The French authorities have decid-
ed that the use of salicylic acid for pre-
serving food and drink is prejudcial to
health, and have forbidden the sale of
articles So preserved. The use of this
substance has become quite extensive,
especially in wine, syrups, beer and
milk. The danger lies in the fact that
in order that the preservative effect
shall continue for any length of time,
the preservative agent must be added in
succe ssive doses till finally the accumu-
lated quantity becomes so large as to be
| inju ious. Good articles of food or
drink do not require it, and the inferior
articles which are preserved with its
aid are sold cheaply to the poor, and
they, as usual when the necessaries of
life are in any way fraudulently manipu-
| lated, are the chief sufferers by tn ope-
ration.

A Valet Who Knew His Business.

Lord Stratford's feeling Of loyalty
was as profound as that of sincere be-
lever in divine right must always be.
Every member of the royal family was
to him an object of unbounded defer
ence. When the Duke of Cambridge
was about to become his guest for a few
days at the Embassy he went in his
dressing-gown and slippers, at an early
hour in the morning, to see that the
rooms prepared for his Royal Highness
were in perfect order. Finding the
Dukes valet arranging the trunks and
portmanteaus which had arrived, the
Ambassador began to give him direc-
tons how they should be placed. The
man left off working and stared at Lord
Stratford. II will tell you, what it is,
he said at last. az know how his
Royal Highness likes to have his things
arranged better than you do. So you
just shut up-and be off. will you, old
feller?'' Lord Stratford left the room
in towering passion, and calling one
of the attaches, ordered him to 60 and
tell that man who it was that he had
ventured to address such language to.
The attache soon returned with spark
ling eyes. "Well, what did you say
to him ?" asked the Ambassador. II
said to him, my Lord, that the person
to whom he had ventured to address
such language was her Majesty's repre-
sentative in Turkey .'Ah. quite
right And what was his answerP'
He answered, my Lord, that he had
never said you warn't.' 1t was sim
gular feature in Lord Stratford's some
what hasty disposition that his anger
would suddenly be appeased by any
thing which. seemed to him ludicrous.
1t was so in this case, and he enjoyed a
hearty laugh with the ache.-Tsmple

How the Old Love Triumphed.

In the Nineteenth Ward lives a good and
honest citizen who is blessed, among other
things, with q family of four bright girls.
About six years ago one Of them was courted
by promising young man, the son of neigh
Dor. The young man was moderately suggest
i've in his attentions for about fou~ years.
Then he went West, and the courtship was
carried on by the slow and unsatisfactory me
dunn Of the mails. The parents of the maid
en- began to think that the young man who
went West was too slow and entirely indcfi-
mite. So match was arranged between the
neglected lass and well-to-do merchant Of
Moosic. Under his courtship affairs pro-
gressed swimmingly, and last Wednesday was
arranged for the wedding, the trousseau was
purchased, the arrangements all made, and
tie prospects of happy time were de-
lightfully imminent. Moreover the Moosic
young man had secured a home for his expect
ant bride, and had it nicely furnished. Mean
time, the lover in the West was apprised of
the condition of things here, and hurried to
Scranton. He saw the young lady, and SO
ardently did he press his suit upon the basis
of prior claim that he induced her to become
his bride, and they were wed at the house of .
relative of the groom. Next day the Moosic
young man came on to claim his bride, and
learned to his great chagrin that she was an
others. Justly indignant at this treatment,
he reproached the father. The father, Of
course, was cold comforter, but, pointing to
his three remaining daughters, who sat in the
ROOM he said: "There are three others of my
daughters; you can take your pick. This is
the best can do" The Moosic young man
saw the force of his prospective father-in-law's
remark, and, taking him at his word, selected
the youngest of the three, and they were wed.
