The Use of Ammonia in Baking.

The recent discoveries in science and
chemistry are fast reVolutionizing our
daily domestic economies. Old meth
DDS are giving way to the light of mod
ern investigation, and the habits and
methods of our fathers and mothers are
stepping down and out, to be succeeded
by new ideas, with marvellous rapidity.
In no department of science, however,
have been more rapid strides been made
than in its relation to the preparation
and preservation of human food. Scien-
lists. having discovered how to traverse
space. furnish heat and beat time itself
by the application of natural forces, and
to do a hundred of other things promo
tive of the comfort and happiness of hu-
man kind, are naturally turning their
attention to 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 ammonia can
be properly put as a leaveHing agent,
and which indicate that this familiar
salt is hereafter to perform an active
part in the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia IS an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of il upon a knife and
hold over a flame, and it VIII almost i'm
mediatelv be entirely developed into gas
and pass off into the air. The gas thus
formed is a simple composition Of nitro
gen and hydrogen. Nc residue 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 a sup
plement to these articles. a small
quantity of the ammonia in the dough
is effective in producing bread that will
be lighter, sweeteT, 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 am

trace of the Tesiduum whatever The
light, fluffy, flaky appearance, so desir-
able in biscuits, etc, and is sought after
by professional cooks, is said to be i'm
parted to them only by the use Of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
features 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 6est known
products of the laboratory If, as seems
| to be justly claimed for it, the applica-
| tion of its properties to the purpose OF

SUPERSTITION ABOUT BEES.

Curious superstition prevail In Eng
land as to the relation of bees and their
owners. A writer in CdsSeL's Hdgdztne
mentions several of these faucies as fol-
lows

dead ?''

when she buried her husband, forgot to
give the bees bit of mourning, and
now. sir, they all be dead. though the
hive be pretty nigh full of honey.
What pity it is folks Will be so forget
full -
Mrs - continued to explain that
whenever the owner of part of a hive of
bees died it was requisite TO have
little bit of black stuff on the hive 9TH
erwise the bees would follow the exam
pie of their owner.
Mrs. IS husband, who listened
while this scrap of folklore was being
communicated by his wife, now added
My wife, sir, be always talking lot
of nOnsenses, sir, but this about the bees
is true, for l seed il myself.''
This custom of putting the hives in
mourning is very common. and is strict
ly adhered to, from an apprehension of
the omission being attended with fatal
consequences.
At Cherry Burton, on death in the
family, q scarf of black Grape is applied
to each hive on the occasion of the fun
eIal, and pounded funeral iscuit soak
ed in wine is placed at The entrance to
hives,
"A neighboT of mine,'' says a writer,
"bought hive of bees at an auction of
the goods of a farmer who had recently
died. The bees seemed very sick!y and
not likely to thrive, when the neighbours
servant bethought him that they had
never been put into mourning for their
late master.
ION this he got piece of Grape and
tied it to a stick, which he fastened to
the hive. After this the bees recovered
and when l saw them they were in
very flOuriShlng State-a result which
was unhesitatingly attributed to their
having been put in mourning"
a curious supeTstitious custom for

ing around the beehives that belonged
to the deceased-if he had any-at the

JAPANESE Tor SPINNING. There
are very many side-shOws to attract the
pleasure-seeker. all of them being with
in the compass of the humblest, the
chargest being from one-half cent to
one cent and half. In these places
are witnessed Juggling tricks of real
merit, and tOp-spinning that is a be-
wilderment to the lOokeI-On. Tops of
all sizes are spun with the aid of "a cord,
and made TO revolve by the action of
the hands Onlv. An expert will throw
his top from him, and by the action of
the string, as it unwinds draws it back
into his hand-of course without it hay-
ing touched the ground. An unopened
fan is then taken into the other hand,
and the top is placed upon one of its
sides, and spun along it, Then the fan
is opened, aud the top continues to spin
along its edge, to its further side, and
and along it until the hand is reached,
when mp it runs on thearm to the shoul-
der, and across the back and down the
other arm to the fan again. Then it is
tossed into the air and caught on one of
the corners of the open fan, from which
it is tossed again and again into the air
as it deScends.
1t is wonderful the way they can man
ipUlate a top. have seeu them take
large-sized one, having a spindle by
which it was made to rotate, and by
simply placing the spindle between the
palms of the hands, and drawing one
hand back while advancing the other a
Bumber of times it attained sufficient
velocity, when it was taken from a ia
bic on which it was spinning and a turn
taken around the spindle from string
that was pendent from a paper lantern
that hung high up against the ceiling of
the building. Up went the top into the
lantern, which opened like an umbrella,
and wealth of festoons of bTight-color-
ed tissue paper descended from it all
about the stage. Those who witnessed
Little All Right and his troupe of Chi
nese acrObatS that exhibited their tricks
years ago in the United States will re-
