THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1894. ADULTERATED FOOD. DECEPTIONS RESORTED TO BY THE . GREEDY AND UNSCRUPULOUS. Information Which Will Enable the House wife to Tell the Genuine From the Doc tored Article A Little Joke at the Batcher's Expense llogros Spices. The adulteration of articles of food Is by no means an invention of modern times, but was practiced by our classic' al ancestors. During the middle ages the cunning baker mixed his flour with lime.sand and gypsum, and on discovery was thrown into a prlnon cell and com pelled to eat the product of his entire bakery, which cured l im of the fraudu lent habit. The most important article of food in every household is the meat. The meat which comes from healthy animals is distinguished by a j.leasant odor and fresh color, from a delicate pink to a deep carmine, according to the animal from which it comes. It must be elas tic to the touch. The dent which is caused by pressing a finerer on it must disappear when the pressure is removed The fatty substance ot the meat is a good indicator of its quality. In healthy animals the fat is yellow and elastic and has a pleasant odor. The fat in the meat from 6ick animals is pale, gray and smeary and has an unpleasant odor. Sausage offers a wide field for adul teration of the most dangerous kind, and in the pamphlets which vegeta rians send broadcast over the land from time to time they give prominence to an anecdote which is as terse as it is il lustrative of the esteem in which they hold the sausage. "A man saved the life of a butcher by endangering his own. The poor butcher, overcome with gratitude, cried out in a moment of self forgetfulness, 'Never in your life again, my friend, 'eat sausage.' " The adulterations in this line are manifold. To produce the fresh red color, so alluring in sausage, fuchsine is mixed with the ingredients instead of blood. It is a very common practice to put flour in sausage, and while a lit tle of it is harmless, it nevertheless leads to early fermentation of the ar ticle in question. The buyer, however, is very much imposed upon when flour is added in large quantities, for it en ables the sausage makers to add from 60 to 70 per cent of water, which is -paid for at the rate of meat. France lias lately put a stop to this fraud by limiting the addition of flour to 3 per cent. Fish are adulterated in the same way by rubbing their gills with aniline, which gives them the appearance of freshness. The aniline is easily washed off and the fraud detected. In fresh fish the eyes are full and protruding, while in old fish they are opaque, dull and sunken. The best way to recog nize an old fish is to watch the gills, which emit an odor of decay if the fish ia too old for use. Crawfish or crabs should always be bought alive. Crabs that are sold al ready cooked have usually been boiled after they were dead, and soon decay, .generating a very dangerous poison. A .crawfish that has been boiled alive will show a curled and twisted tail, while, on the other hand, one that was cooked after death has the tail perfectly straight. . i The best way to tell butter from ole omargarine is to put a piece of it on a hot potato which has been boiled in the jacket and freshly peeled. The taste of batter is more pronounced when eaten in this way than any other, and the fraud is detected. It is also the safest way to .discover the age of dairy or creamery butter. . Lard is frequently adulterated with water to increase its weight, and mixed with cornstarch, salt, chalk, etc., to liod the water to the fat. This may ;be discovered by carefully melting the lard and setting it aside in a lukewarm place. The fat not only separates from the water, but collects at the bottom of the dish with all the other foreign ingredients. To tell good eggs from bad ones it is only necessary to put them in a dish filled with water containing from 5 to 10 per cent of salt. Fresh eggs drop to the bottom, old ones swim on the sur face, and those of medium quality sink lalf way down. All spices suffer more or less adulter ation, but most of all those which are sold in a pulverized state. Ground pep per is mixed with paprica, millet, bread, powdered olives, almond meal, dnst, sand, gypsum, sawdust, spar, and almost the same ingredients are used for the adulteration of cinnamon. Pul verized ginger fares no better and is mixed with potato flour, wheat and cayenne peoper. while the sweet scent ed anise seed comes in for a share of earth, sand and little brown and black stones. Housekeepers will always be more or less cheated in buying powder ed spices, which should be bought in their natural state and ground at home. The vanilla bean before the invention of the aritficial vanilline was deprived of its natural aroma and basted with balm of Peru. Coffee is adulterated in all forms and in every possible way. Machines have been invented and large factories erect ed, where artificial coffee beans are made from acorn flour and gum arabic, and these are mixed with the real coffee, and even the real beans are cov ered with poisonous chemicals- if they have been damaged by sea water in transportation or the influence of the sun or time. Ground or roasted coffee offers the best opportunities, however, for fraud. But all these perpetrators of fraud .3 JM i- i 1 1 1 JtA A ! 3uiu uevepuuu cBiiuut iiuiu a cauuio iu tne jninese, wno are masters in tne an of the adulteration of tea, which they dye, mix and prepare from leaves that have but a bare resemblance to the real tea plant.

