AdulteratiOn OF Food.

The prevalence of paralysis has caused
considerable comment in our city. Three
or four prominent citizens have died re-
Gently from paralysis in one form or an
other. A gentleman well posted on this
subject called our attention to this few
days since and remarked that paralysis
resulted in many cases from the use of
adulterated food. This gentleman re-
marked that large quantity of the flour,
sirup, lard, sugar and coffee now used
daily was adulterated, and that nearly
all the candy made. except rock candy,
was also adulterated If this be true the
prevalence of paralysis can be easily ac-
counted for We do not vouch for what
the gentleman says, but it is subject
that will do to investigate. One thing
we do know to be true, and that is that
something causes the disease, and if
leading articles of food are adulterated,
1T can be very easily traced to that source.
A leading physician, to whose attention
this matter has been brought, says that
he had no doubt whatever that the prev
alence of paralysis now could be traced
to the use of adulterated food. 1t is an
injury or disease, he says, of the nervous
centers, and acts on human being Just
as the use of impure and worthless lu-
bricating oil does on machinery. 1t
clogs up the system and the longer it is
used the more certain it is to finally rem
der the machinery utterly useless. 1t
would be well for our Legislature to take
some steps to look into this adulteration
of food. If it is carried on to one-tenth
the extent intimated above, it should be
prevented by penal laws at once 1t is a
subject that consumers should carefully
inspect, and in every instance where
there Is aduteration of any kind to turn
their forces against it.-AHantG Coasti

ished striking illustration. An un-

the overflow of full heart; aud when

The Dangerous Diary.

The conscientious journalist is so often
compelled to condemn departments of
trade, which appear on the surface en-
tirely reputable and proper and the duty
is SO unpleasant. that he naturally
shrinks from every new requirement of
that character. But when the obliga-
tion stares him Enthusiastically in the face
it cannot be evaded.
There is the diary business, for exam
pie. On its face it is not only harmless
but exceedingly useful. TO the unre-
flecting mind il is simply the business of
furnishing the people with the means of
noting, methodically and accurately. the
flight of time and the memorable Incl
dents that mark it. To such it would
seem as ii the makers and publishers
were public benefactors, instilling prin-
ciples of order and incucating lessons of
prudence and economy. And there is
some foundation for this theory. When
the child uses the little volume to mark
the daily expenditure for tahy or mar
bles or corn balls; when the careful
housewife checks her butcher and grocer
and milk-man by the entries therein,
and utilizes the remaining space to
record such facts as sit showed

or when the youth fast verging into
manhood records upon the earlier
OF its pure pages his glowing resolutions,
leaving the latter pages blank to show
what came OF those resolutions then the
diary is useful and instructive work.
But alas! il is not confined to such
beautiful and noble uses. On the con-
trary 1T is an incessant temptation, in
the hands OF the great mass, to indiscre-
ton, not to say wrong. And for this it
must be ruthlessly condemned in spite
of its innocuousness in the hands of the
few.
Not one person in fifty, probably, can
look upon piece of blank paper with
out strong temptation TO mark on it.
Rule the piece of paper, print neat
date at the top and bind it up with other
pieces similarly treated-in short, make
diary OF it-and the temptation be

blank for january TO-" or " Septem

cially IL it is u lady, as most diary-own

The Printer.

The printer, children, is a patron OF
the art preservatiye of oil arts, but he
frequently has the art Of getting poor
writer into pickle.
The printer sets while standing and
stands while setting.
The printer is not usually wealthy
person, but generally has quoin or two
about him.
He sometimes does very poor work,
but all his work, good or bad, is iustili-
able.
The printer does not often carry q
cane, but you will almost always find
him with stick in his hand. Some
times he is stick himself.
The printer is a matcrialist. All his
thoughts are upon matter.
Most men like TO have things come out
square nj the end of each day, but the
printer hates 10 be obliged to bring his
work out even. This sounds odd, but it
is even so.
Though correcting his errors every
growing worse.
Though perfect Jack Spratt in his
fondness for lean meat, the printer never
objects TO fat
lie is often profound reader, but al
ways dislikes solid matter.
The printer is like the actor in the fact
that he hates TO see beggarly array of
empty boxes.
The printer may not be averse to po-
ctry, but he detests pi.
The good printer is known by his form.
So careful is he OF his form that he al
ways locks IL up.
Though not always correct, the print
er's work is invariably done by rule.
The printer is very inoffensive indi-
vidual, but is quite clever with the shoot
ing stick.
The printer is not satisfied with think
ing that his work is complete. He al
ways wants n proof of it.
The printeris your true man of letters,
though he may not be u literary man.
The printer is an upright man, but he
is frequently seen about the galleys.
The printer used to be very bashful
sort of fellow, but now that females are
employed in printing Offices he will set
up with a girl six evenings week.
The types Of the human race are scat
tered all over the earth, and the printer
distributes ms types IN all directions.
The printer is not necessarily sport
ing character, but his form may fire.
quently be seen in the chase.
The printer is often beside himself
That is to say, he frequently stands be-
side his frame.
Like the lawyer, the printer is depend
ent upon his cases for livelihood
When printer has finished his job,
he works it off.
He reckons his work by the token; by
this token may you know that he gives
you full measure
Much more might be said of the
printer, but this must do for to-day Let
us close by hoping that when he becomes
dead matter an imposing stone may be
erected to his memory.-BoSt0n Tran

