to surrender their tails, and then be al
lowed to roam at large, increase and
multiply, is base ibel.-It was war to
death here, as the numerous remains of
the enemy, lying on the field of battle,
will amply testify. Twoyoung warriors
named William p. LEM and Michael Och
have slain 1000 of the enemy, thereby
netting nearly $4,000. Others have
slain as many in proportion. That the
commissioners were not correctly in
formed as to certain other towns, our
braves do not deny. Travellers who have
passed through the adjoining town of
Lake Henry report the phenomenal spec
tacle of gophers running around without
tails, and our warriors repel with indig-
nation the charge that the said tailless
gophers emigrated from this town. The
warriors propose to send a delegation
to Mr.. Whitney of Melrose, to request
him to come down and investigate the
matter. They feel confident that that
gentleman as county commissioner will
do them justice. All hopes of having the
time extended have been giver-but when
hostilities open next year, the gophers
and the county surplus will become aware
of the fact that our warriors mean bust
ness.

cure that route.
The new school house in district Fl is
nearly completed. It was built at cost
of $500, which is considered was outra-
geously cheap pine by the different con-
tractors who put in bids at the time.
The district has the benefit of the compe-
tition and the building is a credit, in
every way, to Matthias Hennen, the con-
tractor.

Harper's Magazine for June is an ex-
ample of what magazine for early sum-
mer ought to be. 1t contains a judicious
mixture of the best things in literature,
and is thus suited to all the moods of a
June day. Fiction is provided for lazy
hours by w. D. Howells, Henry James
and William Black, and there is much
charming poetry. Neither are solid arti-
cles for serious reading lacking, and the
artistic features of the number are most
delightful. Reinhart, Abbey, Charles
Graham, E. P. Sanguinetti, Alfred Par
sons, wv. H. Hyde and F. Barnard, all
contribute specimens of their best work.
The frontispiece is an excellent portrait
of the late Mrs. craik, and belongs to
the article on London as Literary
Centre, which abounds in good likeness

The Novelist, Alden's new weekly mag
azine, which is devoted entirely to Amer
lean fiction, is remarkably attractive
and popular enterprise. Every reader in
terested in high-class fiction should send
to the publisher for a free specimen copy.
The first completed story is Robert Tim
soils, A Pessimist, an uncommonly bright
readable story, making about 200 pages,
which is sold in paper for fifteen cents, or
in cloth thirty-six cents, postpaid. It
would not be easy to name a novel in
which the conversation has SO much wit,
humor and clever badinage, sustained
throughout with such unfagging vivaci-
ty. There is not single dull page in the
book. Moreover it has-what was so
much desiderated by Charles Darwin
a good ending. The hero is thoroughly
cured of his pessimism. John B. Alden,

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDERS
From the Scientific American.

Among the recent discover les in science
and chemistry, none is more important
than the uses to which mmonammonia
can be properly put as leavening agent
and which indicate that this familiar
salt is hereafter to perform an active part
in the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place
small portion of it upon knife and hold
over flame, and it will almost imme-
diately be entirely developed into gas,
and pass off into the air.
Thega thus formed is a simple compo-
sition of nitrogen and hydrogen. No res
idue 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 it's use as a supplement
to these articles. A small quantity of
ammonia in the dough is effective in pro-
ducing 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 baking, the
leavening gas that raises the dough is
liberated. In this act it uses itself up,
as it were; the ammonia is entirely diff
fused, leaving no trace or residuum what
ever. The light, 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 use
full discovery, and the handsomest and
best bread and cake are now largely ris-
en- by the aid of ammonia combined, of
course with other leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known pro-
ducts of the laboratory. If, as seems to
be justly claimed for it, the application 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.