The sun ehines through the tree; Now, though unshaken by the wind. The leaves fall ceaselessly; The bells from Woodstock's steeple Shake Blenheim's fading bough. "This day you won Malplaquet" "Aye, something then, but now!" They lead the old man to a chair, . Wandering pale and weak; His thin lips move: so faint the sound You scarce can hear him speak. They lift a picture from the wall. Bold eyes and swelling brow. The day you won Malplaquet" "Aye, something then, but now!" They reach him down a rusty sword In faded velvet sheath; The old man drops the heavy blade And mutters 'tween his teeth. There's sorrow in his fading eye And pain upon his brow. "With this you won Malplaquet" "Aye, something then, but now!" Another year; a stream of lights Flows down the avenue; A mile of mourners, sable clad. Walk weeping -two by two; The steward looks into the grave With sad and downcast brow. "This day he won Malplaquet" "Aye, something then, but nowl" Walter Thornbury in New York Ledger. Peter Cooper on Interest. Peter Cooper was always a careful and prudent business man. He was al ways opposed to the methods of many merchants, who launched out m extrav agant enterprises on borrowed money, for which they paid exorbitant rates of interest. Once while talking about a project with an acquaintance the latter said he would have to borrow the money for six months, paying interest at the rate of 3 per cent. ' ' Why do you bor row for so short a time?" Mr. Cooper asked. "Because the brokers will not negotiate bills for longer." "Well, if you wish," said Mr. Cooper, "I will discount your note at that rate for three years." "Are you in earnest?" asked the would be borrower. "Certainly I am. 1 will discount your note for $10, 000 for three years at that rate. Will you do it?" "Of course I will," said the merchant. "Very well,!' said Mr. Cooper, "just sign this note for $10, 000, payable in three years, and give me your cnecK tor sfeuu, ana tne transac tion is complete. " "But where is the money for me?" asked the astonished merchant. "Youdon'tget anymoney," was the reply. "Your interest for 30 months at 3 per cent per month amounts to 108 per cent, or $10,800. Therefore your check for $800 just makes us even. " The force of this practical illustration of flie folly of paying such an exorbi tant price for the use of money was such that the merchant determined nev er to borrow at such ruinous rates, and he frequently used to say that nothing could have so fully convinced him as this rather humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper. New York Post, An Evening With Andrew Lang. The spelling of the name of Miss Agnes Bepplier and her singular felicity in epigram and phrase inevitably suggest her familiar name in Philadelphia, where she lives. This is the "replier." Her dinner conversation in this respect is cel ebrated among her friends. Miss Bep plier, as is well known, worships at one particular shrine, that of Andrew Lang. Last summer Miss Bepplier was in Eng land and had the anticipated good for tune to be asked to meet Andrew Lang at dinner. It would not have been hu man for Miss Bepplier not to have made a mental toilet as she adorned her body to meet Mr. Lang. But a dinner, we are told, in England is a serious matter. Course after course passed unseasoned by joke, nnspiced by epigram and with out the grace of felicitous allusion. It at length came to an end. Nor did the con versation have any future. The great Andrew sat down on the floor and played for the rest of the evening with a kitten. New York Sun. Flagpoles, With proper care a flagpole ought to last a great many years in spite of the incessant exposure to the elements. Of course the best preservative of wocd is paint, and a man who has a flagstaff which has- cost him a good sum of money should see that it is painted at least once every 12 months. Flagpoles generally rot at the bottom first, and then have to be taken down to prevent them from falling of their own weight. The usual length of a pole on top of a high building is from 50 to 75 feet. It is not difficult to get a pole in one piece 50 feet long, but when a man wants to add 25 feet to that he has to do it by means of splicing. Boston Herald. Graduated from Heidelberg. The daughter of the late Professor Windscheid, the famous German au thority on Roman law, has been gradu ated from the University of Heidelberg with the degree of Ph. D. Fraulein Windscheid is the first woman to be ad mitted to the old seat of learning with the privilege of taking her degree. She passed a brilliant examination. The university, it is said, will probably soon be opened to women. Exchange. J.

