While n reporter was talking with nm
uptown druggist the other evening little
fellow, clad in blue suit, entered and
bought a postage stamp. After getting
the stamp he said:
"Say, mister, what do you put In them
big jars In the Window
! "Colored water,'' replied the druggist,
smiling, and when the little fellow had
gone he nddedi every now and then
some little child asks us about those
globes"
'wcll, am curious myself. What is
the full recipcin said the reporter.
"Those used by the better class Of drug
gists," replied the druggist, 'are, in re-
ality, composed Of mixtures Of chemicals.
Some use bottles OF colored glass filled
with water, but these do not reflect the
light from the gas jets rs the chemicals
do. For red, the most common OF all, we
mix iodine and iodide Of potassium with
water. Some add alcohol 10 prevent
freezing. Buc is formed by mixture OF
sulphatc Of copper, commonly called blue
yitriol, and water Of ammonia. Plain bl-
chromate Of potash In water forms the
yellow coloring and green Is made by
mixture Of the blue and yellow, or else
from nickel dissolved in nitric acid. A
pretty crimson color may DC mndc
by combining alkanet root md oil
OF turpentine, and lilac Is the re
suit of mixture of crude oxide OF cobalt
and nitric acid. Royal purple, one OF the
prettiest Of the window colors, IL made by
dissolving logwood or cochineal in am
monia or sulphate OF indigo. Pink Is
nitrate Of cobalt and sesquicarbonate OF
ammonia, and amber is formed Of one
part Of dragons blood and four OF oil OF
yitriol, filtered and mixed with water.
OF course, all sorts Of combinations Of
these colors may be made, and other
shades PRODUCED but those which j have
named are the principal ones in use. The
first thing druggist does on starting in
business is TO buy the chemicals needed
for his bottles. They are an important
item IN the equipment Of his store. -

sltion OF boatkeeper The boatkeeper
f. the captain of the boat None Of
the pilots have anything to do with
their boat unless in case of necessity.
The boatkeeper must serve three years
before he can be admitted TO he examined
for license. II by accident or misfort-
une he loses his position he must begin all
over again, His eXamintion isayery rigid
one lie must have thorough knowl-
edge of the coast tides, etc, for hundreds
of miles around New York harbor. But
even after he has successfully passed his
examination he has not arrived at the
summit of his ambition. The first year
of pilotage he is granted license to pilot
vessels drawing under sixteen feet, the
next year vessels drawing eighteen feet or
under, and in the third year he is obliged
to pass further examination, after which
he is entitled 20 pilot vessels Of any
draught, and is then called branch or
full pilot.
The pilotage differs according TO the
draught OF vessels, vessels Of small draught
paying much less than vessels of large
draught. Consequently II often happens
that there is much maneuvering between
captain and pilot. The captain, who wants
his pilotage to be as small rs possible, will
try to make the draught OF his vessel appear
small while the pilot on the other hand,
will endeavor TO find out the true draught
without appearing 10 doubt the captains
word. 1t would not do, Of course, TO give
the captain the lie when the actual truth
OF the matter Is in doubt, IL happens,
therefore, that the pilot, In addition to his
other admirable qualities, must have the
art OF diplomacy. lie must be q keen
Judge of human nature, and it is remark
nh hax cnnznecfsl of ha, L.,
thwarting the designs Of the captain. 1t
must not be inferred, however, that sea
captains are as a class dishonest. AS q
matter of fact there is not a more honest
set of men engaged in any profession than
sea captains, but there are, Of course, eX-
ceptions to every rule.
The length of O pilot boats cruise de-
pends entirely on how quick her crew Of
pilots succeed in picking up vessels, or,
rather, how quick they succeed in having
vessels pick them up. Seven pilots 20
out In each boat, aud 81 is remarkable
how sharp the competition is among the
boats. The moment a pilot boat gets out
into the harbor ceaseless vigilance is the
order Of the day and night. A lookout Is
placed at the mast head, and the moment
an inward bound vessel is sighted all sal
Is made. When two or three boats sight
the same vessel at the same time an eX
citing race takes place. 1t will easily be
seen from this that the life Of pilot alter,
mates excitement and monotony. In idle
moments they pass their time away IL
playing cards, reading and spinning yarns.
But the moment a sail is sighted every,
thing is dropped. The man whose turn il
IS TO be taken OIL the boat gets out his
yalise, shayes, puts on n boiled shirt and
prepares 10 go back 10 town. Ii Otter
happens that the vessel sighted has 1
pilot on board already, or that another
Ep0s beat geIs 10 ths vessel first. 80 that

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
What Baking Powder Shall We Use.

This plain question comes home to every house
keeper. We all desire pure and wholesome food,
and this cannot he lad with the Use of impure or
poisonous baking powder. There can be no
longer a question that all the cheaper, lower
grades Of baking powders contain either alum,
lime or phosphate acid. As loath as we may he
to admit so much against what may have been
some of our household gods, there can he no
gainsaying the unanimous testimony Of the Off
Cal chemists. Indeed, analysists seem to find
no baking powder entirely free from some one
Of these Objectionable ingredients except the
Royal, and that they report as chemically pure.
We find some Of the baking powders advertised
pure, 10 contain, under the tests, Of Professors
Chandler, Ilabirshaw and others, nearly twelve
per cent. Of lime, while others are made from
alum with no cream of tartar This, we presume
accounts for their lack Of lcavening powder as
sometimes complained Of by the cook, and of the
bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently
complained of 10y ourselves
But aside from the infcriOrIty of the work done
by these powders, the physicians assure us that
lime and alum taken into the system In such
quantities as this are injurious. Their physiO-
logical effects are indigestion, dyspepsia, or
worse evils
The question naturally arises, why do these
cheap baking powder makers Use these things?
Alum Is three cents a pound, lime still cheaper,
while cream Of tartar costs thirty-fye or forty.
The reasons for the chemical purity Of the Royal
Baking Powder were recently given In the New
YORK Tunes 10 an Interesting description OF Il
new method for refining urSulS, or crude cream
or tartar. II seems that it Is only under this

ing an institute well worthy the con-
slant attendance of every teacher in
Audubon county. The work will be
exclusively didactic in its character

Mr.. r. SOVEREIGN of Atlantic pass
ed through audubon Tuesday. en- route
to MarshalltoWn, where he goes to at
tend the state union labor convention.
Mr.. Sovereign goes in the interest Of
the democratic party, in that he is III
favor Of abandoning the union labor
cause and going with the party that 10
by its past history and present policy
the worst enemy the laboring man has
to contend with. Only a short time
ago Mr. Sovereign could not find words
10 express lis contempt fof the demOc-
racy, and he warned his cO-laburcrs to
beware of its corruption, but today he
would sacrifice al the union labor
party has attained and all that it hopes
for in the interests of those he so re-
Gently coHdomned. Since Mr. SOver-
eign so pronounced the Democracy has
not risen from its condition, hence wa
conclude that Sovereign has fallen. 1t
will lie remembered that he wanted to
fall two years ago, but Col. Keatlcy
would not warrant the proper induce
ment.
