"Are not such compounds injuriousg
Not when used simply for hsvoring
purposes" was the answer. The reason
why thew may be used to initiate natural
favors with such success If doubtless due
to the fact that the havOrs of the natural
fruits are due to their presence. Butyrie
acid is naturally present in the pine APP
pie, tartaric acid in wine, citric acid in
lemons, and Oxalic acid in gooseberries.
While artificial flavOrs or essences would
be poisonous, taken in large quantities,
it does not follow that their use as fis-
vors is injurious any more than that al
monds should not be eaten because their
concentrated extract is poisonous. As a
matter of fact soda water favors and
candy favors are almost invariably arti-
fetal, and the bouquet and flavor OF
many bottle of wine is due TO the vari-
Gus amylic or fusel oil others"
II remember" he continued, seeing

thing often when have drunk the sweet
cider of commerce. OF course there is a
sweet cider that is made from apple juice
and it may be kept from getting hard by
the addition of bisulphite of lime. But
there are immense quantities of sweet
cider sold that are perfectly innocent of
apple juice, and there are plenty of re-
ceipts for making it. People that know
what good apple cider is are not likely
to drink much of the manufactured
cider, and if they did it would not hurt
them, although | would not like to drink
cider made from this receipt"
The chemist showed the reporter a
trade receipt for cider, which called for
honey, catechu Gan astringent resin),
alum, yeast, bitter almonds, cloves, burnt
sugar and alcohol. The receipt adds:
"If too sweet, add sulphuric acid to suit
the taste"
"Sulphuric acid" he said, 'is not a
healthful article of diet; but, as | said
before, thing may be perfectly limo

[Golden Days

Recently, one of the old birds in Doc
tor Primes collection-a gray sparrow
became blind. Straightway little dark
brown-and-white bird, known asa Jap
anese nun, and named Dick, became the
sparrow's friend.
The sparrow's home had round hole
as doorway. Little Dick would sit on
a perch opposite the hole and chirp. The
blind bird would come out, and, guided
by Dicks chirps, would leap to the
perch, and so on to the seed cup and
water bottle. But the most curious part
Of the performance was when the blind
sparrow would try to get back into the
house. Dick would place the sparrow
exactly opposite the hole by showing him
along the perch. When opposite, Dick
would chirp and the blind bird would
leap in, never failing.

WHAT THEY PUT I'M FLAVORS.
Fusel Oil and Sulphuric Acid
Among the Things.
New York Sun.1

There is mighty little genuine fruit
extract in the syrups and favors of COM
merce," the chemist of manufacturing
house said, pushing aside glass jars,
strainers and retorts, so as to make a
clear space for some OF his books of
formula. Natural favors are both
weak and costly. For instance, if you
sugar down pineapples or strawberries,
you get delightful natural syrup, but
your white sugar alone will cost you SO
cents a gallon, and the fruit is expaa-
sive, as you know. The flavor is just at
its proper strength, and will not go a
great way in favoring additions to the
syrup; and SO only small portion of
the fruit syrups and essences of COM
merce have any fruit about them.
Smell this"
He unstopped vial of thin, transpar-
ent liquid. 1t diffused strong pineap-
pie odor of irritating pungency.
That" he said, sis butyric acid.
Mixed with alcohol, it is the pineapple
oil of commerce, and it enters into nearly
every flavor manufactured and into most
perfumes. 1t is extracted from rancid
fat. The tallow oil, which is the basis
of artificial butter, will furnish it. An
other prominent ingredient of artificial
iavors is amyle, which you will know
better by the name of fusel OIL
Some one of its compounds go into the
manufacture of the favors of pineapple,
strawberry, raspberry, apricot, pear,
orange and apple. Compounds of
methyl, an extract of coal tar, are also
much used. Succinic acid, extracted
from fat, and benzoic acid, originally ex-
tracted from a vegetable resin, but now
made from naphthaline, coal oil pro-
duct, are also much used in various
shapes. Formic acid, another ingredient,
was originally obtained from ants, and
thence Its name is derived from the
Latin word for ant, formica. Chloro-
form goes into some Aavors, notably
grape essence, and oxalic acid goes into
the bloom of gooseberry, apricot, lemon
and apple. Tartaric acid is also largely
used. Most of these substances are used

AN ERRATIC GENIUS.
Death i'm the Midst of Poverty
and Loneliness.