The last annual "lion sermon" has been preached in the city, and- the leg acy, left for the purpose "2, centuries ago, will in future be devoted to other uses. Sir Richard Guyer, who subsejj quently became lord mayor, so the story runs, while traveling in Arabia was at tacked by a Ifon. He fell upon his knees and vowed to devote his life to charity if spared from the lion's jaws. The lion thereupon walked quietly away.' London Tit-Bits. THE ANGLER FISH. It Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With Regular Strategy. There is a fish that secures its prey like an artist, with regular strategy, and, strange to relate, nature has fur nished it with a full equipment for the purpose, rod, line and bait. The an gler, as it is called, is by no means a beauty. It is about a yard long and has a huge, toadlike head, an enor mous, gaping mouth and a formidable array of teeth. The first dorsal, or back fin, is almost wholly wanting, its place being occupied by two or three long, slender, movable spines which are fas tened to the body by means of joints. One is attached by a hinge, which per mits of only backward and forward mo tion. The first spine is connected by a reg ular ring and staple and admits of movement in all directions, as it is pull ed this way or that by the muscles. This is the angler's pole, which contin ues into a fine filament or line, and at the end there is a loose, shining slip of membrane, which plays the part of a bait. The angler fish is a slow swimmer, and it would have but little success if it had to chase the swift, active fishes upon which it feeds, so it snares them. Par tially hiding itself in the mud or sand, it waves its long filaments with their glittering tips. As is well known, fishes are attracted by glistening objects moved about in the water. The neigh boring fishes, following the instincts of their inquisitive nature, come to exam ine the curious object, and suddenly they find themselves snapped up in the wide jaws of their bidden foe. The angler is a very voracious crea ture, and on several occasions it has been known to seize a fish that had been hooked and was being drawn to the surface. In one such case the angler seized a codfish and would not loosen its grip until it was struck on the head with a boathook. On another occasion the fish fell a victim to its own glut tony, for having dashed at a conger eel that had just been hooked, and having taken it into its mouth, the eel con trived to escape through one of the gill apertures, and thus it was the uncon scious means of involving its captor in its own fate. Even the cork floatR on lines and nets have been swallowed by the greedy fish, and when taken in a net it de vours its fellow prisoners with perfect unconcern. Mary M. Friend in Phila delphia Times. A Slag Steam Generator. A slag steam generator, for utilizing the waste heat contained in the furnace slag for the production of steam for mo tive power purposes, has been designed by an Australian inventor. The ma chine consists of a steel shell in the form of a strong egg ended receiver, having flattened faces on the top and bottom, and through these flat portions a number of Galloway tubes arranged in two rows and tapered from 5 inches at the top to 10 inches at the bottom are passed, secured to the shell by flanges. The lower or larger end of each tube is. closed by means of a cast iron door manipulated by means of a con venient lever, and the upper end of each tube is provided with a funnel for con veying the slag into the tubes, a pair of iron rails also passing across the upper face of the boiler and all the funnels, thus serving as a track for the slag pots, At each end of the boiler a bin is provided, into which the skin of the slag is dumped, which always sets on the cast iron pots from which it is pour ed, and this redbot material lying against the ends of the boiler plates serves to conserve the heat. New York Sun. Asafetida Seasoning. At a lecture in New York a popular cookery teacher hesitated perceptibly while dictating the recipe for her de licious lobster Columbus. "I know I may expect a groan from the bottom of all your hearts, but real ly the dish will be twice as fine if you will only have the courage to add a penknife's point of powdered asafetida. It smells horribly, I know, but there is nothing that gives such a flavor to made dishes. "Do you ever use it on beefsteak," asked a pupil. "Indeed I dol And isn t it delicious! I never dare to put it into my books, but when I find an audience that can appreciate it I always give them the benefit of my experience. You will find asafetida in my recipe for catsup, for women are used to putting little messes into catsup and pickles that they would never think of putting into anything directly for the tabfe. I always give those other recipes privately to those who ask for them." Boston Globe. An Intelligent llircl. A flT)HipR nf -OTnni-lnpkr inhabits thfi driest parts of ' Mexico, where during i - . . . ' the droughts it must die of starvation unless it made a store. To prevent this it selects the hollow stem of a species of aloe, the bore of which is just large enough to hold a nut. The woodpecker drills holes at interval in the stem, and fills it from bottom: to top with the nuts, the separate holes being apparent ly made for convenience of access to the column of nuts within. Tho intelligence which not only con structs a special storehouse, but teaches the woodpecker to lay by only the nuts, which will keep, and not the insects, which would decay, is perhaps the high-, est form of bird reasoning which has yet been observed.

