DISQUALIFICATION OF FOOD

Article has attracted the attention
Of the syndicate of merchants in
Berlin, which, at recent meeting,
unanimously resolved, first, that.
immediate steps be taken to have
the reports of the public laboratory
concerning the examination of
Berlin beer published, together with
the name of the vendors in such
cases where the law prescribes it,
or in which in the interest of the
public hygiene it be deemed re-
quisite; second, that the samples
be not only taken from the inter-
mediate dealers, but directly from
the respective breweries, and, third,
that the petition in question be also
extended to all 6her articles of
food. In this connection laudahle
movement may be mentioned, which
is now being agitated in Zurich and
which finds much encouragement in
Germany also, namely, the petition
for regulation giving every pur-
chaser the right to demand of the
sellers of fabrics of wool, half-wool
or artificial wool, to state distinctly
in their bills the nature of the tissues
SOLO, so that, in cases of fraud, the
purchaser may have the same legal
redress as in those of milk and wine
adulterations.-.S. r. Chronicle.

OCEAN STEAM ERS.

Despite recent untoward accidents
this last year has been one OF great
activity and prosperity in the ocean
trading between England and the
New World. The profits returned
by the great fast steamers on the
various North Atlantic lines have
been immense. Each ship has often
cleared 100000 in a voyage. Such
returns are, however, necessary, con-
sidering the enormous first outlay ON
these big ships. The case of the ill
fated City of Brussels may be in
stanced, which has just been sunk
after collision, and for which the
owners claim an indemnity of
100000. Indeed, the price is so
high that private firms can no longer
afford to own such colossal steamers,
and they belong generally to syn
dictate of wealthy men, bankers,
brokers and members of largo houses.
The amount of capital sunk is not
more than that which is always
forthcoming. The talk of the pres.
ent season is the building of a new
steamer for ocean work, which is to
be of extraordinary size and speed,
and which will rival the Alaska as
the fastest ship afoat. This is the
Oregon, which is being built for the
Guion line. Her horse power is to
be $4,000 and her furnaces some
thing tremendous. Her daily con-
sumption of coal is estimated at BOO
tons. The task of stoking up will
be a great one, seeing that the
Oregon will burn 800 tons a day
but it will be overcome.-Melbou1ya,
Leader.

YANKEE WIT.

Many years ago Pittsburgh iron
firm purchased lot of condemned
bombshells for old iron. The shells
were not loaded, but in order to
melt them it was necessary that they
should be broken up. This was at
tempted with sledge hammers, but
the laborers made but little progress
and it was finally given up as bad
Job. One day a long, slim Yankee
came along and said:

that pile of bombs out there broken"
elbow much will you pay%
eve will give you flip apiece
(six ard a quarter cents) if you will
agree TO break them ALL"
"I'll take the contract" answered
the Yankee. The day was a cold
one, and the thermometer down to
zero. The man Immediately went
to work, but disdained to take the
large sledge hammer which was
offered him. The Yankee laid every
bomb out on the ground with the
hole up. He procured bucket
filled them all with water; then he
came into the house, made out his
bill, and said he would cal, around
in the morning for the money.
Every one was much mystiiied, but
in the morning their establishment
was great. The water had frozen
during the night, and in the morn
ing a pile of scrap iron was found
as the freezing water had broken
every bomb into at least a dozen
pieces.-Detroit Free Press.

The TOOthache.

A man with a full and carefullv-se-
lected stock of toothache on hand is
like that unpopular individual described
by Shakespeare, who hath no music in
his soul and is fit for riots, ructions,
dynamite plots, red-handed conspiracies
and war. He is a bad man from Bitter
Creek, terror TO the household, and
ready to kick pet dog clear across the
front yard, or drown a cat. Still there
is nameless charm about well-de
veloped case of the toothache. The
reason it is nameless is because we dis
like to throw red-hot profanity into cold
type. 1t is not relished by the great
and seething tide of humanity to whom
these stainless pages come like a sooth-
ing balm-a benson of peace. We
could say things about the toothache
which would crack crockery and dry up
the Colorado river.
But in spite of this there is consider
able toothache humor floating around
the country. AS long ago as 1850, a
man struggling with the toothache
went to a young and enthusiastic dent
lst, who was trying to establish himself
in practice. This was before the days
of laughing-gas, and the journeyman
snag-snatcher put his tongs onto the
jumping tooth, gave it twist, and
said:
Does it feel any better? I've got it
half way out"
Another old manipulation of the hi
cuspids and molars crept up on tip-toe
to his shivering victim, and, in an oily
tone, desired him TO fix his mind on
something else while he extracted the
tooth.
\ close-fisted chap from one of the
back counties, whose election returns
are so slow coming into headquarters
that they seldom make any material
difference in the result, once walked
into the Office of "A city dentist and said
he guessed he'd have tooth out, just
for change. The sllillful artist COM
menced careful reconnaissance, and
while the patient was bracing himself
for the first round, the dentist whipped
the tooth out into the washbowl as
slick as you please and as painless as
eating strawberry shortcake
What did you do that for?" inquired
the patient
do what?'
why didn't yo rassel with me?"
Il never rassel,' quietly replied the
artist
What's the damage?"
1.-TWO dollars"
Two dollars Gosh all hemlock,
man! Why, down in our town our
home dentist pulled me all around the
room for half hour or so, and he only
charged me four bits. You didn't earn
no ~.
There is no end Of humor connected
with the toothache, but space torbids
further attention to its extremely ludi-
crous character. The only sure cure for
the toothache which occurs TO us just
now is to have your teeth fixed SO that
you can put them to sleep at night in a
glass of cold water-TerdS SJtjngS

MUcH was expected from the dis
covery made by Prof. Boil that the
images of the objects remain on the re-
tina of animals after death. 1t was
thought, for example, that the last
scene of mysterious murder would be
found by properly examining the eyes
Of the victim. Actual tests have shown
that the optogram can be of no use in
detecting crime. DIR. Ayers made more
than thousand experiments in the
laboratory of Prof. Kuhne, at
Heidelberg, and met with poor success.
The best result was obtained by expos
ing the eye of a living rabbit which
had been dosed with atropine, to n
Photographic negative, and even in
this case the ontogram was imperfect,
indistnct and evanescent.
