Take no Substitute for Royal Baking Powder. It is Absolutely Pure. All others contain alum or ammonia. A Brooklyn Householder's Novel Mode of Self Defense. SCIENCE AGAINST BttUTE FORCE. T Yon Hare Burglars "In Toor Midst, an Ammonia Homo, Properly Propelled, Will Promptly Put Them to Flight With Vapors That Mo Robbere Cao Abide. A Brooklyn man hai invontcd whnt ha enlli the "fin tie iloclo burglar euro." It li euro not fur burglar, but against them. It Is furthor called "rouKh on linrKlnra" and "Wlndolph'a safety botnlia," and bj luppniMor of crime It la Intrndwl to uperwdo all aoolotlci and organization! Dow extant. To quote from the Inventor, I thli euro consist of "ammonia gna eon. eentrated In a volution of the hlghvat ob tainable dogroo, Introduced Intoglnsabtilba of convenient alze and Immediately cloaod by fuilon. living tun hermetically waled, the bombi retain tholr powerful vapor unimpaired for years. They may bo hnn died with porfoct safety, but are thin enough to break by their own Impact when thrown against any object." Those bombi are about the slzo of a duck's egg and are ahaped like the bulb of an inenn descent light. Three ouncoa la the weight, the bulb being two-tlilrda full of conoen trated ammonia. Such la the mcniia by which Druggist Wlmlolph nriipiwpg to cattor devastation, dismay and diffused vapora broadcast among the criminal dosses. "What are wo to do when burglara are In our mldstf" he asks in Ills circular. Under such circumstances people should chain down tholr vitals. Otherwise they might be stolen, remarks tho facetious New York eun. But tho Inventor has three ounces of fin de slecle burglar cure worth tons of chains. "Protect your homes with tho safety bombs," he advises. "Burglars are nu merous. Then, if your homo Is Invaded, don't get rattled. Keep cool, and when tho Intruder shows his toco throw your bomb. Aim straight for his ohln, and when tho bomb breaks that settles the burglar." This Is the newly invented way of treat ing burglars who are in your midst. Ac cording to Mr. Windolph, be had burglars in his midst lost August that is, they were In his drug store. In the Brooklyn dialect, "midst" Is used as a synonym for drug store undor certain conditions. Two burglars oamo in over tho fanlight one night. Mr. Windolph lay sleeping. Ho was awakened by the disturbance mudo by the burglars In climbing over the door. What was ho to dor Thero was no club there, nor pistol or other weapon. Ho arose and walked cautiously out. Present ly the Idea of concentrated ammonia oo- RSADT FOR THE SHOT. eurred to him. Groping his way to the bottle, be filled a graduating glass, crept out and threw theobcniical straight In tho face of the nearest burglar. The man went down as if a house bad fallen on him. Ills companion departed from Mr. Wimlolph's midst In great haste, taking most of the glass of the front door with him. The oth er burglar was captured and subsequently sent to the Klmlra reformatory. But tho luminous Idea of concentrated ammonia for use against the midnight marauder had taken firm bold in the brain of the druggist. He experimented and Dually Drought out his Invention. The bomb as now perfected is put up In llttlo tin bozos not unlike baking pow der cans. There la a hole In tho can, so that It can be hung on a nail or hook eon venlent to the bed. Behold, then, tho prosperous Brooklyulte sinking to poaco ful slumber In his ammonia guarded bed. Mailed to the bedstead is the tin box lu which the bomb rests like an egg In tho nest. There Is a noise outside. Slowly tho door opens. An ovll face poors Into the room. It is the burglar. Little does ho suspect that the little tin box on which the light from his bullsoyo lantern falls contains his doom. Maybe he thinks It's a matchbox or a fancy alarm clock. lie moves forward. The floor croaks. Sleep leaves the eyes of the prosperous Brook' lynite. He raises himself from his pillow. His band goes to the tin box and grasps the little bulb. Tho burglar is puzzled at first, but soon concludes that this must be a new kind of burglar alarm. Beforo It can go off ha will have tho houso owner by the throat But the wakened man has lifted his ami. He throws the bomb with unerring aim at the burglar's chin as per Instruction. It strikes. It bursts. There Is a gasp, a gurgle, a gulp, nnd tho burglar la writhing upon the lloor. The chemically preserved householder rises