''The idea that the color of the eye

G. Broun, who came over with the
Twenty-third New York regiment rife

with reporter at the Ebbitt, and the
question came up as to whether men
with light or dark eyes made the best
shots.
1T happens, he continued, "that
nearly all my men are dark eyed, and
twice this year we have won the hon

is popular notion that blue or gray

the question of color has nothing to do
with sight "-Washington Post.

An Enthusiastic Muscovite,

The first Russian visitor on board
the French men-of-war at Cronstadt
effected his appearance among them
in q somewhat peculiar manner. He
was Russian soldier, who had ON ex-
tended swim in the Baltic off Cronstadt
to where the French squadron was
approaching. When he reached the
first vessel, which was just about to
anchor, he chung to the side, shouting
with all his might the only French
word he knew, "Vive la France!" Great
were the rejoicings when the unclad
enthusiast was hauled on board. He
was treated to any number ofcognacs,
wrapped in a French naval cloak, and
preparations were made to convey
him back to quarters in the ship, when
suddenly he threw of his cloak, plunged
into the sea, and still shouting, "Vive
la Francel" returned home as he had
come.-St. Louis Republic.

DANGEROUS FELT HATS.

A Disastrous Experiment With One
Used for Straining Nitro-Glycer-
Inc. -
Everybody knows how terribly ex-
plosive nitro-glycerine is under con-
CUSTOM" said a dealer in oil we'll sup
plies from Bradford, Pa, "but few
know the lasting properties of the ex-
plosive, and how next to impossible it
is to destroy it's deadly qualities. In
manufacturing nitro-glycerine one OF
the processes is to strain it through
felt, usually through the crowns of
old felt hats, they having been found
not only the most convenient and ef-
fective for the purpose, but also pref
cradle for economy. This felt is burn
ed after using, to do away with all
danger that undoubtedly would result
from careless handling of it after
wards. s
"At one of the factories in the north
ern oil field once an employe resolved
to test thelife of nitro glycerine, and
he took a hat crown that had been
used as astrainer, washed it thorough
ly and then put it through course of
treatment with alkalis. He laid the
felt away on a shelf out of the reach
and knowledge of any one else in the
factory. 1t lay there two years, and
one day the man happened to think
of it and took it down. Workers about
nitro-glycerine are VIGOROUSLY reck-
less, but the most careful and timid
man would scarcely have had any
fear of this two-year-old strainer, es-
pecially after the treatment it had re-
ceiged. The workman had no idea
that there could possibly remain in
the felt the slightest suspicion of dan
ger, and to show that the stuff had
been annihilated he put the felt on the
iron arm on the timers bench, where
the cans for holding the explosive
are soldered, and struck it with ham
mer. The result was a surprise to
that factory. An explosion followed
that broke both arms of the workman,
stunned three other men, hurled the
heavy iron arm through q two-foot
wall, and wrecked the thinning shop.
'Nitro-glycerine can't be annihilat.
ed, and from the careless manner in
| which it has been handled ever since
it came in use in the oil regions it is a
wonder that there is q town standing
in the whole field.-From the New
York Sun. ,-- ~

Not Because She Was Handsome

There was rejoicing in the McGilway

known save when boy baby is born
or papa's named a winner. Cook for

front window sang sweet nothings I'M

Down in his Office Pa McGilway
winked his matrimonial eye. In my
lady's chamber was the busy hum of
the sewing machine and the eternal
chatter of the dressmaker with her
mouth full of pins.
In the train coming home from col
Iege was Abbie, the daughter of the
house, the pride of her father and the
Joy of her mothers heart. Dear,
clever Abbie, a baby yesterday it
seems to them, and yet to-day wom-
an grown, graduated from college and
coming home with honors heaped up
on her.
But not for long was darling Abbie
coming to make glad the hearts of her
parents and to cause the home of her
childhood to bloom like a sweet syrin-
GA bush with her presence.
In that long, cool parlor, where the
white lace curtains fluttered in the
June breeze and great punches of
June roses waited to challenge the
coming girl to the test of rival sweet
ness, there sat that day in silence ten
young men. With hats in hand, all
save one were breathing sorrowful
maledlctions against the others for
being nearer the door than they.
Since early morn they had sat there,
waiting the coming of her at whose
feet were to be laid the ten hearts and
ten fortunes here represented.
She was not so beautiful girl, this
coming queen, nor yet was Pa McGil-
way so rich q man. 1t was the fame
of Abbie's graduating essay that had
served as lure to the most eligible

