BITTER BREAD,

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them disagreeahle, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use of
all impure baking powders, and is
caused either by their containing
alum introduced to make cheap
article), by the impure and adultera-
ted character of other ingredients
used, or from the ignorance of their
of combining them. These baking
powders leave in the bread a residum
formed of lime, earth, alum, or other
deleterious matters, not always,
though frequently, tastable in the
food, and by all physicians classed as
injurious to the health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this
serious defeat. In its use no residum
is left, and the loaf raised by its al.
ways sweet, light, and wholesome,
and noticeably tree from the peculiar
taste complained of. The reason of
this is because it is composed of moth
ing but absolutely pure materials
scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions of acid and aIkali
to act upon and destroy each other,
while producing the largest amount
of rising power. We are justified in
this assertion from the unqualified
statements made by the Government
chemist, who after thorough and ex-
haustive tests recommended the
"Royaln for Governmental use be-
cause of its superiority over all others
in purity, strength, and wholesome
ness. There is no danger of bitter
bread or biscuit where it alone is used.

How to put down pork.

"Hog killing" is close at hand, and
as the summers in this region are fa-
tai to pork in the barrel unless proper
ly packed, our experience in curing or
packing pork so that it will remain
pure all the year, may be useful. Sc
lect the required number of healthful,
we'll fattened hogs=-say those whose
ages are ten to fourteen months-and
whose weight averages 200 to $50 lbs,
aud cut up the clear middlings in
suitable sized pieces. When properly
cooled, put layer of salt at the bot
tom of thoroughly clean, dry barrel,
at least an inch thick, and then pack
lightly one layer of clear pork, each
piece placed on its edge. Now put
salt on again to fill up the interstics
between the pieces and to make an
other layer of salt over the meat.
Then add another layer of salt sue
cessively, till the cask is nearly full,
putting over the last layer two inches
or so of salt; now take cold water and
make brine as strong as salt can
make it, and pour this time over the
meat. putting in enough to cover the
upper layer of meat with the brine.
When pork is cured this way it will
keep good for years. The moment it
is slowed and packed away it needs
no more attention or watching. The
top of the barrel should be made
small enough to put over the meat, q
cover with a weight pressing it down.
This gives easy access to the picked
pork, and keeps 1t under the brine.
No one need fear using too much salt.
Use it layishly, and when the meat is
all gone take the brine and scatter
over the garden. Used in this way 1t
will be worth to the farmer all it has
cost him especially if applied where
corn and potatoes are to be planted,

TIE THOMPSON TRAGEDY.

The motive of Winfield b. Thompson in
shooting his wife and himself is likely to re-
main wrapped 10 mystery. Various theories are
advanced the one most in favor being that the
Young man was without money and had been
unable to secare loan, and so chose death for
both his bride and himself as the easiest way
out of the difficulty. This explanation is not
wholly satisfactory. 1t is hard to conceive of
man IN his senses acting in this way. and ac-
cordng to all accounts Thompson was bright,
intelligent fellow. lie had moderate income
in his own right, and his father as in comfort
able circumstances so that the son, who is not
said to have been extravagant in his habits or
tastes, should not have been very hard pushed
for money. Besides, his friends say that he
could have borrowed $1,000 without difficulty.
Nevertheless, when taken to the hospital only
SIS cents was found in 1homDson's pockets,
although he had planned trip to Philadelphia
and the Yves, and his wife was putting on her
hat in preparation for the journey when the
shots which ended her life were fired
That there was the slightest ground for jeal-
ousy on the part of the young husband does not
appear. The couple seem to have been de-
votedly attached, although Thompson had re-
Gently been engaged to young woman in Kan
sas City. 1t is possible that his marriage may
have been fastened by pique or desire for
fancied revenge and that he rcpented when too
late. Then unwilling to wound his wfe's feo-
:ngs by acknowledging the truth and mortified
at being unable to give her the luxury which
she evidently had expected when he married
her, he may have decided that death was the
happest issue of a union which would have
made life lie for him and misery for her if
the truth were known. The shooting of the
wife was plainly Intentional from the position
of the wounds and the fact that two shots were
fired at her; the suicide naturally followed.
That all this could have occurred while the
chief actor was in sound mind is hardly posi-
BILE; and those who hold that no one commits
suicide or murder who is not insane at the mo-
ment of commission will doubtless find their
theory strengthened by this sad occurrence.
