MEDICINE IN BREAD.


The acids most generally en-
ployed in baking powders for the
purpose of liberatng the gas are the
sulphuric (alum) and tartaric CREAM
tartar) which are Objectionable for
the reason that their salts possess
medicinal properties and produce
upon the human system effects which
may not he needed at the time, or at
least as often rs food is taken; for no
one would like to take dose of med
icine every time he eats bread. 1t
was happy thought of Prof. Hors-
ford that suggested the employment
of an acid, tphosphoric) which. while
it sets free the carbouic gas. also re-
stores to the flour much of its nutri-
ent Ingredients which were lost in
its manufacture. This, together
with the fact that it communicates
no unpleasant taste. and at the same
time effectually SET u res the purpose of
all baking powders, should commend
his preparation to all desiring paIa-
table and wholesome bread.

CHAPTER TT

The world was ablaZe with light next
day and 7 went singing about the gar
den before breakfast in such a wild
fashion that Aunt Phenlie was fright
ened and said / was FEY" Perhaps
1 was; indeed, 1 could hardly sit still
as Dad in his usually leisurely way
read us out items OF news from the
papers and the large correspondence
which le kept up with far away
friends. I was teasing the setter pup
Ply by putting butter on its nose, des-
ptte Fhemie's warning whisper about
the carpets, when he remarked sud
denly that he had a letter somewhere
from Hugh Dalrynpple. II l was rest
less before, I was a Thousand times
mora go whilst ne searched unsvail-
ingly through the bundle OF papers
before him Then he felt in all mis-
pockets, clapped them nedftatively
and finally remarked that he must
have left it somewhere. It's of no
consequence, however" he added,
cheerfully TITS only a line to say he
had been called away on business,
and didn't know when me might be
back. He sent message to you ladies
thanks and membranes. Well,
well, we shall miss him, sflan't we,
Birdie"
WAS uetpiy SidCSlui l'ie9N III my
first wild pain / pinched the puppy
with which / was playing so iard
that it thowled and SO created q, di-
version. When that was ever my
pride had come to the rescue.
''Mr Dalrymple told me that some
important deed was missing, proba-
bly, it is something connected with
it which has called him away" I said
calmly. HE will be back ere long
Yet when prayers were over,
and I went once more into
the large old-fashioned garden,
it seemed to me as if all the
sunshine had died away from the bun
ches of sweet narcissus, and the falling
shower of petals from the apple trees,
as they stirred in the fresh spring
breeze seemed to bring doleful warn
ing that the fairest blossom may bear
no fruit. Then wandered back to the
study searching for the lost letter with
a feeling that / might believe what had
happened If I could once see the words
of careless farewell
But not for long years after did I
come across it, placed as a mark in a
pamphlet on political Economy
which dear, absent dad must have been
reading at the time; and then, tears at
