Tlie way people are questioning their
grocers about the adulteration of baking
powders haB stirred up that part of the
mercantile community to taking more
care in their selection of manufactured
articles. The consumers are rapidly
awakening to the fact that, nearly all the
cheap brands and prize goods, as well as
some high priced brands advertised as
"Absolutely Pure," contain either Alum
or Ammonia, and some of them both of
these adulterants.
A simple test of the purity of bak'ng
powder, is to mix in a tin rup two heap
ing teasnoonfiils of the Powder with
three teaspoonfuls of cold water, place it
over the fire, stirring constantly, allow it
to boil thoroughly, or, until the gas es
capes freely ; then fmcll ; if adulterated
the odor of Ammonia will be plainly pre
ceded. The presence- of Ammonia in
most cases indicate that alum is used, as
nearly all the alum of commerce contains
Ammonia. Pure Baking Powder will
not give tl.o faintest Ammoniacal odor.
Baking powder comprised principally of
Starch, Alum and terra alba, boil into a
thick dirty paste. New York World.
WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS.
Curious Customs Which Hiivo Uccn In
Vnirito Many Years.
As long as there are fair women and
brave men there will continue to bo
weddings, and as weddings are tho fash
ion there will still bo plenty of persons
on hand to suggest to a young brido just
what sho should do to avoid bad luck,
and also what sho should not do for tho
same reason.
People who aro ordinarily sensible
about most things let all their supersti
tious notions creep into theii deas re
garding the preparations for a redding,
and these whims aro inado tho subject
of discussion at as early a stago in tho
proceedings as when tho young lady is
considering what sho prefers for an en
gagement ring.
Sho is told to avoid opals, as no ono
ever was known to havo any happiness
who owned ono of them. In spito of
this, however, dealers say that there is
always a demand for rings set with this
beautiful stone. Pearls, the supersti
tious say, are oven worse, but eventually
tho little circlet is purchased and tho
time for the wedding discussed. Then
more complications arise as certain days
are unfavorable and some months are to
bo shunned. May is said to ho an
especially unlucky month, why no ono
can tell, but many a rhymo could bo
quoted to show that this notion has pre
vailed for centuries. August is also
looked upon as a disastrous time in
which to wed, and thoso who marry in
Lent will "livo to repent," according to
very old authority.
Vint'r seems to bo tho favorite season
forweddin;: hells to chime,in our country
at least. 1 n Scotland tho last day of tho
year is regarded with great favor, and
should December 31 fall on Friday so
much tho better, as that ij tho favorito
day of the week for a wedding. Sunday
weddings aro common in England, and
in the early history of our country many
couples wero made ono on that day, but
recently such a thing is seldom heard
of.
In Xorway and Sweden Thursday
marriages aro forbidden by tho Church,
it being called pagans' day.
After much consideration tho day is
decided upon, and bravo indeed is the
girl who will consont to chango it, for
that is suro to bring ill-luck which all
tho rico and old shoes of tho country
could not drivo away.
Tho time arrives an tvith it much ad
vico in regard to tb color which sho
shall wear and the manner of arraying
herself. Probably no girl in her teens
is ignorant of tho rhymo which urges
young brides to bo careful to wear
"something old and something now,
something borrowed and something
blue," in order that sho may livo "happy
over after," as tho storybook says.
Misfortune is suro to follow tho brido
who lias a speck of green in her costume.
Sho must never array herself in all her
pretty robes until dressing for 'tho cere
mony. Sho must never read tho mar
riago sorvico quite through and sho
must not stand before tho mirror ono
second after she is ready, no matter how
pleasing tho reflection of tho nappy faco
and graceful gown. Journal of Ameri

Charles XII of Sweden.
Gen. Joseph Hartlett, ex-minister to Swo
iou, makes a soinuwhat peculiar but interest
ing contribution to history. "Whether
Charles XII of Sweden met death at tho
bauds of tho enemy or cf his own men has
ahvuys been a bubjoct of ardent discussion by
military men and students of Swedish his
tory," said tho general a fow days ugo to a
group of olllcers of tho army. "When I was
minister to Sweden," ho continued, "tho sub
ject came, up between tho king of Sweden and
lomo high military ollicials and was warmly
discussed in my presetieo. The king was
much interested in the debate, and, in order
to satisfy himself, ordered tho tomb to bo
opened and tho bkull vxumhicd. I was pres
ent at tho exumiiiution, which took pluco at
midnight in tho old church where tho remains
repose near those of Oustavus Adolphus.
Tho bullet which ended tho lifo of Charles
XII passed through tho skull In a direct line.
On examiniug tho hkull I wns struck by tho
fact that tho hole in tho forehead was larger
than tho one ut tho bubo. I noticed further
that tho bono of tho hkull where the ball
passed in front was splintered and forced out

wuh forced inward. This was conclusive to
my mind that tho shot that hud killed Charles
came from behind, which was reasonably con
clusive that it was II red by one of his own
men, but whether with malicious intent or
not no onu can Buy. The king hud very littlo
to say on tho subject ut tho time, but it was
agreed that no other verdict than tho ono
mentioned was correct, and I am hatlsflcd
