How Articles OF Every Day Use are
y Adulterated.

The Baltimore american says that ten
individuals In that city who purchase
largely Of what is designated as "pure
milk from the country" have had sam
pies Of It analyzed. In every one oi the
ten samples a thorough, accurate, scien-
tifc and microscopical investigation re-
suited in the discovery Of either blood,
mueus or pus in each sample, and in some
Of them all Of these tuerstound! The only
difficulty was to discover which of the
samples was the worst.
But milk Is only one Of the articles in
which the people are systematically
swindled. 1t quotes the statement 'oi q
gentleman "who Is well informed on the
subject" that there is not one sample in
ten Of green tea that "has not been adul-
,era,ed or manipulated" E @
"The chief difficulty in the adultera-
ton OF tea Is, that American plumbers
can not successfully solder the thin sheets
Of lead that line the tea chests, and,
hence, large importers cannot as success
fully adulterate as second dealers, or those
handling alter the chests are broken
Open" ..sF..-,..s rs-gs,,s =
The black teas that are known as So
cohongs and congous are rarely adulter,
s,ed, but some other varieties Of black
teas ale never Otherwise than adulterated.
These are the black gunpowders, capers
or churlans, and scented orange ,Pekoe.
There are dozen kinds Of the. spurious
tes, which the Chinese call lye tea, OF
which four or five hundred thousand
pounds are annually imported into Eng.
land. A Baltimore street tea dealer says
that q whole cargo Of this lye tea was
recently brought to New York.
The substance used by the Chinese and
Americans who tadulterate tea are the
leaves Of beech, elm, horse. chestnut,
plane, taney.oak, willow, poplar, elder,
plumb and aloe, colored and glazed with
such substances as rose pink, Dutch
pink, catechu, chromate Of lead, sulphate
Of iron, Venetian red, soapstone, carbun-
ste Of magnesia, carbonate OF copper,
Arsenite OF copper, chromate OF potash,
Prussian blue and indigo.
In one case, where sample was anal:
yzed, there was found In 1t 80 per cent Of