AT the close of the Revolutionary
War the Maryland Legislature passed
law giving to the heirs of officers of the
Maryland line killed in battle fifty acres
of land, without patent, and it was pro-
vided that no taxes should be assessed
until the lands were transferred by the
heirs to other parties. Most of the
lands were located in what is now Gar
rett County, and were only valuable for
the timber growing upon them. The
heirs, being unable to sell, took no steps
to secure their titles, and it is alleged
that the present owners hold under
escheats issued upon false assertions
that there were no living heirs. The
rapid advance in the value of property
in Garrett County has called attention
to the titles of the present holders, and
wide field of litigation is in prospect.

Fun on q Bicycle.

Foreman Clark, railroader, and Thos
Gary, a timer, attempted To- run one OF
those wheelbarrow bicycles Oh the Narrow
Gauge track, recently. The vehicle had
been accustomed To- broad gauge track
and did not take kindly To the tow-path
method. Ii did considerable bucking and
rearing at first, but by d"cile treatment
was induced To finally start off in good
style. On approaching the tank, however
ii became fractions, and gathering It's
skirts about ii, jumped the track. threw Its
pair of riders down an embankment, and
hopping upon their PROSTATE forms, began
kicking and biting at them i'm n vicious
and cyclonic manner. When they emerged
from the wreck and began walking back
home, leaving the rig still kicking, it was
observed that Gary's new lavender pants
were Widowed and wrecked and that
Clark's clothing was badly chewed. So
completely were they stripped of garments
that they waited until darkness laid down
on the earth before they ven,ured into the
city.

Shot in the Thigh.

About midnight Friday night Billy
harrah, we'll known liz this city. had diff
fculty with Free London, an equally well
known sporting man, in which the ever
ready revolver was brought into use.
Harrah is interested in q faro room on
Ohio street, and London had been ''buck-
ing the tiger" coming out winner about
so. This provoked Harrsh, and was the
direct result of the difficulty. They came
down stairs, when London stepped out to
the sidewalk. Harrsh, however, took re-
fuge within the Senate saloon, and with
the door as shelter, placed his revolver on
she outside and fired, the ball taking effect
in London's right thigh.
Both were arrested, and Harrah put up
$50 for his appearance. In the police
court, yesterday, Hsrrah was fined $40 and
London $50.
London's wound was only slight, and he
vas on the streets yesterday afternoon.
Harrah claims that the shot was acci-
dental, but the story is discredited.

weeks ago they boarded with Mn Fewel,
irving at the new place, the husband paid
his wife's board in advance up 10 yester-
day. He remained i'm her company until
Monday, a week ago, during which time
he seemed very devoted and affectionate.
On that day he left the house, saving he
was going out To get bill changed, as he
had just been paid of by the railway COM
pany. That was the last time Mrs Wiles
beheld her liege lord.
As the time passed and he returned not.
and not a word was heard from him, she
became very uneasy, and is now almost
crazed with grief, a. she fears she has been
deserted.
A friend informed her that he saw Wiles
in Kansas City on Wednesday week, at
which time he expressed great solicituie
regarding his wife, saying he proposed
sending for her As soon as he procured d
position.
Yesterday the parents Of the young bride
took her from her boarding place to their
home, where she will await develoDments
Although nearly heart broken, she still
lives in hopes of hearing from the absent
