Dangerous Articles of Food.
IN. o. Times.I

1t looks very much as if the time
were not far distant when people would
partake of food with fear and tremb-
ling. 1t the scientists are to be believ-
ed some of the commonest and most
necessary kinds Of food are largely ad-
uttered with poisonous substances
or are inhabited by deadly parasite
known as trichina. 1t is we'll known
that this parasite is found in pork and
bacon, and lately it is said that it has
been found in fish. Not very long ago
there was a great cutlery against the
bakers because they put alum in their
bread. Physician swrote learned and
lengthy essays, showing that alum,
taken in sufficient quantities is danger
Gus to health and is productive of var
lous kinds OF diseases. just now, how
ever, public attention is directed
towards glucose sugar and oleomarga-
Ilne. There is, perhaps, no particular
fault to be found with either of those
articles when they are manufactured
out OF pure materials. Unfortunately,
however, on account of the great COM
petition in their manufacture, large
quantities OF them are made of mater
rails that are totally unfit for food and
which are, III fact, poisonous. A great
deal OF eleomargarine is made Of the
hlthlest KIND OF grease, and is cOlored
and Favored with drugs and essences
that are productive OF the most danger
Gus results when taken into the human
system.
Glucose sugar is pure and wholesome
when made from grapes or corn, but it
is otherwise when made with acids and
oils. Some idea of the materials used
in the manufacture of the spurious
glucose may be gathered from a report
which Professor Kidder, the distin-
guished chemist Of Michigan Agricultu-
raj College, made relative to certain
kinds Of table syrup which he analysed
He announced that of seventeen sam.
Piles OF table syrup recently examined
by him fifteen proved to be made of
glucose, one of which contained al
grains of oil of vitriol and 124 grains of
lime to the gallon. Another, which had
caused serious sickness to an entire
family, contained 70 grains of oil of
vitrlol, % grains OF copperas and 1863
grains of lime to the gallon. 1t is diff
cult, of course, to estimate the extent
to which the glucose sugar is mixed
pure cane sugar. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, thata very large portion of sugar
that is at present put upon the market,
is thus adultered. Eminent physicians
declare that the great increase in that
horrible complaint, known as bright's |
disease, is due, in a great measure, to
the poisonous matter found in glucose. |
Ii the half Of what is said of |
glucose and oleomargarine is true, the
lawmakers of every State in the Union
Ire guilty of criminal neglect, in failing
20 make provision for preventing the
and sale Of these articles,
except under such restrictions as will
insure their purity.

Died from Eating Too Much
Wedding Cake.
tOnancOk Virginian. !

We do not know who first invented
cake, or upon what occasion, or in
| what age of the world it first became
lndlssolubly associated with wedding
occasions 1t is, however, an incident
in every day experience that man
| on his way to wedding, as in ord
nary avocations of life, should
hunger end should wish to refresh the
inner man. This unhappily, was Lloyd
Hopkins experience. Hopkins, who
was hale, hearty, robust young man,
while on his way to a marriage feast
a few days since, felt an overwhelm-
lug desire for cake, and accordingly,
stepping into store, boosted that lie
could eat twenty-five molasses cakes.
The proprietor or some one standing
by offered to pay for that number,
provided Hopkins would eat them, the
latter to pay for all he should eat under
that number. Atfifteen Hopkins, de-
clared himself full but the pay being de-
manded, he persevered until the whole
twenty-five were consumed. This was
charity to a fault of the merchant.
Hopkins then proceeded to the we'd
ding, where he further eat a hearty
supper. On his way home he was
taken sick, laid out all night, and on
arriving home the next morning was
taken with a congestive chill, and
died suddenly.

Remarkable Incident.

A few days ago an incident occurred
IN the courtroom in Waxahachie, Ellis
county, Texas, which is undoubtedly
without. precedent in the history of
criminal cases. An uneducated negro.
convicted by circumstantial evidence
upon an Indictment for conspiracy to
commit murder, his motion for q new
trla! having been oyerreled, was called
up for sentence to the penitentiary, and
was asked by the district Judge if he
had anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced according to law.
In a speech, which electrified all nres.
ent by its burning eloquence, the pris-
oner, who had been represented Nv
counsel appointed by the court, re,
viewed the evidence on the trial. ex-
posed Inconsistencies in it which his
