PROF. LEACH RESIGNS.

AT the last meeting of the Board of
Education of the city OF Kenosha, Wis
consin, the following communication
was received from Prof. Leach and pre-
scented to the Board:
KENosHA, July 8, 1883.
To the Hon. Board of Education.
GENTLEMEN Constituting your action
at your last regular meeting. in which
you announced that the teachers so de-
string might remain in your employ an
other year, as applying to the Principal
as we'll as to the other teachers, wish to
thank you for this courtesy and mark Of
approval given our work-one which
you have had the kindness to repeat
many times.
The work in which we have been en-
gagged gives ample opportunity for the
manifestation and exercise of those
higher qualities of manhood, unselfish-
ness, public spirit, and foresight that
has due regard to the future welfare
both of the individual and of the state.
As look back over period of eight
(8) years. during which time l have
been at the head of your schools, recall
no instance in which the Board has
failed to act the part of men, and of
gentlemen. More than that, do recall
instances in which their united and
prompt action has demonstrated their
deep interest in the cause of education,
ard their determination to sustain and
advance the same at whatever cost.
Only he who has passed the ordeal oil
deportation can know the myriad oil
tendrils reaching out to the many homes
tby which teacher is held to the com
| munity in which he has labored. We,
difficult as it is, the time has come wher
/ mus. state to the Board that I am nc
longer candidate for the position o
Principal of the schools.
The uniform courtesy and consisten
action ofthe Board have not only stimu
lated your Principal to put forth hi
best efforts in behalf of the interests tina
you represent, but have contributed il
q no small degree to the success of sucl
! Iefforts.
| If on taking q review Of this period
shall seem that good work has bee
\ done, the best evidence of it will b
found in the character and conduct (
those who have gone out from GU
schools. While the number is deplol

NUTRITIOUS BAKING POWDERS.
By PRoF. DoREMUs, OF BELLEVUE MEDI
CAL COLLEGE, N. Y.

1t il serious problem for the physio
logical chemist to discover the bes,
method of supplying the human system
especially an exhausted one, with the
requisite amount of phosphate food fol
the organism to remain in health. The
phosphate salts are never wanting in
the most nourishing varieties of food
whether vegetable or animal. They are
closely allied to all the vital functions
are constantly being eliminated from
the body, and must be replaced by q
fresh supply. The testimony of thous,
ands goes to show that under the preva-
lent conditions and habits of American
life, there are few who are not greatly
benefited when they partake of these
same phosphates as restorative agents.
The sales Of phosphate preparations for
medicinal use, or as mild tonic, have
assumed enormous proportions.
On April 22d, 1856, Prof. E. N. Hors-
ford secured his letters patent for the
manufacture and use of an acid phos-
plate of lime to be incorporated with
starch and bicarbonate of soda, and thus
serve rs baking powder. This is the
first instance in which, besides serving
as an serating agent, baking powder
was to add nutritive elements to the
bread. Phosphate powders are to day
the sole exemplifcation OF this import
ant principle. The natural phosphates
removed from the grain in the process
of boiling the -four are by Horsford's
method restored through the baking
powder. While the residues which all
baking powders leave, except those
which consist of salts which volatilize
completely under the heat of the baking
oven, are of a nature which makes it. a.
matter of doubt whether they should be
into the system, in case of
the phosphate powders the residue is
of positive value and is not foreign to
the -four, but composed of the same
salts, practically, which form the ash of
the cereal grain.-Scieragfc american.

Some farmers declare sheep do not
pay, and others that COWS do not afford
an adequate profit for the labor re-
quircd. The truth is, some farmers
make more profit from their sheep than
from their cows; and others make more
profit from their cows. 1t depends on
a farmers situation and his likings. A
case in point is Mr.. Charles Phillips, OF
Salem. He has already sold seven COWS
at good prices and will sell more, and
run his farming more into sheep, be.
cause he can make better profits.

WOOL.

Operations in the new wool clip con.
tinue light in all parts of the country, ir
the interior because the Eastern dealers
are generally unwilling to pay the prices
that are asked or to make the advances
on consignments that are desired, and
on the seaboard because the manufac.
turers are not taking supplies in excess
of their nearby requirements. The pre-.
vailing feeling is one Of uncertainty
The heavyweight season is pretty much
over, and little is likely to be done in
light weights, beyond the preparation Of
samples until the outlook for the mar
ket becomes more definite. Shearing
has been pushed except in the more
northern attitudes. The condition of
the new clip is commonly reported to be
good. Representatives of the mills are
buying to some extent in the country.
In the eastern markets the purchases by
dealers so far this year are universally
said to be much smaller than year ago
at this time.
A large attendance continues at the
London sales, with free purchases on the
part Of domestic and continental buyers
alike. Prices are nominally unchanged,
but in some descriptions weaker ten
dency is observed.
Small stocks are held at Boston, the
old supplies having been closed out in
great measure while the receipts of the
new clip are slow. Buyers are ready
sellers at current values, while The
manufacturers are taking supplies only
in the hand-to-mouth fashion. Fine
aeeces are dull throughout the list.
There is some activity in California wool
of this years production, and Australian
stock is in fair request. The receipts
since January / are reported at 1872 900
beles Of domestic wool, as against 203,-
