The Washington Republic AYERS that
during the discussion on the Library bill
Senator Thurman, in answer to remark
by Mr.. Blaine that we might as we'll have
a national academy of music as a national
library he said should oppose national con
servatory of music because it would op.
crate against little establishment of that
sort in his own State, the Conservatory al
Cincinnati, upon which Mr.. Eaton, 10 an
audible aside, remarked: "Oh, that's all
right: it wont hurt Ohio to establish O
conservatory here, because nearly all Ohio
is here already"

SleepinC Cars.


The State Register has seen tit to pub
lish long argument in the defense Of the
present rates charged by the Pullman
Palace Gar Co. just what induced the
Register, which claims to be opposed to
grinding mOnopolies, to see fit to do this we
cannot exactly see, Of course the books
of the Pullman Company can be arranged
so as to show to subcommittee that their
investment yields return of onlyS per
cent 1t is very easy to see how this can
be done, but we dislike very much to think
that the Register could be made to see FL
to publish an argument in defense of a
monopoly in the same way that a sub-com-
mittee could be made to see fit to report
such nonsense. Now no one ever &C
cused the G. r. l.. & p. road of
ever continuing anything that did
not return more than 8 per
ceut. on the capital invested, yet
this road runs palace sleeping cars between
Chicago and Council Bluffs and Leaven-
worth which are in every particular fully
equal to Pullman cars and their charges
are 25 per cent less than those Of the Pull
man Palace Car Co. Has the State Regis
ter u pass in its pocket signed by the
officers Of the Pullman company We
are not surprised that the Raal,Uay Age
should defend this monopoly, nor would it
surprise US to see arepublican paper doing
it. but we are not used to, seeing SO con-
sistent defender of the peoples right as
the Register in this kind Of business.
Since writing the above we have re-
ccived a copy of the article published by
the Register from e. A. Cook & Co., ad-
yertisiDg agents, of Chicago, with the very
gentle insinuation that the article will in
teresV our readers, and I'VE (Cook & Co.
would be glad to see it in your paper.
This is the secret of the thing, the Pull
mau Car Co. have probably paid this ad-
ver,islng firm to secure the publication OF
the article in all of the papers Of the state
with view Of influencing the legislature.
Advertising agents do not usually 90 this
kind Of work without pay and there is no
one likely TO pay except the Pullman Com
pauy. Cook & Co., do not,in their circular,
offer to pay for the publication Of the arti-
Gle, but presume that most of the country
papers will publish it for the reason that
Cook X Co, think it will interest their
readers. Very kind, Iced, of Cook &
Co. to assist in the editing of these papers
Another reason is because Cook & Co.
will "be glad to see it published" in these
papers. If the Pullman Car Co. did not
furnish the state legislative committee
with tree passes, if it did not make Cook
d Co. GLAD" to see articles in defense of
its monopoly published 10 the newspapers
Of the state, it could probably pay more
than per cent. on its capital invested.
The committee Of the legislature must
have made curious examination of the
books of the company, and have forgotten
the statement of the officers of the COM
pany, made at the time that Angel ran

Food AdulteratiOns.

Mr.. Angel of Boston has been making
some exposures of late regarding the adul-
terations of food. He shows that there are
but few articles of sale and purchase which
some scoundre has not found way of adul-
terating. Cayenne pepper is adulterated
with white lead mustard with chromate of
lead vinegar with sulphuric acid arsenic
and corrosive sublimate pickles with cop
per; syrups, fiavoring oil, jellies and pre-
served fruits contain poisons tea and ground
coffoo are largely adulterated, and chocolate
with minerals. White stone is ground up
for adulterating soda, sugar and -four. A
Boston chemist found seventy-fve per cent
of terra alba in one sample of cream tartar
The oleomargarine butter is often manu-
factured from the fat of diseased animals.
In San Francisco, tea is made of ex-
hausted tea-leaves colored with Prussian
blue. Whiskey contains creosote, salts of
copper, alum, ETC.. California wines are
manufactured in Boston of deleterious in
gradients; and in a cask of wine, marked
"pure sherry" for the sick, an analysis
failed to discover single drop of the juice
of the grape. A leading Boston sugar dealer
said that sugar, molasses and strained honey
were so largely adulterated that he dared
not use them except in small quantities.
Kerosene oil is so adulterated, that out of
twenty samples tested by Boston chemist
eighteen were dangerous. Then we are in
formed that good deal of clothing is poi
sonous. In green dress eight grains of ar
senic were found in square foot Arsenic,
corrosive sublimate, and other poisons are
used i'll coloring wells, thread, silk, paper
collars, boot Innings, etc. Wall papers, tick
cts, cards, etc., contain quantities of arsenic.
In respect to coffee, when it was found that
many people would not buy ground coffee
because they were suspicious it was adulter-
ated, fndish ingenuity went to work to cheat
on new tack. A soft blue clay was ground
and mixed with extract of chicory and dan.
delion; then moulded in coffee bean shape
roasted, and mixed with certain proper
ton of pure coffee, also roasted In Eng
land, machine has been invented for press
ing finely ground chicory into moulds of the
exact shape Of coffee beans. These are but
few of the devices that are employed by
the scoundrels who are robbing the people
through the art of aduteration There i.
little doubt that, sooner or later, the people
will become sufficiently aroused to the i'm
portance of matter that so intimately con
Germs the public health, as to compel the en-
actment OF laws to severely punish all whC
| practice the Infamous art of food adultera
tion, with further provision for the con
demnation and destruction of all food tha
competent inspectors shall find to be injuri
Gus to health. In this way, the great evi
may be greatly checked if not wholly RENE
| died.-MeSSenger

