Ammonia in Baking Powders.
The recent discoveries in science
and chemistry are fast revolutioniz
ing our daily domestic economies.
Old methods are 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 rapidlty. In no de-
partment of science, however, have
Es5re rapid strides been made than
in its relations to the preparation and
preservation of human food. Scien-
lists, have discovered how to traverse
space, furnish heat, and beat time it.
self, by the application of natural
forces, and to do hundred other
things promotive of the comfor: and
happiness of human kind, are natur-
ally turning their attention to the
development of other agencies 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 am
monia can be properly put as a leav-
ening agent, and which indicate that
this familiar salt is hereafter to per-
form an active part in the prepare
ton of our daily food,
The carbonate of ammonia is an
exceedingly volatile substance. Place
a small portion of it upon knife and
hold over flame, and 1t will almost
Immediately be entirely developed
into gas and pass off into the air. The
gas thus formed is simple compost
ton of nitrogen and hydrogen. No
risidue is left from the ammonia.
This gives it its superiority as a
leavening power over soda and cream
of tartar when used alone, and has
induced its use as 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 it were !;
the ammonia is entirely diffused,
leayins no trace or residuum what
ever. The light, fluffy, fiaky appear
ance, so desirable in biscuit, etc., and
so sought after by professional cooks,
is said to be impaired to them only
by the use of this agent.
The bakers AMI baking powder
manufacturers producing the finest
goods haye been quick to avail them
selves of this useful discovery, and
the handsomest and best bread and
cake are now largely risen by the aid
of ammonia, combined ofcourse 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 it's properties to the
purpose of cooking results in giving
us lighter and more wholesome
bread, biscuit. and cake, it will prove
boon to dyspeptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general
use in the new field to which science
has assigned it.-Scieatvfc American.

HOW WEST VIRGINIA MAY IN
CREASE HER REVENUE.

There is one view of the question OF
reducing internal taxes that strikes US
as of more weight than any other that
- has been urged in its favor, although it
has not been used by the advocates OF
reduction.
1t is the fact that if these federal taxes
which are really not needed for the
support of the national government
were abolished, it would be possible for
the States to incorporate many of them
in their own revenue systems and thus
greatly relieve their local financial condl-
tons.
Many of the States are largely in
debt, and to such an extent that even
to pay the interest on their
indebtedness is a burden which
puzzles the best financiers and ineites
to measures of reputation. If they
could turn the taxes which the federal
government collects within their terri
tory, into ther respective Safe treasures
the problem would easily be solved.
Take for example the federal taxes
on spirits, beer and tobacco. These
constitute, perhaps, three-fourths of the
federal revenues. Every year the
surplus collected by the national gov
eminent is Sl5O,OOO,OOO. II even this
surplus were divided equally between
the States there would be nearly 81, 00O,-
900 annually to each for State purposes.
If only the tax on spirits and tobacco
were left to the States they would have
perhaps 100000 each for State pur-
poses.
With no Federal tax on these articles
the State of West Virginia, for example,
could collect q sufficient excise on them
to enable her to abolish all other taxa
ton; to allow real and personal estate
TO go entirely free, and then have
enough surplus revenue to gridirOn the
State with railroad lines, and make
other public improvements that are
now entirely beyond her reach.
These are considerations sufficiently
strong, it would seem, to induce the
States to combine against the continue
ton of tax by the Federal Govern
ment which it really does not need and
which, i'm effect, is robbing the State.
Spirits, beer and tobacco are not re-
garded as estimable and exemplary
commodities. 1t is claimed that the TO-
pular sentiment is not in favor of re-
duction of the tax upon them. Even
dealers in these commodities appear
willing to pay heavy tax. But it is
not essential, nor is it right, that the ma
tional government should have the
principal benefit accruing from the en-
Ormous revenues theyprOduce. Let the
States have it. Let the general govern
ment reduce and the States collect for
their own use the tax now assessed
upon these articles, and nobody can

THE Association Of Distillers which
recently met in Chicago, have, it seems
to us, pretty effectually spiked some of
the guns of the Ohio campaign. We
are waiting to hear how Charlie Foster
4 Co. will deal with the following reso'
lutions adopted by the Distillers' Associ-
alton:
WHEREAS, It is well known that the
American people were brought up to pre-
serve an orderly Sabbath, and laws are on
the statute books forbidding all kinds Of
labor on that day; therefore,
Resolred, That we are in favor of enforc-
ing those laws, and of asking no special
privilege for the business we are en-
gsged in.
Resolred, That the fact that prohibition
does not prohibit has been abuRdantly
proved; therefore, we are in favor of a we'll
digeSted license law that will protect the
State rs we'll as the license, with the price
at such point aS will yield large revenue,
reduce the number of drinking places,
while elevating and making more respecta-
bic this branch of business.

DOES THE DEVIL TAKE A HOLLI-
DAY?

Yesterday was day Of rest in Wheel
ing in the strictest sense ofthe term.
Even the churches observed it. Their
pulpits were silent, their doors closed,
and the ministers -"Of' ona SPREE"
Church-goers wert wandering up and
down the streets seeking n Sabbath ser
vice of any kind and by any denomi-
nation, but it was not to be easily found.
On Chapline street, where there are
rs many as five or six churches within
distance of three squares, every door
was closed. Squads of people went
from one to the other, looking at the
barred and fOrbidding doors, and think
ina, no doubt, that q church was the
most silent and fOrsaken looking place
in the city.
Ifthere had been any one desiring
funeral yesterday, the religious ser
vices would probably have had to be dis
pensed with for want of minister.
Now, we are accustomed to hear very
frequent and earnest exhortatiOns from
the pulpit upon the fierce conflict neces-
sary to be waged against the powers
of Darkness"
The devil. we are told, is going about
the world as a roaring lion, seeking
when he may devour. Christians are
exhOrted to be on their guard. They
must "watch and pray" The evil foe
is willy and ever on the alert. Ministers
complain of the apathy of the better
clements of society. They complain
that so small proportion of the popu-
lation attend public worship.
Nevertheless, when the Summer
season comes around, the interests Of
Christianity do not appear to be so i'm
portant but that work can he suspended
for month or two. The doors of the
sanctuary are closed, the pastor skips to
the seashore, or the mountain, and the
fiocks are left to the tender mercy of the
wolves.
In view of the easy-going habits of
the churches and their officials, IL be-
comes an interesting inquiry as to
whether the devil is accustomed to take
a holiday about this time, or whether
he is having things all his own way?
