a New York confectioner said, 81 claim
to make ice cream of pure material, but
cannot afford to sell it at the price lai(
down by the large manufacturers. They
charge dollar gallon. l charge $1.5O
and, although l give my customers pure
article for their money, l don't suppose
that I make nearly as much profit out ofs
gallon as the large firms make who sell Il
fifty cents cheaper.
"Why?"
ssThe reason is plain enough. Ii yot
will read this postal card it will give yot
the kew to the whole mystery"
New York. May IA, 1881.
DEAR SIR: We herewith send sample; pleas
give it fair trial. Price so cents per pound.
Respectfully yours,
"This sample packet contained two
ounces of what was called gelatine, and is
said to make one and half quarts OF
crystalline jelly. In reality" the confec-
tioner continued, cit is nothing more mol
less than fair quantity Of glue, which
can be bought at any drug store. The
cost is estimated at from 25 to so cents
pound. 1t is not even gelatine, for gela'
tine is usually sold in sheets. These two
ounces are sufficient to make two gallons
of ice cream. 1t is first melted in luke
warm milk and then poured into the
freezer to give the cream body. Nearly
all the large manufacturers use it, and in
proportion to the amount ofglue they put
in, the less cream they require. 1t is
quite easy to tell when ice cream is adul-
terated. 1t has puffy appearance some
what like Charlotte Russe and if you
plunge a spoon into it you will almost
feel the air rush out. After eating it a
peculiar sensation is felt in the throat.
This ARISES from two causes: First
from the gelatine, SO called; and second
ly, from the adulterated tavoring that is
used. For instance, the Lemon flavor is
obtained from oil of lemons; the straw
berry flavor from concentrated strawber-
rv, which in turn is made from ether
the vanilla extract from alcohol, as it does
not paw to make it from the beans which
cost $40 per pound. That is how some
manufacturers get their favoring. Since
this refined gluehas been introduced, corn
starch is used less extensively. 1t is not
uncommon for big dealers to put bone
dust in their sugar, so that you see there
is another item of adulteration.''
'Wnat does a quart of pure ice cream
cost?"
GA quart of pure cream costs 20 cents.
can buy cream for Is cents but it amt
pure. -Four fresh eggs cost eight cents,
a half pound white standard sugar five
cents, favoring three cents. Total, 80
cents. This will give a little over quart
and l generally put the actual cost of a
quart at 80 cents, or $l.20 Jper gallon,
leaving a margin of 80 cents profit. The
fact is, no wholesale manufacturer can
produce pure ice cream at ST. gallon, and
therefore they have to put glue into it in
order to make big profit on their sales.
No honest confectioner will object to let
his customers know what he puts into
his ice cream, and when he does you can
always make up your mind that there is
something wrong.

A New Fuel.

An exhibition was given recently
in Jersey City of a new fuel comb
nation of petroleum and steam, and
the exhibition was of such satisfac-
tory nature that the results were pro-
nounced of an Importance not easily
exaggerated. Col. Rose of the Penn
sylvania railroad says a locomotive
can be run from New York to Phil
adelphia for 81 instead Of $25, as
now with coal. The Commercial
says that to produce the combination
nothing more is necessary than by
means of an atomizer to unite dry
steam and crude petroleum, only a
common inch pipe being required
for this purpose, one for steam and
the other for oil, with cocks, which
regulate the flow. A junction is
made within six inches Of a perfor-
ated brick retort, which the nozzle
enters and instantly, OH match be.
ing applied, the whole interior Of the
furnace becomes intensely heated, so
much so that all exposed surfaces
may be easily fused. If applied to
the steam boiler of locomotive or on
ship board it is only necessary to
place retorts made Of fire clay on the
CRATE bars, thus protecting the boiler
Plates from injury.

The Demand for Wool.

WOOL dTOWeTS 6uletlu.
The country does not grow enough
wool to supply her manufacturers,
and her manufacturers do not make
enough goods to clothe her people.
In order to make up the deficiency,
we must import both wool and
goods. The amount of wool we
need each year is variously estima-
ted from 5O,000,O00 to 100000, 900.
The worst bears Of the market do
not claim over 10000, GOO of foreign
wool now in the country, and these
same parties say there is about the
usual supply of domestic wool in the
Eastern cities, while some say it is
much smaller than usual, and it is
notorious that the countryside sin.
terior''-has not been barer Of wool
for many years, if ever before, since
wool was grown in this country. We
believe we have made a statement OF
facts which would lead us to the
conclusion that our supply would be
short unless We imported more WOOL
but the foreign markets are firm, and
prices so high as to prevent any
further importations of wool. In
fact, the worlds WOO! crop promises
to be short, while more machinery is
running than at any time during its
history. What does this signify
simply that wool should command
good prices, unless everything goes
to the dogs.

