How Flavors are Produced.

The necessity of cooking food to develop
or create a palatable taste is important.
The flesh of fowl is soft enough to
masticate, but only person on the verge
Of starvation could eat it before heat has
changed it's taste, and thus made it one
of the most savory and acceptable of
meats.
Coffee also well illustrates this point.
When coffee is green, that is, unbrowned,
it is acrid in taste, very tough, even
horny in consistency, and a decoction
made from it is altogether unpleasant.
But when for certain time it is sub
iected to degree of heat it loses it's
toughness, becomes brittle, changes color,
an there is developed in it a most agree
able flavor. This flavoring properly is an
actual product of the heat which causes
chemical changes in an essential oil con-
tanned in the bean. Heat not only,
creates favors, changing the odor nd
taste as we'll as the digestibility of food S.
| Some foods are better for being cold.
| Sweet dishes as a rule are improved by
| low temperature. The flavor of butter is
| very different and very much finer when
cold than when warm; it is absolutely
| serve the flavor.
! Sugar undergoes various changes with
exposure to different degrees of heat by
| loss of some of it's water of capitalization.
| One of the most remarkable of these is
seen in caramel sauce, which is a rich
| crimson brown syrup, generally supposed
| to contain foreign coloring matter, but
| it does not.
1t is made by melting sugar without
water, and boiling it until the desired
hue and thickness is reached. Nothing is
| added, but something is taken away
| that is, some of the water of crystalliza-
ito n is driven out, and the result is the
change in both color and taste. It is by
increasing the temperature of such syrup
that caramel is obtained.
| Water boils at I different temperatures
according to the elevation above the sea
level In Baltimore water boils practical
| ly at 212 degrees at Munich, in Germany,
at 2o91a degrees; at the City of Mexico, in
Mexico, at 200 degrees, and in the
Himalayas, at an elevation of IS, 900 feet
above the level of the sea, at 1870 degrees
These differences are caused by the
varying pressure of the atmosphere at
these points. In Baltimore the whole
weight of air is to be overcome. In
| Mexico, 1000 feet above the sea, there are
1000 feet less of atmosphere to be resisted,
| consequently less heat is required and
| boiling takes place at a lower tempera-
| ture.
By enclosing vessel of water in Va
glass bell and exhausting the air by
| means of an air pump, water may be
made to boil at temperature of 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit, showing that much of
| the force that is consumed in causing
water to be converted into steam is re-
quired to overcome the pressure of the
air.
The foregoing illustrates the point that
boiling water is not of invariab1e temper
allure, consequently that foods which in
some places are cooked in it may in other
places be cooked in water that is not
boiling: in other words, that it is not
ebullition which produces the change in
foods cooked in water, but heat-Mary

In all probability the correspondent of

when he says that the Chinese govern

an inglorious campaign as that with

while it's demonstrated weakness makes
it impossible to threaten them with force.

The gold reserve is down below the
hundred million limit and is liable to
sink still lower, though within month
or less the movement of the crops will
probably change the current. The syndi-
cate has come to the aid of the treasury,
but how long it can continue the as
sistance even if it is disposed to is prob
lematical. By the strict letter of the syn
dictate contract it is already relieved from
all obligation to protect the reserve, but
there is an equitable claim upon it I'M
til the first of October, and that claim it
seems to be disposed to regard.

Mrs. John P. st. John, wife of the

experimenting the engineering and other
work OF constructing tunnel in a gold
mine at Cripple Creek, in which her hus-
band has controlling interest.
When Patti appeared on London stage
recently she wore diamond that the daily

Nicolini says that these gems are worth

more They comprise 800 stones, not one
of which weighs less than six carats.
John Mccullough, the Kansas boy who
has been admitted to West Point, ap-
parently possesses the true spirit of the
soldier. He is poor farmers son, born
in an out-of-the-way place, with no
schooling whatever, simply educated by
study at odd hours. He passed best
among a large number of other applicants
in competitive examination for entry
into the Military Academy, driving 300
miles across the prairie and camping at
night to reach the place of examination.
The Secretary of War, impressed by the
earnestness of this young man, held a
special final examination so as to admit
him while he was still twenty-one, as the
law requires. &c.
Prof. James A. Harrison, of Washing
ton and Lee University, where he has
held for several years the chair of modern
languages, has been appointed Professor
of the romance languages and literature
at the University of Virginia, the leading
educational institution at the South. He
received the appointment without seeking
it, though there were some sixty candi-
dates in the field. Professor Harrison is
well known as the author of works for
college use, and also of other books.

French government has been Indifferent
to the demands of the Cleveland admins

the knowledge of the feeling of the
American people in the matter has
created much uneasiness. The New

that ''there is an uneasy feeling in the
French government circles regarding the
Waller incident and the opinion is freely
expressed that the American ex-consul

The South Carolinians are busy discus
sing ways tc deprive the negro of suf
frage or to practically nullify it. An ed
vocational qualification would do it effect
ually in most leases, but it would alsc
disfranchise great many white men
for ignorant white men are very plenty
in that State, and SO this way is moi
looked upon with favor. One plan sug
gested is to give every man a vote, and
an additional vote for every $500 worth Of
property. This would not disfranchise
the colored man, he could vote, but al
the same time it would nullify his vote
This plan is finding considerable favor,
though probably Tillman's crowd which
is made up largely of the agricultural
classes who are generally poor will moi
take to it very kindly.

A Baptist's View.

The Danville Register, whose editor
Is q Baptist, says:
DIR. Hawthorne belongs to Q denomi-
nation which has ever believed in and
prAoticed the doctrine of personal lib
city, and he has right to preach on
any subject he pleases, any way he
pleases, being responsible only to his
God
Likewise the women Of his church
have the right to wear bloomers and
ride bicycles II they want to and no
church law or preaching by the learned
doctor can prevent them.
These being the facts, we are at o
loss to know what good DR.. Hawthorne
expects to accomplish by preaching
against boomers and bicycles. Surely
he cannot contend that there Is any ain
any violation of the deoalogue-in the
use OF either the bloomer or the bicycle,
and surely the doctor knows enough
ABOUT the laws Of his own church aud
enough about human nature to know
that he cannot enforce his views. Then
the question arises: Why does he take
up his time Sunday morning preaching
on 8 subject which does not IN the re-
hottest degree bear sny relation to the
"unsearchable riches?" We have q
lurking suspicion that 1t Is for the sole
purpose OF raising q storm of comment
and criticism" thereby giving DR.. Haw-
thorne lot of free advertising and ad-
ditional notoriety.