On Sunday morning last occurred the
death of Peter Carmichael, of LIE Roy,
an cratic mechanical genius, aged about
81 yerrs, says The Buffalo Express. The
deceased, in his early days, was a respect
ed resident of this village. He dressed
we'll, sported a gold-headed cane, and
counted many of the prominent young
men among his friends.
He was very familiar to many of our
older residents, who will always remem-
Der him for his peculiar eccentricities and
Clip tongue. At an early age he devel-
oped taste for machenery, and he was
found to be always working upon some
object, the secret of which he would keep
to himself until there was a probability
of success, and then he would confide in
some trusted friend.
In this way he accumulated ideas that
brought out many appliances of real
worth, among which was a peculiar
match-safe containing several conven-
fences. An improved gate for railway
stations was also produced, and while it
had many commendable points, it was
not adopted by anybody owing to his
peculiar habit of laying aside his &C.
complishments as fast as they were COM
pleted.
He also succeeded in constructing a
steam-engine, which promised to be an
invention of great value, but this, like all
his other mechanical productions, soon
found retirement. His gate, however,
was rendered available for many pur.
poses, and at one time he travelled over
the COUNTRY selling it to farmers and
Others. Wherever he went his peculiar

Mortality Among Bishops Wives.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette has called attention to the alarm
ing mortality among bishops wives. 1t
appears that at present there are six
bishops who are widowers, five who have
been married twice and one, the Bishop
of Liverpool, who has been married
three times. 1t is not likely that even
these alarming statistics will permanent
ly detract from the value of a bishop in
the matrimonial market, but few plau-
sible theories on the subject might be
interesting.

If he couldn't have liberty he wanted to die, but he was ill no great rush about it. He would like liberty if there was plenty of it, but if the British had ID liberty to spare he yearned for death. When the ty- rant asked him what style of death he wanted he said that he would rather die of extreme old age. He was willing to wait, be said. He didn't want to go unprepared, and he thought it would take him eighty or ninety years more to prepare, so that when he was ushered into another world he wouldn't be ashamed of himself.
 One hundred and ten years ago Patrick Henry said: s'Sir, our chains are forged. Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston. The war is inevitable, and let it come. I repeat it, sir, let it come P
 In the spring of 1860 I used almost the same language. So did Horace Greeley. There were four or five of us who got our heads together and decided that the wal was inevitable, and consented to let it come.
 Then it came. Whenever there is g large, inevitable conflict loafing around waiting for permission to come, it devolvet on the great statesman and bald-heade6 litey0i of the nation to avoid all delay. II was so with Patrick Henry. He permitted the land to be deluged in gore, and ther he 1etired. It is the duty of the great or. ator to howl for war and then hold som, other mans coat while he fights.

MT. Ford formerly sent 2O,OOO copies of his paper to Ireland every week. MT. Ford says: "No reason is given by England for her action. It is done ill the spirit of might makes right, and as if she felt sure no one would interfere. If this government should retaliate by ordering the documents of the Golden Club. for in. stance, prevented from coming into this country, we should hear from England very quickly, asking an explanation.

NChiS iheeh.H RUM AND REASON.

When wine is in, the wit is out A proverb true, without doubt. But where is reason all this while ? Now if yourself you can beguile You'll say, it sits upon it's throne Ruling supreme, without moan. Reason, (the greatest boon to man) Is something that we cannot span, Yet, all it's great and mighty power Can be dethroned within an hour, And driven from it's rightful home A cast out wanderer to roam. When reason was bestowed on man The giver did not need to fan It in to life with alcohol; It could work, and act, and could call Its noble power to life without it. But mankind were bound to doubt it. A little for the stomachs sake, And then a little more you take To make you merry and to cause Your reasoning powers not to pause And then little more, until
 You really think you've had your fill And when (brim full) you stagger home, Or up and down the street you roam, Say, where's your reason? on it's throne: !: And does it guide you as it ought When by policeman you are caught And thrust into narrow cell
 With filth and vermin there to dwell 1? Or, should good luck upon you smile, And you reach home in zigzag style, And stumble over all the chairs Trying to find the chamber stairs, And finally tumble into bed
 With your wrong end towards the head And heave up Jonah on the spread; Oh reason, what are you about? Why don't you help this fellow out Of trouble ? We'll, kind sir, I would Be glad to help him if could, But 'tis rum that controls him now, And to his tyranny Iil bow.
 Where is mans reason? When the knif, Will end fellow beings life,
 When the unerring pistol ball,
 Fired by rum, causes one to fall.
 When the husband, who was true and kind Leaves home for bar-room, there to find His pleasure, is his reason right?
 When the father will seek at night
 The club room, there to pass his hours, Destroying body, soul, and powers?
