S. H. Hurst, has made public (Circular No. 6) the result of the commission's investigation of baking powder. This commission was formed by the legislature, with instructions to make an examination of the food, supply of the state, and to give a report of such examination to the public.

The examination of the baking powders was made by Professor H. A. Weber, state chemist, and, relating as it does to an article of daily use in the food of almost every one, is of particular interest. The rather startling fact is brought out turns came in from the country. The following table gives the vote as far as obtain able up to the hour of going to press: EDUCATIONAL.

The commissioner explains that the best baking powder is that which, the ingredients being healthful, gives off the largest amount of leavening tas and leaves the smallest amount of resi-dum in the bread. A small amount of carbonate of ammonia, which is considered healthful, is in some of the cream of tartar powders to give them a higher strength. The commission say that pure alum undoubtedly a hurtful salt, and that the resultant salts from its combination with soda as formed in the bread, can scarcely be less hurtful. The report ranks the powders and shows the amount in each of inert resultants, which in using it would appear as residum in the bread, as follows: CBEAM OF TA.BTA.B POWDERS. Per Cent, inert, Name.

It becomes, indeed, a familiar and useful additior to your conversational stock of the vernacular.

Nay, you even find the field of its usefulness enlarging, for the terms of the "round-up" and the "branding" and sheep-shearing are more or less piquant, and lend themselves easily to remote from their primitive usage. Transposed to the ordinary business or social concerns of modern life they reveal new sources of humor; they place old saws and old customs in a sharp light, a fresh illumination but always by that undercurrent of suggestion, contrast, or association with original pursuits, which the words described. So I heard, last year, a politician speak of a bolter of the Rejiublicun ticket as a "bucker." A "bucking horse" is one that "jumps side wise or forward, up and down, wih his legs stiffened into an unrelaxed perpendicular," and th image certainly has a kind of affinity with the moral action of a refractory voter.

Mr. Bradford takes the ground that the warrants cannot be legally paid.

The law in regard to the appointment and payment of the architect is not plain. The law provides for the appointment of an architect at a salary of $1,500 a year, but further says he shall receive pay only for the actual time devoted to said duties. No provision is made for mileage by the law. The architect has not devoted his whole time to the construction of the building, and consequently can not be paid in full. Mr.

The marble bust of ex-Governor Frederick P. Stanton, sometime ago promised, has been received, and was yesterday set up in the rooms of the state historical society. As all who are familiar with the early history of Kansas know, Mr. Stanton, as secretary of the teritory, and acting governor during an important period, performed a very conspicuous and important part in the affairs of Kansas. As secretary of the territory he co-operated with Governor Robert J.

Walker in sifting down the Oxford, Kickapoo and other fraudulent election returns in 1857. They gave certificates of election to a majority of free-state men, who were found to have been fairly elected members of the territorial legislature. This act took official power from the Missouri usurpation of 1855, and transformed it to representatives elected by the people of the territory. Afterwards, in the absence of Governor Walker from the territory, Mr. Stanton, as acting governor, convened the legislature in extra session, thus enabling investigations to be made which fully exposed the fraudulent character of the elections nnder the Lecomp-ton constitution, and thwarted the schemes of the conspirators, who through that instrument sought to fasten slavery upon the state of Kansas.

Royal being purer than Price's by a corresponding figure. The carbonic or leavening gas produced by the powders indicates their strength; and their true value may be ascertained by considering the amount of this gas in connection with their inert matter or residuum as ehown above. The higher the percentage of gas and the lower the percentage of residuum the better the baking powder. These percentages, as found in some of the most familiar powders are given as follows: Per Cent, of Per Cent of Name Leavening Gas. Rebidum.
