we'll known to every housekeeper. 1t is
to try it in making bread, cake, etc, and

formed from the application of this prac-
teal test, that the Royal does make the
best, the most, and the most wholesome.

THE enterprise of the publishers of two of the Naugatuck weekly papers, who have announced that they are about to cultivate the daily field, is worthy of encouragement. although there is an element of reckless ness in thelr actions. Almost anybody can start a daily paper, but it takes money to keep it running. Press and Printer says: 1.-Two hundred and seventy-three newspa- papers in New York state alone suspended Tn 1893, while not less than $50 more have helped to All the newspaper graveyard since that date. By far the largest part of these papers were started on borrowed cap- ital by people who knew nothing about the business, but trusted in luck and politics. There are some men who seem to think that newspapers can be run without brains and that advertising comes without work. True, great deal does come to old. estab- lished papers, but does anyone suppose that such advantages were secured simply by good luck? Possibly good luck has had something to do with the successful news- paper enterprises, but hard work, directed by active brains, has had much more to do with it, and as the fields have been filled it is getting to be more and more difficult to start a newspaper that will pay" How ever, there is room on top, and we hope our Naugatuck friends will be able to avoid the .hoals

sus-n Couldn't Be Trusted There.

A loi:>, --:,ed, gawky sort of chap from Gly,.. e Potomac, who was visit ing WasI.; H:ston, was walking about the office of the Arlington hotel, apparently gazing on it as one of the sights of the capital, when one of tho clerks tackled him for bit of fun.
 "Is there anything we can do for your" inquired the clerk.
 "I reckon not, ," was the reply.
 Perhaps you would like room if you arc going to be in town?'
 Well, I reckon I ain't; leastways, not right now"
 "Do you think of coming?"
 "Well, yes, me and my wife has been talkin about it.
 "Of course, if you come, you won't find Q better place than this to stay. We are in the finest quarter of the city, and the White House is just across the street.
 ''Is that SOP" exclaimed the rooster.
 "Yes, indeed"
 "Then it ain't no place for mywife. "
 This was startler for the clerk.
 "Why not?' he asked in surprise "She would be greatly pleased.
 "In course she would She'd be tic kled to death, she would, but won't let her come.''
 "But why?"
 "You don't know my wife, reckon?"
 "I have never had that pleasure, bowed the clerk
 "m course you haven't. She's a fine woman, but she's got her weakness.
 "But life in this hotel would bring her around all right. .'
 "That's what you say, young feller, but know Susan. Why, eff she come here to live, she wouldn t be here week till she d be runnin acrost the street sev en times day to borrer some dern thing CT other frun tho White House folks. She cant help it to save her life, but they're kinder used to it in our place, and it makes it come good deal easier on me than it would here, where people is some different i'll their notions.

 EARL OF CADoGAN. LORD AsHBoURNE. fifth earl of his name and is a man of great wealth. He is the ground owner of Chelsea and receives twice the salary of the president of the United States for inflicting an unpopular government up on Ireland. He was undersecretary for war in 1S75-8, undersecretary for the colonies in 1S78-S0 and lord privy seal in 1886. His political fortunes have ris- en and fallen with those of Lord Sails bury, whose protege he seems to be.
 Another of Premier Salisbury's fa- vorites is Edward Gibson, first Lord Ashbourne, who is lord chancellor of Ireland for the third time under Lord Salisbury. He was born in 1888 and was educated at Trinity college, Dub lin. He entered parliament ill 1875 as member for Dublin university and in 1877 was made attorney general Of Ire land. He went out of office in 1880, but continued to sit in parliament, and dur ing the Liberal regime in 188O-5 was the chief spokesman of the opposition on Irish questions. In 1885 Lord Sails bury raised Gibson to the peeraSe with the title of Baron Ashbourne.

