. GREEDY AND UNSCRUPULOUS.

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

THE DEATH OF MARLBOROUGH.
The sun ehines on the chamber wall.
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"

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.

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.

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

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. London Spectator.

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

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

THREE OLD DEATH SIGNS.
A Case Where Their Application Furnishes
Food For the Superstitious.
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