NEWS AT LAST.

After We had got the GAZETTE to
press late this (1'hursday) evening,
the train arrived, bringing our long
delayed mails, including St. Paul pa
pers up to the morning of the 18th,
just twelve days later than anything
previously received here. We were
also fortunate in receiving the inside
pages of our paper, in which will be
found an interesting summary of the
news for the week ending Feb. 18th.
We have only time and space to
briefly mention some Of the more
important matters of news, chief OF
which is the disasters by floods in
the East and South, and snow block.
AIDES IN the West.
At Washington, on the 18th, the
Potomac was on big boom, the ice
jamming below the city, causing the
water to back up and flood many Of
the streets, and is said to have been
nearly yard deep on Pennsylvania
avenue.
At various points throughout the
Middle and Eastern States the dam
age by floods has been enormous.
The city Of Toledo was inundated,
the water being several feet higher
than for many years.
Great floods are also reported in
the upper Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers, and fears are entertained for
the safety of the wood-choppers along
those treacherous streams.
The accounts of blockaded rail
roads in the West arc numerous and
widespread, not being confined to
Minnesota and Wisconsin, but even
in Kansas trains were suspended on
account of heavy snow. In southern
Kansas the snow was fifteen inches
deep.
A train with twenty passengers on
board, on the Minneapolis & Omaha
line, has been snow-bound at Noun
tain Lake since Feb. LIST.
A Montevideo dispatch of Feb.
18th reports roads impossible for
teams in that section, but mentions
no cases of suffering. They had re-
ceived no mails for eighteen days.

A stranger walked into the United
States Senate the other day and took
a seat among the distinguished dead,
of which that body is composed.
The impression of everybody who saw
the man was that he was insane, and
the sergeant-at-arms was abont to
eject him, when he arose and explain
ed that his name was Sharon and
that he was from Nevada. Being in
the East on business, and having a
few hours to spare, he thought he
would drop in and zee what the Sen.
ate was doing. He hoped that nc
offense would be taken. As soon az
the strange gentleman was identified
rs being the Senator from Nevada he
was surrounded on all sides and con
graduated. The Senators seemed tt
think at first that it was Charlie Ross
or the forger Of the Morey letter.

A Washinpton snecial to the Min


A Washington special to the Min
neapolis Tribune of Feb. I'd says:
Blaine's recent speech in favor of
subsidies to our struggling merchant
marine has created a sensation. 1t is
well known here that one of his chief
objects in entering the cabinet of
President Garfield is to built up our
shipping interests without endanger
ing the protective system, as Beck's
idea of free ships might do. He viii
make this the chief eatue of his pol
icy, and it is quite probable that TIE
control of commerce viii be largely
transferred from the treasusy to the
state dcpartmrnt. As he doubtlessly
voiced the opinions of President
Garfield, Blaine speech is regarded
by the protectionists as marking an
epoch Of broader craftsmanship.

The snow storm which visited this
section on the night of the 30th ult.
extended all over the country. The
eastern roads we're generally more
or less blockaded, and travel and
transportation was suspended or Sc
riously impeded on many lines. At
Baltimore the storm was of twenty.
four hours duration. A New York
dispatch of Feb. LIST reported the
most severe storm of the season az
then prevailing.

Great Floods on the Pacific Coast.


SAN Francisco, Feb. 2.-The
food on the Sacramento river culmi-
mated this morning at SACRAMENTO,
the water being within foot and a
half of the top of the levees at that
city. The levee below that broke,
and the country overlooked. The
town of Washington, opposite Sacra-
mento, was inundated. The damage
reaches an enormous sum. The en-
tire Sacramento valley presents the
appearance of an inland sea. Num-
berless houses have been swept away,
hut fortunately the loss of life so far
rs reported is very small. The hills,
high grounds and levees in the over
flowed districts are covered with live
stock, and there is a great demand
for boats to save cattle, sheep, ETC.,
remaining, as great number have
been drowned. 1t is raining on the
Sierra Nevadas from Plumas to CAL
averas counties, and should the rain
extend high up in the mountains an
other food is probable. Should it
come on top of the already immense
body of water in the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys, there is no tell
ing where the iuundation would end
or the destruction of property stop,
as the water now reaches places that
were never overlooked before.
CARSON, New, Feb. AT $3.50
this afternoon the dam of the Frank
town reservoir burst. The reservoir
was one mile long, three-quarters Of
mile wide and fifty feet deep. A
few hours before the bursting the
people of Franktown moved their
household effects. The Virginia &
Truckee Railroad, apprehensive Of
danger, tapped the dam, and were
drawing the water off when it broke
and went all at once. A dozen men
were swept into the current and es
capped by being cast up the side of a
ravine. No lives lost. The water
at the narrow portion of the rayinet
was one hundred feet high. When
the town was reached the houses
