Pickles and Mustard.

The tremendous proportions, the
brazQn audacity and the dangerous
success of the oleomargarine fraud
have almost hidden from view some
of the lesser frauds that, like satelli
ties revolve around it; but there may
be now some reason to hope that hav-
ing struck a telling blow at the
greater evil, our legislators and health
authorities Will succeed also IN eX-
terminating some Of the smaller evils.
It is known that mustard is adulter-
atcd, not only with flour, which is
comparatively harmless, but with
actively poisonous substances which
give it a greater than natural pun
geucy. Yesterday another fraud was
exposed before the board of health.
Samples OF bright green pickles, of
five different brands, have oaen ana
lyzed by the department chemist, and
it was found that the samples contain
ed from three to seven parts in 100, 600
of metallic copper The pickles them
selves, however, contained a much
larger proportion Of copper than the
liquor surrounding them-a point
housekeepers will do we'll to make a
note of This is not a fatal quantity
Of the metal, but most people pre- ar
to take their copper straight, - #
they wish to indulge in that sub
stance as am article of food, and not
in the form Of pickle-coloring. Pru-
dent buyers should distrust bright
green pickles as much as the do deep
yellow or orange -colored butter.
Both are useful for purposes of orna-
mcntation, no doubt, but their EN-
ployment as food is not TO be unhesl-
taunglv endorsed

Looking for Cash.
London Truth

It's a Curious statistical fact that
173 marriages were advertised in The
Times in the seven days preceding
April 81, and out of this number
eighty brides were fatherless This,
/ presume, means that bride-grooms
are looking more and more to the
main chance, and only marry girls
who have cash in hand. Prospects,
nowadays, are notconsidered enough
Mothers in-law have long been at q
discount, but it would seem that
young men have now come 70 the
conclusion that ready cash is better
asset than a sather-in-law.

A Dead Japanese Prince.

A Dead japanese Prince.
DEATH OF LITTLE Alexis sAIG0 THIS MoRNINa-A
PRINCE WHO FOLLOWED HIS PLAYFKLLows AROUND
THE WORLD.
Alexis Saigo, the little japanese prince, who has
been a member OF the household OF the Russian
minister for several years, died this morning from
typhoid fever at the residence OF Baron De Struve,
on street, corner OF Connecticut avenue. The
prince, who was only eleven years Old, had been
sick for nearly month, but his illness
took an alarming turn only recently
and nephew OF Col Oyana, the japanese minister
OF war, who Is at present visiting this city. The
latter official spent nearl the whole OF last night
at the bedside Of his little relative. He Will take
back In few days to Japan, when his military
researches, which are the cause Of his visit here
are concluded. The body has been embalmed, and
Will be placed In vault temporarily Funeral
services will be read this afternoon at four O'Clock
by the Rev. DR.. Leonard, OF ST. Johns church.
The little prince has always b en- treated by the
Russian minister and his wife as one OF their
family, and bis death Is a severe blow to them
When Baron de Struve represented Russia in Japan,
the little prince became the playfelow OF his chill
dren, and grew so much attached to them that
when Baron de Strive returned to Russia, he
begged to be taken with the family. He took a
refusal very much to heart, and refrained from eat
ing anything for some time. His parents finally
consented to allow him to depart with the minis
ter to be educated as one Of his children In Russia
he became interested in christianity, and he was
baptized with the consent OF his parents, the en-
press acting as his godmOther, and the Grand Duke
Alexis as his godfather. When Baron de strive
was sent as minister to the United States the
prince accompanied him, and while here had
always been regarded as one OF his family, and had
large circle OF friends. His father was informed
some time ago OF his failing health. but decided not
to have him sent home just yet, thinking that he
would improve, and expecting to meet him in Rus

The H amt for Office.

From the Philadelp hia Times
Washington dispatches indicate that the meet
Ing OF Congress has drawn to the capital many
people who are in search of offices under the
incoming democratic President. Among these
are men who seek positions in the cabinet.
They must have strangely deformed notion of
the fitness Of things. They must also have a
very limited knowledge of Presto ent-elect Cleve-
lands character. Personal electioneering at
Washington during the three months before the
next President will be inaugurated will hardly
do much to commend any man for place it
will in most instances prove a ready means of
showing how entirely unfit the applicant is for
any position with dignifed and business-lke
administration. The public has been made
heartily sick of that kind of thing in the past.
1t is quite certain to meet with much discourage
ment in the future. 1t is too early for people
in Washington or anywhere else to know what
President Cleveland will do. There are some
things however, which 1t is certain he will not
do. 1t is clear already that the merely self
seeking politician will have small chance under
the new administration. The country has been
long enough under the direct political influence
1t has invited and will cordially welcome BUSH
ness administration. President Cleveland is
pretty certain to want around him men who
have an idea beyond serving themselves. The
place-hunter is not of this kind. and the place
hunter will easily find this out when it is too
late to save his feelings.
