An Incident OF the Late Fire,

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 20, 1882.
Smashing through the debris,
over the burning wood,
On mid the smoke and the smother
There where a cradle stood;
While Its tiny occupant trembling
Lay between life and death,
UnnOticed amid the glare and the din,
Famed by demons BREATH
And mothers heart was walling
A prayer 10 the God above
For her darling's veal, in the pltiful tones
That thrill forth mothers love.
II was but the work Of a minute
Only the test Of the man
And the mother received her child again
And never hurt could she sean.
And the hero passed from her presence
Unmarked I'm the tumut Wild,
With reward that was greater than mOrtll's-
lie had saved the life Of a chid

Tho Adultcration OF SirupS.

While glucose il largely used to adul-
icratc sugars, it is much more largely
used to adulterate sirups; in fact it is
getting to be rather unusual to find
samples of honey or slrllps entirely free
from glucose. Prof. Kcdzic, of Michi.
gan, made number of examinations of
>irups on sale in Michigan, and found
in one case sulphatc of iron (cOppcras)
and one hundred and seven grains Of
lime per gallon, which came from the
improperly prepared glucose present.
In another, made entirely Of starch su-
gar, he found coppcras and two hundred
and seven grains of lime; in another,
one hundred grains of lime; in another,
sevcnty-one q aims of free sulphu:ic acid.
twenty eight grains OF coppcras, and
three hundred and sixty-thrcc grains of
lime; in another, one hundred and
forty-two grains of free sulphuric acid,
twenty-five grains of copperaS, and sew
en- hundred and twenly.four grains of
lime; in another, eighty grains of iron
and two hundred grains of lime One
pound of cane sugar has more swcctcn-
ing power than two pounds and half
OF glucose, so that the reader can readily
see the effect of this aduteration, even
II we consider it harmless. For a test
of iron or copperas in sirup, it should
be boiled with decoction Of strong tea.
II iron is present the solution will turn
black. The lime may be recognized in
the sirup by adding to it little oxalic
acid; if lime is present white cloudi-
ness will appear in the sirup after it has
been shaken up with the oxalic acid.
The best way to make the test, however,
is to place in glass two or three spoon
fuls Of strip, fill it up with pure water
freshly caught rain water is the best
and add couple of spoonfuls of a solu.
ton of oxalic acid. (The solution of
oxalic acid is very poisonous; it should
be carefully labeled and kept under lock
and key.) Tin is also occasionally
found in sirups. Prof. Ledour, IN Chris
tan Union.
