"Looks that way." "Sure does. Yoil remind me forcibly of the case of a colored hack driver down south. One day lie and his dllap- Iduted cab and moth-eaten horse were all asleep by the curb.

It Is an extraordinary fact that there are stll many persons In this country who undertake to salvage canned food, which they know to be spoiled, by making It Into salads and kuch dishes. The Journal of the American Med ical association publishes a long re port by Drs. C'harlea Thorn. Ruth B. Edinnndson and L. S. tiiltner of the microbiological laboratory. United States department of agriculture, Washington, on several recent deaths due to eating canned asparagus (hat had spoiled. And Jt adds an editorial saying Hint "botulism,'" as the 'fatul disease Is called, la "disturbingly fre quent In the I'nlted Suites (apparent ly no ctiso has ever occurred In Ureal lliitnlii)." The canned vegetable to blame are almost always (hose. put up at home, and have generally been (rented with out boiling, although boiling does not always kill the putroraetive germs hnt cause the trouble. When canned foods spoil (hey are not even to be tasted, for a minute quantity Is sufficient (o cause death. Nor sjionld domestic animals be per mitted to rat them. There would seem to he no occasion for any one to meet this quick hut terrible death, for spoil ed canned vegetables always smell nasty, and the vile odor ought to be warning enough for anybody.

Summing up seven years of (ravel In the Interior of Africa, where the na tives are "uncorruptod by ulcoliol, Kuropcan morals, mid the love of gain euner ny rair means or fraud, an Englishman, Mr. K.

Odd human beings, as the rest of us hoar of them; but the traveler left thorn with regret, looking down from bis steamer on the crowd gal leered when he was leaving the Congo, "among whom there was not one who was not my friend." "Oeke" was his name among the na tives, mid as he steamed away, (here stood his "dear black friends, waving their bauds, cloth, branches, and any thing that came to hand, and shouting In the uallve tongue, 'Good-hy, Poke; don't forget us.'"
