To increase the solubility of the powdered cocoa, various expedients are employed, most of them being based upon the action of some alkali, potash, soda or even ammonia. Cocoa which has been prepared by one of these chemical processes, can usually be recognized at once by the distinct alkaline reaction of the infusion in water. W. Baker & Co.'s Breakfast Cocoa is manufactured from the first stage to the last by perfect mechanical processes, no chemical being used in its preparation. By one of the most ingenious of these mechanical processes the greatest degree of fineness is secured without the sacrifice of the attractive and beautiful red color which is characteristic of an absolutely pure and natural cocoa.

"The philosophy of Delsarte is founded on this one law: 'Bring the outward manifestation of the impression you wish to create daily and hourly into the consciousness, and it will soon become second nature, and will take the place of the unattractive and consequently undesirable appearance.' Few books of this nature have ever been written which are so practically useful and so clear in suggestion as this study of Delsarte. It is published in the beautiful manner of the Lee and Shepard House."-Boston Traveller. By a Smithsonian Institute Man. INCIDENTS OF A COLLECTOR'S RAMBLES IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, NEW GUINEA. By SHERMAN F. DENTON, Artist to the United Fish Commission, with over 50 illustrations. Cloth, $2.50. "Into one year of travel is often crowded more of experience and adventure than is contained in ten years of ordinary life," says the author in his opening chapter. He has evidently experienced both the delights and dangers of far country wanderings, Kangaroo hunting, securing rare specimens of birds, jumping fishes, migratory crabs, and curious beetles; adventures with Australian Natives in "throwing the boomerang," humorous scenes and exciting escapes from the Maoris of New Zealand, and a wealth of adventure in far-off Guinea, fill his book with ever changing scenes, fresh knowledge, and entertaining adventures.

XII.JULY, 1889.- No. LXVII. THE CREED QUESTION IN SCOTLAND. A MOVEMENT for revision of creed is at present culminating in Scotland. It has been my fortune to watch it somewhat critically for nearly the quarter of a century. It was the first stirring of the question which led me in 1867 to publish a volume on the "Law of Creeds" in Scotland. The treatment of the subject, there was no doubt purely legal and external, dealing not so much with changes in theology as with changes in the documents of creed. Not the less it enabled and perhaps compelled me to follow every step in the subsequent process of development by our churchmen and theologians which has now resulted, even in the most conservative of our large Presbyterian churches, in the proposal to reconsider the creed and its document, and the connection with both of the church in Scotland. Of that process it is time to give some account. In that year 1867 the chief churches of Presbyterian Scotland were all bound to the unrevised confession of Westminster. It had its origin in the "solemn league and covenant" of the two nations who banded together to be free under Charles I.; and for its sake Scotland, long before the Revolution of 1688, was willing to forget its original national confession that laid by John Knox on the table of the Parliament of 1560. Knox's confession lasted a century, and was laid aside by the Puritans. The Puritan confession had now lasted two centuries, and every Presbyterian minister and elder was bound to it by subscription. The United Presbyterian Church indeed, which since the later or |
