THE QUESTION OF AMERICAN FLOOR ADULTERATION. London Miller. Ill the issue of the 9th of April of Pappenheini's Mueller Zcitung of Vi enna, the following paragraph ap pears under the heading of "Flour Adulteration in England." This re port sa s: "An examination of im ported American flours made a short time ago, gave the striking result that nearly the half of them were found to be adulterated with Plaster of Paris, baryta (sulphate of barium) or ivitii potato or maize flower. As much American flour is also imported Into Germany, this exerience de serves the more attention, because sulphate of barium possesses poison ous properties. (Among others it is one of the effective poisons for rats and mice.) Plaster of Paris is "like wise possessed of properties injurious to health, while maize and potato flour are at least of less value than wheaten flour. Potato flour, when bad or diseased potatoes are used, acts injuriously. The English re ports complain that the flour adulter ated in America is frequently adul terated a second time by the Eng'ish dealers." This communication ot our Vienna contemporary would lead its readers to believe that the English people have stomachs and digestions of extraordinary power. Plaster of Paris is not usually considered a very nu'ritious article of diet, and even the Bread Reform League would hes itate to recommend it for forming bone; but we fancy it would be safer than the sulphate of barium, which our contemporary states is so effect ive for the destruction of rats and mice. We should be glad to learn where the ' English reports" referred to appeared, for no report ot such adulterations has ever come to our knowledge. THE FRUIT CROP OF THE BAST. It is of considerable interest to our fruit packers as well as growers to be able to gauge the condition of the crop throughout the Union. Re ports have been for some time con flicting and contradictory; but the latest report air iramenss crop every where. Particularly is this the case in peaches, which in good years flood The markets of the East, and rot on the ground, vainly seeking a pur chaser. The New York Commerciul Bulletin of a recent date says: "An immense fruit crop is promised in the Delaware and Maryland Peninsu la, which will compensate in part for the partial shortage, consequent upon cold weather in the early part of the season at the West. A Wi'mington dispatch says the peach yield this sea- ton, from present appearances, will be "phenomenal." I. N. Mills, Su perintendent of the Delaware Divis ion of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad, who is said to know more about the outlook than auyohe else, because he has to trans port the fruit to market, says that from the way tilings look now the crop may exceed the superabundant one of 1875, when in the height of the season there was a constant glut and thousands of baskets of peaches rotted under the trees. In that year the railroad and steamboat lines were unable to carry the peaches to mar ket, and the growers were almost as badly off as when there is only a very slight crop. This year, how ever, not so much trouble ot this kind will be experienced, as there are nu merous canning factories now in operation, which will probably be able to use up all the peaches that cannot be taken to market in their fresh state." Reports from the West also show great crops, so that it is not very reasonable to look, lor high prices in fruit this year, except in de scriptions special to California. LONDON FISH EXHIBITION. Chairman Williams, of the House Committee of Foreign Affairs, has submitted to the House a report on the joint resolution recently agreed upon by the committee proposing an appropriation of $50,000 to furnish an 'American exhibit at the London Fish Exhibition, to be held in May, 1883. The report In urging the ad vantages to be derived from a partic ipation in the exhibition, says: "One of the immediate results of the partic ipation by this Government in the exhibition a Berlin, in 1880, was the' establishment of agencies for tha sale of American fish products in nearly every country in Europe. As another result American boneless codfish has been adopted as a standard article ot food by seventeen or more of the reg iments of the Germany army, and its introduction into tht commissary de partment of the navies of Germany and Russsia is seriously contempla ted. The consumption of pickled fish in Europe is known to be immense, and yet American pickled fish, the finest in the world is scarcely known there. The export of these goods from the United States to Europe in 1869 amounted in value to $134,783, and in 1881 to $1,902,100. This can and should be increased a hundred fold." TREATMENT OF BALKY OR UNRULY HORSES. London Live Stock Journal. 1. Place yourself against his near shoulder, and with your right hand seize the foreleg just above the past ern joint, rise the foot as high as you can and force it forward. This will, in most instances, prove effectual. 2. Stand in front of the horse and draw his ears through your hands for two or three minutes, stroke his nose, and lastly take him by the head, and in an encouraging voice urge bin to go forward. 3. If in single harness, and with a two-wheeled vehicle, take your ani mal's head and turn him around four or five times, keeping tha inside wheel as near as possible in the Bame place. 