from his bed, throws a sheet over the strangling criminal and sends for tho po lios. Such Is tho programme laid out by the inventor. Prom Ills own writings on the subject Is gleaned the fact of the pecul iar potency of this agent. Ho says: The peculiar powers of ooocentrnted ammo nia gas pro-eiuinently lit it for the use here designed. Its caustic action on the skin la of minor consideration, but the blinding and asphyxiating efforta of the vaiior ure instanta neous and Irroalatible and are more qulekly overpowering than a club or a pistol shot. Tbe secret of this lie in the fact that this vapor cannot be breathed. When breathing is at tempted, the glottis of the windpiiw cleeea spasmodically, shutting off the supply of air from the lungs. With blinded eyes and every sensation of death by suffocation, It can easily be understood huw the most hardened crimi nal will abandon hla dtwperato diidgns and grope hla way as bust be can toward the open air. From this it would appenr that not only burglars but other malefactors can be overcome by the fin do sleclo burglar cure. No matter bow hardened the criminal may be, be can't stand this drug. It may bo set down as a fart that even a man who had combined all the crimes of the deca logue wouldn't be able to endure this at mosphere. The glottis of bis windpipe would close spasmodically. The supply of air would be shut oft from his lungs, bow- ever tough they might be. He would rush for tbe open air. WANTED, NEW DRESSMAKERS. Requisites of the Young Woman Who Da. sir to Saw for a Living. Tha woman whosa dressmaker is a comfort to her It a blessed woman. 6ba it one of tbe few. The average dress maker If a tonrce of tribulation to most of those who have their dresses made after the conventional pattern as truly as she la a trial to the woman who bat become so cultivated that sho prefers classio outlines for her own body. We do not mean that dressmakers are more unworthy than other workers. A con scientious, faithful Journeyman in any trade it a rarity at we all know. But there are scores and hundreds of women in Chicago, not to speak of other local ities, who have learned to despise a cor set and the corseted outlines of fashion plates. These women need others to manufacture dresses that will be ar tistic The word "artistic" combines in its moaning utility, health, comfort and be- coiiiingnosg. A dress cannot beartistio that is not all of theso and more. It must bo suited also to tho personality of the wearer, it must hide as much as pos sible her defects, it must enhance her good points as well as give her room to breathe with utmost freedom and to ex ercise evory muscle- with utmost grace. Plainly such dressmakers as uro need ed must know anatomy and must be fa miliar with the finest sculpture up to the point of admiring and loving tbe contours of classio figures. As a matter of course they must dislike the pinched torso of the fashion pluto. These pre requisites are already possessed by many intelligent women who need steady oc cupation and an increased income. If to this appreciation of human anatomy and love of art they add the old fash ioned training of a good seamstress, they are at once ready to serve such patrons as can design their own dresses, Tbe more familiar they are with good stat uary and good pictures, the more con versant with the philosophy of art meth ods, the sooner will such women learn to design or to select such forms cf gowns as shall be suitable to each patron. Such a woman will dignify her occu pation. Such a worker becomes an artist in texture if she can start with a natu ral liking for good color and correct form. If sho becomes an artist that is, ono who loves art more than money she has the joy of an artist, of one who can not resist doing and loving to do the work that brings her her living. There ore plenty of dressmakers already who aro willing to learn any fud to increase their earnings. They will accept any new idea that may bo grafted upon their al ready acquired skill. Out of a score of these not one has been found who re vered the huniun body, not one who cared to know how it was fashioned, not one who cared to take the least pains to study. For women already educated on the lines of natural proportion and classic sculpture who can do good hand work, there are waiting the chances for a good living and an abundance of pleas ure in the work of securing it.

