One Way To Test
Baking Powder

Dissolve teaspoonful OF pure cream
of tartar baking powder in half a glass
of eold water and the carbonic acid gas
which forms. having nothing to retain
it, passes off in bubbles like the foam
OF lively champagne.
Mix tablespoonful OF the same pow
der with the same quantity of flour,
pour into half a glassful of cold water
and stir up quickly. The carbonic acid
gas liberated then is prevented from
rapid escape by the -four, and the mix
ture rises. foamlng and creamy, like
yeast. over the top of the glass. This
effect has been produced by adulterdt-
Ing the baking powder. making il half
flour. and may be rendered still more
marked by the addition OF little
albumen. The great show of creamy
foam in baking powder Is proof not
only OF adulteration but inferior
strength

worst of all, a pitcher of milk which
was hit by the falling pans.
Victoria, pans and the milk were In
a heap on the floor when the cook came
in to see what had happened.
Victoria Jumped up and ran behind
the stove, where she licked as fast as
she could the milk from her gray iur
coat
But the humiliating part was that
cook, thinking Victoria vas after the
milk. boxed her ears as she ran past
her.
When Miss Mary and Miss Ellen came
into. the kitchen a few minutes later,
Victoria ran to them and me-oW-ed
loudly, as COOK told tnem NlCtorla WAS
after the milk.
The mouse was soon after discovered.
and cook tried in many ways to make
friends with Victoria. but II was of no
Use; her dignity had been injured and
she would have nothing to DO with her.
She even refused her food which COOK
put In the corner. and Miss Mary, or
Miss Ellen had to prepare her focd OF
Victoria would not eat.
Victoria was never known TO catch n
mouse after that. whether another ever
venturcd in the home of Miss Mary and
Miss Ellen or whether Victoria never
forgot the pans and the milk. and cook g
unjust treatment will never be known
but Victoria never lost her dignity again
which she bore so we'll as a pussy could.