Winnipeg Special. FLEET FOOTED ZEBRAS. Their Bash of Speed When Alarmed by the Whiz of a Rifle Bail. -The rapidity with which the different zebras have been exterminated, owing to the advance of civilization in South Africa, is shown by reference to such works as that of Sir Cornwallis Harris, written in 1840, in which the author , tells us that the quagga was at the time i found in "interminable herds," bands I of many hundreds being frequently seen, while he describes Burchell s ze bra as congregating in herds of 80 or 100, and abounding to a great extent, but now, after the expiration of but 50 years, the one species is extinct or practically so. while the other has been driven much farther afield and its num. bers are yearly being reduced. This author's description of the com mon zebra is well worth repeating. He says: "Seeking the wildest and most sequestered spots, haughty troops are exceedingly difficult to approach, as well on account of their extreme agility and fleetness of foot as from the abrupt and inaccessible nature of their high land abode. Under the special charge of a sentinel, so posted on some adja cent crag as to command a view of ev ery avenue of approach, the checkered herd whom 'painted skins adorn' is to be viewed perambulating some rocky ledge, on which the rifle ball alone can reach them. No sooner has the note of alarm been sounded by the vedette, than, pricking their long ears, the whole flock hurry forward to ascertain the na ture of the approaching danger, and having gazed a moment at the advanc ing hunter, whisking their brindled tails aloft, helter skelter away they thunder, down craggy precipices and over yawning ravines, where no less agile foot could dare to follow them." . Of Burchell's zebra he says, "Fierce, strong, fleet and surpassingly beautiful, there is perhaps no quadruped in the creation, not even excepting the moun tain zebra, more splendidly attired or presenting a picture of more singularly attractive beauty." Zebras are by no means amiable animals, and though many of the stories told of their feroc ity are doubtless much exaggerated they have so far not proved themselves amenable to domestication. Saturday Review. Dumb Luck. I saw a case of luck awhile ago that nearly made me crazy. I was in a pool room down in Baltimore, and I was playing close to the cushion. Nothing came my way, and I had but a few dol lars between me and the touching of some friend for a stake. I saw a little fellow come in there with a $2 bill and get out with $1,402 in cash. I wasn't next, and I didn't get a cent of it. After it was all over he told us his system, and it almost made me daffy to think that any such fool scheme would go through. "There were five races that after noon, and he played them all. He par leyed his money, and $1,402 is what ho pulled out. If he'd had a good sized roll when he started, he'd have broken the room sure, and every other room in the city. And what do yeu think his system was? You couldn't guess in a thousand years. He placed the seventh horse in every race. He started at the top and counted down to the seventh, and she won. Then in the next race there were but four horses, and he count ed one, two,' three, four and then start ed at the top again and counted five, six, seven. He played that horse and won. That was his scheme. His pick won every race. And what dq you think made him do it? His girl told him to. Luck? Why, some people have it to burn, and he was one of that kind. Not again in 67,000,000 years would that scheme work. I tried it for a week, and I know." Buffalo Express. Court Martial Witnesses. All court martial witnesses who are Protestants are sworn by laying their right v hand, ungloved, on the Bible, closed or open, while the oath is re cited. Kissing the book is frequently required in addition to the laying on of the hand. Raising the right hand and keeping it raised during the recital of the oath is also a form adopted by a number. There are many who prefer to affirm rather than to swear, and those are accommodated by saying: "You do solemnly affirm," instead of "solemnly swear," the right hand being raised or placed on the Bible as before. Form erly it was required to place the right nana on tne open Evangelists. In swearing Roman Catholics, the Bible is closed and has marked on the outer cover a cross, generally cut out of white paper and pasted on. Sometimes a crucifix is placed upon it, which the witness, after the oath is recited, kisses when there is any suspicion in the mind of the president of the court martial, or in that of any of its members. The witness, if a Roman Catholic, after kissing the cross, is frequently directed 4-,v T. If -xt -it i m - to cross himself. New York Times. The Lamp Rock of Asia. - On the shores of Lake Rangknl, in the Cashgar mountains, in central Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock of Asia, which is so called from a cave in its side from which a constant stream of pale, greenish light is emitted, Ney Elias, the English adventurer, who pass ed it in 1835, thinks it possible that the light is due to some phosphorescent mineral in the sides of the cavern near its opening. The natives of that section have never attempted to investigate the matter, each seeming content with the story told by his father, which is this: "The cave is the dwelling place of a demon, who guards vast treasures stored there, and the light is from a diamond worn in a band around his forehead." Elias' explanation ' of the mystery is probably the true one. St. Louis Re oublin. . Helping Hot Out- Mr. Way back Great Scott 1 What you got the hired man plowin up the front yard for?

