CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT BAKING PowDER.- There are practically but three general classes of the very useful compounds known as Bak- ing Powder.
 First, those composed of commercial cream of tartar, soda, and starch of four Cream of tartar is derived from peculiar matter that is deposited in the casks during the fermenta- ton of sour wines. It consists of potassa united with tartaric acid. The cream of tar tar of commerce is not usually pure, as it gen. erally contains from three to thirteen per cent. of tartrate of lime, besides uncertain quantities of sand, clay, flour, chalk, etc. In large doses it acts as 8 cathartic.
 Second, those composed of alum, soda, and starch or four. Alum is occasionally man. ufactured from the earths which contain it ready formed, but most generally from min erals called 'salum ores." In small doses it is astringent, in large doses purgative.
 Third, those composed of the acid phos- phate of lime, soda and starch. Phosphate of lime is constituent of all grains and is an important nutritiye principle and an indis- pensable element in the construction of the animal tissues. Fine white flour is much in- ferior to the Graham or whole wheat flour, becouse in the process of bolting, the phos- phates are discarded with the bran. The phosphates are necessary to sustain life, and fine, white flour alone will not sustain life, because the phosphates are not present in suf- ficient quantity.
 This has been demonstrated by actual ex- perience upon rabbi's, dogs, etc., and it was this fact and the several undesirable qualities of cream tartar for raising bread that induced Hrof. Horsford to seek for method of pro- ducing an acid phosphate of lime suitable for use in the composition of baking powders. He accomplished his purpose, and has suc- ceeded far beyond his own or his friends ex- pectations, as the Bread Preparation Ca bak- ing powder) that bears his name fully testi- fes. Baking Powder made by this process is the only one that adds anything to the nutri- tive qualities of the four Many baking pow ders contain very injurious ingredients.

A YoUNG WFEs GREATEST TRIAL.-The greatest trial of Q young wifes life is the birth of child, which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense pain. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, a new book, by Dr. J. H. Dye, one of New York's most eminent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth but results from causes easily understood and overcome. It proves conclusively that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swel1ed limbs, ner- -vousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles Physicians high ly recommend it, and say it will do all that is claimed for it.

Hon. Marc s. Hammond of South Man chester made strong address before the Conn. Temperance Union at its annual meeting in Hartford last week, from which we take few paragraphs.
 We are having hard times to-day. No de- mand for labor. Why? What would change this state of things? Ademand for the pro ducts of labor. Stop this everlasting turning of the fruits of mans brain and muscle down his throat only to curse him and his family, and let that money be used for family comforts, for boots and shoes, and the various article of family necessity which are the product of our legitimate industry. Take the $2O ,OOO,O ,OOO spent in our state this year for liquor, sum representing nearly half of the whole amount carried on the pay rolls of our manufacturers it be spent for the re- suits of productive labor, and what an impe- tus 1t would give to business.

A WONDERFUL MAcHINE.-'The Old Man. writes to the American Machinist about the times when he worked i'll the Rock Island railroad shops at Chicago. The supper table where he boarded was habitually enlivened by stories of the char acter one would expect from those who earn their bread in the cab of lecomo- tive. George Dorwart, by way of vary ing the entertainment, one night called out {:
 ''Well, I went over and saw that ma- chine to-day, and it is astonishing the fine work 1t does.''
 ssHow does it work ?" inquired.
 .tWell, said he, by means of a pedal at- tachment, fulcrumed lever converts a vertical reciprocating motion into circular movement. The principal part of the ma chine is disk which revolyes rapidly on 8 vertical plane Power is applied through the axis of the disk, and when the speed of the driving arbor is moderate the pc riphery of the machine is travelling at great velocity. Work is done on this pc riphery. Pieces of the hardest steel are by mere impact reduced to any shape the skillful operator desires"
 "What in thunder is the machine any way ?' demanded Tom Jones.
 .'Oh, it is new grindstone, replied George, and silence that could be felt passed round the supper table.