American girls of intelligence, young ladles, are quick at this time to see the advantage Unit children g nurses will have in attending the Chicago fair. The mother of a young girl who is now pre paring for Bryn Mawr college writes to say in connection with the Columbian exposition: "As our limited means com' pol ns to be stay at homes, my daughter will give her services as caretaker of one or more children in return for her ex- penses paid, cither in a visit to Chicngo or to travel anywhere during tho vaca tion.' This scorns a very desirable offer. Children who accompnny their parents on summer journeys have often the dis- advantugo of being thrown with otlior children and their nurses, who bring dif ferent influences upon them loss refined than thoso thoy receive at home. What an advuntago, then, to have a young lady as nursery govorness who will instinct ively guard these children from undesir able associates, and who can, by hor own personality, both instruct and amuse Miem, while looking after them well. Household. The Cao of Face Creams. Womon are too stingy with their face creams. Did you ever boo a stage beauty mauugo this kind of a buth? If you have not, you know literally nothing of the art. In the first place, an actress does not buy 25 cents' worth of cream and expect it to last a lifotimo, but she gets her cerato by tho quart. After bathing her race nt night and drying the skin she puts in each palm a liberal tiunntity of cream ana rnlis not only her face, but neck as well. Kememlier that you nniRt not neglect your throat when caring for your face. Here is where tho telltale lines gather tho fastest. Almost in a night an ugly ring, sometimes one and oftuner two and threo, appear to warn you of your carelessness. Buggy folds and wrinkles start just under the chin long before the first crow's foot is etched abont your eyes. This is because yon have not been doing anything for thU part of your body. Dorothy Maddox in 'luladelphia Inquirer. Quality Against Quantity. As regards woman suffrage. New York, with all its foxhiouable furore, is still in that stage of the agitation passed years ago in Boston where the "antia" seek to make an impression by claiming "quality as against quantity" f names in their petitions. To put for ward this rather vulgar boast was soon found to be very incY. icreet campaign ing in Nw England and a powerful help to the other aide. Boston Transcript Side Dishes Not Fashionable.

If berries are served with their hulls on, they are eaten from the fingers, each one dipped separately into sugar on the aide of the plate. New York Herald Hungarian Linguists. Many Hungarians resident In New York Sre diMinguiidied as linguists. The exigen cies of life iu their native land make an ac quaintance with several languages neces sary, and, like the Kussiana, they seem to have an aptitude for acquiring foreign tongues. Thus it often happens that an educated Hungarian knows, besides tba several languages of bia native land, Rus aian, English and French, with a smatter ing of tba ancient classic language New York Sua. Wyndnin leaned back in his chair, re garding thesaltant flames of the grate fire with hostilo eyes. Ho believed In in self to be particularly culm his heart was beating nt its normal, placid pace, his mind was clear. Ho was unaware that his fingers were nervously tapping the amis of his chair, and that his view of the fire was gradually growing blurred and indistinct. Tho library table was thickly Btrewn with papers, and Wyndain's brother leaned heavily against it, gnawing- his discolored hps, At length Wyndam broke the strained silence. lie arose from his seat and placed his arm mxm his brother's shout der, Buying: "Do you see the biting jest fortune played us in removing our futhor before he could destroy these pleasing documents? For I have no doubt ho fully Intended to destroy them. The younger man impatiently chafed nnder his brother's words. He threw back his head as if to shake himself free from the thoughts which pursued him, "I am not sorry he hud not time to de stroy them," he returned luboredly. "He tried to teach ns to tho full the meaning of honor iiorluips with the idea that we would be able to do what he was not strong enough to accomplish. It only remains with ns to inuko restitution. Wyndam looked at him in astonish ment and cold admiration of his mannor of receiving the blow. "That is all that is left for us," he agreed slowly, "and we can accomplish it only by our death; otherwise the world would know of our dishonor. For ttumtely Howard is the next in succes sion and will come into bis own with out need of disclosing to him our sliamo." The younger man was nimble to re strain the faint look of protest which momentarily flashed into his heavy eyes, Then the blank hopelessness agnin en veloped Ins features as he echoed, "Only onr death can right the wrong. He recognized that tho case required that drastic measure. Ho wished no re peal from it, for every breath ho now drew was poisoned. But the thought of death, which only an hour ago had seemed so fur distant, came upon hiin with something of a shock. "It will be well forns to make our exit as speedily as possible," Wyndam ptir- suod. "There will be tho usual wonder ment at our busty deed, but at least there will be no suspicion of the truth.'' He commenced to separate the papers witb his customary methodical preci. sion, quickly bringing order out of the confusion which had reigned. He was hindered rather than helped by his broth er's assistance. He dojiosited in the fire the confession which hud laid bare be fore them unguessed infamy, and the two stood watching until the flumes had mercifully devoured the last bit of paper which could have avowed their dishonor. Then Wyndam said: "I am now going to my own apartments. It will probably take mo an hour to arrange my own af fairs. At the expiration of- that time 1 shall end my life." "I shall do likewise," declared the younger man, who hud now regained tho mastery of himself. His voice rang steady, but bis face was like a death mask in its stiffened, unnatural repose. There had never been any strong lik ing between them, but as Wyndam shook his brother's hand upon separating from him at the turn of the corridor he was stirred by a momentary thrill of pity. Ho knew his brother well enough to re alize that life could now hold no possible charm for him, but it seemed sad that be should be forced to leave it while he was still possessed of tho exaltations peculiur to youth. Wyndam closed the door of his own den mid set about the completion of his tusk. There