Most excellent results are obtained at the Pine

Mrs. A. S. Quinton. President OF the Wom-

done much toward awaking public sentiment
in their behalf but much in the shape OF mis-

Indian agents and money for schools from the

Boston's New Boulevard.

The park scheme adopted by Boston in
cludes what is known as the "Charles River
Embankment," regarded by many as the
most important of all the series OF improve
ments. as the plan not only contemplates
the abatement of the nuisance now existing
on the fats of the river, but provides an es-
planade of considerable width along the
river bank. The Commissioners have Sc
cured the land necessary for the project and
the work of dredging has already begun. A
similar work is going on on the Cambridge
side of the river under the direction of the
Charles River Embankment Company. BY
the terms of its charter the company is to

Revolution in rHcxico.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. IA despatch
yesterday from Laredo to the News, says re-
port comes direct from Queretaro Mex, about
100 miles below Laredo, that Cortina was in
the latter place last Tuesday with
800 revolutlonists. From reliable reports it is
probable that the northern states Of Mexico
will be in O state of revolution before the year
is out The complaint seems to be against the
manifest usnrpation OF power by the general
government at the city of Mexico. Only n few
days ago the mayor and city council of New
Laredo were fined in large sum because Of
their removal of city officers against the wish
es OF She government.

Adulteration of Food and Wine

Nearly three years ago Paris established
chemical laboratory for the examination
of food, drink and medicine offered for sale.
Monthly reports of analyses have since ap-
peared unsl last spring, when they suddenly
ceased. The charge is made that this action
of the project of police was due to the influ-
ence and perhaps money of the wholesale
wine merchants, who did not relish the sys-
tematic publication of their liquor secrets.
Both the establishment and suppression of
this laboratory is proof positive of the whole
sale adulteration of wines in France and
their Importation to this country. The re-
suit of the first years laboratory work were
quite astonishing. Out of 1851 specimens
of wines submitted to analysis, only 357
were pronounced good. OF the remainder
1908 were passable, 1700 bad bat harmless,
and POP dangerous. Thus 59.17 per cent of
the samples of wines sold in France proved
to be bad. The beer averaged better, only l
dangerous specimen appearing in IS an
alyses. As to cider out of 55 were danger
Gus. The users of French perfumeries may
be interested to learn that out of 700 speci-
mems 207 were condemned as injurious to
public health