 lows her to mix his medicine when he is not looking at her, quite remarka- ble thing when the justifiable eastern fear of poisoning is borne in mind. The ameer has also adopted Miss Hamilton as his daughter-a great honor in Ali ghanistan-and has provided her with a winter home ill Kabul and summer home ill the country. The ameer has a bad case of gout, which Miss Hamilton has been very successful ill treating. During the recent visit to England of the shahZada, the ameer's eldest son and prospective successor, Miss Hamil- ton accompanied the eccentric young prince to London and looked after his health. It was her duty to send to the ameer by every mail bulletins concern ing the physical condition of her charge, and upon her return to Afghanistan she will resume her position as medical ad- wiser to the ameer.
 Some time ago Miss Hamilton was appointed manager of the Dufferin hos pital in Calcutta, and while hard at work became i'll of fever. She could not rid herself of the malady, and hear ing from an agent of the ameer that he desired an English woman to visit hiS court and make the women of his harem acquainted with English women and their ways she accepted the post be- cause the Climate of Afghanistan would benefit her health. "So, you see," she naively remarks, "I really went to Ka- bull as lady specimen and not as a doc tor. "
 She frequently visited the harcm so that the Afghanistan women could sec what she looked like, and when at lei rure prescribed for the people of viii lage near the house the ameer assigned her. Her great success in treating these poor people led to her selection as med i"al adviser to the ameer.

 The return to power of Premier Salis- bury gives Ireland another regirpe of Balfourism, for the new chief secretary for Ireland, Gerald Balfour, N. P, is , brother of MT. Arthur Balfour and will doubtless initiate his brothers famous policy in regard to the Emerald Isle. Balfour is the fourth son of the late J. Maitland Balfour and nephew of Pre- mier Salisbury. He has been secretary to the premier and to his brother Ar thur and is said to be man of fine in- tellect and thoughtful student of poli- tics.

THERE was a rather heavy draft on the gold reserve last week, but there was nothing about it to cause any alarm. It was to meet legitimate purpose, the settling of trade balances, that this gold was shipped to Europe, and not because of wild scramble instigated by fear such as was the gold raid on the treasury last winter. Treasury officials will not be sure prised if considerable more gold is drawn out for shipment to Europe during the month of August. but in September the tide will turn and as much or more gold will come from Europe to ray for our crops.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The funeral of the negro boy Ernest Green, who was shot last Friday by Miss Flagler because he was taking fruit from q pear tree in the yard, was held here and was attended by a large throng of colored people.
 Two colorcd preachers-Revs. J. A. Taylor and Walter H. Brooks-delivered brief remarks touching the subject Both were temperate, but the words of the lat ter were several times drowned by the in terruption of excited hearers.
 Referring to the action of the coroner's jury in exonerating Miss Flagler, he said that evidently the taking of human life without just cause was no crime in Wash ington. Life here was not worth much SO far as the colored race was concerned but God would have a reckoning. The action of Miss Flagler in shooting because the boy was merely after 8 pear was strongly animadverted on.

OcOurred but five years ago in classic drama, entitled "Our Irish Visitors, f" which was not written by either Shake speare or Bacon. Later on Miss Reynolds appeared in the prominent vaudeville theaters of the country. At about this time she did what every sensible woman has done or hopes to do-she got married. The fortunate man was Mark Murphy, one of the few really good Irish comedians in America. Murphy was then the star of an- other non-Shakcspeare- Bacon epic entitled 70 Dowd's Neighbors and his bride was engaged to create the leading role of Wid- ow Riley. This she did very successfully. Mrs. Murphy's engagements have since been somewhat desult0ry, but her recent performance in "Thrilby'' has served to bring her prominently before the public in vehicle which afforded her full scope for the exploitation of her ability.
 Mrs. Murphy Is very handsome, which Is certainly no disadvantage on the stage or anywhere else; she has an excellent so- prano voice of considerable culture; her stage presence is pleasing and she is with. al 0 highly intelligent and well educated woman. As she is thoroughly consoien. tious in everything she undertakes it would seem that Jennie Reynolds future in her chosen profession should be bril- liant one. .z t5~