was not one letter over which he lingered before committing it to the flames, yet many of them were from the one woman he hud ever loved and to whom bis marriage was imminent. He had always been ablo to keen his mind from the disagreeable, and ho was determined that in this lust net he would still maintain his admirable composure and not try himself needlessly. Ho refused absolutely to allow his thoughts to dwell uixin what was to hap pen within the hour, and he noticed with a subdued throb of self satisfaction bis unfaltering nerve. He debated with himself for some mo ments over the advisability of leaving a few last words to the woman who wus to have been his wife, but ultimately dismissed the thought us savoring of tho dramatic. In fact, ho felt he could do rive no consolution from writing to her, ns he could frame no possible excuse for bis impending action. He walked composedly to the drawer which contained his revolver, but paused before tho mirror to push back from his brow the hair which hud liecome dis placed. He ulso noticed that his cravat was somewhat awry and rearranged it. Ho was unconsciously taking mental note of his condition. He hud more than once beforo proved himself to be jios suased of more than ordinary courage and had felt assured he would meet death when it came unflinchingly. Yet as he unhesitatingly leveled tho weapon at his heurt he congratulated himself upon his coolness. As he wus about to pull the trigger ho heard indistinctly the muffled rt'iKirt of the pistol which bud been fired in a room further down the corridor. The sound hastened him, and he at once pulled the trigger. lie fell into the chair beside him, his hand pressed to his heart, hoping that death would not belong delayed, fur the pain he was suffering was intense. Ho could feel the warm blood trickling over his hand, dyeing the bosom of his shirt a vivid red. His eyes fell npon his trembling hand, which Btill clutched the pistol. It was not smoking, and suddenly there echoed in Wyndain's ear the dull full of the hammer. He realized that he wus not shot: that the pistol hud been unloaded. The mirror, which he faced, unmerci fully reflected him. The color hud fled from his face: his eyes were fixed and distended; his lips were twitching. He gave some contemptuous commiseration to the abject figure, failing to realize im mediately that it was himself. The weapon dropped from his nerveless fingers, and be buried his face in his several fruitless attempts, got to bit feet. Ho groped hit way blindly to tho cur trldges, and when he at last had tbt box in his hand' slowly retraced his steps to the pistol, which lay upon the floor. He loworod his hand for it, but ho could not pick it np. Ho had lost control of his lingers. He drow himself erect and wiped away tbe cold perspiration which bad broken out on Ills brow. "Great Ood," he whispered, "what coward I ami" Ilocnrvfully smoothed tho anguish from hit face, and once again bent for the re volver. This time he was ablo to con vey it to the tablo. Ho endeavored to re load it, but could not. "I shall rost for a time," he tnodltated drugging himself to a chair. "It is true I told him I should end it all within tho hour, but there is no pressing hurry, nnd my worst enemy would not wish shorten these extra moments." His eyes wandered aimlessly about the room, but nnuily rested upon a lung en vuioiie wnicn my upon ins desk. It wus directed to him iu an unfamiliar hand, In one corner was the name and address of a prominent firm of lawyers. He bad noticed it previously, but had not opened it. Now, wishing to divert hii mind, he incuriously broke the soul. It was a lengthy communication, but from his brief glance he gleaned that through the death of his mother's only brother no ami ins brother were joint heirs to on enormous fortune. He re stored tho letter to its envelop. The in telligonce seemed an unnecessarily cruel taunt of fato. His riches or his poverty could not now concern him. "And to think of it all reverting to Howard," lie mattered. "He will not know how to nse it; be will 1k more tin comfortable- than pleased. Ho becomes heir to 10 times what should originally nave been ins through ono man a perfidy and because I am that man's son. and because it is a just law that the sins of the father shall be visited on the chil dren 1 must suffer. There is but one consolation no one knows, or over can know, the depth of our father's baseness but ourselves." It suddenly flashed upon him that the knowledgo bud now narrowed down to himself. He turned tho envelope over caressingly, rciicuting softly, "No one on earth knows but myself," Ho seemed to derive a certain satisfuc tion from the words. 'Were we right in so summarily-de ciding that only through our death could restitution be made'r he demanded. Howard would be far more content if left with his books und a modest com petency. The control of vast wealth would be nothing but a burden to him, Of course he could nut be given what is rightfully his without creating suspicion. and thut must bo avoided, but we eun" Ho went no further, for he was again confronted by his brother's death. He onco more extended his hand to the re volver, and all his lately acquired re pose vanished. His face hardened; a look of subtle cunning crept about his hps. "ferhnps it Is ns well, ho urged. "Ho would never have beeu at peace, for he had an exaggerated idea of honor. If I determiuotolive," he pursued, "I shall resolutely thrust from me the remem brance of what we discovered. There will be nobody, nothing, to remind me of it, and even to myself I shall nppear as much a man of honor as before we happened upon these papers. With dogged firmness he replaced the cartridges and revolver in their compart ment. No sign of the conflict which hud rnged remained. It hud grown lute, and be carefully dressed for dinner. Once or twice his thoughts hovered over the motionless form lying in his brother's room. It would be uecessary for him to feign sur prise when the servants found the body, but he impressed upon himself the fact thut he must be cautious not to overact bis rolo. He had dressed without bis valet's help, but as he wus about to leave the room he heard him in the corridor. He advanced toward the door, smiling a lit tle, as if pleased at having got ulong without the man s assistance. He opened the door, then retreated a step, as did also the man on the thrush old. The two brothers, both carefully dressed, stood face to face. Alice S. Wolf in Argonaut. A MIRACLE IN TEXAS QMI T HUT FULL OF MKANINU AN UNUSUAL STATEMENT FOR A REGULAR PHYSICIAN.

