There is also, it is said, a demand for
sugared rose petals, which is being
catered to by some enterprising artists
in sugar. It can hardly be pretended
that flowers made Into “sweets” are of
any medicinal efficacy, though damask
rose leaves have long held a recog­
nized place in the materia medlca.
Whether the violet has any thera­
peutic qualities does not appear,
though the leaves (not the flower)
have just now some reputation—out­
side the medical faculty—as a cure
for cancer. The best that can be
hoped for, if flowers are to be eaten
as well as to be seen and smelled, is
that they may in all cases prove to be
Innocuous. It is a nice question
whether the perfume is always a safe
guide.
Perhaps the modern craze is, after
all. only a form of luxury. A candled
violet or a dish of rose leaves cun­
ningly prepared for the tea table could
not possibly enter Into the category of
cheap sweets for the millions, and it
is understood that the sugar trust is
not interested.

A GROCERY IN CONGRESS.

REPRESENTATIVE MANN PLAYS
SALESMAN AND DRUGGIST TO
UNMASK FRAUDS.
Short Weight and Fraudulent Foods
the Lure of Many Department
Stores and Mail Order Houses.
Honest Dealers Handicapped by
Deceptions.
When the pure food bill was before
the House of Representatives a few
weeks ago, intense interest was dis­
played by the members of that body
In a "grocery store" established by
Representative Mann of Illinois. Mr.
Mann had been given a special privi­
lege by the House committee having
the bill in charge to demonstrate the
manner in which the ordinary food

products of the country are adulter­
ated, and how the consumer is de-
frauded. The space in front of the
speaker’s desk resembled a small
section of a delicatessen store and a
corner grocery with cereals, jams,
jellies, tins of peas, tomatoes, corn,
prepared spices, bottles of whiskey and
wine, imported sausages, brandied
cherries and other edibles and drink­
ables scattered over two tables.
Representative Mann proceeded to
demonstrate to the nouse through
these various food products the neces­
sity for a national pure food law.
One of the first articles taken up by
the Congressman was the ordinary
condiment—pepper—which to the lay
mind is considered too cheap for any
manufacturer to spend time in adul­
terating. He read circulars from nu­
merous concerns offering for sale a
certain grade of adulterant which
could be used to produce pepper or
almost any other of the spices with
some slight modification. As be scat­
tered a package of this over his desk
the memliers In the vicinity started
back in order to avoid the usual sneez­
ing which follows the inhalation of a
small quantity of pepper. But they
were reassured by the "groceryman”
that it was not harmful, for while
it was called popper It was nothing
but ground olive pits. He convulsed
tlie House when be read the price list
of adulterants showing that they were
offered to the trade for $20 a ton In
five-ton lots, and that at that rate they
were guaranteed to make the finest
black pepper which, as everyone
knows. Is sold by the ounce. He made
the statement that even the pepper
berry itself was adulterated by a
cleverly contrived manufacture of tap-
ioco colored with lamp black.
Possibly the most striking demon­
stration of the afternoon was one with
a bottle of red cherries. These cher­
ries, it was explained, were picked
green, and that after l»clng bleached
out white by the use of a powerful
acid, had l>een colored the brilliant
red by the use of coal tar dye—a
deadly poison if used in large quanti­
ties. Representative Mann dipped a
piece of white cloth In the "juice” of
these cherries, and it partook of a
brilliant red as though It had just come
from a dyers.
Olive oil. explained Mr. Mann, Is a
product which Is In most cases, adul­
terated. In many Instances the coun­
terfeit is merely American cotton mssl
oil—a wholesome and satisfactory
dressing for salad, but It costs alsiut
% as much as real olive oil, and the
American buyer certainly does not
care to purchase a dressing for four
times Its actual worth.
HIVELESS HONEY.
One of the freak dibits was a
bottle of "honey” which, in order to
complete the assurance of the buyer
that the article was genuine, contained,
as if by accident, the body of a real I
bee. yet the whole mesa was pure and
simple glucose, and bad never been
near a hive, much less a comb. The
hive probably was a ten story fac­
tory in one of the large cities.
A bottle of "Freeglne” was exhibited
by Mr. Mann, who explained that thia
remarkable article was guaranteed to
preserve meat from the action of the
air and stop decay. Wille be ad­
mitted that It would stop the action of
nature on meats, be claimed that the
preservative Itself was actually poison­
ous, containing sulphide of soda with
red coal tar dye and could not be
tuw*d aafely upon human food.