4. Tire your steed out by remaing perfectly quiet until he starts offhim self. I once sat in ray cart nearly two and a half hours in this way. Now and then a horse is met with that refuses to draw at all. Put him in a cart in a shed and keep him there until he walks out. In one in stance that came to my knowledge, the obstinate one was thirty-six hours in the s' afts before he gave in. If it is intended to cure a restive horse, he must be us"d solely by one and the same person, and caught young; and let his rider or driver bear in mind that with both restive and nervous horses, the voice will prove more effectual than the whip. Slick to your nag, if possible, under all circumstances; lor, rely upon it, if he can once get away from you, he will redonble his efforts to do so again. Unfortunately there is always a risk in buying a once willful steed, for In fresh hands he may revert- to his old tricks. THE IMPENDING FATE. An Interesting Chapter from the Life of a Prominent Bostonian. Boston Globe. The readers of this paper were more or less amazed at a most re markable statement from one ot our leading citizens which appeared in yesterday'b issue. So unusual were the circumstances connected with it. and so much comment did it occas ion on the streets and in the social circled, that a representative of this paper was commissioned to investi gate its details and varify its facts. The article referred to was a state ment made by Mr. B. F. Larabee, of the New York and Boston Dispatch Express company, whose office is on Arch street. Mr. Larabee was found by the newspaper man in his private office, and on being questioned said : "Well, sir, logically I have been dead, but really I am as you can see me. A little over a year ago I was taken sick. My trouble was not se vere at first and I thought it was the result of a slight cold. Somehow I fell uncomfortably tired at times although I took an abundance of sleep. Then, again, I had dull and strange pains in various parts of my body. My appetite was good one day and I had none whatever the next and my head pained me more or less much of tho time. A while afterward I noticed much that was peculiar about the fluids I was pass ing and that a sediment, scum and a strange accumulation appeared in it. Still I did not realize that these things meant anything serious and I allowed the illness to run along until on the 28th day of October I fell prostrate while walking along Tre mont street. I was carried home and did not go out of the house until the middle of December. I then went down town and attempted to. attend to my business until the 13th of last January, when I was taken with a very severe relapse. My symp toms were terrible. I was fearfully bloated; I suffered severe pains in all parts of my body and it was almost impossible to get my breath. For six days I never laid down and never slept. I was constantly attended by my regular physician, Doctor John son, and Doctor Bowditch also came to see me nearly every day. There was no doubt that I was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidney's in its worst form and last stages, ac companied by other troubles in my liver and heart. In spite, however, of all the skill of the physicians, I kept growing worse and finally they tapped my side in the vicinity of the heart, taking away forty-six ounces of water. This relieved me for the time, but I soon became as bad as ever. Then the doctor gave me up entirely, declared I could not live more than twenty-four hours, and my daughter, who was residing ;n Paris, was telegraphed for. Still I lingered along for several weeks, far more dead than alive, but never giving up hope. Ono night it was on the 20th of Apnl, I very well remember my attendant, who was reading the paper to me, began an article which described my disease and suf fering exactly. It told how some severe cases of Bright's disease had been cured, and so elearly and sensi bly did it stale the case that I de termined to try the means ot cure which it described. So I sent my man to the drug store, procured a bottle of the medicine, unknown to my physicians and friends, and took the first dose a! 10 o'clock. At that time I was suffering intensely. I could not sleep: I had the short breaths and coufd scarcely get any air into my lungs. I was terribly bloated from head to foot, and the motion of my heart was irregular and painful. The next morning I was able to breathe freely; the pain began to leave me and the bloating de creased. I continued to lake the medicine, and to-day; sir, I am as well as I ever was in my life, and wholly owing to the wonderful, al most miraculous power of Wirner's Safe, Kidney and Liver Cure. I do not know what this medicine is made of, or anything else about it, but I know it saved my life when I was given up by the doctors and had re ally been dead for weeks; that it has kept me in perfect health ever since and has cured many ot my friends to whom I have recommended it. There are a number of very remark able cases in Linn and Salem, as well as in this city, that it has cured. My recovery is so remarkable that it has excited much attention, and physic ians as well as others have investi gated it thoroughly. I am glad they have, for I feel thai the resnlts of such a wonderful cure should be known to the thousands in all parts of the land who are suffering from troubles of the kidneys, liver or heart, in some of their many dangerous forms." The representative of the press thanked Mr. Larabee for his very frank and clear statement, and