A babe in the house may or may not be
"a wellspring of joy" as we care for the
little immortals committed TO our care. /
can never forget the thrill of love which
surged through my being when I clasped
my first baby to my breast. never under
stood Gods love TO us before. / then felt
how "God so loved the world he gave his
only begotten son for u.s." Mother-love is
akin to the divine. The baby is here, and
has come TO stay, If we do our part in caring
for it. The mother is almost as helpless as
the little one by her side, with the weight of
responsibility thrown upon her II she has
secured kind, tractable nurse she is fortu-
nate, but it is to be hoped that she has some
knowledge of the necessary care, from her
physician or from books on the subject, that
she may at least be able TO advise with the
nurse. The baby's two primary wants are
food and sleep, and If these two matters are
arranged rightly, the little one will thrive,
and its advent in the home circle will be an
increasing joy. Let its food be of the sim
plest kind; Of the quality aud quantity l
have not time here to speak, but satisfy its
hunger If not its cravings. Never let it fall
asleep on the mothers arm. 1t cannot sleep
so well, and she has not the strength at first
to bear it. When it seems sleepy, or If it is

the nurse remove it to crib and cover it
warmly and carefully, and let it rest as long
as it will. 1t may sleep three hours or more.
Takeitup carefully and supply its every want,
then lay it away to sleep again. Let the
aud undressing, observing the same hours
day after day, until the mother can perform
these duties or, if left to the nurse entirely
the mother should spend that hour in the
baby's company. Every fourth hour in the
day should be the baby's, the intervening
hours the mothers, to rest, ride, or work ;
and when the baby's hour comes she will
welcome it with delight, and have more pure
enjoyment than though she had worried with
it in her arms throughout the day If punct-
ual to the hour, she will find the baby crow
ing and laughing, ready for her. Never
wait for it to cry, and do not take it up be-
cause it cries. Divert it in some way, and
when quieted, take it up then IL it is best.
baby soon becomes an exacting tyrant if
every cry is noticed. But the mother and
the nurse will say, " The child is too young
to train" Not so. Begin with its life.
Habits begin there-form good ones. The
child will cry some. 1t must, for develop
ment. But the mother must be firm, pa
tient and kind. These habits can only be
formed by patient steady aim at the object
desired 1t may take six weeks of the babys
life, but after they are established she will
be more than repaid. / would not lay down
rule to you that has not been proved. In
form your friends of the baby's hours, so as
never to waken it for them. You will watch
and welcome that hour Let the baby lie in
your arms and drink in the sunshine of your
loving smiles, and the little CLEANS of dawn

brighter than all things else.-Mrs. Z. c..

During the raid of General Sherman
through South Carolina, a widow lady, the
sister-in-law of Brother Hartwell, our mis-
sionary to China, was robbed by the troops
of all her provisions; not vestige was left
for the support of herself and orphan
children. The surrounding country for
miles shared the same fate. Starvation
seemed inevitable, inasmuch as days would
necessarily elapse before aid could be OBJ
tanned from the more fortunate districts.
In her helplessness, what could she do
She had called to mind Eli jah's deliverance.
and with the same trusting confidence she
cried unto him who is the Friend that stick
eth closer than brother. She gathered
the little ones in the chamber and laid her
wants before him who had promised to never
forsake his chosen. 1t was the trial of
faith, yet a trial made in faith, believing
that God would save her and her little ones
from starvation. As she concluded her APP
peals she heard noise in the basement
story of the residence. On entering the
room cat sprang to the window aud es-
capped into the yard, leaving a large rabbit
lying on the floor, which it had but few
minutes before caught and brought in.
"God be praised for this deliverance" was
the outburst of grateful heart With joy
full heart was the rabbit served up for the
hungry little ones. And more remarkable
than all, this cat brought in rabbit for
thirteen consecutive days, supplying the
family until aid was obtained from friends

guage, "and it shall come to pass that before
they call will answer, and while they are
yet speaking / will hear "-DeuotiOnal
