Having procured Q large pan full
Of -four, with slssves rolled to the
elbows, I asked Bill how much cream
Of tartar ] must put in the bread, he
laughed and said it was NOT cream of
tartar that made the bread raire but
saleratus, / asked him il they didn't
use both, he said no, as acids and
alkalies had such o wonderful aifini-
ty for each other, that by uniting
they generate an entire original
chemical, scientifically known as
carbonic acid gas, which would rapid
" sublimats and pass away like a gen.
tie zephyr, leaving the bread the
consistency ofa dry Goldfish.
Being as dumb as. q gate post to
such 2 extensive elucidations," /
asked him what the usual proportion
Of saleratus was required.
Well, said he. beginning to figure

are about three gallons Of -four in

Setting down upon Tho foregoing
hypothesis, rigorous search was
made for q clean spoon, which could
nowhere be found. I then asked
Bill il. we couldn't measure the in
gredient some other way. he said he
thought we could. Now, said he,
there are about s spoonful in one
ordinary handful, and (again the old
stub Of pencil came in contact with
the cupboard door) 8 in "A, 8 times,
and accordingly the three handfuls
Of saleratus were duty administered.
Bill then said the second modus
operandi was to submerge the APP
proximate masses in o bath OF rari6ed
hydrogenated fluid termed hot wa
ter, thoroughly incorporating the
whole with o common pudding stick.
The dough was kneaded at last and
q good sized lump was yanked on
