ADULTERATIONs.

A couple of firms in New York hav-
ing been caught using poisonous chemi-
Gals to color coffee and change its ap-
pearance, the health department has
ordered discontinuance OF the use for
such purpose of any substance deleteri-
ous to health. This is very mild ac.
ton to take. In most states the food
adulteration laws would prohibit such
coloring even with harmless SUBJ
stances. The manifest interest is to
.defraud. 1t is done to make the coffee
look like better grade and sell for
more than it is worth. The mixture
OF flour with yeast powder or plaster
of paris with flour may not be injurious
to health, but it is punishable under the
adulteration laws. These laws are too
seldom enforced. The violation of
them has been tolerated SO long that it
has become respectable. 1t requires
considerable skill and attention to de.
tail to secure the evidence required to
sustain case in court, and these quail
ties are not often at the disposal of a
health department. It is only when
some great infamy like the bogus but
ter business has forced itself upon the
whole community that the health of
hcers and the courts find it out and
give it a full degree of atten

They Did Not Appreciate it.
[From the Musical World. /


With several musical friends Sig.
Ostinelli was out on little tour giving
musical entertainments. They accepted
an invitation to visit village, where
they we're told they would find people
OF taste and education who would lp-
preciate their performance and patron
ize them we'll. They went, but found
small audience. Not disheartened.
they determined to win golden applause
by astonishing few, if nothing more.
All their efforts seemed in vain, No. a
clap nor a stamp of applause was elicit
ed, but all were as still and demure as
If at q funeral or Quaker meeting.
At last Ostineli said: Wait leetle, I
give dem de grand solo," He presented
himself before them violin in hand, ex-
pecting to receive that applause which
always greeted his appearance on such
occasions. He fourished his bow and
ran his fingers with astonishing velocity
all over the finger board He sawed and
sawed away, getting more and more ex-
cited, until he played as if the very
genius of inspiration had settled upon
him. He fairly outdid himself in the
opinion OF his musical companions. Bnt
it was all to no purpose the audience
sat unmoved and silent, as if waiting
Tor something, not receiving. The fan
tasia which he was playing ended with
an exquisite finale. He bowed and
bowed, and was moving off the stage
when one of the audience called out !:
Look a-here, meow, you've been tuning
your darned old fiddle about long
enough; can't you give us tune
neow?"

HEALTH ON OCEAN sTEAMERs

Il Nk i i q
The magnificent palaces which float
upon the Atlantic are worth $1,O0O,OOO
each or more, and have every conven-
ience which money can provide, and
yet, according 10 the Medical Society
Of the County OF New York-the most
influential organization of its kind in
America 9 the medical and sanitary ad-
ministration of ocean steamships is un-
reliable and often far from satisfactory.
whereby many lives are needlessly sacri-
feed and foreign infection is freely i'm
ported to this country. Congress can
not afford to disregard the warning
which is thus addressed to it, and legis-
lation must be provided to insure prop
or sanitary administration at sea, and
especially to prevent epidemic invasion
through the steerage. The most enter
prising steamship managers will need
nothing more than the hint already
given to induce them to perfect sani-
tary arrangements of their vessels, but
the law must compel conformity to san
itary science on the part Of managers
who are too obtuse to voluntarily adopt
the suggestions of the medical men Of
New York.

FROM 1850 TO 1851.


1t is interesting to note the fact that
one of the seven commencemento orators
out of a class OF over 200 graduates at
Harvard this year, is young colored
man. His name. is Robert Heberton
Terrell, and he was born in Virginia, of
slave parents in 1867. He came to Mas
sachusetts at Is, and was for O. time a
waiter in Memorial Hall, the large club
house on the college campus, but was
encouraged to prepare for the Univer-
sity, and now graduates with the honors
of his class. His remarkably success
ful career so far will be an encourage
ment and inspiration to thousands OF
his race. Who would have dreamed in
1860, that in less than a quarter of a
century, a child of slavery would be IN
honored gradurate of the leading Amer
ican University?

LAND IN IRELAND.
The nnproductiyeness Of Irish nro,

Theunproductiven of Irish proper
ty is giving landlords serious trouble.
Even the low rents which they have
set upon the holdings are not always
forthcoming, and they are driven to
their wits ends as to what they can or
ought to do They are anxious to sell,
but unfortunately capitalists outside of
Ireland are not disposed to invest their
means in Irish property. A few days
ago meeting of landlords was held in
ID bin, and the situation considered
but nothing satisfactory was arrived at
The matter of selling to the tenantry
was discussed, but even this seems i'm
possible, for the owners and tenants
cannot como to an agreement. The
landlords are anxious to get price for
their lands equal TO the capitalized rent
sof ten years, and to this the tenants
will not agree. Mr.. Parnell and other
Irish leaders recommend price equal
to the capitalization Of seven years, but
this the owners are unwilling to accept.
Thus the matter stands, and in the
meantime the population is thinning
out by emigration.

JAPAN LACQUER.

One of the chief industries of Japan
is in danger Of extinction, and the ma
tive papers are giving the subject seri-,
ous attention. The tree from which
the varnish for lacquer work is obtained
is rapidly disappearing. There was a
law at one time for the protection OF
the tree, providing that each family of
the higher class had to cultivate one
hundred trees, of the middle class
seventy and Of the lower class forty.
The law has long been neglected,
and the trees have become very rare,
in consequence Of which the lacquer
industry is suffering and the price Of
the ware is greatly increased.

zHEPOsTAL NOTE.

The new government postal note, soon
to be issued, is of alate-black color.
The design is the result Of the deter
n,ination of the government to devise a
note which could not be raised" from
the amount for which it was issued.
This point is secured by the removal of
the vertical row of figures signifying
dollars in the old note, and the substi-
tntion of o set of coupons at the left Of
the notes, each representing dollar.
For note of $1.25 the dimes and cents
will be punched in the new note from
rows Of figures situated as in the old
note, and the dollars will be denoted by
tearing off three coupons and leaving
one joined to the note.

CHICAGO, june 6.-Following is the
official record of the fourth ballot:
A Mythery.

tFrom the wilamsport Breakfast Table,
One day the gods were making men,
and after they had turned out seven or
eight good healthy, active fellows, Ju-
piter, who was bossing the job, turned
to the crowd and said:
"We've run out of brains, and can't
make any more men to-day. I've got
a little piece left here,but it isn't big
enough to make man." It was an in
conceivably small object that the god
showed them perhaps as large as a
pin head or the hind legs of Colora-
do beetle. "Well," he said, "what shall /
do with it?" and he held up n little
piece OF brain.
Guess you'll have to make dude
out OF it" observed one Of the gods
carelessly. .It's not big enough for a
horse, and too big for mule, SO you
can't make much out of it"
"All, right" sighed Jupiter, dude it
is. But it's pity to waste SO much
good brain where it won't do any good
And that's how We came to
have dudes.

A return lately published.in the Jour

condition of France as regards the in
crease Of population is more marked
than ever. As far as such increase is
dependent upon the augmentation of
births over deaths, the population can
now double itself but once in 267 years.
In reality the doubling takes place
more rapidly, owing to en- increasing
number OF immigrants. 1t is once in