was about to have the office when a gen tleman stepped up to him and en quired if he were seeking informa tion about Mr. Larabee's sickness and recovery. The scribe replied that he was, whereupon the gentleman said : "And so am I, and I have come all the A'ay from Chicago for that very purpose. Kidney troubles seem to be alarmingly increasing all over the country, and I have a very near rela tive who is afflicted much as Mr. Larabee was. I have been to see the phy siciaus of whom Mr. Larabee speaks and I tell you, sir, it is simply wonderful." "What did tbey say?" asked the man of news. "Say! why, sir, they fully confirm ed everything Mr. Larabee has stat ed. I went to see Dr. D. A. John son, at 20 Worcester street. He was absent when I called, and so I stepped into the Commonwealth ho tel, where Mr. Larabee was living at the timo ot his sickness. Messrs. Brugh & Carter are the proprietors, and I asked them about Mr. Lara bee's case. Mr. Brugh pointed to the electrio annunciator and 6aid, 'whr for weeks and weeks every time that bell rang 1 said: That means the death of Mr. Larabee, No one around the hotel ever dreamed that he would recover and when the doctors would come down from hi room they ivonld shake their head and say there was no hope. The ar rangements for the funeral were made and his recovery was simply miracle.' I then called on Dr. Johnson who said that Mr. Larabee's case was it very remarkable one. He was his family physician and expected his death every hour tor a namber of weeks and never called to see bin during that time, but he was prepar ed for it. The doctewr said the recov ery was due to Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and if he had friends male or female, troubled with Albu men or any kidney troubles he should eestainly advise them to use thin remedy. Dr. Johnson said kidney" difficulties are more common thau most people think and that many symptoms which are supposed to be other diseases arise from the kid neys. He sdid tnat ladies after ges tation arc specially subject to aibu' ruinous troubles which require prompt attention. Well, I then came down and call ed on Dr. II. Imrersoll Bowditch on boylston street: The old doctor was ' inclined to be reticent but fully con firmed all I had previously learned. He had attended Mr. Larabee, and supposed hirn beyond all hope, and? he was afterwards restored, as he said, by Warner's 'Safe Kidney antf Liver cere. I next went to see Dr. Melville E. Webb, at the Hotel Cluney, for yoir see I was determined to be thorough iu the maltur. I found Df: Webb a most clear-headed and well informed gentleman, and he said: "I know of Mr. Larabee's case from having thoroughly investigated? it as a mediqal director of a Life In surance company, and it,, is one of the most remarkable cases 1 have ever met. Mr. Larabee had all the mani festations ot a complication of dis--eases, and in their worst forms. He had albumen and casts in the urine,, and a terrible diseased liver and spleen. Indeed, he was so bad that he threw himself upon tr e floor, and with his head upon a hassock, slrug--gled for breath. It was on the night when he was fo bad and when all his-' medical advisers had long given him up that he began using Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. The? next morning at 10 o'clock he w as able to breathe freely, and has beeir ever since. I subjected him to thee most thorough examination possible, after his recovery, and 'I can't finer out about him.' His kidneys, livep' lungs and heart are perfectly well) and sound. I can only add that' from what I have seen, I would un hesitatingly recommend this remedy. The conclusions from the state- -ments above made which come to fthe newspaper man as well as the general public, must be two-fo'd. First that a modern miracle of heal--ing has been performed in our midst, and that, too; by the simplest means arid one which is in the reach of every one. It should be remembered that Bright's disease is not usually a sud -den complaint. Its beginnings are? slight and its growth slow. The symptoms by which it niay be de- tecled are different with diffeientt persons, no two 'persons usually hav ing the same. This fact was mani fest eVl in the case of Mr. Larabee, and he had no idea of the terrible complaint which attacked him untif it became fixed upon him. Secondly, testimonial of 6ueb high character and so out-spoken in tone, couclus--ively prove the value of the remedy and its superior nature to the propri etary articles with which the publie have been flooded. "The greater includes the less," and the remedy which has been proven so valuable aHfe has saved a lite after it was brought down to death's door, must unquestionably be certain in all minor troubles which) arc so disastrous unless taken in lime. Leaf Fibra. The leaf fibre called pita or bio mella, which grows wild in large quantities in Honduras, is said to be the strongest fibre known, and yet is capable of such finish that it is used half and half with silk, and also with wool and silk, making a very durable fabric. Although the value of thin fibre has-been known, for not less than twenty years, it is only recently that suitable machinery for preparing it for manufacturing purposes has been devised. When finished and ready for sale, the fibre is worth $1000 per ton. Mrs. Scoville denies placing arsenio in a bouquet she 6ent Guiteau the day before he was jerked to "the new re-vnijn."
