a Romantic I..fc.

Jean Baptiste Charles Alphonsc Cayron
du Gayle, son ofth Count Cayron du
Gayle, for many year the governor of the
Hotel dcs Invalldcs, Paris, recently, died
at his residence, No. 2,0G7 Fifth avenue,
New York. lie was the youngest and last
survivor Of nne sons all of whom were
killed or wounded in the service of France.
his lie was romance. Its prominent in
cidcnts were narrated recently by his
widow. lie was born at Paris, Oct. 18,
1928 AT five years of age he was placed
in the military school for officers, sons at
La Flcchc, near Lamont. Many men now
prominent in France were his fellow STU
dents. AT the age of eighteen he joined @
hussar regiment and remained in it for tv O
years. In l84S, after leaving ball, he
went with number OF companions to q
! revolutionary club. The '.Marsclaisc'
was suggested and the whole party was
arrested. Du Gayle was tried for
treason, but family influence saved him.
lie was then transferred to Africa, and
made lieutenant in a regiment OF Spahis.
lie was in several campaigns under Gen.
Ncgricr and st. Arnaud. -Four brothers
were in Africa with him. The other four
were already dead. At the outbreak of
the Crimcan war lie was ordered with his
regiment to Russia. He was at the CHARGE
at lnkerlhan and also at Balaklava, and was
badly wounded ut the battle of Alma. From
this wound he was always slightly
lame. lie was brevctLcd captain for gal.
lantry, and held the position Of ensign.
bearer to general (now Marshal MacSIahon.
Ills future seemed bright, when an unfort.
unate affair ruined ali his prospects There
was much political feeling among the OIL
GERS OF the French army, and the Orlcanists
and impcrlalisls were bitterly opposed to
each other. This resulted in series of
seven ducls, all on one day, and between
champions of the rival factions. -Four men
were Killed outright III these ducls. Du
Gayle was an Orlcanlst and Tough Rcncdc
Marncsca, who was SAID to be the illcglti-
mate son of Napoleon LII. Marncsca was
killed, and thon began Du Caylcs troubles.
Lis promotion was stopped, men were
Easscd over his head, and finally he was
forced to resign. lie returned TO Paris, and
as he had u fine bassO voice he studied
music at the conservatory for three years
and became pcnsionalrc Of tho opera.
lie was also basso in the original perform
ancc Of "rhe Bohemian Girl" Mt Koucn.
lie then went travelling in the East Indies
with an opera company, was away five
years, and accumulated u fortune, which
hc sent to France. On his return he landed
at Marscllcs and learned that he had lost
ali but 50, 900 francs by the failure of a
banking house. With this money he went
to Bucnos Ayres and started theatre. 1t
failed, and he went to New Orleans, where
he passed many unhappy years. He re-
turned to France in 1869, and came back
to this. city as basso. lie sang with the LESS
and Kellogg troupe, and many other com
panics.

AduIteratlOn in Food.

The adultoration Of our food, drink and
medicines, which 1t is now sought to pre-.
vent by National legislation, has already
attained a surpassing magnitude. Expert
cnce warrants the belief that if not cflici-
emily checked il will be much more cxtcn-
sive in the futnre than now. The work of
adulteration is one of growth. 1T begins
| in small way and ends nowhere, In cof-
fee, for example; a third Of a century ago
it was adutcratcd with chicory to the cx-
tent Of about two and half pouns to tho
hundred, From that point it grew IN few
| years to fully fifty per cent. Then the
chicory itself was subjected to adultcra-
ton and now it is not impossible to obtain
samples of So-calicd coffc &c which does not
contain more than twenty per cent of
the genuine article. Even the man who
buys his coffee in the berry is liable to re-
ceivo villainous admixturc of real ber-
rics with other stuff that has been moulded
into tho true shape but contains none of the
true material. Parties IN the trade re-
member when five per cent. of adultcra-
ltti08- in pepper was was about us much as was
considered safe; aid now the bogus
amounts, in the worst cases. to not far
from nj ienths OF The whole. And in
these, as well as Other cases 100 numerous
to mention, vilcr stuff Is now used as \ sub
slitu,c than people cared to employ at the
outset. There Is no limit to the fraud Yhcn
once it is started; o. at least the limit is
only reached in tho utter extinction on the
genuine article. Tljat limit has alrehdy
been touched in thd case Of not lew
drugs; it is nearly achcd in the manukc-
turc of artificial money: and sugar and tt-
ter are already far gdnc in the process sof
deterioration. Surely It is time to stop.
The greed which wouI d amass riches at TIC
risk of causing diseas1 and death to thoh:'
sands has had play cnaugh. 1t has become
a question of sclf-pres(rvation to the grcAt
mass of consumers. fhey must die ii tlAs
