-THE President is the only re-
sponsible part of the government re-
naming in Washington. He stays,
not because he likes it, but because
he has stern duty to perform. 1t
is essential to the stability of the
government that he should announce
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Satur-
days that he is going to begin to en-
force some civil service reforms pretty
soon; on Tuesdays and Fridays he
feels it necessary to say that if any
body supposes he is weakening on the
question of civil service reform it
is a great mistake, and on Thursday
he strengthens up after breakfast and
gives notice that the country had
better keep an eye on its noble Ex-
ecutive, for he is about to do some
thing TO show his, grit. On Sunday
he gives his overworked mouth a

Adulferation of Food.

Cheapness of lying is one Of ihss marked
features OF the Zines. Staple articles of
daily Consumption have not been as cheap
since 1850 as at the present day, and the
tendency still seems to be downward. The
laboring man who is SO fortunate as to
have steady employment even at low wages
can live comfortably and support his family
with comparative ease. And when the
laborer has no cause of complaint on ac-
count OF high prices, certainly the rest OF the
community is IN a condition to be con-
tented. But, unfortunately there is another
side to this picture. TIE cheapness OF 8
great many staple articles of food does
not result from the reduced cost of manu-
featuring them alone, nor from an over
supply, but is in consequence OF wholesale
adulteration of manufacturers and dealers.
This subject has attracted considerable at
tention for several years. nor only on &C.
count of the fraud practlced. but also land
chiefly because the public heath is in
volved. or late, the matter has been
thoroughly investigated by competent scien-
tific men IN Eastern cities with view of get
ting at the bottom facts, and finding out just
what articles were adulterated and how
they were adulterated. Now and then the
the newspapers have published contribu-
tions on the subject from chemists and
others giving results of analysis. Perhaps it
is not generally known. however, to what
extent adulteration enters into the groceries

Where bright little heads oft have lain,

access, and are often drsined of their CON
tents by men and animals travelling between
Yuma and Sonora. The upper tanks are
approached only by circuitous ard difficult
climbing over rocks. To one standing be-
low they afford no indication of their ex-
istence, nor does climbing the smooth, steep
mountain side seem possible to one unac-
quainted with the way to do it. In the
upper tanks water has never. been known TO

mountain sheep and deer of several kinds,
