The report published here of the death of

Revival Of Corn.

We have rot been able to obtain for this week
oil the information we wish in answer TO the
Registers doubts and queries.
While we acknowledge our error in calling the
pollen of corn, the .'boom," we can inform our
respected neigbbor that we have in garden
stalks of corn, the tassels Of which were so
nearly dead when the rains came that that part
directly supporting the tassels were white and
hard, but after the rains shoots of corn appeared
and silked on those stalks. In somc cases good,
well filed ears were made. in others the grains
on the cobs were very scattering We can only
account for the filing of the new ears on the
old stalks by supposing that they were impreg-
mated by the pollen from late planted corn in the
patch, that tasselled after the rains set in.

. HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE.

A nuisance that troubled Europe fifty
years ago is beginning TO attract attention
here-that is putting alum in the bread We
eat. The bread must be eight" that it may Be
disested ; that Is it mustbe flledby the Veil
Known cells We are accustomed to ZEE in it.
Where beer or ale is brewed those who
understand healthy bread making procure
yeast, which "lightens" the bread better
than any substitute, and Is wholesome.
Where yeast il not readily to be obtained
"baking powders" are resorted to, and out
of them comes mischief. B~icarbonate Of
soda and cream of tartar, or tartaric acid,
are the Usual constituents of a good baking
powder. Cream Of ~tartaric acid sells at
from sixty cents to eighty-fi five cents a
pound. This high price has led Cheap
baking powders" to be made Of alum, as a
substitute for some or all of the cream Of
tartar. Alum will make bread look winter
SO that the bakers can make an Inferior
flour salable AZ bread by its use; and they
use it, in some places calling it rock" SO
that no inadvertent expression may not-let
Outsiders" know that alum is used. Alum
is an injurious article to the human consti-
tuition in large quantities, OF il small guam.
titles often repeated. 1t is the small guam
titles, taken every meal, that do the mis-
chief to bread. Alum is cheap-three
cents a pound-to the pocket but it takes
what IL so saved out of the stomach, and
takes it with fearful interest. Alum ia an
astringent, and is used by dyers and Others
as such. Taken. frequently in the, human
stomach, it produces heartburn, Indigestion,
gripping, constipation, dyspepsia, and kin.
dred troubles resulting from irritation of
the mucous membrane, produced BY the
astringent properties OF alum. All these
are nice things to be inflicted by the bread
eaten morning, noon, and evening. To
young children. growing girls, persons of
weakly frame and aedentary occupations,
this alum bread is poison most especially.
If the reader wants to know something of
alum let him suck a lump of it, notice it's
effects upon the mouth, which is something
like that of an unripe persimmon then let
MIN reflect how it acts upon the tender, de-
licate coats of the stomach. DR.. Henry A.
Mott, the celebrated analytical chemist,
analysed t%wenty-three of the baking pow
ders most in use and found alum in all but
one. 1t is time we took measures to stop
this bread poisoning that kills our little
ones and perpetuates dyspepsia and cholera.
DR.. Mott, in his review Of the subject in
the Scientific American, makes special
mention of having analysed the Royal
Baking Powder, and found it composed Of
wholesome materials. He also advises the
public to avoid purchasing baking powders
as sold loose or in bulk, as found BY analy'
ses of many samples that the worst adulter
atoms are practiced in this form. The
label and trademark of a we'll known and
responsible manufacturer, he adds, is the
best protection the public can have.-Mem-
phiis Appeal.
