The trial of William Meager Bartlett at
Exeter for the murder of his child ended in
the conviction of the accused, and sentence
of death followed in the ordinary course.
In several respects, says the London Times,
the case was one of an unusual character.
Bartlett was man of some position. He
was the manager of some granite quarries
at Lanlivery, in Cornwall, and therefore
in rank of life considerably above that of
the usual run of murderers. The case is
also remarkable because Bartlett was twice
tried for his life. The tragedy arose out
of an immoral acquaintance. Bartlett is
married man, with several children, but
he formed connection with widow of
the name of Wherry, living in his neigh
borhood. A female child was born, and it was
manifestly of great Importance to Bartlett
that this fact should not become known.
Mrs. Wherry's confinement took place at
Newquay, upon June 4, last. Bartlett set
to work to persuade Wherry to allow the
infant to be taken away and handed over,
as he pretended, to some persons un-
known, who would take care of it. Even
the fate thus destined for the child was
cruel enough, but it is justice to Wherry to
admit that she does not seem to have been
in any way an accomplice of her para
mours real designs. Upon June %, in &C
cordance with instructions received from
the accused, Wherry handed over the baby
to Mrs. Knight. 1t was dressed in a
long white gown, the Identification of
which formed the most important link in
the evidence, and at the same time some
baby's clothes were given to Mrs. Knight
for the use of the child. Mrs. Knight
took the child to Par station, where Bart
lett met her by appointment. and directed
her to accompany him for short way un-
til they met the nurse who was ultimately
to take charge of it. This was done, and
the child given into the keeping of Mr..
and Mrs. Philip, who presently arrived at
the place of meeting.

SLOW SUICIDE,
Il WoMan.s PhenonteHaJ Persistence of
Purpose.

Il VoMaN's Phen0meH0J Persistence O,
Purpose.
Since the hideously original deed of
self-slaughter of the demented German in
Whitefriars, says the London Telegraph,
who actually succeeded in decapitating
himself by means of roughly improvis-
ed guillotine, there have been few suicides
of more determined and more unusual
character than that committed by an un-
happy laundress, seventy 1.-TWO years of age,
on whose remains an inquest was held a
few days ago by DR.. Danford Thomas.
The husband of the deceased is ten years
her senior, and he gave evidence to the eff
feet that of late years she had been very
strange" in her manner. She had often
and on one occasion swallowed
a quantity of parafin oil. The hus-
band had been often advised to place her
so. saying that he was we'll able to look
after her himself and procure medical ad-
vice for her. And he was eighty-two. One
morning the old man on walking missed
his wife from his side. Search was made
for her in vain, and information was given
to the police in the belief that she had
thrown herself into the canal. which she
had often threatened to do The police
and the husband returned to the house.
and at length they discovered the body of
the poor old woman crouching in water
butt, quite dead. She must have got into
the butt by means of a box placed against
the side, knocked away the broom handle
which served as bung, and then sat down
to wait until the turncock turned on the
main at in the morning; and the
water must have been pouring over
her head for a full hour and
quarter. 1t was the opinion Of the coro-
ner that death by drowning must have en-
sued about four minutes after the water
had begun to descend on her head. The
question of time is of no great moment.
She could have got into the water butt for no
other purpose than that of self-destruc-
ton. 1t would be more instructive to
know whether she was IN a position to rise
to her feet, and so save herself when the
water began to flow, or whether she was so
wedged and jammed between the sides
OF the cask as to be unable
to stir when the torrent came
down upon her. If the last were the case
she was probably very soon suffocated. If
the first. she must have been more of an
ancient Roman than a Dane, or a dis
traught old Englishwoman either. Not
one suicide in fifty thousand, we should
say. would be able to resist that instinct of
preservation which is the first law of
nature.

slaugh Nelson's undoubted majority, and
are further of the opinion that he had bet
ter accept his defeat as gracefully as he
may. They say this while expressing their
regret that he failed of election
After reading the item Mr.. Frazee with
all the vim aud Indignation of an honest
man said:
''The item is an Infamous falsehood, and
the person who wrote it is liar. I never
expressed such sentiments, and the lie is
made out of whole cloth. 1 may have my

held any conversation with me upon the
subject. Even admitting that had any

A GOOD DINNER.

The average business man seldom knows
how to eat his dinner. He may swallow
his food. In merely doing that, he is not
much above the level Of the beasts. An
anaconda can swallow more food than we
can, and do it more completely. Many a
business man rushes to his MONDAY meal
Just as locomotive rushes up to a station
to be coaled and watered. The coal is
tossed into the tender and the water flows
into the tank, but the engine does not ex-
perienee any pleasure from either of these
processes. So with the hurried and hurry
ing man of business. He runs to the eat
ing -house with a speed with which he
seems to reproach himself for taking the
time he is about to spend. He orders
something he can bolt in the short
est possible time, and tells the waiter to
bring it Immediately, or even sooner. Then
he pounces upon it as a vulture upon its
prey. In few moments it is gone. A
moment more, and the man has gone

AMMoNIA IN BAKING POWDERs.
Its Importance as a Culinary Agent.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific Americana
The recent discoveries in science and chem
istry are fast revOlutionizing our daily domestic
economies. Old methods giving way to the
light of modern investigation, and the habits
and methods of our fathers and mothers are
stepping down and out, to be succeeded by the
new ideas, with marvellous rapidity. In no de-
part nent of science, however, have more rapid
strides been made than in its relations to the
preparation and preservation of human food.
Scientists, having discovered how to traverse
space, furnish heat, and beat time itself. by the
application of natural forces, and to do hun
dred other things prOmOtive of the comfort and
happiness OF human kind, are naturally turning
their attention to the development of other agen-
cies and powers that shall add to the years
during which man may enjoy the blessings set
before him.
Among the recent discoveries in this direction,
none is more important than the uses to which
common ammonia can be properly put as a leav-
enlng agent, and which indicate that this familiar
salt is hereafter to perform active part in the
preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceedingly
volatile substance. Place small portion of it
upon knife and hold over fame and it will
almost Immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas thus formed
is a simple composition of nitrogen and hydro
gen. No residue is left from the ammonia
This gives it superiority as leavening power
over soda and cream of tartar when used alone,
and has induced its use supplement to these
articles. A small quantity of ammonia in the
dough is effective in producing bread that will
be lighter, sweeter and more wholesome than
that risen by any other leavening agent.
When it is acted upon by the heat of
baking the leavening gas that raises the dough
is liberated. In this act it uses itself up as
1t were; the ammonia is entirely difused, leaving
no trace or neidunm whatever. The light, fluff
fly, fiaky Appearance, SO desirable in biscuits,
etc., and SO sought after by professional cooks,
is said to be impaired to them only by the use
of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manufacturers
producing the finest goods have been quick to
avail themselves of this useful discovery, and
the handsomest and best bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid of ammonia, combined
OF course with other leavening material
Ammonia is one of the best known products
Of the laboratory. If, as seems to be justly
claimed for it, the application of its properties
to the purposes of cooking results in giving us
lighter and more wholesome bread, biscuit and
cake, it will prove boon to dyspeptic humani-
ty, and will speedily force itself into general
in the new field to which science has assigned it.
