That there is alcohol in the bread we
eat admits of no doubt, and farther,
bakers in London have learned to utilize
that alcohol and convert itinto a source
Of profit without injury TO the bread.
\ recent number of the Scientific
American gives the process by which
bakers arrange the tops of their ovens
SO that the alcohol driven off from the
bread in baking may be collected and
saved. According to that journal a
very considerable quantity of alcohol
is generated in dough during the pro-
cess of fermentation which precedes
baking, the sugar formed in it during
one stage of the process being converted
into alcohol aud the carbonic acid gas
during its effort to escape causes the
dough To rise.
Some years ago. wdlearn from the
American, company was organized
in London with n capital of one hun
dred thousand dollars for the purpose
of utilizing this acid gas, their idea
being to look TO the alcohol distilled
from their bread for their profit. In
one respect their venture was q sue
cess. They obtained all the alcohol
they expected but in extracting the
whole of it from the bread they rem
dered the latter fiat aud tasteless. Good
bread it seems then requires certain
of alcohol 10 give IL the
pleasant taste and wholesome qualities
which have made it the staff of life.
Had the London company been content
with extracting from it only the
amount of alcohol which usually passes
off in baking they would have been
able 10 sell their bread as well as their
spirits. and have escaped the bank
ruptcy by which they We're soon over
taken. But they carried the thing too
far. As the Scientific American shows
il is not at all difficult TO obtain a pay
ing quantity of alcohol without injury
10 the bread, Only a slight moditica-
tion of the oven is required, a tighten
ing of the vault and the addition of a
still worm being about all that is
needed.
We do not know how this news will
affect the teetotalerS, Some of them no
doubt demand "A revival of the old Lon.
don plan by which all the alcohol was
extracted even if it does leave the
bread fiat and tasteless, in order that be
may be entirely clear of the unclean
thing" He will, however, have tol
face the other objection Of every baker
having a still in the back yard. After
all il does seem little difficult 10 be
always exactly right.

A Pleasant Eurpr1se.

We have not been having many fine
evenings of late, but Saturday evening
was an exception, and one long TO be
remembered by most of the folks at
Rockland. About fifty of the friends
Of the Rev. 8. c. Andrew, a few Of
them members of his church, assembled
at the parsonage In the way Of a sur
prise party. There was quite num-
Der of farmers present with their wives
and daughters, and when the farmers
and paper-makers met they meant to
enjoy themselves If possible. We are
glad TO say that there were not two
classes as is often seen at social gather
ings, that is one class who think them
selves above and better than the rest,
but all joined hands and everything
passed off harmopiously and to the
great satisfaction Of all present. Among
those present from around the country
were the Rev. William II. Hendrickson
and wife; Mrs Goodley, son and
daughter Mr.. George Dyson, wife and
daughter; Mr.. William Nickerson and
wife Mr.. james Maxim and wife !;
Mr.. Charles Miller and wife Mr.. John
Trimble, son and daughter Mr.. Chris
topher Fighter and sister Mr.. Amor
Chandler Mr.. William Chandler, and
host of friends from Rorkland. Two
colored gentlemen, the Rev. Ananias
Clinchum and his chorister, Pompey
Slocum, were among those present, and
afforded much amusement for all.
Music was given by Miss Hattie Good.
ley and Miss Ella Clark, and singing
was taken part in by all present. A
couple of songs we're given by the color
ed gentlemen. About half past nine
o'clock the guests were invited to al
table which fairly grosDed beneath the
load of good things, to which the party
did ample justice. After all present
had satisfied their appetites they once
more retired to the parlor, where they
put in their time in singing. Then
came the surprise. A surprise it was,
too. The Rev. William Hendrickson, in
behalf of those present, presented MIR.
Andrew with handsome purse. Mr..
Andrew was taken completely by sur
prise, and 1t was some time before he
could express his feelings of gratitude.
After the presentation sermon was
given by Ananias Clinchum, taking
for his text And Jacob rasled wild
de angels, toilin all de mite long" 1t
being Saturday night the company was
at an early hour by the Rev.

wishing Mr.. Andrew a safe voyage