bottle supposed to contain a quart of
vinegar, which when poured into a
large graduate did not nearly reach the
quart mark thereon—in fact was three
inches below It. Raisins, currants and
numerous other articles of food are
apparently put up in pound packages
and so the buyer considers, but in fact
few of those on the rnurket really con­
tain a full pound.
DEPARTMENT STORE BARGAINS.
“It is the department stores and
mall order houses.” said the demon­
strator, “which make profit from short
weight cans and under-sized bottles.
We are seeking to protect the legiti­
mate grocery and the honest canner
from men who are willing to make
money by depriving the people of
things they think they are getting.
All that we urge is that an approx­
imate «’eight or measure may be put
upon each one of these packages and
then, if tlie public chooses to buy
a smaller package at a smaller price
it may do so, but the manufacturers
and dealers must not any longer de­
ceive the people as to how much they
are buying.”
BREAKFAST FOODS A DELUSION.
On the tables where Mr. Mann, ably
but silently assisted by Mr. Stevens
of Minnesota, acted now as grocery-
man, now as druggist, and now as
bartender, there were a dozen or more
packages of breakfast foods with their
familiar labels. A reference to table
weights and skillful dropping of pack­
ages upon a balance scale in front of
him enabled Mr. Mann to show that
In a great many cases the public paid
full price for an abnormal amount of
pasteboard box. In scarce any case
did the prepared food weigh twice as
much as the box, and in many In­
stances food and package were in near­
ly equal proportion.
Everybody knew, as Mr. Mann
stated, that 25 per cent, of all the
coffee used in the United States is sold
as a mixture of Java and Mocha. He
was prepared to show from official
For a time Sir Nigel was very moody
■ nd downcast, with bent brows and eyes
upon the pommel of his saddle. Edricson,
Ford and Terlake rode behind him. The
four rode aloue, for the archers had
passed a curve in the road, though Al­
leyne could still hear the heavy clump,
clump of their marching, or catch a
glimpse of the sparkle of steel through the
tangle of leafless branches.
“Ride by my side, I entreat of you,”
said the knight, reining in his steed that
they might come abreast of hint
“For, since it bath pleased you to fol­
low me to the wars, it were well that you
should know how you may best serve me.
I doubt not, Terlake, that you will show
yourself a worthy son of a valiant fa­
ther, and you, Ford, of yours, and you
Edricson, that you are mindful of the old-
time house from which all men know that
you are sprung. Ami first 1 would hnve
you bear very steadfastly in mind that
our setting forth is by no means for tbe
purpose of gaining spoil or exacting ran­
som, though it may well happen that such
may come to us also. We go to France,
and from thenc*», I trust, to Spain, in
humble search of a field in which we may
win advancement and perchance somo
small share of glory. But what is this
among the trees?”
"It is a shrine of Our Lady,” sail
Terlake, “and a blind beggar who lives
by the alms of those who worship there.”
“A shrine!” cried the knight. "Then
let us put up an orison.” And pulling
off bis cap, and clasping his hands, he
chanted in a shrill voice: "Benedictus
dominua Deus meus, qul docet matius
mens ad proellum, et digltos meos ad
helium.” A strange figure he seemed to
his three squires, perched on his huge
horse, with his eyes upturned and the
wintry sun shimmering upon his bald
head. “It Is a noble prayer,” he re­
marked, putting on bls bat again, "and
it wns taught to me by the noble Chandos
himself. But how fares it with you,
father? Methinks that I should have
ruth upon you, seeing that I am
myself like one who looks through a horn
window while his neighbors have the
clear crystal. Yet, by St. Paul! there is
a long stride between the man who hath
a horn casement and him who is walled
in on every hand.”
"Alas, fair sir!” cried the blind man.
"I have not seen the blessed blue of hea-
of abuse, varied by an occasional thwack
from her stick, given with all the forse
of her body, though she might have bees
beating one of the forest trees for aM
the effect that she seemed likely to pro­
duce.
“I trust Aylward,” said Sir Nigel,
gravely, as he rode up, “that this doth
not mean that any violence hath been
offered to women If such a thing hap­
pened, I tell you that the man shall
hang, though be were the best archer
that ever wore brassart."
"Nay, my fair lord,” Aylward answered
with a grin, “it is violence which la
offered to a man. He cornea from Hordle,
and this is his mother who bath come
forth to welcome him.”
“You rammucky lurden,” she was howl­
ing, with a blow between each catch of
het breath, “you sbammocking, yaping,
over-long good-for-naught. I will teach
thee! I will baste thee! Aye, by my
faith 1”
“Whist, mother.” said John, looking
back at her from the tall of his eye. “I
go to France as an archer, to give blows
and to take them.”
"To France, quotha?” cried the old
dame. “Bide here with me. and I shall
warrant you more blows than you are
like to get in France. If blows be what
you sc<k, you need not go further than
Hordle.”
“By my blit! tbe good dame speaks
tiuth,” said Aylward. "It seems to be
the very home of them.”
“What have you to say, you clean-
shaved galleybagger? cried the fiery
dame, turning upon tbe archer. “Can I
not speak with my own son but you must
let your tongue clack? A soldier, quotha,
and never a balr on bla face. I have
seen a better soldier with pap for food
and swaddling-clothes for harness.”
“Stand to It, Aylward,” cried the
archers, amid a fresh burst of laughter.
"Do not thwart her, comrade,” said big
John. “She hath a proper spirit for her
?iars and cannot abide to be thwarted,
t is kindly and homely to me to hear
het voice and to feel that she la behind
me. But I must leave you now, mother,
for the way is over-rough for your feet;
but I will bring you back a silken gown,
if there be one In France or Spain, and
I will bring Jinny a silver penny; so