Do you believe in the superstitions connected with the house of death? The contributor confesses that he has always been skeptical about them, but here are three old signs which prophe sied death in a Waterbury home, which are almost remarkable in their coinci dence, if not in supernatural signifi cance. A group of people were sitting in a pleasant room one evening in one of the euburbs of Waterbury, where neighbor ly intercourse is often freer than in the city itself. There was a knock at the door, and another neighbor came in on an errand. Another knock and another neighbor, and then a third. Thensome one remarked: "Three knocks and three callers. The next will come in without knocking, and death will come in after him." The next incomer opened the door without a knock, and it was a neighbor's boy, as strong and healthy a lad as one is likely to see anywhere. And death was behind him, though they did not see him nor think much of what had been said.. This boy's mother has always been disturbed by an extraordinary anxiety and restlessnes at the approach of death to any of her relatives. It has happen ed several times that she has been pur sued, as it seemed, through the house, from garret to cellar and through all the rooms, by an incorporeal something which she- tried to escape. No one could stop her or quiet her for a long time. A day or two after the myster ious fourth call at the neighbor's dcor. this mother, who had heard nothing about that incident, was seized with this intangible fear and began her per plexed wanderings through the house. In and out, up and down, she walked, with a frightened air, trying to escape what? She did not know, but they agreed that death was pursuing some member of the family. One day not long after, the boy who was the fourth caller and whose mother had had this premonition was sick. Not very, but a little. His father was sent for in the city to come home. He was detained and walked home in the early evening. A strange cat followed him home, crossing his track and wind ing its way in and out of his along the road. At home was another strange cat which had followed a sister home. They were stopped at the door and soon were joined by two more. The four stood there on guard all night and all next day with a dreadful patience and persistence, craving admittance with signs of horrid appetite, dodging into the house whenever the door was open ed, and kept at a distance only by great difficulty. They might have been stoned or shot, but that is not the way the old superstition reads. The boy in side grew worse and died the next day. This is not a very remarkable story, but it made a good deal of an impres sion on the contributor as it was told to him by a member of the family who knew that those things had happened in just this way, that they were old super stitions which still live, and who asked him if he believed there was anything in it. Waterbury (Conn.) Republican. Another Wisconsin Diamond. ( Recently a young son of Charles De-. vine, who resides on a farm 23 miles southwest of the village of Oregon, Dane county, Wis., found a brilliant little stone in a pebbly clay bank and carried it home as a curiosity. The father submitted it to William H. Hobbs, professor, of mineralogy and metallurgy in the University of Wis consin, and he'said that it was a genu ine diamond. It measures three-eighths of an inch in diameter, weighs four carats, and is a rhombic dodecahedron, with its 12 faces slightly rounded, one of the signs of a good stone. It was in the glacial drift and came of course from the north, where geologists have long insisted conditions exist favorable to diamond discoveries. This specimen is of good color and is worth perhaps $200. This find recalls the big diamond found at Waukesha in 1884, which sold for $1,000, and about which extensive litigation occurred. Both finds are in the same drift.- The Oregon diamond bed is amoftg the Sugar river pearl fish eries of southern Dane county.