A VILLAGE POO BAH.
A Reporter Seeks Information In q
Sullivan County settlement

A Reporter Seeks Information In a
Sullivan County settlement
A reporter for the Sun seeking infor-
nation of u former resident, visited
Oakland Valley, sullivan County, the
other day. While awaitingthe Month
cello train at Port Servis the reporter
inquired of n group of loungers where
he would be most likely to obtain the
required information. s
"When you get off the train" said
one man, "take the main road, and in
the first house to the right lives an old
fellow who can tell you allyo want"
'Td see the supervisor if | were
you," said another; che has held Of
flee nineteen years and knows every
body" q
COR the postmaster. In those little
villages the postmaster knows every
body's business" suggested a third.
"Take the little path down the hill
and you'll come to o sawmill. Ask
the boss" was the next suggestion,
and it was followed by this: ,s.'~s
"There's only one storekeeper in the
village; ask him." ~
The last one was: "Old Ben Case I'll
tell you all you want to know"
At the foot of the very steep hill
leading from the railroad station the
reporter met a fine-looking, well-set-
up man in top boots, rough trousers,
q wooden undershirt, and @ SLOUGH
hat, who in answer to an inquiry,
said he was Ben Case. He knew all
about the man the reporter was seek
ing, and gave the information freely.
AS there was no way of leaving the
village until the next train, five hours
later, the reporter determined to visit
the other persons to whom he had
been directed. He thanked Mr.. Case
and walked to the sawmill and asked
to see the boss. The workman direct
ed him to the general store near by.
There he met Mr.. Case again. In an
swer to an inquiry for the sawmilps
owner, or for the general storekeeper,
Mr.. Case replied: ''They're me-"
AS it was unlikely that he could give
more information as general store
keeper and mill owner than he had al
ready given, the reporter asked to be
directed to the supervisor, and again
the reply, "That's me-"
"You seem to be nearly everybody
here, Mr. Case. Where shall find the
postmaster? He may know more
than you've told me-"
"Waal, don't think so, but you
ask him if you like. Pm the post
master"
Unwilling to ask any more ques-
tions, the reporter started for the
white house to the right of the road.
There two young women, busily en-
gagged in domestic duties, said their
father had gone to the store, but
would return in a few moments.
Would the visitor wait? The report
er waited and in about an hour the
Ubiquitous Mr.. Case arrived.
"Come, girls" he said, "I'm ready
for dinner. Lay a plate for the strang,
err. He wants to see me bad"

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER.
Discussion Before the American
Chemical Society.

Discussion Before the American
Chemical Society. $685..
To the Editor of The Tribune-Sir:
have just seen the report in your
issue of Sept. 8 OF the discussion at
the Washington meeting of the
American Chemical Society, Aug. Is,
relative to the use of carbonate OF
ammonia in baking powders.
This report is incomplete and in
correct in many particulars, and as
the paper which precipitated the dis
cussion was read by me and was
based upon my own experiments, !
desire to make certain corrections in
the interest of the truth and for the
benefit of the large number OF your
readers to whom the question is one
OF great moment.
The paper as read before the society
related that ammonia in baking
powder is retained in the bread by
reason of it's affinity to the gluten.
The consensus of opinion as expressed
during the discussion was against the
use of carbonate of ammonia in
baking powder with the only exception
of DR.. McMurtrie, who is now an
employe of baking powder company
which uses carbonate of ammonia in
its baking powder.
OF the other parties mentioned as
having taken part in the discussion
were Prof. DR.. Barker of the Universe
ty of Pennsylvania, who is the Presi-
dent of the society and one of our
highest authorities. In answer to q
pleading by Prof. McMurtrie that on
ly small quantities of ammonia were
used in baking powders, he stated:
"No matter how small the quantity,
/ must decline to be dosed medically
without my consent when taking my
meals"
DIR. E. H. BARLEY, formerly chemist
of the Brooklyn Board of Health and
Professor of Chemistry at the Long
Island College, likewise named, did
not, believe, take active part in the
discussion, but is already on record
as strongly opposed to the use Of am
monium carbonate in bakingpowders.
| DR.. Richardson volunteered only
the question whether the -four used in
the experiments was of good quality,
of which I assured him by stating that
it was the best and the flour used in
my family.
Prof. Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading in so far
as it gives the impression that am
monia disappears on baking. My
actual tests agree with those made by
others, showing that ammonia re-
mains in the bread. My Investigations
simply assign new cause for it's re-
tentlOn.
H. ENDEMANN, Phi. D.
New York Tribune, Sept. IT, 1891.
Note-Dr. Endemann, the writer of
this communication, is we'll known in
scientific circles, and was for twelve
years chemist of the New York Board
of Health.
The Baking Powder company above
referred to is the Royal Baking Pow
der company of New York.
And the employee, DR.. William Nc
Murtrie, who defends that company's
use of ammonia, is their much adver-
tised Government Authority.
There is no such office known under
our government as that of Govern
ment or United States Government
