horrible crime have been remarkably successful

were found in a stable in Dublin used by man

The audience in attendance at the game
Wednesday between the Abbolts of De.
troit and the OwOsso team was treated to a
fine exhibition of ball playing. Although
both clubs made serious errors ut critical
times, yet taken as whole the game was
exceedingly interesting and at the close
very exciting. The playing of the short
stop of the Abbotts and the brilliant
double play of Hutchins and Murphy
were the prominent features of the game.
The Abbotts played well together and
showed that they possessed II full under
standing of the game. The Owosso boys
handled the bat with more skill than in
any previous game, and with few excep-
tons played n strong game in both the in
and out field. We can only give the num-
Der of runs and outs made by the players.

Adulteration of Butter.

There is an adulteration attributed to
the butter dealers, which is the mixture
of powdered soapstone, to increase its
weight, says the Microscopical Journal.
1t has been charged that about six
pounds of finely-powdered soapstone can
be mixed with fifty pounds of butter
without its presence being perceptble
to the taste-indeed, it is claimed that
this unpalatable soapstone powder FUSED
for foundry facings) has neither taste
nor smell, andpcannot be detected b /,
user-and direct experiment has vel med
the assertion.
With the microscope, however, such
an adulteration (being twelve per cent?
is readily detected, rs the soapstone
powder is coarser than the granularmat-
ter of the butter, and by melting some
of the suspected butter in test-tube
and examining the sediment, if soap
stone is present it will at once be de-
tected. l have not found this adultera-
ton myself in butter sold by any retail
err, and, if practised at all, it is probably
in butter packed for shipment abroad.
Truly, if butter can be made half (and
often two-thirds) of lard, and then
twelve per cent. of soapstone added,
without the ordinary consumer being
able to detect it, the outlook for those
who are particular about their eating is
not encouraging. win the skilled adult
teratcr succeed when he tries his prac-
tised hands on eggs?