"You have been blind to much that

you have also been spared much that is
sorry and foul. But, by St. Paul I we
must on. or our Company will think that
they bare loot their captain somewhat
early in the venture. Throw the loan my
purse, Edricson, and let us go.”
Alleyne, lingering behind, bethought
him of the Lady Loring's counsel, and
reduced the noble gift which the knight
had so freely bestowed to a single penny,
which the beggar, with many mumbled
blessings, thrust away into his wallet.
Then, spurring bis steed, the young sqnfre
rode at the top of bis speed after bis
companions, and overtook them just at
the spot where the trees fringe off into
the moor ano the straggling hamlet of
Hordle Ilea scattered on either side of th»
winding and deeply rutted track. Th»
Company was already well-nigh through
the village; but as the knight and bls
squires closed up upon them, they heart
th*- clamor of a strident voice, followed
by a roar of deep-chested laughter from
the ranks of the archers. Another minute
brought them up with th* rear-guard,
where every man marched with his beard
on bis shoulder and a face which was
a grin with merriment. Ry the ride of
the column walked a huge red-bes'led
bowman, with his bands thrown out in
argument and expostulation, while done
at his heels followed a little wrinkled
woman, who poursd forth a shriU volley
and then, taking his place In tbe rank*
again, marched on with tbe laughing Cour
pany.
"That was ever his way,” she cried,
appealing to Sir Nigel, who reined up bis
horse and listened with the gravest cour­
tesy. "He would jog on hie own road for
