How to Detect AduIterated Coffee.

Ground coffee affords field for adul-
iteration, and for this purpose chicory
carrots. caramel, date seeds, etc., are
the substances most commonly used.
Take little of the coffee and press it
between the fingers, or give it squeeze
in the paper in which it is bought; if
genuine it will not form coherent mass,
as coffee grains are hard and do not
readily adhere to each other; but if the
grains stick to each other and form a
sort of "cake," we may be pretty sure
of adulteration in the shape of chicory,
for the grains of chicory are softer and
more open, and adhere without Difficult
ty when squeezed.
Again, if we place few grains in a
saucer and moisten them with little
cold water, chicory will very quickly be-
come soft like bread-crumbs, while
coffee will take long time to soften.
A third test take wine glass or a
tumbler full of water and gently drop a
pinch of ground coffee on the surface
of the water without stirring or agitat-
ing; genuine coffee will float for some
time, while chicory or any other soft
root will soon sink, and chicory or cara
mel will cause yellowish or brownish
color to diffuse rapidly through the
water, while pure coffee will give no
sensible tint under such circumstances
for a considerable length of time.
Coffee mixtures" or "coffee improv-
ers" should be avoided. They seldom
consist of anything but chicory and
caramel. -lSanitdridn.

A PARTY of six Americans were attacked by
a body of Mexicans near Tombstone, Arizona,
and four of them were killed and one seriously
wounded, the sixth man making his escape
amid shower of bullets. A Tombstone paper
says of the affair: "The immediate cause of
the killing is as follows: Aparty of Rustlers,'
as they are called, went into Mexico last month
and stole some cattle. They were followed by
Mexicans, who got so close upon them that
they were obliged to abandon the stock. This
WAS at point in the vicinity of the late muir
der. The Mexicans took the stock and started
back home, picking up such cattle and horses
as they CHANGED to meet. The stock was
missed, and party of sixteen Americans
started in pursuit, overlook the Mexicans, had
a fight with them and retook the stock This
occurred during the latter part of July. 1t is
probable that the recent raiders were some of
the same party defeated last month. Great
excitement prevails in Tombstone and vicini-
ty. A large party has been raised to avenge
the murderers. The Clinton boys, whose
father was among the slain, have also raised
body of men, numbering altogether over 200,
and as desperate gang as could be imagined.

Dangerous Inactivity.

Inactlvlty OF inc KIdneys SERIOUSLY and pfONl-
mately jeopardizes their health. When inactive
they need a stimulant. The fiery excitants OF
commerce only serve to irritate them, but they
may be safely stimulated with Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, the tonic principle Of which
serves to increase their vitality as well. The
diuretic properties of the Bitters also serve
another good purpose. 1t is by the efficient
action of the kidneys mainly that the blood is
depurated or purified. The Bitters, by giving
to their secretive and discharging functions a
bealthful impetus, serves as a purifier Of the
vital current, removing from it those impurities
which beget rheumatism, dropsy ami other
maIadies. 1t endows those organs with vigor
and prevents them from lapsing into q state

Autumn Sowing.

Most people have observed, no doubt,
that self-sown seeds-that is, seeds that
have dropped from the growing plants
of the previous season, sometimes pro-
duce the strongest and most healthy
plants, that bloom the most freely.
This is true of several kinds, and par
ticularly of those that suffer under ex-
posure to our midsummer suns. The
reason is that self-grown seeds get .
very healthy growth In the spring, veg
etating as soon as frost is gone, and are
good-sized plants at the time we usual

do not start In the {all. They thus ma

CouPs show. A countryman came to
the show with pet bear, and while in q
maudlin condition was showing the lit
tie animal around. Several canvasmen,
shouting drunk on vile whisky, seized
the countryman and wrested his bear
from him. He swore vengeance against
them, and, having collected q number
OF drunken friends from the rural dis
tricts, repaired to the train upon which
the animals were being loaded, and at
tackled the circus men. The row soon
became general, more than one hmm
dred shots having been fired. The Mar
snal OF the town interfered and was
promptly shot down, but not danger
ousiy hurt. A white man received q
painful wound in the neck, while negro
man, who was standing about one hun
dred yards from the battle-ground, and
taking no part in the riot, was shot
through the head with q wandering bull
let and instantly killed. While the fight
was at its fiercest q lion and bear es-
capped from their cages. The lion pur-
sued the bear about 8 nile and MUIR
dered him in cold blood. The battle

1t seems that for some time past
there has been extensively employed
throughout Germany peculiar fluid
substance, which has received the name
OF carbolineum, and which, being almost
as fluid as water, is very readily applied
not alone to woodwork, but to hempen
goods generally. Its peculiar recon-
mendation is due to the fact that IL
forms an excellent preventative agent for
articles liable to contact with damp soil,
or for such as are purposely destined for
prolonged immersion in water-for ex-
ample, wooden piles and the meshwork
OF fishing-nets. The new preservative
is an oil, apparently of the petroleum
class, and has been found to contain,
among other compounds, about ten per
cent. Of carbolic acid. One peculiar
feature possessed by it is that, while it
freely sinks into wood exposed to its ac-
ton, and which it materially hardens. it
does not close up the pores.
