Here Ia a specimen retailed one day this

the Kanaka who ran down u coyote is now

witnessed the race. II was on the coast OF
California, and the whaling brig Kohala's
boats Captain Cogan) were sailing along
the beach. who they saw n dead whales

and around it. Some of the officers ex-
pressed q wish to get one of these animals
alive. when one of the native sailors said
that If they would land him he would caltch
ons alive. He was laughed at and called a
fool-fora coyote is n mighty spry creature.
He said he had run goats down at the ia
lands. 80. for the fun of the thing he was
landed close to the dead whale. stripping
naked with the exception of a marc. and

Stammcrsrs in France are said to number
1875 persons to every $4,000 OF the popula-
ton. This computation is based on the
enlistment returns, from which it appears
that shout one thousand persons are annu-
ally rejected Gs army recruits. on account
Of ~staminering. With such partial and in
complete data to go upon, it is evident that
the calculation can only be approximate.
Exemption on account of stammering would,
and might make hesitation in speech more
eficacious than voluble misstatements.

The investigation OF the sugar frauds, as
they are called in New York, has brought to
light the practice Of refners In that city of
using poisonous chemicals for bleaching and
purifying srgar--the chief material being
murate Of tin, which eheapens the cost Of
whiting one-half cent q pound. This, on the
whole amount OF sugar treated by a large re-
fnery, would give profit Of 81 900, 900 ye ar
It is stated that one Of the chief ingredients
used in adultering sugar is corn glucose
which is cheaper than sugar, and from the
mixture of which in the refining vats with
sugar another profit comes to the refiner at
the expense Of the ignorant consumer. In
deed, the demand for glucose for adHlterating
sugar in New York is said to have become so
great that the starch manufacturers made
more out Of their glucose than out Of their
starch. AL old refiner Is quoted as follows on
the subject:
[ have seen the results OF analyses and in
addition to the glucose, muriatie acid and tin,
copper has been found in the samples ex-
amined. The presence OF copper is accounted
for on the suppositfon that the acid was ap-
piled in such strength that it corroded the
copper vessels used in manufacture The
large that it had overcome the tin, which it
had bronzed Samples that have been ana
lyzed, and even those partially tested, have
shown the presence OF these foreign SUBJ
| stances. I cannot indicate the percentages
developed by the analyses; but the degree OF

sumers. Muriate Of tin, Of course, is q rank
