1nsti.
tute, on several occasions set fire to little
heaps of powder with rays from an cleo
trio arc concentrated by lens OF ice.
His explanation was this: although ice
absorbs rays of certain waves of light
and is gradually melted thereby, there
are other kinds of waves which it does
not absorb, and it is these that produce
heat at the focus of the bar of light
which passes through the ice. In short,
it is wholly question of the relative
motions of the molecules of frozen water
and those of the waves of the more pene~
trating rays of light.
