The Coming Exposition.

NEW YORK, October 23.-Mayor Ed
son issued a proclamation concerning
the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition, to be opened in New
Orleans December 1st. Hec calls atten-
ton to the fact that the United States
government will be more exhaustive in
It's exhibits than any hitherto at
tempted by it, and to the effect that
the exposition is likely to have on trade
with Central and South America,
whose annual commerce is estimated at
$676, 100000, and of which the United
States controls not more than one-ffth.
He cQmmends the exposition to citizens
of New York, and urges them to take
the interest in it that it deserves; to
further this end he calls a meeting of
citizens for Saturday next, at the Cham
Der of Commerce, when Commissioner
General Morehead will be present and
make an address.

Ammonia in Baking Powders.

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is more i'm
portant than the uses to which common
ammonia can be properly put as a
leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepare
ton of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon knife and
hold over flame, and it will almost i'm
mediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is a simple composition of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives it
its superiority as a leavening power
over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as a sup
plement to these articles. A small guam
tity 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 bak-
ing the leavening gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act it uses
itself up, as it were; the ammonia is en-
tirely diffused, leaving no trace or resi-
dunn whatever. Thelight, fluffy, faky
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 manu-
facturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves of
this useful discovery, and the handsom-
est and best bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid of ammonia,
combined, of course, with other leaven-
ing material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as seems
to be justly claimed for it, the applica-
ton 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
humanity, and will speedily force itself
into general use in the new field to
which science has assigned it.-Scientifc

A Lincoln Story.

When Mr.. Lincoln was running for
Congress on the Wing ticket, in 1874, in
the old Sangammon, Illinois, district,
there were a few Eckers in his party
In the course of a speech in the district,
he illustrated the state of his mind on
this subject by telling the story of a jack
ass he owned when young man. He
said:
"The case of that jackass was most
singular. When everything was pleas
ant all around he would kick the worst
When his rack was fullest and his
stall fixed with new straw, and every
thing real comfortable, that jackass
would start in on the almightiest spell
of kicking that was ever seen. All the
veterinary surgeons in the neighbOr-
hood came around and tried to find out
Just what made that critter kick so.
They never could agree about it. One
thing we all noticed was that he always
brayed and kicked at the same time.
Sometimes he would bray first and
then kick, but other times he would kick
first and then bray, so that confused us,
and nobody in that whole country was
ever able to find out whether that jack
ass was braying at his own kicks or kick
ing at his own brays."
