1t is astonishing to what peculiar methods
people will sometimes resort to advance
their own and iniure others interests. One
OF the latest and most untaire xpedients is
that OF certain manufacturers OF baking
powders, who are endeavoring TO preju.
dice consumers against all other prepare.
tons than their own by exhibiting from
house to house test purporting to show
the Qualityof various powders. The facts
are, this so-called test,which we are told
simply consists in adding little iodine to a
sample, can in no way reveal the true value
OF baking powder, and is only calculated
to deceive and prejudice the minds OF the
ignorant and unwary. Some powders are
injurious, but this can only appear by an
atysis. The true value Of baking powder
consists in the amount OF leSvening gas
which is given off when heat and moisture
are added to the -four, and it is only the
chemist, with the aid OF chemical applfan.
ces, who can determine the volume Of gas
which any powder can evolve. We will
venture to say that there is not an article
prepared for food that might not be manip-
ulated by chemical tests to prove that
something was wrong about it, and when q
person goes iuto a kitchen, or before a
housekeeper, who is not to be presumed to
understand chemical relations, and per
forms an experiment Of even the simplest
character, it isnot difficult to impress one
that something awful is the matter. As to
baking powders, we could suggest dozen
tests that would be ridiculous in giving a
lair idea OF their relative merits to an unin.
structed mind as tho one here mentioned.
The truth is, that the best test to make Of
baking powder is to try tin making bread,
and see which makes the most and best,
To this practical test all Of the established
brands OF powders have been put up, and
housekeePers have very generally made up
their minds which they prefer, and the To-
dine testers will find ultimately that house
holds that have for years used fayorite
brand will not be apt tomake a change on
the test proposed.-Americdn Grocer,

A HORRIBLE CRIME

with Being Guilty.
A brute in human form was arraigned be.
fore Squire Philips Saturday evening and
II all the stories told about him be true, he
will in all probability have hard time Of
1t before he escapes from the clutches OF the
law.
Early in the afternoon, Mrs. Ellen Bul.
lock, an aged lady OF about sixty years came
to the 'Squire's Office from her home In Full.
'toDt and with tears Of shame and sorrow In
her eyes, made information against Geo. W.
alias Cam" Bullock, her son, charging him
with two OF the most infamous, out.
rageous and horrible crimes a person could
be guilty OF; the particulars OF this bestiai
act are not fit for publication; suffice It to say
that the sufferers are his two daughters, Hat.
tie and Lizzie, aged nine and seven years.
A warrant was quickly made out and
placed in the hands Of ConstabIes Lauchlin
and Smith, who started Immediately. Bul.
lock lives In a small house Immediately al

looking man, about thirty.fivc or forty years
old, and does not appear to be oyerburdened
with common sense; in fact, Judging
from his action and appearance. one
would be inclined to think that he was noi
altogether right in the upper story.
The officers were not long in reaching their
destination, and while Smith guarded the
rear exit Laughlin knocked at the front
door. George was found under q table, where
he bad crowded on hearing the officers voice.
He was quickly brought out and taken 10 Inc
'Squire's office, where he endeayored to feigu
ignorance Of the charge on which he was az.
rested, and when 1t was explained to him, he
denied ftinthc most emphatic terms, stating
that the whole matter was put up lob" on
the part OF his relatives, and requested Inc
Justice not to let the newspapers get wind 81
Before leaving Bullock house the children
were questioned and the story told by their
grandmother found TO be true. Bullock, h
6efaultot $1,000 bail, was sent to Jail until
10 o'clock this morning.
1t has since been learned that he was very
cruel to bis wife and on last Friday beat hei
until the blood ran out OF her ears-she still
bears the marks She bore all OF this and
made no complaint but learning what he haS
done to his children has determined to pusl,
