The large amount of inert matter
or residuum in both the phosphate
and alum powders will be noted.
This in the phosphate powders is
largely of lime; in the alum powders
it is chiefly alum. 1t will be graft
flying to the public to observe that
the powder in most general use, the
Royal, is also the purest. In com
pairing the first two powders on the
list, Tor instance-the Royal and
DR.. Price's-the inert matter in
Prices is seen to be about five in
seven more than in the former, a
difference of Il 81 per cent, the
Royal being purer than Prices by d
corresponding figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas
produced by the powders indicates
their strength; and their true value
may be ascertained by considering
the amount ofthis gas in connection
with their inert matter of residnum
as shown above. The higher the
percentage ofgas and the lower the
percentage ofiresiduum the better
the baking powder. These per-

and immigrated to America in the
year 1854. living nearly all the

wns very extensively known. She
leaves a family of nine children, and
also several sisters to mourn for her,
but they mourn not as those. with
out hope. She had been a consis-
tent member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church for many years, and it
can be truly said of her, aShe hath
done what she could" The funeral
services was conducted by the writer
in tie United Brethren church, at
West Columbia, at which place she
had lived for several years. A large
number of relatives and friends fol-
lowed her to the final resting place
by the side of her husband, who had
preceded her but few months.
The sorrowing relatives have the
sympathy and prayers of many
friends in this hour of bereavement.
Sister Carlin in her last. hour found
Christ to be a present help and His
grace to be allsuficient. =
