The Parrots Orders.

The boys Of the Babcock Engine Com
pany rejoice in the possession of q pair
of very handsome parrots. One of these
is new arrival from Central America,
and is only eight months old. Being
ignorant of the language and usageS
of polite society, Captain Purcell en-
gagged q tutor for him in the person of
'Dick," a sedate member Of the feath-
cred fraternity who rules the destinies
of the Vine Street Opera House green
room. The latter, although thirty-two
years of age, is a sad wag and quite
well versed in English. He talks in
cessantly, and should he be separated
from his younger companion will yell
Polly" at the top of his by no means
tuneful voice until the straggler re-
turns. He has caught onto the fire
phraseology, and when the horses run
out he will scream 'Whoa," ''back
up, ?" ''Whoa, ;" ''all right, 'sgo ahead"
and such other illusions as he thinks
pertinent to the case. The other even
ing an alarm sounded from box q, but
the driver caught it wrong, and Pur-
cell told him to wait q moment until
he had consulted the register. He had
scarcely reached the table when n voice
shouted, '.All right, go ahead. = The
driver, without looking around, gave
the word, and the grays few out onto
Vine street, followed by the frantic
Captain, who narrowly escaped being
left. The parrot all the time sat on
the cage, seeming to thoroughly enjoy
the commotion he had aroused. Cs75-

The Tremendous Task of De Lesseps.

Whatever they may say, all that they
are doing at Panama looks to the con-
struction Of q canal that must have 124
feet of lockage, and will then cost
$500, 900, 900, in addition to the $780,
900, 600 called in on stock or obtained
on bonds. About 500, 900, 900 has gone
to the founders and sub-founders; about
as much more for the purchase of the
Panama railroad, and 10 per cent. in
advertising and extra fees to bankers;
and as much more to contractors as q
bonus. | heard it from an engineer
conversant with the work, that every
cubic meter of hard ground excavated
costs 81. SO, which is five times what it
should cost even there. But the diff
Guilty, even for lock canal is to get
rid of the excaYated material. An enor-
nous amount of excavation will be re-
quired to get proper slopes in the Cele-
bra cut. This is almost wholly in
earth, and the summit level of the rail
road is a mere ''hog'S back'-that is
to say, it has very steep grades on both
sides. The cut was made only twenty
five feet deep, because of the tendency
Of the earth to slide. In fact y train
was caught in this gap by slide, and
it required days to dig it out The
earth had to be carried off in buckets
and it was like putty. If the canal has
4 lockage of 125 feet then the deep cut
will be at least POO feet. So YOU see
what q cut in width it must be, and
what the land slides will be in after

Prof. f. A. Robinson, was born in Sydney,
Maine, Dec. %, 1927. He was the son of Rev,
Ezekiel Robinson, who for half century was
| leading clergyman in the M. e. Church in
Maine. Young Robinson from his boyhood had
| studious, enquiring mind, and after fitting
for college, entered the Wesleyan University,
| at Middleton, Conn, where he graduated with
| high honors in 1S49.
In 1850 he was elected professor In the
Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female Col
| lege at Kent's Hill, which position he held
twenty successive years excepting one year
| spent as pastor of the M. E. church at Wilton
and Skowhegan, maintaining during all this
time high rank in his profession and popu-
larity second to none, among the many able
teachers who have held positions in that insti-
tuition of learning. In 1871 he was elected q
professor in the Pennsylvania State Agricul-
tural College, which place he held three years,
when he resigned on account of i'll health
After recuperasing awhile, he accepted the
position of principal of a young ladies' semina-
ry--a school of high grade at Goshen, N. Y,
where he remained with marked success for
| two years, when he again broke down in health
and was obliged to resign. For several months
after, it was greatly feared by his friends that
his sickness would prove fatal, but he again
rallied and found himself able to engage in his
old profession.
In 1879 he was again elected to Professor
ship in the seminary and college at Kents
Hill, where he taught until the close of the
Spring term, 1888, when again feeling symp-
toms OF his old disease, he again retired from
the school.
For many years he was member of the
board OF trustees and long time secretary of
the board. He was member OF the Maine
House of Representatives from the town of
Readfeld in the Legislature of 1881, and was
| chairman of the committee on education. He

Curious Facts About Baking Powder


There are practically but three general classes
OF the very useful compounds known Of
Baking Powder.
First, those composed of commercial cream
OF taitar, soda, and starch or flour. Cream OF
tartar is derived from peculiar matter that is
deposited in the casks during the fermenta.
tion of sour wines. 1t consists of potassa united
with tartaric acid. The cream of tartar OF
commerce is not usually pure, as il
generally contains from three to
thirteen per cent. of tartrate of lime. be.
sides uncertain quantities of sand, clay, -four
chalk, etc. In large doses it acts as a eathar.
tic.
Second, those composed of alum, soda and
starch or flour. Alum is occasionally manu-
featured from the earths which contain il
ready formed, but most generally from
minerals called "alam ores.' In small doses
it is astringent, in large doses purgative.
Third, those imposed of the acid phosphate
OF lime, soda and starch. Phosphate OF lime is
constituent of all grains and is an important
nutritiye principle and an indispensable ele-
ment IN the construction of the animal Ii ssues,
Fine white -four is much inferior to the
Graham or whole wheat -four, because in the
process of boiling, the phosphates are dis
cardsd with the bran. The phosphates are
necessary to sustain life, and fine, white -four
alone, will not sustain life, because the phos-
pilates are not present in sufficient quantity.
This has been demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent upon rabbits, dogs, etc, and it was
TINS TACT and the several undesirable qualities
OF cream tartar for raising bread that induced
Prof. Horsford to seek for @ method of pro.
ducing an acid phosphate of lime suitable for
use in the composition of baking powders. He
accomplished his purpose, and has succeeded
far beyond his own or his friends expectations,
as the Bread Preparation "a baking POWDER
that bears his name, fully testifes Baking
Powder made by this process is the only one
that adds anything to the nntritive qualities
of the acur. Many baking powders contain
very injurious ingredients.
