U~nfsrmented uread.

The question has often been brought
forward as to the wholesomeness of
bread made by the old-fashioned method
of raising with yeast, which, as is well
known, causes a fermentation. and
which is actually a rotting of parts of
the flour, and is thought by physicians
TO be directly responsible for much of
the dyspepsia OF the present day.
1t is claimed by those who have tried
1t that the Royal Baking Powder will
make bread of superior lightness, firm
ness, and general excellence without
the use of yeast This process entirely
does away with the Preventative action,
and it is averred that no bread can pos.
sibly be SO hcalthful or palatable as
that made in this way. 1t is stated in
the receipt that the bread made by this
process may be eaten warm and fresh
without discomfort
This is unquestiouably a progressive
age, and if our scientists can give us
hot bread palatable and wholesome,
verify we have much TO be thankful for.

young babies left freely to themselves

while their mothers are shopping or
their nurses gossiping would be in
clined to give an affirmative answer to
this question. In a certain large shop
in New York there is an antechamber
used by mothers to station the car
riages of their little ones while they
transact their business inside. The
writer has counted over dozen of these
equipages drawn up side by side, so
that the tiny occupants had every OPP
portunity to exchange civilities. A boy

cising oversight.

of indescribable sounds. They are re-
markably good and deeply interested in
one another and apparently derive the
greatest satisfaction from this social
converse. Cats talk by inhexions. 1t is
claimed by some philosophers that the
human infant likewise employs this nat
ural language. If so, words are not
necessary to ideas, and babies can make
themselves understood by their kind.

is of use to them, with what contempt
must they regard the efforts of grown
people to make "baby talk"-Childhood.

he had not cared to notice at all in

He was severely wounded at Fero-

September, 1848, cannon shot all

On the 18th of January following
he was severely wounded in the
trenches, but he was able to march
several hundred miles across the
country and fight at GuJrat one
month later to day.
He was shot in the leg at the first
relief of Lucknow, but nevertheless
rode out next day and brought in the