Judgo Thomas of the District of Co lumbia supreme court has delivered an opinion to tho effect that spiritualistic seances must be placed in the category of theatrical shows and entertainments, tnd that therefore the- are subject to the Imposition of a license tax.

Much comment has been caused bv the ollicial reports of the United States and Canadian governments, in which are presented the evidences of the superior strength, purity and wholesomeness of the Koyal Baking Powder. It is true that the good housewife looks upon commendations of the Koval Bak ing Powder from scientists and official sources bucIi as these verv much like the gilding of refined eold." Her prac tical experience long since taught her in the most convincing way the great use fulness and superiority of the Koval article. A higher proof than this she does not want and cannot have. Yet it s pleasant for her to realize that the facts established by these great com peti live testa, these scientific examinations made under direction of the government, exactly parallel those she had before worked out in her own common-sense, practical way. It does not appear that anv baking powuer, when presented in competition wim tne Koyal, either at tne govern' ment tests or before World's Fair juries has ever received favor or award over the Koyal or made an enual showing in purity, strength or wholesomeness. A Vision of Heaven Itefnre Heath. V. li Gaines, an old colored local preacher of Cambridge, O., awoke his wife Tuesday night and told her he had a vision of heaven. The angels who gathered around him assured him he wonld enter parudise and be with them April 28, at 7 o'clock in the evening. In spite of his friends' ridicule the old man made his preparations accordingly. Thongb he insisted his time was at hand, there were no signs of coming dissolution until just before the scheduled time, when he quietly lay down and died. If the smallpox epidemic reaches this jountry from Europe, we shall not expect it to spread extensively, for the laws re- Siecting vaccination are intelligently carried ont Still, the larra immigrant hands. He continued to ait in his hnd- popn'wwn will need looking after, and died position, for some time, then, after Sfag houses will need rigid inspection. Chlrago'a Motley Crowds. Sixteen races, with features built on all the lines of facial architecture, rode side by side in a World's fair smoker last evening. The collection was so speckled and mottled in disposition and color that a census was taken. There were two gibliering Zulus, who had come witb African diamond dust; three sod Turks, with fezzea and scimiters; a gronp of Chinese actors; a tteusive Spaniard, with sombrero; a begoggled Englishman, who divided a strap with an Arab; a brace of Frenchmen, all angles and points: a high browed and long whiskered Russian, a bronzed Greek, a Kansas farmer; just- over Germans, who crowded a mild man nered man from Ceylon; a handsome Viennese; two Egyptians, with bare legs; four Venetian gondoliers in citi zen s clothes, and a Norwegian commis sioner.

In tins cent ury of enlight enment, we have Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel lets, which cure all liver, stomach and bowel derange ments in the most effective way. Assist Nature little now and then, with a gentle. cleansing laxative, thereby removing of- lending matter Irom the stomach and bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver aim quickening its tardy action. and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions boils, constipation, piles, fistulas and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bowels, they would have less fre quent occasion to call for their doctor's services to subdue attacks ot dangerous diseases. That, of all known agents to accom- flish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant 'ellets are uuequaled, is proven by the tact that once used, tliey are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to fur ther constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity, with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and indigestion.
