Poison in tho Ton0np.

Among the many articles OF common
family use that have become the subjects
of cheap adulteration there is probably no
ono moro conspicuous than tea. Poor and
cheap teas are flavo red and colored to re-
semble, in faint degree, those of better
grade, while teas that have been once used
and their strength entirely extracted arc
redried, recolored by the use of copperas
and Prussian blue, aud by the aid Of q
slight admixture OF genuine tea are palmed
of on an unsuspecting public.
The fraud OF selling tea that ls entirely
worthless is bad enough, but whom SUI
f1cent Of poisoa is added to tho tastelcss
decoction to irritate and Injure the stomach
the evil becomes Of sufficient magnitude to
call for preventive measures OF q vigorous
kind. just how this can be best accom-
plishcd Is somewhat uncertain. Reliable
dealers of course refuse to handle the
| fraudulent and poisonous stuff. But ras.
| cally dealers in the adultoratcd goods es-
tablish agencies, employ canvassers to 60
from house to house, and as they can af-
ford to sell these worthless goods cheaper
than the family grocer can sell an honest
| article, they manage to deceive Ignorant
and well.meaning people and work of the
POISONOUS and spurious goods IN large
quantities.
Several States, Pennsylvania included,
| have stringent laws against the sale OF adul.
terated articles OF food and drink, but the
laws fail to provide practical methods for
detecting these authorizations and arc thus
insufficient. Congress- passed an act at Its
last session 10 prevent the importation OF
adulterated and spurious teas and, as all
| teas arc imported, II tho inspectors are
efficient and watchful the evil should be
checked 80 far as new importatlons OF the
worthless stuff is concerned. There is,
however, q vast stock OF the doctored herb
already IN this country and there are firms
which follow the business OF adulteratlon
IN some OF our own cities. Against these
two sources Of supply the public must still
continue to guard itself. The best method
Of doing this at present is not to be too
anxious to get cheap teas and to be sure
that the tea dealer Of whom the family
purchases are made not only Is honest, but
knows what real tea is when he sees It,

A REVERIE.

Ah me, It's not SO long ago
Since first fondly hoped, and so
All pleasures grew, and, with each throns
Game strains OF summers sweetest song,
And darkness foil, scarce seen by me,
And, though unknown, strove to be
30 wise and good that men might say:
"Around his brow dwells constant day"
But now daily older grow,
And sadder, too, they tell me. so
watch tho shadows 'mong the trees,
And hear the sigh In evenings breeze;
And weep tnat wisdom is far of,
And grieve that men at goodness scott,
And think, perhaps, the night may be
Less dark than is each day to me.
Aud so, in sadness, still wait,
For soon know, or maybe late,
The gates Will open wide for me,
And shall journey toward tho sea,
Whose breakers roar in every ear;
Whose moaning song ne'cr shall fear,
Whose saddest music oft has walked
The mem'ry of a thirst unslaked.

Fear OF the Dentist.

Ten thousand dentists, whose thriving
business attcsts badness of American
teeth, meet with amusing adventures
when they encounter those who arc suf-
fqring from what Burns calls the 'tgrlin,
Notwithstanding chiel" that makes imam
kind oft dance a reel" A reporter
describes some Of these experiences, as
they were described to him by several
dentists.
"We encounter more that Is ridicu-
lous In tho extraction Of teeth than In
any other branch Of the profession, said

"Why, l have had great strong men
come into my Office with the intention OF

the lawyer spoke up and said, 4 am gong
to faint and he did.
''Nevcrthcless. the tooth was extracted,
and the loss of blood bringing him to
