AduIteration of Drugs.

Considerable interest has been taken Of
late in several Northern cities in the sub
iect OF the adulteration Ofdrugs. It has for
several years been suspected that a large
portion Of the drugs sold in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia was adulterated
70 such an extent as to render them al
most worthless. Investigations estab-
lished the fact Of extensive adulteratiOn,
and great Indignation was expressed
thereat. especially by physicians whose
prescriptions had so often failed TO have
the desired effect, so that their reputa-
tons suffered very materially.
There Is nodoubt that adulterated drugs
are sold in almost every part Of the coun-
try. New York, Philadelphia and Boston
are the centres Of the drug trade, and
from them nearly all the leading houses
in the Union obtain their stocks. In these
cities there are no proper safeguards
against the evil complained Of. tits more
than probable that many retail druggists
sell aduIterated drugs, or those that have
lost a great portion OF their virtues
through age. innOcently.
While in most if not all the States only
competent licensed pharmacists are al
lowed to deal in drugs, the difficulties in
the way Of detecting adulteration in
many kinds Of drugs can only be over
come by skillfuI analytical chemists.
Every city in which drugs are sold at
wholesale should have a local board re-
Quired by law 10 analyze all drugs on
sale, and severe penalties should
be visited on dealers who know
ingIy put adulterated or inferior
goods on the markets. 1t is stated that
in Philadelphia, even whenit became pub
licly known that poor preparation Of Gin
ehona instead Of quinine of suitable quail
ity had been furnished the hospitals the
courts took no notice OF the complaints.
1t might be well for druggists and physi-
clans to avoid Philadelphia when replen-
ishing their stocks, or at least to deal
only with firms Of undOubted honesty.
II no legal punishment can be inflicted
snide establishments can be exposed and
bOvc0tted.

RARE ORCHIDS IN BL9 I

Flowers That Look Like FIuttering
Butterflies as They Float in the Air.
Orchids are being imported in large
quantities from Trinidad, says the New
York Evening Post. These lie around in
the Conservatives, looking dry and dusty
and like heaps Of dead fibre and rusty
leaves. No one would suppose that they
were so costly. One little plant, which is
only a knob Of fibre with three mOuldy
leaves on it, is worth $50. Some very rare
and elegant orchids are now
in blossom. Oucidium papillo,
or sbutterhy" orchid, is very
desirable fo- decorations. and is showing
some very marvellous flowers. This va
riety has been imported in large numbers

TIE increasing number 81 divorces
granted every year in nearly every State
has been the subject CT much attention
In a speech in the United States Senate i
few weeks ago Senator Brown expressed
the opinion that the evil o. polygamy was
notmuch greater than the divorce evil
Divorces are confined to the middle and
upper classes. Few very poor people ap-
pear In the courts as applicants for d.
Eorces. II must not BE concluded how
ever. that there are no causes for divorces
among this latter class. There Is more
unhappiness, perhaps, among the people
Of tnis class than any other The very
moor people do not seek divorces. because
they haven't money for expenses Ihey

when they think they have cause for sep
arating.
A writer in the Philadelphia Press calls
attention 10 some facts collected By the
general secretary Of the charity orgauiza-
tion Of that city respecting assertions.
In six months is cases were Investigated
in which husbands had deserted their
wives. The assertions in three -fourths
the cases v ere TIE result u t4l A4NN IA
perance either Of the husband or the
wife. The same writer says that the
investigations did not include the
whole city and were not by any
means thorough. he thinks from the
best information he can obtain that the
desertions number about 900 a year. The
divorces granted ia Philadelphia number
between 500 aud 400 annually. The deser-
tons. therefore, greatly outnum5er the
divorces. In discussing the divorce evil
from the standpoint Of ruined homes and
separated families. no mention is made
OF the desertion evil, which, though closely
akin TO the divorce evil, is greater than it
is and more disastrous in its effects upon
society. il is more disastrous because
the parties 10 desertions, in the majority
Of cases, quickly sink into shame and
degradation. 1t is probable that the
assertions in other large cities out
number the divorces as greatly as they do
in Philadelphia. There ought certainly
something be done to check the divorce
evil. but if it were checked would not the
desertion evil increase?

Falling Tent at Cortland.
AT $50 O'Clock this afternoon, says a
Cortland. n. Y, special Of July % to the
World, during the performance of Bar
mum, Bailey & Hutchinson's circus, a
whirlwind struck the performing tent, in
which were about 5000 people. The first
intimation of the storm was the uprising
tent. The scene for a few moments was
thrilling. About seventy-five persons
were injured by falling chains and quar-
ter-poles, some it is feared fatally. The
excitement was not at all lessened by
the falling rain. The wind struck the
tent near the entrance from the
dressing-rooms, where preparations were
being made for the chariot races, the
horses being already harnessed. The ter
rifed people, or those who could olsen
tangle themselves from the mass Of canvas
and debris inside, rushed out among the
still more terrified horses. Many people
were trampled upon by the plunging
horses. some Of them being frightfulIv
injured. though none fatally.
Great difficulty was experienced by the
trainers in managing the elephants, which
trumpeted loudly and threatened to rush
IN among the frightened people. No per-
Torrance was attempted in the evening.
The loss sustained by Barnum is only
that Of the tent, valued at $4,000. THIS
Is the first accident of the kind Barnum
has had since 1871.

The July circular Of the Department Of
Agriculture Of South Carolina reports
much damage TO the wheat crop by heavy
rains during harvest. In many places
It sprouted in the shock, and in others it
rotted. The same is true Of oats. An
increased area Of per cent. is reported
planted in corn. and the condition Of the
crop is estimated at SO. The cotton report
talIies with that Of Georgia. Wet wealth
er. cool nights and grass have retarded
the growth OF the plant, which is nottruit-
ing well in some sections. No worms are
reported. The average condition for the
State Is put at %, but in few Of the
lower counties it is reported as high as
los. Fruit of all kinds has been abundant
aud Of superior quality. Farmers are
depressed by unfavorable seasons and
financial stringency, but the outlook is
considered encouraging.
