Points for the Portrait Painter.


In regard to the attitude to be chosen for a
portrait, almost everything depends upon the
taste, penetration and quick sympathy of the
painter himself. If he perceives sufficient char
acter in his subject to Justify him in awaiting
until it unconsciousiy shows itself in some sug-
gestive manner, he will wait as long as necessary
before deciding upon the pose. And as all por-
traits should be works of art as well likenesses
he will study we'll the various indications of
character, and choose that which he believes
to be most permantly interesting as artistic
material. The choice of dress should be largely
left with the artist. This is a somewhat difficult
matter to manage in the case of lady,
as there is so often a pot costume to be perpet-
uated. But who should be possessed of taste if
an artist is not 1t is his business to have taste
No costume in portrait should be so obtrusive
as to detract from the head. Costumes worn
very often do. With mans portrait the ques,

very old people, even when perfectly well, are
often subject to a slight faintness and

Ammonia in Baking Powder.

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry none is more i'm
.portant than the use to which common
ammonia can be properly put as
leavening agent. and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepara-
ton of our daily food. c
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceediugly volatile substance. Place
small portion of it upon knife, and
hold over a fame, and it will almost
immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is simple composition of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives 1t
its superiority as a leavemng powder
over soda and cream Of tartar used
alone, and has induced in its use as a
supplement to these articles. A small
quantity 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 1t is acted upon by the
heat of baking, the leayening gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this
act it uses itself up, as it were; the
ammonia is entirely diffused, leaving
no trace or residuum whatever The
light, fluffy, haky appearance so desir-
able in biscuits, etc., and SO sought
after by professional cooks, is said to
be impaired to them only by the use of
this agent. 7i0b
The bakers and baking powder
manufacturers producing the finest
goods have been quick to avail them
selves 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 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 sentence has assigned it,

Northern Cheyennes.

FoRT KEoGH, Montana, July 10
News of serious trouble among northern
cheyenne Indians has been received
here. Following is an official telegram:
The commanding officer at Fort Gus
ter reports that acting agent Stephens,
for Rosebud and Tongue River Indians
of Northern Cheyenne reserve. is at
Custer with acting agent Burslow, OF
the Crows, and that Stephens reports
there is danger of serious trouble be-
tween the Rosebud Indians under Two
Moons and Little Wolf, and the Tongue
River Indians, headed by Black Wolf
and White Bull. The latter are
attempting to force the Rosebud
Indians to live on Tongue River,
and threaten to kill agent Step
hens if he attempts to interfere
with their plans" The report
saws the Indians are much excited over
the matter. Rosebud Indians positively
refuse to go. There are now in camp
with the Tongue River Indians nnder
Crazy Head and American Horse. The
latter has said he will die rather than
go back to the Pine Ridge agency.
2 An exciting report has also reached
here that the Northern Cheyennes have
broken out and they are led to the war
path by the news from the Southern
Cheyennes in Indian Territory.
Still another report says that in an
engagement between Carpenter and
Robinson's cowboys, five cowboys and
seven Indians were killed. These re-
ports all seem we'll founded and there
is great excitement among the ranchers
and settlers on Tongue and Rosebud
Rivers. A detachment of soldiers under
Major T. II. Logon left for the scene OF
disturbance to investigate.

charges of scandaIous conduct and cul-
pable inefficiency, met this morning.
for the defense filed a demurrer
claiming there was nothing in the char
ges or specifications to show any criln-
inality on the part of the Paymaster-
General and hence he was not punish
able. JEFF Chandler spoke two
hours in support of the de-
murrer. He argued it was an
every day occurrence for government
contracts to be charged or extended,
and cited numerous instances where the
government has been obliged to pay for
such contracts. The Assistant-Attorney
General replied that while the pay
master was not considered guilty OF
crime, he could be punished for the
abuse of discretion. He said Smith had
doubled the contracts and had
ordered contracts for the one fiscal year
paid out of the appropriations for an
other. thus involving the payments
subject to his order, in complications
with the government. He declared
Smith had acted in the very teeth of the
law; had defied the law. and to say this

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Under date OF
Sayanville, United States of Colombia,
July LIST, Admiral Jouett reports bat
= Re between the governmentalforces and
the revolutionists, in which 1000 men
were killed. The Admiral says: THE
revolutionary forces number $500 men,
but they hold number of large river
steamers and are able to move freely
on the Magdalena River, while the gov
eminent forces, having but two small
steamers, are obliged to move by
land. On June 10th, General Camargo,
very prominent Colombian politician
and leader, arrived at this port in an
English steamer and Immediately as
sumed command of the revolutionary
army. The arrival of Camargo. who is
a violent Liberal, etfectually defeated
the efforts to secure peace by treaty,
which would undoubtedly have been
successful had he remained away a
while longer. Camargo quickly attacked
government force of 1900 with his
whole army. Although Camargo claims
to have won the battle, he admits
suffering severe loss, including
seven OF his best generals. 1t is re-
ported chat each side lost about 500
men. The revolutionists clearly intend
to confne their operations to the Mag
dalena River and interior. This, to-
gether with the fact that government
has now steam vessel of war on the
coast, insures the Isthmus and the
vessels on the high seas against any
chance of disturbance by the revolu-
tionists. All reports from the Isthmus
indicate that political matters there
remain settled, and peace and good
order prevail. There is, however, an
alarming epidemic of yellow fever at
AspinwaIl and all over the Isthmus."
