Reminder OF Yourself When You Were

Donr Llttlo Dumping.
Whom you havo really become man
and have long ago put away childish
things" it gives you a queer, indofina-
BILE sort of a feeling to open tho family
album of some good old auntie. or per-
haps OF ones grandmother. and to have
pointed out to you photograph Of your
self when you were still in long clothes
or in your first short dresses.
Somehow, men never tako much pride
in such mementos of the long ago past.
They don't care to be reminded OF tho
fact that they looked Just exactly like
that when the picture was taken. and
it is no pleasure to DO told that they
were 'real cunning little things" at
that time.
When a man gots to DO a big fellow of
six feot two, and IS in tho full strength
and dignity of his manhood, it rather
bores him to have to sit and hear &C.

when he was "a sweet little thing" of
or years. Ho doesn't care much about
the mouse-colored bit of hair cut from
his head at that timo, and sometimes he
actually bushes ut sight OF tho first
dear little shirty" or the first shapeless
little pair Of socks he over wore.
He wonders if he ever did look like
the puify-faced, open-mouthed photo
graph Of himself. lie wouldn't believe
that it was his photograph, but thcre on
tho back Of the card is written in ink

the William Henry referred to- Your
heart softons a little at sight of tho
writing, for the hand that wrote it writes
no more. 1t was the hand that stood
between you and all earthly harm for
so many years, the hand that toiled for
you, the hand that so often clasped your
own in tenderness, or was laid lightly
and soothingly on your fevored brow in
the days of your boyhood-your mothers
hand. You do not resent the fact that
you were once little, helpless, pulling
creature like that when you think OF
her. You do not yet look at tho photo
graph with any marked pride or admira-
ton; you arc rather glad that you have
no recollection Of those infantile DAYS,
but 1T is pleasant to remember that
when you were "a littlo wee thing"
your very weakness and helplessnoss
was source OF Joy and comfort to your
mother. She loved to care for you. But
still you have that queer, indefnablo
feeling when you find in the old family
albums that faded little picture of your
self when you were lust little bit OF
thing. '-Detroit Free Press.

Science in Bread Making.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, held in
Washington, d. c., the question Of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as a leaven-
ing agent in bread, or as used in baking
powders came up for discussion, In which
Prof Barker, OF the University of Penn
sylvania, and President Of the Society,";
DR.. Richardson, late of the United States
Department Of Agriculture in Washing
ton; DR.. VIM. McMurtrie, late Prof. Of
Chemistry in the University Of Illinois,
DR.. Z. H. BARLEY, late Chemist of the
Brooklyn, N. Y, Board Of Health, and
Prof. of Chemistry of the Long Island
College, and Others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment OF
of ammonia. 1t was stated as fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the flour
more soluble than tho original gluten,
and that the bread In which this action
was produced by carbonate Of ammonia,
must be more digestible and hence more
healthful, and because of the extreme
volatility Of carbonate Of ammonia, and
its complete expulsion from the bread in
tho process Of baking, it is one of the
most useful, most healthful and most
valuable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. j. w. Mallet Of the Uni
versity Of Virginia, which shows conclu-
sively that bread made with a baking
powder in which one per cent. Of carbo-
nate Of ammonia is used, in connection
with cream Of tartar and soda Is not only
of uniformly better color and texture, but
a product more wholesome, because the
ammonia serves to neutralize any organ
ic or Tactic acids present In the flour.

A Job for the Game Warden,

Ashel Anterior is authority for the
statement that the Gilman party hunting
at Turtle lake are slaughtering deerat the
rate Of 25 to 30 every day. Not content
with this ruthless slaughter of the finest
game in Michigan, they have several
packs of hounds which they use to excel
lent advantage In driving the deer into
the lakes, where the crack shots OF the
crowd soon finish them. AS Gilman
was instrumental in measure In securing
the passage Of the present game law, it
is hard to belive that he would tolerate
such gross violation of its principal pro-
visions, but as they are operating on AL
coma county territory 1t wouldn't be a
bad scheme for proper officials to keep
an eye on them.-Alcona Review.
